Tommy was always in trouble
Of some sort. One of his greater
faults was that he never stopped
talking.
So father ordered him to re-
main silent at mealtimes until he
was spoken to.
One dinner time he noticed
the small boy simply bursting tc
speak, so he asked kindly:
"Well my boyg'
care caterpillars good tt
eat?" asked little Tommy.
"No," said father, "wha'
makes you ask that?'
"You had one on your lettuce

Scores in Prison
Who Should Be Out
Says Freed Soldier

Scores of eX-service men are in
Leavenworth prison wrongfully, but
have no friends outside the govern
ment prison to help them, according
to Roy Youngblood of Omaha, Neb.,
who has arrived home from the
prison, where he was serving a life
sentence, but was pardoned by Pres
ident Harding.
Youngblood and four other Amer
lean soldiers, who were pardoned
with him, were convicted by court
martial at Coblenz, Germany, in
August, 1920. of the Staying of a
British officer. The killing took
place at REM, near Coblenz, when
the officer was struck on the head
by flying bottle and died.
"None of us was near Renz,"
Youngblood said. "We had been at a
cafe in Coblenz with civilian, who
left us and went to REM with some
girls. This civilian was tried and
acquitted by a German court.
"All the evidence against US five
was that we had been in the COM
pany of the civilian earlier in the
evening.
"When we were tried a young
lieutenant who knew nothing of law
and little of the case, was named as
our counsel. He did not put any of
us on the witness stand to let us
tell our story. We had four soldier
witnesses who testified we were at
Coblenz and not at REM. An in
terpreter who saw the soldiers TAX
ing part in the fight failed to iden-
tify us. But the court rt-martial found
us guilty and sent us to prison for
life.

What Happens to
New York Teachers

The Teachers Union received re-
Gently letter from a member who
has resigned his position in one of
the New York City high schools to
go into business. What he says rel
ative to his experience in the schools
is of considerable importance to the
ultimate position OF the school in
the community.
"For sixteen years l have taught
in the public schools, and for the
last eleven years l have suffered,
actually suffered mental anguish
watching stupid and unreasoning
powers manage the schools auto
cratically. Many a time has my
blood boiled at the acts of the Of

Butchers

The union wants the cooperation
of every union member in the city
in their controversy against Snider,
the Rural Butcher.
They reported 10000 members on
strike against the packers, who
broke the agreement formerly en-
tered into with the butchers.
A referendum vote was taken to
resist another cut in wages which
resulted in the strike. The packers
now have formed company unions in
which the packers have the main
representation. Conditions in the
East are not so bad, in New York
the butchers have resisted success
fully wage cut and got an increase
of three dollars.

Why the Japs Are Here

The Placer Packing association,
which includes many prominent fruit
growers in California, has discharged
all white girls employed in its plants
and substituted japanese men. The
association is now turning out twice
its daily number of boxes of fruit,
as the girls are allowed by law to
work only eight hours a dav, where
as the men work Is or more hours
per day, as required, and for the
same or smaller wages. There is
minimum wage law for women in
California, but not for men, and the
Japanese always can be secured for
less than white men.
Yet it is the employers who raise
the cry of the Jap invasion" while
the workers spend their time and
energy in educating the Japs TO un-
derstand unionism. A lesson which
they are quick to learn.

THE SLAVE
By George Stanley.

By George Stanley.
From cradle cradle to the shrouded grave he tolls
Yet ne'er enjoys the laureled victors spois;
From cradle to the unconquered grave his life
With disappointed dreams and hopes rife.
Morn's clarion note awakes his fevered soul
To endless days and years of ceaseless dole;
Night finds his body weary, tired and spent
And spirit marred with cankered discomfort.
Loves charms yet add more burden to his life
With all is petty and eternal strfe
He understands such thing peace
With brow carved deep with withered line and crease
Misfortune claims him for her very
And Care and Sorrow mock his ceaseless groan.
With soul o'er-flowng with deep unrest
His heart and brain forever oppressed;
The joys of life, alas not for him,
And crushed, indeed is every single whim.
He seeks gaineth knowledge which is power
But tolls and sweatheth every cursed hour,
He'll hath no thing of fury that he fears
And anguish finds him weak yet void of tears.
And thus with blasted aims, and bloody shield
To him Lifes but backoned battlefield.
