Union Of Railwaymen, apparently has
not gained in popularity among the
members Of the union since he became
the manager of John Bulls colonies.
When Thomas lost his job as colonial
minister, he returned to the unions
payroll and at the earliest possible
moment arranged mass meeting for
himself in London. The London coun-
Gil Of the N. U. r. however refused
to have anything to do with the faker
Thomas meeting and that worthy
gentleman therefore called off his
talkfest. Things are moving in Eng

enthusiasm for the Soviet regime
shown by the British labor leaders
who visited the recent Congress of the

The specter of Communism hovers
over Europe today much more
vividly than when Karl Marx wrote
the famous manifesto. The frenzied
EFFORTS Of the capitalists to destroy
this menace by executions and jails
win only arouse the working class to
more determined action against their
enemies. That Herriot, the so-called
socialist premier of France should be-
come the lieutenant of the British tory
government in leading the anti-Com-
