STATE PENSION
GROUP MEETS
Work of Commission in All 3
Counties Greatly Hamper
ed Through Lack of Funds
DISALLOW APPLICATIONS

The monthly meeting of the
State Mothers Pension Commis-
sion was held in the legislative
building Wednesday with the fol-
lowing members present: Mrs. 1.
Layfield Long, Mrs. Joseph M.Lank
Miss Cora Tschudy, Miss Julia F.
Burton, Mrs. Garrett Harrington,
Mrs. Howard L. Pyle, Mrs. Howard
Ward, Miss P. Hazard and Miss
Frances A. Griggs, executive sec
retary. Seven new applications for
pensions were presented from New
Castle county, of which three were
granted and four were disallowed.
In Kent county three new applica-
tions were considered and disallow-
ed due to the fact that no funds
are available. In Sussex county
one case was disallowed, because
of lack of funds. In New Castle
county, 13 cases were reconsidered.
Of these four temporary pension
ers were placed on the regular list;
four were discontinued, two for
violation of rules; one because Of
remarriage; one for sufficient earn
ing power and one pension reduced.
In Kent county one case will be
discontinued after June. In Sus-
sex county eight cases were recon
sidered, one pensioner was contin-
ued on probation and one trusted.
The work Of the commission is be-
ing greatly hampered through lack
of funds. In all three counties
there is a waiting list.

Strike Urged
To SAGE Union
at Republic Go.
By a Raimund Mine Worker

BY a R2tKnund Mine Worker
BESSEMER, Ala. Discrimina-
ton against union men Is worse
now than ever before. The scabs
say that in 90 days the union will
be smashed In order to be ready
for any trouble the bosses of the
Republic Co. have built 10 bullet
proof dog houses" for their armed
thugs. In the last strike a couple
of thugs and National Guardsmen
were killed.
Union men are being moved out
of the camps and fired out of the
mine without the slightest excuse
The shop committee is kicked back
and forth between the bosses like

faction.
The weaker union men have be-
gun to turn In their union books.
This action Is due to the takers,
who have done nothing to force the
bosses to recognize the union and
live up to the contract. The result is
that the militant union men are
fred and the weak ones turn back
to the company.
The Rank and File Committee
in the union is issuing leaflet
stating these grievances and call
ing upon the union men to call a
strike to force the company to give
in to their demands. The leaAet
exposes the takers and calls for the
election of Rank and File Strike
Committee to lead the strike.
The sentiment for strike is high
and the takers don't stand a chance
of preventing it. When the miners
strike this time they will have the
experience Of two hard-fought
strikes under their belt, and the
takers Cole and Lipscon1b had
better not show their faces in the
Rairnund Union meetings.

JEWETT CITY, Conn, Sept. g.
In this city the textile workers are
out 100 per cent at two plants, the
Epanook and the Ashland, with a
total of 900 workers. In Moosup,
a small textile center, the textile
workers are also out 100 per cent,
totaling over 500. In Danielson, the
local priest is trying to break the
strike by calling on the workers to
scab. The workers are enraged
against him, demanding that he
keep his nose out of the strike.
Yesterday the flying squadrons, or
Gypsy pickets" as the local police
call them, concentrated on the mills
in Willimantic, and succeeded in
pulling out the cotton mill, but we're
not successful in pulling out the

In Jewett City, the bosses and

WARREN. N. H.-Being a res

was home on Labor Day and I
heard the U. T. w. leaders speaking
at Victory Park, telling the Amos
keag workers to follow a legal Amer
lean union, the U.T.W., and not the
Communists. Miss MoSkwa told the
Polish workers to go to Russia if
they want to follow the Reds. All
in all. they we're trying to impress
upon the minds Of the workers that
the Reds are a bunch of foreigners.
Every time the speakers spoke
against the Reds they got two
thirds less applause than for the
other things they said. Which
proves that not all the workers fell
for the red scare baloney.
They told the workers to be
peaceful, not to come near the mill
area. There will be two pickets at
each gate, they said. They are to
let all in who have tag. The lead
erS say these are office and other
overhead force who have to be in.
By these means the bosses hope
to starve out the workers, break
down their morale and fighting
spirit, and beat them into submits
sion, to crush the strike.

No one-man leadership here, but

The union officials, in one in

the names of Communists that
visited his home over to the police
or to the union officials to turn
over the information to the police.

Ing:
The meeting was one of those
healthy affairs, where the workers
discussed in most devastating self
criticism, shortcomings of their
work, their dining room, their audi
forum, their store. One worker
pointed out that there are no rags
in his department with which to
wipe the machines. Therefore he
was forced to take off his overalls,
tear them, and wipe the machine,
otherwise it would rust.
The Red MetaliSt' raises its own
pigs and rabbits and helps or takes
guardianship over a 'Kolkho7' (col-
lective farm. In other words, the
workers from the factory go out to
the 'Kolkhoz' on their day off and
help fix up or even build the build
ings that are necessary. The Kol-

kitchen with fresh Vegetables, dairy
products, etc. The wonders of So

Celebrate
YearoNMU
In Gallup
By a Mine Worker Correspondent

BY a Mine worker correspondent
GALLUP, N. M,-The miners of
Gallup, New Mexico, had a picnic
on Aug. 26th to celebrate the strike
which started one year ago and was
led by the N. M o. This marked
a victory, for the N NJ. U. is here
to stay, Since the strike the U. M.
w. A, has tried everything to split
our ranks but has failed to do so.
Locals of the N. M. U. have been
holding their meetings ever since
the strike, and they have their pit
committees who take up their fight.
Also they have the Sub-District
Board, which gives the true leader
ship that the workers are looking
for.
Aside from this we see the N. M.
U. ready to take the fight of all
workers. They led the F. E. r. A,
strike, which ended in complete
victory for the workers.
The leaders came to the front
during the F. E. r. A. strike and
exposed the takers that were trying
to cut the wages of the F. E. R. A.
workers, and through this they we're
able to win the strike.
There was one man staying in
Gallup at the time the strike was
called and he said he never saw
such unity of workers, and that
they were ready on the spot to fight
for their rights any time.
Every once in a while we have a
comrade in jail, move to stop us
from fighting. Last week we had a
comrade that was with us during
the strike and he returned TO Gal
lup. AS soon as he was seen he
was put in the jeil.
AS soon as the trial came I'D the
workers were there and it was a
! good Job. The thugs were going to
beat him up but the workers al
took to their comrsde and there was
nothing done. From that we learned
that worker is not in safe keeping
with these thugs, so from now on
when a comrade is put in Jail the
workers will keep watch on him.
