THE SOCIALIST WAY

We hope to be kept posted to of the Mil
waukee socialist administration plan of dealing with the
social evil 1t is proposed to pacard the broheIs with
names OF the owners of the property
1t is fact that almost without exception, these places
conducted rented premises and, in the ma
iory of cases. the rental is exorbtant because of the
purposes for which the premises to be used Il
1t IS well known that many persons of repute in the
business world nigh standing in church and conspicuous
in society, derive large income landlords from the
brothes
The Milwaukee socialists simply propose to let every
body know who is spashing around ainted money!
1t may ay not prove to be wise in respect to
the social evil far property ownership is concerned
1t smacks little Of justice
But the Milwaukee brohes not supported by the
keepers by the of the premises and if that
Socialist administration impartay carries out it's plan
to the logical conclusion the walls of Milwaukee will be
mighty we'll papered.
