Everywhere the sentiment for
strike is growing, and the miners
are ready to respond. The spread
of the strike is assured.
The United Mine Workers mislead-
ers, and the coal operators are des-
perate. They are using the police
and the sheriff's deputies for all they
are worth. Hundreds of U.M.W.A.
"organizers" and hired gunmen are
being deputized by the sheriffs, and
so are the operators guards. Most
of the recent arrests have been con-
Quoted by these elements.
Sheriff Pritchard of Franklin
county with fifty deputies equipped
with Thompson machine guns and
tear gas bombs attacked 200 miners
mass pickets at Cecilia mine today,
firing the machine guns, hurting gas
bombs into their midst, and clubbing
men, women and children. One wo-
man is badly hurt, three pickets are
arrested there, and the National
Miners Union hall is closed by the
sheriff's armed forces.
In Nokomis, in Montgomery
county, south of Taylorville, 200
marching miners from Pana, and
from the other mines around were
surrounded by heavily armed dep
uties when they came to picket Mine
No. 10 of the Illinois Indiana Coal
Corporation at Nokomis, and held
prisoners until deputies from Christ
ian county arrived and served war
rants on 35 of them. These were
taken to Taylorville for arraignment
on "inciting to riot" charges.

Attorney Bentall, sent by the In

arrested, and demand their release.
Freeman Thompson and others
placed under military arrest with
him recently at Kincaid have been

rested while leading the picket line
at Cecilia, and others taken up there,
are still in Jail in Buckner. When
the sheriff proposed to Vozey that
he be released if he would leave the
fight, the miner declared that if he
were released today he would lead
another demonstration tomorrow.

WACE-CUT BODY.
READY TO ACT
Semi-Fascist Group
Picked to Head
Scab Attacks

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Julius
H. Barnes, another of Hoover's
friends somewhat on the order Of
Edwin Shattuck, who is on the pay
roll of the sugar trust, announced
today the organization Of group
of big capitalists to head Hoover's
semi-fascist aggregation of exploit
ers of labor to conduct the drives
against the working class.
Barnes, head of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, was given
the job by Hoover to organize the
imperialists to take over govern
mental functions in Hoover's at
tempt to pull the capitalist industry
out of the swamp of the present
crisis.
Very little prosperity" bunk was
included in Barnes message to the
bosses he is calling together.
These men will work out the ac-
tual wage-cut drives, as most of
them have experience as heads Of
big scab corporations. Green &
Co. will be called in later to lend
a hand.
A date for the meeting of this
powerful group of exploiters has not
been set. The list of those to head
Hoover's "grand fascist council" is
as follows:
Owen D. Young, chairman of'the
board of the General Electric Co.;
Myron C. Taylor, chairman of the
finance committee, United States
Steel Corp; Thomas W. Lamont of
J. P. Morgan & Co.; Paul Shoup,
president, Southern Pacific Railway;
Clarence NJ. Woolley, chairman
American Radiator Corp; Henry
M. Robinson, president, Los Angeles
First National Trust & Savings
Bank; Walter C. Teagle, president,
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey;
James Simpson, president, Marshall
Field & Co.; C. F. Kelley, president,
Anaconda Copper Mining Co.; E. L.
Carpenter, president, National Lum-
Der Manufacturers Association.
Pierre S. Dupont, Wilmington,
Del; Louis E. Pierson, Irving Trust
Co., New York City; George Horace
Lorimer, editor, Philadelphia; Wal
ter S. Clifford, president, American
Telephone and Telegraph Co. Alvan
Macauley, president, National Au-
tomobile Chamber of Commerce,
Detroit; John d. Lonsdale, presi-
dent, American Bankers Associa-
ton, st. Louis; S. w. Cramer, direc-
tor, Cotton Textile Institute, Cram
erton, N. c.; Charles Cheney, presi-
dent, National Industrial Confer
ence Board, Manchester, Conn;
Silas H. Strawn, chairman, Mont
gomery Ward & Co., Chicago, and
Henry Chandler, publisher, Los An
geles.
4 The new stock market crash be-
lies the Hoover dope on "stabiliza-
ton" Stock spectators react
much quicker to growing decline in
production in all basic industries
than Hoover's semi-fascist outfit.
1 The proceedings of these leading
enemies of labor will be secret.
While Green attempts to disarm the
workers Barnes, Young and Lamont
will institute the wage-cut drives.
Resistance is already rapidly de-
veloping against these drives as par
ticularly typified by the general
mine strike in Illinois. .
The drive for 5000 new members
Cor the Communist Party is init
mately tied up with the growing at
tack against the wage-cut drives
no being instituted individually by
the capitalists who compose Hoo
ver's fascist council, and to be made
more severe when their plans are
perfected.

Rose-Mary's letter breathes
deep suspicion. Let me whisper
to you, RoSe-Mary-some other
girls harbor the same suspicion
at this time of year.
II like him but not serious
ly," confides Rose Mary. The
story is, he stopped calling me
up for no reason whatsoeve"
the first of the month. I
didn't expect a Christmas
present-in fact, I'd refuse it.
But do you think Christmas
being so near had anything to
do with his lack of interest?
If so I'd feel very cheap,
wouldn't you?"
Yes, Rosemary, if I we're O
young girl 1 would be sorry 10
think any boy stopped being
friendly with me at Christmas
time because he hadn't money
to spend on Christmas presents
or Christmas treats. If that
is the reason he stopped calling
you up, he did not understand
you, did he? And for that
reason I am glad he is not one
you like seriously"
CommercialiZing Christmas IS
the one way of spelling it.
Rivalry, trying to keep up with
richer friends, giving so much
in return for so much-all that
is a mockery of the serene, un-
selfish, loving good will that
marked the first Christmas
dawn 1000 years ago.
Keep to the simple things Of
life-the genuine, the unasSum-
ing-in planning your Christ
mas giving-then you will not
smother the spirit of our love-
Hest holiday.
Greeting cards are a charm
ing way of saying Merry Christ
mas. And cards need not De
expensive-they may be home
made. The Christmas tele-
phone greeting or telegram IS
opportune.
Don't forget the children and
the poor. There you can af-
ford to be lavish. Toy shops
and toy departments are the
playground of the world these
days. Shop early.
Above all, in making your
Christmas dates, girls, don't
forget, will you, that the boy
who can afford to give you
only a card, can treat you only
to a soda or neighborhood
movie, may. if he has brains
and character, prove in the
long run, far more satisfying
friend than another who hap
pens to have plenty of spend
ing money.
Soon the Christmas thrill
will be in the air. Plan now
to make this Christmas the
kindliest you ever had. Then
your Christmas romance will
take care of itself!

Autumn leaves fall and form
the basis for a charming print
design on a brown crepe dress,
which forms an ideal back
ground for the red and brown
shaded foliage. The dress ter
inmates in u full flare at one
side and the diagonal neckline
is completed by crepe flower
and jabOt.
All the worlds a stage when
women can wear the lovely pic
ture frocks that are the delight

lights seem the ideal compile
ment of a dress with a tight
fitting bodice of cream gold
lame and a unanimously FLAIR
ing skirt composed entirely Of
ruffleS of Cream-colOred tulle.
There's really no excuse for
little sister to miss her daily

and pocket muff are Of che
same material, and the muff
has Upper to keep the con-
tents of the. little pocket safe
