DID MOONSHINERS LYNCH BROOKS?
The packers have not yet j
been accused of being respon- j
sible for the death of the negro j
strikebreaker Brooks. If this .
man's death is the result of the j
strike, then the packers are di- j
rectly responsible. They deny j
the right of the workers to
collective bargaining, unless
the same is done through the
"company unions" dominated
by them. They insist on the
reduction of wages to a level
at which no self respecting
man or woman can live and
raise a family in comfort and
decency. They refuse arbitra-
tion. There is nothing, they
sav, to arbitrate. They are the

HOUSE DELIVERY RESUMED
Two Cents Per Copy, 10 Cents Per Week
The Leader has received many requests to re-establish
it> carrier routes in the city. This demand has increased
from week to week, and our friends tell us they would
rather pay ten cents a week and have the LEADER de-
livered than to buy the LEADER on the street at one cent
per copy.
At ten cents per week, we can pay the boys five cents
per week for delivering the LEADER, and beginning Mon-
day, January 23, we will attempt to again establish carrier
delivery in the city in all territory south of Tenth street—
including Tenth street.
We want the co-operation of our friends in this work,
and ask that you call Maple 7H00, Circulation Department,
and give us the name and addresses of all people that want
the Leader at ten cents per week. For the present we will
continue the four-page paper, but you will get the real
news for ten cents per week. Later on, with the increasing
circulation we hope to be able to give you at least a six-
page paper, especially with the advertising support of those
merchants that are not controlled by the Chamber of Com-
merce. The Leader insists on remaining a paper FREE in
thought, FREE in expression, -FEARLESS AND TRI E
at all times, and will not he influenced through advertising
patronage.
We call on all Leader friends to help us in re-establish-
ing our carrier system. We want good carrier hoys, hut
above all we want every friend of the LEADER to talk
to his neighbor and induce him to take the LEADER and
keep informed on the struggle the common people are mak-
ing to maintain an American standard of living in spite
of the opposition of Bis Business.
