Has it occurred to the good breth-
rem of the cloth in Massachusetts,
who are still Grating so loudly and
inveighing so pitilessly agains t
Rockefeller and his dollars, that the
ground on which their churches
stand was stolen by their ancestors
from the people to whom their God
had given it? They must either adj
nit that grand larceny of real estate
or put up in defense the theory on
which the Israelites justified the
campaign of Joshua on the other
side of Jordan, the massacre of the
Cannanites, regardless of age sex,
or previous condition of servitude,
and the seizure of their lands and
other properties. But our pious
friends need not go back so far as
the despoiling and determination of
the red men in New England and
elsewhere to find lots of trouble in
working on their theory. There
are many churches still standing,
and others that are the lineal de-
scendants of churches whose build
ing funds were, in whole or in part,
the proceeds of lotteries. Harvard
was helped in that way. But there
is a still more troublesome truth
than that awaiting the good men
who think they have a grievance
against Rockefeler's money. Much
of the money that helped in the
building of the churches and in their
support in earlier times, il is said.
came out of the slave trade. Have
those brethren such a spite against
their ancestors as to impel them to
condemn all the old-ime Christians
who countenanced the robbery and
determination of the Indians. the
operation of lottery schemes in the
interest of religion, and the use of
money made in the slave trade to
erect houses of worship and pay the
salaries of preachers? Let's all be
consistent If we must have the his
tory of all the dollars that we spend,
if they must be honestly earned by
the man who tenders them to us, let
us to the best of our ability, to free
ourselves from condemnation due to
those who knowingly accept the
wages paid by those who earn wick
edly.-Ex.

tana, that the Socialists would be
proud of.
Get all the thorough Socialists you
know to join the organization and
see that your local secretary keeps a
supply of stamps on hand.
We want to take advantage of the
summer months to cary on an open
air agitation in unorganized as we'll
as organized districts. The co-ope-
ration of the local is necessary to
have this done and the greater the
sale of special organizing stamps the
more work that will be accomplished.
Discuss the soap box method at
your local meetings and see how
much work along this line should be
done in your vicinity this summer
Three speakers could be kept at
work during the months of June,
July and August and then each
place could only be visited once a
month by a speaker

others. These will suffice. / am
wondering where Comrade Lynch
could have been all this time.
What dose he suppose the Socia-
lists have been doing in the A. +.
of L., all these years? What is it
that has made Gompers and his en-
tire retinue of plute-worshippi n z
trade autonomy benehciaries so
uneasy and so hysterical2 A mon
arch only gets uneasy when his
throne begins TO tremble. But
Comrade Lynch has thrown in his
influence with the fellows who are
trying to split the trade union
movement, to the end that the So
cialist strength may be drawn out
of the A. +. of l.. AS much as is
foolish enough to be drawn of-so
as to remove Gompers' cause for
uneasiness! Great tactics, those
1t comes just in time to give Com
pers breathing spell and a chance
to get frmer grip on said throne.
We of the A. +. of h., do not
thank you a little bit for trying to
spoil our fight, Comrade Lynch.
As to my belonging to a union that
fosters certain alleged abuses-I
BELIEVE IN MAJORITY RULE.
What | cannot cure, | must endure,
until | get the chance to bring
about a change. 1t is my convic-
ton, however, that the abuses limited
at are vastly less in evidence than
Comrade Lynch likes to suppose.
| am opposed to high initiation fees,
the same as the average unionist is.
But | am not opposed to high dues.
The union must have the sinews of
war and the men get it back in
higher wages. What they accompl-
ish is not for themselves exclusively.
The non unionist outside benefits
from it, as you must admit. And
they escape having to fight for
the better conditions. In 1901 the
brewery workers in Milwaukee
worked fifteen hours a day. Now
they work eight and get an increased
wage amounting to IS per cent.
The carpenters and other building
trade unions were working from
sunrise to sunset. Now they work
8 hours and have increased their
wages 100 per cent. The brick
layers used to work 10 hours for
81. SO a day. Now they work 8
hours for 81. 40.
1t is not generous to question an
opponents good faith, but | cannot
help noting Comrade Lynch h IS
eulogium of the New York People
as paragon of guilelessness, while
in the same breath he scolds about
petty chickering's, continued vitup-
Grafton and personal hatred" Now,
Comrade Lyncy, where the wide
world over can you find another pa

chickering's, vituperation and hatred

There is absolutely none other so

deported on account of a growth
in his neck.
That, he declared, was cured
after his enforced return to Ger
many, but when he returned the
officials were ready for him again.
This time they decided to deport
him on the ground that the United
States had no use for a man SIS
years old. On the 10Th a woman
was deported with a baby, an
American citizen, born that very
day. She had lived for fourteen
months with her husband, who was
earning a comfortable livelihood.
Her mind had been temporarily af-
fected by the strain of approaching
childbirth, and she had been sent
to Bellevue, whence she had been
transferred to Wards Island, and
registered as a public charge, in
spite of her husbands protest, and
his offer to give abond for her sup
port in private asylum. She re-
covered her reason as soon as her
baby was born, but her home was
broken up and she was shipped
abroad in condition that threat
ened her life along with the boy
whose birth made him eligible to
the presidency of the United States.
1t is atrocities like this, which
have no relation with the original
purpose of the immigration laws,
which give foreigners the impress
sion that the United States is in
habited by ages.-Collier's.

Alien Law Barbarities.

The callous stupidity on the part
of immigration officers which has
led to the Chinese boycott is not dis
PLAYED exclusively at the expense
of Mongo1ians. When the steam

spectors discovered on board of her

States for 81 years, who had with
him 81, 1920 in cash, and who
said that he HAD voted for Garfield
twenty-five years ago. He had
qone to Germany recently on a
visit, and upon his return was SEN
