ed social system must be saturated with this poi
sion. The school, church and of course the capital
ist press, which includes most of the labor union
papers and journals, are all made the vehicles and
instruments of the plan Of controlling the public
mind - which, in reality is the working-class
mind
The school especially is made the victim OF
this vicious propaganda. Capitalism knows that
unless it can get an early grasp of the mind OF
the coming generation it's goose is cooked. The
public school is turned into factory for turning
out product sufficiently bourgeois taught and
trained as to never turn against it's poisioner.
That is the intention
One instance has just come to light which
illumines the process That it did not work in this
special instance only emphasizes the universally
of the scheme.
The Better American Federation" Of Cal
ifolnia, the Open Shop propaganda machine of the
capitalists of that state attempted to propaganda
the public school teachers of the state by giving
each volume of Vanishing Landmarks, book
written by Leslie M. Shaw in the interest of the
open shop war which is now being waged against
union labor For this purpose $4,000 was collected
with which to purchase the books. The game was
too raw for the State Superintendent of Schools
and he prohibited the distribution.
But now with the contents of the pay envelop-
es growing smaller, to say nothing of there being
fewer envelopes, our dear friends, the expoiters
will have to invent new ways to "educate" us.

PRAGUE.-At a meeting just held here be-
tween representatives of the Czech Social De-
mocratic League of Railroad Men it was decid-
ed to organize a general federation of the rail
road men Of Czecho-Slovakia. This body is to
unite all the railroad workers Of the republic,
defend their interests and look after relations
with railroad mems unions in other countries.
The new federation will embrace more than
100000 railroaders. Neutrality in the fight be-
tween the Left and Right Wings in the Social
ist PARTIES was decided upon.

ARE TO CONFlNE BUSINESS
Separation From All Business Not
Directly Related to Meat Pack
ing Industry.

WaShington.-Sepa of the
packers from all business not directly
related to tne packing of meat was
made mandatory through signature by
Chief Justice Mccoy, in the District
of Columbia Supreme Court, of de-
cree filed by Attorney General A.
Mitchell Palmer, with the concurrence
Of the packers. The decree, which
must be carried out within two years,
affects eightyseven corporations and
forty nine individuals, of which Swift
& Co, Armour & Co., Morris & Co.,
Wilson & Co. and the Cudahy Com
pany are the major members. AttOr-
ney General Palmer, in filing the de-
cree, explained to the Court the terms
under which the agreement between
the Covenant and the packers was
reached. When he concluded joint
made made by counsel, and Justice
Mccoy signed the decree, saying that
as the parties were in agreement there
was no question for him to determine.
In his statement to the court Mr..
Palmer said the decree was sweep
ing in it's scope" adding that he was
sure it would be "highly beneficial to
the public in its effect. The Decree"
he said, lis designed to restore free
dom of competition and increase the
opportunities for individual initiative
in business, which in time must bear
good fruit for the public welfare. In
brief, the decree removes the menace
of control of unrelated industries by
tivities in future to the business of dis
tributing meat and its by-products I'M
der an injunction which restraints them
from unfair and unlawful practice"
NJ. w. Borders, general counsel for
Morris & Co., in making the joint
statement for the defendants, said it
was not guilt which prompted the
packers to enter into the decree, for
they have not violated law" In
stead, the packers, he said, desired to
assure the American public that mo-
nopoly of the food supply by the pack
ers was not possible; to stop criticism
of the industry, damaging alike to It
and to the public; to promote better
understanding between the industry
and the public during "the dangerous
period of reconstruction" and to sta
bilize conditions in order that the eff.
cheney and benefits of the industry
might be preserved.

Washington.-Ame rail trans
portation systems, operated as one
great public utility since December %,
1917, again have been divided among
their 230 respective corporate owners,
the Government having released con-
troll March /. Director General Wal
ker d. Hines, as the agent of the Pres
ident, handed over the properties and
equipment, valued at approximately
$2O,0OO,000,OO0, to their old direction,
free, except for the jurisdiction re-
tanned by the Government in the new
railroad reorganization bill.
OF the gigantic organization formed
by former Director General William
G. McAdoo as a wartime eXpedient,
only a small part now remains. Re-
gional officials, Federal managers and
Treasurers and other high officials
comprising the Director Generals staff
ceased to function as such at the des-
ignated hour.
Certain of these have gone back to
their former places as officials of the
corporations, while others have en-
tered into new lines of endeayOr.
Mr.. Hines will continue in his
present capacity until about May l.
Although without any railroads to
direct, he still faces the settlement
of literally thousands of claims, con-
tracts and grievances. Only 147 of the
230 compensation contracts with the
corporations actually were signed dur
ing Government control, and the re-
mainder will continue to be the sub
ject of negotiations. Damage claims
have arisen, of which many still are
pending. Labor has thousands Of cases

TURKS MURDER
ARMENIANS
KILLED AND TOR
TURED AFTER FIERCE FIGHT
ING WITH FRENCH TROOPS.
Americans in the American College in
Marash Fired Upon When They At
tempt to Mediate Between the
Turks and French.

Washington.--The most brutal of
all Turkish atrocities-the massacre of
10000 Armenians and the murder of
SIS Armenian girls, who were under the
direct protection of an American Mis-
sion House in Marash, Cilicia, Turkey,
was reported to the State Department.
The massacre took place after fierce
fighting between French and Turkish
forces. The French were compelled
to withdraw, and the Turks descended
on the unprotected city and began
their butchery.
Americans in the American college
in Marash were fired upon when they
offered to mediate between the Turks
and the French. They were told 1t
was national and not local affair.
1t is believed here that all Americans
are out of danger and they are un-
derstood to have left Marash with the
French forces.
All the American Government can
do under the circumstances is to for
ward protest to the Ottoman Govern
ment through Admiral Mark Bristol,
who Is the American High Commits
sioner to Turkey, and is stationed In
Constantinople, 1t Is said here.
The only assistance in sight for the
Americans In the new war zone Is the
presence of few torpedo boat de-
stroyers IN the Eastern Mediterranean
under the command of Admiral Bris-
tol. The dispatch to the State De-
partment indicates that there Is open
war at present between the French
and Turkey. 1t has been reported that
both Great Britain and France will
send large forces to Asia Minor i'm
mediately. If this is not done, it is
said the French retreat now in prog
ress may be turned into a route at any
moment.
The State Departments announce
ment which, it is declared was re-
ceived from a reliable source Is a
graphic account Of the atrocities.
