Take it down at once, at once!"
And they stamped back and forth
waving their arms helplessly in their
terror and anger. Then one of them
had an idea Wen have to call
the Storm Troopers" and he sent
two Of his men off to get help.
The crowd stood silent, all eyes
raised to the brave message, that
rallied the workers to carry on the
fight where their dead comrades had
left off. Suddenly, big police cars
came rumbling over the cobble
stones. The detachments Of Storm
Troopers had arrived. An officer
bawled out his order. Break up
this mob" And with their guns.
the Storm Troopers pushed aside
the workers. There was great
deal of running around. Men scat
tered and watched from a distance.
Kurt became separated from his
father. Somehow, he found himself
alone, behind a wagon and quite
near the gate. He watched breath
lessly.
Having scattered the workers, the
NaziS approached the gate. The big
brave words on the wreath threw
them into a terrible rage. One Of
the officers, his face distorted with
anger, muttered, These cursed
Communists, what will they do
next?" The big warning on the
box filled the Nazis with terror. and
kept them a safe distance away.
Not one dared coma near it. They
gathered together in little huddles
to decide upon plan, while they
kept one eye turned fearfully toward
the box hanging from the wire.
These Reds would do anything. !"
Il swear I can hear a ticking
inside, can't you?' said one, his
eyes round with fear.
Finally an officer had an idea.
He gave orders The Nazis turned
and walked away from the factory
about 100 yards. Then with rifles
raised, they aimed at the hanging
box.
'Firel"
There was a loud report that
ended in silence. There was no ex-
plo5ion.
"Verdammdt! Can't you hit it?s
Again they fired, and-silence.
Someone will have to see what's
the matter" said the officer.
No answer came for several min
utes. Then one stepped forward.

WILKES BARRE, Pa-The con-
ditions in the mines today are very
bad. The workers must work in the
mines for almost nothing and be
satisfied or else quit the job and
go out and starve. If you go to the
Poor Board they say that they will
send an investigator over to the
house. But when they start send
ing the investigators they will be
sending them for weeks and weeks
and all you can do is to look at
them and starve.
Last week I went out to look for
a job and I happened to get job
by dumb luck as a miner and I
was told to get two laborers to
work with me When 1 got the la
borers and the tools we went down
into the mines to look at our place
and, boy, what a place.
The coal was three feet high and
we had to pitch the coal three and
four times to the chute and then
push the coal down the chute, but
the chute did not have much Of a
pitch, and so we had hell of a
time pushing the coal down near
the platform. Then We had to pitch
it on the platform, from there into
the car, While you are shovelling
the coal into the car you can't see
the car on account of the smoke.
While going up to the place to
make some coal we have to crawl
up to the face of the place on
hands and knees (the place is only
three feet high). In so doing we
bruiSe our backs so much that
when the days work is over we
cannot lie on our backs to rest.
After working eight to ten hours
in a low place like that our knees
are all cut up. After firing the
coal with dynamite or black pow
der, we then go into the place to
work. One gets so sick from the
lack of ventilation that the result
is that we must carry ourselves out
of the mines. In that place, the
most that three men can load is

District 3

BY Mine Worker Correspondent
YUKON, Pat is no longer a
question Of debate among the min
ers of District No. 3, U.M.W.A. as
to what side of the fence the Dis
tric5 officials stand on. Grievance
after grievance that was taken up
before the District officials was al
ways settled in favor Of the coal
operators.
In the Yukon mine, where the
one-car per man per day originated
and spread throughout the coal
fields, as the only way the men
can stop paying the $1.00 per day
fine, the District officials are try
ing to take this away from the
miners.
The District officials say this.
"If you load one car per day, we
are going to fine you. We don't
want you to bring production of
coal down. This was stated to the
Export local, who have been strik-
ing on the job for two days, to re-
place a motorman who had been
hauling coal on the nat road for 2
years.
This motorman was fired for his
activity, but the fundamental reason
was because, I'VE are going to see
who is going to run this mine, the
UM.W,A miners or the West
moreland Coal Company" as the
superintendent Rymer stated.
The Westmoreland Coal Commit
tee Opposition is fighting like
hell against both the operators and
the District officials. The pit COM
mittees went and met with the
District officials and gave them few
days to settle the Export question
and put the old motorman on the
job again.
The pit committee also said that
no charters were to be revoked in
District No. as they did at Logans
Ferry. These officials said that they
would only revoke charters if the
men called wild cat' strike, and
to them, striking on the job is a
wild cat strike. And then they will
pick out the leadership and expel
them from the union. This means
that all miners that Will fight for
better conditions will be expelled.
Miners, we must fight much
harder and call conference of all
locals in District No and elect

Our Reply
Your complaint of pus under your
cuticles is not sufficient informa-
ton for us, because many people
think that redness or swelling al
ways indicates the presence of
pus. Very frequently we have heard
patients refer to the serum in the
blisters of poison ivy as pus.

one mine in Hemphill, w. Va,

no pay for 80 pounds. On Sep

New Bridge for Coos Bay, one of
the five to be built on the Coast

Workers are speeded up quite a
bit and were fired on little pretext.
Efforts are being made to bring
other workers who have worked for
the company before in and cut local
men off. Well, we all have to live
and if they don't hire local workers

Pus is a grayish or yellowish gray
fluid, of thicker consistency than
water, and is made up of broken
down tissue cells, white blood cells
and bacteria together with the ac-
cumulated fluids from the blood.
Now, if there is much pus present
under your cuticles, it may be
necessary to consult surgeon who
may have to remove portions Of
loosely attached nails which act as
local irritants.
On the other hand. there is
type of chronic low grade inflam-
mation of the tissue around the
nails which may be due to ordinary
germs or to fungi vegetable para.
sites. This condition usually
arises in women who, because Of
house work. have their hands in
water great deal. The amount Of
pus here is very small, Or not even
visible.
In these cases, keeping the hands
out OF water is important. If this
is not possible, use rubber gloves
when handling water, but take
them off frequently to prevent too
much sweating. The application Of
an ointment made up of 80 grains
Of ammoniated mercury in one
ounce of vaseline is helpful. In
some cases X-ray treatment will
help clear up the condition.
