And with stability assured abroad,
the president said, new opportunity
for American leadership for world
peace may present itself When It
does, he will call another world con-
ference on limitation Of ornaments, he
said. The present is not the time for
this, he added, but as soon as it
seems such a parley would be par
ticipated in willingly by Europe and
would have chance Of success, he
will urge that it be held.
Same Old Bunk.
He again perfunctorily commended
the Harding world court, but said
other measures are necessary, in
Guiding codification of international
law and the holding Of frequent in
ternational conferences to take up
specific problems as they arise.
America first of all must be true
to herself and order her course ra-
tionally and peacefully at home, he
said, in order that her leadership for
world peace may be strengthened.
And he warned that tho America be
ever so peaceably inclined, this ma
ton cannot force the millennium on
other nations il they are not willing
for It, World peace, he said, must
come, finally from the heart of the
people"

CHICAGO TRID UNE
SPITS LIES ABOUT
RUSSIAN CHILDREN
Mum About Suffering
In America

On Friday, April IL, the Chicago
Tribune printed two pictures in its
pictorial section showing the suffer
ing Of Russian children, plus the Inn
agination of the paid newspaper liars.
The captions which go with these pic
lures speak of the naturalization of
children.
This is the latest invention Of the
enemies of Soviet Russia and recalls
the story that had such wide circu-
lation about the naturalization Of
women. 1t may be true that there is
still a certain amount of suffering
among children in Soviet Russia. But
the Tribune fails to speak of the mil
ions Of child laborers in this country
who slave away in the factories and
on the fields for a mere pittance, liv-
ing under the most frightful condi-
tons
While U. S. Kids Are Homeless.
The Tribune fails to speak Of the
thousands of homeless waits in this
country, the wealthiest of capitalist
countries. There is no mention any
where in the Chicago Tribune about
the children of the hundreds of thou
sands of unemployed in this country.
Plenty Of pictures could be printed
showing the suffering of children in
this country, or in other capitalist
countries 1t is not out of pity that
the hypocritical Chicago Tribune car
ries those pictures of Russian chill
dren. 1t is simply part of the cam
paign of the capitalist press to dis
credit the first workers republic!
The Chicago Tribune is one Of the
worst enemies of the working class
of this or any country; 1T has never
once suggested that the United States
ought to recognize Soviet Russia. Re.
cognition of Russia by the United
States and the resultant trade would
aid Soviet Russia to recuperate en-
tirely from the last vestiges of the
ravages wrought by the world war
civil war, foreign invasion, blockade
famine.
Russian Trade-U. S. Jobs.
Trade with America would mean
machinery for Russia, it would mean
an increase of production and fur
Their improvement Of conditions
Trade with Russia would be bene
fit to American workers. it would give
employment to hundreds of thousands
of workers in this country who are
at present out of work. Trade with
Russia would relieve the suffering OF
the children of the hundreds of thou,
sands Of unemployed in this country
Eut the Chicago Tribune does not
speak of these things. 1t specializes
in lies about the first workers re
public. 1t is true that Soviet Rus
STA has not completely recovered. but
Russia is on the upgrade, while other
capitalist countries, notably Germany
are on the downgrade.

ployes should they again enter the

Every move of the Pullman slaves
are therefore, subject to the whims
of the high officials Of the Pullman
Company. It would be difficult in
deed, for Pullman worker, to get
away for convention Of his labor I'M
ion, If he had one, or his political
party, without his boss knowing it.
This death benefit scheme builds
a Chinese wall around that little in
dustrial czardom known as Pullman,
Illinois, beyond which no worker dare
stray without permission Of the COM
pany.
Also Hit by Lay-otfs.
The workers also lose their death
benefits if the shop shuts down, if he
is fired thru a reduction of the force,
or thru lack of work. If the wage
slave is ready and returns to his job
Immediately when he is called by the
Pullman Company, after an industrial
depression is over, he will have his
death benefit restored. But no al
lowance is made for him If he should
happen to die in the meantime.

PULLMAN STRIKERS GRIEVANCES

to the survivors of workers who have
been employed in the Pullman plant
for one year or more. When the
workers get disconnected, when they
protest against the low wages they
are receiving, or when. as in the pres
ent instance, they protest against re-
auctions in their wages, the Pullman
Company always reminds them of the
money that is waiting their widows,
or orphans when they die, if they re-
main loyal slaves.
Strike and Its All of.
Because, if the workers disobey the
edicts Of the great Pullman Company
and go on strike it is all off with the
death benefits.
Clause No. 10, of the proposed plan
declared that:
1.-THE death benefits provided for
under this plan will terminate with
the termination of employment with
the Company. Employment will be
held to be terminated when the en-
ploye voluntarily leaves the service of
the Company, or is discharged for
cause, or when for any cause except
sickness he shall be absent from duty
without permission for period Of
thirty or more days, or when retired.
Employees desiring leave Of absence,
therefore, should make request In the
customary way upon their supervl-
sorry officer, who will refer such re-
quest to the Board Of Pensions for ap.
prevail. Where employees have been
absent for more than thirty days for
any cause except sickness without
the written approval Of the Board of
Pensions, their employment will be

Indignation Caused
BY Stopping of Film
For German Relief

The Chamber of Commerce Of De-
catur, Ill, stepped in and prevented
the showing on Saturday. April 10, of
the film, Russia and Germany-a
Tale Of Two Republics" on the pre-
text that there is Communist propa-
ganda in this film, which is being
shown in order to save German chill
dren from starving.
Banned in Decatur.
This film was to have been seen
at the Decatur High School, but was
withdrawn at the last moment by
]. ]. Richeson, superintendent Of
schools, who did not lay the matter
before the board Of education, but
acted upon the request Of John Nc
Evoy, president of the Chamber of
Commerce Of Decatur 1t was impos-
sible to get another hall in the short
notice given, and more than 500 peo-
pie were turned away. Tremendous
feeling has been generated by this
despicable action, and there is a
storm of indignation in Decatur, with
the people there clamoring for the
picture. A number of workers in De-
catur, thoroly aroused by the un-
speakable action Of the Chamber of
Commerce, and realizing that the
only way to fight the chambers of
commerce and the capitalist class in
general is by joining the Communist
movement, are asking for admission
into the. Workers Party.
This film will be shown in spite OF
any chambers of commerce. 1t is be.
ing shown all over the country, and
this is the first time that any hin.
drance has been put in its way.
Nationwide Demand.
The Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers of Boston has rented it for the
May festival, and other organiza
tions are preparing to rent the pic
ture. 1t will be shown in Chicago or
May IA at Orchestra Hall. The first
showing in New York will be at the
Central Opera House, 205 East 9th
street, Friday evening, May 8, at
which occasion there will also be a
musical program by the Uthman
Singing Society, splendid chorus Of
fifty men.
Demands for the showing of this
film are coming from all over the
country. The workers of America
are thrilled at seeing the workers OF
Germany battling against the black
forces of capitalist and monarchist
reaction. They are moved at the
sight of German workers and their
families fighting against starvation
caused by capitalist misrule. The
workers of America are anxious also
to see the tremendous advance being
made in Soviet Russia which is on
the upgrade and which is rapidly out
stripping the rest of the world. All
this they can see in the film, Russia
and Germany-a Tale Of Two Repub
lics," released by the International
Committee for Workers Aid, pro
ceeds of which are for the benefit OF
German workers relief.

HARTLEY

WHEN Col. Hartley finished speak
" ing in Kennewick last week a
war veteran asked him what his war
record was. Hartley then modestly
informed the questioner that he had
attained the rank of colonel during
the Spanish American war, and that
he volunteered as his two sons did
in the late war. Then in answer TO
the question as to why he refused 10
seek the veteran endorsement, Hart
ley replied, 81 look upon the office
of governor as business manager OF
the state, and wish to present my
qualifications along that line alone
Furthermore, service to country is
too sacred thing to drag into pol
itics."
In other words, Hartley is not a
war politician, though he has the
best business record of any candi-
date in the field.

her usefulness and consequent earn
ing power" And he doubted that
commercial courses have any proper
place in the high school.
81 am not sure that the girl pre-
pairing for business does well under
any conditions at the sacrifice of the
courses in the kind of education that
for lack of better term we call
LIBERAL" he added.
In my opinion the business world
needs educated persons more than it
needs vocational training. 1t may be
questioned, in word, whether our
schools are not trying to do more
kinds of things than they can do
well.
"Too many of those who come to
business from the schools have not
acquired the habit of work. A reas-
on may be that it is the fashion in
much of the schooling today to let
the pupil follow his bent. 1t is the
day of electives and short cuts to
education. There is less Of the grind
that disciplines the, spirit and forms
the habit of work. There are too
many of what have been called bar
gain sales, in education"
There are many communities that
have grabbed these new and expen-
sive educational frills simply because
they were progressive, but now many
business men and educational experts
are coming to the conclusion that
these frills are not only waste
of the taxpayers money, but a de-
cided detriment to the mental de-
velopment of the child. If this proves
to be true, how many towns will be
progressive enough to take back
ward step?

WASTE

MOST of the game that requires
AVA the protection of the officers of
this county is found along the Column
bia river section. The game warden
travels all the way from Prosser to
do his most important work. Of
course we have local deputy sher-
Tiff who could very easily take over
the game warden's duties and save
the taxpayers a large part of one
of these salaries but that would be
inconsistent. Such a combination
would smack too much of the bust
ness methods that would be followed
by a private corporation and no po-
litical unit could of course adopt such
plan. 1t would rob one of these
men of the pleasure of continually
crossing the path of the other at
county expense. So
Despite the fact that we have re-
suits of red tape and politics all
about us we still have people who be-
lieve that La Follette's plan to put
the railroads in politics would bring
cheaper rates. ---. -.a-e

THE SCHOOLS

WHEN the fall returns and young
w Anne RIGA trudges away with a
fixed determination to find out just
how far he can go and avoid actual
combat with his new teacher, We be-
gin to wonder what it is really all
about. We remember when we made
our yearly start with the idea of fol-
lowing the course of least resistance,
and as the years go by we are in
elm ed to belief that Young Amer
ice. has made decided advance in
his ambition to dominate the stu
alton. " @@- ~ .-
When we made our start there was
Just one path to follow. We took
this path without a whimper as there
was no other way to trugde. But the
day of freedom and progress has az
rived, the three RS are discarded
and modern youth with all the dig
nifty of a railroader or member of
the plumbers union orders his edu-
cation la carte.
If the student doesn't like Latin
he takes French. If chemistry is hard
he takes physics. If it requires too
much mental effort to remember the
keys on a typewriter the pupil is
given a salad to mix or hat rack to
make, while he is going through his
educational gyrations of securing
enough credits to allow participation
in the formality Of graduating eXer-
cises. In other words we have OBJ
served decided drifting away from
what at one time were considered
fundamentals in education. These
have been replaced by so called prac-
tical studies that are little more than
poor physical exercises.
The more we observe this democ-
racy the more we believe that this
country needs citizenship that can
reason. The more time therefore,
that is spent by students with saws
and hammers, and typewriters and
pies, the less We can expect from
that part of Young Americas brain
that is developed by hard study and
practice in reasoning.
Many of our foremost educators
have sounded warning by stating
that the universities are being flood
ed with students who do not possess
sufficient mentality to grasp collie
giate subjects of study. They all at
tribute this weakness to, the adoption
of courses in preparatory schools that
require little mental effort and de-
velopment of reason.
Not only have educators become
alarmed at this condition but bust
ness men are beginning to note the
weakness of the modern educational
trend. Let us quote prominent east
ern banker, Mr.. Wooden Of Indian
apolis, who said he believed in keep
ing girls out of business and out of
business schools until they have fin
ished at least high school course.
"For the making of a business
woman, year in high school is
worth more than year in business
or year in business school," he de-

CIRCUS man IS
ST ABBED BY
GIRL
Attack Discloses Tragedy
Lurking Beneath Gayety
of big Top"

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1S.-An
old fiction idea-that back Of the
superficial comedy of the circus
often lies pathos and tragedy-was
exemplified in real life when Miss
Media Lynns. twenty.one years old,
Of Williamsport. stabbed and seri-
ously wounded Russell Thompson,
swenty-three years old, of Tyrone,
Pa.
Thompson is the manager of a
small circus now playing here. Miss
Lynns. known in the circus world
as Babe" King, is a concessionaire
with the show. =,
Miss Lynns was In love with
Thompson, and thought he was In
love with her, but yesterday Miss
Elizabeth Smith, eighteen, also OF
Tyrone, came to Philadelphia to
meet Thompson. After the after
noon performance, Miss Lynns
learned for the first time that
Thompson was engaged to Miss
Smith. 1t was that knowledge
which Infatuated her to the point
Of stabbing Thompson.
The trio had gone to a lot at
Fifty.sceond and Ludlow streets,
where some of the circus animals
and various paraphernalia are
stored. Thompson drew Miss Lynns
aside and broke the news about
Miss Smith. He told her he could
not continue his friendship with
her because he expected to be
married shortly to the other girl.
Thompson left Miss Lynns and
walked back to the side of his
fiance. AS he did so Miss Lynns
seized an ice-pick. Miss Smith saw
her stoop and screamed a warning
to Thompson. The circus manager
dashed ahead instantly. Miss
Lynns after him. He would have
succeeding in eluding her, but he
turned his head at the street and
ran into standing automobile
which blocked his progress.
A moment later Miss Lynns was
upon him. She drove the ice.pick,
an exceptionally long one, into his
back Then, as the crowd closed in
about her, she disappeared. Thomp-
son fell unconscious, and Miss
Smith bent over him, trying to
staunch his wound,
Police Lieutenant McGregor sent
