Some Of these quotations are Of

their context and tortured into an

Mr., Barr Is desperate for material

We're regarded as among the most

has never been proof of justice.
Moreover, to link the government
of Great Britain with the bandit rule
at Moscow is an insult to the English
democracy, which, unfortunately,
however, the English democracy
seems not yet TO greatly resent.
The success of the bolshevik prop

wonders, for TO perpetrate such a
tragic hoax over so long period Is
an achievement of which Satan him

OF course it is not "the workers of

being let in. IL means letting in
the bolshevik policies and giving them
a chance to disrupt the bona fide labor

Such twaddle Is fit only for children
or crooks. How do they get that way
and where do they get that stuff?
The Federal Trade Commission de-
serves three cheers from organized
labor for camping on the trail of man
ufacturers who make misleading use
of the union label.
The commission has just issued a
complaint against three Philadelphia
clothing manufacturers for using the
union label on their products, despite
the fact that they do not employ un-
ion workers. Such use of the union
label, the commission says, has a tend
ency to mislead and deceive the pur
chasing public and results in unfair
advantage over competitors. Which is
putting it very mildly.
Organized labor will watch with in
terest the commissions action against
the accused manufacturers, who are
to be given a hearing in December.
That union men and women will
root" for the commission in its cam
paign against fraudulent use of the
union label goes without saving
