Whereas, SaIa Bonita, militant
leader Of the Pittston Mine Workers
has bee, sentenced to serve from six
to twelve years at hard labor in the
penitentialy as tie result of the
vicious flame-up because he fought
against the conspiracy Of the coal
operators, contractors, and corrupt
union officials, and
Whereas, the National Bonita
Moleski-Mendola Defense Committee
has conducted vigorous campaign
to liberate Bonita by taking an appeal
from this vicious decision of a pre-
JUDGED Judge. In this work the COM
mittee has been blocked by the local
lawyers who are opposed to the or
ganization of the proper defense. Only
by mass pressure of the miners and
the rest of the labor movement can
they be freed. The committee is also
aware that some of the so-called
friends of Bonita thru their activity
are weakening the work for the I'M
conditional release of Bonita. Moleski

strata, being devoted to the rsve.fy
of a party of idlers who are spending
several days at an English country
house.
Miss Murke gives a delightful per-
Torrance as a married woman, who
bored by the idleness Of her set, flirts
with the Beau Brummell of the party.
Unluckily for all concerned, burglar
breaks into the house when Miss
Burke, and the society sheik, por-
trayed admirably by A. E. Matthews,
are alone in an unused bedroom while
her husband and the other male mem
bers of the party are playing pool
The thief enters the room where
the married woman and the man are,
THE wife happens to be in her night
gown and creates enough noise
which sets the rest of the visitors to
the, country house on the run in the
direction of the bedroom. After a
great deal of complications that are
splendidly put over, everything turns
out for the best in the end. While
the husband has his suspicious, he
never finds out that his wife has been
so indiscreet as to be in a bedroom
with another man!
II the first act would be cut or re-
written, the play would be vastly i'm
proved. As things now stand, future
audiences can miss the first act and
enjoy the play more than otherwise.

We succeeded in organizing relief

Egan, seeing the growth of miners
relief organizations throughout the
state and realizing that all his lies
and ISLANDERS do not prevent the
growth of these organizations and at
the same time being determined to
smash them, decided to use more
drastic measures. Egan did not hest

facts. In Waterbury the relief COM

BY JOHN STEUBEN.

There are still thousands of honest
workers in this country who do not
as yet realize the role of the official
dom Of the American Federation OF
Labor in the present miners strike.
For this reason it is necessary to
expose the treacherous activities OF
the A. F. of L. in the state of Con-
necticut, which marks another black
page in the history of the American
Misleaders of Labor
In this state there are thousands
|of ammunition, textile and metal
workers. The great majority of these
workers are unorganized, work long
hours under miserable conditions;
wage cuts are the rule and no at
tempt whatever is made on the part
of the A. F. Of l.. to organize these
workers who are at present at the
mercy Of the American Brass Co., the
Sergeant, the Winchester, etc.
Interested In Miners.
In spite of the unemployment, wage
cuts and general depression there is
a deep interest among the workers
toward the miners strike. The work
ers realize the significance of this
struggle and therefore are ready to
help the miners.
The workers of Connecticut looked
for a movement to help the miners.
Many months passed and the State
Federation Of Labor, in accordance
with the general policy of the A. F.
of L., did not start any campaign
for miners relief. 1t was only after
the rank and file of the miners or
ganized the Penn-Ohio Relief Com
mittee that movement for miners
relief began in the state.
Open Sabotage.
This work has been sabotaged from
the very beginning, yet call for a
miners relief conference brought out
many local unions, among them the
machipists, typographical, and others
in addition to fraternal organizations
The union men Of New Haven were
anxious to have first hand informa-
ton as to the actual situation in the
coal fields. Jerome Davis, professor
of Yale University, who is at the
same time the educational director OF
the New Haven Trades Council, in
vited Powers Hapgood to speak on
the miners struggle. After Hapgooc
came and outlined the situation in the
coal fields before an audience OF
union men, he pointed out the rolt
of John l.. Lewis in the miners strug-
gle, many workers demanded the
floor but John Murphy, the president
of the New Haven Trades Council, re-
fused these workers the floor and de-
clared the meeting over After the
meeting John Murphy felt that he
would have a hard time fighting the
movement for miners relief among
the trade unionists. He Immediately

to entertain the audience. Special
mention must be made of Walter
Connolly, who, in the part of a jealous
husband, keeps the play moving at
fast rate. He is a first class enter

Lawrence Grossmith, George Thorpe,
