struction. The road Mr.. Atwood esti-

FAMINE STRICKEN RUSSIA
MENACED BY ALLIED PLOTTERS

Riga.--WhiIe Russia is appealing
for and accepting American and other
foreign aid for her starving people,
the executive committee of the Third
International to-day sent out from
Moscow. by radio, an appeal to the
world proletariat, in which it was
charged that the governments of En-
gland and America desire the Russian
working classes to permit them to ex-
change piece Of bread for the oppor-
tunity of organizing counter revolu-
tons on Russian soil.
The appeal charges that France all
ready is organizing a plot, together
with Rumania and Poland, to attack
the soviets at the opportune moment.
The appeal asks the proletariat to frus-
trate these plots at their roots and not
permit the governments to make the
conditions for granting aid.
Greed for gain, for riches, at the ex-
pense of fellow human being, is the
source of all human ills.

GENERALIZATION
in GERMANY

The Central Union of Germany,
through the medium Of its auditing UNI
ions, is endeavoring to promote the
Capitalization of the distributive move
ment by effecting the amalgamation of
numerous small societies, which, al
though capable of maintaining their
operations, nevertheless acquire con-
siderable advantage for their members
if they become amalgamated with a
large society in the neighborhood car
rying on production on its own ac-
count.

COOPERATION GAINS
In CALIFORNIA

The organized workers of two
Southern California cities plan coop
erative banks to mobilize their credit
power under their own control. The
railroad employees Of San Bernardino,
who already have a cooperative store
doing 100000 of business annually
and weekly paper printed in their
own plant, are organizing labor bank
with capital Of 100000, to house
which an $65 900 building has already
been financed A similar cooperative
banking institution is under process of
formation at San Diego. 1t has been
helpfully stimulated by the attitude of
the bankers of that city, who have at
tempted to follow the advice Of Cap
tain John D. Fredericks, former dis
trict attorney, that "the only sure way
of stopping the progress of the labor
agitators is to refuse to loan money to
business men who operate on the union
shop plan" The cooperative socie-
ties Of San Diego are uniting with the
labor organizations in organizing a CO.
operative bank where the people who
produce the community's wealth can
control its use for the common welfare,
and at the same time return to them
selves the gain made by handling their
own money.

OPEN SHOP BLACKLISTING
STARTS COOPERATIVE FACTORY

For ten months the cigar workers of
Tampa, Florida, fought an heroic bat
tie for the recognition of the Cigar
Makers International Union of Amer
lea. At last, financially unable to con-
tinue the fight against the profit-gorg-
ed Cigar Manufacturers Association
of Tampa, the Uuion called the strike
off. But the manufacturers announc-
ed that they had adopted the "Amer-
ican open shop" and did not want la
Dor agitators around. And in accord
ance with the un-American despotsm
of the American plan." the Cigar
Manufacturers Association began a
merciless blacklisting against all active
union members, preventing them from
earning a living either in Tampa or
the adjacent towns where the Havana
tobacco industry is centralized.
Instead of retiring to the nearest un-
dertaker and asking for burial uer-
nit, the Cigar Workers Union success
fully appealed to their brother workers
for funds, and organized the Tampa
Cigar Company, Inc, a cooperative
factory owned to the last penny by or
ganized labor. The workers are now
turning out the best real Havana ci-
gars that skilled workmanship can pro-
duce at prices from 30 per cent to 50
per cent less than those which you pay
the Tobacco Trust for a non-union ci-
gar of uncertain quality. The Tampa
co-operators are enxious to sell their
product direct at wholesale prices to
all organized workers and farmers who
can tell blue label from yellow
scab. 1t should not take intelligent In
cense burners very long to do them
selves the favor of sending in trial
order
The past week also saw cooperative
action by the men who raised tobacco
to market their product for a fairer
price than the powerful Tobacco Trust
will pay them. Over $4,000 of the
$4,000 tobacco growers in Virginia
have signed a five-year contract for
the cooperative marketing of their
crops through the Virginia Tobacco
Growers Association; and the farmers
of North and South Carolina are en-
gagged in similar campaign. If CO.
operation in the tobacco industry goes
much further, it may yet be possible
to trim the profits of the American
Tobacco Company down to something
less than l0096.

The Story of

M N M Virginia re-
wolves about
the name of
Me- d SsZX Capt. John
N$$ssss 7xeS# Smith. 1t was
his indOm-
liable spirit which enabled the
settlement at jamestown to sur
vive the privations and difficult
ties that encompassed it during
those first years. There in 1907
was made the first permanent
English colony in America. The
charter given by King James l
to what was known as the Lon
don company, under whose aus
pices jamestown and the later
Virginia settlements were found
ed, designated that this colony
should extend 200 miles north
and 200 miles south of Old
Point Comfort and stretch west
ward to the sea. Under the reign
of Charles II it was considered
such an important colony that it
was called the fourth dominion
of his empire, that is, England,
Scotland, Ireland and Virginia.
From this Virginia was often
called the Old Dominion. The
name Virginia itself means the
virgin land and was so called
after Queen Elizabeth, the "Vir-
gin Queen" The early govern
ment of Virginia is of great in
terest. At first communism was
tried, under which system the
land and all property was owned
in common and all profits were
divided equally. This proved a
disastrous failure. In 1919 the
first real representative govern
ment in the colonies was estab-
lished, called the house of bur-
gesses, which continued in force
under varying fortunes until Vir-
ginia Joined the Union and be-
came the tenth state in 1888.
Much might be written of the
character of the early Virginian
settlers and their great influence
on American life. From Virginia
has sprung two other states,
Kentucky and West Virginia.
Even so, the states present area
is 1927 square miles. Politi-
cally the Old Dominion state is
entitled to twelve presidential
electors. This is about the aver
age of the southern states.
