Sinking the Washington

signing of the Washington agreement. Let the

the White House and it will not hurt the plan for
heavier naval appropriations to be submitted to
the next congress.
But the sinking Of the Washington is no wan
ton act the result of desperate intention to
scrupulously obey the terms of the four-power
pact. Reading the inspired news dispatches from
Washington we learn that the sinking is merely
rehearsal for the next war. At this rehearsal the
Washington will be subjected to every test it
might meet with in war. This floating death
palace is the latest thing in naval construction

against The peace treaty, the soldiers
were leaving the front en- masse.
Lenin has defined the situation by a
very laconic but significant express
sion: "The peasants have voted in

hey have been leaving the front" No
amount Of phraseology in favor of a
revolutionary war could convince
HIM to the contrary. He was asking

any armed power, which could be put
IN against the fleeing, demoralized
peasant masses? We cannot fight. We
need breathing space No matter how

headquarters at Olympia, Wash
ington, ordered their employees
to work nine hours a day with
out increase in rate of wages.
The election Of Coolidge and Dawes
was the signal for the large employ
ers to cut loose with wage slashing
and speed-up methods. The Coolidge
ticket is the ticket of the labor haters,
and working class enemies.
Coolidge Ignored This.
In his proclamation on educational
week" Coolidge was careful to refrain
from mentioning the condition of the
workers and their families thruout the
country. Coolidge pleaded for educa-
ton, but did not say how the chill
dren of the workers are to obtain that
education.
Coolidge made no suggestion as to
what to do with the boys and girls
of ten, twelve and fourteen years of
age who cannot read or write because
they do not have the opportunity to
leave the industries and attend school.
Coolidge did not mention that the
states which have the largest number
of child laborers also have the largest
number of illiterate children.
Coolidge Brings Chaos.
Twenty-three states permit children
under fourteen, to work in industries
ten states allow children under sixteen
to labor IL hours a day and thirty
seven states allow children to enter
industry as workers before complet-
ing the eighth grade of school.
Sixty-four per cent of the children
under sixteen work regularly in the
Pennsylvania coal mines as breaker
boys, one investigation revealed.
Nearly half of those who worked were
under eleven years old. In North Caro-
lima cotton mills employ twelve-year-
old boys. while girls and boys fourteen
years of age are employed for eleven
hours day. In the factories of Geor-
gia twelve-year-old children work 60
hours week, and children of fourteen
years Of age work on night shifts.
These facts are CLEANED from reports
