became convinced that neither
calling was in harmony with
his social philosophy, but that
his place was in the ranks of
the workers. And there he has
remained ever since.
A Leader in the Labor Movement.
He worked for three years in
Bloomingdale's department store and
took leading part in organizing the
Retail Clerks Union, of which he was
president for two years. Because of
his union activities, he was discharg-
ed by the Bloomingdale concern,
blacklisted by the Merchants Associa-
ton and trailed by their spies from
one job to another. In 1914, Gitlow
created profound impression before
the Industrial Relations Commission
of which Frank P. Walsh was chair
man, by his testimony on the inner
workings of department store manage
ment.
Then he became a clothing cutter
and Joined the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers Union, Cutters Local No. A,
of which he is still a member.
Prominent in the Left Wing.
He was elected to the New York
State Assembly on the Socialist ticket
in 1917 and renominated in 1918. Feel
ing that the Socialist Party was fast
losing its revolutionary character, he
became an active member of the Left
Wing and later was instrumental in
organizing the Communist Labor Par
ty.
Imprisoned for His Ideas.

PATERSON, N. j., Sept. s.
Following a scorching denun-
citation of the so-caIIed "arbi-
traitor" Of the U. S. department
of labor, John A. Motif, as a
tool of the capitalists control
ling the government, n. m.
Wioks, who has been addressing
the silk strikers here daily, was
subjected to steady stream of
abuse by the local press.
Hits Moffit.
"Moffit is an appointee of
John w. Davis, who is in turn
an appointee of the late Presi-
dent Harding" declared Com
rade Wicks. He went on to re-
call the recent oil scandal. ''NIr.
Motif had rather talk about
teapot domes than kerosene
lamps"
The Paterson Evening News and the
Paterson Press-Guardian, both the
kept sheets of the textile bosses here.
have used up columns of space in an
attempt to discredit the Communist
speakers in the eyes Of the striking
mill workers, but to no avail. The
Communist speakers are received with
great enthusiasm at every strike
meeting.
Especially vicious in its denuncia-
lions has been the Paterson Evening
News.
In a bitter TRADE it referred to H.
NJ. Wicks, of New York, who has been
ADDRESSING mass meetings at Turn
Hall as an undesirable agitator and
demanded that Chief Tracey suppress
him.
The Chief of Police called Wicks
into his Office for an interview as a
result of this publicity but A;Ss taken

Both the Trade Union Educational
League and the Workers Party are
active in this strike. A number of
Communists are on the strike COM
mittee, some of them taking leading
parts, while the mass of workers are
decidedly responsive to the militant
way in which the COMMUNISTS carry
on their part of the fight. The end
of the strike will see the Communists
emerge with tremendous influence
among the workers in-this vicinity.
A number Of prominent speakers
are due to address the strike meet
ings in the near future. Benjamin
Gitlow, Workers Party Candidate for
Vice-President of the United States,
and Arturo Giovan Nitti are among
those who will be here soon.
Juliet Stuart Poyntz, Of New York,
has addressed the strikers on two &C.
casions and Benjamin Lifshitz, of
New York, addressed a large meeting
of Jewish strikers, both of them re-
ceiving enthusiastic ovations from
workers.
There is also a demand for the

willing to part with it for the reward.
 That time it needed watchmaker to get it running again, but it was real ly none the worse for it's bath In fact, it seemed cured until last month when took it off in the washroom on the train and it disappeared suddenly and completely. I wasn't sure enough to say that any one of the three other women in the room had taken it so l thought it was gone for good until the railroad company called me up and asked me to identify it as part of the loot they had found when they watched the silent, scared-looking little woman who had tried so hard to find it for me She had been detained as she was leav- ing the statiOnIand they found all sorts of stolen goods on her, it seems.
 But this time I hope that watch is gone for good. I'm getting nervous about the thing, it's so uncanny the way it wanders off and comes back smiling" ]"
 'How did you lose it this time?' asked the young man, in a rather hesitating fashion.
 Hast night mother and went to the theater and I had it when we started for home but when we were home again, inside the house, mother asked me the time and that watch was gone again! I'd not worn it on my wrist because I'd wanted to wear the emerald band that father gave me for my birth day, but the watch was safely tucked away in my opera bag and I just couldn't have lost it from there! I ad- vertised in tonight's paper, but of course it was stolen this time. What are you grinning about?'
 Perhaps I'd better wait until 1 see what reward you offered before I con- fess," the young man said as he drew the vagabond from his pocket. II stumbled against the mat at your front door as came in tonight and my foot struck against this watch. I was won dering if it was yours and if you'd rather have it found or stay lost. Sup pose we compromise on the reward. I'll get you that platinum watch you've been wanting, and you might accept it in lieu of the engagement ring you say you never would wear"
 But where do you come in on the reward. if you have to buy me a watch?" asked the girl.
 "Oh, you get the watch and I get you," he replied airily, "and we will keep the old watch for you to wear if the new one also develops wanderlust tendencies"
 There seems to be a catch in it some where" the girl puzzled, "but all things considered, I believe you may give me that new watch"

There is nothing in the world more unjust than the American fathers at- titude toward his daughter. As long as she lives at home she is pampered, and spoiled, and indulged, and accus- toned to every luxury. But when she marries, in nine cases out of ten, her father washes his hands of her. He gives her no dowry. He chucks her on to the man she marries to support. He does nothing to provide for the extrav- agant tastes he had cultivated in her or of catering to the habits he has formed in her.
 This is cruelty to the girl, for if she happens to marry a poor man she is suddenly translated from riches to poverty. She has to do without the things she is accustomed to and do labor for which she is not trained, with the result that she is often broken in health and spirit.
