coMRADESI WORKERS OF ALL
THE WoRLDI
Little Finland has over one thou
sand political prisoners according to
official information. A great portion
of US are those who were still left
alive after the great butchery that
occurred six years ago, but who have
since then been confined in prison
dungeons. In addition there are sever
al hundred who have been thrown be-
hind the bars since 1918, several hun
dred who have dared-not to take up
arms, not to revolt-but to aid the
widows and orphans of their muir
dered comrades, to organize labor or
CARNATIONS and work in them, to read
Communistic literature, to admit be-
ing Communists.
Even for our opinions we have been
sentenced And recently nearly two
hundred comrades were sentenced to
the penitentiary for many years mere
ly for the reason of having belonged
to labor party, which has been sym
pathetic toward the Communist Inter
national, not afiliated with 1t. In this
manner prisons here gain occupants,
in this manner White Finland defends
western culture and legal proceed

Torture System Of our Prison HeIls.
In other parts of the world political
prisoners have at least partial priyi-
leges compared to common criminals.
How about White Finland? Nearly to
the contrary. Only few % us may
enjoy the so-called "politic& privi-
leges," read bourgeoise newspapers
and receive a portion of the food de.
livered by our relatives. These poll
tical privileges" are remnants Of the
"conciliatory efforts" Of the class war
by which the bourgeoisie attempted
to plaster the bleeding wounds of the
proletariat. Even these privileges,
as said. are enjoyed by few, and
they are being diminished from day
to day. One comrade after another
who is suspected Of being an "agitat
or" is transferred, on the basis OF
mere suspicion. into the same prisons
with individual criminals. The greater
portion OF the political prisoners is
therefore without any privileges and
in many respects in more wretched
condition than common criminals.

XNTHAT does Wall Street think OF

MIHAr does wan street link q
wv John w. Davis, the Democratic
nominee for President?
Here are some of the opinions taken
from authoritative, recognized. spokes-
men of the biggest business interests
In the country. We present the ex-
pressions from seven widely recog.
nized organs of the most powerful
financial industrial groups of the
country.
Wall Street journal
Mr.. Candor of the Washington Staff
of the Wall Street journal, which has
the largest circulation Of American
financial newspapers, said the follow
ing about the nomination of Davis in
the issue of July 10th 1924:
1.-THE Democratic national conven-
ton has reached the best possible So
luton of an almost impossible situa-
ton, with the nomination Of John w.
Davis Of West Virginia and New York,
for President of the United States.
From the strictly non-partisan
point of view, the Davis nomination
insures a clean campaign conducted
on thoroughly national issues.
This writer knows many men of
both parties who served in the Con-
gress with Davis, and he has yet to
hear one say that the new Democratic
candidate is anything but able and
clear-visioned. Supreme Court Just
ices have said that Davis, as Solicitor
General, was the most able govern
ment lawyer who ever appeared before
the high court. His record as Am
bassador to the Court of st. James is
one of the outstanding bright spots
of the Wilson administration"
Coal Age
1.-THE July 18th Weekly Review is
sued by the Coal Age organ of the
strongest coal magnates sums up the
nomination of Davis in this significant
fashion:
"Clutching any straw within reach,
the coal industry rejoices that the
long, drawn out convention of the
democrats has finally come to an

where the only properly built portions
are the iron bars. We are compelled
to perform our compulsory labor in
crowded, dusty, stuffy shops, which
lack the most elementary require
ments from the viewpoint of health.
In case of illness we receive no care,
even tho unable to rise from our beds,
and when epidemics rage we are al
lowed to die for lack of care in the
corners of our dungeons. The care
of the sick" provided by the prisons
is only an imposition upon us and
mockery at the expense of the lives
of the prisoners.
Cannot Write In Prison.
All means are used to suppress our
efforts to educate ourselves. We are
not allowed to loan books to one an
other. Even a great portion of the
pure bourgeois books of general
knowledge, not speaking of any labor
literature, have been included in the
list of forbidden literature" We are
not allowed to make memorandum
notes from all Of the permitted
works." especially those of social
nature, and all original writing is for
hidden under threat of punishment.
Literacy is general in Finland, but we
are not allowed to take advantage Of
it. Such are the educational pursuits

and the dark cell are handed down ev-

followed by additional punishment.

Vicious Guards.

rough fights among them are so gen.
eral, that even certain Fascist pa.
pers have had TO demand chat their
weapons be taken away from them
outside the prison. But here they
must be armed.
Is it any wonder, then, that some
OF our comrades are overtaken by dis
couragement and melancholy? Is II
any wonder that sudden cases of in
sanity, suicide and attempst at muir
der are quite numerous here? Only
a few are able TO keep up their full
spirits under these conditions.

 Try chopping beets very fine instead Of in coarse dice. When your vege- tables must be so plainly dressed it's sometimes relief to find them served in a bit different shapes and sizes.

My! How the twos witches, Minga and Munga howled when you thumped them so hard." Raggedy Andy said to the poor man as they with Raggedy Ann and the hobby horse sat inside the house on wheels as it sped through the woods.
 "I could thump them great deal harder if l wanted to-" the nice pood man said. "They did not know that I was nside the house here. just waiting for them to step upon the porch. l 'spect, they won't bother us for some time." But the nice poor man was mistaken! The more thumps and bumps the two witches received, the more they desired to capture the Raggedye and own the two magic books, the house on wheels and the magical hobby horse to ride upon.
 And so, when their heads quit hurting, they stopped and sat down. Just you wait until l get my hands on Raggedy Ann!" Minsa witch howled.
 But first" Minga witch said to her sister, i've must be sure and get rid of that poor man. for he is the one who always bobs up and rcscues the Raggedys and he is the one who al ways gives us such hard thumps tool"
 What do you think we had better do?" Munga witch asked.
 We can work magic on the house on wheels and wreck fl, then the poor man will leave the Raggedys and go home." Minga replied.
 But we did that once before aiJ he. came right in our houses and thamped us and rescued the Rag gedys" Munga said.
 That is truc!" Minsa unused. Lets see what we can think of to get rid of him!" So the two witches thought and thought; and while they sat there planning a lot of mean things to do to the nice poor man, the house on wheels came to a magic play ground where there was mer- ry-go-round, flying Dutchman. giant swing. chute the chutes and peanut stands and everything.
 And, as there was large sign at the gate saying. Everything Free!" the Raggedys and the.p man and the hobby horse went inside and rode on the merry -go-round, and the other amusement things.
 They ate peanuts and Cracker Jack and popcorn and sandwiches, all free. They had ice cream sodas. ice cold lemonade. oranscade and bottles of pop.
 And 1t was while they were all in one of the little boats which slid from the top of a high chute down an incline into. the water and the

left shortly after dinner. So l must answer the bell myself.
 It was the first time that it had ever rung save in the daytime, when tradespeople called. I felt a sudden chill at the sound. Then I mastered my panic. Some neighbor might be calling on me, though this was i'm probable in New York. Or some one may have rung the bell by mis- take. It was incredible that the police should suspect the quiet-living floor of the walk-up apartment build ing. And certainly the White Eagle did not know where to hnd the man who had so deftly tricked him a few nights ago. So I put on calm front as l opened the door.
 My caller stepped swiftly inside. T come from Loedon," he said.
 Leedon was the fence with whom my deal was pending.
 Doesn't Leedon know better than to send anyone here?" l demanded angrly.
 The intruder was in my lving-room now, and in the electric light could see him. A big, burly, gross looking man, with light red hair, belligerent blue eyes and a prognathous, stubble- whiskered jaw.
 T didn't say Leedon sent me I said l came from him." he answered.
 What do you mean?" I asked.
 T mean that Leedon, for old times sake, was hiding me when you were dickering with him today. 1 over heard you talk. And l decided that half of three hundred thousand would just about fix me up. Don't try to draw gun; I've got you covered through my pocket" he declared.
