Everyone is crocheting and
knitting nowadays. And why
shouldn't they when they can
make such lovely things as
this afghan with a matching
pillow, and this rug, which
will do equally well in bed
room or bathroom? The afghan,
usually lovely in design-it is
adapted from the well-known
Spider Web quilt design-is
simple to make. Made in sepa-
rate blocks, which then are
joined together with small
squares and triangles, it is good
pickup work. The afghan, as
shown, is done in three shades
of rose (any other color is
equally good) and black. This
design lends itself to a car

his approval of the apparent high

Torrington, Feb 19.-As Febru-

crews were sent out to the woods
and the boys at Camp Tourney en-
joyed themselves as they indt-
divually desired. Some resorted to
hiking through the woods as 1t was
fine day, the thermometer ris-
ing to so degrees. This was ex-
ceptional as the temperature was
as low as 3S degrees below zero
three days before.
The irregular cold weather has

one game has been played each

RAY FITZPATRICK
| GIVEN OVATION
Pleased st Francis Holy
Name Men i'm Address
Last Night

There was a large attendance at
the meeting of st Francis XAVIER
church Holy Name society last
night in the parish hall.
The question as to whether it
was advisable to change the meet
ing from Sunday to Friday evening
was disposed of by ballot. Sixty
favored the proposition and twelve
registered in opposition, a big VIC
tory for the young men, and many
of the older ones favored 1t, too.
The next meeting will be held Fri
day evening, March 9.
Several new members were elect
ed.
The speaker of the evening, Ray
Fitzpatrick, of the staff of the Wa
terbury Democrat, was introduced
by Father O'Connor. The audience
did not know whether the speaker
was going to champion or oppose
socialism or communism, but be-
fore he got through his hearers
were made to realize that Nh Fitz-
patrick believed that the govern
ment we have in the United States
is as good as the human mind can
devise and that IL there Is anything
in it that needs revision the people
have the power to make such
changes as they desire at the polls.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said that despite
many injustices in the capitalistic
system as 1t is practiced today there
was no need for an espousal of So
cialism. The remedy would then
be worse than the disease, he said,
and would lead to abuses far be-
yond any which we have under our
present system.
He gave an analysis of the var
ious points of socialist doctrine and
then described what the state would
be like under q real socialist rule.
Communism, he claimed, is even
more sweeping in its aims than
socialism and would go even fur
Their in abolishing the right of pri-
vate ownership. Such abolition, he
declared, would put an end to real
progress since it would destroy all
incentive and ambition.
At the close of his address Mr.
Fitzpatrick was complimented for
the manner in which he handled
the subject and was given d rising
vote of thanks.

Camp Roberts for tonight the

ance is indicated and girls from
Terryville, Waterbury, Torrington

to the camp in army and q. c. w.
motor vehicles and escorted back
home at the end of the evenings
festivities. These camp dances
held in the camps recreation hall
are becoming more popular each
month. In preparation for the
event the forestry service always
eooperates intellectually with
the army and Homer G. Neal, the
camp superintendent, as always In
terested in the boys welfare, places
the e. C. w. trucks at the disposal
of the camp commander for the
big event.
At 10 p. m. the company will
serve refreshments in the mess
hall. The usual weekly movie
show will precede the dance to-
night, the time of the show being
advanced so as not to interfere
with the dance.
The 175th CO, C. G. c., boasts
of being liable to take 1t" and
rightly so, for the record breaking
cold of this winter has had little
or no effect on their enthusiasm
for their work in the forests. They

The miners had to walk to their

So, what was to be done? The men
discussed it. The main thing was,
the clause in the agreement, (the
Lewis Operator Agreement), which
says, 81 day if you strike, and this
was the question. So the men de-
cided to go to work Feb. 9, but only
to load one wagon a day. This did
not work so good the first day be-
cause the men in other sections
loaded more than one car. So on
7 -. 10, they all decided to load
one "-agon apiece, but again that
day. the pit committee was not
working, so again it did not work
out. On the 18th they all got to-

wagon apiece vc5 not enough to
fill this order.

Strike Sweeps
Away Dead Hand
OF Arbitration
By a Miner Correspondent

NAAANA NAAS1tfCAA&(AAA
BICKNELL, Ind.-Some time ago,
wrote you letter about supply
mine near Bicknell coming on
strike against the hiring of four
men. This action was taken be-
cause the leaders in the mine were
unable to earn the day scale of
s4.57 as provided in the N. I. R. A.
code an account of slow turn. The
leaders consider it good when they
can earn $40 and Sl2 a week and
in some cases, these men draw as
little as 81 week. They joined the
United Mine Workers of America.
Some 6 or refused to follow the
majority.
The District II Vice President
assured these men that they would
have the protection of the union in
making the company comply with
the provisions of the Coal Code.
When the strike was called, a Board
member was called in but he stated
that there was nothing in the Code
that made it compulsory that the
operator recognize the U. M. w. A.
or any other union, so it would be
impossible for the union to do any
thing in the case. He advised the
men to place their case in the hands
Of the Arbitration Board, which
they did.
But they continued to strike. In
few days the men won their point.
but the case has not been decided
yet by the Arbitration Board. At
their local meeting, this body If men
endorsed the Workers Unemploy-
ment and Social Insurance Bill, and
condemned the action of the 33rd
U. M. w. A. Convention in rail-
reading resolutions.
These men have been awakened
to the necessity of the rank and
file taking an active part in their
union. They can see that it
wasn't the leaders of their union
who won their strike; it was their
determination to strike until they
got justice that won out. The N.
R. A. has been exposed to these
men as weapon beneficial to the
operator and against their interests.
1t clearly states that to strike is
unlawful. Yet any fair-m minded
miner will have to admit that any
thing the miners ever had was
wrung from the operators through
the united action of miners striking.
The members of the U. M. w. A.
should demand that the scale of
wages and conditions to be pre-
scented to the operators in the near
future be drawn up by scale COM
mittee elected from the ranks of
the miners. They should refuse to
have anything to do with the MIRA.
