Two outstanding facts emerge
clearly: first, that democracy is
waging a life and death struggle
against social system based up
on force and violence; and, Sec
ond, that the spokesman for this
system have made anti-Semitism
the spearhead of their attack upon
democracy.
Why do they attack democracy?
Because it is based upon the prin-
ciples of equality of races and ma
tions, and the equality of all men
within each race and nation. This
equality means equal opportunity
for all to make the most of their
creative potentialities. The Nazis
hold that these principles are in
violation of natural law, and there
fore destructive of human well
fare. They claim that these prin-
ciples are a Jewish invention foist-
ed upon mankind by the Jews for
their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
used by INSCRIPTIONS politicians
to conceal the enslavement of the
masses.
In the face of this attack, our

Philip Murray Headed Miners Local At IS

near G1aSglow, Scotland, May 20, 1886. His father was a coal miner. At the age of Il Murray went into the mines. One of his keenest mem ories is the wild rejoicing of the miners when, after a strike they achieved raise of IS cents per day.
 w. F. Murray, Philips father, came to the United States with his wife and 10 children in 1902 and settled in Irwin, Pa, where he got a job as miner. Philip Murray, then a tall boy of Is, likewise worked as a miner.
 The determining incident in his career came in 1904 in WeStmOre- land County, Pa. Young Murray had dispute with the checkweighman of the mine. The lad claimed he was not getting credit for all the coal he got out. There was a fight. Murray won, but was discharged.
 The angry miners formed a local of the United Mine Workers and elected Murray by exclamation as president, his father being among the voters. A strike was declared, but after four weeks of hunger, it was called off. Company police rushed Murray out of the locality. He has often said that after this he gave his heart and soul to the labor cause.
 Murray began to rise. He became a member of the executive commit tee of the United Mine Workers in 1912 and vice president in 1920, be- ing reelected thereafter every two years.
 When not working, Murray is happiest in his modest home in Pittsburgh with his wife, Eliza beth, and his son, Joseph William. They can be seen at Catholic church any Sunday morning. When the United Mine Workers wanted to double his 5000 per year salary, he refused.

eds of capture. Whether our folks should use pitchforks, cannon, or just dynamite is a puzzle. We want to be strictly law-abiding and on the level, so we're waiting for the warden to set up some rules.
 There are a number of poSsi- bilities with that boar loose. Sup pose one of our land-hungry new arrivals was out blocking of a road when that pig spotted him? Suppose a WPA man should be taking a nap on the sunny side of a rock when the porker decided to launch an offensive? Or just suppose that boar got a whif of Southbury Creamy Ale and de- cided to attack the Oak Tree Tavern?
 Pigs can live mighty easy in the woods. They're not fussy about their food like some people. They'll eat anything and lots of it. A wild boar on the loose will digest toad stools better than Tony the Bar Der, he will rob 8 hens nest or swallow a whole brood of young rabbits. When the going gets tough, pig on the loose will root up bulbs, eat acorns, gnaw up young shrubs, or chew poison ivy. We've never known a pig to starve, so this wild boar of ours will likely survive regardless.
 Nobody seems to know how that boar got loose. Bob Platt has had a lot of experience with hogs and he observed every caution in the handling of his pet, He had de- layed butchering until after folks made up their mind which of our two ThanksgivingS they would keep, and now it looks like the Platts were out considerable pork.
 MyrOn Pierce has bought a new axe handle because, since elec- ton, Oliver Gilbert has been too worn out to produce enough hand made handles to supply the local demand. Our efforts to p0pularize a longer handle in this area have been partly successful.
 Since Squire Horton has kept goats, his fence lines are the very cleaneSt in town. Goats are great brush eliminators.

 Wild boar hunts are the order of the day here. Bob Platt's big 500 lb. tusker got loose and wan dered off into the deep woods. We are expecting to hear of some city-bred partridge hunter being chewed to ribbons almost any day now. Bob claims the pig isn't vicious, but all pigs are bad when they get taste of freedom. This particular boar is especially mean. Head-0n, he looks like a cross be- tween Adolf Hitler and an East Side clothing merchant.
 The Platt boys want it distinct ly, understood that boars cannot be killed with shotguns and that anybody v.ho dares to put 8 charge of shot into their pig will discover a lot of new things about their weapon. It has been sug- gested that we turn out the Para disc Rifles to safeguard the coun- tryside but we know that if such action were taken, somebody would surely accuse our folks of trying to throw a wrench into this new fad called Unity" To avoid panic among folks who want everything to move of smoothly in these critical post-election days, we're delaying the muster of the Rifles until that boar takes the offensive. If he chews up an RED. man and thereby congests the mails, we'll move out under full pack. If he behaves himself and just trees an occasional hired man, we'll let nature take it's course and look forward to better pig shooting in few years. One thing troubles us and that is the game laws.

 Steindell has everything under control for the winter and will now start his annual production Of Christmas WreathS and decora- tionS. Bill knows where the ground pine grows thickest, he can produce the prettiest bayber- ries and black alder, and he man. ages to find bittersweet clusters that look as if they were grown purposely to make some kid hap py. He starts early and his wreaths bring fancy prices. For years, we've tried to make him adopt 8 trademark, but he just sticks to natural methods and claims that his old customers take almost all he can make.
 Bill Steindell doesn't specialize on wreaths alone. He makes stars and crosses, too. Bill can whack together 3 star that would make any shepherd lay down his pack and start hiking. It's a gift, this ability to make decorations from materials that grow outdoors. New Haven, Bridgeport, and Wa terbury will soon have a chance to buy SteindelI Xmas trimmings. This column will take orders and see that Bill delivers on time and at reas0nablbe prices. Our only request is that orders are placed early to avoid disappointment. After all, Bill Steindell is just one man and he's going to be mighty busy.
 Another busy man over Paradise way is Charley Squires. Charley has never been known to take a vacation, yet he always has time to do a favor for a friend. Lately, Squires has been raising colts and colts have to be trained and brok- en to harness. The corrals and pastures down there are full and it looks as if Charley had his work cut out for him.
 Years ago, when we had 8 steam laundry in Paradise, MT. Squires used to work around the plant and he made friends with every body by his cheerful ability to do fav0rs. If a lady emplOye suggest ed that she would like some candy, Charley just lit out cross lots, ran all the way to Britain and back, and delivered a bag of the best chocolate creams Henry Mccarthy had in stock. The same was true of his attention to trade. He would sit up nights hunting for a lost workshirt for Purchase Hill hired man, or he would make a special trip to deliver a dress to a girl in Kettletown who wanted to look nice at . country dance.
 We reed more people like that in business and trade. Politeness pays dividends and attention to detail starts the cash register jlngling. We need more laundries like that old steam laundry at Gilbert's Pond, too. Nobody ever lost any sheets and pillowcases when the Gilberts did the wash ing.
