or postponed to September. The
women, according to expert medical
testimony, are slowly dying from
radium poison contracted when en-
ployed by the corporation.
Thirteen women have already died
from the dreaded disease and it is
believed that all or some of the five
will die before September.
The attorney for the radium COM
pany, Edward A. Markley, maintains
that the statute of limitations bars
them from suing. 1t was only after
working for the company several
years that the disease was diagnosed
as radium poisoning. The five young
women were employed to paint lumi-
nous letters on watch dials, using
radium paint They were instructed
to wet the brush they used with their
mouth and thus contracted the dis
ease.

Reading Gets
Record" for
Child Labor

beading, Pa, May l5.-Reading,
- whose municipal government is
lodged in the hands of socialists,
holds the premier child slave record
in the keystone state. Half of Read
ing's children between the ages of
Ia and 16 work in mills and shops.
The socialist cooperative common
wealth has edged out Allentown,
its neighbor, for first place in child
exploitation. In the latter city
"only" 40 per cent of the children
are wage slaves. They average
$3.50 week. Most of them toll in
the textile mills, helping low-wage
fathers and mothers to exc out a
miserable existence.
Recently the Reading socialist
city fathers experienced slight en-
barrassment by strike of carpen-
tiers engaged in construction of a
new school building. A vigorous
fight on the part of the workers
won them a speedy victory from the
municipal authorities.

treacherous Lewis-Cappelini gang,
the equally treacherous machine of the
-McGarry forces at a final
meeting of the General Body organ
lied to GUST the officials Of the Cap
pelinf machine, voted to unseat mem

miners and carried through other
measures which proved them to be
carrying out the policies of the arch
traitor, Lewis.
The Brennan forces in control of
the meeting became enraged over the
fact that the Save-the- Union Com
mittee exposed them by getting hold
of letter which they were trying to
force Sam Bonita to sign. They were
also very much wrought up when a
letter from John L. Lewis was read
which told the members of District
l that no special district convention
would be allowed.
When a motion was made by
Save-the-U Union delegate that the
letter be exposed in the form of
letter to the local unions of District
/, the Brennan forces were all up in
the air and did not know what to do
next. Several speakers got up to at
tack Lewis and his letter. After
mobilizing their forces the chairman
ruled the motion out of order; then
Frank McGarry, the so-called leader
of Pittston, got up highly mcensed
and read an article in The DAILY
WORKER in which he was exposed
as a faker with Brennan and Harris
who are not really interested in the
miners, but merely after jobs.
After reading the article, motion
was made to exclude and unseat dele
gate George Papcun from Local
Union 1917 and Frank Vrataric of
Local Union 1916. A hot debate fol-
lowed the motion which was carried
thru the steam roller tactics of the
Brennan machine.
Many miners took the floor and
protested at what they called the

second time that delegate Papcun has
been unseated. At the meeting in
Scranton a week ago Saturday the
same thing was done.
It is becoming evident also that
Frank McGarry is using the Bonita
issue for his own selfish interests and
is also actually helping keep Bonita

These were the words of Tom

The frame-up of Mooney and Billings

mittedly the only remedy for the in
creasing unemployment, it was only
in the sense of endorsing it in prin-
ciple only. That no steps for its at
tainment are even contemplated was
evident from Hillman's declaration
that the New York delegation should
go home from the convention and seek
success in their coming negotiations
with the bosses by obtaining the Gun
employment and insurance" schemes.
The line laid down in Hillman's
keynote" speech will in all probable
ity be closely followed in the seven
more days discussion. The success
full policy of cooperation with the
bosses will be followed up BY the new
policy of loaning money to the en-
ployers to tide them over a pinch.
Hillman declared.
The recounting of great achieve
ments by the union was made by Hill
man despite the bitter unemployment
in New York, the growing open-shop
drive against the stagnant Joint
Board in Milwaukee, the almost COM
plete open-shop condition of the big
Philadelphia market, and the virtual
company-union condition of the or
ganization in Cincinnati, which de-

differences between the Sigman and
Schlesinger-Breslau gangs.
The referendum resolution, offered
by Schlesinger in the hope of thus de-
feating Sigman for the presidency
was badly defeated by the Sigman
forces after nine hours of wrangling
on the convention floor. The vote
was 1874 to Sc.
Conferences are still going on, how
ever, in the hopes of smoothing out
the squabble for control of the In
ternational. Sigman in the negotia-
tions, it was learned, refused to give
to Schlesinger any of the strategic
positions in the administration of the
International. Schlesinger on the
other hand has as yet refused to ac-
cept mere membership in the general

In the 8 hour discussion it was

COAL BOSS JUDGE
JAILS 4 MINERS
Especial to The Daily Worker

Especial to The Daily Worker
CADIZ, Ohio, May IL (By MaiD.-
Two miners and two sympathizers
yesterday began serving twenty-day
jail sentences here for violations of
injunctions issued by the notorious
Judge Benson w. Hough who has been
seeking through evictions and other
means to break down the morale of
the strikers. One of those sentenced
is woman.
Andy Blahovec, Tony Cicagna, Mary
Pospisil and Joe Horsky, the four SEN
fenced workers, were arrested at Dill
'lonvale while picketing the Dillon No.
1 mine on March 10.
When they were brought into court
on May 9Th before Judge Hough who
issued the injunction which they were
charged with violating, the mere fact
that they were Save-the-U Union adher-
ents was enough to send them to jail
for period of twenty days although
no violence had been proved against
them. Mrs. Pospisil, however, had
bitten the finger Of guard.
Joe Horsky, railroader, was not
even with the pickets at the time when
they were arrested, having been pick
ed up later, was nevertheless remand
ed to Jail.
The International Labor Defense
defended the victims and althougl
their defense was equally as we'll pre-
pared as that Of number of Lewis
supporters who came before the same
judge that day, still these people were
sent to prison while the Lewis mer
cot off with suspended sentences.
At mass meeting held on May
18th, the day before they went to
prison which was addressed by John
Watt of the Save-the- Union Commit
tee and Carl Hacker of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, the workers
voiced their protest against this per-
secution and 1876 of them joined the
international Labor Defense.

The First Lutheran Ladies Aid had
a very successful meeting on Friday
OF last week. The attendance was
good and the ladies took in $2.25.
After the service Sunday morning
in Lone Tree we enjoyed the hospi-
tally of Mr.. and Mrs. Ole Hellegaard.
Both at Lone Tree and the Pleasant
Valley congregations, the attendance
was excellent Sunday. 1t cheers our
hearts to e our people take interest
in the things of God. Let us always
remember to place God first. Jesus
says: "But seek we first the Kingdom
of God and HIS righteousness; and
all these things shall be added unto
you" (Math. $685.
There are many questions that
come to the human mind. Some of
these cannot be answered; but to
some we may receive a satisfactory
answer. The greatest of all questions
is, after all, what shall / do to be
saved?" The word of God says: Be-
lieve in the Lord Jesus Christ and
thou shall be saved" "He that believ-
eth and IS baptized shall be saved"
In the Gospel for last Sunday,
Christ put the questions to the Phar-
isees: what think We of Christi" No
n can get by Him. Either He viii
be our Savior or else He will be our
Judge" He says: "The words that /
have spoken the same shall Judge you
on that day." But it is great to know:
There is therefore now no condem-
nation to them who are In Christ Je-
sus, who walk not after the flesh, but
after the Spirit"
We may live in the Christian liber-
ty, and enjoy Christ's blessings now
and forever.
May the Lord bless us ALTO that
end.
