What the Red Flag Really Means.
A few definitions are in order.

A few definitions are in order.
One of them concerns the red flag
which has been so widely displayed in
connection with revolutionary propa-
ganda and which is acclaimed by its
followers as the symbol of liberty.
Since we aalready have in this coun-
try a flag of red, white and blue which
we have associated with that term, it
be comes appropriate to inquire what
Interpretation of "liberty' the red fol
lowers have in mind. Clearly it is
something different from our own or
they would not need another flag to
express it. In this matter, as in most
other matters, actions speak louder
than words. Red actions have spoken
mostly loudly in Russia, and it is there
that we can get our bet idea of the red
purpose toward liberty.
One Russian fact stands out proml-
nently-the red purpose towards lib
erty does not include the liberty of the
bourgeoise; and this brings us to our
second definition:
Who constitute the bOurge0ise?
In plain language they are the pro-
ductive class of the nation, Any man
of woman who has a farm, shop, a
store of factory, large or small, or
who gives employment to a single 9th
~r person, is bourgeois. America is
largely bourgeois and every working
man will become a member of the
words, there are no hard and fast
oisie if he prospers. In other
classes, but constant change and pro
erosion. For the proletariat to ad-
vocate the destruction of the bourge-
oisie is for the present to attempt the
destruction of the future.
The doctrine of class distinction and
class consciousness is anti-American
and is menacing to the fundamental
principles of our ration. 1t is perhaps
the most primary difference between
bolshevism and Americanism. 1t is
the fruit of Russian tyranny and has
no place in free America.

This demand probably is develop
ing some of the most highly paid
clerks, oilers, etc, in the history of
the industry. To show just what kind
of salaries are given college ball play
ers to go through a routine of cleri-
cal work. it may be said here that
there is one college man who is draw :
ing $500 per month to count bales or
cotton products in certain factory
in the south. And in Florida. New
England. New York and West Virginia
the same system is practiced
This seems to be outside of probes
sionalism There appears to be a
kind of definite understanding that a
man may draw any amount OF cash
he can command in the summer IN a
sinecure position. just SO his services
are available for the base ball team
representing the company for whlch
he works" and still retain his anna :
teur standing Undoubtedly there are
certain positions in which college
base ball players take advantage OF
such opportunities to get much neeo-
ed practical experience in the PROBES
sion for which they are studying. bu'
also the practice is CONSIDERABLY
abused in many instances.
One league fostered by az great IN
dustrial organization is paying larger
salaries to college ball players this
summer than are being paid to some
players in the American League ano
giving much higher salaries than the
best offered in minor circuits. Some
college men in this league draw IRON
$3.50 to s400 per month. Just what
some of the collegiate performers &c
to earn that much cash, except play
ball, would be difficult to show.
OF course. this brings up again the
time summer base ball question
to which there are more angles than
were dreamed of when the story OF
the labyrinth was written. Here Is
the situation: Some colleges have the
summer base ball rifle. under which
they do not permit their athletes to
receive money for playing ball. I'm
der the system as it is worked
though, athletes from these colleges
go out and draw more money for
playing ball for an industrial concern
than they could have dreamed OF
earning in semi professional or pro
fessional ranks and still retain thelr
eligibility.

BUSH does not apply to that, then II
