Mass Pcketlng is Winning

the operators talked and talked and
finally on January the 3rd, after the
bosses thought the miners were too

By HUGO OEHLER.

In the early days of the strike of
the Colorado miners mass picketing
was the life blood of the struggle.
The march of the miners ebbed and
flowed, first in the south then in the
north, back and forth where the strug-
gle was intense. If county was out
q hundred per cent the strikers would
form caravan and move to the Sec
ton of the struggle where aid was
needed. This assistance was needed
mainly in the south field where the
Rockefeller, g. F. and l. stronghold
is located. Picketing, the most power
full weapon the workers have, closed
the mines, stopped production and put
fear of the workers in the coal opera
tors and the state.
The State Begins Clubbing
A counter move following the
picketing was inaugurated by the
state with the calling out of the state
police and finally the National
Guards. Beating workers, clubbing
the women, eviction of strikers, mass
arrest and murder at the Columbine
carried the class struggle to boiling
point for the strikers. failing of &C
tive strikers, mass arrest of leaders
and picketers brought a change in
tactics, new leadership.
The first time the strikers re-
linquished this weapon in the south
field it was put into action and revived
three days later. The second quiet
spell followed the Columbine affair
and the mass arrest and imprison-
ment of such workers as Svanum, EN-
bree and Seidler.
Picketing is one thing as weapon
its correct application is another. For
days no picketing could be noticed, nc

operators gained by inches. The In

EMPLOYERS MEET
Workers Demand Unity
Against Bosses

Another conference will take place
omorrow morning at the Hotel Nc
lIpin between the Rabbit Dressers'
locals of the International Fur Work
ers' Union and the Consolidated Rab-
bit Dressers' Association, the employ
ers' organization which has demand
ed that wages be reduced % per cent
This conference was decided upon
when the unions refusal to consider
decrease ended conference held
last Friday.
Cannot Reduce Pay.
This meeting is to decide whether
the whole question is to be given over
for arbitration to an impartial chair
man. According to the present agree
ment the arbitrator has no power to
reduce wages below the minimum
scale set forth in the agreement ex-
isting before the present one, which
is SLIGO for 100 skins. The employers
emand that the wage be $3.50 per
FOO.
Employers Aided.
The excuse offered by the employ
ers in asking for reduction is that
open shops which pay less wages are
competing with them.
A persistent belief exists among
the membership of the locals involved
that Moe Harris, manager of Local
So, and Milton Corbett, former head
of Local 25, suggested to the bosses
that they advance this anti-union
argument. The workers meanwhile
point to scores of thousands of dol
kars Harris and Corbett say they
Spent on organization work.
Graft Charges.
More than rumors are responsible
for the deeply rooted belief of the
membership that on the one hand
graft was taken from the bosses for
failure to organize the open shops
while on the other hand these shops
were used as an excuse for further
large expenditures for Organization

bosses when Morris LANCER, the pres
ent left wing manager of Local %,
of Newark, proposed to Harris that
the membership of Locals % and 81
unite to fight the bosses, Harris re-
fused. He gave as reason that
LANCER and his executive board had
been suspended by the International
officials, in spite of the fact that
LANCER still participates in all con-
ferences with the employers.
Undermines Resistance.
While speaking against a reduc-
ton in wages, Harris is undermining
the resistance of the workers, the
members declare. He refuses to agree
to a joint meeting of the two locals
n to allow leaders of the left wing
p attend membership meeting of
his own local in Brooklyn.
q Continued graft rumors, however,
prevented Harris from excluding Lam
ger from joint membership meeting
last Thursday. An enthusiastic
demonstration by the membership
took place when LANCER proposed
united action.

STORY FROM THE start

Handsome, fastidious and
wealthy-young st. Croix Creigh-
ton awaits his sweetheart at
their trysting place. She is late,
this ordinary little Pennsylvania
Dutch girl. Nicely Schwenckton.
Despite her seeming innocence
and ignorance, she succeeds in
keeping him at q distance, to
his chagrin. Nicely. in the
Schwenckton home, where she Is
boarding, is altogether unlike
the girl who meets st. Croix
clandestinely. She is the. teacher
in the neighborhood school, of
which Marvin Creighton. st.
Croix' brother, is superintendent.
Nicely learns that Marvin was to
have married his cousin. "a titled
English lady, but, believing she
was attracted by the Creighton
wealth, had refused the alliance.
1t Is the rumor that st. Crofx is
to take Marvin's place and marry
the English girl. st. Croix' jeal-'
ousy is aroused by Meely's report
of an aged sutton for her hand.
The girl cleverly decoys him into
admitting he has no intention OF
marrying her. Marvin visits
school in his official capacity as
superintendent and discovers
how shockingly little Nicely
knows about school teaching. Mr..
Schwenckton, coming home from
town, picks up stranger, and
finding his watch gone, demands
the stranger get out and turn
over his watch.

In splendor, Venice Surpassed All Cite

In Venice of the Sixteenth century
luxury and splendor surpassed all
bounds; never before at any time nor
in any city were religious ceremonies,
victories, the conclusion of peace, the
visits of foreigners, or the marriages
of illustrious persons, celebrated with
greater pomp and magnifcence. Those
in the occupations of cloth makers
and diapers reaped huge fortunes, for
on nearly every gala occasion miles of
rich new fabric were used and visi-
tors to the city were rendered speech
less by the matchless spectacle.
There was great rivalry among the
mobiles to see who could appear in the
professions in the most expensive robe
Of gold and velvet, while the richness

protested that If they would allow him
to telephone home, one of the Beech
lands chauffeurs would be here in a
short time with a runabout.
While he was telephoning, Mr..
Schwencktou ordered Nettie to make
some strong hot coffee and get out
some doughnuts and pie.
But what, Nicely wondered, would
st. Croix think of the teachers being
asked to do this instead of the daugh-
ter of the house7 She considered
swiftly what would be her best course
to avert suspicion on both sides. To
get across the kitchen to the stairway
and run up to her room? Mr..
Schwencken would be bound to stop
her and insist that she stay and have
coffee and doughnuts with them. and
If he spoke to her at all, st. Croix
would notice how differently he ad-
dressed her and Nettie. To remain
here. however, was more certain to in
vite exposure. And yet, she was
afraid to go away for fear of what
might come out in her absence.
Nettie, as she hustled about making
coffee and setting out cups and sau-
GERS, saw, with keen chagrin, how Mr..
Creighton's eyes kept turning toward
Nicely and never in her direction And
the expression on his face-furtive,
hungry, infatuated Was this, Nettie
wondered, a case Of love on sight?
She was greatly puzzled, for in heI
opinion Nicely "looked a ness in that
sloppy kimono and with 'plait'
,down her back.
AS Mr.. Creighton hung up the re-
ceiver, there was a quick movement
in the room-Meely making for the
stairs.
Zach, Nicely" began Mr.. Schwenck-
ton.
"Good night" she interrupted, rush.
ing up the steps before he could stop
her-but not before she caught in st.
Croix' eyes the evidence of the con-
fiict in his mind--a passionate protest
against her going, mingled with fear
of her presence.
Upstairs in her own room, while she
prepared for bed, she had the exciting
suspense of wondering whether they
were talking about her; whether st.
Croix had noticed the kimono she had
on, Japanese embroidered silk thing
that county school teacher would
hardly own if she were what she
should be! Yes, THIS kimono could
be "give-away."
"Well, when this sort Of thing could
happen it was evident that she could
not much longer keep up her farce.
She must bring things to climax as
soon as possible; beguile st. Croix to
lay his cards on the table; force his
hand for showdown.
The sound of the cabinet organ In
the parlor below her bedroom, and
Nettie's shrill voice singing, interrupt
ed her thoughts. Nettie was invari-
ably called upon by her father to en-
terrain company" with her musical
accomplishments of organ and voice,
and of course such distinguished com.
pany as Mr.. st. Croix Creighton
would have to be favored. Through
Nettie's lungs and fingers the entire
family found their one and only ar
:tistic expression.
