the gambling instinct that is native
with men-and with women.
For the heads of our state are
hereby informed that women are
the true gamblers of the nation and
that it would be the women who
would make the most enthusiastic
cash customers if a lottery were
provided by the state. It is simple
to tell why.
At Monte Carlo there are no old
men clawing at the croupiers and
counters. This rather disagreeable
phenomenon is provided by our
sex exclusively. Gambling is the
final passion of the kind. of anti
social old woman who has no
granddaughter to worry about.
And we women are gamblers in
other ways. The normal unattend-
ed bachelor can predict, with a fair
certainty, what is going to happen
to him tomorrow. He will be fired
or advanced-his income will shrink
or increase with the devigationS of
his own handling of affairs.
But single woman has the whole
world spread before her.
Every cocktail party may mean
an introduction to a millionaire of
vast riches, who will marry her and
give her private car. Life, for the
unmarried woman of 1884, is one
enormous gamble of infinite posi-
bilitieS.

NORMAN H. DAVIS, we were
L Y told, sailed for Europe ex-
pressing little hope for interna-
tional agreements at the disarm-
aments conference.
The behavior of men on ques-
lions of national import, of ma
tional existence even, would be
riotously funny if it were not
fraught with such tragic conse-
quences for us all.
AS usual thing they act exact.
ly like a bunch of beliggerent
small boys trying to rib up a few
fights in the alley. They dare each
other to cross imaginary chalk
lines. They shake guns in one an
others faces. Not one will bulge
single inch on any ancestral
stand, however foolish it may be.
Human nature being what it IS,
]. suppose we should not be dis
couraged over the progress we
have made. But now and then,
you can't help wondering whether
the persons who hold in their
hands the destiny of the races
will ever quit acting like small

common sense to retain the good

Yet he seems content to abide
in a world forever stewing with

example of all past tragedies to
warn him, he sits stubbornly, if
precariously, on his pet powder

He will work industriouSly as an

we'll knows if his country goes to

the full length OF the picture and she
turns in . truly remarkable per-
fcrmance. She hasn't 4 trace Of self

And giving all this space to little

not get all this.

Win Demand for
Flour and Coal
for JObleSS Miners

by Mine Worker Correspondent
DENBO, Pa.-For quite a while here
in Centerville borough, we, the I'M
employed, were waiting for the "jobs
for alp promised by Roosevelt. Fin
ally we saw no jobs were Forthcoming
and we began to organize. At the
first meeting we had 70 unemployed.
We established an organization,
elected officers, committees, set date
for regular weekly meetings.
The following meeting we instructed
a committee of four to go to Wash
ington, Pa, and demand coal, shoes
and flour. Some of the men, and
some of the committee wanted to wait
until after the new year, but finally
agreed to go. When we got to the
Washington Office, We were recognized
as committee and promised coal i'm
mediately, also that the flour will be
given again during the month of Jan
uary. Already the coal has been de-
livered
Also there was a change in the is
suance of relief checks. Now we will
not have to walk miles to the Low
Hill School house. but the check will
be given out at three main centers!
We made a demand for blankets.
While there were some distributed
here, it was not even one blanket to
a family, and all families need blan-
Kets. We also found out that 40
blankets were stolen" after they were
delivered to the Low Hill School.
Now it is very funny how thes
blankets were stolen. No window was
broken, the locks were not broken, vet
10 blankets were Stolen" Washing
ton instructed us to investigate.
OF course, we know that Fred Smith
the man in charge of relief here,
could tell who stole" the blankets
And we will investigate. This Fred
Smith used to be Vesta No. 6 clerk
then Maxwell and later Mather weigh
boss. Now he is the whole cheese in
the relief here.
After the miners went to work he
refused to give them the relief checks.
although they had no pay, and only
gave the relief checks after q bitter
fight. We must demand removal of
the stool pigeon and agent of the
Vesta Coal Company and the right
OF the unemployed to place the men
from their ranks on all the relief
agencies.
There are practically no O. w. A.
projects here.

THE door Of the New Pioneer Office
L opened wide and banged against
the wall. The clerk stopped tapping
her typewriter, turned around, and
was about to greet the visitor with
her customary smile. But nobody
had entered the room The clerk
scratched her nose, feeling annoyed,
mumbled something, and closed the
door, shutting out a chilly draught.
A short while later, the door flung
open again. And once more the clerk
turned, smiling broadly. But nobody
crossed the Threshold
What the DEVIL" the clerk moan
ed, HAS this place gone spooky?"
She stood MISUNDERSTANDING
her head this time-unable to solve
the mystery. The draught scattered
the papers around her desk. She
went again to close the dor. Sud-
denly she was met by a crowd of
girls and boys. They marched firmly
into the room, the clerk retreating
to her desk. Her first thoughts at
CfllS mass visit were.
Here's where I sell some Pioneer
uniforms. Or perhaps they're bring
ing money for the New Pioneer
drive!"

boy said stubbornly. I'VE didn't know
who should walk in first, and Bill

all ran away, frightened So we de-
cided to walk in, all at time. Well,
here we are, guess"
But what for?" she asked, still
puzzled.
Here, here's paper we all signed"
The clerk took the paper, wonder
ing what it could be about. She
scratched her cheek this time, opened
the wrinkled yellow paper, and read:

the mine-this while our local decided
against the helmets.
Our local should list all of the
black Listed miners in and round Yes
taburg, present this to the super at
VeSta No. 5, and tell him that no one
shall be hired until these members of
our union are hired. This should be
done by the locals everywhere else.
and if the bosses will not agree, we
should strike.
While We have no check off for the
union dues at the VeSta mines. there
is check off for the company. We
must pay $210 a month for company
insurance; $1.30 a month for doctor,
a OF cent for the blacksmith, 81
cents a day for the miners light, also
we pay Il cent for the check weigh
men. Then the powder and caps.
These overhead charges take 80 to rs
per cent of our earnings. Also here
at Vesta S the company continuously
checks miners of for power which
they did not get.
Our Checkweighmen Are Not Union
Checkweighmen!
In the old days, before the war, the
miners acknowledgment called out the
weight of the car. Lewis machine
changed this, giving the company
weight boss the authority to call out
the weight. Also the agreement spe-
officially states that the checkweight-
men has no voice in the running of
the tipple, and the right to contest
and put back on the scale any car
was conveniently left out of the agree
ment and the code. This means that
if a car hits the scale and weights
4 tons, the company weight boss can
call out 21ls or 8 tons and our check
weightmen has no right or the power
to check or stop this stealing of our
COAL
There are many other grievances in
our mine. 1nere are no supplies; dead
work is not paid for; men wait weeks
for a parting, turn is not equal, dirty
coal penalties are unjust, yet neither
the N. r. A. nor the U. M. w. A.
higher officials or some of the local
officials are trying to change these
damnable things. 1t is up to us to
take control of our locals and Of the
whole U. M. w. A. and make 1t a

Pagan machine! Smash the N. R. A.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
From a Russian Sanatorium

EEOm q huSSidn SdndtOElum
r. W.-The following letter might
interest our readers. 1t comes from
a woman comrade who, for certain
personal reasons, could not get well
here. We sent her to one of the eau
casus sanatoria because of the high
grade medical treatment, the reason
able rates charged to workers $3.50 per
month, including the fare from and
back to the border), and because of
the comradely atmosphere which was
essential to her complete recovery.
Dear Doctor Luttinger:
We'll, finally after twenty-one days
OF travelling, I arrived in the eau
casus on December 81. I certainly
had very pleasant trip. Not even
one day was seasick; although had
plenty of sea travel, because from
London took a Soviet boat to Lerin-
grad. The Baltic sea has a tendency
to freeze in the winter. Our boat
stood two days on the ice, but it was
a marvellous sight. We did not mind.
because we had plenty to eat and it
was pretty warm inside. Then the
gigantic Soviet icebreaker came and
cleared the way for us. I had very
nice company all the way to Kis-
lovodsk. There we're always nice
people. who spoke English or German
so l did not feel lonesome.

The workers here are solely dom
mated by the U. P. Coal CO. and are
under a terrific terror as to reading
Communist literature, but the move
ment is growing. The rank and file
movement is militant here in the u.
NJ. w. of A. but the takers along wi5-i
the bosses still have a strangehold on
the workers.
I'm glad to see the Daily near its
goal in the $4,000 drive, which I can
say would be impossible for other OPP
position dallies such as the Liberals, 4"
etc.
