Sentiment.

i
hundred thousand miners strike to-
dav.
Reused ty the recent great Save
the -Unior Conference, one hundred
thousand exploited slaves of the coal
harons in Fayette, Westmoreland,
Somerset and Greene counties will to-
day give the momentous signal which
will stir twenty millions of other un-
organized, similarly exploited slaves
in American industries to revolt.
Three hundred thousand coal dig
gers in Pennsylvania, in Ohio, in Hi
ncis, in other sections, already in the
struggle amidst the most extreme
suffering and sacrifices for over
year have raised their voices so that
these cne hundred thousand in the
west Perm mines may hear and re-
spond to the common need and against
the common enemy.
Lay Down Your TooIs!
"Lay down your tools and join our
strike today" is the cry of these
union strikers in the bituminous fields
to the unorganized miners in Fayette,
Greene, Somerset and Westmoreland
counties. "Organize and join our
union! Together we can win the
strike!"
Swear to Come Out.
Thousands of unorganized miners
who have found their way into the
mines in the union fields of Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio have also promised
the pickets that they will join the
strike. But not under Lewis. is re-,
iterated everywhere. The pickets re-
ply that under the leadership of the
"Save-the- Union" Committee of the
union, the present leadership will be
ousted and the rank and file will again
take control and rebuild the union
into the most powerful labor organi-
cation in the country.

STRIKE DEMAND
vERWHELMING
IN ALL LOCALS
Rank and File Shouts
Forced Ballot Count

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, April Is.
Thirty thousand textile workers
will walk ont tomorrow morning in a
fight for the restoration of the 10
per cent wage cut, which was to have
been put into effect Monday by the
81 mills of the New Bedford Cotton
Manufacturers Association.
Rank and File for Strike.
The New Bedford Textile Council
leadership have been in almost con-
tinuous session since Saturday night,
formulating plans for the erection of
q strike machinery. Their attempt TO
halt the strike by offering to delay
counting the strike vote returns if the
mill owners would postpone the wage
cut for week having been defeated
by the memberships demand for an
immediate count. Every local union
voted overwhelming majorities for a
strike.
The Textile Min Committees, an
organization of progressive workers,
with units in every mill, whose aim
is to organize the textile industry
100 per cent. are energeticaIly mo-
bilizing the unorganized workers to
join the union men in their fight
against the wage cut. The unions are
composed mainly of the skilled work.
ers.
Distribute Strike Call.
A large number of volunteers, MEM
bers of the Young Workers (Commun-
ist) League, have arrived in New
Bedford from Boston to assist the
Textile Mill Committees in rallying
the workers for the strife. Tens Of
thousands Of leaflets, containing the
strike call Of the Mill Committees,
were distributed by them in front Of
the mill gates of all the plants.
Mill Committees Aid.
In statement issued recently, the
Textile Mil Committees announced
their intention Of supporting the union
leadership in the conduct Of the strike,
but declared that should the Textils
Council officials attempt last min
ute postponoment, they would brand
such action as a betrayal, and imme-
diately assume leadership in the
struggle. They also demanded the
organization of large general strike
committee where the unorganized
workers will be amply represented.
A detailed account of how the union
membership forced the publication Of
the strike vote became known yester-
day.
When the offer Of the manufactur.
ers to postpone the wage cut for one
week If the union officials agreed to
postpone the strike vote, was met by
the offer of the council officials to
keep the vote results secret, since it
was considered too late to stop the
vote, the enraged membership at
cnce demanded that a public count be
taken.
Force Officials Action.
The sentiment ran so high that the
union officials were compelled to give
in to this demand, and the Textile
Council delegates were called to
meeing to count the votes. The de-
mand of the union members that the
meeting take place in large hall
was also conceded. Thousands of
members attended the meeting. Sew
eral officials led by Samuel Ross, head
of the Mule Spinners' local, demanded

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Brice BeIden-

YOU, if an Industrial worker,
\ Il may find yourself unsuspect-
ingly confronted by new dangers
incident to new Developments In
manufacture.
Thus one of the newer products
is quick drying paint, in the
manufacture of which benZol is
extensively employed as it is in
+. the manufacture of rubber, arti-
fetal leather, dry cleaning.
In all these processes the benzol
is usually removed finally by nat
ural evaporation. In the process
of evaporation dangerous quanti-
ties may be inhaled. Acute ben
ZoI poisoning occurs in industries
where benzol is prepared from
coal tar, or else where it Is
being used in a concentrated
form, as in blending motor oils or
extracting chemicals. The man
doing the greatest amount of ex-
ercise succumbs most quickly, as
in all inhalation poisonings. for
he breathes deeply and so takes
in more poison.
Benzol is a narcotic and nerve
ness, excitation, paleness, and
later flu shing, weakness, head
ache. breathelessness tightness in
the chest. tremor. weakness in the
extremities, rapid pulse. and
finally Inconsistencies and cob
lapse.
The acute symptoms are readily
recognized. but : in chronic cases
they are difficult and may escape
notice. Young girls and pregnant
women are more susceptible than
others. The British Committee on
Benzol Poisoning consider that
even 100 parts per million consti-
tute a danger. The chronically
poisoned patient usually has nose
bleeding and looks pale. lie loses
his appetite. his weight and has
headache with dizziness.
Xylol, tolual and hiflash naph-
tina are powerful narcotics, but
they smell so strongly that they
could never be concentrated
enough in the air to cause trouble.
Unlike benzol. they do not destroy
nerve tissue or act on the blood
forming centers.
Recently. according to F. 3.
Finn, seven deaths have occur
red in Connecticut that offer An
entirely new industrial hazard.
The workers were painting diais
with aluminous material. Sew.
eral years after they left their
employment they found trouble
i'm their jaws. This spread in
spite of treatment and was
attributed to radium. because
radioactive material was present
in the luminous paint. There
was no special concentration OF
the radiun in the jaw hone, but
the girls used TO suck then
brushes and so ingested a certain
amount of the material. and 1t
NAV be that bits got lodged be-
tween the teeth.
