Long hours with lean pay envelopes and ever-lasting fear of losing this meager chance to.make allving! That is the Western Electric. Naturally the owners of Western Electric oppose labor organizations within the plant. They employ thousands of spies and expend money for spying in order to save on the wages to the workers, maintain long hours and the present miserable working conditions. These owners of the Western Electric know the power of organized labor..

The speech was delivered in connec- tion with the congress of the Russian communist party in Moscow, and Krassin charged the foreign office with complicity with the Berlin police. There can be little doubt but that the situation between the two nations has become more strained since the speech. The liberal organs of Ger- many insist that the government forthwith publish the notes that have been exchanged between the two gov- ernments in recent weeks, so that every citizen may judge for himself just what is what. The government apparently hesi- tates because it seems to have ad- mitted its wrong in several points. The nationalists, it is believed, will raise a howl when they see black on white that the German foreign office has actually apologized to the hated bolsheviks. Prominent Labor Men Will Tell R. I.

(By Federated Press) MONTREAL, Canada, June 17.— The arrest in Montreal of M. M. Camp- bell, who has been exercising consular authority in the name of the Ukrai- nian People’s republic and doing a fair business in worthless passports at $5 each is expected to reveal a flourishing Russian passport mill with headquarters at Washington, D. C. Campbell, who speaks neither Russian nor Ukrainian, maintains that he is acting as an agent for “The Extra- ordinary Diplomatic Mission of the Ukrainian People’s Republic,” conduc- ted by one Ivan Arden, an unfrocked Ukrainian priest. Many Ukrainian workers in the United States and Canada have been muleted for worthless passports {s- sued by this shadowy diplomatic mis- sion. Some have invested the savings of many months to return to their homeland, only to-be turned back at the border. Finally one ot fhe victims in Canada had Campbell arrested. It is sdid that similar steps will be taken against-Arden in the United States. Ex-Unofficial Hangman ® - Campbell has been.engaged in.sey- eral shady, businesses here., One of his recent ventures was to get up a cut-rate office for hanging people, in competition with the public hangman. In this office he used the name of Holmes. The Ukraine is a constituent state of the Soviet Union, and is so recog- nized. in all treaties the Union has made. with the foreign. powers. The Ukrainian People’s republic, organ- ized’ by the adventurer Petlura in 1918, was overthrown by a popular uprising that same year after a brief career of terrorism and pogroms.

NEW YORK, June 17.—Post office workers all over the east are up in arms over Coolidge’s veto of the bill to raise their pay on an average of $300 a year. In New York they are saying that it is useless to expect any- thing better from another Republican administration. Resentment is espe- cially strong against the insult in Coolidge’s veto message stating that “an organized effort by a great body of public employes to obtain an in- discriminate increase in compensa- tion should have the most searching scrutiny.” President Andrew O. Murphy, N. Y. Post Office Clerks’ association, points out that such a congressional invest- igation has already been made and re- sulted in the pay increase bill.

Workers Hely Family at Funeral a By JOHN HARVEY, That the true reason for the deatW by gas of the three Pullman’ boya last week was the persecution of city, officers, who threatened the oldest boy John Olesky, 15, with imprison ment in a reform school if he did not enter school, has just been dise closed. The morning before the boys werd found dead in their bed-room a City Officer came to the Olesky house, 10728 Langley Avenue, asking for John. John had seen the officer com ing and had hidden in the basement —trom where he must have heard the entire conversation between the offic er and his mother. The officer told the mother that John would either have to find work or go to school—and that if he didn’t do one of the two they would send him to a reform school. The boy knew that he\ could not find work and that the family, de- pendent upon his earnings and the meager city charity, could not sup port him while he went to school. John also heard the officer state that he should come to the City Hall Satur- day. morning at 11 o'clock. When asked by his. mother if he had heard what the officer said, he answered: “Yes! But before I go there I'll be dead.” John was found dead with his two brothers the following morning. The poverty of the Olesky family had been extreme ever since the death of the father. When John became four- teen the inadequate charity was ‘cut in half and he was told that he would have to go to work. From then on John felt the responsibility for the poverty of Mrs. Olesky and the six children, and when he lost his job and their poverty was even greater, he became very despondent. The day before the three brothers were found dead from gas; Stanley, 18, the next younger brother, had stated that he was going to stop School and look for work and the poverty stricken family wes forced to agree. The priests refused to officiate at the boys’ funeral when they found the family is unable to pay anything for their services. But the Pullman Junior Group of the Young Workers League collected some $68 for the Olesky family. Thé juniors also brought a wreath of flowers on which “From ‘the Pullman Send In that Subscription Today. NEW YORK, ATTENTION!
