TRIBUTE TO KEY WEST

Editor. The Citizen:
Before leaving Key West /
would like to pay little tribute
to her. When we decided to coma
here for the winter. several peo-
pie said. "Why do you want to go
to Key West?" They said there
was nothing here but lot of old
tumbled down homes, nothing to
do and "you viii get terribly
lonesome" -
But, quite to the contrary. |

There is lots to do here of inter-

afraid that I am returning north

buildings are tumbled down shacks,H
but they have some of the most
kindly people on earth.

haps by your next visit to Key
West you will find that these re-
pairs have either been done or
the little home is completely COW
cred with beautiful Towering
vines and blossoms which will
make you comment ON its beauty.
Perhaps some of the lovely
prize-winning flowers were grown
right in the yards of some Of these
so-called little old shacks. But
despite all of this, there is one
thing we can't forget and that is

CHICAGO (UNS)-John L. Lewis,

~liberately murdered in cold blood by
the Chicago police as a friendly favor
to the Republic Steel Company"

izing Committee at the Chicago sta

a telegram of greeting which was
read to the audience.
"The steel workers of the Calumet

button to the cause of labor and hui
manity. Nine Of them have given
their lives and scores of others have
had their bodies manned in one of
the most brutal massacres in the
history of the struggles of labor"
Lewis telegram stated.
81 am satisfied that the butchery
of III people will be legally avenged
by due process of u judicial ma
chinery, spurred by the resentment
of the public when it becomes ac-
quainted with the facts"
Lieut.. Gov. Thomas Kennedy OF
Pennsylvania, secretary-treasurer Of
the United Mine Workers, took
