These men did not live up to the motions made by the 800 men at a meeting. So we lost our clear case. Here is how it all happened A week ago Saturday, the. super j and the manager went to Colum- bus to see “Pussy” Tedlow, the U. M. W. of A. henchman of Lewis, regarding a new agreement Our district president refused to nego- tiate a new agreement because he knew we would turn it down flat This why they went to Tedlow. Of course, he let them have their own way. Tedlow told they could lay off the drillers from the arkwall machine, and it will be all right for the workers to drill the ® ft. hole. and buy their powder. He told them they could pay 58 cents a ton When we had a meeting, the rank and file voted solidly not to drill the hole, and if “Pussy” Tedlow wanted them that; to Call Off Strike to drill the hole, he could come and | drilll it all by himself.

When he was very little he ran around barefooted and almost naked and played in the sun, When he was hungry he asked his mammy for another sweet potato. But there were lots of brothers and sisters and never enough sweet potatoes to go ‘round. When he was seven, he went into the cotton fields. All day jlong, he picked cotton and the thorns tore his fingers. In between cotton harvests, he'd go to school. He learned how to read and write and that was about all. He grew older. When the peaches were ripe for picking he got work in the big orchards. He brought the money home and felt quite proud to be the wage earner of the family. Harvest time over, there was no more work near home. So Clarence said good-bye to his mother and | took the little bundle of sweet pota- toes and left home for good. From place to place he roamed, looking for work. He got all kinds of odd jobs, baling paper, running errands for a store-keeper, driving a pair of mules for a farmer. “Mister, is there anything I can do?—Just for my meals?” He met hundreds of boys’ like himself, riding the rails. Some came from distant places, Too many mouths to feed at homes and not enough food. They were hounded in every town like criminals and all they wanted was work. Clarence learned how to hop the 'freights, and how to keep out of the way of the sheriffs and the detectives who were always waiting when the long train pulled in at | the station.

There were other black boys and two white girls dressed in overalls. When the train stopped, the sheriff and his men were wait- ing. They dragged the frightened Negro boys from the cars. “Get ‘em all. We'll take them to Scottsboro jail.” The sheriff asked the girls, “These the black devils that at- tacked you?” Clarence knew that was what they always said, when they wanted to lynch a Negro to serve a lesson to other Negroes.

The furniture lay there practi- cally all day, as the man could not find any private house, without the “rent in advance” payment. Being out of work for four years, nat- urally he has no money. Eventually one of the miners living in the Daisytown patch let the man move the furniture into his house. Now he two families with their chil- dren are crowded in a four-small room shack, while there are at least sixteen empty rooms in the Daisy- town patch alone. It is safe to say that over 100 families have bee.. or will be evicted in the 3 Vesta mines. Cut Drive Felt In Countiés By a Worker Correspondent PAYNESVILLE, Mich—In this county the relief is being system- |atically lowered. Recently it was admitted by one of the relief in- vestigators that there will be dras- | tie cuts on relief and many will be cut off totally, and already they are putting these measures in prac- tice. Comparing this county to other counties af Upper Penninsu- lar, the county is giving out less relief, The main reason why this is so is that recently we have been too passive, we haven't put up real, organized, mass pressure to get more relief and a better living. Now we are faced with a long, cold winter and jobs are scarcer than ever: The farmers’ income also is now lower becaus of low prices, drought, rain, etc. On top of all this, the Roosevelt admin- istration anounces that it is not going to give relief, that the relief must be taken care of by the local and state governments, But the county says it is broke and can’t even feed us at the poor farm. The officials think that they control the whole situation and that we are ;cowed and beaten. But the relief is going from bad to worse, and we will see more action to get real re- |lief without any discrimination. DOLLARS HELP MORE!

Misloader BlocksNew Couneil By a Mine Worker Correspondent LA BELLE, Pa—The Melrose | mine near here works only 3-4 days in each two week period. The min- ers. that work in the mine are up jagainst it. The majority do not make as much as the families re- ceive, that are on the relief. Our local of the UM.W.A. has | had a “relief” committee, but de- spite this, many of the needy families could not get relief. There are many reasons for this, but. the main reason is that the committee . did not. know how to carry on a struggle because there is nothing either in the U.M.W.A. con- stitution or agreement concerning the unemployed or part time em- ployed miners. Some of us hearing of the work carried on by the Unemployed | Councils here in Fayette County, came to the conclusion that our best bet was to join the Unemployed Council. We got in touch with the U. C. organizer; got a credential from him, and went from house to jhouse. The result was that we |Signed up 70 members. Then we jcalled a meeting to elect officers, and grievance committees, also to take up immediately the cases of | the miners who need relief, clothes, | shoes, medical needs. etc. However, the day we called the meeting, Mr. Jack Watson, who was recently kicked out as the president of this local of the U.M.W.A., told the men that any one who attends this meeting will be expelled for 99 years from the U.M.W.A. Some of the members of the local, including the financial secretary, then made a phone call to the district office of District No. 4 U.M.W.A., to ask for advice. They were told by the Dis- trict president that insofar as he knew the U. C. was not dual to the UM.W.A. Secondly, the U. C. helped many of the U.M.W.A. mem- bers, and that - thousands of the U.M. W. A. members in Fayette County are in the U. C. Despite this, Watson continued to scare the men. This, and the con- fusion, prevented us from going through with the meeting as planned. In the meantime, the families that need relief, clothes, shoes, etc., should remember that Watson is responsible for preventing them from taking their grievances to the Relief. Watson is checkweighman at Mel- rose mine. Many.miners voted for him because he is crippled and can’t work at any job. Now miners are beginning to say that he is crippled in the head also, and that they will never vote for him again. We, who wished to have an U. C., got in touch with the county organ- izer, and he promised to send a committee to the next meeting of the local to explain to the entire membership the program of the U. C. Despite Watson, and his like, we will build a militant unemployed movement here. Mary Morrow, Children’s editor, working for them. Sentence is postponed.

Clarence couldn’t quite under- stand why they were striving so hard to free him and the other boys. But it was good to know that there were people who cared. And, thinking about them, he’d feel happy, and pick up his guitar, strum ‘gently over the strings and sing in a soft voice of how happy he was that there were people who were fighting for him, people who cared. ° The Scottsboro case has become known all over the world.

ALL OUT FOR THE AFFAIR OF THE YEAR. Superflueus Hair in Women . G., Bronx, N. Y.:—Superfiuous hair growth in women is a quite common condition. The degree of cosmetic defect is, of course, de- pendent on the amount of hair present—especially on«the face. There is no doubt that there is a definite connection between disturb- ance ein activities of the glands of internal secretion and abnormal hair growth, but unfortunately, this connection is not sufficiently under- stood to be of any practical value at present. Therefore, we believe that gland treatments will be of no help to you in this condition. By ANN frst ws turn this column over to- day to some of our readers. We will feel that our column is actually what it was meant to be, if hundreds of women write us their opirrions, their problems in shop and home, their struggles for better conditions, and the meth- od of these struggies. We will print suitable poems, very short stories, etc, Also we will use use- ful hints to housewives, practical recipes, material on children. We hope the common experiences re- lated in this column, will give some direction to our struggle for better working and living condi- tions, Women, after work, sit down a moment with pencil in your hand, What has happened today in your shop? Housewives, push pots and pans aside a mo- ment, Write to your column. And now, here are some of our readers, ae eae “'IMID WIFE” writes: “How often XI have met timid wives who spend miserable nights and tearful days worrying about their husbands on Unemployed Marches, organizing unions, in strikes. To these women, through your column, I want to speak, for I was once such a woman. First, you must realize that your fears are greatly exaggerated, be- cause you are far away from the actual struggle and your imagina- tion runs away with you. The only cure for this isto find out for your- self. Go along with your husband. Always the ones behind the lines are afraid. This is not because only brave people go into the struggle, but because anyone who becomes convinced of the necessity for strug- gle for better conditions, finds him- self in the fight, and once in there, the conviction of your rights itself generates the courage to carry through the struggle. “We have reached a time in his- tory when we are not just the dumb tools of time. We are now conscious of our power to make and mold his- tery to meet the demands of hu- manity. So—come out of the kitchen, and into the battle.” omer tate. ERE’S a poem sent by “Hillside Housewife on Relief.” She writes “I am a new comrade and consequently am bubbling over with enthusiasm.” “If you can watch your dinner pail get lighter And eat less at your other mealtimes too If you can pull your belt a little tighter ; 2 And smile as though it didn’t make you blue : If you can live on beans and bread and tea And go without a coat when weather's cool, © You'll be what N.

Inase uch as physicians are being so obe ously exploited in the clinics, it is not difficult to understand their lack of interest in being further involved |by such tedious treatments.
