OVER ADVANCE EXPLAINED BY
PRESIDENT o + NATIONAL
WOOL MARKETING CORPORA
TEON

E. S. Mayer. President Of Nation
al Wool Marketing Corporation, says
in explanation Of the over-advance;
BY an over-advance is meant when
a grower received more money as
an advance than the average set
Ting price will be on his particular
class OF wool. If the average price
on a certain grade or class OF WOOL
is to be % cents and the grower ac-
tually received 25 cents advance
last year. he will be called upon to
nav back to the association two
cents a pound.
..Tf is not definitely determined
vet how many over advances are 70
occur. because the amount OF over
advances will depend entirely upon
what the average settling price Will
he uDon certain classes of wool.
This average settling price cannot
be determined until all Of the wool
has been disposed Of and the aN-
eraee price figured.
Whereas. grower who was
over-advanced in 1880 will be call
ed upon to make settlement of such
oyer-adyance, the association does
not intend to press him tor I'M
mediate settlement of the advance
The details of the method OF WORK
inc out oyer-advanees has not heeh
finally decided upon as those details
have been left TO the executive COM
mittee and that committee has not
vet compiled them. The plan that
was suggested by the directors ans
which in all probability will be put
into effect is that a grower Will pc
permitted to pay off the oyer-ad-
vance Immediately, if he desires. III
case lie cannot or does not desire
to do this. he will be given any
length of time up 10 FIVE years 10
rav it off making the first payment
in 1882. followed by three more
annual payments in consecutive
wears making total of four pay
ments within five years. This meth
cd will not work any hardship on
any grower and will permit htm TO
work out the difficulty with ease.
"Thare will be no money with
held on 1881 advances to be usec
for paving off 1880 over advances.
Definite assurance Of this has been
made. This Of course means that
1881 monies will not be withheld
unless the grower wishes TO do SO
and gives us instructions to that ef-
feet.
another point which needs
clearing up is that any grower who
has not yet received his full settle +
ment for last years wool or in oth-
er words a grower who was under
advanced last year will receive the
full amount Of the average settling
price for his wools The underad-
vances or monies thus due TO one
member will not be withheld to pay
oyer-adyances TO another member.
or for any other purposes. Neither
will the members be generally as
sessed in order to make good the
over-adyances Of this association.
The statement goes on TO say that
each grower is expected to stand on
his own feet and make good against
any over advances which he recelv-
ed. which is the law on all tests of
this sort as determined in the courts
and which is plain common sense as
a matter Of equity. The rule ap-
plies also to growers who consl2h
ed their woods through the ware
houses

no clothes to wear and we have no
boots. We lost our health on account
Of starving, not able to get proper

So we are all united together, the
Castro miners and their families,
fighting starvation. We are out to
win and we need food and clothes
to enable us to win and get living

to many different mining camps this
summer to nurse cases of flux among
children, finding the cause of flux
being no account of no proper nour-
iGhment. Hundreds of mothers have
lost their children this last summer
by not being able to get proper nour-
ishment for them.
Dear comrades, I aim to do every
thing can in this fight against star

TACOMA, Wash.--At the smelter
in Ruston and many other mills the
workers recently got 10 per cent
wage cuts all around,
Because the workers are morgan
ICED the bosses are trying TO slash
their pay still further by approaching
them individually and telling them
that there will be more work for
them if they work for wages lower
than the existing ones.
The workers are now beginning to
see lies and trickery OF the bosses in
trying to force the wages to star
walton level. Due to unemployment
and part time work it is very hard
for the workers to feed their families.
The workers here are beginning to
realize the need of organization TO
fight against further enroachment on
their wages.

CHICAGO, I'LL am going to show
an example OF what 1t means to or
ganize in demanding aid from char
tiles. Last week Unemployed Coun-
Gil Branch z, took lady comrade
to the United Charities. This COM
rade has three children and a sick
husband. We presented the creden-
tials to the bosses tool to read. She
told us to be seated as there were
others before us. She gave us num-
Der and said wait until 1t is called.
We comrades did not say anything,
but she must have read the express
sion on our faces for she said, AL
right, alright, but we must investi-
gate first"
We answered that our committee
did all the investigation necessary
and it would be useless to do any
more. She called the supervisor. He
told us to return tomorrow and he
would help this case out.
Five of us returned the following
morning. The supervisor gave us a
written order to another place where
they offered the needy woman COM
rade SIS worth Of food, which only
cost three dollars.
We demanded four dollars cash
and we got 1t for her, also we put in
an order for clothing and coal and
our Unemployed Council will see she
gets 1t too.

American WOODEN Co. In Two days
time it spread to all the major tex
tile mills in Lawrence. At present
there are some $4,000 workers on
strike. Out Of these three are some
30 to 40 Per cent young workers who
are the most militant fighters in the
strike.
The conditions OF these workers
and especially the young workers, are
extremely bad in the factories. Long
hours, tremendous speed and miser-
able working conditions in the fac
tories and then very poor wages even
before this announced wage-cut
These facts account for the great
militsncy Of these young workers on
the picket lines, etc.
Young Workers Lead
It was the young workers who were
the first to go on strike and they
took the most important part in the
spreading Of the strike. One whole
department from the Wood Mill en-
ploying great number of youth were
the first to declare strike and they
became the established leader in the
spreading of the strike throughout
the mill and spreading it into the
Aver. Mill. .os.ta
The A. of L., brought in by the
bosses to betray and sell out the
strike, is playing true to its role Of
absolutely ignoring the young work
ers on strike, having no program Of
struggle for these young workers and
using this fact Of split the ranks Of
the workers in order to be better able
to defeat the strike.

Union was the organizer Of the strike

the strike. Now after the workers

Wy - ttOlhCE SUAkNoPOhuC1AtJ
NEW YORK.-The taxi drivers have
been used to good advantage during
sEs election campaigns. Jhen James
=. Walker was running for mayor for
the first time the hackmen were or
ganized into "Our Jimmie Clubs" and
when Our Jimmie was eletced under
direct police control They were fin
gerprinted and registered on criminal
identification cards. Under this sys-
tenn the fleet owners are able to have
a real black list of taxi drivers.
A General Motors Commission
Walker also appointed commission
in 1880 to investigate the cab in
dustry. 1t was not for the purpose Of
helping us drivers, however. The re-
port proves this. 1t speaks of a mono
poly and franchise for the most
financially responsible party, which
proves that the commission was ap-
pointed at the behest Of the General
Motors.
The commission did not find 1t
necessary to say anything about the
IL hour day and the measly SIS
weekly pay. Not a word about the
discrimination in the courts and on
the streets or about the jimcrowing
OF Negroes into special garages.
When the commission spoke OF the
franchise. they did not take into con-
sideration the 10000 that would be
thrown out Of work thereby. nor did
they mention the strict blacklist.

scheduled to meet again, but after

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. The s. s.
Harbourg of the Hamburg American
Lines arrived in Philadelphia Satur-
day from Boston where she was de-
layed for four days due to the fact
that the longshoremen of Local 300
are out on strike against the last
wage-cut the stevedor bosses and the
officials OF the International Long
shoremen Association tried to put over
on them. The crew of the Harburg
showed their solidarity by refusing to
handle cargo.
The result was that the shipowners
had to send the ship to Philadelphia
to discharge Boston cargo. The I. L.
A. sent union men to unload this ship
This Is the policy Of the I. L. A.

ship, but the I. L. A. did not take any
action.
