West Virginia Citizens Want Schools Not Gunmen
From the Duluth Labor World of November 19, 1921:
HUNTINGTON, W. Va., Nov. 17.-Citizens of this county are circulating petitions calling on state officials to oust the cossack system and use the money for public schools and road improvements. The petition declares:
“On account of the number of unemployed in our county, and because of the long-felt need for better roads, and in order to extend our sympathy, and put the same into action for the 20,000 children or more deprived of the privileges and benefits of school in our state, we, the undersigned, offer this as our request that the state police be discharged from further service in our county, and the expense of keeping up same be used to employ teachers and building roads, thereby giving employment and education to the needy. We do not believe the service of the state police is needed in this county.”

Bay County, Florida – Union Organizer Seized by Thugs, Left for Dead
From the Duluth Labor World of November 19, 1921:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Officials of the A. F. of L. have called the attention of the department of justice to the flogging of John E. Winstanley by a Florida mob, who took the unionists from a train and after beating him, threatened his life and left him for dead.
Winstanley is a representative of the International Union of Timber Workers. While on a train near Sherman, Florida, he was seized by a mob, thrown into an automobile, followed by an another auto, filled with thugs. After a journey of several miles Winstanley was taken from the auto and placed across a railroad tie, when he was flogged. The leader of the mob said:
“—— —— you, we’ll show you we don’t want no union organizers in Bay county.” After the mob left him, Winstanley crawled to a house where he was cared for and later driven 14 miles to a small hamlet where a deputy United States, marshal placed him in a hotel.
It is believed the mob can be punished by federal authorities for violating the United States law against the forceful removal of a passenger from an interstate train.
Note: According to the Palatka Daily News of November 4, 1921, Winstanley was hospitalized at Marianna, Florida.

Mother Jones In Mexico
———-
Mexico City, Oct. 4.-Just a line to let you know I have just returned from the palace where I have had a long audience with President De La Barra. At the close of my interview the Mexican guaranteed me protection and my right to organize the miners of Mexico. This is the first time that any one has ever been granted that privilege in the history of the Mexican nation. It is the greatest concession ever granted to any one representing the laboring class of any nation.
I also spent an hour with President-elect Madero and he granted me the protection and aid from the government that I called for. I am the first person who has been permitted to carry the banner of industrial freedom to the long suffering peons of this nation.
MOTHER JONES.
