mere I1OSI Ol LIIG IllllEIo
Miners Union and we're ready to walk
out on strike. The bosses of this
mine at once called on the UMWA
to come and sign up the mine. They
made all kinds of fake concessions
and by the help of these reactionaries
they succeeded in fooling the miners
to enter into a contract.
When we take into consideration
that this mine and other mines or
ganized at this time with the consent
of the mine owners and before this
the miners were allowed to shift for
themselves and work on an open shop
basis, we can see the degraded con-
dition that the UMWA is now in.
1t is an open scab hearding organiza-
ton sanctioned by the bosses to
crush the rank and file movement Of
the miners now being organized to
better their conditions.
A miner of New philadelphia, Ohio
a member Of the UNFWA local in
that ssction-told me he loaded ID
tons of coal for Sc. He works two
days a week and barely exists,
Threaten Organizer
Two organizers who ATTEMPTED to
organize this section into the Ma
tional Miners Union were threatened
with arrest by the Marshall-who by
the way was the president of that
section of the UNfWA. But through
his reactionary tactics he got himself
unloaded from the local by the rank
and file of the miners.
Rebellion against the reactionary
nisleaders of the UMWA is rife in
the fields that visited.
Last winter in the same fields there
were eight deaths caused by starva-
ton, according to the physicians who
attended them. All the small cities
and towns in this territory are in
debt and the workers living in them
cannot furnish the relief necessary to
keep the fields free from starvation.
Yesterday a truckload of food left
for Bridgeport, Ohio, from Akron to
relieve and aid the striking miners.
The need of food in this field to keep
the miners on the picket line should
by this time be realized by all labor
organizations and workers every
where.
Increase Relief Work
The Akron section of the Miners
Relief is planning new activities to
increase the relief work in this sec
ton. A relief station has been or
ganized in Barberton, o.
1t might be well to cite a couple
of cases of excellent work done by
workers here in helping the miners
to keep up their fight.
A middle aged woman comrade,
who works two days a week at 81
a day and who has to support an
invalid husband and two children,
spends her spare time working for
the Miners Relief. She gathered two
baskets OF groceries and collected
1878 in money and had only one
pound of coffee in her home to take
care of her family over Sunday of
the same week.
Another comrade, who was dis
eliminated against because he sells
the Daily Worker and was threatened
with the workhouse last winter be-
cause he refused to sell apples is also
one of the hardest workers in that
district gathering relief for the
strikers.

Ex-Servicemen Kicked
Out of Hospital Clinic
(By a Worker Correspondent

STOCKTON, Calif.-The writer,
an ex-soldier, went to the San
Joquain Clinic to have a tooth filled.
The Clinic people sent him to the
San Joquain Hospital. At the hos
pital they refused to fill it. Told
him he was not paying for 1t.
The ex-soldier protested, saying:
81 will leave the chair only on one
of three conditions; first that you
fill the tooth, or second that you
give me slip stating you do not
fill teeth, or third that you throw
me out bodily" They called DR..
Friedberger's bouncers. The ex-ser-
viceman left the clinic without his
feet touching the floor.
It was a seven-mile hike. But it
was worth 1t. And this is the dem
ocracy" we fought for.

more, and being afraid that there
might develop some labor trouble,
they called in the takers from the
A. F. Of L. The takers protested
the wage-cut and the lay-offs, made
fuss, got together with the city
boss, the mayor, and few aldermen
to arbitrate the case. Finally the A.
F. of L., after calling on the workers
not to strike, stating that the I'M
employed would take their jobs if
they did, turned the whole case over
to the Chamber of Commerce which
has on it all the wage-cutting bosses
in the city including the owners of
the street-car line. The A. F. of L.
said they could do nothing for the
workers.
What will be the answer? eyes,
it's hell" say many of the carmen.
Why the A. F. of L. when we have
something better?" Quite a few of
the carmen are talking about the
Trade Union Unity League.
Driven From Homes
And they have reasons to talk real
organization. Fifteen hundred men,
women and children in this city are
living in boxes, dugouts and paper
sheds, sleeping on newspapers and
blankets along the Mississippi River
Many of these workers were mem
bers of the A. F. of L. Some 200
March starts at BonsalI and Clear
ground few weeks ago by the police
because these workers dared to talk
organization.
Must Organize
The Trade Union Unity League is
getting on the job to organize the
unemployed to fight for bread and
shelter. The street carmen must not
fear the unemployed as scabs, but
join them in their struggles in the
TUUL for unemployment insurance.
The unemployed are in turn ling
organized to help the street IN
in their struggles against tt IS
and the A. F. of l.. and t. city
government.
Only the workers themselves can
solve the workers problems. BY
struggling and fighting together, both
black and white, against the master
class we will then become the mas
tiers ourselves.

I Manufacturing Service was establish ed by the late Elizeard Perreault who up to about one year ago per- sonally supervised the business as- sisted by his son, Joseph. Under the capable management of Elizeard and Joseph Perreault and their policy of square dealing, the busi- ness has achieved the distinction of being the largest of its nature in the. state. During the past year Joseph Perreault, or Joe" as he is better known to the motoring public has ablely continued the work started by his father almost a score of years lago.
 The Perreaults' nineteen years in this line of business, handling about all the work of this nature in Wa terbury and vicinity has given them a practical knowledge that is unsur- passed. Joseph Perreault has made la thorough study of the construction of automobiles and keeps abreast of times with yearly visits to the auto mobile factories in Detroit.

Over nineteen years in Waterbury is the record of servitude compiled
 by F. Perreault Spring & Manufac- turing Service, well known automo- bile spring makers, who operate q

 This service plant has the distinc- tion of being one of the most suc- cessful in the automobile line in the city to-day. This success is attribut- ed to square dealing and is "Giving 2 the public dollars worth for a dol lar"

best bouts available. and Promoter
Ernie stephens is justly proud OF
the lineup.
II Is the kind OF bill he has been
angling for for several weeks, and
o he has landed ID. Each OF the
four principals is a headliner in
his own right. and each is expected
TO draw heavy play. Brown has not
been seen in the Valley for some
time. but created quite a sensation
upon his previous appearance. Since
that time he has improved a hun
ored per cent. according TO press
notices. and the Mexican will no
doubt give the Irishman a heavy
battle Thursday night. However. Pat
states the tougher they are the bet
ter he likes them. 50 the bout should
turn out full Of action. Craig will
meet the toughest OPPOSITION OF his
Showings here when he meets
Guthrie. who holds wins over such
men as Billy Edwards and Able
Coleman. However. Craig also has
beaten some OF the best. and to-
morrow nights semi-final should be
more than interesting. Both mec
are scrapDers, and no doubt the
match will be a rough affair.
