LECTURE SUNDAY
UP ON CANADIAN
LABOR MOvEMENTl
Tom Bell Has a Live
Subject for Workers

We are strangely unacquainted with
the labor movement of Canada. Tho
it lies next door and has many import
ant and interesting organizations, po.
litical parties and union movements,
the overly self-centered labor move
ment of the United States pays little
heed to the millions of workers be-
yond the Canadian border.
Yet there are. many vital matters
upon which we may well inform our
selves, many situations in the organ
izations of labor, political and indus
trial. which serve as a warning and
guide in our own movement. These
matters will be taken up fully at the
open forum of the Workers Party,
which will be held at the Ashland
Auditorium, next Sunday evening, at
s o'clock, in lecture by Tom Bell.
The speaker is one who is thoroly
acquainted with the Canadian labor
movement and whose analysis Of it
will be given in his characteristic in
cisive and spirited delivery which
few speakers possess.
The title of the lecture is. "The
Canadian Labor Movement; It's Ten
denotes in Politics and the Trade I'm
IONS" The movement for Canadian
autonomy from the American Fedora
ton of Labor, the rise and decay of
the 0. B. u, the Canadian labor party
and many other features make this
lecture one Of especial importance for
those who wish to profit from the ex-
perience Of labor in other countries.

The Russian w0rkers, Revolution.

When the Russian workers and
farmers made their revolution in
November 1917, they took over the
lands and the factories, the palaces
and the houses, and made all the rich
people go to work or else leave the
country. Whoever would not work,
got nothing. Only workers and farm
ers who were willing to work for each
other, got all the land and the homes.
This revolution made the capital
lists in other countries afraid. That
is, they thought that the workers in
their own countries would do the same
thing, and they would have to go to
work for living. So they got together
and tried to overthrow the work
ers' government; they wanted to bring
back the old days when landlords and
capitalists owned everything in Rus
STA, and the workers nothing-the
same as in all countries where there
has been no workers revolution.
But the Russian workers and
peasants built up Red Army and a
Red Navy, and the workers in many
of the capitalist countries refused to
fight the government of the Russian
workers and farmers.
When the capitalists saw that they
could not change back to the old or
der by fighting with armies and guns,
they tried something else. They made
up their minds to fight Soviet Russia
with the BLOCKADE. That is, they
kept all ships away from Russia, the

When l read that the Bush conserva-
tory orchestra, which gave its first
concert Of the season at Orchestra
Hall recently, had announced the
finale of "Das Rheingold" as the
windup of the program, blinked and
read again. For the finale of 'Das
Rheingold" is, to say the least, excep-
tionally difficult music to play. It has
a very definite program, as unfolded
by the Wagnerian system Of leading
motives. Bonner, the god Of thunder
calls up a storm. The storm clears
away leaving a rainbow leading to
Valhalla. In a slow procession the
gods cross the rainbow to their newly
built castle, while from below comes
the cry of the Rhinemaidens, bereft
Of their magic gold. (These Rhine
maidens are Wagner's worst dramatic
blunder, but the music allotted to
them is quite effective on the concert
stage),

SECURITIES RISE
 THROUGHOUT WEEK
Rails And IndustriaIs Show A
 Marked Buoyancy

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Large amounts of Wall streets tremendous surplus of funds seeking employment were poured into the securities and com inodities markets this week with a re- sultant advance in prices. In the stock market the railroad averages moved into new high ground for the year, while many of the industrials developed marked buoyancy; particularly the chain store and merchandising issues. United States Steel common crossed par for the first time in weeks. Bond trad ing unusually active with prices of most of the standard liens at new high levels.
 The plethora of funds here was also reflected in the foreign exchange mar ket when the Canadian dollar touched 90 cents, it's best price of the year in reflection of the heavy transfer of funds from this center of Canada for investment in high-grade Canadian se- curities. The European exchanges held steady in quiet trading.
 Further easing took place in the time money market, loans up to 90 days be- ing available at 21a per cent with the longer matuSities commanding as much as 31a. Call money loaned on the out side at IA per cent, the lowest since 1908, although the official rate on the ''big board" remained at 2 per cent.

BONDS END WEEK
 AT TOP LEVELS.
Speculative Issues Eclipse Recent Records In
 Brief Session

NEW YORK, June 2S.--Bond prices ended the week at top levels, with va rious speculative issues eclipsing recent high records in today's brief but active trading session.
 Spirited buying of Interbofough and other transit liens continued, encour- aged by the view of leading fractions that had fare increased. marked an im- portant step in solving the transit prob- lem. Speculative rail liens also forged ahead although advances were limited largerly to fractions.
 Activity continued unabated in the foreign list. Serbian Ss mounted to the highest price of the year at S8% and Austrian 7s scored a further gain on announcement that the Hungarian con struction loan would be offered simul- taneously in. New York and London next week. Profit taking decreased the advance, of United States government obligations although the second 4Ks reached new high price in the early dealings. e
 Bankers announced an offering of $15, ,000,0 Atlantic refining AZ per cent notes, maturing from 1926 to 1928, at prices to yield 4.50 to 4.75 per cent. Proceeds will be used to re- tire existing bank loans.

PRICES SKYROCKET
 M CORN AND OATS
Field Conditions Declared To
 Be Very Unusual

CHICAGO, June 2S.-Sky-rocketing prices for corn and oats have almost monopolized attention in the grain trade this week, field conditions were so unusual, high authorities declared, that anywhere near a normal crop of corn this season would be out of the question except by means of an ex- ceedingly late fall. Compared with a week ago the corn market this morn- ing showed A to cents a bushel advance, with oats 1% to 6b cents up, wheat at 1a cent decline to an equal decline to Qual gain and provisions varying from cents lower to a rise of 20@22 cents.
 Scarcity of corn available for i'm mediate delivery, here forced the price of No. 2 yellow up to $101 bushel. At about this juncture, however, big profits taking sales of futre deliveries led to violent breaks in July, Septem- Der and December prices. Nevertheless the market level still remained far above where the advance had begun, both for corn and for the allied feed grain, oats.
 Harvesting southwest and slowness of export demand failed to depress the wheat market in the face of corn strength here and adverse conditions for wheat in Canada.
 Provisions averaged higher owing to sympathy with the corn market.

INVESTMENTS By T. H. MITCHELL .~
GETTING AHEAD.

That 200-million-dolla cash, balance Henry Ford is said to carry, and how he got it, that's interesting reading. Its instructive to read how John D. Rocke- feller, Charles M. Schwab, George x. Baker, John c. Shedd and a score of other "shirt-sleeve" miIlionaires came up by their own, sheer, unaided ability. Maybe another Rockefeller or a Schwab or a Baker can read it and find the way to go and do likewise But it doesn't apply to millions of men and women, everyday folks who haven't Rockefeller ability and who are asking themselves, How can I get ahead give more to, my family, own a home, have an assured income for my old age?'
 To answer those questions you have to go to wage earners and small salaried men and women, mail carriers, teachers, ministers, clerks. You will find sur prising number who have accumulated enough money to be wholly or partly financially independent. Their way of getting ahead is doubtless more practical for the average person than that of Ford or Rockefeller. For instance, we can take the case of a postman, who had never earned more than $500 a year, yet he and his wife could afford, and took seven months vacation tour of Europe. The postman's story:
 . t4.sYou don't get something for noth- ing. That's the first big thing learned in trying to get ahead. was an or phan at six weeks andsa newsboy at six years: found out terribly early that you've got to put something by for bad luck. I got $6O0 year when I entered the postal service. regularly put by at least 10 per cent every pay -day. Put it in a savings account. When I'd get a few hundred I'd put 1t in safe bonds.-- ti
 How'd know. what securities to buy2 I didn't and don't. But can never forgotten that you don't get some thing for nothing. I know, there are sharks waiting for uninformed investors like me4-read of fake oil promotions and ,bucketshops in the papers. I simply looked and asked for reliable investment security dealers until I was sure I had a good dealer. He picks my investment securities. didn't pick my investments. I picked men who made q business of picking investments, and who Twas dead sure were honest and knew their business. That's all there is to it.
 How old am I? Oh, not SO old I was in the navy during the war. That was the first time we ever used any of our interest My wife lived very comfortably on it while was getting $30 a month in the navy. Be- fore that, every interest payment went into savings and then into more bonds. The second time we spent interest money was when we went to Europe after the war. We were in France, England, Italy, Denmark, Germany and Sweden for seven months. My in- yestments yield around per cent. I never tried to get big interest. You don't get something for nothing. I never bought stock on margins. I've never lost penny in my investments. I made it my business to get good, hon. est investment advice from honest men who knew. That's all there is to it."

Calvin Coolidge has written a large number of essays in the form of speeches, which have been published in book form and they are vel worth the study of the many people of prominence who, without knowing anything at all about Coolidge except that he isn't par ticularly chatty, keep spreading the in- accurate information that he spends so much of his time in keeping silent that he is shallow and superficial and weak and timid and indecisive, and so on.
