This survey assures beyond doubt
that not one Of our members en-
gagged in any such stupid acts.
These members have too much
sense than to rush about, advertis-
ing to the wide world that we are
violent people. They have enough
sense to know what will help them
and what will hurt them. We had
no desire to be rushed into court
in injunctive proceedings. 1t is
only the company and its associated
agencies of str.kebreakers which
could wish such consummation.
Labor-Baiting Bulletin.
Even the worker-baiting organi-
cation known as the Wisconsi'
Manufacturers Association, with
headquarters at Madison, bears out
this thought. In a confidential bull
letin to it's members, under the
title: "a Horribly Misguided
Group" it says, "How group of
$50 people holding jobs like those
strikers had could be so horribly
rnisled by agitators responsible for
the strike is almost beyond COM
prehension" We want to say: 1t
is beyond comprehension. 1t is I'M
true. We committed no such acts
as have been alleged. Incidental
ly, this anti-union bulletin mis-
states the case, as usual. Every
one in Kenosha knows this is not
a strike. 1t is a lockout. 1t is an
attack by the company on the
workers. The only group respon-
sible for this unfortunate dispute
is the company, which forced it on
us against our wish)
Company Gangsters.
Our workers have been cautious
about violence for other reasons
than those mentioned in our first
article. They have not been anx-
ious to be the marks of the strike
breaker gunner who are now let
loose in Kenosha.
In case after case, our workers
have had shotguns, revolvers and
blackjacks drawn on them. They
have also had red pepper thrown in
their faces.

forbidden Roads" at Liberty
Suffers from Adaptation

A THESIS on honor called FORBID
n den Roads," is now playing at the
Liberty Theatre. The play is an
adaptation from the Spanish of Jose
Lopes Pinillos, by Roland Oliver. In
its native land the play was known
as Gel Caudal de los Hijos." (The
Heritage of the Children.")
While the story is told with not
a little dramatic force it seems unreal
most of the time. Altho it concerns
itself with Spain, somehow it is diff
ficult to disassociate the action from
Long Island or any other part of the
United States where the bourgeoisie
live. Whether the adapter or the di-
rector is responsible will not be taken
up here.
The play is presented with small
cast headed by Judith Vosselli, Rob-
ert Bentley and Alan Birmingham.
Mr.. Bentley gives g fine perform
ance in the role of Don Augustin, who
prevents his wife's elopement and
spares the life of her lover, Casper
Gomez, Orchard FarrelD for the
sake, so he says, of his young son.
Fifteen years later, the son finds
himself in a similar situation. His
mother, Dona Isabel, miss Vosselli)
confesses her love affair of years
gone by to persuade the son, RODRIGO.
(Mr. Birmingham from killing his
wife's lover, DR.. Javier Orchard
Nichollsl. In the end the mother her
self kills the young wife, Marta
maxine Calvert).
The play suffers great deal from
repetition, which after a while be-
comes boring. The Tightening of the
story throughout, and the bringing
back of it's Spanish atmosphere would
help great deal to strengthen the
production.
The play is staged by Henry Still
man and produced by Walter o. Lind
sey and James E. Kennedy.

"TROUPERS" HAVE
TO BEG SICK AID
FOR HURT ACTORS
Theatre Owners Pile Up
Enormous Profits
by a Worker Correspondent

by a Worker Correspondent
The week of April 8 to Is inclusive
was set aside by the National Vaude-
vile Artists IN. V. A. as the twelfth
annual jubilee week.
During the whole week collections
were made in the various vaudevilles
and theatres in this country and Can
ada for the benefit of the artists who
are injured during their work.
1t is a shame that these vaudeville
artists should go around begging
from the theatre-goers to help their
unfortunate brothers while the the
atre owners are piling up millions in
profit
These artists will sooner or later
realize that if they organize they can
force their bosses to provide for them
in case of illness or injury.
In the Soviet Union the govern
ment provides for the sick artists.
Of course, our government is "too
civilized to do such a thing.

tions until the shoe workers throw
out the present officials from top to
bottom and take control of the unions
into their own hands. The shoe work
ers should then set up movement
for the consolidation of all shoe
unions into one organization, and
must start an organization drive that
will sweep all the shoe workers into
this mass union.
Opposition Groups In Lynn.
The corrupt officials have become
so bold prosecuting the rank and file
in carrying out the orders of the
bosses, that the workers, realizing
the impossibility of fighting thru
their local union, have begun organic
ing clubs as a means of resisting
wage cuts, but in order to make these
forces of opposition factor among
the shoe workers in the city of Lynn,
Iunorganized workers must be drawn
in, since only few shops are organ
lied in this shoe center.
The watchword of the progressives
must be, on with the organization of
the shoe workers in the progressive
movement irrespective of whether
they are Boot & Shoe Protective, or
unorganized.
Under the leadership Of the pro-
gressives the shoe workers will crush
the reactionary machine and turn the
attack of the bosses into an often
sive struggle for better conditions.

No Violence.
Not one finger Of accusation has
been pointed at US strikers by way
of arrest. Not one of the strike
breakers has ever sworn out
warrant Of arrest against US. And
had we been guilty of any violent
actions the people of Kenosha may
be sure that the unscrupulous pol

portunity to do this.
There was a very definite reason
for our orderly and peaceful course.
We knew very well that we had
the company completely defeated,
thru the thoroness Of the workers
refusal to go back under anti-union
conditions. AS the union publicly
states: evidence can only injure
our cause"
1t was only the company that
could profit from alleged violence.
Refused Mediation.
1t is particularly noteworthy that
the second brick throwing came to
pass the night after the company
rejected the six local clergymens
offer of mediation. Every one
knows that the company at that
time, by reason of its arbitrary ac
ton, was in bad public odor. The
second brick throwing came to the

man. 1t again screamed VIO-
LENCE, even though no one could
tell who had committed the act.
The bricks, in all instances, were
so nicely placed that they broke
windows with abandon but touched
not a hair of the strikebreaker's
head. We consider this a strange
phenomenon. The whole business
was merely spectacular way of
throwing mud at the workers, by
inference.

developments that we made a man,

LESS OATS AND MORE
FLAX AVAILABLE IN 1928

A. C. Army, who is in charge of
farm crops at the Minnesota Expert
ment Station, advises the sowing of
more flax and less oats in Minnesota
in 1928.
"Flax is the only grain crop which
has shown a net profit to the acre
each of the last five years." he says.
ct is difficult to predict the price
of flax seed in 1928. Price will de-
pend on the demand for the oil. AL
though apparently a large crop of
flax seed is being harvested in the
Argentine, the situation is much the
same as for the past year. 1t ap-
pears now that the flax acreage in
the United States might well be in
creased by at least one-half million.
Minnesota growers may well substi-
tute flax for oats on a quarter of a
million acres suited to the CROP"
Manufacturers Of linseed oil used in
paints and in other ways have been
consuming 40 million bushels of flax
seed yearly for some time past. Min

duce not much more than half of the
amount used after what is needed for
sowing has been deducted.
