BRITISH FAKERS MAKE
WELSH MINERS STARVE

gray two-story stone houses, barren
of shrubbery or other ornament.
Around the hills are shacks of the
most depressing sort, veritable holes
not fit for wild animals. But these
are the homes of the Welsh miners
and their unfortunate families.
Utter Pauperism.
So poverty stricken are the min
ers that both the saloons and
churches have closed down-beer
and God are both too much of a
luxury. But what depth of pauper-
ism has been reached can be under
stood when it is seen that even the
most of the grocery stores, clothing
shops and every kind of store also,
are locked up permanently.
In the houses are so little furni-
ture that one marvels how families
can keep up the appearance of
housekeeping. Thousands have no
beds and sleep under old rags on
the floor. Gas and electricity are
too expensive for the workers who
dig Britain's coal, so night is a
weary scene of few candles flick
ering in the gloom.
Rags and Apathy.
No one met has clothing that can
be classified as anything but rags.
The great majority have not had
a new pair of shoes or a new piece
of clothing in two years.
But more CHASTITY is it to see the
apathy and resignation to beggary
by young and old, a moral decay
settling like a pail over a popula-
ton already dead but walking about
pending internment. Growing chill
dren are stunted and pale. Insan-
ity is growing.
Not the End of the Story.
British capitalists gloat over their
work. The Trade Union Congress,
which spends much time worrying
about the sickness of empire trade,
has no time for the Welsh miners.

LONDON, Dec. 30.-While mon
arcnist and capitalist newspapers
are yapping over the left lung of the
king, 100000 coal miners and their
families are slowly starving to death
in the Welsh coal fields. And the
fault of this lies directly at the door
OF the general council of the trade
union congress, which betrayed the
miners strike in 1926 and have gone
over to the employers Mond-plan of
class collaboration.
The Rhonnda Valley is an area de-
vastated by British capitalists in the
class war they waged against the
miners with the assistance of the
Thomases, MacDonald's, Hickses and
Purcells Of the trade union congress.
The valley is full of emaciated,
blocdless beings walking about in
rags.
SIPS a Week.
All miner can get by working
like a slave in the coal pits, is 20
shillings, or about S7.25 a week.
From this, families of five and more
must live. This wage is for three
days work a week as there is no
more than three days to be had. So
for the most it means diet of
bread, oleomargerine and weak tea,
with thin soup once a week, and
nothing at all for a day or two each
week for hundreds of thousands.
Through the natural beauty of
the Welsh hills runs the Rhonnda
Valley, and through the Rhonnda
Valley run dingy narrow streets,
winding mile after mile between dull

The first course in the newly adopted
Latin alphabet which scraps the old
complicated Arab characters has been
inaugurated at Dolma Bagtche Palace
for Deputies cabinet ministers and the
Presidents staff. who sit for hours on
hard chairs like model schoolboys, while
the Ghazi demonstrates the new alpha

CKemals party-sole political organiza-
ton in republican Turkey has mapped
out a program for demonstrating the
new letters in movies, theaters and
even in coffee houses and cabarets.
Within two years the use of Arab
letters will be taboo in the new Turkey
and the national museums already are
beginning to collect examples of the
old calligraphy to preserve for the
generations TO come.
The optimistic KemalistS believe that
iliteracy will be conquered in Turkey,
thanks to the simplified alphabet. 1t

responsible for the fact that 80 per
cent of the Turks today are illiterate
1t also is argued that the change will
help make Turkey nation of readers,
as, in order to learn the new alphabet,
one will have to read. At present, be-
cause of the difficulty of reading the
Arabic letters, only small percentage
of the million and half literate Turks
are readers.

AGE OF JACK QUINN
NOT IMPORTANT

Jack Quinn, who admits that
he will be As years of age just
after the Fourth Of July double
header, must have laughed in his
sleeved if he heard remark by
a baseball expert" at the train
ing camp of the Athletics. A
group of visiting firemen, at
Fort Myers to look over the Ath-
letics and guess at their pros
poets for 1928, sat on bench en-
joying a beaming Florida sun and
speculated about pitchers and
such.
and there's Old Jack Quinn, :"
said one, after naming Grove, Wal
berg, Rommel, Elmke, Orwell and
Powers. Hes pretty spry for an
old man. He'll finish lot of
games and save some Of them
maybe"
The prediction was made with
out consulting Quinn, whose name
is Picus, although his name does
not make any more difference
than his age the way he is act
ing in his declining years. "Old
Jack" has been one of Connie
Mack's real pitching stars. He
went the whole way to win 10
inning game from Washington, his
fifth Of the season against one
defeat. The old man broke up
the game with single when the
bases were OPPORTUNITY filled.
Jack was breaking into the
American league with the New
York Yankees in 1909 when Gro
yer Cleveland Alexander was play
ing his first professional game
with Galesburg in the Illinois
Missouri league. Jack had start
ed six years before at Connells-
vile in the Pennsylvania State
league and worked his way up
with stops at Macon. Ca, and
Richmond. Va. Since then he has
served two terms with the Yam
KEGS, and thrown for the White
Sox. Red Sox and Athletics. In
his IA years in the majors he
has won 1877 games and lost 125.
