Equal But a Mile Apart.
By CARL ]. FUTHOL.

Like all patriotic American babies,
Hilda and Jenny were born equal. But
their birth places were mile apart.
At Hilda's end of the mile were
large, comfortable homes; at Jenny's
end were shacks that failed to fall
anart only because they were wedgsd
in between barns
Midway between the shacks and the
fine homes was the main business
street of the town.
Hilda came from that end of the
street with cribs with yielding springs,
downy mattresses and fluffy woolen'
blankets; Jenny got a crib with a
hard bottom, a hard mattress and a
coarse cotton blanket.
Hilda had a maid to take care of
her; Jenny had no one but her mother,
and she had to wash for livelihood,
father being out of job.
The summer was fearfully hot. Hill
da was taken by her mother and
maid to the country; Jenny sweltered
in her crib. The steam from the wash
tub made the air still more chokey.
Hilda was nice and cool in the
country; for Jenny there wasn't
cool spot-until she was buried.

How Soon?
By NELLIE MAS.

ITO. Denis Pottintier is dying, leav-
ing wife and boy of ten, Eugene.
The mother is sick, the boy cannot
work the land. Count Arvance throws
them out of the hut and gives the
land to another. Mother and son are
starving; but who cares? France is
feudal.
1889. "To the Bastille!" Cries,
shouts, fighting. They are storming
the Bastille. Groans. Many are wound
ed, many are dying-cheers, riotous
cheers. The Bastille is taken!
A woman, young girl and little
boy are looking for Eugene Pottintier.
They can't find him. He is among the
dead.
He is dead. =. but feudalism, too,
is dead.
1920 Louis Pottintier is dying. The
factory Inspector had ordered screen
for the big wheel Of the machine he
had worked at; the order had not been
carried out. Safety screens cost money,
so Louis Pottintier is dying.
He leaves a widow and boy Of
eighteen, Roger. Unemployment. They
starve; but who cares? France is
capitalist.

Cries, shouts. Airplanes. Showers Of

He is dead. but capitalism, too,

The Question.
By Nea Richards.

They had just moved into rooms
over warehouse, and little Evelyn
could not resist the smell of peaches
that was coming up through the
cracks in the floor. She kept on say
ing to her mother, II want some
peaches"
Her mother explained to her they
couldn't have any fruit, because
father has been out of work for
months and they were dead broke,
buying all the necessary food on
credit and getting day after day less
and less of it.
Little Evelyn couldn't understand
it. "There are bushels and bushels of
peaches down stairs, and l want only
a couple Of them"
But, my dear, they don't belong to
u.s."
ITO whom do they belong?"
ITO the man who owns them"
How can one man eat up so many
peaches-bushels and bushels of them.
HE won't eat them all. They are
for sale. People who have money buy
them"
Hasn't anybody in the city any
money!"
"What foolish question, Evelyn.
Some people have money, just as we
had money when father had job"
eff some people do have money,
why doesn't anybody buy those
peaches. We have lived here two
weeks, and the peaches are still
there"
Unable to explain it, her mother
told her to run along and play.
A week later Evelyn came up with
whole basketful of peaches. Her
mother was puzzled. "Why, Evelyn,
where did you get all these peaches 2"
"On the sidewalk, mother, in the
gutter"
"Then they must be rotten"
Some of them aren't all rotten. I'll
pick out the best and cut away the
rotten parts with a knife"
She spilled the peaches out on the
floor and began sorting and cutting.
Then she grew thoughtful and turned
to her mother with this question:
"Why couldn't ! get before now
even one peach when bushels and
1 bushels Of them We're gong 70 fot?'

THE COMMUNIST LABOR
PARTY OF GERMANY
AND THE COMMUNIST
INTERNATIONAL.

Berlin, July 21.-The Communist
Labor Party held membership meet
ing to discuss the "Ultimatum of the
Bird Congress of the Communist In
ternational". The speaker called upon
the members to vote down the propo-
sition Of the Comintern that the C.
L. P. join the United Communist
Party within two months. He attack
ed the leaders of the Third Interna-
tional as opportunists and as the
worst enemies of the Bolsheviki. Rus
sia was run not by the Soviets, but
by the dictatorship for a party! He
also declared: "We shall fight the
Third International from the outside"
A comrade tried to counteract this
vile attack upon the Communist In
ternational and the heroic proletariat,
but was interrupted by Kisses and
cries. He said the words of the speak
er vividly recalled the anti-bolshevist
propaganda of the Majority and In
dependent socialists. In the face Of
hostile shouts and cries he asserted,
eve must build mass parties in every
county to lead the proletariat to
victory. The existence Of small COM
munist sects constitutes a distinct
danger to the victory of the working
iIiRss dis: Thsze is 1ylH ylis aSe road to free
dom, the road Of the Third Interna
tional."
In Groeplingen near Bremen mas
meeting called by the c. L. P, afte
a discussion in which speakers of tn
United Communist Party participated
adopted resolution condemning tn
C. L. P. for impeding the unificatiol
Of the revolutionary workers and cal
ling upon the members of that part,
to obey the instructions of the Com
intern and unite with the U. c. P.

Minister OF Health i'm london
Declares Cost OF Production
Mast Be Lowered

LONDON, Sept. 81 (By The Associat-
ed Press Sir Alfred Mond, Minister
of Health, addressing newspaper men
to-day regarding unemployment, said
that, serious as was the situation in
Great Britain, it was even worse in the
United States. Present conditions, he
declared, were due TO causes the gov
ernments could not control. and the
British could only try to stabilize for
eign exchange rates in order to i'm
prove trade between this and other
countries.
Zone thing which must come about"
Sir Alfred asserted, "is reduction in
the cost of production, because the
present high prices are checking pur-
chasing
He said indications were, however,
that purchasing was improving. He
continued
Unemployment insurance h.s been
a big weapon in dealing with the situa-
ton, and it is hoped to extend it's
scope by the government advancing
f2o,0o0,000 to the insurance fund. Sug-
Gestlons that the government itself
should manufacture goods and hand
them over to disposal board for sale
would prove disastrous"
Sir Alfred concluded by saying that.
while the position was serious, he was
by no means respondent.
