Examinations Of a Rebel.
BY TOM cIIrroRD

serNdtism OF tne Ameffcah worker, |
which appeared in late issue of the |
Cleveland Press, and whieh. Of course
The editor commended:
/ am not Red, but / am wee
bit radical The man in oyeralls is
my blood brother and his cause is
my cause, yet love him too well 10
cheer him when he is wrong
Note that this workingman is ex.
pressing himself in terms of right
and wrong, which is the dominant
weakness Of the American working
mule. He doesn' u know that the ruling
class has always defined what is
right in terms of their economic in
terests and he has just naturally i'm
bibed the thought that anything ininl.
ical to his masters welfare must
necessarily be wrong. His beclouded
brain never entertains a suspicion Of
the wrongs he suffers through explol.
tation. Not understanding his position
industrially, not realizing his wage
slavery, he is stranger to the fact
that a slave cannot possibly be wrong
in any effort he may make to-, eman-
cipate himself. However, his admis-
sion that he is "wee bit radical 7
indicates that few scales have fallen
from bis eyes, which is hopeful for
subsequent thorough Enlightenment. His
economic vision will then be clearer
end he will no longer be deceived by
the precepts of the bourgeoisie. He
will then see the class struggle in all
its intensity and become an active
participant in the worldwide move
mont for lahor's emancipation. Tbm
ne will have learned that conceptions
of right have their root in economic
conditions.

 All have been interested in equal suffrage. But never lose sight of the fact th2t t is their influence which counts 4. politics.
 Prominence in equal suffrage work does not always mean that the prom inent person has influence. There have been brass band suffragists; those who had thcir own press agents and who took up suffrage as 6 good way of crashing into the newspapers with ones picture on the Society page being mentioned as "one of the prominent society women," etc. in 20 years of reporting politics for a daily paper a person meets a whole lot of these prominent" people. They are prominent just so long as they pay good press agents to keep them prominent. When they are not prominent, the press agent loses his job. Oh, you betcha, we know. But there are some of the prominent ones who could not swing a vote. They are prominent, surely, but utterly without influence. You will no. tiud this kind on any of the town commit tees of either party.
 But to return to Canaan, Mrs. Sara E. Lyles, Mrs. Nora Mccarthy, Mrs. Minnie c. Cunning and Miss | Catherine H. Roraback are the other women members of the town con- mittee. They will pardon us, of ii course, for saying so much about Miss Considine and so little concern ling them, but they will understand that Miss Considine is of our tele- phone family and our interest cen- i ters in her.
 However, there is just ono more point in this story which may inter 'estour men and women. It concerns Miss Roraback, and the writer, hav- ing been a political news reporter for several years, simply cannot re- sist the temptation to write it. To omit it would be mighty poor re- fporting.
 Miss Roraback is a daughter of Judge Alberto Roraback of Canaan, and Judge Roraback is a brother of J. Henry Roraback, also of Canaan and Chairman of the Republican State Central committee, which place he has held for several years In that position he is the lkable leader of the Republican party in this state.
 Wherefore, we again say that the women on Canaan's Republican town committee have infiuence.-Tele. phone Bulletin.

MISS ELLA CoNSIDINE
 A POLITICAL LEADER
Continued from last week.

ASFilIlidNu 1IOitA Ac1oI "OShp
 The women thus appointed, in nearly all instances, have influence, or are thought to have influence, with their sister voters. Of course, that is just playing the game as, it has always been played. Pray tell us what earthly good, or politically good, a town committeeman would be if he or she had no influence. We could answer the question ourselves, but won't. So when the Republican town chairman of Canaan sought women to take places on his com mittee he looked around for women who had influence, or standing in the community and who, we ask you, loomed infuentially larger among the women of Canaan than our own Miss Considine.
 We can answer that question and will. No one.
 Miss Considine was approached. You see in politics an approach" always precedes every action of this kind and of several other kinds. There are different Approaches. l" Some are just to find out how a per son stands on a certain question or questions. Other approaches" are made to find out how much the approached party will fall for in the l way of a touch. Politics is a diver sifed pastime.
 Having been approached and found right and also agreeable, Miss Considine was appointed a member of the Republican town committee. I Not because she had been at all prominent in the cause of equal suffrage. No, sir, but because she is the sensible, earnest and sincere woman she is with a good mind of her own and because, no doubt, oth- CT women respect her for what she has done and is doing. Tn other words, because she has influence among voters of her sex.
 Miss Considine was not the only woman to be made a member of the Republican town committee of Ca- naan, but she was chosen Chairman of the women's section of the com mittee. However, as in other towns 1t IS assumed that the Canaan women will meet with the men at all gather ings of the town committee and will soon be introduced to the inner workings of the Canaan Republican organization. And it is a smoothly working organization they have in Canaan, although the rival political parties do not call it that. They refer to it always as the Republican machine, but it is all the same in politics.
 Four other women were appointed to the town committee of Canaan. 1 They, too, are women of influence, otherwise they would not have been

The two counties which exceeded this were Worcester, Mass, and Windsor, Vt. Only seven coun- ties of New England showed total of 1000 or more.

FLUID MILK DEALERS ."l MAY CLOSE PLANTS Rural-New Yorker, Refuses -. Adv. of Nestle's
 Food CO.

The directors and county presi- dents of the Dairymen's League, meeting in New York City on Octo- Der twentieth and twenty-first, voted to recommend to the members that League milk for November be sold at the same price and under the same conditions as prevailed in October; that is, $3.65 per hundred pounds for three per cent milk at the 2OO-210 milk zone from New York. This recommendation was not made until after the directors had discussed every feature of the whole milk and market situation and it's bearing upon prices.
 The $3.65 price is under the cost of production as figured by the War ren Formula, and it is contrary to the custom that the price to the producer should advance from month to month during the fall period because of increasing costs. But, in view of market conditions and of the lower prices which are prevailing in all commodities, the directors thought best to accept the $3.65 price.
 At an earlier conference which the League had with the New York Milk Dealers Conference Board, the League was given the impression that the $3.65 price for November would be acceptable to the milk dis tributors although this sentiment was not expressed in so many words by the dealers.
 However, shortly after the dealers heard of the recommendation of the directors on the November price, they asked for a conference with the League while the Board of Dii rectors was still in session, and at this conference the dealers informed the League that if the $3.65 price prevailed, it would be necessary for the fluid dealers to close many of their plants, and the Borden's Farm Products Company handed the Lea gue a list of thirty-two fluid plants which would be closed on November first. It was understood that the other distributors would send in lists of plants to close later. However the Sheffield Company one of the two largest distributors have since accepted the November price anC agreed to keep all their plants open
 Realizing that this was simply an other step in the dealers campaign to try to force the organized mill producers into a hole during thi: unsettled period, the Board of Di rectors immediately reafirmed theil recommendation that the price b. $3.65, and voted again to recommend to the members that unless the deal CTS kept all of their plants open an' bought milk in the sa1he way as il October, no League milk be sold This decision was unanimous on th' part of the Board of Directors.
 AS the situation stands now, there fore, it appears that the dealers ar determined to force the dairymel into a general fight.
