Lewis was flim- finned and bunkoed by the British Empire Steel Company, and his lac- keys are no longer able to live up to the generous promises they made to the miners. Some Debt! In addition, to their other troubles the “cuckoo officers,” “Slimy” Barret ind Company have a debt of $100,- )00 hanging around their necks and the business men who advanced them wwedit now threaten to put them be- sind the bars. Roguery does not al- ways pay. ‘he letter follows: Dear Comrade Myerscough: Your etter of March 6th had evidently gone to the Pen after I left there and nly reached me here two days ago. While in Dorchester, I found tne yuards all tight and while I could not yet any papers of any kind, yet thru some of the guards { learned much of what was going on, on the outside wspecially about the U, M. W. con- rention. 1 am not a bit the worse lor my jail experience, 1 lost a few pounds of flesh, was only abis to tip the scales at 136 pounds, when 1 tame out, but just about my “tight- ng’ weight. vohn is imposed officers in this listrict are in a bad way. First, they yould not tell the men whether they were on strike, or a suspension. Then they contracted over one hundred thousand dollars debt with the mer- thants in relief during the “strike” nm “suspension” and now John L. won’t pay, saying that they had no suthority to contract this debt. The ittie merchants are in the air, their mall working capital being used up n this debt and are threatening garrett and Co., with the law. Then he miners voted down their “Mon- weal Agreement” and Dalrymple wears this is the first time in the iistory of the mine workers that men wer voted against an agreement regotiated by their officers, Afraid To Go To Meetings. The proposed contract is actually scut to the men. None of the Lewis nen dare go to a local union but tontent themselves by talking to the nen thru the yellow press. They are, j feel sure,’on the run and I expect vig things to take place here betore May. I also feel sure that the of- icijis of the British Empire Steel Sorporation have doubled-crossed Lewis. Before the contract was negotiated Dalrymple, Barrett and Co. pro- aimed that they would come back with the 1921 rates, This the of- lcials of the company had promised 1s a reward for deposing Livingstone ind the rest of us, but when it came © the real shown-down, they refused % come across, so they had to take what they could get. All of these hings taken together are making the ranch good and sick. The question of the debt, and the question of the action to be taken in tiew of the adverse vote comes up at he Internationa Executive Board in April, and I would not bat an eye to ee Lewis pull up stakes in Nova Scotia. Meantime the locals here ire becoming more aggressive, de- nanding a convention to; first, draw ip new wage demands and second, sppoint men to run a district election. Jince coming out on the 5th, I have ield packed meetings every night, ex- tept three nights, and I know these neetings are worrying the Fat-men © deat We shall keep up the fight intil the Lewis gang are driven out.

Like all little babies, it started to cry. Immediately a mother, full of vmother-love for her little one, soothed her y to sleep, Now I will call this little baby Anna, be- cause it was a little girl, As time passed, little Anna grew from babyhood to childhood. Every time she cried her mother comforted her just as she had done whén she was a tiny baby, with the same mother-love and understauding. When little Anna was about seven years old she soon found there were many things’ she wanted that her mother could not give her: good food to eat and warm clothing to wear. So one day she came to her mother’s knee and said: “Mother, why does not daddy give you money every week to buy us things wath, like other little girls’ daddies do?” Mother, looking at her little girl, replied: “Daddy can’t get work be- cause he is trying in his way to help little girls and boys who are worse off than we are.” Little Anna opened her eyes and could not understand how it was daddy and mother. As she grew older she found that there were plenty of little children badly fed and clothed; and she won- dered what was wrong, She soon found out there-was plenty of food and clothes for ev in the world but if you could not get wor and earn money you could not have plenty to eat. So she thought when she up she would help these peo to get work. But, then eed everybody was so busy look- ing after themselves; they forgot alt about the people who had no work; so she joined the Junior Sec- tion of the Young Workers League, hoping by UNCLE WIGGLY’S TRICKS ate 2 ay possible to be worse off than her page statement of the candidacy of George L. Berry of the Printing Pressmen for the Democratic nom- ination for vice president. No men- tion is made of the character of platform or running mate which Berry would demand, but his record and indorsements are elaborately set forth. The statement declares that Ber- ry’s candidacy is indorsed in writ- ing by every member of the execu- tive council of the A. F. of L., and by “practically every international labor union.” =Indorsement is claimed also from “practically every city labor council and state federa- tion of labor in every state ot the Union.” Berry is a newspaper édi- tor, trade union leader, an exten- sive farmer and landowner, is direc- tor of a bank, and is interested in mercantile and timber enterprises. Of his trade union character it life better for the little ones that are being’ born every day. I am sure all the little Communist read- ers would like to do the same. And you can only do so by getting all your little friends and yourself hgh jto the meetings of the Junior Sec- tion. Aids Germany’s Starving. (Note—Thig is a letter from a thild of a miner in Barrackviile, W. Vad: Dear Comrade: I took a little ac- tivity for the starving children of Germany. There has been held a dance at Grantown on First of March. By instruction of our group of young workers that I was supposed to be !at that dance and collect money for the starving children of Germany. So I went there and done my duty the best I could do it. I collected $14.05. Every one I saw for this purpose they were surprised. When they saw me ‘doing the job, And lot of them asked me who instructed to do this, I told them Young Workers Group of Bar- rackville. Then they asked me what kind of a group is that. That that is the first time they heard of such |a group, So I went in a debate with them and I explained to them all about it. They even did not forget to ask me am I going to send it in any of the papers that they can’ see their names and sum of money. I told them that I am going to send it to the DAILY WORKER. I had the answer that they do not have the paper. told them why don’t they get one. That that is The only paper that the work- ing man should read. They asked me the address and I gave it to them, I hope they will subscribe for it. Fur- thermore I can say that the young movement at Barrackville are pro- gressing good. But one thing is that we are going to lose our group leader. He is going away from this state to Pennsylvani I that the branch at Barrackville furnish us another one like he was. I called all the courage on many occasions in the maintenance of peace, the sanctity of contract, and the harmonious re- lationship between employers and employes. This is best demonstra- ted by his courage mm osvttling the outlaw newspaper web pressmen’s strike, which occurred in New York City last September, for which ac- tion he received the unanimous com- mendation of not only the Ameri- ean Federation of Labor but of lead- ing newspaper and magazine pub- lishers and the general public of America.” Chicago Russians Unite in Defense ...
