AYA LI USE GAS BOMBS. BLACKJACKS AND GUNS ON PICKETS Arrest 12-Year-Old Girl in West Virginia By Worker Correspondent S, W. S. SHINNSTON, W. Va., August. 9.— Theresa Lasko, Maggie Kerowleski, amd little 12 year old Caroline Serento were arrested on the picket line at Jamison No. 9. They were arrested by State Policeman O. B. Banks and taken before Erwin Jenkins, justice of the peace. Then our constable, Mr. Minor, was called from his work at Jamison No. 8 to lock them up in the city jail. Kept Without Water. They were arrested at 6:45 in the morning. They demanded breakfast but none came, Later in the day they were given some sandwiches and cof- fee. All day they were kept there without a drink of water in a musty, filthy old cell. The three of them were in a tiny room with hardly space to turn around. In the evening. they got no supper. The bond was offered for the pris- oners, the constable, Mr. Minor, said he couldn't be bothered as he had to sleep all day—he worked that night at Jamison No. 8. The next day they were released on bail and were on the picket line again. Returning home they passed the com- pany store. A Chevrolet car was parked about 10 feet from the county road. In it were two mine guards, one Joseph Golden and Downey. Another OQ. R. Ruth was on the county road. They shot gas bombs in the faces of all the women and little children, When one of the pickets said he would have them arrested for that the chief guard called his guards to- gether and armed with rifles, revolv- ets and black jacks followed us up the road using profane language be- fore women and little children, That is lawful treatment of workers under capitalism. Clark Dobbie claims he made an investigation. How could Dobbie know anything about the gas bombs when he was at home in bed? One women, Mrs. Julie Senento, is sick in bed and under doctor’s care, from the affects of the gas. If Dobbie doesn’t believe it and wants proof, he can have it. Hush Up Scandal of Liquor Toting Perry, He’s a Millionaire If I.

However, indiana officials announced, no’ move to extradite Perry will be made. Bs EN THE DAILY WORKE R Rt Loe fe fare Cat Oe cocina. Page Five FARRINGTON URGES PA. MINERS TO GIVE ‘FUNDS FOR LEFT WING BUT EXPELLS ILL. MINERS FOR IT By ALEX REID (Seoretary of the Progressive Miners’ Committee.) ARTICLE XI, i The $750 that Farrington sent to Halapy was supposed to be for the purpose of cleaning out some of the rottenness in the Pennsylvania miners’ union, and was sent in answer to a request from Halapy for aid. We know that Farrington did not send the money to clean up the rottenness, but did send it for the purpose of trying to get the progressive miners’ support and to aid him in his ambition to+ reach a certain high international po- sition in the miners’ union, “He, Farrington, stated that Thompson, Watt, and Parry, have no right to accept donations from the miners in Illinois to expose the rotteness in District No. 12.” This statement is very interesting in view of the following correspond- enc between Halapy and Farrington. is (Copy of Letter.) Januany 11, 1921, “Mr, Frank Farrington, “District 12, U. MW. of A. “Springfield, Ill, ~~ ear Sir and Brother: “We are appealing thru you to the members of District No. 12,.for sup port, both moral and financial. Every principle of the U. M. W. of A. has, and is being flagrantly. violated, in this district, Facts and affidavits now on file are beyond dispute to prove the above assertion, and we sincerely believe that if our committee receives the financial aid that they will be able to purge the U. M. W. of A. of the many thieves and corruptionists from longer conducting their nefarious work. The U. M. W. A. cannot en- dure and thrive under the practices now in vogue in this district, and can only result if continued, in making the men, women and children of the mine workers practically slaves. “We are compelled to appeal to you by reason of the fact that the powers that be in this district: have threat- ened the membership with expulsion if any contributions are made to this cause. We therefore ask you to issue a circular for financial aid from your office by endorsing this letter and sending it to all your locals. Very respectfully yours,” MICHAEL HALAPY, President.” This letter asked Farrington to do the very same thing that Joe Tumulty asked the Illinois miners to do and for the same purpose exattl¥}\ the only difference being that in ‘tliis case, the rottenness was in Illitiois’ instead of Pennsylvania. It will+be)seen that Frank held it to be illegal in the Ili- nois case but legal in Renneylvania, Now Read ph ale Answer. “Mr. Michael Halapy, - “Pittsburgh, Pa. “Dear Sir and Brother: a “Answering your letter, ,of Jan 11 concerning matter of rais; he funds to purge our organization’ ot the corrup- tion in the Pittsburgh District Padvise that my judgment is tMat it is not necessary to issue @ civéular appeal for that purpose. ‘‘ 5! “Surely to God theré are enuf hon- est mine workers inthe Pittsburgh District who would ms ee eer to con- OUR DAILY Y PATTERNS A PRETTY FROCK FOR MANY OCCASIONS. 5022.

If any circular is to be issued I think it should be prepared and signed by your committee and aissued from Pitts- burgh. I am satisfied that if you should issue such a circular that quite a number of our local unions will re- spond to such an appeal, but by all means | think the circular should be prepared by your committee, and be issued from Pittsburgh, and it should not only be sent into Illinois but into every other district in our organiza- tion. Yours truly, FRANK FARRINGTON.” It will be noticed that Farrington urges the same thing be done in Penn- sylvania, that Thompson, Watt, Parry and Tumulty urges in order to clean up the rottenness in Illinois.

He asked us, the children of the family, if “we would like to read such a book. Of course we said yes, for we all like fairy tales. We thanked dad for the money which we re- ‘ceived. FAIRY TALES WORKERS CHILDREN by Herminia Zur Mihlen Is the best book I have ever read because it tells about the poor peoples’ struggle against the rich and it makes me think that some day they will succeed and become the lead- ers of the world, I also liked this book be- cause it had poor people in it and not kings and queens which I imagine. think are very hard to I liked the stories of “The Little Grey Dog” “The Rose Bush” and “The Sparrow”. The story “Why?” is very interesting be- cause I liked the courage of little Paul when he wanted to know why it was so very hard for the workers, How he found the little dryad who told him she would answer his questions when the workers would awaken from their sleep and become wise. She said that glorious day for the ‘workers would ‘come maybe eighty years from flow or may- be tomorrow but it all depended on us, the workers. Fairy tales for workers children is the best book I ever read. Fraternally Yours, Helen Viskocka, Fairy Tales for Workers Children Is also the best book that your children will enjoy.
