Miners Spirit

BRIDGEPORT, o. (By Mail). -
/ have attended several meetings
called in this district by the Save
the-Union Committee and l have not
heard one word said by any speaker
that would tend to split the ranks of
the miners, but on the contrary, |
find the rank and file in better
spirit than at any time in this
struggle.
1t was easy to see that the no.
account officials had sent men
whom they had filled full of booze
and furnished with trucks and ma
chimes to try to disrupt the meeting.
But when these men found 95 per
cent of the miners for the Save-the-
Union movement they had quite an
other thought.
1t appears that there are about
so men there who would rather have
shot of liquor than their union.
The capitalist press right now has
very good connections with the sub
district office of the United Mine
Workers and is trying in every way
to beat down the progressive move

FALL RIVER, Mass. (By MaiD -
Today the Ar6wright Co., whose

usual during the past week, an

shut down until March 8 because of
the break of shay-bolt in the boiler.
Workers in Fall River are Won
dering if the real cause of the shut
down is not labor trouble" rather
than engine trouble. The fact that
the workers have stayed solidly by
the union has upset the calculations
of the bosses somewhat and some ex-
cuse. is necessary for general con-
sumption as to why the mills cannot
be run if the plant has sufficient
force to operate.
The workers in this mill can win
their demands for reinstatement of
their discharged fellow workers
only by broadening out the basis for
a strike and rallying the $4,000 tex
tile workers in this city in a general
strike against the wage-cut and
speed-up system.
Unless the workers force the
hands of the leaders of the American
Federation of Textile Operatives into
departing from their out-worn policy
of respectable, localized strikes, their
efforts will not be of much avail in
stopping the wage-cutting campaign
of the bosses.
The only course open to the work
ers is a general walk-out in all the
mills. w. G. MURDOCH.

Calls the tHob0ken Blues"
Class Conscious Vaudeville

lacked it up and wrote review"
under it. The Times, the Post and
the Telegram were all equally Wind
icative. And why not? If any of
these reviewers dared to call "Hoboken
Blues" a good play and give the
reason for so doing their sheets would
have lost half of their advertising
overnight. The big Park Row prop
critics are not in business to boost
revolutionary entertainment. Previous
New Playwrights plays were called
radical" or mildly interesting" or
''novel-but with "Hoboken Blues"
the critics called the play "boring
and tiresome"-a lie, if ever there was
one.
Maybe after all, those delightful
afternoons spent in the gallery of
the Loew and Keith houses were not
wasted.
For "Hoboken Blues" is vaudeville
delightful vaudeville but vaudeville,
nevertheless. Then, how come, that
in the jazziest vaudeville city in the
world that Michael Colds play should
have been met with vicious barrage
of vitriolic dramatic criticism. 'HO-
b0ken Blues" is a class-conscious
vaudeville! 1t cracks wise, it is true,
but the cracks are directed in delft
manner a THE existing order. 1t is
vaudeville with a poignant, heart
rending lynching scene. 1t is fast. 1t
is sure. 1t has music. 1t has-yes-
even tights. 1t is burlesQue. 1t laughs,
it crys. But always with the present
economic order as the "foil."
At the New Playwrights one sees
corked faces, but not the faithful
"coons" I saw at the Keith houses
during my novitiate. Gone are the
suffling old Sambos, who deterrent
tally DOTTED their battered hats to
Massa George. Colds Negroes in their
vaudeville roles speak of lynchings
and police-cracked skulls.

JOBLESS FREEZE
IN CITY OF Love-;
THOUSANDS idle
Man Knocked Dizzy in
Fight for Work
by a Worker Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, (By MaiD. - ]
am out of work for nearly three
months, like many others of my
friends and comrades. The streets of
our city are over-crowded with work
ers looking for employment, the Of
fices of shops are damned and the
front of employment agencies. with
men and women hungry and cold,
ready to do anything for any kind of
wages, just to get off the street and
to be able to buy a piece of bread or
perhaps a cup of coffee for their
hungry children.
But, no work is to be had, the few
Jobs that are listed with the agents,
the workers cannot buy because of
the high fees that these flunkies are
trying to press out of them. Il know
one man who was out of work three
months, he is a clerk and receives
about S22 a week. He landed job
for which he had to pay $46) AL
though there is misery and poverty
everywhere, the workers do not real
ize the necessity to organize them
selves and the few that have courage
enough to do so are driven off and
jailed by our friendly city administra-
tors, who are expressing their broth
erly love towards their fellow men
through the clubs of their blue coat
lackeys. This is prosperity"
The following are some Of the in
cidents that I've experienced during
the last few months:
Workers living in parks on the
benches in spite of the cold weather,
unable to secure employment and
without food and shelter. Workers on
the street begging for nickel 10 buy
cup of coffee. Workers on the
street in the front of some shops
fighting, while each of them is trying
TO get inside first. One day last week
about 500 to 800 men were trying
to make application at the same place,
one man was knocked half-uncOn-
sciOus and walking away he left a
trail of blood that ran off his thin
body. One meeting of the unemployed
was disturbed by the police and 16
men and women were arrested. No
doubt our blue coats are excellent
/ heroes.
! One worker l met had been out Of
work four months, unable to pay his
board His last job only brought him
i S15 a week. working around acids
/ etc. He was thrown out of the house
by his own sister. The boss came out
end told us that no help was wanted
he then told me that if he doesn't
soon get a job he's going to pick up
lead pipe. f.. When l told him
about the meeting of the unemployed
he said, "they can't do anything any
how" He could hardly walk and only
had one meal day for two weeks
/ couldn't get very far with him be-
cause he was an eX-service man, and
of course, a good patriot.
These are only few of the many
Incidents we come in contact with
every day, but they are of no bene-
fit whatever to the unemployed
Therefore, l would like to say to these
men and women, let us stop to fight
with each other, let US organize and
together fight our common foes, the
capitalists, and their system under
which we are oppressed and exploit

PRIZE RABBITS
RAISED IN CITY
Russian Emigrant Boy Has
Over 1,o00 Fur-Bearers
on Good Hope Hill.

Within the city limits Of Washington,
on Good Hope Hill, at the end of Good
Hope road, after crossing the Anacostia
Bridge, there has been developed a
modern rabbit farm 1t is the work of
one man, Morris Yochelson, who within
less than 20 months has established a
business that has attracted attention
of markets, hotels and private buyers.
Yochelson's history is another story
OF the self-made emigrant boy. He
came to this country from Russia when
10 years old. For many years he
worked in agricultural districts. AL
would be profit in rabbit raising if the
business were conducted upon a scien-
titic basis. In 1927 he decided to ven-
ture into the field of rabbit raising.
He started with three female rabbits,
which he kept in box. He had never
owned a rabbit, and his only knowl-
edge of their care lay in information
received at the Biological Survey Two
weeks later Yochelson purchased II
additional rabbits. male and female.
For the new arrivals he built hutch
Of four compartments according to
plans received from the Biological Sur
vey. Since then the Sunny Hill Rabbit
Farm has been growing rapidly, Yoch-
elSon's hutcheS now housing more than
1000 rabbits.
Yochelson has eliminated a great
meny of the difficult details of rabbit
raising. For instance, having had to
spend one hour each morning and one
hour at night undergoing the tedious
task of watering the animals, he evolved
plan whereby he can now send a
change of water to every hutch in less
than 10 minutes.
Yochelson specialized in fine breed
of New Zealand red rabbits, and his
stock Is in great demand among other
breeders. He supplies rabbits to all
markets, hotels and restaurants, and in
addition has manv calls for the smaller
rabbits as pets. The fur of the animals
is by-product, and is disposed OF to
fur firms.
At the recent county fair at Hagers-
town. Md. Yochelson entered seven
rabbits, for which he was awarded five
prizes.
