TINS of Negligence

(By a Worker Correspondent
TIMMINS, Ontario (By MaiD.--
The Noranda Mining Co. is sinking
shaft 5000 feet deep and is work
ing the men three shifts in order to
get the work done as quickly as pos
sible. The shaft is at present down
to about $50 feet and there is not
sufficient tagging behind the TIM
Der; they go down about AS feet at
a time in very loose rock. A miner,
Dan Kapan, was killed recently on
account of the fall of rock. After
he was killed, the company started
timbering the shaft and another fall
occurred, and seven other miners
were hurt; one, a Finnish miner,
was badly smashed up. The man
who was killed, Kapan, left wife
and child in Jugoslavia.
The Noranda Mining Co. pays the
smallest wages in the Timmins coal
mine district. While the regular
wages are 81 day the Noranda
Company pays only S. day. The
shaft miners got together after the
accident and demanded an increase
to 7.5O a day and oil clothes free.
The company tried to trick them by
offering the bonus system, which
the miners refused.
The men, though unorganized,
came out solidly to man. The
company is searching far and wide
to gee scabs, but the men are stick
ing.

DETROIT, Mich. (By Mail).-
Over here we had Harry Coulby,
the "Lake Gar" who told how he
struggled" Sacrificed" ETC., and,
of course, every worker is supposed
TO try and initiate him. Well, here
is the secret of this capitalist
'hero."
Before a slave can get a job on
the lakes he pays one dollar to be-
come member of the welfare
Plan" And the first page of the
book has the secret.
This certificate Of membership is
issued upon the pledge of the appli-
cant to faithfully perform his claw
full duties" whenever engaged on a
vessel in the membership of the
Lake Carriers Association, and sub
ject to revocation for failure thereof.
These Great Lakes vessels operate
under the open-shop plan. The ma
jority of the slaves on the Great
Lakes realize that they are being
robbed. 1t will be hard battle to
get decent conditions. There is a
stumbling block in the way Of the
fight of the seamen for decent
wages, and that is the international
Seamen's Union, a craft union ruled
by reactionaries, which the lake
bosses will use when they see the sea-
men waking up and organizing into
a militant union. But the bosses
will hire only men from the reac-
tionary International Seamen's
Union, so they can use the meeker
slaves to fight the militants. At
present you will find most of the
cld-time Great Lakes seamen in Jail
for they are unable to find work
and are forced to commit some
crime to get food and shelter.

"Iwo Days." Great Movie of
the Revolution, Opens Tonight

The first major production of the
Ukrainian unit of Sovkino, 1.-TWO
Days" will make its first appearance
in America at the Film Arts Cinema
which will open this evening at 81
West Eighth Street.
Hailed by European film critics
as one of the most powerful film
dramas which has come out OF the
Soviet Union it is described variously
as tragic beyond endurance"-"an
inspiration" 1t is significant because
it is the first attempt to create the
drama of the individual against the
background of the revolution as dis
tinguished from such mass pictures
as "Potemkin," "The End of st.
Petersburg" etc.
Produced by WUFKU, Ukrainian
film section of the Soviet govern
ment. 1.-TWO Days" was directed by
Stabavoj who, it is certain, will find
himself famous with American film
audiences, just as was the case with
Eistenstein and Pudowkin, directors
Of "Potemkin" and "The End of St.
Petersburg"
1.-TWO Days" is noteworthy for the
splendid transformations of the
members of the cast. Stabavoj, the
director, has succeeded in creating
a gallery of individual and inter-
related portraits and emphasizing
individual characterizations, making
them, for the moment, more domi-
nant than the background of the
revolution.
On the same program will be the
American premiere of "The Fall of
the House of Usher" an amateur

The arrest of Audrey was the
signal for a reign of terror through
out the city. While Guard troops
rode through the town shooting and
killing. Known revolutionists were
shot on the spot. Women and chill
dren fled Juggling their children
after them. Bodies Uttered the side
walks.
But Audrey was not taken so cas-
lily. When the White Guardists
crashed through the door of the
comrades house, he quickly drew his
revolver and fired. An officer drop
ped on the threhold. His friends re-
turned the fire and shattered An
drey's arm. They pounced on him,
tied him and led him captive to the
Krasnofski mansion where the White
Guard staff was having dinner.
When Audrey was brought in, the
commanding officer did not rise,
but 80:
Bring him over here"
Near the head of the table Paul
sat calmly peeling an apple. The
commanding office spoke to his ad-
jutant:
Question him."
Paul broke in:
"Please-may l speak to him."
The officers laughed and the staff
officer said:
"Yes, by ell means, go ahead"
Slowly and with consummate in
science the boy walked over to An
drey, whose wounded arm hung
Imply at his side. A thin line of
blood ran down his arm and dripped,
dripped, dripped, on to the rich Per-
sian carpet.
"Where is the box"
The Red Army commander did
not answer. He smiled.
The staff officer leaped from the
table and Numbered into Andrey's
face:
Answer
He stood calmly facing his captors
but did not answer.
A fist crashed into his face and
his head snapped back sharply. He
tried to raise his arm to ward off
the blows that followed but he could
not. A shrill, singing noise broke
loose in his head. His face was raw
and sticky.
At this moment old Anton came
into the room. He saw the stagger-
ing form of his son. He saw the
blood On his face.
The boy rushed to him and said:
do you see what we do to trail
tors--do you see?"
Slowly the old man sunk to his
knees. he took PauIs white hands
in his and kissed it devoutly, pas
sionately:
"Please, little MASTER beg you
ask them to stop beating him
for my sake. ;"
Paul tried to draw his hand away
but the old man chung to it tightly:
Little master, do you remember"
he was speaking feverishly, rapidly,
incoi. arently, "do you remember
when I bandaged your head when
you fell that Christmas day, do you
remember
But Paul said nothing and smiled
disdainfully at the bent-over figure
of the old man.
Anton bent lower and kissed the
boys trousers, his shoes. At last
the little master broke loose and
walked away. The old man collapsed
and lay perfectly still.
