Members of the Paris Commercial
Club directorate and committee
from the Paris City Council held a
joint session in the offices Of the
Bourbon-Agricultural Bank & Trust
Co. Superintendent Newton Mitchell
and Attorney E. M. Dickson, repre-
senting the Paris Water Company,
submitted for their consideration a
report regarding the proposed 35 per
cent. increase in water rates, which
was to have become effective JAM
uary 1, but which was postponed at
the request of the City Council, pend
ing an investigation.
The purpose of the meeting was to
give the Water Company's represent
atives an opportunity to present data
regarding the operating expenses of
the plant for the period since 1919.
The Water Company had proposed
that the new rates become effective
on April 1, and that the rate for the
next quarter be fixed to allow for the
increase which was to have gone into
effect on January 1.
The report was accepted and a
further investigation will follow be-
fore definite answer can be given
the Water Company.

From Moscow" the daily organ Of
the Third Congress Of the Com
munist International.

Never has the outlook for the|
working class in the United States
been more deplorable than at theI
present time. There are more men and
women out of work now than during
the ravages of the periodic panics-|
industrial and financial-that have
striken that country. The difference
Between the present conditions and
that of the panic times is that now
the capitalist class is deliberately and
consciously responsible for the ter
rible miseries suffered by the work.
ers. While panics and industrial de-
pressions have at times been brought
about by the manipulations Of few,
which may be termed, top-capitalists,
or, as in 1917, when the panic was a
direct result of a struggle between
big interests.
The present crisis is the develop
ment of gigantic conspiracy, which
amounts, in fact, to an open war
against the workers, the purpose Of
which is to reduce wages to pre-
war basis. The first move was to close
down the mills, factories, parts of the
railroad industry, mines and lumber
industry. Some of these have been
almost totally closed down since last
July.
The employers have announced that
when work is resumed, wages will be
reduced 2296 in the textile industry;
379t in the needle trades, which
means the manufacture of all kinds
of clothing, $3.50 reduction in the
lumber industry. The railroad COM
panies have publicly announced that
their savings, which will accure
through wage-reduction alone, will
amount to 5OO,OO0,00O dollars year

Report of N. E. C.

Branstetter reported for the N. E.
c. He deplored the very depraved con-
dition of both Party finance and
members. There are not even suf-
ficient funds to tour speakers. Three
organizers are being served notice.
Hardly any progress is being made,
"even in the industrial centres" After
rendering the bad news, he entered
upon an appeal that reminded one
very much OF failing business man
advising his help. What we need is a
little more religion in our work. We
have got to make sacrifices. We must
do more work with less cost. In end
ing, the reporter reminded the COM
rades of what struggles 1--WE" went
through and what sacrifices were
made fifteen years ago. All in all, the
report must have indeed been tasty

the radical world have been watching

tions. The Party has declared itself;
it is the Socialist Party Of America,
nothing more, nothing less. This ques-
ton forced out in lurid tints the
real color of the s. P. It showed once
and for all that the S. P. is destined
to be the historic counterpart Of the
German Majority Party, the Party Of
Scheideman and Noske. The decision
reached on international relations
was the undoing of the Left Wing.
In fact, there was no left wing. 1t
was mere feeble, nerveless effort
giving way under the blind and ir-
resistable stampede of reaction. The
Third International was right when
it said in its appeal to the American
workers. "Leave the Socialist Party.
1t are our enemy and yours" And the
workers seem not to have let the ad-
vice 60 unheeded.
"The Left Wing"
The left wing started out pretty
well. Judging from the noise they
made before, it was expected they
would be able to put up-a good figh,
at the convention. But how many
delegates could really be recognized
as left wingers ? Two, Kruse and Eng
dahl! And they were, instructed BY
their constituents to vote for non
affiliation with the Third Interna
tional, the Fright" position.
So it was finally discovered that tn
Left wing was largely a hot air or
ganization. The old crowd didn'
seem to be the least put out by tn

can the nations standard of civiliza-

With this statement no one can quar-
rel but as the Rev. proceeded it was
very apparent that he could only see
a state of society where capital and
labor existed.

conviction that labor has "the right
