Heinie Mitchell, the editor of the Bemidji Pr
oneer, recently turned issue of his paper to
the club women of his city. The women solicited
the advertising, gathered the news wrote and edit
ed it and got out a wonderfully creditable paper.
Incidentally Heinie and all the other editor boys
chucklng in their cuffs about of the things
these editors or-a-day discovered. Here is what
the women claimed they learned:
Never again will call in at 80 to
ask city editor to put club notice on the
front page. Never again will we call up
to complain because our name was omitted
from program published the previous day.
Nor will We again ask the editor to write up
an article from a few scratchy pencil notes.
In this brief time we have had our trials,
knocks and complaints. We have seen a
bit of the hundred and one factors, the
thousand and one individuals that a news
paper must endeavor to please. We real
ize this is all just part of the daily routine
of the newspaper man. And next Mon
day morning we will return to our own
tasks and professions with profound res
pect for the people who in the organ
lied business of presenting the news to the
public"
In view of the above, it might pay every editor
in the state to let the edit one edition of the
old home paper. 1t would be a real educational
work-also q missionary work!

To defend the miners insurance. Revolutionary
trade unions at this meeting stated clearly that the
institute of miners insurance must be re-establlshed
wholly at the expense of the government and the
coaowners
The executive of the O. B. U. drew up a project Of
revving the Institute Of Miners Insurance. The
following demands were made u That indepen-
~dence of miners insurance be maintained until gen
eral social insurance is improved to such extent
as to guarantee the miners the same amount Oh re-
lief permitted by independent miners insurance. y
That the existing rules and amount OF reet be pre-
served also for miners at work; - mat miners
insurance be improved at expense of the employers
and the state.
These demands met with wide sympathy among
the masses. The miners understand that the pro-
nosals of the o. B. u. are fully justified as the
mneowners have shown in their yearly balance
sheets tremendous profits. At the same time the
government improved its financial situation at the
expense of the mining industry by the increased
amount of taxes on coal The coal tax received
by the government during 1920 was Sio'4oo'o94
Czech crowns; 1921 1909 GAG Czech crowns;
1922 was 1.51OI411S7 Czech crowns; 1928 was 1884,
9256O5 Czech crowns; 1924 was 329,877,19l Czech
crowns; 1926 was 315,228,160 Czech crowns; 1926
was 24S924, 200 Czech crowns.
Only under pressure of the masses were the re-
formists forced to side up with this movement and
obviously with the intention of betraying it at the
first convenient moment.
Revolutionary trade unions and the Communist
PARTY of Czecho-Slovaka demand that congress
of mine committees be called to ascertain the feeling
and militancy among the masses and to work out
a program of action for the co-ordinated struggle
of the miners not only to preserve miners insur-
ance but to increase wages also.
The reformists are again evading the issue. They
are endeavoring to 'head the movement only to be-
head it later" This is old and well tried policy
of the reformists. However, the militant spirit OF
the miners forced the reformists to temporarily dis
card their usual tactics and they duly announced a
one day strike of protest for the Gath of Marcn
This 24-hour strike completely successful
More than 100000 miners participated.
