der arrest. Many people who do not
work in the fur trade were also
searched, dubbed and beaten by the
squad.
Labor Takers Try BulldOzing
Methods.
The officials of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor go from shop to
shop, hold conferences with the manu-
facturers on schemes for getting the
fur workers to register in the scab
union and break the Joint Board Of
the furriers' union. The bosses will
ingly stop the factories in the middle
of the day when the workers are at
work so that the officials of the
American Federation of Labor can
hold speeches to those who work in
the factory; and in the evening at
the gates of the factories they have
their gangsters from the East Side
and the industrial squad terrorize
and force the workers to register in
the company union that was organ
lied by Matthew Vol, Hugh Frayne,
etc. The workers defy them and
stay with the Joint Board.
Bosses Join With A. f. of L.
In one of the large shops of the
fur industry, Il. Geller & Sons, the
bosses hung a sign on the wall an
nouncing that the workers must reg
lister in the scab union if they do
not want to be discharged from their
job. Upon this the workers immed-
lately got up, dropped their tools,
declared strike in the shop, went
down to the office Of the Joint Board
of Furriers' Union elected strike
and picketing committee and the
strike is now in full blast. The work
ers hold huge mass picketing de-
and are joined by other
workers who conS down from other
shops. The bosses tried to provoke
a fight with the pickets, so that the
police and the industrial squad should
beat and slug the pickets but to no
avail. The officials of the American
Federation of Labor are trying high
and low to get scabs for the firm,
but cannot get many. The workers
are solid behind the Joint Board Fur
riers' Union and are ready to stay
out until the bosses get the false
illusion out of their heads of trying
to break the Joint Board Furriers'
Union and establish a company union
with the labor takers.
Many shops have passed resolu-

The fur workers realize what it
means to lose their union that they

strated that the non-union men are
interested in organization. And they
have forced the scab corporations to
be more cautious. For instance, a
wage cut had been posted at a near
by mine in Carpenter Park, reduc-
ing tonnage rates to 55 cents. The
notice was withdrawn.
The strike was officially endorsed
by the United Mine Workers, Inter-
national organizer, Fred Thomas, and
District No. 2 organizers, Fazio and
Slifco, arriving promptly. The Wind
Der miners themselves called the
walkout after speeches by Powers
Hapgood, Tony Minerich and George
Papcun, visiting union miners.
Somerset County struck solidly
with the United Mine Workers in the
great national strike of 1922. A
walSout of Berwind- White men was
followed by the (Rockefeller) Con-
solidation Coal Co. and other miners.
In central Pennsylvania, just north
of Somerset, the union is working
under temporary truce. But strike
prevails in the Pittsburgh district, as
in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.

even issued a statement in support OF

However, the foreign press con-

the Northern Nationalist and turn

These reports reach us chiefly through
Japanese sources.

There is not the slightest doubt
that the foreign powers are plotting
to create an internal explosion in

China regarding Chang Kai Shek's

the reason to fear that the danger Of

HENRIETTA, Okla, April A.
Twenty-seven miners entombed in the
Old Wise Coal Company mine near
this city had a narrow escape from
death by drowning today when the
waters of Mcdonald Creek over
flowed lowlaHd section near the
mouth of the mine.
According to officials of the COM
pany, the men at first believed
drowned, were found to be safe in
high lateral tunnel.
As soon as the water which flooded
the main shaft recedes, the entombed
men can wade to the point from
which they can be rescued, officials
of the mine company said.
There was doubt at the mine of
fices as to the exact number of min
ers trapped. The estimates ranged
from twenty-three to twenty-seven
men. At the mouth of the shaft,
however, the latter number was be-
lieved correct.
Escape By Miracle.
! Little hope of rescuing the men
alive had been held when the waters
poured through the main shaft. That
the group saved their lives by flee
ing to place of safety under the
ground was considered a miracle by
those on the scene. Death had APP
peared inevitable.
After a tense silence, rescue work
ers who were trying to communicate
with the trapped men through a drill
hole, finally heard voices from with
in the tunnel where the men sought
safety.
All were safe, a spokesman
shouted.
Accidents More Numerous.
More than forty men were at work
in the mine, but about half of them
were not in the danger levels. Very
little provision against such a flood
had been made by the coal operators,
the Eagle Picher Shelter Co.
The United Mine Workers of
America wages a continual fight
against dangerous conditions in
mines, but lately has been somewhat
on the defensive, a situation which
miners believe to be responsible for
the recently increased number of
fatal and near fatal accidents.

They were working in the Crescent
Mine property of the company, and
are practical prisoners when the
question Of joining the union comes
up.
Only the jealousy of the state po-
lice prevented an armed raid on the
meeting by coal and iron police (com-
pany gunmen). The Pittsburgh Coal
Co. sent its guards down to break up
the meeting, but the state constabu-
larry, who were at the meeting in
force, regarded this as an invasion
on their rights, and chased the COM
pany thugs back onto company pro-
perty.
The Brownsville Telegraph pub
lished the next day fanciful story
that only $50 miners attended the
meeting.
