While America celebrated another ry of its revolution, 300 | r pickets spent the day behind} the bars for daring to picket the| struck shops. Many thousands of workers who spent the day in camps |} and resorts did not, however, forget and raised large sums of money to help free the arrested pickets and to continue the struggle. * * Unity Campers Forward $134. In response to an appeal of Broth- | ers Epstein and Mindel at Unity Camp on July 4th, $134.80 was raised for} the defense of the furriers.

The “Trombinicks” on the hill-top near Nitgedaiget are doing fine work on the job of raising funds for the defense. Two collections had already been made by them, but this time the “Trombinicks” surpassed all their previous efforts. Realizing the im- portance of raising money for the} st ng furriers they sacrificed their beds for the week-end, hiring these out to guests who could not be ac- |commodated at Nitgedaiget.

At present it has undisputed hegemony over the most rapidly ex- panding industrial section in Ameri- ca; but with Muscle Shoals operated by the people and selling juice at cost, the fattest and safest profit source in the world would vanish. Liberal reserves of half-famished Anglo-Saxon labor, now languishing in the backward hill regions of the south, are the main lure held eut by the power companies, which nowhere boast of cheap power in comparison with New England steam power. Ab- sence of competition coupled with cheap labor bait in fact enable the southern branches of the power trust to ignore their own comparatively high prices in their glowing adver- tisements.
