JAN--THE UNCONQUERED

By MEYER -DWORKIN.

In the autumn of 1919 after the great steel strike
led by Comrade Foster lived to Jan, tall strong
Pole who pair of long black mustaches, and had
awry bony face. He was steel worker and shaved
nights in Judge Gary's flaming steehels somewhere
in the south side of the smokeaden city of Cleveland
The brutality of the police, together with the terrible
black power of the local capitalist press, instrument

so with jan He always remained the unconquered

JAMS fighting spirit tempered and he
imbittered against the steel magnates than
before.

JAMS loyalty and belief in Comrade Fosters honest
leadership and devotion to the steestrkers has
diminished although Jan went through terrible priva

greater suffering and prvaton after the strike lost
I remember, early at dawn when Jan returned from

Editor: The DAILY WORKER:-1n
answer to the call of the Sacco-Van-
zetti Emergency Committee to put
down tools on Thursday July 7th, at
A P. NJ, to protest against the death
sentence; the New York trade-unions,
acted promptly and enthusiastically.
After a o'clock the worker S
streamed into Union Square, to
demonstrate, bringing with them
many vivid banners. Along with
them came duly elected delegates
from fraternal, socialist, Communist
and l. w. w. organizations.
After few leaders Of the socialist
party had spoken, but actually moth
ing of interest was said on this vital
issue,-a very great number of work
ers spotted Ben Gold, the leader of
the furriers, in the audience and
called upon him to speak. The So
cialist leaders who dominated the
platform refused their request.

Calls Bosses Bluff.

The meeting on Tuesday 21st was
somewhat disappointing. A big carni-
val Something that is really a treat
for the oppressed workers of Ches-
teri, was in full swing The bosses
had been more open in their disap-
prevail of the workers attending the
meeting, many workers had been laid
off, county police and deputies were
on the job surrounding the hall, the
superintendent intended son-in-law
was on the corner warning workers
not to go inside the hall.
Withal quite a fair enthusiasm to
the talk about the arrests and the
future policy to be persued. Fore
men, teachers, stool-pigeons and de-
tectives present at the meeting actu-
ally looked uncomfortable as Devine
built up a case against the inhuman
treatment melted out to the workers
in Irving's mill. In pointing out the
visit of the superintendent son-in-
law, Devine called the boss's bluff.
II have been approached unofficially
and told that Mr.. Irving would be
prepared to meet a committee of
workers with myself included for the
purpose of discussing the dispute -
and that compromise would almost
certainly be arrived att, said Devine.
81 now publicly say we are prepared
to meet Mr.. Irving at anytime to
discuss the grievances"
The meeting unanimously endorsed
that attitude. It was decided to call
further meeting if anything deves-
ops.
During the following afternoon
Devine telephoned Mr.. Atkinson, the
superintendent, who refused to ack-
nowledge the unofficial representa-
tive of Saturday morning. The super
intendent tried to bring in mahy
side issues but was not allowed. The
talk concluded with the intimation by
Devine that a committee of workers
would meet him when he realized how
necessary it was. Meantime things
are moving as formerly.
The workers are not yet solid, but
the signs are that struggle is brew
ing. It may be weeks, it may be
months, it does not matter. One
thing is certain and that is, the work
ers are covertly talking strike. A
continuation of the present terrible
conditions will accentuate that feel
ing and bring the workers definitely
to the point of fight, Keep your eye
on Chester.

Chester Textile Workers in
Strike Ferment
(Continuedl

(Continued)
In previous article the author
told how textile workers in this city
met to consider the case of an at
tempted wage reduction in the Irv-
ings Worsted Mill. At the meeting
numerous spies of the employers
were discovered and invited to leave
the meeting).
After clearing the boss delegation,
the meeting proceeded enthusiasticaI-
ly. Workers from various departments
in the mill recited their experiences
and working conditions. A little girl
of II years told about cockroaches
running all over the place, even into
the lunch baskets; another girl about
II years told about the dirty toilets
and the unspeakable wage of $1,000
for two weeks work; another related
the merciless speed-up SYSTEM. of get
ting increased profits.
The meeting closed with the work
ers determined to go ahead with the
work of preparing for struggle. 1t
was decided to have another meeting
on the night of the trial of the work
ers arrested.
Boss Offers Compromise.
On Saturday morning a most I'M
usual and significant incident hap
pened. The managers side-kic1
personally called upon Devine to dis
cuss the question. "I'm confident we
can arrive at suitable compromise
he stated. Of course he was informed
the workers were the supreme author
ity and would decide upon future ac
ton.
The bosses went all over the town
to find workers. The superintendent
saw the wool sorters and suggested
they call individually at the mill when
they would probably receive their
work back.
The wool sorters rejected the offer
saying they would only go back at
the old wage and as group.
Tuesday found the interest at a
high pitch. Mr.. McDonough, very
capable Chester attorney, was in
charge of the workers case. Mr..
Montgomery represented the Irving
Worsted Mill. In the opening of the
case Mr.. Montgomery showed war
rants he had sworn out charging the
defendants with melting to riot. The
usual gallery of superintendent, bos-
ses, ETC., set about giving their evil
dence to prove that a riot was i'm
minent The workers lawyer looked
unconcernedly only taking time to
elicit from the witnesses for the
prosecution that they did all the ar
resting without having warrants or
even being detectives. The case was
postponed till the fan term Of
court which does not assemble until
October
Mr.. McDonough, attorney for the
workers stated at the close of the
session that the whole case was il
legal and would be quashed when it
came up for hearing.

Letters From Our Readers

8 The workers would not listen to
this, and again called upon him to
speak But as they were again
ignored, the demand for Gold in
creased when they carried him on
their shoulders to the platform.
The socialist leaders refused to let
him speak and kicked him in the face.
Rather than give Gold the platform,
and allow the demonstration to go
on successfully, the socialist called on
their assistants, the police force, TO
break up the meeting.
The socialist party never intended
from the beginning to carry through
this important protest meeting. 1t
was all prearranged from the outset,
| by the socialist party and the right
wing labor leaders. They knew the
composition of the fraternal and po-
litical organizations and trade unions,
who responded to the strike call, and
would demand equally representation
to speak. The socialist party wished
to dominate the meeting and exclude
the other duly elected delegates who
disagreed with them.
When they saw it was impossible
to do this, owing to the overwhelm-
ing of the audience to hear their own
delegates they destroyed the demon
stration. What the socialist party
and the Forward gang have done to
honest and militant workers in their
trade-unions, and on the picket lines,
they have done here.
A great many thousands of workers
who have not witnessed before the
socialist party and right wing labor
leaders, do dirty destructive injury
to the workers and to the labor
movement, have seen it now with
their own eyes.
The socialist party, has deeply in
suited Sacco and Vanzetti, by their
depicable actions. They have no in
tention of helping to liberate these
two innocent workers, when at the
same time they kill the spirit of
militancy in their own unions.
All honest men and women Of the
toiling class should raise their voice
and demand of Governor Fuller Of
Massachusetts, the unconditional re-
lease of Sacco and Vanzetti.
Yours Fraternally,-Mark Stone.

Your Health How To Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS TISHBEIN
 Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of HXccia. thn ErH,Ih MaCaZinc

HySCi3, the Health Magazine During the World War 47 men out of every 100 were found 10 have physical defects and @l out of every 100 were rejected because of defects which made it impossible for them to undertake military service.
 Out of 5000 persons examined full " in a recent investigation, s per cent had serious defects requiring immediate attention. 15.9 per cent had moderate defects requiring minor attention, and D per cent had mod crate defects requiring medical supervision.
 ChiIdrCn'S Health
 One of the greatest authorities in relation 10 the physical conditions Of children has asserted that 1 6,0n0,- 0oN or 75 per cent of American school children have defects that may be detrimental 10 their health and that most Of these are pre- vcntable and can be properly bene lit.d by good treatment.
 The indictment seems startling, and 1t should not be the basis of a phob!a. Many of the defects con ccrncd are of such a nature that they can be controlled with rela- lively little cost and without inter fering greatly with the ordinary ex- istenCe Of the person concerned.
 Infected tonsils, abscesses at the roots Of the teeth. chronic inflam- nations of the Gallbladder or of the appendix are conditions which in tcrferc greatly with a persons life, making him irritable, and making him lose anywhere from 15 days to a month each year away from his work. These conditions are easily controlled by ordinary medical SuDrrTiSjOn
