Youth VierDs
Foster and Coolidge ON the
American Youth.
By HARRY CANNES

lust the other day Coolidge wiped
y his oil soaked hand long enough
to pat the boys of the nation on
the back and give them his masters
advice; "Work hard and behave"
The occasion was the visit Of a
group of boys to the oily strike
breaking president to ask his bless
ing for the coming nationwide cele-
bration Of "Boys Week." April 81 to
May 8.
The president actually stopped
his work to meet the boys and in q
quavering voice told how he was
bringing up his own two boys to
work hard and behave" Certainly
if the boys follow in their fathers
footsteps or in those Of nearly all
Of the present cabinet members they
won't have to work hard And If
they behave half as well as Daugh-
erty, attorney general of the United
States of America, they will be the
light of the closing years Of an
accidental president.
"Work hard and behave" What
does that mean to the vast mass
of youth of the nation? What does
it signify to the 100000 child la
borers Submit to the boss and
keep your mouth shut; refuse to
join unions; give the last ounce Of
your immature strength to the
bosses and their graft ridden gov
eminent officials.
We hear a lot of sentimental slop
about the boys this time of the
year, with ''boys week" coming on.
All the lies taught the American
youth are magnifed ten Thousand
times. The opportunity bunk works
overtime, and more than one fag
is worn out by waving to impress
the love of country on the callow
youth.
Nor is militarism overlooked. You
will think the boy scout leaders
rule the boys of the nation if YOU
watch the boys week parades. The
Legion officers go thru their monkey
antics to impress the proletarian
youth Of the necessity Of preparing
to kill some foe. just whom is not
told, but that the killing is in the
interest of capitalism is unquestion-
able. The banks, the factory own
ers, the politicians will all join
hands in creating the illusion of
opportunity; and the impressionable
young lads will be immune for
while to the brutalities Of their
working class environment and to
their miserable fate of future wage
slavery.
Amid the trash and junk that Is
peddled by. the benefactors Of cap
italism it is refreshing to recall the
words Of a working class leader
who knows what is the best inter-
est Of the American youth, one who
understands how the boys are be-
ing bamboozled, and points TO the
open and direct road TO emancipa-
ton from the fate Of wage slavery
Of which the vast number of Amer
lean boys are either present or
prospective victims.
"The young, if left TO the mercies
Of capitalism" says william 2.
Foster, will be the mainstav of
the reaction, but il taken in hand
and educated and organized by the
labor movement, will be the van
guard Of the revolution"

Class Justice

Sinclair, the hero of the oil holdup. has de-
fed the United States Senate Committee in
refusing to answer questions put to him on the
witness stand regarding his financing of the
republican party. Mr.. Sinclair did not even
hide behind plea of determination and de-
gradauon IN accordance with the constitu-
tlonal provisions. Sinclair Just politely told
the Walsh committee that the oil matter was
no longer any of its business. The oil mapnate
had with him at his side the well-known cor
poratlon attorney Martin w. Littleton, Of
New York.
The Senate has done nothing effective to
make Mr.. Sinclair toe the mark If the law
would be applied as it is on the statute books
Mr.. Sinclair would be behind the bars TODAY.
In plain, ordinary, common jail But Mr..
Sinclair is touring the country in limousines
scot free. Why is this special treatment being
accorded to Sinclair?
Why is it that workngman or poor farmer
is Immediately thrown into Jail when he utters
even the mlldest words regarding some bought
and-pald-for aristocrat of the robe? There is
no doubt that if the recalcitrant witness before
the committee were a workingman, he would
now be rotting in some filthy federal cell for
his challenging the dignity of the United States.
Yet, some tiannel-mouthed defenders of our
present system of government would have the
working and farming masses believe that we
do not have capitalist class system of Justice
in this country.
AS matters stand now, Mr.. Sinclair can
monkey around with and hide behind the in
tricate technicaIities of the legal system for
at least year. The final arbiter will be the
Supreme Court, the nest of the blacklist of our
black dictionaries In the meanwhile the
Senate Committee will have to bite its thumbs /:
the country will be kept in ignorance of how
the republican party was financed in its last
national campaign; government by oil will re-, re-
main supreme; and Mr. Sinclair will have the
laugh on the whole outfit that is pretending to
hunt his head ~
We submit, this is the rankest form of Justice
handed to the workers and farmers of This
country. Yes, we can always count on the
courts to run to the rescue of the exploiters
when their class interests are in danger

This is "The Story of John
Brown" by Michael Gold. Pub
lished by the DAILY WORKER
thru arrangement with Haldeman-
Julius Company, of Girard, Kans.
Copyrighted, 1924, by Haldeman-
Julius Company.
The Growth CT An Abolitionist.
TOR tho John Brown had always
4 been an abolitionist, tho he had
learned from his father, and from
his own experiences to hate slav-
cry and It's manifold brutalities,
it was not until his thirty-fifth
year that John Brown showed any
more active hatred of it than did
hundreds of Ohio farmers around
him. Like them, he aided when
he could, IN the work of the I'm
derground Railroad. Thousands of
free Negroes and white abolition
lists were engaged in this work of
passing fugitive slaves from the
South up over the Canadian line,
where they were being restored
to manhood under the flag of
monarchism.
But John Brown, in 1894, began
thinking that education of the
Negroes might be an important
way toward the solution Of their
problems. He formed plans of
starting a school for them. He
and his family at this time, tho
his wool business was going COM
fortably, lived in extreme frugal
ity, for they had agreed to save
all they could toward the estab-
lishment of some such school. For
years John Brown dreamed of
such ventures as these; and he
read all the journals of the small
abolitionist groups, and met many
Of the leaders. He always spoke
against slavery in churches or
political meetings where he hap
pened to be; and he made friends
with many Negroes, and showed
a deep interest in all their prob
lens. But not yet had he formed
any Of those belligerent plans that
later were his whole life. He still
believed that abolition might be
effected by education and peace
full agitation.
Slavery Causing War.
Events were piiing up too rap
idly against such view, however.
The South grew more aggressive
every day. The slave system
seemed to carrying Everything be-
fore it. It had broken the agree
ment Of 1920 by extending slav-
cry above the Mason and Dixon
line into Missouri. 1t had forced
the war against Mexico, and had
carved out huge new tracts for
slavery. 1t dominated the govern
ment Of the United States. All of
the Presidents were pro-slavery,
or they could not hope for Office.
Congress was pro-slavery, and the
Senate, too.
And it was not only in the
South that the life of an aboli.
zionist was worth little more than
pinch Of snuff. The slavery
venom had crept into the North,
for powerful economic reasons.
The Northern merchants and
manufacturers made their profits
by selling machinery, and the
goods made by machinery, to the
agricultural, cotton-raising South.
And the South threatened to
secede from the union, or at the
least, to force a low tariff on inn
ports, and buy it's goods in Eu-
rope, If the abolitionists were not
curbed.
Master Class Triumphant.
There were not many of these
abolitionists; but they were out
spoken, intense, and made them
selves heard ut all costs. They
paid a heavy price for this cour-

that Dolly was horse used by Mr..
Ellis for one week.
The case was contracted in the
year 1895 and was on the June docket
Of the civil court of that year. 1t was
defaulted for the amount of Sc md
costs of $t62 but vidently had never
been paid. Neither principal in the
case appeared. Harvey d. Eaton,
lawyer for the plaintiff took the stand
and the case was handled for him by
his son-in-law. A. Raymond Rogers.
Mr.. Eaton testified that Ellis had
come to him and told that he knew
nothing about the bill. AS this was
evidence that the bill had never been
paid Judge Atchley gave judgment
to the plaintiff. The defendent was
represented by Frank K. Shaw.
1t seems that after the case was
defaulted Mr.. Eaton filed the records
of the default away and short time
ago while looking over his file he
discovered that the Judgment had
never been paid.

government employees: on the fact
that women are at present being re-
tired on pensions ut an earlier age
than men. and that women require
more time than men for study and
raining.
From tho statistics. IT was tSimat-
cd that the average woman employe
between the ages of 25 to GO expert
enced 4l.9 per cent. more Illness than
the average man during the same pc
Rod of life. Studies of the amount
of work performed and the general
efficiency of the work also favor the
men. Another reason why men should
have larger salaries than women, ac-
cording to the committee. is that
women do not have to perform mill
tary service.
The reduction of women's salaries
which the committee recommends
vary from. to IA per cent. according
to the grade.
The women members of the inves-
tigating committee submitted a mi
nority report which was at variance
with the main recommendations.
