The small balls weigh Pa pounds
each; the medium balls, ~ pounds
each; the large balls, Is pounds each.
The problem is solved as follows:
Take the two bottom shelves and
eliminate six balls from each. This
leaves two large balls, equal in
weight to four medium balls; there
fore one large ball weighs twice as
much as a medium ball.
Take the two top rows: The two
large balls in the second row are
eliminated by a large and two me-
diums of the top row. Three small
balls of the second row eliminate
the three small balls of the top row.
Thus there remains a middle-sized
ball in the top row, equal to three
small balls in the second row. Thus
a middle-siZed ball equals three
small ones; a large ball, six small
ones. Each row contains the equiv
alent of IS small balls; each row
weighs 10 pounds, and As divided by
IS gives 21a pounds as the weight of
each small ball.

No Surrender in Paterson

When the history of labor struggles in the
United States is written there will be at least one
chapter devoted to the Paterson silk workers.
The courage and endurance shown by these
workers in the fight that is still in progress, and
in which the workers have met with some signal
successes in spite of the combined efforts of the
mill owners and police is one of the marveIs of
the present PERIOD marked as it is by the almost
under the leadership of ofcialdom that has long
ago lost what militancy it ever possessed.
The Paterson workers are now confronted with
new problem that probably presages a renewal
of the fight in mills that have made peace with
the strikers. Recent dispatches tell of a meeting
of mill owners at which plans made to break
down the working conditions agreed to by them
and by reason of which strikers returned to work.
The strike committee of the Associated Silk
WORKERS. has acted promptly in the new situation
land, in a statement calling a special meeting of
shop committeeman, has announced that the work
ers will be called out of every mill that violates the
recent agreement The statement refers to the sup
port received from other sections Of the working
class and this again is q remarkable feature of the
strike that has encouraged the Paterson workers to
continue the struggle. The Workers Party strike
relief committee alone has turned over something
like $4,000 to the Paterson workers and has been
big factor in keeping up the morale of the strik
ers.
The resistance Of the Paterson silk workers has
undoubtedly done much to halt the wage cuts in
other sections Of the textile industry, and II the
necessity for a new struggle develops the support
of the strike would receive new impetus.

But Cyril has ambitions and like little Alice he

impudent upstart, and remarked>th the crown of

In fact the fun waxed fast and furious Cyril
called upon all the other grand dukes of Russia
in Berlin-to recognize his claim. Russian Ber-

Now Cyril, terming himself "Hs Majesty, Cyril

In England the vacillation' and cowardice Of

organized for the overthrow of the

these 1900 treated? Let US compare
the facts
These prisoners consists of monar-
chists, four white guard generals, So
cial democrats, social revolutionaries
and scores of anarchists, such as

1919 when seven leading Communists

another such attempt. They would
rather see Denikin succeed. These
