Balkan -- February 09, 1909United Slavic League
Last Sunday, February 7th, the great idea of a United Slavic Front became a reality on a small scale. For years and years this idea was propagated among the people of Slavic extraction with no visible success. This time a cornerstone was laid by a few energetic people in Chicago.
As we said, last Sunday a meeting was held with representatives of all Slavic colonies present. After a long and heated discussion, it was decided to appeal to all our newspapers in America. A campaign was started to organize small units in every Slavic concentration. We sincerely believe that this campaign united all our people in a powerful central organization.
This idea has such wide fields for expansion and such importance for 2the welfare of our people here and abroad that with all our hearts we strongly recommend future work on its realization.

Radnicka Straza -- December 02, 1910Forward, Serbian Workers!
The time has come when also the Serbian workers in the United States will step forward in the fighting circle of the American workers. They must march openly under their own flag, armed with victory and enlightenment.
There was talk about a new Serbian Socialist paper. This paper printed in the cyrilic alphabet will be issued about New Year, under the name of Narodni Glas (People's Voice). The edition of the paper is in charge of the central committee of the Serbian department of the Jugoslav Workingmen's Educational and Political Federation.
We are convinced that this news will gladden Serbian workers all over America, and that they will concentrate all their powers on having it edited. Your support in money should be sent to the Serbian Socialist Committee, 2350 Clybourne Avenue, Chicago.

Soko (Sokol) -- May 01, 1912Serbian Sokol and its Ideal
Mankind is progressing steadily in science, religion, politics, and in people's education. Ways and means, forms and ideals are different, but the fundamental structure of progress is always the same.
New forms of education have been laid in the organization of the "Sokol," whose slogan is: "A healthy soul in a healthy body."
This slogan is as old as mankind.
Today, not only the "Sokol," a special organization to promote this idea, but even schools are getting interested in accepting this form of education as a standard point in their daily program.
What the Serbian "Sokol" in America wants: (1) The Serbian "Sokol" in America, as any other similar organization, is pursuing "sokol" ideas 2to promote strength in bodies by especially designed exercises. This improved strength is by all means very important to our new generation in America, where people work under very unhealthyful conditions. The American people a long time ago recognized the priceless value of physical education through promotion of their national sports, such as base-ball, foot-ball, fighting, wrestling, etc.
(2) The Serbian "Sokol" aims to promote democracy. They accept old and young, poor and rich, teachers and merchants, doctors and laborers. Social and economic differences are erased.
(3) The Serbian "Sokol" wants to develop healthy men and women.
The Bohemian "Sokol" organization through experience has been convinced that physical education is equally important for males and for females, so in the "Sokol" no differences exist between man, woman, girl or boy.
(4)The Serbian "Sokol" wants to improve their members' intellect. This 3purpose is accomplished by organizing lectures, courses, meetings, discussions, etc.
(5) The Serbian "Sokol" offers a disciplined education. They want to build strong characters; punctuality, patience, seriousness, etc., are promoted to the last degree.
(6) The Serbian "Sokol" also desires to prepare their members for the eventual possibility of becoming defenders of their old and new country.
As we can see, the ideals of the "sokol" are high and must be considered as such from any standpoint.
The means by which these ideals are promoted are very simple and inexpensive. It is true that the "sokol" is saving much money for its members by occupying their body and mind, which keeps them away from taverns and gambling. The result of "Sokol" work cannot be easily estimated. It is very high in ideals and has many tremendous possibilities for expansion.
Dr. Paja Radosavljevich.

Radnicka Straza -- June 16, 1915Proka (Procopius) Jovkic
A few days ago in one of our hospitals died Proka Jovkic, a poet. Our public knows him from his patriotic poems of recent years which appeared in the paper Pijemont.
But that is not all what Proka Jovkic gave to us, that is not the main thing.
The most important, the most beautiful of his writings is a collection of poems published under the penname of Hector Zucni (Hector, the embittered).
Those were the poems of a rebellious worker who felt upon his own shoulders the exploitation of rough modern capitalism in America. His poetry was not of a very refined kind, but there was in it temperament, poetical force, and revolutionary spirit.
They were the first unskillful accords of a worker-poet who promised to develop into a Socialist bard. Later on life made him tame and less rebellious.
2According to a certain psychological law a man living away from his Fatherland, even if not influenced by tradition, has a strange yearning for his country. Conditions in the Fatherland of today appear more lovable if you stay far away than if you right there......
When Proka Jovkic came to Belgrade, he fell for the Jugoslav ideology. He became her poet; sincere, not artful; out of exaltation and not for gain.
And yet.....such as he was, he was, not able to give all that what was in him.
Proka Jovkic -- the stock yard worker from the "jungle" so nicely portrayed by the great Socialist writer Upton Sinclair -- Proka Jovkic, as the stock yard worker...... stands high above Proka Jovkic, the Belgrade University student and patriotic poet of renown.
In later years he himself recognized and felt that little by little he approached socialism. He was preparing to gather material and ideas for a 3book about the life of immigrants in America.
Before death came to him in his last agony when the vision about a person's life is most clear, he sent an orderly to our editor's office with the message that Hector Zucni - Hector the embittered - and not Proka Jovkic, is just drinking the last cupful of the gall of life.
