A Worthy Task

There is only one German publication, weekly,
the ArbeiterZeitung of Chicago, left in the land
that displays any sympathies for the Socialist
Party in this country, and for the SociaDe
cracy in Germany. And that sympathy seems to
have undergone considerable change since the re-
cent elections in Germany.
"If the loss of nearly half of the Socialist seats
is to be regretted" says the publication, there is
cause, on the other hand for rejoicing in the fact
that the loss benefited the Communists"
These are words of confession, indeed, from
source that has gained its inspiration these past
years from the Hilquits, Bergers and other bitter
anti -Communist socialists. The Arbeiter Zeitung
admits long trail of German socialist failure,
from the day the Kaiser was overthrown, in the
following words:
"One thing the election should teach the Ger
man workers and that is, not to repeat the mis-
takes made since the November revolution, of
1918; the mistake of compromise with the cap
italist class. We repeat what we have been teach
ing for decades, The liberation of the working
class can be achieved only by the working class
ITSELF"
Since even this socialist organ now admits,
what Communists have always contended during
the whole struggle of the German workers for
power, then there is excuse for the thinking
among the German workers of this country to re
main outside the ranks Of organized Communists.
They should Immediately get into the Workers
Party.
The best way for Americas German speak
ing workers to prevent the mistakes of the German
social-democracy being repeated in this country is
to completely repudiate the American Socialist
Party. The ArbeiterZeitung, if it believes in its
editorial expression, should join in the effort to
accomplish this worthy task. And the same rea-
soning applies to the outlook before the workers
of all other nationaities.

1t is not exaggerating to say that every conyen-
ton of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America turns some page in the history OF
the American labor movement. And every new
page has had some new, inspiriting story written
upon its surface.
Last year the Russian American Industrial Cor
poration was launched thru which "The Anal
gamated" organized its aid to the needle industry
in Soviet Russia. The achievements of the "R. A.
&c" during the past year, has been one of the big
Inspirations not only to the workers in the needle
trades but to the whole advance section of the
American labor movement.
It is to be hoped that such another new page and
such another encouraging story will be the out
come of the present convention of "The Amalga-
mated now meeting in Philadelphia
1T can be done thru the convention taking an un-
compromising and undivided stand for the Ma
tional Farmer-Labor Party Convention to be held
at st. Paul, Mimi, June 18th The value of send
ing delegates to St Paul would be greatly lessened
by also flirting with the nondescript gathering of
July 4th, at Cleveland, Ohio.
1t was in a recent issue of "The Advance" the
official organ of "The Amalgamated," that an
editorial appeared headed, GA Labor Party-Not
Third Party" The spirit of that editorial express
sion demands that "The Amalgamated" go to St.
Paul and not to Cleveland.
1t may be that "The Amalgamated" would be
the only large international union to go to St.
Paul. If this Develops then "The Amalgamated"
can only be proud of the pioneering work it is do
ing. Its delegates were at the July 3rd Confer
ence in Chicago last year, and the delegates to the
convention of "The Amalgamated," at Phiadel-
phia, must know that it is the forces, organized
at Chicago last year, that shouldering the big
struggle for class political party of the workers
and farmers of the United States
st. Paul will the gathering Of the labor party
forces The third party elements will go to Cleve-
land. ''The Amalgamated" is a class organization.
Its delegates must go to St Paul.

for instrumental solos, it contains bits
of music here and there, and the rest
is tuneless and foolish technical dis
play.
The Grieg piano concerto which fol
lowed is quite different. 1t is a big
and powerful work, conceived not as a
solo with orchestra accompaniment,
but as an integrated composition. in
which orchestra and piano play equal
ly important parts.
The second piano prize was award
ed for the best performance of a con
certo by XAVIER Scharwenka. The two
movements played by each contestant
contain in them the same sort OF
brilliant tunes that made Scharwenka
popular with his la Paloma."
Each singer sang a different oper
attic aria. Miss Durkee. the winner
sang the familiar "Kepnst Du das
Land" in Thomas "Mignon." The other
arias were from "The Prophet" by
Meyerbeer, and verdi's "The Favor
ite."
Judging a contest Of this kind is nc
easy job. So much wedding out has
occurred beforehand that the finaI
contestants are pretty evenly matched
The violinists and singers present diff
ferences in tone quality. which Tho
pianists do not, and all have differ
ences in Interpretation. There is gen
orally little difference in technica
ability shown. Judgment must be OF
the basis of tone, for violinists ant
vocalists, interpretation, and tha
scarcely dehneable quality known al
musicianship. The judges were Fred
erick Stock. Leopold Auer, Rudolph
CAM, and Herbert Witherspoon.

One By One They Fall

The British government is planning to turn he
old imperial Russian embassy in London over to
the Soviet Delegation. Vladimir Sablin, czarist
diplomat, has been allowed to maintain possession
for the seven years since the car fell, but the
changing order has now dspossessed him. He
must get out.
Thus the tentaeles of the old czarist regime are
clipped, one by one. Russian Soviet rule has
secured possession of similar embassies in Rome,
Berlin and other European capitols. One by one
the citades of the czarist reaction fall into the
hands of the Soviets. Where the agents of
Nicholas plotted foreign alliances with capitalist
powers, the Soviet representatives will now keep
open house for the workers and farmers in the
nations Of the oppressed.

Cheyenne To Be The
Headquarters for Air
Mail Route Salt Lake

OMAHA, NEBR., OCT. 24.-Use
of a new type of air mail plane, de-
cision to illuminate additional sec
tions of the transcontinental air mail
route, and inauguration of a divis-
ional route, were the outstanding
developments of a conference here
this morning, between Carl F. Egge,
general superintendent of the United
States air mail service, and division
superintendent.
Additional lighting facilities for
the routes across New Jersey from
New York City and across California
from San Francisco will be install
ed at once, the general superintend-
ent announced. Pilots are prohibited
from flying at night over unlighted
routes. Mr.. Egge explained. If dark
ness overtakes them before reaching
either New York or San Francisco
they are compelled to descend and
await daylight.
The new fourth division airmail
route decided upon includes a spar
from Cheyenne to- Salt Lake City
with headquarters at Cheyenne. This
is designed to relieve the western and
central divisions.
Mr.. Egge and his assistants today
announced that an invitation will be
sent to all manufacturers to submit
a plane. specially designed for all
mail flying, one of the requisites FOL
which will be greater speed.
There will be no change in the
air mail schedules for the coming
winter, Mr.. Egge said.

a Basket
Ball Schedule for
r. III. S. 1924-25

The tentative basketball schedule
for the Rawlins High School for
1924-25 has been made out and to
date Rawlins has six games schedul-
ed on the home floor with five games
on other floors. AS yet the games
with Laramie High School and Chey-
enne High have not been scheduled,
but will be in the near future. Also
there is a probability hat several
other games will be scheduled.
The games on the home floor are:
December 18th with Lyman; January
9th, Kemmerer; January 20, Hanna;
February 18th, Rock Springs; Feb.
18th with SUPERIOR; February 81,

Hanna; January 14th, Rock Springs;
January 18th, Green River; January
10th, Kemmerer; January 18th Su-
perior.
This season the Rawlins High
School has the possibilities of one of
the best basket ball teams in the
past few years and there is no doubt
but hat they will make the other
teams in the state go some to get
this years tournament. 1t is rather
early in the season to be getting a
team lined up, however, the coach
is planning on getting an early start
so that the team nay be in good
form when the first game is played.
1t is hoped that when the tourna-
ment opens the Rawlins team can
go to Laramie without a defeat
checked up against it.
The rules for this year are as fol-
lows: When the above dates have
been confirmed by the respective
schools, games will be forfeited If not
played unless cancellation is by mu-
tual consent. If an ineligible player
is played by any school, hat school
will be barred from further games
within the district during the cur
rent year. All games in which an
ineligible player has participated
will be forfeited to opposing team.

The old plainsman says that he
is II years old, but has not a gray

few days has been feeling as hardy
as he was when he was 40 years old.
When he arrived in this city he was
a bit under the weather so was sent
to the hospital for treatment.
He has travelled across the CONT
nent nine times, sometimes on foot,
and at other times using a horse or
a mule. During the past 20 years
he has been in Washington, d. c., to
attend every inauguration of a pres
ident in that time.
Enroute to Rawlins he stopped at
Bridger, Wyoming, and there review

ton with the pony express of the
early days. 1t was at Bidger that
the Colonel met up with the Coolidge

Dear Sir:
We nave arranged a our covering
eight western states to the coast,
leaving C~offeyville, Dec. Sth, touring
Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah,
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and
California.
We are scheduled in California
during the entire month of February,
would like to book another exhibition
with the Rawlins High School team,
dates of Dec. 20, 80, 81.
You no doubt have recollection of
the fine games we had with the Raw
Inns team last year as well as Parco
and Cheyenne, and Rock Springs
and we are bringing the same team
this year.
We enjoyed our games at Rawlins
last year and we would like to book
this city again, as we are practically
booked at Parco again, also at Chey-
enne, Hanna, Rock Springs, and
Evanston en- route to Salt Lake City.
We are sure another exhibition
will be a wonderful drawing card
and we will appreciate it if you will
give us a few lines relative to our
trip and wish to stop at Rawlins.
Thanking you for this favor, l
remain,
Yours very truly,

LONDON POWER

Tie UP SUBWAYS
Labor Takers Scabbing
as Usual

LONDON, June H. Several hun
dred employees Of the subway returned
to work, tho the power house work
ers are still out. The subway lines
are almost completely disorganized
for lack of power. The strike has
played havoc with the Rritish Empire
Exposition at Wembly, which is
white elephant on the hands of its
members.
The strikers are declared outlaws
by the reactionary trade union lead
ers. But the masses are gradually
deserving the fake leaders and ignor-
ing their threats Of accommodation
The National Union of Railwaymen
Of which J. H. Thomas was president
is fighting the strike. The Ministry
of Labor looks on the strike as illegal
and refuses to bring any pressure to
bear on the companies. 1t, however,
rescinded its earlier decision to run
the railways for the companies. This,
it feared, would mean the beginning
of the end for the so-called labor gov
eminent.
The electrical workers union and
the vehicle builders have officially rec
ognized the strike. The capitalist pa
pers continue to brand the strike COM
mittee as Communist inspired, but
this kind of talk hurts the Commun-
list Party least, as the workers are
realizing the Communists are the only
political element that is seriously in
earnest in conducting the fight for
better conditions, more wages and
eventual freedom from capitalist ex-
ploitation.
