MANNIX FREED

Over the mountain trail the posse
went, until they came in sight of
the mob, who turned Mannix loose
and made their getaway before
our posse caught up to them. 1t
was probably well they did.
Well liked and popular with all,
great friend of the striking min
ers, was the parish priest of Victor,
Father Downey. He was a militant
man and carried much influence
with the miners, so much so that
it was learned that the thugs had
resolved to visit him some night
and run him out. Oh yes, they did
those things and do not doubt it.
Our committee met and appointed
committee of six to guard the
good father on the night this was
supposed to come off. /, among
others, was on the committee.
Six of us met that Saturday night
and we were loaded" for anything
that might come up. The Fathers
house was detached and surrounded
by large boulders, so the committee
resolved to get out behind the rocks
and wait for the mob. We waited
UP to after midnight when it started to
rain. At about AM, the Father told
US to come IN, as he did not think
anything would hannen after that time.
We spent the rest of the night until
daybreak in his parlor, but our strate-
gy was to let the mob get on the steps
Of the house and then to fire over their
heads. If they still persisted in at
tempting to break into the house we
would "let them have it point blank"
Luckily for all, nothing happened.

announcing a picnic and dance to
be held at Rest Haven Park, Sun
day, June II. Tickets may be
purchased from the stewards. So
come along everyone, pack your
baskets and spend a pleasant day
at Rest Haven Park with your
fellow-workers.
About this time every year at
Leland, there seems to be a lot
of buzzing around, and one comes
on groups talking very seriously.
You've guessed it, the topic is
ELECTION. This is a serious
problem and everyone should be
vitality interested. During the next
few years, the union must have
stronger leadership than ever be-
fore to cope with the problems
we will face. Membership at Le-
land is increasing all the time
and perhaps for some it is the
first election they will have a
voice in. So let us hope that
there will be a number of strong
candidates for every office, who
have been nominated because they
are truly capable. Put aside your
personal prejudices and on cleo
ton day come down and cast your
ballot for capable leadership.

Several weeks ago we talked
about the "Army-Navy E." BY
now we should be seriously into
the business of winning this award.
So, let's all pledge ourselves to
do our very best on the job and
to be con the job every day"
Soon your stewards will be
asking you, Have you regis
tered?" Labor cannot hope to have
a voice in government unless
elect people in sympathy
with labor interests. Many times
just put off voting and then
neglect to register again. What
about you and your fellow-work-
er stopping at the court house on
your way home from work and
registering? In this way you can
protect your own interests by
placing in office qualified labor
candidates.

Don't forget, the games are played

games are held at Kettering Field

Under the management of Eddie

one game in the Tuesday mite
league, and are steaming right

Those are the marching days for
the sick and the injured. Volun-
tary march, of course. The corri-
dors are crowded then with march
ing men. soldiers in that uniform of
gray, sail-cloth-li pajamas, and
those magenta, monkish robes. Each
man counts his own cadence, fast
or slow. Sickness or injury gives a
soldier back his individuality. He
is one man, with a limp perhaps
that requires slow movement. Or
maybe he is recuperating. and the
surge of health inspires him to ex-
ceed the 120-a- minute, or the 1913,

AS the staff decides he is able. Or

three of his most renowned COM

allotted to composers of North
America.
Mr.. Estrella'S success yesterday
was not only a recognition of his
superb endowment, but showed that
he was taken to the heart of his
audience. which accorded him an
ovation. The young artist brings an
all-around pianistic development as

composers love and understanding
OF his own country and the many
elements that go into its national
character. Here Mr.. Estrella showed
his descriptive powers in the undu-

feeling of his playing.
The Concerto No. g." by Radames

Villa-Lobos, is none the less of high

There is no question that movies
are the soldier patients finest form
OF entertainment. They are enthu-
siastic about the truly good film and
even the unspeakably dull one is

ness, if not enthusiasm. 1t has

If the movie has a competitor in
taking the soldiers mind OF his ills

musical show. Those are the ones
with the dancers, especially the
dancers, and with the singers and
comedians to fill in between the
group and solo dance numbers. 1t
is not that the singers and the mas
ters of ceremonies. with their Jokes

the most exacting standards, they
are over-appreciated in many in

The discriminating fellow going
into the Army had better keep his
opinions of entertainment to him
self, II he can't change them.
Otherwise, he is certain to run
afoul OF the sense Of gratitude which
the mass of soldiers feel toward
those who undertake to entertain
them.
There was night, for instance,
when local drama group-one of
the most intensely local drama
groups certainly that ever exposed
its limitations in public-presented
a number called "Hillbilly Bride" at
a certain large Army hospital. Hill
billy Bride" was the perfect item for
giving the urbanite patient that old
feeling Of being city chap, and
correspondingly superior. Byt when
he mentioned how he felt, as he un-
failingly did that particular night,
"cozy time" (from Q to 10 after
lights out) was anything but cozy.
Admirers of the folk drama coun-
tered in their most emphatic folk
speech, giving "Htllbilly Bride" the
distinction of being the most hotly
debated piece Of entertainment OF
its season at that hospital.
A critic who happened to be pres
ent was smart enough to keep his
mouth shut. And thus to learn that
other people feel pretty keenly about
their entertainment, too!

as this? There are dozens of young
ladies wandering on and off studio

and their lovely faces as a rule are
about 95 per cent more blank than
Miss Lanes. We believe in hemi-
spheric solidarity and a better break
for Priscilla Lane.
However. the fact of Silver

Is cast as the charming daughter
OF a plushy gambler whose occu-
patton and hobby lead him to ruin
and deathbed scene. In order to
pay off fathers debts, the lady is
then miscast as daughter whose
gambling instincts come to the fore,
leading her to move to the West
Coast, where she sets up a highly
successful gambling establishment
OF her own. The money is sent to

NEGRO MORALE

Negro morale is on the upswing
in this war having reached an all
time low over the past year. 1t is
going upward. however, not be-
cause of anything any white lead
er Of the Nation has done or said;
1t is surging because Negroes now
are beginning to get a vision of
the unfolding of destiny's plan.
Negro leaders still doubt flow
cry phrases and guarantees in
charters thrown around the world
like the scent of old lavendar,
while not one light ever burns in
that same tower when Mississippi
goes on lynching bee of Negro
children. Negro soldiers, in fox
holes throughout the world, must
listen hard for a word from Dem
ocracy's Arsenal on such things as
the Mississippi holiday and the
fact that the United States gov
eminent still has branches which
bypass Negro workers.
There are still industries, lag
ging on war work and surroun-
ed by posters and billboards
which yell out about ten per cent
bon purchase and the things we
are fighting for, which still refuse
a black man an opportunity to
lend hand. Not one trade organ
