Dixon, a white colonist straw-boss whom ‘Dicharson has taken into his confidence, betrays him, and after way- laying him to the Terminus Bar, knocks him unconscious with a gun. Dicharson makes his way to the home of his friend, and Hey and his native girl, Pauline, nurse him. Dicharson tries to obtain redress, but fails. He becomes very ill with malaria, He is taken to the hospital where he together with the wretched natives who are lying there are mistreated and starved. When he finally gets strong enough to drag himaclf out, he goes to Hey’s house and finds that the latter has had a bad fall. * * * By JACQUES DICHARSON. WENT down to the Grande Rue to Deriex’s. Deriex’s is one of the swell restaurants in Port au Prince, owned and managed by a French colonist. It is rumored that he had been “vacationing” in the Guineas hefore coming to Haiti. I took a piece of paper, borrowed a pencil and wrote George a note, I told him how sorry I was that he was in the hospital. I told him that I had come out that morning and was ashamed but could not go and see him. I had suffered so much in that dreaded place, that the mere thought of having to enter it once more would set me crazy. I finished by telling him that I would start for Santo Domingo that same day, and that I would never fail to write him. * * I HAD forty cents as I left Hesco’s behind me in the blistering sun. I figured on taking the road thru the. Nordby, St. Marc, Gonaives and Cap-Haitian. That road is more frequented and perhaps I wo obtain a job in one of the towns. That would give me enough money +) continue my journey, into the land of Gomez. That afternoon the natives forming a continuous stream going and coming on the trail grinned friendly and astonishingly at me. They were the peasants. The back-bone of Haiti. They are far from havitys the same mental attitude as the city people. They are not influenced Hy Wall Street’s persuasive civilization. Most of them are children at eart, That night I slept under the stars. to me, I loved the sound. tired eyes that night. A faint murmur would come The tom-toms.... It helped close my I would have slept well if it had not been for the mosquitoes, seemed to me that I had been persecuted all my life by them—Miniature bombers they were. Next morning the sun’s piercing rays awakened me. I got up and resumed my march toward Utopia, or would it turn out to be another Hades? Quien sabe. . FIVE days later I bought some salt herrings and a few biscuits from a young girl mounted on a bourrique, the Haitian she-ass. She had just come from town and had caught up with me. I kept time with her a little while. Her bourrique was walking. I remember her vividly as I sit now. Remember her with her scavle, headgear, A big red handkerchief, striped with blue, jauntly. posed on one side of her head. She was pretty. Her bosom heaved, as she’ related to me the recent quarrel she had had with her petit- chatt! . . . She thrilled me as she told me her undying love for him. Love... . What was Love, ... It was not for me or my kind... . I had no room fo=> it in my life; it was not mine anyway, it seemed. It belonged to -~y masters. I envied her as she left me a little later. parent contentment in life. While I had been thinking I had captured a few more of those elusive kilometers. I was nearing St. Marc. A little later I entered the town. one was looking at me. They were staring as if they had never seen a white man before. No, I don’t think they had, that is in my present condition, I haye dark brown hair, but by a bizzare whim of nature have a blondish red sort of beard when I allow it to grow. So you see the picture I must have offered as I tottered in thru the main street. Dirty with five days dirt on me, my old Khaki pants dymg from premature old age. Whiskers, native hat, ragged blue shirt. All that J needed was an ass. Then they would have thought that I was the com- ing of the second christ. I PASSED thru the whole town and on the other side got some water from a friendly native and washed up. I spent the last of my forty cents for five herrings and ten biscuits. With that provision I would reach Gonaives. Three days later found me there. I had not fared badly, I had shared nattes with the natives, and gladly accepted their bread-fruit and yams. Before I came into town I had shaved at a peasant’s hut with a piece of broken bottle that he venerably kept there for that purpose. His wife had kindly washed my trousers and patched them up the best way she could. I DIRECTLY went into one of the biggest stores and asked the owner, a Monsieur Lenoir, for a job. He gave me one at the salary of $30 a month. I had to be some sort of a handy man in the office, typing, making out prices on invoices, and keeping books. He advanced me a few dollars so that I could look half way decent. I was stopping at the Sea-View Hotel. The proprietor, a Haitian bourgeois, was not a bad fellow. As long as I paid him regularly he never said anything, he agreed to everything I said. Except on one occasion. It was on a Saturday night. I had to pay the tailor that night, so I told him that I would not be able to settle my bill until next Tuesday.... Tableau!... We had an argument. In the midst of it he called me a dirty bolshevik. I can’t understand or never could how people will miscomprehend and misapply that word. Bolshevik «+. one should be proud to be that... .

The Cooper Union meeting was held at the exact time that I. L. G. W. officials, cloak nd leading Tammany politicians ere meeting with Gov.

With the announcement after the conference that “negotiations” be- tween the bosses and the compan union will be resumed on Wednes day, it became increasingly clear| that a new “Governor's Commis- | sion lar to the one of 1925, now over the heads of the kmakers. A bitter 19 weeks’ trike followed the decisions of that mmission which ordered given to the bosses concessions for which the <vorkers had fought for years. Lieut, Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, who was chairman of the 1925 com- on, and Raymond V. Ingersoll, 000-a-year “impartial — chair- man” of the industry, will join in the so-called negotiations which will begin Wednesday. These “negotiations” are expected to be similar to the shadow-boxing| stage play engaged in between the manufacturers and the company for many weeks prior to the stop- page. Sasha Zimmerman, one of the leaders of the Industrial Union, acted as chairman of the meeting, which was addressed by Louis Hy- man, Ben Gold and Joseph Boru- chowitz. Zimmerman pointed out that on the day of the fake stoppage, the company union chiefs were un+ able to gather together more two miserable meetings. While the thousands of cloakmakers were meeting in Cooper Union, Zimmer- man said, the clique was calling their mythical “28,000 strikers” to) two meetings, one in Brownsville Labor Lyceum and the other in As- toria Hall. The latter place, the speaker said, was reported practical- ly empty. Reckoned Without Workers. All the speakers bared in detail the fake stoppage, and declared that its main purpose was to squeeze more thousands out of the cloak- inakers, The bosses and their agents reck- onel without the workers, they said, and this was revealed by the empti- ness of the I. L. G. W, halls on the one hand, and the enthusiastic mass | demonstration of th€\ Industrial Union in Cooper Union, on the other hand. The speakers also told the work- ers not to be terrorized by the gang- | sters and pickpockets in the hire of | the company union. j; where the workers show resistance, | |these worthies make themselves |scarce, they said. Great Enthusiasm. The Cooper Union meeting was ;temarkable both in attendance and enthusiasm despite the attempts of |the Schlesinger-Dubinsky gangsters |to interfere with workers on their way to the hall. Just before the meeting began, a score of these strong-arms attempted to invade the hall, but the workers gave these |worthies an impre: well, and the I. L. G. W. thugs re- |luctantly left. They later gathered around Eighth St., betwcen Second an Third Av where they tried |to attack workers as they made their way to the hall.
