Miners Fight Schwab's
Mercenaries

u.
BENTLEYVILLE, Pa, Nov. o.
C. M. Schwab's mines out at Bent
leyville in Washington County, Penn
sylvania, are an armed camp with
machine guns mounted atop slate
piles 200 feet high commanding every
entrance to the mines, and powerful
searchlights set above the guns
sweeping the roads and the hillside all
night long, picking out every car and
man approaching. To complete the
military touch, some of the mines
have the stars and stripes floating
above their machine guns.

saw waxen-faced children like

in November, forced to trudge some
three miles every day to school over
hill roads because Bethlehem Steel
has thrown the strikers children out
of the two schools in the neighbor-
hood and only lets in the children of
scabs.
One Heroic Incident.
One of the Bethlehem Steel Corpo-
rnticn victims, q 23-year-old girl, was
brought back to Bentleyville to be
buried the other day. Her tall, bent
husband told me about it. In 1925 he
and his wife and their babies, one and
two years old, were evicted from the
company house they lived in at the
Cokeburg Mine The sheriff's notice
allowed them ten days to get out, but
even that was too slow for Bethlehem
Steel, and to hasten things along the
company kept coal from being brought
up to the house. That was effective.
It was February. The young wife
fell sick with pneumonia, and pneu
monia developed into tuberculosis. She
died in Denver alone. Her husband
came there a month ago, to be near
her, and got job in the Colorado
field. But then the strike was called,
and "You can't go scabbing," she told
him and sent him away.
Observation-Disclosures.
Bethlehem Steel owns over fifty
mines in West Virginia and Pennsyl
vania. First, Schwab broke the union
in his West Virginia mines, in 1924.
Then, as soon as he was getting suf-
ficient coal out of there, he turned his
attention to Pennsylvania. First he
shut down, and then opened up the
mines "scab," one after another. Evic-
tions were begun-systematic so
many every week, as the scabs were
brought in. 1t was not long till not
single union family was left in any
of the Bethlehem Steel Company
houses.
Horrible Hardships.
The strikers families scattered
around the region, sometimes two
families to room, and sometimes
three. Some are still living like that

Latin-American influence in
Nicaragua, it was learned. 1t is
for the prime purpose of pro-
tecting American acquired
rights to an inter-oceanic canal
across Nicaragua, for the pro-
lection of naval bases on both
the Atlantic and Pacific sides of the
republic and also for the protection of
the Panama Canal.
For purposes of diplomacy and pos
sibly for domestic political reasons
little is said about the matter at this
time. Officials wish to avoid any
charge of imperialism in the coming
campaign, and probable attacks on
American policies at the Pan-Ameri-
can congress at Havana next January.
This is of paramount Importance,
officials declare. 1t will provided the
United States with a buffer between
the remainder of Central America
and the Panama Canal. But of al
most equal Importance, it is pointed
out, it will provide a base of opera
tions in the event of war, of attack
on the Panama Canal, or of other
Latin American countries declaring
war on the side of American enemies.

Coincidentally with the release from
the navy department here of an ecs-
tatic story of the "heroic" actions of
two navy air bombers who fell while
in the act of blowing up Nicaraguan
nationalists and were killed in battle
after they had murdered prisoner in
their hands, the state department an
nounced the taking over of another
section of the Nicaraguan govern
ment, to be ruled directly from
Washington.
The United States has decided to
administer Nicaragua's financial af-
fairs as well as it's military affairs.

AS the first move in establishing
the national receivership' over the
conquered territory, the United States
will send DR.. w. P. Cumberland to
Managua to supervise the proposed
reorganization of the Nicaraguan fin
ancial structure.
Cumberland. who is American fin
ancier advisor to the Haitian govern
ment, is expected to resign that post
at once.
Part of the financing provides for
an immediate loan of 100000 to the
Wall Street controlled Diaz govern
ment to meet claims arising out of
the resistance of Nicaraguan nation
alists to domination by the United

Eventually, additional American
credits totaling approximately $22,-

Hog Prices Are |.
Lower Due To
Big Oversupply

Hog prices now are lowest since
December 1924, and SO per cent
lower than a year ago, announces
the Bureau of Agricultural Econ
omies, United States Department
OF Agriculture.
The decline is reflected. to some
extent in wholesale prices of cured
pork products, and should be fol-
lowed by lower retail prices, says
the bureau.
Price reductions in the livestock
and wholesale meat markets are
attributed to increased supplies
OF pork in the domestic market, the
result of increased slaughter and u
sharp curtailment in the export
movement.
Pork production under Federal
inspection has increased 100000
pounds since January ! this year
compared with Il year ago, and ex.
ports have declined more than u.s.,
600, 900 pounds. Imports during the
same period have increased over
100000 pounds. This represents II
total increase of S12 per cent in
domestic supplies over the same
period last year.
Wholesale prices of light hams
and dry salt backs at New York
are around 20 per cent less than Il
year ago, and bacon and picnic
shoulders in the same market show
a decline of IA to II per cent.
Heavy hams in the Chicago whole
sale market are down 13 to IL per
cent, fat backs - per cent, and
picuics, and fancy bacon 2l per

in the United States Department
of Agriculture.
The first association of which
records are available was organized
in 1918. Fifty-five of the associat-
ions have been organized since
1920. Although these 20 associat-
ions are scattered over u States,
, the majority are located in Min
nesota, Missouri. California and
Washington.
The associations on the Pacific
, Coast serve members who make a
business Of operating large poultry
ranches. and to a cOnsiderabl cX-
