COMMUNISTS IN YORKSHIRE
Castleford (Yorkshire), a. large colliery centre, was a favourite field for Communist speakers during the recent coal dispute. One such speaker. Mr. Alfred Wilson, has seen the error of his ways (states the Liverpool "Echo”). “I was led to believe,” he says, “that I would get a *B6 10s. a, week job, but instead I got three months and a 4156 fine.” While in prison he 'had made up his mind that Bolshevism and Communism was "no good to anybody.” "You can take it from me,” he says, “that tho officials of tho Communist movement that I have come across are nothing but work-shys—men who have got soft jobs and are getting well paid t'or them. Tho Communists beat anything I have come across in the way of “beer-shifting.’ Tho Communist clubs are veritable drinking dens.”
