The Letter-Box

This is a report ON the Weepah gold strike as re-
ported by several of the local prospectors returned
from there. They all say is the bunk the pay streak
is about the size of hat usually the Much of
the from there via Tonapah, the Universal
staff correspondent there is executor of the old
Appeal to Reason Z. N. Richardson who used the
prestige gained thereby to swinde thousands of work
ers by various stock swndles such OIL potash fake
colony scheme old prospect holes after cleaning up
here, he went to Tonapah where he is on the job as
publicity man for bunch of promoters of fabuOusly
rich mines?
About 10 per cent Of the money taken in on
stock sales is applied to mining the balance keeps these
parasites in luxury they continue promoting
ones. Without ever taking out shipment ore,
they did take out ofvaue the suckers would never
hear of it. Look at the picture of Horton the dscoverer
You can see he is desert rat he has bay win
dow like gambler The real desert rat is thin he
always carries Jumps of to keep the wind from
blowing him away. He rule is a hard worker,
knows his business and seldom sells claim. He usually
earns and spends his money. Some of them really
have good claims, but don't sell for stock
Not of the would stock a prospect where rich
ore had been struck would pay its way down
from the lizard tracks AS Horton the discoverer of
Weepah is selling stock this fact alone proves it
fake The writer has punched burros over thousands
of miles of this desert country and knows just what
he is writing The miner and prospector belongs along
with the rest of the exploited classes
When he has to sell the railroads and the smelter
trust get most all of it. For every dollar taken out of
the ground probably $500 is spent looking for it. Some
of who know where good rich float is to be found
will never quit looking for it. But all say to hell
with the tin horn
Calls for Assistance in Workers Daily Struggle.
Editor Daily Worker-As a member of the organ
lied labor body, would like to give my views on the
issues confronting the labor movement
Firstly, the slogan ought to be raised: Honesty in
the trade union movement" In the local to which be-
long, No of the International Brotherhood of Flectr
cal Workers. there such grating corruption brib
cry and betrayal Of the members, that the average
worker could hardly believe that such situation could
exist Strange to say, all those found guilty were very
conservative officials have yet to find real radical
leader of labor have finger pointed at him as being
crooked.
Secondly to the COMMUNISTS the left wing and the
labor press of the radicals, say this-Do not talk
too much Communism, but get down to the workers
every day struggle for existence Fight TO raise the
workers standards Of living that he can have the
better things Of life 1t for these things that the
pioneers of the trade union movement gave their lives
Thirdly, say to the progressives, radicals and the
left wing keep up the good work which you have done
lately in Passaic and doing among the furriers
and garment workers. Also l think one industry the
auto industry, ought to be organized by the radicals
because the A. f. Of L. has been passing resolutions on
the matter, and there is where they stop.
Never mind the Greens and Wells, the Signians and
their cohorts, worthy radicals keep up the fight for
unonsml know it is hard fight but after all any
thing worth fighting for good thing Get the chill
dusriay and politically, and half the battle for bet
ter, labor movement and better humanity is won.
