tered into the union, they allowed the
opportune moment to pass and al
lowed the PETERBOROUGH to organize
its strikebreakers and demoralize the
ranks of the organized traction work
ers by discharges, by employing
strikebreakers and by intimidation.
Coleman and company have been lull-
ing the workers into inactivity by
postponing and postponing action UNI
til the opportune moment had passed.
These officials, Coleman, Shea, Ma
hon and the higher officials, Matthew
Woll, Green and company, were never
in favor of strike, but thought that
by cowardly subservience to the fake
promises of Jimmie Walker and by
licking the boots of the company they
would be able to get recognition of
the union. They could not organize
the traction workers because they are
in league with Tammany Hall.
"A union can be formed on the
traction lines only by struggle, by a
fight to the finish against the COM
pany union and Hedley and Quack-
enbush, by understanding that the
capitalist politicians of both Tam
many Hall and the republican party
that rule this city are part and par
eel of the traction ring, by building
up leadership in your union that
understands these things and is will
ing to fight against these powers for
the organization of the traction
workers. There is but one thing to
be done now. The situation of the
men is unbearable. The company will
utilize its victory to impose speed-up
methods and new expressions. 1t will
not grant wage increases. Even
though it is able to carry through its
fare steal, it will not give wage in
creases to the workers and what it
may give as maneuver to justify
the fare increase it will take away
doubly once the situation has passed.
What Must Be Done.
The organization of Rank and
File Shop and Barn Committees, Sc
cretly or openly, as occasion de-
mands, in all the terminals and shops;
the establishment of groups to secure
the leadership of the union; the build
ing up of an organization inside your
union that will fight against the COM
pany union within and the traction
company without; the pushing for
ward of leaders that are willing to
fight against Coleman and Shea, jim
ME Walker and Smith, and against
Hedley and Quackenbush, can be
done and must be done if the traction
workers are to be organized and Sc
cure decent standards of living.
"No traction workers who wishes
to change the miserable lot of the
men can shirk this task. The men
will struggle if they see militancy,
courageous leadership and unhesitat-
ing moves for organization. They
cannot be kept down forever under
the heavyweight of the yellow-dog
contract Of the enslaving traction
trust. The men will fight if they see
leaders. 1t is up to the traction work
ers themselves to take control of
their union, GUST Coleman and COM
pany and build up powerful organ
ization that will establish proper con-
ditions for the traction workers of
this CITY,"

MEETING OF CLOAK
WORKERS TONIGHT

The cloak and dress makers in the
markets are expressing great inter
est in the coming convention of the
International Ladies Garment Work
ers Union to be held soon in Boston.
A large attendance is expected, ac-
cording to indications, at the mass
meeting to be held tonight in Cooper
Union at z o'clock. At this meeting
the leaders of the Joint Board will
set forth the policy of the left wing
towards the international convention.
The developing grouping in the
right wing locals, caused by the
growing disintegration in the fake
unions established by Morris Sigman
International president, are expected
to form single front against the
demand Of the workers that the union
be unified. The Joint Board will
analyze this situation and present
plans at the meeting tonight for the
approval of the workers.

BY this time King Eagle had lost all

Plunger drop a fish by threatening him
He tried Il now. He shot down, scream
ing; Drop It'll Drop iti''
Poor plunger wanted to drop It, Never
had he wanted anything more than he
did to drop that fish. He half turned
to look up at King Eagle and the latter
saw his chance. He struck and struck
hard with those great claws of his. He
sank them into that fish. And then
King Eagle had the surprise of his life.
Despite the Tapping of his great wings,
I he could lift that fish only little way,
How he did flap and beat his great
wingsl You see. he was lifting not only
the fish. but he was lifting Plunger.
too. Plunger was beating his great
wings also and King Eagles temper was
terrible to see. You see. he didn't yet
understand what had happened. He
thought that Plunger the Osprey was
clinging to that fish purposely and try
ing to take 1t away from him. King
Eagle screamed at him Plunger then
screamed back But Plunger'S scream
was of fright and not of anger.
Meanwhile. Mrs. Eagle had come over
TO see what the trouble was all about,
and was flying about Just overhead, also
screaming and watching for chance
to strike. She. too, thought that Plum
ger was clinging to that fish purposely,
and when she. saw good chance, she
struck him hard.
Now 1t happened that she struck
Plunger in just the right place, not to
injure him, yet to tear his grasp of
the fish loose. He fell into the water,
tapped his wings frantically, found
himself free. and beat his way up into
the air. Straight over to his favorite
perch he few. and there he sat for a
long, long time, resting. for he was thor
oughly tired out. And for once he felt
no anger toward King Eagle and Mrs
Eagle They had saved him. although
they didn't know 1t. But Plunger knew
it and was happy
Meanwhile King Eagle was beating his
way heavily toward the nest on the
Mountain. carrying the great fish. II
was big enough to tire even his strong
wings But what a feast it would be!
Mrs Eagle had flown ahead They
would tear that fish to pieces TO feed
the babies. When. he reached home
Kinfi Eagle was glad enough to leave
this work to Mrs Eagle. He felt that
he had earned rest.

urgently requested to make a speech

STORM OF CYCLONIC ENERGY
VISITS THE SMYRNA VICINITY
STRIKES A SWATH FROM KEN.
TON TO LEIPSIC WITH DAMAGE
Friendship Church, Colored, Near
KentOn, Blown from It's Foundation
--Leipsic Badly Shaken by Storm

One of the Severest wind storms of
the summer SO far, struck Smyrna
and vicinity Saturday evening after
hot summer day doing considerable
damage to a number of places. The
storm did little or no damage in town
limits but from Kenton to Leipsic the
storm cut a swath similar to a cy-
clone Friendship Church, near Ken
ton, owned by a negro congregation,
was damaged 1t was blown from its
foundations and considerably battered.
The garage and stable and several
smaller buildings on the premises of
William Barrett, negro, of near Ken
ton, were blown down and his chicken
house was also overturned by the
wind. The storm was particularly
heavy at Leipsic, where trees were up
rooted and buildings damaged. Chin
neys were blown from many houses,
parts of roofs were loosened or blown
away and the streets were Uttered
with tree limbs and boats were torn
from their moorings in the creek.
Several fine pecan trees on the farm
Of w. ID. Ennis near 1elpSlc, were up
rooted and blown down. These fine
old trees said to be one hundred or
more years old, are a distinct loss
Many trees also were felled by the
wind and lightning. The telephone
system was put out of commission for
awhile by the storm. At Clayton
where the Radcliff Chautauqua is in
progress, it was found necessary tC
delay the program Saturday night
on account of the storm. Mr.
and Mrs. Leo Basin, and Mr.. and Mrs
| William Warner, who live near the
Bay shore, and who We're on their way
to attend the chautauqua were ma
rooned by the storm when the heavy
rain flooded the carburators Of theil
machines and they were stalled fol
two hours along the roadway.
