this year and the main demand is
that all the members of the COM
pany union, the Independent Miners
Brotherhood, be discharged The
first strike lasted nearly two weeks,
and the Weirton Company signed
an agreement with the U.M.WA.
Since then, however. the Weirton
Company attempted to bring in
on the quiet, of course - more
"brotherhoodS' into the mine. The
"brotherhoods, knowing the COM
pany was back of them, tried to
lord it over the union men. This
resulted in a fight in which recent
ly two members Of the U.M.W.A,
were attacked, one shot, the other
slugged.
The following morning the mine
struck. There have been no arrest

when it is to the advantage of their

men escape.
The local newspapers are stating
that the strike is not authorized
and the 300 Isabella miners will
have to pay the penalty of 81 a day
for each. day of the strike
The miners answer to this was
to vote not to go back to work UNI
til they see what the steel workers
will do. District U.M.W.A. officials
attempted to send the men back,
but we're not successful. The COM
pany announced that the mine is

strikers are ready to join his coun-
ter-union on the basis of the in
dividual port settlement plan.

striking seamen, were seriously
stabbed by scab from the steamer

Milk Price Rise
Will Mostly Aid
Dairy Companies
Small Farmers To Get
Little Advantage;
Hits Consumers

NEW YORK.-Of the advance in
The price of milk, which will go up
cent on Monday. June II, in New
York City and most of the upstate
cities and towns by ruling of the
Milk Control Division of the State
Department of Agriculture, the
farmers will only get little more
than half this increase, although
the reason given for the raise is re-
lief for the farmers.
According to the announced
prices, farmers will get an increase
of % cents per 100 pounds of milk
sold as fluid in the New York met
ropolitan area. This amounts to a
shade less than 6-10 of cent. The
profits of the dealers will be in
creased 40 of cent. At the same
time, farmers will suffer because the
higher retail price will cut consump-
ton, increasing the amount of milk
sold in manufactured form, as sur
plus paid for at lower rate. The
dealers will continue making enor-
nous profits while the farmers will
get a smaller check since the rate
of profits of the dealers will not be
lowered by the fall in consumption.
A further development in the at
tempts of the milk control division
to ensure control of the metropoli-
tan milk market by the larger dis
tributors is the announcement of
possible milk sales at &c a quart
in paper cartons by the Borden Co.
The solutions proposed are cap
able of application only by the larg-
est companies and are solutions
which seek tc lower the price with
out increasing the farmers price to
near cost Of production and without
affecting the dealers profits.

seen from the fact that it is the ore

Wore Anti-Nazi Button,
His Sole Crime

NEW YORK.-By twenty
two minutes, a German anti
fascist sailor was saved from
almost certain death at the
hands of the Hitler murder
gangs, Wednesday night.
The sailor, Theodore Egg
geleng, 26, was already in chains
in the brig of the German ship,
the ALBERT Balm" which was get
ting ready to leave for Fascist Ger
many, where torture and death
awaited him, when he was rescued
through a writ of habeas corpus
brought by Sol H. Cohen, Interna-
tional Labor Defense lawyer,
brought into the case by the Ger
man Workers Club.
At l am. Tuesday, Eggeleng, with
two anti-fascist friends, was re-
turning from the Yorkville Labor
Temple to the albert Balm" on
which he worked as a sailor
On the way they passed Nazi

couple of his huSkies were stand
ing outside. One of them saw an
anti-fascist button on the lapel of
one of the three, and started a
fight. Cops we're called
Knowing that an arrest would
endanger his life when he got back
to the boat, Eggeleng and his COM
panions began to run. The cops
fired their guns. Eggeleng was
caught. One of the others was shot
in the leg.
The anti-fascist was hauled off
TO court, where he was held in 500
bail. The German Workers Club
raised the money.
On Wednesday, just as Eggeleng
and the attorney were coming out
Of the courtroom after paying a
tine of $40, two men who said they
we're marine police seized Eggeleng
and dragged him off to the ALBERT
Balm"
The write of habeaS corpus Or
1ering the captain of the boat to
release Eggeleng was secured at
pm. The ship was scheduled to
sail at midnight.
For hours Cohen waited to hand
the writ to the captain. At five
minutes to ten, the captain, seeing
that he could not shake the de-
termined lawyer, came out of his
hiding place and accepted the writ
ordering him to release the anti
fascist sailor.
But would he obey the order?
A small group of German work
ers waited anxiously on the pier to
know the answer. At 1880 the "Al-
bert Balm" began to make ready to
get under way. At twenty-five
minutes to twelve just as they were
beginning to give up hope, Eggeleng
stepped off the ship into the arms
of his cheering comrades.
Promptly at IL midnight the al
bert BALM" lifted anchor and sailed
away. Out of the murderous grasp
Of the fascists, the German Work
ers and the I. L. D. had wrested
the young anti-faScist sailor.
