Green TOMATOES Make
JELLY Of fine FLAVOR.

BY adding lemon or orange, or
both, q: jelly can be made from green
tomatoes which is Of an attractive
color and Of pleasant, though unusual
flavor. The pectin substances and

confer jelly-making properties upon
the tomato juice, are found in both

squeezing does not greatly affect even
the appearance Of the jelly. There

the water may have boiled down.
Boil the Juice for ten minutes to re-

PROTECTING PROPERTY.

Much has been said in recent months
about protecting property against those
styled wicked radicals, a class including
everybody who doesn't like profiteer-
ing or who thinks the laws now exist.
ing might be altered for the better.
Curiously enough this property defense
argument is used by great interests
engaged in grabbing up other people s
property without adequate return. And
even more curious, there are both farm
ers and workers who have hardly cent
to their names worrying about this al
legged danger to property. Their fear
is a tribute to the power of misin-
formation possessed by the kept press.
Where in heavens name 10 the peo-
pie whom the press has thus deluded
think the war profiteers got their
plunder' Do they think it came from
some other planet or from the Ger
mans9 Why can they not see that the
only place it could come from is from
the pockets Of other people who neces-
sarily had to get less of the nation 3
income while they were getting so much
morea
During the war our government-not
some mystic force Of nature or, as we
say, economic law-allowed powerful
interests in strong business position to
get the jump on the rest of US. We
were complaining about the way they
we're taking our property before the
war, but during the war period and
since a very mad house Of greed has
been let loose. BY charging their. ex-
orbitant prices, these profiteers took
more of our property-money, labor,
livestock and farm produce than be-
fore. The world has rarely seen a
moro sudden transfer Of wealth with
out equivalent return that that which
has taken place here in the last four
years.
A monopoly is necessarily an unjust
seizure Of property, recognized as such
both in law and in ordinary clear think
ing. An interest which has cornered a
supply of something is fundamentally
no different from the holdup man so
far as property rights are concerned,
and would be treated as such has not
corrupt politicians nullified our laws
by failure to enforce.
Yet the flunkies of these great en-
emies Of general property rights 60 up
and down the land squawking about
defending property against the "radi-
cals.' What they fear is that they
will gather enough political strength to
enforce the laws defending property on
the books and perhaps put some new
ones there containing real cures for
wholesale robberies.

PUT IN FALSE LIGHT.

A handful of busy gossipers are go.
ing about town grossly misrepresent-
ing and vilifying the Federated Trades
assembly and the local labor unions,
declaring that the labor movement Of
this city is in the hands of irrcsponsi-
bic radicals, Bolshevists and "red'
socialists, who are conducting it with
reckless boldness.
It would seem needless to make de-
NAL of. such situation. The FEEDER
ated Trades assembly is differed. by a
thoughtful, honest, high-minded and
careful group Of men, all but one Amer
lean citizens. The majority Of the
delegates who make up the assembly
are numbered among the conservative
elements of organized labor. It is true
there are few delegates Of extreme
views but they are far outnumbered
by the liberals and conservatives.
AS matter of fact there is not very
much difference between a meeting of
the Federated Trades assembly and that
of any other society in the city such
as the Duluth Commercial club, the
Builders exchange and similar organi-
cations. The same types Of mind will
be found in all human assemblages.
They are the kind that make up and
compose the world.
The labor movement Of Duluth has
no apology to make for its position on
labor and public questions. 1t is ad-
mitted that a few mistakes have been
made, but they were only human, and
probably would have been made by
other organizations Of men under SINH
lar circumstances.
AS whole, however, organized Ia
Dor has conducted itself in a becom-
ing manner. It has met the postwar
problems sanely and wisely. Its con-
duct during the war gave ample proof
OF the loyalty and patriotism of Duluth
trade unionists. 1t expected much
when the war was over. It saw influ-
ences at work attempting to rob the
workers of many good things gained
during the world conflict and it set
out vigorously to preserve them. Honest
business has nothing to fear from
union labor in Duluth or elsewhere.
Only greed and privilege need worry.

COOPERATION.

An you find that old prosperity's
Arrivin' pretty late;
Don't 1t, kinda start you thinkin'
That you should cooperate?
When your boys just right for coll

An your girl for boarding school;
An you find your short Of savin's
As is generally the rule,
An you feel that you've. been handed
Such a nasty jolt by Fate
Don't you wish that you'd learned

How you could cooperate?

For working folks to live

LIBEL ON AMERICAS WORKERS

Secretary Of Commerce Alexander
has been telling the laundry owners of
Washington and vicinity that the pan
acea for all our social ills must be
found in more work and increased
thrift. Public men of Alexander's cal
ibre are very fond of inlulging in this
kind Of piffle. One cannot pick up a
newspaper without being confronted
with headlines announcing that some
grave and reverend seignior has dis
covered that the American people are
not only afflicted with the hookworm,
but that they are squandering their
substance like the proverbia] drunken
sailor. 1t is about time to remind these
gentlemen Of a few pertinent facts.
The American worker, instead Of be-
ing sluggard, is, judged by any stand
ard you may see fit to apply, more
efficient than the worker of any other
country.
Man for man our miners mine more
tons of coal, our farmers produce more
bushels of wheat, our railroad workers
move more ton miles Of freight than
their brothers in other lands.
Not only that, but they do the work
at lower cost per unit in the very
great majority Of instances.
And they are not spendthrifts. On
the contrary, it is amazing that they
are able to stretch their meaRre in
comes SO as to provide the necessities
Of life for their wives and children and
leave few dollars to be deposited in
tho bank. Secretary Alexander should
examine the reports Of the savings
banks. Where do those institutions get
their deposits, If not from the toilersa
The trouble is not that we do not
produce enough in America, but that
tho drones Of society are permitted to
take too large part Of what is pro.
dueed and the workers receive too little

RAILROADS DIs1NTEaRATINa.

To check, as far as possible the rap

New York behind closed doors and is
said to be the most largely attended

for its object the resumption Of pro-

British Labor Unions Cast Vote
OF 10 10 One Against boIshevism

Early news from London indicated
that While the British labor party had
voted for recognition Of Soviet Rus.
sla and for resumption Of trade. tho
radicals in the organization were un-
able to swing the delekates toward
adopting the principles OF the Mos
COW (Communist) 1nternationale. The
following article explains this more
fully and indicates hte exact posi-
ton Of sovietism in England.
When the Scarborough conference
OF the labor party voted 100000 to
$4,000 and refused to swallow Rus
sian communism hook, line and
sinker, it gave demonstration of the
precise feeling Of even radical labor
toward Russia. The conference had
previously voted in favor Of resuminx
trade and Of recognizing the Russian
Soviet republic. In this the labor
delegates were siding with a definite
number OF statesmen and citizens Of
all parties. Whether this number
will dominate is still a question.
But when the critical question came
up-that Of dropping the principles
of the Geneva 1nternationale and of
adopting the ideas of Leine and the
Bolshevists of the Moscow Interna-
tionale, which is the final expression
Of communism in the world, British
labor voted more than ten to one
against it.
This is the reply which British
labor Of every shade Of opinion makes
to Lenine's notorious letter. If Lenine
had not SUNNI oned the workers of
Great Britain to rise in bloody revo-
luton, If he had not told them that
some Of their most venerated leaders
were slaves Of the capitalist class,
the vote might have been different.

GOVERNOR cox's OPPORTUNITY.

Governor Cox is an improvement on

cisco is more liberal than the document
given to the country by the Republi-

orial cabal that had dominated the Chi
cago convention in the interest Of "Big

Numerically these progressives were
strong enough to determine the result
in November, and their expectations
could have been satisfied and their sup
port enlisted by clean-cut declaration
Of principles, and the nomination of a
candidate know to favor those prin-
ciples.
Instead Of doing this, the Democratic
party adopted halfway measures, and
named candidate who, while he is free
from the sinister Influences that
brought about the nomination Of Sen.
ator Harding, is not sufficiently well
known to be accepted without question
by the liberals Of the country.
As governor Of Ohio, Mr.. Cox dis
played marked executive ability, and
during his first term he gave personal
support to a legislative program which
contained many excellent features.
So far as national questions are con.
cerned, he has not had an opportunity
to make a record. He was in congress
for four years, but was by no means
an outstanding figure. His votes and
speeches, however, indicated a progress,
sive tendency.
AS the campaign advances, Governo,
Cox will have ample opportunity to dis
cuss national issues, and if he sees fl,
he can very definitely align himself
with the progressive forces Of the ma

to what the governor says in his speech
