LIBERAL CLUB WILL HEAR MINE STRIKE AGITATORS

Starting its spring season, the Liberal Club will gather Wednesday afternoon at 1.45 o'clock in the Common Room of Lowell House to listen to three speakers who will present the cause of the National Committee to Aid Striking Miners Fighting Starvation.

The Boston branch of the Committee has secured Polly Boyden, Authoress, Harold Hickerson, playwright, and Jim Garland, Kentucky miner, to address Liberal Club members in the afternoon before pleading to a large gathering in the Old South Meeting House Wednesday night.

In a letter to the Club, Eugene Gordon, secretary, describes the conditions prevalent in the Kentucky coal fields. "They are striking against a wage of 20 cents a ton for mining coal which sells for $16.50 a ton. Poverty is so horrible that men and women are trying to cover their bodies in rags, while disease reduces the very vitality that is needed to bear them up."

The New York Committee headed by John Don Passos, has enrolled such prominent figures in both literary and social service work as: Sherwood Anderson, Floyd Dell, Babette Deutch, Waldo Frank, Corliss Lamont, Lewis Mumford, John Cowper Powys, Upton Sinclair, Lincoln Steffens, and Genevieve Taggard.
