Here is some urgent advice from
r. H. Riley, Director OF the State
Department OF Health: Calling. at
tention to the increase In the number
of persons who have been bitten re-
Gently by mad dogs in Baltimore
city, DR.. Riley said If you have any
regard for human beings or affection
for the dog itself, either keep your
dog at home or have it on leash
when you take it out.
Most of the danger from rabid
dogs comes through the careIessness
Iof owners who allow their dogs to.
run at large. And the danger is
Just as great in the rest OF the state
as it is in Baltimore City. Rabies
the terrible disease that is caused by
the bite Of mad animal--can be
kept under control only through the
Incorporation OF dog owners and dog
lovers with the public authorities.
..The present increase in the dis
ease has not been caused by the hot
weather. There is no truth in the
old superstition that the summer is
mad dog time. Dogs are just as
likely to 60 mad in the winter as in
the summerthey never go mad un-
less they have been bitten by some
rabfd animal-one that is already
mad-and more dogs are likely to be
running around at large during the
summer. The disease is spread
from dog to dog and from animals
to the men, women and children who
are their victims.
Nothing more agonizing can pc
imagined than the suffering produc-
ed by rabiesHydrophob ia-as 1t IS
also called. There is absolutely no
cure for the disease and there is only
one way to prevent its development
in the man, woman or child VINO

That is. by the prompt administra-
ton of the Pasteur treatment.
I'm the twelve and half years
since the Pasteur work was taken
over by the State Department OF
Health, over 600 persons have been
treated through the Pasteur Divi-
sion. Another large number nave
had to start the treatments but nave
been able to discontinue them after
finding out that the dogs by wnlcn
they were bitten were not rabid.

when a dog is mad or believed

IMPROVED HAVING MACHINERY
GIFTS COST

Hay production in the Eastern
States is not managed 80 efficiently
and economically. in many cases, as
farther west, according to r. s
Washburn. of the Bureau of Agri.
cultural Economics, United States
Department OF Agriculture. A study
of haymaking on representative
farms in Pennsylvania indicated that
some farmers harvest and store an
acre Of hay with four hours Of labor,
whereas on other farms more than
eight hours OF labor is required
One element many farmers have
overlooked is that the easier way is
also the cheaper way.
The use of the side-delivery rake
and the hayloader may be expected
to effect a saving of approximately
one and one-half hours per acre OF
man labor and one-half hour per
acre of horse labor, as compared
with the use OF the dump rake and
hand loading from the windrow
With wages at 40 cents an hour,
says Mr.. Washburn, this represents
saving of so cents per acre in man
labor alone which, with 80 acres OF
hay amounts to SIS, or more thar
enough to pay the interest and de-
probation on the necessary invest
ment in a side-delivery rake and hay
loader.
Unloading hay by hand is tedious
and expensive Economy is to be
expected from the use OF the double
harpoon. grapple fork. or sings in
unloading. "A mower of 5-foot cut
is most commonly used in the
East, The and foot mowers as
used widely in the West allow for
cutting an additional acres in 10
hours for each added foot OF width
On farms which grow 40 acres or
more of hay the IL or IA foot rake
should be used, says Mr.. Washburn,
preferable to small one-horse rake.
With the wider rake so per cent
more ground can be covered in day
and the work is done more easily.

Mine Women Organize Behind Miitants

where relief has been withdrawn, to
continue mass picketing and stand
solidly behind the Save the Union
| Committee.
The movement to organize the
women in the mining camps has
spread to the non-union fields of
western Pennsylvania, where thous-
ands of miners struck April 16 in
response to a call of the Save-the-
Union Committee. In Millsboro,, Fay
cite County, in Yukon and White Vhl-
ley, Westmoreland County, and other
strike centers, striking miners wives
join in mass picketing. A women's
strike auxiliary of more than 100
members has been formed in Export.
and other auxiliaries are being
planned.
Thus the activity of the miners
wives and daughters has proven how
powerful factor the women in the
mining camps can become when or
ganized. The progressive miners now
understand that the fight against the
Lewis machine to organize the I'M
organized miners, restore the union
and union conditions in the industry,
must have the cooperation Of their
women-folk And the women have
demonstrated their readiness to be
organized and drawn into the strug-
gle to hasten victory for the prog
reesive forces and the union.
The women in the mining camps
have demonstrated before all of Amer
lean labor that women can be or
ganized, that they can fight, that
they can be turned into dynamic
force to build a strong and militant
labor movement in this country. The
women in the Passaic textile strike,
the women in the garment industry.
have many times ia the past shown
how powerful a factor they are in
struggles and in organization. Now
the women in the soft coal fields have
proven their great capacity not merely
for enduring hardships, but for en-
gaging in battle, and participating in
strike action. Their work must prove
an inspiration not only to the miners.
but to the entire labor movement, and
must give new impetus to the move
ment to organize the working wom-
en- in America.

By REBECCA GRECHT.

One of the most outstanding fea-
lures in the struggle in the bitumin-
GUS coal fields of Western Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Illinois, is the rising
militancy and rapidly spreading or
ganization of the wives and daugh-
tiers of the miners throughout the re-
gion.
The women in the coal mining
camps have always enjoyed a we'll
earned reputation for their activity
and fighting spirit in time of strikes.
Never before, however, have they
thrown themselves with such vigor
into the struggle. They have recog-
nized that the present fight, in its
sharpness and viciousness, in the OBJ
vious determination of the coal oper-
ators to smash the mine workers
union, in the openly hostile combina-
ton of political and industrial forces
against them, menaces their homes
and threatens their very existence as
no previous strike ever has done.
Unequalled Sacrifices.
In the long year of conflict which
came to a close April LIST, the wives
and mothers in the soft coal fields
suffered more intensely than in any
previous struggle. Evictions, club
bings, terrorization by coal and iron
police and state troopers, hunger and
cold-these have been their bitter ex-
periences. AS a result, thousands of
them have been reused to battle as
never before, and have taken keen
er and more militant interest in the
strike and in the union.
Moreover, with their increased ac-
tivity has come also better under
standing of the issues involved in the
strike, and definite alignment with
the progressive elements in the union.
Today, the active women in the min
ing camps support the attack against
the Lewis machine, and are organic
II ing and fighting under the leadership
of the Save the Union Committee.
Women in Van of Militants.
The organization of the women in
the soft coal fields began shortly
after the lockout on April LIST, 1927

and iron police, as in Meadowlands,
are not rare. Not even brutal at
tacks--in Bentleyville, 62-year-old
miners wife had her skull cracked
with a tear gas bomb, necessitating
lsix stitches-can the women be driv-
en- off the picket line, where their
work is extremely effective.
An outstanding instance ofmilitant
action was given in Lansing and st.
IClairsville, Ohio. Over 200 women
from Lansing joined march on the
Belmont County jail in st. Clairsville,
where five leaders of the Save the
Union Committee, arrested on a pick
let demonstration in Lansing, were
lodged. When they arrived in town,
al women were arrested and thrown
in Jail, but the other women have not
ceased their picketing. Such is the
spirit dominating the wives and moth
Iers who have unflinchingly endured
all the bitter hardships of the coal
strike.
The sharp attacks now being made
by the reactionary strikebreaking of
lficials of the union against the min
lers who attended the National Save
the Miners Union Conference and en-
ldorse its program, especially in Dis
ftrict 5, have also been directed
against the progressive women, but
have not inundated them. Already
many have had their supply of milk
for their babies taken away. Whole
local unions have had their district
relief cut off Evictions from the
barracks are threatened. How the
women feel, however, can be seen by
the happenings in Avella, Pa, where
the wives and daughters of the min
ers whose relief had been cut off
since April LIST, marched upon the
Lewis-Fagan organizer, beat him up,
and drove him out of town.
To counteract the attacks of the re-
dictionaries, the progressive women of
District 5 called a second conference
in Pittsburgh. The decision was
unanimous to fight against attempts
to cut off district relief, to support
the Pennsylvania Ohio Miners Re-
lief Committee, now the National
Miners Relief Committee, to organ
ize marches upon the office of the
local Lewis organizer in those centers

fighters. In eastern Ohio, in western
Pennsylvania, they had shown their
courage, joining with the miners in
mass picketing, Drawing coal and iron
police and state troopers, defying
threats of arrest. Amid high en-
thusiasm, therefore, the conference
adopted resolution calling upon the
wives and daughters of the miners to
Organize their forces and stand shout
der to shoulder with their men in the
fight to win the strike and save the
union, thus taking one of the most
important steps to unite all the forces
of the miners for the sharp struggle
which now lies ahead.
Since the slogan was issued by the
April 1st conference to organize the
women in the mining camps, there
has been a rapid increase in the for
nation of progressive women's aux
iliaries, and more active participa-
tion in direct strike action.
In Illinois, for the first time since
the strike began, auxiliaries are be-
ing formed under progressive leader
ship in Staunton, Belleville, and other
centers. Indiana progressiyes have
organized their women. In western
Pennsylvania, new auxiliaries are be-
ing established in camps that had
never dreamed of any kind of wom-
ems organizations-as in Van. Voor-
his, Ontario, Charleroi. These organ
izations are being formed by miners
wives themselves, who have develop
ed leadership in the struggle, and are
going from camp to camp to help
build up progressive wonnen's groups.
In Heat of Struggle.
With the intensification of the
struggle since April 1st, and especial
ly since the strike call of April 10Th
issued by the Save the Union Com
mittee, miners wives and daughters
in western Pennsylvania are taking
the lead in mass picketing, pulling
out scabs, shutting down mines. Moth
ing terrifies them. In Library, in
Meadowlands, in Fredericktown and
other mining towns, coal and iron po-
lice and state troopers use tear gas
bombs daily to dispense them and
make new arrests constantly-but to
no avail. Cases of women pickets

making a grand flourish of mobiliz-
S34,000,000 to $59,000,000 to $4,000
ling all forces for the strike, organ
lied Ladies' Auxiliaries in various
sections of the district, especially in
the Allegheny Valley, to raise money
for food and clothing and help in the
distribution of relief. AS the strug-
gle developed, however, the women
became more militant, and demanded
mass picketing Becoming convinced
that the disastrous policies of the
Lewis administration were bringing
starvation to their doors and destroy
ing the chance for decent home con-
lditions for themselves and their chill
dren, they endorsed the progressive
movement in the union, and began
to raise progressive slogans in the
auxiliaries.
The union officials then tried to
crush these newly developed organ
izations. They threatened to expel
from the auxiliaries and cut off from
relief all progressive women. They
demanded that the auxiliaries refuse
relief from the Pennsylvania and
Ohio Miners Relief Committee With
in the auxiliaries themselves, the
wives of the reactionaries started a
campaign against the "Hunkies," as
they call the foreign-born women, and
wherever they held the offices refused
ito grant any rights to the women who
Opposed them.
Women at Save the Union Meet.
The answer Of the women of Dis
trict 5 to these threats was to call a
conference in Pittsburgh of represen-
tatives from all centers of the district
for the purpose of organizing Mine
Women's Progressive Committee. A
delegation of miners wives was elect
ed to attend the National Save the
Miners Union Conference on April
LIST, and urge that immediate steps
be taken to rally the women in the
mining camps behind the Save the
Union Committee.
Their action was successful. The
miners who came to the conference
understood that the women in the
mining camps are vital factor in
the present strike and must be or
ganized They had already learned

separate national unions that will
benefit by the training.
The technical education of workers
IS still more important. We have
dealt with it in our chapter on the
production work Of the unions. In
every factory we find young part
time workers, mainly between the
ages of sixteen and eighteen, attend
ing technical schools. In addition to
these schools, there are also technical
schools for special industries, such
as the textile school in Moscow which
serves all the factories in a large
cotton trust. These schools are to
train young workers to become spe-
cialists and engineers.
Support for all these educational
activities, as we have mentioned,
comes from number of sources.

MONEY IS ONE LANGUAGE OF TOWN IN NEBRASKA
pay-As- YOu-GO Is Basis Of Business Life at Bloomfield
 Nowadays.

Bloomfield, Neb., May 29--This town of 1,500 inhabitants has gone on pay-as-you-go basis. Thirty of it's merchants and professional men have banded together to eliminate losses occasioned by charge accounts that never pay up."
 Chain store competition is held responsible, 10 d great extent, for this drastic step. In order to meet competition prices had to be slash ed to a point where the margin of profit was insufficient to meet the drain occasioned by bad accounts.
 So the business men formed an association which requires each member to sign an agreement. A penalty of S109 is provided for rio- lation of this document and a com- mittee has been appointed to sec that regulations are strictly enforc- ed.
 Remember, if you should go to Bloomfield. the watchword there is Tn God we trust-all others pay cash"
