LABOR DEFENSE
HELPS CANTON
STEEL STRIKERS
Six Face Deportation
Charges

CANTON, Ohio (By MaiD.-
Though but a little more than q
week old the strike of 400 clippers
and 100 grinders of the Central AL.
10y Steel Company of Canton is ex-
periencing some of the brutality
that is usually meted out to work
ers who dare to strike against the
miserable wages and terrible con-
ditions which the employers try to
force upon them.
Fifteen of the strikers. already
face charges ranging from suspi-
cicn to deportation. Thus the mill
owners are trying to intimidate the
strikers and expect to bring them
back to work.
However, when the bosses had
brought about twelve arrests and
the men were charged and released
on bonds the highest of which was
set at $500, they began to think that
something else must be done. AS
one of them said, "these damn
strikers get out of jail just as fast
as we put them in" So they decided
to order higher bond. When three
men were brought to the police sta
ton Friday morning on suspicion"
because a scab said he was afraid
they might beat him up, the judge
ordered them charged and set bail
at $3.50 each. But no sooner had
they been taken down stairs to the
lookup when one of the company
cops appeared in court, had con-
versation with the judge and imme-
diately the bond was raised to
$500.
This, the bosses thought, would
keep them in jail and discourage
the others. But the mill owners for
got to take into consideration the
fact that there is an l. L. D. and
that the l. L. D. functions in smaller
cities like Canton just as we'll as
III the larger cities. The l. L. D. got
on the job and in a few hours the
men were again at liberty and went
straight from Jail to their strike
meeting elated over the fact that an
organization of workers which they
had never heard of before arranged
to sign their bonds, thus allowing
them to get back on the picket lines.

PIONEERS AID
STRIKING COAL
MINERS RELIEF
Worker Children Show
Class Solidarity

LUMBERVILLE, Pa. (By MaiD.
When the news of the severe
crisis that the miners are in at the
present time reached the children in
the Young Pioneer Camp of Phila-
delphia, everyone Immediately be-
gan to think as to what would be
the best way of raising money to
help the miners and to show solidar-
ity with them. Every suggestion
was treated with open arms, but it
was not until one workers child
got up and said, Comrades, why
shouldn't we contribute at least
two deserts, that is all the campers
should miss the deserts from the
two meals and the money that
would have gone to pay for them
should be sent to the miners
As soon as this brief declaration
was finished gigantic applause from
the assembled hundred campers
gathered in the dining room made
clear their assent to the suggestion.
Besides the money contributed from
the desert, the campers also gave
money from their private spending
accounts. Totalling up to twenty
five dollars in all, the solidarity of
the workers children with the min
ers was announced. Some money was
also contributed by adults from
Camp Huliet.
This action is not significant as
aid in the strike, especially in this
crisis, but as an announcement of
the fact that the workers children
are in the class struggle, and in it
to stay.

even jim, an American Negro sol.
der who has mustered up the spirit
to desert, that the best thing to dc
is to go along back home, and be a
good Niger" and "stay in his
place"
The play closes on the note struck
by Israel, at about the time his
nerve leaves him: life is a deep
river, nobody knows where it comes
from or where it goes, and don't you
dare to swim against she current"
The play is almost perfect master
class propaganda, ingenious enough
to recognize the elements of Justice
on the side of the oppressed Ne
groes, and overcoming this evident
argument of the suppressed races by
a final exaltation of the master class
virtues of the Powells and their
kind. 1t is not pro-war play, it
might be called almost a pacifist
preachment. 1t follows closely the
line of thought of the average
Southerner, who was, on returning
to America, quite outspoken in his
regret that he had to fight the Ger
mans instead of the "rotten French
Niggah lovers"
1t is so well presented, and so well
acted that one hesitates to bubble
over minor inaccuracies, such as the
Negroes in the cafe singing Gar
ry Me Back" song ("Back to OLE Vir-
ginia" in this case | think, anyway
one of those pseudo-N Negro iingles
such as no Negro ever INDUCES inn
Some of the finer propaganda points
are of course. the tacit assumption
that a French woman who would
marry Negro with the Crois de
Guerre must be an ignoramus and a
prostitute, the sympathetic treat
ment of the French commandment.

George w. Blakely, a sexton, was

down and killed the sexton.
The eqality of opportunity for
which America is supposed to be
famous actually exists only among
those citizens who occupy the ceme-
teries. And even to attain this
equality members of the working and
capitalist classes make use of
divergent methods. For instance
last week Barney Depoka, who had
been hunting for a job for 20 days
stood in front of a Child's restaur-
ant watching the girl turn flap
jacks. He fell down, at last, starved
to death. On the other hand any
doctor will tell you that the princi-
pal cause of death among the rich
is over-eating.

STAGE PROTEST
ON SYNDICALIST
LAW OFFENSIVE
Police Seize Many at
Sacco-Vanzetti Meet

by Worker Correspondent
KANSAS CITY (By Mail).-The
first attack of the packing house
bosses led by Armour Company
against the packing house workers
has been successfully beaten back.
The Workers (Communist) Party
nucleus in the Armour plant the
following day issued a statement to
the workers of all the packing
houses explaining to them the mean
ing of the attack upon the Com
munist Party and the arrest of
Communist speakers who were adj
dressing a meeting of the Armour
workers. The statement of the
nucleus was enthusiastically greeted.
At the Cudahy plant the bosses
called up the police station, asking
to arrest the distributors of the
leaflets. However, when the two
policemen came they failed to ar
rest and stop the distribution due
to the fact that the workers in spite
of the rain surrounded the distribut-
or asking for the leaflets.
More Persecution.
When Hugo Oehler got out from
prison, on August %, he was invited
to speak at a Sacco-Vanzetti meet
ing by the International Labor De-
Tense. The meeting was held in
Shawnee Park at Aimourdale. The
police surrounded the meeting and
after Oehler was through the police
arrested him and thirteen more per-
sons. Among the arrested were the
secretary of the l. L. D., E. B. East
wood, DR.. Nelson, S. Youkum, Sam
Kassin, Matthew Cushing and half
dozen of packing house workers.
The police also arrested two mothers
with their children and only after
a vehement protest on the ground
that the children were sick did the
police release the mothers. The ar
rested were brought to the city Jail
and placed under $500 bail on the
charge of vagrancy. One of the
mothers who was originally arrested
made the following statement:
II have listened to the speeches
telling the wrong done to Sacco and
Vanzetti. l did not believe all of
it could be true. The raid of the
police at the meeting convinced me
that everything is possible. l never
believed that in democratic America
the police would hold up a public
meeting and rather kidnap than ar
rest so many people"
The police surrounded the meeting
for two-fold purpose:
Police Are Armour Spies.
First it was in line with the pol
icy of the Armour Company to in
timidate and terrorize the workers
and thus keep them from organiza-
ton. Second, the Armour and other
companies are anxious to spot the
members Of the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party nucleus of the packing
houses. Particularly were the police
anxious to discover Armour work
ers. However, they failed miserably.
The workers are as defiant as ever.
The terror of the company failed to
intimidate the workers.
When the Armour Company dis
covered that its campaign fell flat
it began to further conspire against
the workers. Thursday the assistant
county attorney issued warrants for
Hugo Oehler, DIR. Nelson S. Yokun,
E. B. Eastwood and Sam Kassin
under the Kansas State Syndicalist
Law. They were released on $500
bond each.

Between the chest and the abdo- men lies a great muscular structure called the diaphragm. Above the diaphragm arc the heart and lungs: below ii. the stomach intes1incs. liver. pancrcas. spleen and other organs.
 When one brcathcs the dia- phragnl contracts. cnlarging the chest cavity and helping the lungs clc tissue to contract. q stimulus comes to it through nerve. The nerve that controls the contrac- tions of the diaphragm passes from the upper part Of the spinal cord in the region Of the neck
 If this nerve is irritated at any spot it becomes stimulated and the stimulation causes Q sudden spasmodic contraction of the dia- phragm that is called d hiccough.
 Many causes arc known for hiccoughs, including oNcreating. Inc swallowing of air " whic1 dis tends tho stomach. JliccoughS re- suting from such causes are of no serious significance.
 The cure consist usually of con- trolling the dict or taking a swaI- low of water N hich will wash ont food material lying in the tube that leads to the stomach In the case of g baby, it may be held on the shoulder and pattcd on the back, which will cause it to cN- pol the air which may be distcnd- ing it's stomach or csophagus and thus leading to hiccoughs.
 In some cases the stimulation Of the nerve results from poisons as- sociat"d with infections such as infantile paralysis or epidemic en- ccphalitis. The latter condition has been called American sleeping sickness.
 In these cases the hicconghs may bc severe and go on for long periods of time, indeed actually to the point of exhaustion. The treat m"nt of such conditions is q long and serious matter and it is only by the treatment of the fundamcn- tal condition that the hiccoughs are to be controlled
