I'VE often hear that socialists are
for the working class, and that they
believe in union labor. DO they in
truth? Several years ago, a Socialist
was elected TO Congress, and laboring
mon claim. who are posted, that not
once did this socialist appear before
the labor committee in behalf Of ony
labor bill-neither did he once raise
his voice i'm the halls of Congress in
behalf Of any bill advocated by the
working class.
There are socialists that devote
themselves to a purely educational
propaganda-but most of our copper
country socialists are those who have
brought from Europe revolutionary
ideas and practices. They must not
be permitted to bring about a condi-
ton of unrest. disorder and unhappi-
ness.
we cannot allow anyone here who
does not believe i'm flag or country.
Less than two months ago, a soap
box orator i'm New York said: The
American flag is not fit to defend and
thereupon the flag for which seven
teen clear-eyed. clean-limbed boys in
blue yielded up their lives within the
week was vicously attacked. II was
only stopped when some former L. :.
sailors climbed upon the platform and
broke up the meeting.
About two years ago, "A Socialist

foot upon the American flag said:

Fourteen Special Appeals for

rotary Walter S. Ufford. OF the Asso-

At the close of business yesterday
more than 1900 Of the s4.52f asked had

that the Sunday and Monday morning

able to help themselves We are high
ly gratified with the results.
People should not get the idea that
the care of these families constitutes
our entire Christmas program. Indeed,
these are just samples OF the work we
are doing al 1.-The time. We could point
out ten times as many opportunities,
barely less deserving. They are pres
ent all the time for those who want TO
take advantage of them.
Il do not believe that home charities
suffered this year in consequence OF
the heavy contributions made for the
war victims abroad. On the other

ity was awakened to an unusual extent

THRONG OF SKATERS
ENJOY ICE ON BASIN
Surface Crowded All Day and
Promises to Be in Good Con-
dition Tomorrow.

Thousands of Washington's skating
enthusiasts gathered on the Tidal Basin
southwest of the Monument today for
the first real days skating in several
years.
The industrious efforts of a number of
volunteers yesterday afternoon and last
night put the ice in fine condition. even
thought it is little rough. and skaters
from the four quarters of the District
had royal holiday.
4 brilliant sun lent a sparkle to the
day and to the scene, as men and
women and boys and girls glided over
the glistening surface. Many enterpris-
ing youngsters of commercial mind
turned the skating enthusiasm to profit
by renting skates.
The skating season promises to be a
short one. however. Forecaster Bowie
at the Weather Bureau. predicts a. con-
tinuously rising temperature through
the day and evening. with much warm
er and cloudy weather tomorrow.
The cold weather of the last two days
has covered the basin. the river and all
OF the ponds OF the District with heavy
ice. There Is no skating on the river
around Aquedcut bridge, because of
the snow. which has frozen hard and
very uneven. At this point the ice IN
the river is from five to six inches
thick. nearly as heavy as that on the
ba sin.
Tugs Clear River Channel
The police boat Vigilant, and a num-
Der of other tugs have been engaged all
day in clearing the ice that formed over
night in the Washington and George
town channels. to keep shipping open.
All OF the river steamers are running
on schedule with the exception of the
Frederick Dietary. a sidewheeler. Just
hoy long skating will continue on the
basin in the face of rising temperature
is problematical. 1t probably will be
good tomorrow. however.
Or. William Il. Hudson, r. G. Meyer.
c. +. Beckett, and other leaders of the
ice cleaning volunteers that prepared
the basin for today's sport have been
fully repaid. for they were all on hand
at some time during the day TO enjoy
the scene and the skating.
With the assistance rendered by
Colonel Harris, supermrendent of public
buildings and grounds. and District Of
ficials, who loaned the necessary equip
ment for snow removal, a wide area
was cleared yesterday afternoon and
last night, but this space was crowded

Police Prevents Accidents.
Special details of police and park men
were on hand to prevent overcrowding
and to keep the venturesome away from
danger places and no accidents have
been reported. though the skating space
has been heavily crowded all during
the morning and early afternoon.
BED lights strung by Colonel Marts to
warn of danger places at night, Will be
used again tonight as long as there are
skaters on the basin.
