''Debs Not a Liberal
But a Red" Worker
Tells Newspaper

HONDO, Calif-Instead of fighting
the battles for Gene Debs while he
was alive, the government Of a So
called liberal, a mule-d driving demo-
crat, sent him to Jail. But now, after
his death, the liberals want to claim
Debs as their own flesh and blood,
so to speak The writer has sent the
editors of the Los Angeles Record
and the Open Forum a note, reading
as follows:
"Sir:-Earlier today I sent you a
200word article against the mislead-
ing label, liberal, fastened on Gene
Debs by a Record writer, Daggett.
This afternoon the same thing was
repeated in connection with the visit
of Sheriff L. Jeff Dunagan at your
office.
"Debs was not color-blind, so why
paint him in false colors? He knew
the difference between yellow and
red. The liberals admire the former,
Debs loved the latter. Gene was
neither liberal nor a social fascist.
He was q real socialist, a follower of
Karl Marx, author of Das Kapital-
the bible of the proletariat
IF Debs had added more Leninism
to his Marxism, that would have
made him a Communist. Commu-
nism is a higher form of Socialism. "

Dear Conrade:-
have come to the conclusion that

curb the terrific drive the bosses are
putting over the workers here in
the auto industry and give us week
or two work then lay us off. Then
let us wait around couple of weeks
and call us back. Then advertise in
the capitalist papers they are hiring
men.
This is what they are doing here
in Detroit to get people to buy cars.
They are also using the alibi that
long service men in their employ will
be back first. worked there for four
years. They have been playing this
stagger system with me and they told
me that there was lots with longer
service than 1 had out of job. Then
wound up by saying that to give me
q job they would have to lay off
somebody with about the same length
Of service had with them and said
they would call me when they had

EDNA MINERS WIN
PARTIAL VICTORY
National Miners Union

Recognition of the existence of the

no work on idle days (Which means
the end OF Mule" days for the
miners of Edna No. 2, and the
solidifying of the ranks for future

led by the National Miners Union,
section of the Trade Union Unity
League.
The hopes of the Hillman Coal Co..
one of the largest coal corporations
in the United States, that they would
play out the Edna miners, we're
smashed last week when the superin-
tendent sent for the strike committee
and informed them that the company
was willing to open the mine under
the aforementioned conditions.
Advertised Wage Cuts Withdrawn.
Although the operators were aided
in their attempt to smash the miners
militant ranks by Philip Murray,
vice president of Lewis reactionsry
United Mine Workers of America, the
strike was marked with victory from
its very inception. This was EVIL
denced by the withdrawal of adyer-

by the miners Of the Tomajko Coal

FORCE BANK
TO CONCEDE
Worker Depositors to
Be Represented

NEW YORK. -The aggressive fight
led by the United Depositors Com
lnittee of the Bank Of United States
has led to some results. Through
the pressure of the workers repre-
sented in this committee, Mr.. Rosoff
and with him Mr.. Satterlee,S have
been forced to come to terms.
These gentlemen, surely not friends
OF the worker and small depositors,
have agreed payment in full for the
small depositors. This means that
every depositor who had up to $3.50
in the bank will be paid in full. The
United Depositors Committee is guar
anteed representation on the new
Board Of Directors.
At the meeting of the United De-
poSitors Committee held in the. Hayas
Building, last Tuesday, the commit
tee went on record favoring rather
the Rosoff plan than the SteueI
plan-but this on condition that the
ABOVE enumerated demands are fully
complied with.
The United Depositors Committee
is preparing number of mass meet
ings Of the workers and small de-
positors, to ratify the terms placed
before Rosoff. The purpose of the
meeting shall also be to unite larger
masses round the United Depositors
Committee and to safeguard the in
terests of the small depositcrs. The
worker and small depositors must re-
main on guard. They must strength.
en- their organization. They must
draw in more worker depositors, TO,
only in this way will they be able
to force the state and the board OF
directors 10 pay any attention to the
interests of the smaller depositors.

Frank Estrada, proprietor of the Grand Cafe. A bevy of high school girls under the direction of Miss Helen Lund, served course after course as an earnest to all the guests of the heartieSt hospitality of the Petersburg Post.
 More than 120 merry-makers sat down together for season of mutual felicitation and relax ation following the more serious business sessions and a surcease from reports, resolutions, elec- tions and whatever else is done in conventions. Past Command CT Frederick Nelson of Peters burg acted as toastmaster and presented to the assembly, one after another, both the retiring and incoming officers.
