BAND DANCE IS
 GIVEN TONIGHT

The Juneau City Band will give it's second annual dance tonight in Elks Hall. The music will start at 9:3o o'clock sharp and those who desire to enjoy a full evenings pleasure are requested to be there at that time.

 Many dinner parties are sched uled for tonight following which the dance will be attended.
 The Juneau City band is not a Sousa organization, but is com posed of local musicians banded together for one purpose, present ing band music. The dance to night is for the purpose of pur chasing more music and instru ments and other incidental ex penses. The dance selections vii be waltzes and fox trots, late anC old time favorites, with noveltic! interpersed; and for the sake o oldtimers, several schottisches vii be played.
 This is the first band music fo dance in Juneau in two years.

WHITEWASH IS
seen FOR COAL
POLICE KILLERS
Guns, Clubs to Over
awe Miners

DIV q Worker Correspondent
PITTSBURGH, Pa, (By MaiD.-
The trial of the three coal and iron
police murderers who brutally muir
dered John Barcoski, after having
first savagely beaten and tortured
him, last February, has been set for
June 10, according to an announce
ment from the district attorneys
office. A whitewash is expected.
The three murderers, former Lieu
tenant W. j. Lyster, and Privates
Harold Watts and Frank Slapakis,
are in the county Jail here, where
they were committed by a coroner's
jury February 10, eight days after
the murder.
Brutality Murdered.
Barcoski, who was a coal miner,
was sitting on his porch, when the
coal and iron police entered his home,
drunk to the gills, and brutally beat
him. Then they took him to the po-
lice barracks of the Pittsburgh Coal
Company at Imperial, where they
continued the torture. After Bar
coski was completely unconscious,
these brave defenders of the law
stamped his ribs in one by one with
their heavy boots, and enjoyed the
crunching as the ribs caved in. They
then kicked his face until it was so
mutilated as to be unrecognizable.
Police Get More Power.
In spite of this, however, the Coal
and Iron Police remain and are be-
ing given more power by the CAPT
talist, strikebreaking Fisher govern
ment of the state of Pennsylvania.
The case of Barcoski is but one in
cident in the reign of terror that
exists in the coal fields of Western
Pennsylvania. The Coal and Iron
Police respect neither life nor limb
of the miners, and many miner
has felt the weight of their clubs
and guns. 1t is quite probable that
these three murderers will get off
with very light sentence, or will
be pardoned after the furore raised
by this murder has blown over.
The National Miners Union, which
defends the interests OF the miners,
is fighting for the abolition of the
Coal and Iron Police and also of the
state constabulary. 1t is interesting
to note that Lieutenant Lyster of
the Coal and Iron Police, who is re-
sponsible for the murder, was dis
charged from the state constabulary
for killing man. The close connec-
ton between the two is obvious, and
the National Miners Union fights
against both and demands their abo-
lition.

are all rarin' to go. The bosses have
had the workers thinking every
thing is going nice and "rosy" but
the bosses have taken away the
"roses" from the workers and the

strike.
The United Textile Workers Union
is mighty sore about our union, the
National Textile Workers Union,
leading the strike. They wanted to
get in on this strike so that they
could sell US out to the bosses like
they have done in other mills. They
don't dare show their faces around
this strike section. The wouldn't
stay here long if they did show
themselves. We sure don't want to

ALL. Goes ON
KNEES TO mail
ORDER BOSSES
But Never Cared to
Organize Slaves
Oh q YORKER Correspondent

(By WORKER correspondent
! CHICAGO, (By MaiD. The
thousands of young workers of the
Sears-Roebuck mail order houses
average $12 a week, and many get
even less. They have to IL hour
day of slavery.
The Sears-Roebuck Co. issues a
thick mail order catalogue every
year, which contains several thou
sands of pages. 1t is the biggest
printing job in the world. 1t is a
job that costs hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.
julius Rosenwald, the multi-mil-
lionaire and "philanthropist," is the
boss of Sears-Roebuck Co. He is
such hater of union labor, and says
he is so determined to fight organ
lied labor, that he will absolutely
not under any circumstances give
the huge job of printing the cata-
logue of Sears-Roebuck to union
firm. This, he says, would mean
giving jobs to hundreds of union
printers. He says he does not want
union workers of any kind to have
jobs.
This is class solidarity-of the
bosses; the open shoppers aid the
open shoppers. The contract went
to the huge open shop firm of
Reuben H. Donnelly, printers of
classified telephone books, etc. The
Montgomery Ward Co., also a big
mail order house, followed the lead
of ears-Roebuck.
Now what do the A. F. L. Of
ficials do. They are trying to get
union workers to send protests to
Rosenwald and the Montgomery
Ward Co. They are begging the big
open shoppers in the mail order line
to give at least part of their print
ing work to closed shops.
But, did the A. F. L. ever care a
hang about the slaves in the mail
order houses? They never attempted
to organize these young workers
who get $12 a week for a 10-hour
day. If these workers were organ
lied, and if the A. F. L. was honest,
and not corrupt, the mail order
bosses would not give any printing
jobs to open shop printers, if the
mail order workers did not want it.
For the organized mail order work
ers would be strong weapon
against the Rosenwalds and other
open shoppers; they would take mill
tant action to prevent thousands of
union printers from being thrown
out of work, as they are being now
that the Sears Roebuck job has gone
to Donnelly, the open shop firm.
But such militancy could never
happen under a rotten, craft-ridden
A. F. of L., with its crooked officials.
Printers, fight for one industrial
union of the printing trades. Shake
loose from the craft unionism Of the
A. F. of L., which ties you hand and
foot.
And think over the fact that the
A. F. L. never cared to organize
the mail order slaves.

There is no organization to take

gang" work is generally $4.05 for a
day from nine to IL hours. The
workers are forced to pay back So
day out of their wages for board

A medical examination is required

the distance, about 16 versts, in
two and a quarter hours. am
mighty glad we did, as the train
came one and half hours later
than we did. I have used this time
to interview the local Communist
Farty women's organizer. She is a
Osetenian woman, quite young and
full of energy. She told me great
deal about the local people and their
customs. I made my acquaintance
with her when one of these customs
was violated. 1 was waiting next
to her on a street chair near the
station. Next to her sat another
woman, a Russian. A group of To-
cal women happened to pass by and
my neighbor exchanged a couple of
words with them in their own
tongue. When they passed by, she
began to complain to the Russian
woman about the dictatorship of Gus
toms, which she called a curse. I
intcrfered and asked her whether
she could not explain to me what
was the trouble. / learned from
her that she was to get up when
these ladies passed, in accordance
with the local customs. But she de-
fled that custom and expressed fear
that they might feel offended by
her act.
She also told me what difficulties
they had during the struggles be-
tween the Osetenians and the Geor-
gians. The latter were mostly shop
keepers and wealthy, and naturally
supported the Mensheviks. The Ose-
tenians, poor, but proud and alert
people, favored the Soviets. They
had their reasons for it. Finally the
Georgians were driven out of the
place. She also told me some other
interesting stories, including one
about horse stealing.

Charge More, Company
Orders Foremen
fBy a Worker Correspondent

WHITNEY, Ontario, (By MaiD.
Conditions for the lumber workers
of the Hawk Lake and also the Fes-
serton Timber Companies here are
rotten. The wages paid the work
ers of these companies are from 81
to 35 cents an hour.
To make 35 cents an hour you
have to do some shaving. The lum-
Der companies in this section get to-
gether and set the wages for the
men, and whatever wages they de-
eide to pay, the men either take or
get out of camp.
Put Clock Back.
The hours are long and the work
hard. At the Fesserton Co. Camp
No. sleigh haul is from $50 a. M.
till 7. The foreman here pushed the
clock nearly an hour to fool the
workers into shaving an hours ex-
ira time for the company.
Deduct from Wages.
A time check of a worker at Fes-
serton camps shows that he is
charged 81 for carrying his pack
sack into camp, So for the use of an
axe and saw, and they deduct 10
per cent of a mans logs which he
cut for six cents.
The board bills are very stiff, con-
sidering the kind of stuff served,
the lousy quarters, and the low
wages paid. Board is 81 day, 81
is deducted for the use of a horse,
and if you buy any clothes or such
things at the camp you are soaked
double what you pay outside. For
lnstace, a paid of rubbers worth 81
paid So for.
The workers are mostly morgan
lied at these camps. All spring the
men were out of work.
Check Up.
The company headquarters sends
inspectors down to see that no man
is being paid too much, to make sure
that men are being locked for all
equipment, and letters are frequent
iy sent to the straw bosses here
stating that on the last visit here
the inspectors found that too much
wa sbeing paid, etc.
Recently a letter sent to the fore
men of the camps told the latter
that after a conversation with the
officials of the Hawk Lake Co., they
found that the latter company was
only paying 81 day for unsteady
men, and therefore the Fesserton
foremen would have to pay these
men only $40 a month. Then a let
Ter was sent to one of the Fesserton
camps saying that they were not
leducting from the mems wages as
much as the other camps of the COM
3any, and that the foremen should
see to it that as much as possible is
collected from the men.
Never charge less than 81 if a
man uses more than an axe, is the
.ompany's order. Charge at least 81
IL more for the use of saws, the
company orders.
What the lumber workers need is
