Miners Maintain Fight
Against New Slavery

of the Cresson local union of miners
says all his people will fight through
to the end for union conditions.

Hamilton said. "That gave me, with

Some families here got less. We are
also getting some help from the

our people are hungry and our chill

dition of 40 years ago when we work
ed IA hours a day in water and dirt
like slaves. There are a few scabs
from other states. The picket line is
hampered by the injunction, you
know"
Hamilton explained that the mine
is mile inside the company proper
ty and outside no picket is allowed to
walk back and forth so that his only
chance is to stand while the strike
breakers go by No back talk from
pickets is allowed. The state con-
stabulary and the deputy sheriffs are
on the company side, he said.
eff we could get more flour and
potatoes we might get by. We are
forgetting what sugar, vegetables
butter and coffee taste like. Please
tell the trade unionists in Chicago anC
elsewhere to send us shoes and ole
clothing"
At Portage the mines are near the
highway which makes it easier for The
pickets. Many stores in Portage arr
closed, some of them bankrupt in tn,
long struggle, says Mildred Savukas
a bookkeeper in one of them.
Mildred's mother complained of tn
strike policy of the union. "Whel

Illinois unionists are working. That

Shop Takes Over Agency of Four
Cylinder Tractor.

A Wallis tractor was received last
week by Louis Smith of the Plenty

of the opinion that a four-cylinder
tractor of this type was the machine
for this country and that he had tax
en- over the agency with the knowledge
that he could supply the tractor farm
ers with machine the equal if not
better than most of those now on the
market in its class.
He also said that he would vel.
come prospective buyers who wished
to look over the Wallis and that nc
tractor buyer should purchase a ma

Wallis the once over and study its
strong construction.
