The great mystery of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest had left 'a most uneasy feeling every where. Tn . way it was worse than when Old Man Coyote had first come there to live. Then for while, before the other people had become acquainted with him and learned about him. there had been great un- easiness and fear. But Old Man Coyote had now lived there so long that the smaller people thought no more about him than they did about Reddy Fox. They felt that they knew him and his ways. But since his voice had been heard in two places at practically the same time, and since some Of the little people were sure that they had seen him in two places at practically the same time, he had become ever more mysterious than when he was a to- tai stranger.
 But the queer part of it all is that Old Man Coyote himself didn't know what to make of 1t. No, sir, he did mt. You see. Old Man Coyote had pointed his nose to the sky and yelped just for the sake of hearing his own voice. He had been sitting on his own doorstep the first time he did 1t. Almost at once that yelp was repeated from over on the edge of the Green Forest. Old Man Coy- ote had difficulty in believing his own ears. He tried 1t once more and again the same thing happened.
 Tt must be an echo" said Old Man Coyote to himself. -"Yes, sir, it must be an echo. But don't under stand why I've never heard it be- fore. If it Is an echo. it ought to come from the Great Mountain and not from tho Green Forest. I'll try 1t once more.'
 So Old Man Coyote tried 1t once more. and once more he had the same result. It gave him a. queer feeling all over. clear to the tip of his tail. For long time he was puzzled, but all the time he was lis tening as only Old Man Coyote can listen. Then he pointed his nose skyward and once more that start ling voice of his rang out. Prompt ly it was repeated from the edge of the Green Forest Old Man Coyote felt almost afraid. He decided he wouldn't go hunting. Instead he went back into his house and he was heard no more that night.
 The next night Old Man Coyote decided that he must have been mis- taken. He decided that 1t just couldn't be that he had heard his own voice echoed from the Green Forest. He decided that it must have been an echo, but that it must have come from the Great Moun- tain, and he had only imagined that it came from the edge Of the Green Forest. So, this time Old Man Coy ote trotted over to the foot of the Great Mountain, and there he once more sent hls voice yclping and chattering out on the night air. At once it came back to him, and 1t came back to him from the Green Forest. If IL was an echo. that echo was over in the Green Forest. He hnd proved for himself that IL had not come from the Great Mountain.
 T never heard of anything like it." muttered Old Man Coyote to himself. I've lived around hero a long time and last night was the first time that ever Iheard an echo from the Green FoHs And such

an echo. Why, it is as loud as my own voice."
 Old Man Coyote didn't howl again that night. He was too upset. He tried to make himself believe that all he had heard was an echo, but he couldn't understand how there could be such an echo. So as soon as he had caught a few mice he re- turned to his home up in the Old Pasture to try to study out the mat ter.

Sleeping Car Porters

NEW YORK.-In the course of six

plished what might normally be con-
sidered the impossible. To the as

handle was presented to it on Dec

ing Car Posters. The preliminary
hearings were staged in the Congress
Hotel in Chicago. The mediators who

Concert and Dance at
Gotham for Box Makers

NEW YORK-The thirteenth week
since the beginning OF the strike has
come and passed. The Paper Box
Union is still fighting for decent work
ing conditions and appropriate wages.
The paper box calling is the most ex-
plotted industry In the world. Wages
range from 81 to SIS per week.
How long the worker must submit to
this is a question of how soon he ac-
quires the rights that are due him.
Picket lines will continue to be formed
until justice has been given him.
Hired men with guns, cut-throat dogs
and long prison terms cannot brighten
him. He is going right on.
A concert and ball for the benefit Of
the strikers and their children will
take place at the New Star Casino,
New York, on the eve of Lincoln's
birthday, Feb. IL. Workers are urged
to attend this affair and help to make
it success. Every penny taken in
will go for the upkeep OF the kitchen
at the Church of All Nations, the fur
nishing of food otherwise, shelter,
clothing, etc.
The general relief committee asks
all volunteers who took out boxes
from their offices during the recent
joint Christmas drive, to return what
they have taken in, to Room 225, 100
Broadway.

Chicago Teachers Do Sums Out of School
and Find Their Dollar Has Shrunk in Value

Chicago teachers, using a little
arithmetic out of school, have discov-
cred that the purchasing power of
their dollar. has shrunk so that, de-
spite some raise in the salary scales,
they can buy less now than in 1914.
E. L. Kee7el, special secretary of
the Chicago Principals Club, has pub
lished the results of his investiga-
tons in the clubs periodical. The
elementary school teachers, he finds,
are the only class who can claim a
gain. Their salaries have been rails
ed to the point where they can actual
ly buy 101.S with their dollar, as COM
pared with 1914.
With the elementary principals, II
is different. Their buying power is
represented by the decimal TIL, while
1858 is accorded the high school prin-
cipals.
A graph showing the fluctuations
thru all the years since 1914 reveals
that all Of the classifications of teach
ers reached their poorest buying pow
er in 1920, and that It is in all cases
except that of the elementary teach
ers still far below pre-war times.

NEW YORK (By MaiD The des-
perate situation in which the Sigman
machine in the International Ladies'
Garment Workers finds itself as a
result of the revolt of the rank and
file causes their most strenuous efforts
in the direction of breaking the union
and demoralizing the workers.
Bosses Join SIgman.
The following incidents related at
the cloakmakers' meeting are charac-
teristic:
Tells worker: when l came to
my shop this morning / was greeted
by the boss and told that could start
work on three conditions: piecework,
$3.50 for a certain size of garment,
and immediate registration with the
international"
Says another: "In the shop at 143
West 18th street we had visit from
Sigman agent, but instead of talk
ing to workers he began fraternizing
with the boss. He told him he should
order the workers to register at the
international office and then get the
conditions best for him."
Brother VS.. Brother.
Another worker tells story of his
own brother who is the shop chair
man of his shop and one Of the Sig
man gang. This right winger tried to
intimidate his brother as we'll as some
other workers into registering with
the International and, failing to do so,
he played tick on his brother. On
pay day he got 81 less than he was
entitled to. On complaining to the
boss he got the roply that the shop
chairman said that his brother Stacked
at work.
Slgman Gets "Reds."
Communism" is the slogan of Sig
man. This was his reply to the chal-
lenge of Hyman to obey the results
of referendum to be taken under
control of non-partisans. This was
his reply to the declaration of the
Committee of Fifty of the shop chair
men that an election should take
place under the control of the shop
chairmen. Sigman knows who this
committee is, how far they are from
the Communists, but 1t sufilces that

Especial to The Daily Worker,

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Jan. l-Strik-
ing blindly against their hard condi
lions without knowledge of what real
ly ails them, the exploited farmers OF
South Dakota have now undertaken
to shake OFF land taxes, because that
is the only thing they can see. An or.
ganization has been perfected to cut
down educational appropriations as
one of the chief tax devils, but the
new organization Is being fostered by
the insurance companies and land
mortgage concerns and is being led
by one Monserud, of Sioux Falls, a
busted banker.
~ Per Cent Tenants.
FNorty-one per cent OF the farmers
In the state are now tenants, and the
lands are being turned over every day
by foreclosure to the insurance COM
panies and other money-lendinx con-
Germs. These concerns, assisted by
the rich farmers, have naturally turn
ed to reduction Of land taxes to save
themselves and to the advocacy of
Indirect taxation to be borne by the
tenant farmers and other workers as
a remedy for Increasing burdens upon
land.
Fiery Speech by Faker.
At a meeting held at Flandreau. in
this state this week there was a large
turnout Of farmers, the gathering be-
Ing conducted by Monserud and other
large land owners. One Of the speak
ers who addressed the meeting was
State Senator Benson of Moody coun-
ty. Benson was speaker of the house
Of representatives In 1890 when
this state, following the example Of
the other highly patriotic" common
passed an anti-syndicalism
bill. The measure has never been
used but it is handy for any emer-
gency that arrives. In a speech TO the
farmers Benson declared that he had
become political free-thinker" and
advised the farmers that the best
thing they could do would be to get
machine guns and go out hunting the
politicians"

CLOAKMAKERS TELL HOW BOSSES ARE
WORKING WITH THE SIGMAN MACHINE

Quoted honestly, hence his repetition
of the slogan"
Committee Statement.
1--WE want to make it clear that we
were elected by the shop chairmens
meeting for the purpose of attaining
for our members the right for stating
whom they want as their representa-
tiyes," said the Committee of Fifty.
Immediate dangers threaten the
union in case these demands are not
granted. The way to consolidate the
union, in the view of the committee,
Is to call all the shop chairmen to a
meeting where they will be able to
express their opinions about the con-
f1ict. The fact that we were elected
at a meeting called by the joint board
does not mean that the committee is
not supposed to do the work entrusted
to 1t, whether It's results will be found
wanting by one or both Of the sides"
Enthusiastic Meetings.
Two enthusiastic meetings of the
pressers and of the finishers took
place yesterday. Especially success
full was the pressers' meeting in the
Manhattan Lyceum. The hall was
full and here, as we'll as at the other
meeting, Lyman and other leaders
were cheered for the fighting speeches
they made.
Framed Workers Freed.
Yesterday IL cloakmakers who were
arrested following the insinuations of
the Forward were freed. They were
taken while serving on a committee to
visit a scab shop and stop some Of
the right wingers who refused to pay
the 10 per cent tax for the strikers.
In the shop they were greeted with
gun shots by one of the gangsters.
but on the coming Of the police they
were charged with shooting and were
taken in custody. The Forward char
acterized them as gunner and gang
sters, which was used in the court
as material against the strikers. They
were put under very heavy bail.
And only when the real gunman
came as witness did the truth come
out. He and the bosses coud not sub
stantiate their accusations, but it was
found out that the record of the gun
man was that of a criminal, and there
fore the accused were let free.

A. C. W. MEMBERS,
SUSPENDED, MAKE
RETRIAL De M And
Left L e a d S Brand
Action Autocratic

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Jan. 4. = De-
mand for rehearing and trial of their
case has been made of the general
executive board Of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America by the
two members of the union here who
were arbitrarily suspended by the
Joint board, which also caused them
to lose their jobs, because they are
members Of the left wing.
Charges False.
The two workers, Peter Teen,
shop chairman, and Sam Sugarman,
in letters to Joseph Schlossberg, gen.
eral secretary, charged that the charg-
es places against them we're fabrica-
lions and slanderous and demand
that the union grant them a trial in
order that they can prove their inno-
cence of attempts to Undermine the
union and encourage disorder"
About Disaureements..
Both admit that they were not in
accord with policies of the joint board,
but declare they were within their
constitutional rights in opposing those
policies. 1.-THE local of which l was
chairman did resent the efforts of
the officers to cooperate with the en-
ployers in imposing piece work." said
Teen.
More Orderly.
This disagreement was not ex-
pressed in any manner that would ne
gate the provisions Of our constitu-
ton. The local also found itself in
disagreement with the officers of the
joint board on the occasion of settling
stoppages. In this case the local al
so expressed itself in an orderly man
ner in conformity with the constitu-
tional provisions of our organization"
He said that to deny him fair trial
would mean that the officers declare
disagreement with them a crime.
Sugarman Asks For Trial.
Sugarman declared, 81 frankly con-
fess being in disaccord with many of
your basis policies. | maintain that
every member as well as / has the
right to dissent and to criticize the
present trend of our organization I'M
der its president leadership. If it be
a crime to criticize those of our ad-
ministration who make mistakes or
advocate mistaken policies, then l am
guilty of that crime. But of the charg-
es you mention to justify my expul-
sion | am absolutely innocent, and can
prove it." The action he said of sus-
pension and depriving him of his live
lihood is so monstrous and autocratic
that he feels even they would recon-
slider it and rescind their action.
