GLOUSTER, Ohio. (By Mail. )-Orl
Daugherty, president of the Hooking
Valley sub-district of the United Mine
Workers, has come out openly in adj
vising the men under his jurisdiction
to abandon their strike. He did this
at a mass meeting here recently.
"The miners have but three courses
open to them," Daugherty said. Ell
Their you must seek work elsewhere or
go back to the mines on the terms of
the operators. The only other course
left open is to stay here and starve.
The Union can do nothing more for
you"
This is not the first intimation the
Hooking Valley miners have had of
Daugherty's strikebreaking activities.
Only few months ago he came out
openly for an individual settlement in
the Kicking Valley on the best terms
the men could get, in other words for
a complete abandonment Of the strike
and a settlement on the terms of the
operators. Daugherty has been able
to get away with this up till now by
posing as progressive" by leading
the men in mass picketing and by
claiming to fight for more relief for
the men. This last act of betrayal
and brazen strikebreaking has, how
ever, opened the eyes of the men.
Already a petition has been pre-
pared asking the International board
and Lewis to remove Daugherty as
sub-district president, and signatures
are being secured The Hooking Val
ley miners must wake up and realize
that the International Board, Lewis
and Daugherty are all tarred with the
same brush and that the strikebreak-
ing, union-busting policies of Lewis
and the machine are no better than
those Of Daugherty. A petition to
Lewis is no way to stop such strike
breaking. 1t can only be done by the
rank and file membership taking con-
troll of the union and kicking out the
misleaders from Lewis down.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, (By MaiD.-
Following a huge mass meeting held
in Reservoir Park on Sunday, the
miners in Springfield under the
leadership of the Save-the- Union
Committee went out to picket the Old
West Mine. The mass meeting was
called to listen to the reports of the
delegates who went to Pittsburgh and
the plans Of the Save-the- Union Com
mittee for the work in Illinois.
All efforts are now directed to-
wards putting into effect hundred
per cent strike in Illinois. Today
there are a few mines working thru
out the state. Everywhere these
mines are picketed by the Save-the-
Union miners. The picketing is sue
cessful despite the efforts Of the
operators and the officials combined.
Picket Old West Mine.
In Springfield, on Monday over two
hundred miners picketed the Old
West Mine, one of the four Panther
Creek mines working. The pickets
were met by the officials of the sub
district who stood there telling the
miners at work to continue working
and not to listen to the picketers.
These leaders of the union came out
openly as strikebreakers and break
ers of the union. Only a part of the
miners went back to work. These are
expected to come out before the end
of the week.
On Tuesday morning picketing was
resumed. An even greater number
Of pickets turned out. This time thew

MUST ORGANIZE
NEGRO WOMEN TO
STOP SCABBINC
Thousands in Many
Trades Want Union

By a Woman Worker Correspondent
Negro women in the past have
been almost entirely confined to do
nestle work. 1t is comparatively in
very recent years that the Negro WOO
man has come into industry. The
trades in which she is now chiefly
confined are those that have branch
ed off from the home, the needle
trades, hotels and restaurants, laun-
dries, and as car and office cleaners,
etc. There are few in the basic in
dustries, except in some of the south
ern textile mills.
Lamp Shade Slaves.
In Chicago Negro women work in
many Of the novelty industries; for
instance, in the silk lamp shade trade.
Thousands and thousands in Chicago
learned this "fly by night" work. Not
only did they toll in the factories
every day, but they were allowed to
carry lamp shades home at night.
Children in the homes wrapped the
frames for their mothers and older
sisters to cover with silk cloth. The
whole family learned the trade, and
as soon as each girl was old enough,
she followed her mother or sister
into the factory.
Flower Trade.
l mention this case because it is
one of the most outstanding, but it
is similar to many trades in which
Negro women are found; such trades
as the making of artificial flowers,
party favors, children's toys, decora-
tive stationery, valentines and ten
cent store trinkets.
In the past, Negro men, in order
to force their way into industry, were
often compelled to scab and Negro
women should not be reduced to such
a choice. When given an opportunity
to act as group and to demonstrate
their solidarity against the employ
ers, they have done so.
In New York, the unorganized Me-
grow laundresses walked out 100 per
cent in sympathy with the striking
drivers. In Chicago, Negro date
workers put up militant fight for
better conditions without guidance
from the trade unions.
If the organized labor movement
would turn its attention to the Negro
working women, there is no question
but that it would find eager and
valuable allies.

Such outbursts of indignation as
"let's carry banners like the Coxey's

all over the city these days. And the
protests are directed against the
state railroad commission and the
Pacific Electric Ry.

Said Commission has changed
zones and fares on the so-called red
car lines. Numerous improvement or
CARNATIONS, ETC., some of them with
membership of $4,000 are up in
arms. Efforts are being made, in
certain quarters, to prove that the
new rate is revision downward. But
there seems to be wide belief that
the change is upward one in the
case of the majority of the company s
patrons, and downward only in few
zones.

Wells of approval and storming APP
p!ause met these demands at a
meeting held last night at the Logan
Street school, under the auspices of
ten Improvement associations of the
northwest district. Speakers reused
the enthusiasm of the audience in the
auditorium filled to Overlooking.
Several speakers demanded the lit
neys back in competition with the P.

favor of municipal ownership. A. J.
Samis, president Elysian Heights I'M

that when the railroad commission
estimates the profits of the Pacific
Electric it does not consider the enor-
nous increase in the value of its ZEAL

operations.
