. of Local 22; Norman Thomas of the NEW YORK FUR WORKERS HOLD VIGTORY MEET Plan Parade Thru the Furriers’ Section Special to The Daily Worker. NEW YORK, June 17.—The victo- rious fur strikers jammed three meet- ing halls to celebrate the settlement of their 17 weeks’ strike which ended in their winning the 40-hour 5-day week, Telegrams of congratulations came from a dozen labor organizations and friends, and beautiful ‘baskets and’ wreaths of flowers were presented by delegations from Locals 22 and 2 of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union and from several settled shops. Congratulations were delivered in person by Louis Hyman, general man- ager of the Coal and Dressmakers’ Joint Board; Julius Portnoy, manager League for Industrial Democracy; Al- bert Weisbord of the United Front Committee in Passaic; M. J. Olgin, S. Liebowitz and Ben Gold of the general strike committee, The greatest enthusiasm prevailed at the crowded meetings. The strik- ers seemed ready for the continuation of the fight, which Gold stated would be necessary to rid the union of its present international leaders and win the furriers’ fight inside the union as well as outside. A referendum vote of the strikers on the terms of the settlement is being taken in all the meeting halls. The result of the ballot is so certain that a victory parade has been planned to march from Manhattan Lyceum up thru the fur section and home past the office of the joint board.

In the hotel they meet Ross’s lease-hound, Ben Skutt, who has arranged for Ross to meet a group of property owners, whose land Ross is anxious to get because it contains oil. Those that own the lands at first agree to share alike. But intrigues soon split the group. A number of oil promoters bribed a few of the more influential ones in an attempt to get the lease. Skutts enters with Ross and the boy when the discord is at its highest point. He attempts to get them to sign a lease with Ross. At the moment when threats begin to fly Skutt introduces Ross. Ross arises and in his southwestern American language tells the owners that he is an cil man; that they must beware of mere promoters and crooks; that he will drill quick and drill right and guarantee them good royalties. Many of the owners are impressed. But there are still recalcitrant ones. Bunny ie sitting near the window taking it all in. A boy appears at the window. He tells Bunny he is Paul Watkins and the lady of the house his aunt. He ran away from home but he is afraid his aunt will send him back. He wants Bunny to jo out in the kitchen on the excuse he wants a drink and open the back door, hen Paul can sneak in and get something to eat. Bunny does thi! i mee Paul on 9 9 unny does this and slips out 7 ° . e “How old are you?” “I’m sixteen. The next is Eli, he’s fifteen; and the Holy Spirit has blessed him—he has the shivers, and they last all day some- times. He sees the angels, comin’ down in clouds of glory; and he healed old Mrs. Bugner, that had complications, by the layin’ on of his hands. Pap says the Lord plans great blessings through him. Then there’s Ruth, she’s thirteen, and she had visions too; but she’s beginninin’ to think like I do; we have sensible talks— you know it is, you can sometimes talk to people that’s your own age, things you cdn’t ever say to growns-ups.” “Yes, I know,” said Bunny. “They think you don’t under- stand. They'll talk right in front of you, and what do they think is the matter with your brains? It makes me tired.” “Ruth is what makes it hard for me to stay away,” continued the other. “She said for me to go, but gee, what’ll they all do? They can’t do hard work like I can. And don’t you think I'd run away from hard work; it’s only that I want to get somewhere, else what’s the use of it? There ain’t any chance for us. Pap hitches up the wagon and drives us all to Paradise, where the Pentecostal Mission is, and there they all roll and babble all day Sunday, most, and the Spirit commands them to pledge all the money they’ve got to convert the heathen—you see, we’ve got missions in England and France and Germany and them godless nations, and Pap’ll promise more than he’s got, and then he’s got to Bive it, ‘cause it don’t belong to him no more, it’s the Holy Spirit’s, see. That’s why I quit.” There was silence for a space; then Paul asked: “What’s that big crowd of folks in there for?” “That’s the oil lease; didn’t you know about the oil?” “Yes, we heard about the strike. We're supposed fo have ofl on our ranch—at least, my Uncle Eby used to say he’d come onto signs of it; but he’s dead, and I never seen ’em, and I never expected no luck for our family. But they say Aunt Allie’s goin’ to be rich.” eas A sudden vision flashed over Bunny—of Mrs. Groarty, in her shiny robe of yellow satin, and her largé bare arms and bosom. Tell me,” he said, “does your aunt roll?” “Gosh, no!” said the other. “She married a Romanist, and Pap ealis her the Whore of Babylon, and we're not supposed to speak to her no more. . But she’s kind, and I know she’d gimme some grub, so when I found I couldn’t get a job, I come here,” “Why couldn’t you get a job?” “Cause everybody lectures you a ORs ly y nd tells you to go back “But why do you tell them about it?” “You have to. They ask where you live, and why ain’t you at home; and I ain’t a-goin’ to lie.” “But you can’t starve!” be 3 can before I'll go crooked. I had a fuss with Pap, and he says, if you depart from the Holy Word, the devil gets you, and you lie and cheat and steal and fornicate; and I Says, ‘Well, sir, I'll show you. I think a fellow can be decent without no devil.’ I made up my mind, and I’m a’goin’ to show him. I'll pay back Aunt Allie, so I’m only borrowin’ this grub.” Bunny held out his hand in the darkness, he said. “What is it?” “Some money.” “No, sir, I don’t want no money, not till I earn it.” ‘But listen, Paul, my Dad’s got-a lot pf money, and he gives me what I ask him for. He’s come here to lease this block from your aunt, and hé won’t miss this little bit.” “No, sir, I ain’t a-goin’ to turn into no bum; I didn’t run away for that. You think ‘cause I took some food out of my aunt’s pantry—” “No, I don’t think that at all! if you want to.” b “You put up your money,” said the other, with a note of harshness in his voice. ' “I ain’t'a-goin’ to call no loans, and you done enough for me already; so forget it.” “Well, but Paul— “Do what I say, now!” “But then, you'll come to the hotel tomorrow and have lunch with me?” “No, I can’t come to no hotel, I don’t look decent.” “But that don’t matter, Paul.” “Sure it matters! Your Dad’s a rich man, and He wouldn't want no ranch-boy at his hotel.” , “Dad wouldn’t care—honest, he wouldn’t! he says I don’t know enough boys, I stay by myself and read too much,” “Yes, but he don’t want no boys like me.” “He says I’ve got to work, Paul—honest, you don’t know Dad. He'd like to have you come; he’d like us to be friends.” There was a pauses while Paul weighed this proposition, and Bunny waited, as. anxiously as if it were the sentence of @ court, He liked this boy! He had never met any boy he liked so much as this one! And did the boy like him? As it happened, the sentence of the court was never pro- nounced. Paul suddenly started to his feet, crying, “What’s that?” Bunny also sprang up. From the direction of Mrs. Groarty’s house had come a clamor of voices, rising above the pounding of hammers and the sounds of labor in the neighbor- hood. The yells grew louder, and yet louder, and the boys dashed to the open window of the house. Everybody in the room was on his or her feet, and all seemed to be shouting at once, It was impossible to see many in the crowd, but two men close by the window made a little drama all by themselves, They were Mr. Sahm, the plasterer, owner of one’ of the “little little lots,” and Mr. Hank, the ex-goldminer, owner of one of the “big little lots”; they were shaking their fists at each other, and Mr. Sahm, the party of the first part, was shouting at Mr. Hank, the party of the second part, “You're a dirty, lymg, yellow skunk!” To which the party of the second part answered, “Take that, you white-livered puppy!” and. hit the party of the first part, Biff! a crack on the nose. The of the first part countered with a nasty uppercut to the jaw of the party of the second part, Bang! And so they went to it. Bift, bang! Bang, biff!—and the two boys gazed through the open win- dow, horrified, enraptured. Whoopee! A scrap! fis (To be continued.) “You take this,” And you can call this a loan,
