BOSS REFUSED AID TO A SICK WORKER Worker Had Paid In Fund 8 Years (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK.-Several years ago an Italian worker named Ancello, worked for the Eagle Pencil Company pushing a truck between depart- ments. For three years he had pgid fifteen cents a week into the company fake sick benefit fund. Then he took sick, He doubled up with colic which the doctor thought was lead poisoning. But when the case came up in the compensation court the company proved that there was no lead in the pencils they made — only graphite — so the case was lost. Refused Benefit Money ‘Then Ancello applied for his six dollars a week sick benefit to which he was entitled. All he got was a let- ter from “Lord” Berolzheimer, the millionaire owner of the works, and city chamberlain at that time, say- Ing he was sorry, but as Ancello was behind in three payments (45 cents) he had lost his right to sick benefit. Now it happened that the last time Ancello tried to pay his benefit the foreman had no change and told him to “let it go.” Perhaps he‘knew that Ancello was sick and that was a reg- ular racket. At any rate Millionaire Berolzheimer cheated a sick worker out of his six dollars a week benefit after he had worked for him for 3 years, because he was forty-five cents behind in his payments. And because this worker complained and did not take it lying down, he got fired in the bargain. ‘This is the same Eagle Pencil Com- Tell of Woman Who Killed Dog to Get Food to Exist On (By a Worker Correspondent) — CLEVELAND, Ohio.—-We noticed the article in the Daily about the family in Indiana who had to kill their dog in order to keep from starv- ing. This unbelievable story proved itself to be true right here in Cleve- land. 4 story was told by the priest of the Boulevard Christian Church on the West Side in Cleveland in his Sunday morning sermon: A man went to a woman’s house to shut off the gas. She had not paid her bill for a long time and the Gas Com- pany sent out the man to turn off the gas. She pleaded with the man not to turn off the gas. He said he was given orders to do it and he had to. Again she pleaded—just let it on a few minutes more. I want to finish this meat. There was a pot full of meat cooking ‘tn the stove. However the man bent on fulfilling his task asked rather surprised: How come you have money for meat and you don’t have money to pay your gas bill? The woman turned half pathetical- |ly and told the bill collector that he could go in her back yard and he would find the skin of their dog! They had killed their dog as a last resort and were going to have a square meal for a change! Even the well fed priest could not refrain from telling this pitiful story. It will make the priests pray louder; harder for workers’ social insurance, pany that is now trying to fasten a wage cut on its workers, All strength to the strikers.

ELDORADO, Ill.--I will write you a few lines to let you know some- thing about the Southern Illinois coal fields. Since I came back from Russia and Germany there has been a big change. Miners are making less wages and wages are being cut with modern ma- chinery. Peahody at $18 at West Frankfort voted to go back to work with machines about a week ago. Miners in other camps that have a job there don’t know what to do. They know now if the mines run every day that they will not get to work one wek out of a month. Miners there have béen living un a credit (bean orders) issued by the local union which they will have,to pay back which will be no less a checkoff than $10 per month. « The miners also will pay their nice little union dues which runs from about $10 up to $15 a month. House rent is also cheap there. The ones that live in company houses will have to pay back rent.
