The popular Chicken Inn on the Salmon river road, built by Mrs. Helen Bell and Mrs. Flor ence Smith and operated by them last year, was reopened this week by Miss Cora Toll efson, who has leased the premises.
 Eugene Murphy, a miner, we'll known in the district, was killed some time last Friday night by falling from the planked road near the bound ry line onto the sharp rocks below. The body was found at 9 a. m. by Edward Lawrence Casey and was then cold, in- dicating that death had oc- cured several hours before.

USE POLICY OF
UNITED FRONT

The policy now proposed IS that
although our unions should take
the initiative and provide the ex-
perienced forces to organize unem-
ployed committees and councils in
he different industries, these
groups are not to be just auxi-
liaries of the industrial union, but
should pursue united front policy
from the very beginning, and Or
ganize and involve in the move
ment the workers in their trade.
irrespective Of affiliation, organized
or morganized. We have begun
to organize unemployed councils
that are formally independent, and
TO use flexible methods.
For instance, when we try to Or
ganize the unemployed on Sixth
Avenue against the gyp agencies,
this is a specific problem. It is
different from the problem on the
waterfront or in the day rooms of
the building trades union, or the
printers, etc, or where we have
markets, like the needle trades.
Then also we have what is called
white collar workers, who have
their own illusions about dignity,
etc. They don't like the name I'M
employed council, and they like to
call themselves Unemployed Asso-
citation. What is wrong with it?
You have got to take into con-
sideration the theology and habits
of these workers When we organize
and not to try to command that
they should organize just as we
prescribe,
ONE more point on the question
" OF organization. This resolu-
ton proposes the establishment Of
a distinct apparatus for the ac-
tivities amongst the unemployed.
This must not be done as in the
past when we often elected COM
nlittee that arraneed q meeting,
issued a leaflet, and that was the
end of it, but we must assign, from
experienced forces in the T.U.UL.
unions and oppositions, comrades
who will consider this to be their
union work
know that some of these things
have been decided in resolutions,
but nobody worried how they are
to maintain themselves, how they
are to live, and where they are
to eat, because there is a differ
ence between one who gives all his
time to organize and one who looks
for a job. Very often the active
workers who have had experience,
were not given the same consider
alton as the union functionaries.
A part of this entire proposition
must be that we must provide for
those comrades active in unem-
ployed work, even as far as COL
lecting food, establishing food sta
tons, etc. We must have core
of workers active in the unemploy-
ed field. We cannot establish sys-
tematic work in this line without

NEW YORK. - The strikes and
struggles carried on by the Laundry
Workers Industrial Union stopped
cuts and firings in all shops pene-
trated by the union. The bosses are
angry, particularly over the solidarity
of the Negro and white workers, ex-
pressed in the organization Of the
inside workers, most of whom are
Negroes.
Negro and White Solidarity
In a recent strike in the FairWay
Laundry, which was won by the I'M
ion, all the workers went out for
the reinstatement of a Negro girl.
At the Mirrolike Loundry the inside
workers put through stoppage when
their boss threatened TO lock out the
drivers. The boss's latest trick is
to break the solidarity of the drivers
at the expense of the inside workers.

AND now let us take look at the
n American. colleagues Of these
traitors. What is their role in this
war situation? On the whole they
would prefer to keep silent about
these wars in South America; it is
no affair of theirs, OF no concern to
the workers of the United States.
For over six months the workers
and peasants of Bolivia and Para
quay have been driven to the
slaughter on the battlefields Of
Gran Chaco, murdered and gassed
by munitions and war materials
supplied by the U. s., and other
imperialists. Hardly q word from
the S. P. officialdom, when even
the capitalist newspapers carried
screaming headlines: Thirty
Thousand Killed In Last Three
Battles In Chaco!"; Peaceful VIII

But when protests against these
wars, raised by the Anti-Imperial-
list League and other working class
organizations, forced them to say
something, Norman Thomas came
out with an editorial (''New Lead

tempt for the workers struggles
and sufferings. and brazen support
of the imperialists is worthy OF the

starts as follows:
"War in South America, more
serious war in Asia, there is not
much to make this q happy New
Year" Alas, poor reverend! What
a sad beginning for 1888!
Should not the workers be made
to realize who is responsible for
that war? Can and should the
workers do something about it?
How and in what manner should
the workers oppose and fight this
war? and what about the Wall

Mr.. Thomas proceeds: "The only

the fact that at last the Marines
are being taken cut of Nicaragua"

feels that it could depend on the

PRETEND NOT TO KNOW
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

Thus the Socialist deputy, Troll
tino, declared in the Bolivian Par
lament on Aug. 5th: "The world
paradox consists in the fact that
humanity does not want war and
is preparing for it it is diff
ficult to ascertain concretely what
are the forces that are striving for
war" And this is echoed by the
other Socialist leaders in Bolivia,
Paraguay, etc.
The leading Socialists and re-
formist elements of all shades in
Colombia call upon the workers not
to engage in strikes which might
threaten the security of the country
thus guaranteeing the bosses a
free hand in carrying out the
bloody war which is against the
interests of the working class.
Gaiten, leader of the "left'' Liberal
Party parading as Socialist, is
now touring South America and
Mexico in an effort to enlist sup

tool Of American imperialism.
