the workers. So he did.
About the same time one of the

our leaflet in front of the mill gate.
So the same dirty bluejacket cop
came out and ordered him off the
sidewalk. A lot of the workers know
about this, and did not like it. The
workers know that the A. A. is a
company union.
And yes, we have a company union
here also. The committee company

they find themselves on the shape-up

TERRE HAUTE, Ind.-A local c.
W. A. worker narrowly escaped death
when he was trapped beneath fall
ing tree that pinned him against the
frozen bed of Honey Greek, so pain
fully bruising him that he has been
confined at the Saint Anthony hos

This avoidable accident occurred as
a direct result Of being forced to
descend into this hazardous ines
capable hole by a brutal driving gang

The tentative compensation pro-
posal providing that any C.W,A. en-

entitled to 66 2-3 of his regular pay
beginning three days after the in

of hunger and cold by contributions

an expiration Of 81 days following the
date of the accident before he is
eligible for compensation. Because
he is employed on a C.W.A. job, the
