Some thirty-five> years ago, in
1886, the American Federation Of
Labor declared May First the day
on which the workers Of America
were to demonstrate for an S-hour
day.
The first congress Of the now
deceased Second International, held
in 1889, made one step forward by
declaring May First an International
Labor Day, on which workers all
over the world were to agitate,
peacefully, for the s-hour day as
well as for international peace.
Since them the idea Of "May Day.
has grown more and more popular
among the workers Of the world and
has become a permanent. well es-
tablished institution. At the same
time It has grown more and more
revolutionary in character.
From year to year the workers
Of even the most reactionary and
backward countries of the world
have laid down their tools to de-
monstrate their power, to openly de-
clare their demands and to raise the
banner of international solidarity Of
labor.
And from its very start, this inter-
national Labor Day, the only real
proletarian holiday, met with the
bitterest hatred and fear on the
part Of world Capital.
Every year, in every country Of
the globe the police, the army, the
"Legions" and Security Leagues
as well as all other tools Of suppress
sion, mobilize their forces to kill
the attempt OF the workers to de-
monstrate their power and interna'
ltional solidarity on May First.
Every year hundreds Of workers
are thrown out Of the factories, i'm
prisoned and murdered for their de

Some time between darkness and

agents or police entered "The Toiler''

According to operators, lack Of de-

In the matter of the departure for

the Communist International makes
the following statement under
the signature Of its Secretary, Char
les Edward Scot.
"Comrade Haywood did not leave

cord, but at the direct command of
the Communist International of
which he is disciplined member

as the highest in the world. He will

international Congress of Trade and
Industrial Unions on July LIST, at

sistance are required by the Com
munist international and it was his
revolutionary duty to obey its sum-
mons to 60 to Moscow instead of
to prison, where too many Of our
best men are already buried alive.
The Communist international de-
nounces in the strongest terms those
lawyers and "liberals" who criticise
this soldier Of the revolution for
''breaking faith" with the capitalist
courts; who worry more about one
man who escapes than about the
score who 90 to prison. We trust

eve have too many japs now" Mr..
Hooper said. During the era Of high
prices they made with their bonuses
as much as 800 to $500 month on
labor scale OF s16 month. So you
can see what the bonus amounted to.
Many Of these foreigners either sent
their money home or they used 1t TO
start in business for themselves. In
either case, we derived no more bene-
fit from their presence because we
couldn't use their labor. The money
they earn is turned back to Japan,
either directly or indirectly. If we
can't get Chinese labor to work on the
big sugar plantations, 1t means that
many of the small operators will have
to close down and that the acreages on
the big places will be materially cut.
We don't want the Chinese perman-
entity but on basis of contracts to

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

A prominent physician says that by
far the largest number of women's all
ments are not surgical ones, that is
they are not caused by serious dis
placements, or growths. Symptoms
similar in character are often brought
about by much simpler conditions. We
therefore urge every woman who suf-
fers from backache, headaches, bear
ing down pains, side ache, irregulari-
ties, nervous dependency or weakness
to give Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial. 1t acts as a natural
restorative and often prevents more
serious troubles.

Berlin-A new complexion has been put upon the cases of Charles Neaf of Baltimore, and Frank Zimmer, of Denver, who are in jail at Eberbach in connection with the attempt to seize Grover c. BergdolI by the ad- mission of the American military au- thorities that the men were attached to the U. s. Army of Occupation on the Rhine. Neaf and Zimmer were still in jail, at Eberbach today, but it was expected that new steps would be inaugurated looking to their re- lease.
 Col. Stone, representing Gen.
