SEEKS TO SMASH
MINERS RANKS
Hooking Valley Men to
Fight Daugherty
by a Worker Correspondent

Oral Daugherty, subdistrict presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers Of
America, District Six, sub-district
one, has divulged his true intentions
once more, and this time in the ac-
tions of about $50 men, according tc
report. Daugherty has been allowed
to remain subdistrict president, al
though for months he has been advo-
eating an adjustment" of the scale
so that both the men and the opera
tors would be satisfied.
There is only one adjustment that
would please the operators and tina,
is an adjustment downwards, and ir
Daugherty they had man who be
lieves in this method. Lewis knew fol
months that Daugherty was knitting
the miners, but Lewis did nothing but
recommend his removal, while Lee
Hall pleaded for him. Daugherty con-
tinued his vile work.
The miners of thel Hooking Valley
have been accustomed to taking care
of such people. Whenever scabs were
brought into the mines, the miners
marched to the pits and brought them
out. All new scabs will be treated
in similar manner. Hooking Valley
has not it's reputation merely for the
inauguration Of the United Mine
Workers. Hooking Valley still has its
fighters, and if Daugherty believes
the men will support him, he has IAN
other think coming"
What has this to do with Lewis ?
Everything. There is no question that
Lewis is using Daugherty in order
to induce the miners to return to
work on a reduced scale, so that
eventually Lewis will be able to shift
the responsibility to the shoulders OF
the rank and file.
What does Daugherty get out of it ?
He gave up his salary on January 1,
and yet always has plenty of money,
and undoubtedly there is plenty where
this came from. Harrington told Lewis
a few years ago about his corruption.
The present situation certainly pre-
sents an unusual opportunity for
making hay.
Daugherty- Hall-Lewis fine trio!

do not see more of the landless
farmers.
The central theme is nothing to get
excited about. 1t has all the usual
fixtures of the ordinary melodrama,
including will, several guns and re-
volvers and sheriff
The story tells of how Jed Willis,
played by j. C. Nugent, the land
owner, who decides to marry his SER
want girl, to meet the requirements
of his grandfather's will which calls
for a male heir to inherit the
property. Otherwise, under the will,
his cousin, Jim Dolf elliot Nugent)
will gain control of the land on his
death.
To make it possible for the play to
continue, the servant girl, played by
Sylvia Sidney, is engaged to Jim. Jed
then schemes to get his young rival
out of the way and finally frames him
up for DEMONSTRATING which results in
Is year prison sentence.
During the many complications of.
the production, Jed is operated on for
hernia and is told by his doctor that
he is sterile and can never be father.
He then displays his generous heart
by agreeing to divorce his young wife
and marry Jane, (Helen Carew) a
neighbor, who had loved him for more
than score of years.
j. c. Nugent, is miscast in the part
OF Jed Willis. No matter how much
he tries to appear cruel and mean,
he is only partly successful. With
another actor in his part, the play
would undoubtly seem much more
realistic.
The other members of the support
ing cast do their utmost in their re-
spective parts. They include Serena
Dale, Claude Cooper, Harry Blake
blakemore, Frederic Burt and Malcolm
Williams.
The play is staged by Augustin
Duncan and produced by Richard
Herndon.-S. A. P.

MONTH IN QUARENTEEN.
Dear Sirs:

Dear Sirs:
After arriving at Panama from
Fort Slocum, we are in quaranteen
over a month with no passes and with
the heat enough to drive one crazy.
There are quite a few men in the hos
pital with fever, so you can see why l
haven't written sooner as l promised.
AS to the trip down here, you can
imagine what it was like, and since |
see you already had something about
this in your paper l will just say it
was hell.
We are walking post six hours in
stead of two. And besides this when
the sergeant told the officers in
charge that 9 1-2 hours in the hot sun
is impossible and that it means sui
eide for the men if drilled that long,
he said, "Drill them until they drop!"
So you can see how pleasant" the
officers become once they get down
into one of these "hell holes" where
there is nothing to do but raise hell
with the men for amusement.
More later.

Gear Ivan the Terrible"
At Yiddish Art Theatre

With the close of the Maurice
Schwartz season last night at the
Yiddish Art Theatre, the management
decided to book the Sovkino film
Gear Ivan the Terrible" which
created furore at the Broadway run
-four weeks at the Cameo Theatre to
crowded houses where the tense and
engrossing story made by the Soviet
film regime in Russia received highest
praise by both press and onlookers.
In bring the film to the Yiddish Art
Theatre, where it will begin lengthy
run this evening at popular prices,
the management no doubt had in mind
the engrossing appeal the film will
have to East Side residents. Not only
the historical value of the mad Gar
who ruled millions of Russians, but
the splendid realistic work of the
players should appeal to the residents
of the district who love and appreciate
excellent material in their film plays.
Gear Ivan the Terrible" was made
in Soviet Russia by the players of the
Moscow Art Theatre. The cast is
headed by Leonidoff who gives a
splendid Interpretation of the mad
Gear who ruled with such a cruel
hard.
Two additional features will be pre-
scented in connection with the show
inc of the film: The "Official Pictures
of the Tenth Anniversary Celebration
of the Russian Revolution" and a
special reel "Views of Moscow"
showing the city in past and pres
mt historical viewpoints. A special
orchestra will furnish Russian music.

SLAVES STRUGGLE
WITH STENCIL and

Fight for Organization

(By a Worker Correspondent

(BY O WORKER correspondent
The workers at the Gobel-Kearns
plants in New York are beginning to
organize. While working conditions
are in general bad in the entire
bologna-making industry, the Gobel5
Kearns plants are the worst of all
in sanitary conditions, low wages and
the unmasked brutality they show to
the workingmen.
Most of the workers receive 80
cents an hour and man has to slave
from three to four years for the boil
ogna kings before his wages are

of the bologna kings generosity.
Most of the slaves are forced to leave
their Jobs because their WORKOUT
bodies cannot stand for very long the
terrible stencil and dirt at the plants
or they are discharged on the slight
est pretext, especially if the workers
become class conscious and start to
realize that while the capitalists are
rolling in wealth, the workers are

Unionization must not be spoken
of at the plants. Mention the word
union and the bologna kings see red
and in this respect they are more
vicious than the bulls they slaughter
for profit.
A few days ago Comrade Emil
Linen and several other fellow work
ers were discharged for being sus-
pected Of organizing the workers.
But their discharge from the Kearns
plant will not stop the rest of the
workers forming a union of their own
and fighting for the betterment of the
conditions of the Gobel-Kearns

The discharge of our fellow work
ers makes us more determined to or
ganize ourselves into a strong body

Textile Strike Worries
Merchants, Clergy

NEW BEDFORD, April % (FP).-
Girls sang and men danced jigs in
front of the mill gates as $4,000 cot
ton workers struck So mills of the 27
companies affiliated to the New Bed
ford Textile Manufacturers Assn.
Not loom wove and not a spindle
spun in even one of the mills as the
workers went out in defiance of 10
per cent wage cut. Is mills employ
ing $500 workers are still busy at
the old rate.
In the bright sunlight of the early
morning, workers went to the mills.
The gates swung open and two police
men stepped before each portal to
stand silent guard. But save for
mechanics going in to fetch out tools,
not worker deigned to enter. About
8 a. m. the gates squeaked shut as
mill owners confessed defeat.
A City On Strike.
New Bedford, dedicated wholly to
the manufacture of fine cotton goods
and mixtures, is a city on strike. The
dependent classes, the grocers, the
preachers, the dry goods merchants,
the street car company, the news
paper editors, all are waiting OBJ
sequiously on the good will of labor,
offering friendly advice and express
ing cooperation.
Preachers from pulpits flay in
dustries which cannot pay a living
wage. Editors swear that they know
labor's cause is righteous. Business
men grieve over empty cash boxes
and p.ead with tears in their eyes be-
fore the textile barons, please, to
rescind the wage cut.
90 per cent of the town gets its
living from the mills and good por-
tion of that 90 per cent, now on
strike, also form the majority of
c hurch audiences, of newspaper
readers and store traders. Even the
cops are courteous yet.
To Organize $4,000.
The Textile Mill Committee, active
throughout New England, opened
headquarters to organize $4,000 I'M
organized workers on strike. The Tex
tile Council embraces for the most
part only skilled crafts.
The Textile Committees disclaimed
any intention of working against the
A. F. 7. o. unions, which they
pointed out. only include skilled work
ers. The committees will seek to line
IN the 10000 unskilled, with one
union 70 mill and all craft lines dis
regarded. They demand a 20 per
cent increase in wages. the 5-day
week, the 8-hour day, and elimination

TRUTH ABOUT NICARAGUA.

TRUTH ABOUT NICARAGUA.
Dear Friends:
One of the men here showed me a
copy of your paper which contained
letter from another "bluejacket"
telling a few of the truths which have
leaked out lately about Nicaragua. l
want to say that l more than agree
to everything he said, and only want
to add some things. We have been a
sort of taxi" lately between the Zone
and Nicaragua, tho we are stationed
in Balboa now-and we got near
enough to the fighting to smell some
of the "bad odors" which are being
carefully kept out of the bosses
press.

Not Enthusiastic Long.


Even some of the young fellows
who may be fooled when first leav-
ing for Nicaragua, aren't fooled long
after they get there, and l have talk
ed to many old timers who are half
crazy to get away from the whole af-
fair. Especially some of the boys who
have done duty in Nicaragua during
early campaigns, and like the Nicara-
guans. They are more than ready to
tell you their good features and to
point out the odds against which the
marines are fighting, with the entire
population on the side Of Sandino's
rebel army. This, added to the "guer-
lila warfare" makes even the most
'hardboiled" sergeant shake his head
and anxious to give up the fight.
Almost half of the men in Nicara-
qua have skin diseases, and sufficient
of these are bad enough hit to have
to be withdrawn. Also, altho only a
small proportion of those with NAL
aria are being shipped back to the
States, it is reported that an even
larger number have the fever to some
degree or other, while there is con-
siderable amount of other tropical
sicknesses.
Bring Wounded to Zone.
There are several Of the wounded
marines here in the hospital where
they were brought recently, tho the
officers are careful to see that no one
visits them, as a wounded marine
knows too much about Nicaragua and
isn't as safe as a dead one. OF course,
the first thing everyone wants to
know when you get in from Nicara-
qua is what is going on there, and
they are always surprised to find how
few of the details we know, as the
officers don't talk the same way
about Nicaragua down here as they
do in the states, and they do their
best to keep secret what they pre-
viousIy described as "just an adven-
Eture."
| But you can bet your life that those
who aren't pulling for the rebel forces
or who haven't the nerve to go over to
them in the fighting, like some of the
boys did--are more than anxious to
get out of the hell and tired of doing
the dirty work for Wall Street.

Kate Let go!
He tried to intimidate her. She did
not see his gun thrust in her face,
or reason had given way to such an
extent to passion that she did not caro-
She cursed. Her husband had used
the same curses, and from her lips
they seemed strange, unsexed, more
deadly.
Like a tigress she fought him. Her
face no longer resembled a woman's.
The evil of that outlaw life, the Wild
ness and rage, the meaning to kill
was, even in such a moment, terribly
impressed upon Duane.
He heard a cry from outside
mans cry, hoarse and alarming.
1t made him think of loss of time.
This demon of woman might yet
block his plan.
"Let gol" he whispered and felt his
lips stiff. In the grimness of that in
slant he relaxed his hold on the rife
barrel.
With a sudden, redoubled, irresist-
IDLE strength, she wrenched the rife
down and discharged it. Duane felt
a blow-a shock-then a burning
agony tearing through his breast. He
staggered backward, almost falling.
The woman's strong hands, awkward
from passion, again fumbled at the
lever Of the gun.
He caught the rifle again, this
time in his right hand, and pulled. She
tripped over chair and crashed down.
Duane leaped back, whirled, few out
of the door to the porch. The sharp
cracking OF gun hated him. He saw
Jennie holding to the bride OF his bay
horse.
Euchre sat astridc the other and he
had Colt leveled, and he was firing
down the lane. Then came a single
shot, heavier, and Euchre's ceased. He
fell from the horse.
A swiftly shifted gaze showed to
Duane man coming down the lane.
Chess Allowayi His gun was smok-
ing. He broke into run. Then, in
an instant he saw Duane, tried to
check his pace as he swung up his
arm. But that slight pause was fatal.
Duane shot, and Alloway was fall
ing when his gun went off. His bullet
whistled close to Duane and thudded
into the cabin.
Duane bounded down to the horses.
Jennie was trying to hold the plung-
ing bay. Euchre lay fiat on his back,
dead, bullet-hole in his shirt, his face
set hard, and his hands twisted around
gun and bride.

cried Duane as he dragged down the
horse she was holding. "Up with you

closer and reached out to grasp -:

Thus they rode through the valley

and broken Rim-Rock. AS they bee2i
to climb Duane looked back. No n''.-
suers were in sight. .,
Jennie, we're going to i.tt AVA.
he cried, exultation for ntr ii LIS
voice.
She was gazing, horrorstricten, at
his breast as, in turning to look back,
he faced her. "a, =.
ooh. Duane, your shirts oil bloody"
she faltered, pointing with trennOiii.S
finger.
With her words Duane became
aware of two things-the hand he IT.

He had been shot through the bre1s.
far enough down to give him grave
apprehension of his life. Little pain
attended The injury, and no sense o:
weakness yet. The clean-cut bullet
hole bled freely both at its entrance
and where it had come, but with no
signs of hemorrhage. He did not bleed
at the mouth; however, he began to
cough up reddish tinged foam.
Jennie, with pale face and mute
lips looked at him.

They did not stop climbing while
Duane tore scarf and made COM
presses, which he bound tightly over
his wounds. The fresh horses made
fast time up the rough trail. From
open places Duane looked down.
When they surmounted the steep
ascent and stood on top of the Rim
Rock, with no signs of pursuit down
the valley, and with the wild, broken
Businesses before them, Duane turned
to the girl and assured her that they
now had every chance of escape.

swung her behind him. He feared the

been duped. His action was p.ote,c-
tive. and his movement toward the
door equally significant.
"Drsne {" cried Mrs, Bland.
It wss no time for talk. Duane
edged ca, !!:ecping Jennie behind him.
AT that moment there was pounding
of ;ron-si,od hoois out in the lane.
Kate Bland bounded to the door. When
she turned back her amaze was chang
ing 10 realization. -.
@Wiaere':e ecu taking Jen?" she
cried. her voice Ike mans.
Get out OF my way" replied Du-
ane. His look, perhaps, without speech,
was enough for her In an instant she
was transformed INTO a fury.
"You hound! All the time you were
fooling me. You made love to me J!
You let me believe-you swore you
loved me! Now | see what was queer
about YOU! All for that slut! But
YOU can't have her. You'll never leave
here alive! Give me that girl! Let
me get at her! She'll never win any
more men IN this cafnp
She was heavy, powerful woman,
and it took all Duane's strength to
ward off her onslaughts. She clawed
at Jennie over his upheld arm. Every
Second her fury increased
"Helpl Help! Help" she shrieked
in a voice that must have penetrated
to the remotest cabin in the valley.
'Iet gol Let go!" cried Duane,
low and sharp. He still held his gun
in his right hand, and it began to be
hard for him TO ward the woman off.
His GOODNESS had gone with her shrek
for help. LET go" he repeated, and
he showed her fercely.
Suddenly she snatched rife off the
wall and backed away, her strong
hands funbling at the lever. AS she
jerked it down, throwing a shell into
the chamber and cooking the weapon,
Duane leaped upon her. He struck up
the rifle as it went off, the powder
burning his face. .
Jennie, run out! Get on a>horse j.
he said, still low and sharp.
Jennie flashed out of the door.
With an iron grasp Duane held to

with hi, left hand, and he gave such
powerful pull that he swung the
woman off the floor. But he could not
loose her grip. She was az strong a.
