PHILADELPHIA (By MaiD. -
While Pennsylvania is an industrial
state, there are nevertheless a great
number of farmers surrounding the
Industrial centers. Although our
agricultural situation can not be
judged by the conditions of the farm
ers in this state, we must pay some
attention to them because they are
workers.
The election campaign is now in
full swing, both oily Herbert and
Tammany Al are trying to create
illusions in the minds of the farmers
by promising all kinds of relief,
although nothing definite whatever

the other, their conditions will re-

By A TRADE UNIONIST

The Chamber of Commerce, the
Merchants and Manufacturers As
ISOLATION and the Better American
Federation is the Unholy Trinity in
the city of everlasting sunshine and
real estate fakes.
Among the many excuses for its
existence is it's labor-hating policy,
fostering and maintaining the open
shop, to smash the existing unions,
and true to it's name this UnholN
Trinity is employing all unholy
methods, covered with a mantle Of
hypocrisy, labelling its sinister work
with Liberty" Freedom" and
"Americanism."
Lures Workers to Misery.
Creating the impression that they
are solely responsible for the natural
resources and beautiful climate of
Southern California, making god
almighty a mere subordinate and a
profitable trade mark, this Unholy
Trinity is spending millions of dol
lars every year advertising their
supernatural accomplishments thru
out the country. 1t lures thousands
of workers to come to Los Angeles,
promising "plenty of jobs" with in
tentions to swell the ever-increasing
army Of unemployed and then carry
on ruthless war against the very
same workers whenever an attempt
is being made to organize and de-
lnand a decent living wage, the
wages here being so low that it is
impossible for a worker to support
a family without the aid of his wife
and children, who are subjugated to
the severest form of exploitation.
To carry on a systematic attack
against labor in general and upon
organized labor in particular, this
Unholy Trinity has for it's aid the
Anti-Picketing and Anti Syndicalist
Laws and Injunctions.
Division of Labor.
To make their attacks effective
this Unholy Trinity is dividing the
dirty work very efficiently, each
group doing it's bit. The Chamber
cf Commerce, considering itself a
God-ordained body sanctioned by
the almighty dollar, directs the
work The Merchants and Manu-
facturers Association does the spy
work, with the help of the Intelli-
gence Squad, better known as the
"Red Squad" and the Better Amer
lean Federation preaching a certain
brand of "Americanism" and morals
through the aid of the police and the
American Legion. Notorious among
the three groups is the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association,
whose platform is opan-shops. Secret
boycotts and sabotage against
manufacturers employing union la
Dor is a matter of course with this
! group.
Particularly are they active in the
needle industry, which is growing
here rapidly and is becoming an in
dustrial factor on the Pacific Coast.
A great deal of their activities is
concentrated against the Cloak and
Dressmakers Union, where a mill
tant rank and file leadership is be-
ing developed.
Fight Needle Trades Union.
In this industry, which produced
about Is million dollars worth of
ladies' apparel in 1926, over 5000
dressmakers are employed, earning
as low as $12 week, and several
hundred cloakmakers, who, due tc
the fact that they are organized,
are commanding a higher scale of
wages, although not enough to call
it decent wage.
Efforts are being made to organ.

And while concerted efforts of the
Unholy Trinity are exerted to smash
the existing unions, while this IN
holy Trinity is becoming more ag-
gressive, cutting deeper into the
heart of organized labor, the Off
cial labor leadership is playing petty
politics, absorbed in the tremendous
task" to decide who are labor's polit-
zeal friends or enemies in the CAPT
talist political parties, where there
are no one but enemies.
The American Federation of La
Dor officialdom, in its deceptive poll
cies, is becoming close theological
ally to the Unholy Trinity.

lunch before the whistle blew, we
were told that we would have to

five minutes, the foreman yelled:
"Never mind boys, go ahead and

minutes for nothing.
In the 80 minutes allowed for
lunch, the workers must get in line
to ring out, get in line again at the
lunch wagon, bolt down the lunch,

such an extent that they steal each

wart physique. His manner proclaimed
him a leader.
He had long face, a flaming red
beard, and clear cold blue eyes that
liked in close scrutiny upon Duane. He
was not Texan; in truth Duane did
not recognize one of these outlaws as
native to his State.

thoritatively. Whore you and
what're you doing hereP
Duane looked at Bland as he had at
the others. This outlaw chief appeared
to be reasonable, if he was not courte-

Bosomer appeared at the door, push
ing men who tried to detain him, and
as he jumped clear of last reaching
hand he uttered snarl like an angry
dog.
Manifestly the short while he had
spent inside the saloon had been devot-
ed to drinking and talking himself into
frenzy. Bland and the other outlaws
quickly moved aside, letting Duane
alone. When Bosomer saw Duane
standing motionless and watchful, a
strange change passed quickly in him.
He halted in his tracks, and as he did
that the men who had followed him out
piled over each other in their hurry to
get to one side.
Duane saw all the swift action, felt
intuitiveiy the meaning in it, and in
Bosomer's sudden change of front. The
outlaw was keen, and he had expected
a shrinking or at least a frightened
antagonist.

During The ensuing half hour a num-
er of outlaws passed by Duane and
Euchre, halted for a greeting, or sat
down for a moment. They were all
gruff, loud-voiced, merry, and good
natured. Duane replied civilly and
agreeably when he was personally ad-
dressed, but he refused all invitations
to drink and gamble.
Evidently he had been accepted, in a
way, as one of their clan. No one
made any hint of an allusion to his
affair with Bosomer. Duane saw
readily that Euchre was well liked.
One outlaw borrowed money from
him; another asked for tobacco.
Next morning Duane found that a
moody and respondent spell had
fastened on him. Wishing to be
alone, he went out and walked trail
leading around the river bluff. He
thought and thought.
When he returned to the shack
Euchre was cooking dinner.
"Say, Buck, I've news for you," he
said, and his tone conveyed either pride
in his possession of such news, or pride
in Duane. "Feller named Bradley rode
