MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi wish to
inform the readers Of the Daily
Worker about the 500 Line Railroad
in Minneapolis.
You may recall the 1922 railroad
strike which was lost through the
treacherous leadership Of the A. F.
of L. After the strike the company
formed its own union composed Of
cheap scabs. Later the strikers were
called back to work and in year or
so the foremen had many lined up
in the company union through prom
lses Of Jobs, etc.
Fined Wholesale
Then after the Wall Street crash
the company cut off the Saturday
working hours. Then they told the
workers that they must work an
hour less each day with an hours
reduction in pay or lose their jobs.
A little later they cut another hour
off. we were working six hours q
day then and on May 81, 1881 we
got a real big bundle of Hoover's
prosperity, IS per cent Of all the men
in the shops were laid off. Still later,

Did Not Disagree But
Feared Workers
Would Act

Of the 20 labor ministers were with
Mac Donald in favor of cutting un-
employment insuN~nce land with
them was enderson). But he points
out that the mistake of Mac Donald,
Snowden and Thomas was that they
obviously failed to understand how
the working masses felt about the
entire mater" Realizing they must
put over the cut in order to help ca
pitalsm, Henderson was commits
stoned to do his share by keeping
back the workers. Cahan points out
that the reason Henderson was fit
ted to do this was because "he comes
more in contact with the rank and
file, with the masses, and he was a
nearer, more practical understand
ing Of the real situation and the ma
ture Of people. Therefore the break
between them came" A simple d.
vision Of socialist betrayal. The Job

NEW HAVEN, Conn.-Some hot
air merchant spread around a report
that the Safety Car Heating Co. in
the town of Hamden was going to
start off on aircraft production and
business was coming back. Ispruced
Nd and hiked out there, distance
OF three miles.
When I went into the employment
office the woman in charge immedi-
ately picked up the wire. Before I
had time to think a cop came bound
ing in. He rushed at me with his
club.
Don't be hanging around here"
he said.
Are there any prospects for a
job?" I said.
None at ALL said the life and

STOCKTON, Gala Mexican wo-
man, with several small children,
having been served with q three day
eviction notice, came to the Unem-
ployed Council to see what we could
do about it. We had only the day

The woman at the welfare got sar-

PITTSBURGH, Pal was sent as
delegate from the Food Workers
Industrial Union to the Workers In
te-national Relief Conference which
was held here in Pittsburgh.
I visited the coal mines and the
conditions the miners undergo are
something awful. In one town that
I visited, a town by the name of
Henderson, the miners and their
fcmilies had nothing else to eat all
day but potatoes and black coffee.
The children walk around without
shoes. Many of the miners are liv-
lng in tents in the fields and many
of the tents are full Of holes. All the
miners and their families can do is

cases now. The conference will send
committee to the county commits
sioners to demand the release of all
striking miners, and will organize a
demonstration. 1t will also plan the
campaign to collect thousands of
signatures to lists demanding release
Of the prisoners. Collection lists to
raise money for bail for these cases
and for their defense are being cir
culated

tee three times week. is devoted
to rallying support for the release of
the Canonsburg defendants who we're
convicted last week in Washington,
Pa and for the release of the rest
Of the miners indicated there. 1t
brings out an interesting feature of
the trial not known until today, be-
cause Of the drastic secrecy main
tanned by the authorities during the
trial and the difficulty of communi-
eating with the defendants, who
we're practically incommunicado while
waiting trial and during the trial.
The capitalist papers here made a
great fuss over what they described
as the nervous condition" of Stella
Rasefske, nineteen-year- old girl
leader Of the miners children and
active relief worker, one of those
convicted. Stella, so far as the re-
porters for the labor press could OBJ
serve, was not particularly nervous,
but the capitalist press reporters un-
doubtedly thought, because of some
private information given to them
by the authorities, that she should
be nervous.
The facts as they now appear show
that indeed, she would normally be
expected to be nervous, If not by
sterical. Apparently definite at
tempt was made by the jailers placed
over her by the coal operators to
either drive her out of her mind or
get her killed outright. The night
before she went on trial the jailers
placed an insane woman in Stella's
cell. This lunatic began by dousing
Stella with bling coffee and then
chased her around the cell all night,
threatening to kill her. Stella's
screams were disregarded by the
jailers and guards, and the insane
woman was not taken out until Stella
went to trial the next day. But
though they wouldn't turn their
hands to save Stella from the lunatic,
they apparently told the capitalist
press the story.
GOLFERS, West Va, Sept "A
woman and man, members Of a
relief collecting committee Of Local
1l6 of the National Miners Union
which is on strike here, are in Weir
ton Jail and were to come up for a
hearing Sept. 1. They we're shot at
by rich farmer, who found them
coming on his land to ask for food
for the starving strikers. The farmer
is not being tried, the victims of his
anger are being tried, on the charge
of stealing peach. Fortunately, the
shot missed them.

 BUYER FINDS
Miss Halvorsen Tells of Late Modes Tn Dress
 and Millinery

Stabilization of lengths in day time dresses, an objective for which the costumers of Europe and Am erica have been striving for the past two years, has at last been accomplished, according to Miss Halvorsen of Halvorsen's Store, who has just returned from a buying trip to New York and other east ern cities.
 Much interest has been shown in Canton crepes," Miss Halvorsen said, and it will undoubtedly be the outstanding dress material, al- though satin and transparent vel vet have won favor for all types of dressy and formal wear, in which is sponsored the modified Second Empire effect in both leg O mutton sleeve and the modifica- tion of the hustle l. wool day ensembles grow in importance, also, featuring the light weight wools and knitted suits"
 Ecru, Irish and other lace trim mings are universally revised and used with lavish hand, said MISS Halyorsen. Also touches of oriental embroidery, frogging, braiding, and velvet ribbon trim are shown Tn i the newest modes.
 i Dark Colors for Fall 1 The chosen color range for fall is black and brown with a small showing of blue and green for con- trast. Coats have many high points of interest, chiefly the sleeve de- tail-the dolman and reduced leg O mutton. The newest spongy woolens in the boucle weaves-the deep. soft, rough surfaces of the coat materials for 1881 and l932- are refreshingly different. , Waistlines will be normal once again, giving the natural curves to the figure. Drop shoulders and raglan cut will be seen in the ma
 iority of coats-"lei' collar and the new deep wrap-around buttoning at the side.
 Renaissance Millinery Motif
 In millinery, said Miss Halvor- sen, feather trims are outstanding
 Felts constitute the main styles
 The Renaissance Period-the most
 brilliant epoch in millinery as well
 as in other lines or art-brings us
 something novel and pleasingly different.
 : The smart furs include Persian : lamb, beaver, Japanese mink, black : wolf, kalinsky and fox. Miss Halvorsen has been gone . from Juneau more than a month having left here July 3. She traV' eled east via Chicago and return ed by way of Montreal.

 Douglas, he argued, is entitled 10 access to the road system cen tering here on the mainland. It can only have it if bridge is con- structed. We do not criticize any one for building your system. We are glad you have it and hope you get more. But we want and think we are entitled to an oppor- tunity to share in it." he added.
 To Draft Resolution
 The Chamber today approved a recommendation by it's Board of Directors that it join Douglas in presenting a joint resolution to the United States Forest Service, urg- ing prompt consideration of the needs for such a bridge and early construction. H. B. LeFeyre, who supported MT. Gallwas in his plea, declared: "It means more to Ju- neau than it does to Douglas, and it is the latters life blood" At his motion, the President was authorized to appoint a special committee to handle the matter.
