originally has found the solution for the high
cost of sugar He says to quit eating sugar
and acquire the sorghum habit, that sorghum
beats sugar all hollow as sweetener, and
so forth and so on. But he fails to tell what
we will gain through the elimination of
"short-sweetenng' at high price, when we
take up "long sweetening" at an also high
price.

Characteristics Of The Old Unions

What were the characteristics of the old
labor union movement which brought it to actual
capitulation before the bourgeoisie? The narrown-
ess of craft unionism! The organized separatism!
The making fetish of bourgeois legality Depend
ing upon the aristocracy of labor - viewing with
contempt the mass of sem-skilled common labor!
High membership dues, inaccessible to the average
worker! Concentration of all management of the
unions into the hands of the bureaucratic official
dom, degenerating more and more into caste of
functonalies of the labor union movement! The
propagation Of neutral attitude towards the
problems Of proletarian political struggle -equiva-
ent in deed to the political support of the bourge
oisie! The perversion of the system of collective
bargaining, which in actual consequence led to
the point where collective agreements were con-
cluded by the labor union bureaucracy, enslaving
the workers of given trade for number of
years to the capitalist! The boasting of those in
significant improvements (for example, the only
nominal increase in wages) which the unions
succeeded in obtaining from employers in peace

(The following appeal from the Third Inter-
national to the labor movement of the world is
now being featured in the European labor press 1t
is reprinted here for the information Of the lead
ers of the Teller. - Editors note)
The labor unions numbered over ten million
members on the eve of the fourth of August, 1914,
when first the imperialistic slaughter began.
Nevertheless, the labor unions almost everywhere
failed to offer any serious opposition to the i'm
perialistic butchery. On the contrary, in an over
whelming majority of cases. the leaders of the old
labor union movement had placed themselves and
their organizations entirely at the disposal of cap
italist governments. The whole apparatus of the
old labor unions was given over to the service
of the imperialistic general staff All the laws
dealing with the protection of labor were revoked
by the bourgeoisie with the full essent of the
labor union leaders. Compulsory work equivalent
to penal servitude for labor, extending even to
sixty year old women, was introduced by the
bourgeoisie with the approval of these very same
leaders of the unions. Moreover, the adnlinistra-
ton of the old labor unions had delivered their
organizations into moral slavery to the bourge-
oisie Papers and magazines published by the old
labor unions were sending their blessings to the
workers who went to death for the sake and in
the interest of capital These papers repeated
capitalstic lies about the defence of the father
land and made themselves everywhere the pro-
pagators of bourgeois ideas among the mass off
organized workers.

Appeal To The Labor Unions
By The Communist International

But, presently, the war is over! An imperial
stc peace, concluded at the expense Of the people,
showed even to the blind the purpose for which
this imperialstic war was waged. The armies are
demobilized the workers return to their organiza-
tions.
What will happen to the labor unions? What
course will they now follow?
The old leaders Of the labor unions again are
attempting to force these unions upon the bourg-
eois path. From the ranks of the Headers" of
the old movement came forth the most loathsome
executioners of the working class, such as Noske
in Germany and Paidel in Hungary Tomorrow
Messrs Jouhaux in France and Gompers in Amer
lea, if circumstances are favorable, will become the
very same Noskes - the same hangmen Of the
working class as we have seen them in more than
one country. ~

VICTORY MEMORIAL
By Dr. James I. Vance

On the Ma between the Capitol and the White House. site granted by Congress- the people of America are to erect the National Victory Building to commemorate the services and sacrifices of the Americans who helped to win the World War.
 The plans for this noble building have been selected by the National Fine Arts Society from large number sub mitted by the foremost American architects.
 The Memorial will contain of the largest audito riums n the world, having seating capacity of 7500, besides number of smaller halls Every state and ter ritory will have it's chamber, and the leading pa trotc organizations will be provided with headquarters in the building.
 The building is not only to be erected but endowed sol that it's adequate maintenance shall be guaranteed for time to come the funds being raised by state appropr ationS subscriptions from organizations having honor roll and individual gifts.
 The Victory Memorial Building should make an ire sstibe appeal to the people of America Surely not do too much to honor the memory and herald the hero ism of the American soldiers in the World War. The story of what they did chapter of undyng fame and will enrich the annals of this nation long as the flag flies.
 They entered the conflict at its supreme crisis and they entered with such daring they fought with such skill and courage they died with such abandon that from the day the Stars and Stripes appeared aong the coors of the allies the doom of TeutOn aggression was sealed l not unmindful of the magnificent valor the French had shown of the way during those long, hard years the British bore the brun of battle America has only cheers for it's brave allies 1t is honor enough that the soldiers sent fought well as to prove themselves not unworthy place in that glorious line
 But is ours to keep alive the story of American It is our high privilege hand down to generations that come the story of the glory of the of this generation who served and sacrificed who fought and died to keep freedom alive in the earth.
 This is what the Victory Memorial the Mall at Washington will do Even if could, it will not let us forget And the sight of it will fire the heart with the flame of true Americanism.

 Surely he must be old-fasho1ed for it age ago since he and we guilty of such fatuous child ishness as celebration of what conceived to be the greatest event of hstorythe winning of the great
 Not that we were particularly blameworthy. Rather, that is the pity of it. Why is constituted that he has no adequate vent for his hugest emotions? Or why is he not so cultivated that he cold find such vent?
 Doubtless at such time we all felt the impulse to shout in one ocean-toocean chorus great paean of iocng We felt the inner desire to leap and dance and give expression to joy in some beautiful figure of phy Xical rhythm We wanted to exclaim in the sonorous language of the Hebrew prophets the organ voice of Milton or the grand chant of Shakespeare's verse.
 But we were chained by the limitations of our conner cial work-aday existence which had had training in Expression And so we formed little lOckstep parades we halooed little rang bells and blew penny whistles and made all sorts of discordant and unmeaning noises and we made as much for the street-ceaners as possible
 And we were all a little ashamed of it, and little re beous that we had been taught to express our selves.

 And still with wavering mind, The poised pen waits And hesitates
 And the treaty is still unsigned. Armistice Day Two years away,
 And the war-doubt still obscures And the tangled skein Of it's strands remain
 While the Armistice still endures. Armistice Day Two years away,
 And such is our right, no doubt, That we, who have been The last to get in,
 Are the last in getting out.
