one can quickly see what the situa

the farms and regions which cannot
produce as economically as can the
others as we see it, will drop out of the
picture and until that time does come,
agriculture will not have a bright
future. Readjusted industry condi-
tons will do much to help the situa-
ton as it will bring about greater
consumption. An organized agricul-
ture throughout the nation which

tons, church and fraternal.
A telegram was received from

Rejecting the influence of the
white boss lynchers over the reform

Monday refused the floor to Mrs.

liant struggle for Negro Rights and

and, on the same day, at Pineville,
KY, w. B. Jones, secretary of a local
U. M. w. union at Evarts was arrest
ed on murder charge.
The U. M. W. district and local
leaders had also been welcoming the
militia, and the district Office of the
~. M. w. held a conference with
Governor Sampson and invited him to
send in the soldiers. But a corpora
ton knows no gratitude, even for the
propaganda, so useful to the mine
owners, by which the u M. w. lead
ers got some Of the miners to promise
to work with the militia"
The arrest of Cawood indicates
that Sheriff j. H Blair is taking the
opportunity to kill off legally one of
his political enemies. Blair is an
out and out operators man, and
leads the deputized mine guards. In
the last election, Cawood defeated
him for the Office of sheriff of Harlan

tricks and had the Office taken away
from Cawood and turned over to
him.

NEW STRIKE IN
LAWRENCE, MASS.
AGAINST PAY CUT
Boss Took Advantage
of Failure to Keep
Up Mill Committee

LAWRENCE, Mass, May 10.-The
curtain department of the print
works, part of the Pacific Mill here,
went out on strike against wage
cut of 25 to so per cent, Monday.
This department employs only women
and all of them came out on strike.
The bosses tried to stampede the
workers back with the age old story
I'VE are going to discontinue the de-
partment." 1t didn't work The
workers are wise to this trick. Be
cause of the vicious red menace
propaganda by the city officials, the
local pay-triots and especially the
strike breakers, Fathers" Mcdonald
and Milanese, against the National
Textile Workers Union since the
strike, in February, the strikers re-
fused direct leadership of the union.
Under the leadership of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union the
workers of this mill have succeeded
in stopping one lay-off after an
other in the past months. During
the time that the mill committee, or
ganized by the National Textile Work
ers' Union, functioned in this mill
the bosses didn't dare introduce a
wage cut.
The American Textile Union, Inc, -
organized by bosses pets of the Print
Jerks, in opposition to the National
1,;tile Workers Union, has fully ex-
cd itself as a scab outfit. 1t made
attempt whatsoever to support the
s. ikars. 1t did say. however, through
IS leaders: To hell with them, they
didn't want to join our union a cou-
pie of weeks ago"
n. 7. w. Leaflet.
The National Textile Workers
Union has issued a leaflet to all
! the workers of the Print Works
calling upon them to support the
strike. The leaflet reads in part:
1.-THE wage cut the curtain depart
ment has received is the beginning
Of a drive by the bosses of the
Print Works to cut wages in every
department. All the workers In
every department must get to-
gether. They should elect commit
tees of three TO five workers. All
the elected committees should go to
the office at one time with the de-
mands of the strikers. This should
be done Immediately! If the office
refuses TO grant the demands of
the strikers-every worker in the
print works should join the strike"
Immediately the bosses called ;

Take Man Off Job
For Deportation
Conference To Fight
Terror May Is

NEW YORK.-The bosses no longer
satisfied with deporting those work
ers only, who through unemploy-
ment have become subject to public
charge" are broadening the attacks
against the foreign born and taking
them directly from the job.
A worker employed on a dredge in
Delaware River was taken directly
from the job after working two weeks
and held for deportation together
with Is other workers from Phils-
delphia. Large groups of miners from
the coal fields are held at the same
place, many of them married and
with children whom they have TO
leave behind to starve.
The food they receive is of the
worst possible kind, 10 cents day
being allowed to food them, but az
ter the grafters get through there is
not much left. They are locked in
small cells and are only allowed to
go out on the balcony for an hour
