THE BAREFOOT BOY

DOSING before the camera bare
foot and with ''turned-up panta-
looms just to make the matter con-
elusive. a retired Lutheran preach
er of Nebraska, recently got his
name and his picture in the papers
as the original Barefoot Boy who in
spired the American poet, John
Greenleaf Whittier, to write his we'll
known praises of carefree boyhood
out in the country. An examination
of the details of his life, however,
and the circumstances under which
Whittier wrote his poem. lead to
the conclusion that the Nebraskan
and the barefoot boy could not have
been one and the same person.
This preacher states that he came
to America from the old country in
1862. Whittier is known to have
written THE Barefoot Boy" while
he was editing the Middlesex Stand
ard at Lowell. Mass, and to have
taken his theme from seeing a boy
there starting out to his days work
in the field, rake over shoulder. 1t
is a matter of record that Whittier
edited the Middlesex Standard for
six months, starting in the fall of
1915, nearly twenty years before the
preacher ever saw the shores of this
country. Is it not more logical, and
more pleasing, to suppose that Whit
tiers model is the very spirit of
boyhood itself, viewing the world
through unspoiled eyes.

FRANKIE AND JOHNNY

.tGERANKIE and Johnny were low
L ers" goes a familiar song, and
few of its many singers perhaps
know that frankie and Johnny were
real lovers, who lived in the negro
section of st. Louis not so long ago,
and that frankie is still alive,
thick-set colored woman, now fifty
nine years old, with grazing hair
and a razor scar received some forty
years ago across one cheek.
frankie herself is not prone to dis
cuss how she got her man who
done her wrong" but the facts of
the case may be dug UP out of va
rious police, morgue and hospital
records and shaped into a readable
If sOrdid tale. Allen Britt, later
Albert and still later Johnny, came
TO st. Louis with his parents in 1891,
and there, at an Orange Blossom
ball met frankie Baker, handsome,
but ten years his senior and formed
for her his fatal attachment.
One night frankie found Johnny
in the ill-lighted hallway of the
Phoenix hotel lavishingly on a
pretty negress named Alice Pryor
the attentions she claimed exclu-
sively as her own, took him home,
and as the climax of violent quar-
rel which lasted all night shot him
with his own gun just as he was
advancing on her with a drawn
knife. Fatally wounded, Johnny
staggered to his own home where
his father called the police and his
mother an ambulance to take him
to the hospital. He died four days
later and his funeral was a gala
affair, well attended. Almost imme-
diately after, the wretched affair
was beng celebrated in song, and
frankie, freed of the tolls of the
law. bore herself with the pride of
wrong well avenged.

In the heart of the industrial
South, at the threshold of the Black
Belt, the workers are again in ac-
ton. A few hundred strikers at High
Point, North Carolina, started a
movement that spread like wildfire
throughout the Piedmont area. In a
few hours there we're not less than
$4,000 strikers and unemployed
standing shoulder to shoulder against
the bosses.
This is one of the many events
that show that new tide of
struggle is rising throughout the
country. One after another the
capitalist fighting weapons that are
used against the working class are
proving ineffective. Open terror and
murder such as we have seen in a
score of places, the increasing lynch
drive against the Negro masses of
the South, the deportation orgy of
Doak in his attack against the for
eign- born--all this has failed to stem
the rising tide of working class mil
itancy.
On every hand there is evidence
Of the forward surge OF the masses.

as these:
They had received in some case six
wage cuts in 1881:
Over half of them were unem-

Practically every employed south
ern textile worker was working on
part-time, which in the south often
meant one day a month.
The southern textile magnates, as

on cutting out all night work, which
meant unemployment for scores OF
thousands more.

FRAME STRIKER,
HOMICIDE CHARCE
w in S t ein Held for
$4,000 Bail

NEW YORK, July 20.-Samuel
Weinstein, chairman of the strike
committee at the Muskin Manufac-
turing Co., was framed today on a
homicide charge. The frame-up is
the result of Weinsteins activity in
the strike of the Furniture Workers
Industrial Union.
The case upon which Weinstein
has been framed arose out of the al
legged beating up of Harry Weissglass
and his wife, Sophia. The charge of
homicide offered itself to the bosses
when Mrs. Weissglass died.
Weinstein states that he has moth
ing to do with ten murder and had
no knowledge of it until the charges
were placed against him. He was
picked up on the picket line in front
of the Muskin factory at 1872 Throop
Ave-, Brooklyn. Proskin, one of the
bosses who often threatened to throw
Weinstein into Jail, pointed him out
10 the arresting officer.
Weinstein is being held for $4,000
bail in the Bronx jail The hearing
of the case has been postponed until
July 26.
The New York District of the In
ternational Labor Defense brands this
as deliberate attack on the Furni-
ture Workers Industrial Union.
Stern, the District Organizer, stated
that this is an attempt to single out
and frame the leaders of the strike,
with the aim of smashing it.
Weinstein was held incommuni-
cado. Allan Taub, LID. lawyer, was
refused permission to see him yester-
day.
