Homeless Children Find
Shelter IN Cork Colony

have returned to normal social life
from the colony and are successfully
working in various factories and en-
terprises.
The members of the colony are
entirely self-sufficient, attending
themselves to all their needs. They
cook, bake, launder, make their own
clothing and shoes, their own wagons
and harness, take care of their own
electric plant, moving picture and
radio apparatus, etc.
The children are divided into brig
AIDES, each performing it's own speci-
fic tasks. For example, the first
brigade looks after the electric power
plant, the woodworking factory, the
blacksmith shop, etc.; the second
consists Of cooks, bakers, garden
ers, stable-boys, etc.
When newcomers arrive, the chill
dren established in the colony en-
deavor to create an atmosphere
which will mako the recruits feel
at home, interested in their work
and distract them from any thought
of running away. Most of the at
tempts to run away, do, in fact
occur during the first days. No eff.
fort is made to catch the runaways
and no one is held in the colony by
force. 1t is always hoped that il
some one runs away, he will come
back of his own free will. In most
instances this is really the way ii
turns out.
The colony maintains the closest
relations with Maxim Gorky, after
whom it has been named. The chill
dren and teaching staff are in con-
tinual correspondence with Gorky
who is keenly interested in the work
and gives advice and counsel not
only to the youths, but also to Their
preceptors.

own ideas on the class forces exist

Tenants Strike.
In October, 1925, / happened to
be an eyewitness of the "Inquil-
mos" (tenants) strike in Panama
City, Panama, that was put down
by the 'treat- 'em-rough" boys from
Forts Clayton and Amador on the
Canal Zone at the request of the
landlords of the city; these same
landlords being of course the gov
eminent of the Republic of Panama.
It was an example of a people who
one day could be seen following the
image of some saint through the
streets to cathedral and then the
next day forgetting all about their
religion in order to battle feudal
landlords hirelings through the
same streets.
Marine Strikebreakers.
1t was three days before the gen.
eralissimos of Quarry Heights got
the idea to squelch the uprising but
in those three days a general strike
developed that finally drew in the
firemen and the police and saw the
landlords running for cover on the
Canal Zone. Then General Lassiter
issued one of those high-sounding
general orders and in came the boys
in khaki, iron helmets and gas
masks, armed to the teeth, to make
the city safe for the landlords.
Martial law was declared, sentries
were stationed throughout the city
and we aristocrats of labor on the
Zone warned not to enter the city
until Uncle Sam had the situation
in hand. The Panamanian puppets
were returned to power only after
the 33rd Infantry had bayoneted
six or seven poor Panamanian poems.

By EMIL GARDOS.

Rlnaldo Cappelllnl. is trying to
come back. The famous ex-president
of District 1, United Mine Workers
of America, whom John L. Lewis
threw on the scrap-heap last sum-
mer in order to calm the insurgent
movements, finds the time opportune
to step forward again as savior
of the hard-coal miners.
Supported by his henchmen in the
general grievance committee who
presented him with $1,000 Cadil-
lac car and an initial donation of
$500 for organization work, he is
trying hard to make people forget
about five years of misleadership,
of gunman rule and betrayals. He
is willing to start all over again,
like the first time. History repeats
itself. A tragedy in 1923, bad
farce in 1929 ;.
The Anthracite Revolt.
The remittance of Cappellini is
the latest episode in the struggle
of the hard coal miners, who faced
with the union-smashing rationale
cation drive of the coal operators,
with the open seil-out of the U. M.
w. A. bureaucracy, are forgetting
more and more about their formerly
privileged position and more ready
to fight. The rate of this radicaliza-
ton process may be uneven in the
different sections, as are its mani
festations, but it exists just the
same. Lack of faith in the U. M.
w. A., a revolt against the Lewis
machine, refusal to pay dues and
assessments, are the prelude of the
more open resistance, of strikes
called against the will of the Of
ficials, of the strengthening of the
National Miners Union inside the
decaying, company unionized U. M.
w. A. Feeling that a struggle is to
take place in 1880, when the agree
ment will expire, there is a fer
ment among the miners. The events
in Pittston, this advance post of
militancy, the birthplace of the in
surgent movements, give us an idea
what this storm will be like.
Pittston, with its more than 12,-
900 miners was the hot-bed of the
fight against the corrupt Brennan
rule in 1923, which thanks to the
mistaken support of the Left wing,
swept Cappellini into power. When
this faker turned out to be as rot
ten, if not worse than his predeces-
sor, Pittston was again the center
of the revolt against its own favor
tie son. The numbering of Campbell,
Lillis and Reilly by the machine, the
frame-up Of Bonita, whose hand
worked faster than the contractor
gunman Agati's, precipitated the in
surgent movement, which lead to
the dethronement of Cappellini.
The Betrayal.
Although the Left wing started
the struggle for the Scranton rump
convention, the leadership OF the
movement was captured by group
of unprincipled iob-seekers, Brennan,
Boylan, McGarry and others. After
Lewis bought off Boylan, Brennan,
Isaacs, ETC., and rejected advances of
the McGarry crew, these takers, in
stead of uniting with the Save-the-
Union forces, went ahead with the
organization Of a separate anthra-
cite union. This splitting move was
hailed as "boom to the community
by the Chamber of Commerce, but
the miners rejected it definitely.
AS last effort to save his pres
Itige and to get his price, McGarry
called strike last November at the
Pennsylvania collieries, a strike de-

BASKETBALL TEAMS

Class A and B Schools may Be
Combined In Basketball
Play by New Rule

Anticipating the readjustment of
the high school departments or the
Glass B schools by the State Depart
ment of Education, the Board of Con-
troll presented the district committee
chairman, a plan for consideration in
redistricting the basketball teams of
the state. Class B schools would be
combined with Class A entries under
the new rules. In case the change
would go into effect, there would be
eight regions in the state, the same
number as at the present time, but
in each region there would be six
districts instead of four as there now
is.
Redwood Falls, at the present time
is in District 20, and have played
or will play, during the season, the
following teams: Winthrop, Fairfax,
Springfield, Sleepy Eye, Gaylord,
Morton, Lamberton, New Ulm and the
Departmental winners, which was
Morgan last year; this list making
up District 20.
In the event the new redistricting
program goes into effect, Winthrop,
Fairfax, Springfield, Sleepy Eye, Gay
lord, and New Ulm would be placed
into District Is, while Redwood Falls,

Caution in Meeting
SnolDploWs Advised

Beware of snow plows, is the warn
ing sounded to drivers by the Mime
sofa Highway department. Not that
snow pillow operators are reckless
drivers or that they have any desire
to harm anyone. But due to the fly
ing snow it is often difficult for the
men driving the trucks or tractors be-
hind the plows to see cars even a
short distance ahead. Efficient snow
blowing requires that the machines
be kept going at steady speed.
Drivers on the highways after a
snow storm are urged to be on the
lookout for snow plows, and not at
tempt to pass or meet them where the
snow is heavy but to stop and wait at
some spot where the road is bare or
the snow is light. In any event it is
safest to get as far as possible from
the middle of the road and wait until
the plows have gone by.

of the games being conference tits
Running up 60 points in the game to

Twenty-Five field goals were count

using Laidlaw and Peterson at the
forward positions, Johnson at center
and Corbett and Arnett as guards.
From then on several combinations
were used at different times, giving
every man on the squad a good chance

K. E. CLASSCO DIES
SATURDAY, JAN. rs
Redwood Falls Citizen Passes
Away After Several Years
of Failing Health

K. E. Glassco died at his home in
Redwood Falls Saturday morning,
January 26th, following a long illness,
which became serious within the last
week of his life. The burial services
were held at the home Tuesday after
noon at 200 o'clock, with DR.. j. P.
Linn, pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church officiating. The pail bearers
were DR.. w. A. Brand, F. G. Hub
bard, c. A. Luscher, S. A. Appleton,
Robert Byram and Robert Moorhead.
Interment was made in the Redwood
Falls cemetery.
Kimball Elliott Glassco was born
on December oath, 1860, at Tuscola,
Illinois. AS boy he lived with his
parents on a farm in Coles County,
Illinois. When Mr.. Glassco was 81
years of age he came west to Ashton,
S. D., pioneering in that section of
the country where he proved up on a
claim. After proving the claim, Mr..
Glassco engaged in the hardware
business in South Dakota.
Mr.. Glassco came to Redwood Falls
about the year 1890, where he still
followed his trade as hardware
dealer. In 1895 he was united in
marriage to Julia Lichtwarck. To
this union three children were born,
two sons, John and William and
daughter, Madge, who died in infancy.
For twenty-five years Mr.. Glassco
was in the employ of the Maytag Co.,
retiring from active work, only when
his failing health compelled him to
do so. The past several years Mr..
Glassco has been in poor health, al
though it had only been recently that
he had suffered seriously.
The deceased man was a member
of the Episcopal Church, and was also
affiliated with the Elks and the
Knights of Pythias lodges. Mr.. Glass
CO was a man of unusual charm and
personality. His normal mood was
one of smiling geniality. To have his
friendship, and everybody seemed to
have it, was privilege; to be in per-
sonal contact with him was to feel
that one was in the presence of sim
cere man, sympathetic spirit, an in
terested friend and good citizen. In
his latter years of life, since he re-
tired from the salesman field, he took
active interest in the public and civic
affairs of the city.
The deceased is survived by his
wife; two sons, who are in business
in Faribault; two brothers, two sisters
and two grandchildren. Among those
from out of town who attended the
services were John Glassco, Faribault;
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Glassco, Faribault;
Frank Birkenmeyer and F. S. Birken-
meyer of Minneapolis; Margaret R.
Kelly, Aberdeen, S. D.; Mr.. and Mrs.
George Doster and Mrs. Penhall of
Morton.
