STRIKERS WIVES
FORCED TO FIGHT
OFF MAN IN JAIL
Bodies Bruised On Iron
Cell Floor
fBu a Worker Co,respos,dertl

LANSING, Ohio, (By Mail.)-
The Lansing, Ohio, women who were
tricked into Jail by the authorities
were released today. Each had a
story of cruelty and suffering that
they had endured in the cramped
conditions of the county jail.
The jail, originally meant to ae-
commodate about thirty-five per-
sons, housed over sixty women
Sleeping on the hard iron floor of
the Jail, the women were bruised
and sore. Some of them still have
red marks on their bodies from the
rivets of the iron floor.
They told also of the attempted
attack by Deputy Sheriff Furber,
who, under the influence of liquor
opened the doors into the women's
quarters and conferred his attentions
on one of the young women. The
timely arrival of the jailer, who
was aided by some Of the other
women in the place, kept him from
any violence. He was hurried out
of the women's quarters.
This incident should give the
working people of the entire world
an idea of how law and justice is
administered in the courts and
prisons of the land of the free and
the home of the oppressed.
The heroic efforts and deeds OF
these wives and daughters of the
striking miners of Belmont county
deserves the praise of the entire
working class. Although beaten
and mistreated, the spirit of these
women never died. They under
stood the situation as well as the
Alnen, and saw that if the working
fpeople Of this country are going
TO get results in their demands fo1
decent liviag conditions, they toe
must put their shoulders to the
wheel and push this drive that will
eventually bring the workers and
producers a position of equality with
the slave drivers and capitalists OF
this country.

Socialist Plea
for Funds Sent
on Yell0wPaber
(By a Worker Correspondent

(By Worker Correspondent
received a very interesting let
ter this morning which, altho many
others have received it, | should
like to make few remarks about.
1t is a letter from the Jewish Yer
band, formerly the Jewish Fedora
ton, the central body of the local
socialist party, Jewish Section).
They are inaugurating a "One-Dol-
lar Drive" to support the socialist
party.
ReOrganized Verband
You recall, no doubt, that when
the left wing of the socialist party
broke away to form the Workers
(Communist) Party, the vast ma
jority of the Federation quit the
socialist party The entire thing
was then reorganized and the So
cialist Verband was brought into
being. Now, in dire need of funds,
(perhaps Hillquit has not as much
money as he used to have.) they
send forth an appeal.
The most peculiar thing about the
letter is that it is printed on yell
low paper and the return envelope
is also yellow. How appropriate!
That must have been Vladek's sug-
gestion. Heaven bless the dear
child! May he and the other guys
in his clique live to see the applica-
ton cards (if they still need them
them also on yellow paper, with
the stars and stripes as emblem on
top. Then they won't be takers
any more. They will openly pro-
claim that they are the misleaders
that the Communist Party has said
they are.

SIS IS WAGE OF
CAFE WORKERS
Men Hounded From
Lunch to Job
(Bu a Worker Corrsspondent.)

by a Worker Correspondent,)
The Ideal Cafeteria is located at
Fourth Ave. and E. 23rd st. 1t is
open day and night. About rs work
ars are employed in this establish
ment. All of the workers work II
hours per day.
The bnsS boys receive SIG per
weti;, for a six day week. All
other workers get low pay also.
The speed up system is in full
force. You are not allowed to sit
down and rest up even for one mo-
ment. You are supposed to get one
half hour for lunch. They seldom
get it. Nest of the workers are
forced tc get back to work as soon
as they finish their meal.
You mustn't eat too much food
for meal. If you do, you are told
to eat less. These terrible cond-
items not only prevail in this res
taurant, but in all non-union estab-
lishments. If you come a few min
utes lave, you lose your job.
Without a union the restaurant
workers can never receive better
treatment and more pay. Restau-
rant workers, your place is in the
union. Join the Amalganated
Food Workers Union and help US to
better our conditions on the job.
By helping us you are at the same
time helping yourself. Now is the
time. 1t is never too late.

MACHINE FORCES
OUT 500 WORKERS
Iron Ore Miners Face
Unemployment
Especial to The Daily Worker

Especial to The Daily Worker
DULTH, Mimi, April 30.-Labol
saving machinery is displacing men
at hitherto unprecedented rate.
One iron ore machine now does the
work previously done by 500 work
crs. A short time ago 10000 men
were employed in the iron ore mine
Of northern Minnesota. At the pres
ent time there are only 10000 and
before the end of the year the num-
Der will have diminished to perhaps
5000 or 1000.
Huge steam and electric shovels
are doing the work of ''hands." The
largest shovel in operation weighs
$50 tons and handles from eight. to
nine cubic yards of earth and ore a.
one time, task which requires 500
men to perform.
Full time operation of the ore
mines is due to begin at the begin
ming of May. The first vessels leave
Lake Superior docks. Last year
52,50O,0C0 tons Of iron ore were
mined in this district.

better work than the present men
were doing. Now, the business
agent did not ask these men to join
the union. That would have been
the correct thing to do, for I'M
doubtedly they would have joined
the union.
1t is time that the rank and file
discharged these little, narrow,
selfish-minded officials, who do
their best for their own benefit and
for the benefit of tiny cliques with
in the union, while in reality they
are hitting their heads against the
stone wall of the millions of unor-
ganized men.

MAKING 1T UNPLEASANT FOR
CRIMINALS

New York state leads the way in taking def
mite action to reduce crime. Instead of passing
new laws and regulations to encroach upon the
rights and privileges of law-abiding citizens, it
passed the Baumes law in 1926, which auto
matically sentences a man convicted for the
fourth time of committing a felony, to life i'm
prisonment.
Naturally, there have been objections to this
law because it has teeth" in it, but if crime is
to be reduced the number of criminals and po-
tential criminals must also be reduced. There
is no excuse for a man committing four crimes
of a character to involve a penitentiary SEN
tence. Why should the public be subjected to
the danger of meeting habitual criminals?
New York has taken a step in the right d.
%rection. 1t should be upheld in its program to
catch the crook, keep him caught, hand him a
fitting sentence, and see that he serves it.
Sentimental individuals claim that severe
punishment does not deter the criminal, but
makes him hate society. This apparently has
not been the case in New York. The certainty
of life Imprisonment for a fourth felony has
stayed the hand of the hardened criminal. he
thinks twice before sentencing himself under
such a law.
What New York has done the rest of the
country must do if it actually desires to over
come the criminal clements make crime not
only Improbable but highly inconvenient and
dangerous for the perpetrator.

b. X. Wheeler
Raped From
Lake County

Polson.-Democrats of Lake coun-
ty have filed a protest with W. w.
Mcdowell, chairman of the Demo-
cratic state central committee, against
the name of Burton X. Wheeler ap-
pearing in the Democratic column as
a candidate for United States senator
On the primary election ballot, on the
ground that Mr.. Wheeler not only ran
on the non-partisan ticket in the cleo
ton of 1920 for governor of Montana,
but because he deserted the Demo-
Gratis in 1924, accepting the nominal
ton as vice president on the LaFol-
lette Progressive Republican ticket.
The Lake county organization asks
that Chairman Mcdowell take some
action to prevent Wheeler's name go
ing on the ticket designated as Demo-
cratic. The communication to the
chairman follows:
"Voicing the sentiment of a very
large majority of the Democrats of
Lake county, am writing to you our
protest against the recognition of
Burton X. Wheeler as a Democrat.
"We believe it is the duty of the
state Democratic committee to Off
cially pronounce their disapproval of
the association of his name in any
way with the Democratic cause. His
past political conduct and his present
activities brand him as a political
d~emagogue and freebooter and we ask
that the Democratic state central
committee take some action which will
eliminate Mr.. Wheeler's name from
the Democratic column on the pri-
mary election ballot.
Sincerely hoping that some dras-
tic measure may be adopted to rele-
gate this political pirate to the rear,
| am, sincerely yours,
"R H. COPELAND,
"Secretary-Treasurer".

THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA?

With the announcement last week by the
Daniels County Leader at Scobey that it ex-
poets to maintain a strict independent policy
with reference to candidates for county offices,
and such an announcement having been made
several weeks ago by the editors of the Pro-
ducers News of a similar policy, we are inclined
to wonder whether or not the residents of
Sheridan and Daniels counties will not look
upon such announcements as the dawn of a
new era in this section of the state, and if they
will not welcome such a policy with 'open
arms"
A newspaper is the greatest advertising med
ium which any community may have, but the
editorial policies of newspapers do not always
advertise communities in the way the people
most desire. Just as a paper may be an inval-
liable asset to a community, so may it become
a liability of unreasonable cost. The people
of both Sheridan and Daniels counties have un-
doubtedly had about all the liability kind of
advertising they want through the bitter politi-
cal battles which have been staged in years
past, and from all indications, the editors of
two of the leading newspapers in these two
counties have come to the place where they
realize that such a continued harangue and pol
itical warfare did not add much to the happi-
ness or prosperity of the people of either coun-
ty or to the Golfers of their own treasure chest.
Let us hope that their new independent" poll
cy may be a lasting one.

Business men and others will want to know
the price to be charged for advertising in The
Herald under the new management, and we are
making the announcement through the columns
of the paper in order that there may be no mis-
understanding. The regular rates for display
advertising will be 35c per column inch for any
amount of space less than ten inches for more
than ten inches, soc per inch; all space meas
ured by the single column. Special term con-
tracts will be entered into with advertisers who
are interested in taking advantage of a discount
for quantity space used over a period of one
year. Want ads will be charged for at the rate
of lie a word-no ad less than 25c. Reading
notices, &c per line. Subscription price, $500
per year in advance. The Herald is mailing out
approximately two thousand copies of the pap
er this week, and it is the intention of the pub
fishers to maintain that circulation.

A WORD OF APPRECIATION

The writer has never embarked on
any business adventure where he met
with as w~holehearted support and
was given such warm handshakes as
was received from the people of Plen-
tywood with whom he had an oppor-
tunity to come in contact with during
his brief stay here last week when
negotiating for The Herald. We sim
ply want those people we met to know
that such a spirit is appreciated more
than words can express, and to mere
ly assure them that our efforts will be
all the more determined to publish a
newspaper which will merit their on
tinued confidence and good will.

Production And
Another Coming

The March production schedule
of the Oakland Motor Car company
has been set at 27,773 units, rec
ord which exceeds by more than
10000 cars the company's output
during March, 1927.
January and February also estab-
lished records. BY the end of this
month the company will have built
more than 73,800 cars, a three
month total exceeding by 112 per
cent the 34,727 units production
during the first quarter of 1927.
The completion during February
of third assembly line in the Pom
tiac six factories contributed toward
the February record and is assisting
the company materially in reaching
its high March total.
Further production increases are
anticipated in April, when the new

for the Oakland all-American six
will be placed in operation. The
