THIS surname is derived from the
L French words "Pomme-rol," mean
ing originally kind of apple. Lit
orally speaking. it was the trade
name" OF a particular brand Of apple
king of apples" The first Pome-
roys were no doubt apple growers. The
name. as most names do, went through
a series Of changes in spelling in its
native country. 1t was for a long
time spelled Pommeraye, and those
who belonged to the original Pomeroy
family we're called de Ia Pommeraye.' y
When the family was introduced
into England they become powerful
lords during feudal times. At the
time Of the survey for the Domesday
Book there we're So lordships in the
counties Of Devon and Somerset held
by PommerayeS. About this time the
name underwent another change in
spelling and it was known as Pomerei
II is thought that the original home
Of the Pomeroys in France was in
La Mache, and the first mention we
find of the Lords Pomeroy in Eng
land is that of Ralph de Pomerei.
The coat Of arms here shown was
brought to America by Eltweed Pom
eroy in 1880. This early immigrant
was the predecessor Of many distint
gulshed sons and daughters of his
name in this country. One descend

the Louisburg Expedition, in 1745,
and Crown Point. in 1855, who rose

OUR LENIN

On January 81, 1884, Lenin, who
led the Russian workers in their
successful revolution, died. The
news shocked all in the world who
cherished greatness and the love of
freedom. The Soviet Union was one
huge funeral throng, coming in
masses to see their dear leader,
Comrade Ilyitch, Comrade Lenin.
He was a man of little size, but
he was a great man :"

everyone felt that all was lost, he

state people and things halted for
a moment to honor the dead COM

Pioneers, sang the funeral song of
the hero, the song Lenin loved so
much.
Everywhere in the world workers
mourned the loss of Lenin.

'Lenin'S work lives on"

said: What Lenin began, we will

In Crosby, Minnesota, an IRON

There, the more that is produced,
the more the workers benefit. A big
crop of wheat means more food.
Here in the United States the wheat
and cotton fields are destroyed and
the workers have less and less to
eat and wear. Only when we have
workers and farmers government
in our country will the fields and
factories be used to produce every
thing for the workers. AS Lenin led
the Russian workers to power, so
will his teachings show us the way
to our own Soviet America.
All over the country there will be
meetings honoring Lenins memory.

the men is not considered. One
man is in the hospital, teeth knocked

caught under a cave where it took

The company showed a deficit

these things? Is not the company

consider this loss, when in reality
it is being done now by cheap labor

Guggenheim interests and to make
ready easily accessible metals for
the coming war in which the cap

those where the q. M. W. Of A. car
ried a majority.
For example, the Prick bosses,
can begin to shift the U. M. w. Of
A. into mine sections, separated
from the BrotherhoodS. Then, these
sections can be closed down, thus
laying off of all the U. M. w. Of
A. members. Eventually, when the
U. M. w. of A. members are Whitfield
down to a bare minority the COM
pany can maneuver for new cleo

lose all the Prick mines where it
has had a majority. Everyone here

Hynes mentioned this point, but

before the closing down of the mine.

for the weighmen, were shifted to

manned loading coal had to pay as
high as So for two weeks to main
tain the check weighmen. Almost
unbelievable stories were told about
the company methods to force the
miners into the company Brother
hoods.
To all this Hynes replied, 7
know, it is very bad, wait, etc"
Hynes, also very conveniently placed
the blame for the conditions upon
the miners, because they refuse to

their master Lewis Okayed Com
pany Unions, drove the miners into
the mines, permitted and okayed
fake election, and instead of a
strike to smash the company union,
proposed belly crawling arbitration.

stated to Hynes: Neither the COM

miners are to blame, but you, dis
