Those Scratches

My dear Miss Lee: I~have been read
ing your help to people. Oh. please do
not fail me; help me to overcome my
/. I am 81 and ~have been married
about eighteen months. My husband and
! have worked so hard for our furniture
little by little. are being ruined. My hus-
band has two sisters, with six children
in the two families. The children are
very unruy. Their parents do not seem
and let them do as they please. I never
say anything. as 1 think 1t Is my hus-
bands place to do so.
2. When we have company. as we are
Just starting to entertain a little. these
relatives come in and take up the time
with their CAB and II is so boresome,
especially If II is about their family af-
fairs I cry when I am alone as I know
my young friends will cesae to come.
LONGING FOR HELP.
I. Your troubles are so petty, COM
pared with those OF many women
who write to me, that I cannot but
tell you that you are wasting a lot
OF worry on things that don't mat
ter In the long run.
Some day you will have children
Of your own, and your furniture will
show the marks OF their playing But
you won't care. because these marks
will bear witness to their happiness.
OF course. there are limits, and
your sisters-in-law should realize
your pride in your new furnishings.
You and your husband tell them so.
No, it's not your husbands place
alone. because no man can realize
the pride a woman takes in her
home.
.. A good hostess IS able to enter
tain bores and brilliant people at
the same time. without spelling her
party. You must learn this secret.
Steer the conversation away from
family topics. and. when the group
is large enough. split it up and put
congenial people together.

EMPLOYERS ASK
CONSTITUTIONAL
GIVEN DUE HONOR
Week of Sept, 1920 Set
Aside for Anniversary
Observance,

Urging observance of Constitution
Week, Sept. 1920, the Associated
Employers Of indianapolis, through
A. J. Allen, secretary. today sent out
letters to 100 Indianapolis civic
bodies and 1900 employers.
The letter:
"Wednesday, Sept. II. will be the
137th birthday of the Federal Con-
stitution. In view of the radical at
tempts being made in the present po-
litical campaign to tear down and
destroy the fundamental constitu'
tional guarantees of American citi-
zenship, it is especially imperative
this year that in the patriotic OBJ
servance of Constitution Week, Sept.
IA to 20, industrial and business in
situations should participate in the
ceremonies as we'll as schools, col
leges, churches, fraternal and pa
triotic societies, civic and business
organizations, newspapers, etc.
Suggestions Available
1.-The greatest event in American
history was the signing Of the
United States Constitution Sept. II
1887, and employers of labor should
arrange during said week appropri
ate programs for their employees on
company time in office, factory and
store, or otherwise plan to convey
group impression of the meaning of
the Constitution. Suggestions for
such programs and ceremonies may
be obtained upon request from the
Constitution Anniversary Associa-
ton, % E. Jackson Blvd, Chicago.
THE United States has heretofore
enjoyed world prestige because un-
der it's Constitution no recognition
was given clans and classes. If
America is finally to become clan
nish, then the Nations responsible
and representative citizens should
clan together to obliterate the com
munistic radicalism that threatens tc
destroy this country, rather than 10
tolerate and condone clannish spirit
and declarations founded upon un
American precepts OF religious, so
cial and racial discrimination and
persecution Of responsible citizens.
Chaos Recalled
Attacks on the Federal Constitu
ton recall that chaos and discomfort
reigned supreme during the inter
vening years between the adoption
OF the Declaration Of independence
and the signing Of the Constitution
Money was worthless; credit was
cast TO the four winds; trade Ian
guished; commerce was dead; inter
nal improvements were at a stand
stiu. Discord, disunion, dlshonor
and despair threatened the Colonists
on every hand. Then came the Con
stitution. and in few years the
American people startled the world
with matchless achievements.
Shall this country continue TO en-
joy peaceful progress and develop
ment or shall the Nation return tC
the demoralizing and disastrous con
ditions Of pre-constitution days
This Is the big question today and
the solution rests in the hands OF
every patriotic American citizen"

Coolidge and the Negroes

firmly believe that it Is better for all con-
eerned that they (the Negroes) should be pro-
tected from all those mpostons to which, from
their position they naturally fall prey, especially
from the crime Of Iynchno, and that they should
receive every encouragement to become full
partakers in all the blessings Of our common Amer
lean citizenship.
From the Coolidge message.
If the above strikes you as a rather meager and
conservative statement with which to dismiss H.
100000 people and their problems, please remem-
Der that about 80 per cent of Negroes are workers
and that Coolidge represents the BLACKLIST section
of the American capitalism. Many Negroes voted
for Coolidge and this is their reward-he thinks
that they should not be lynched and calls it an
imposition" He is doubtless in favor Negroes
who make trouble for white landowners and CAPT
talists, being hung after a 'fair" trial This
method is in accord with the best standards of
New England civilization and is not subject to so
much criticism from liberals.
As to how lynching is to be stopped he has
nothing to~say and the sadistic slayers of Negro
workers and farmers can return to their degener-
ate pastime without any qualms, confident that
President Coolidge will not move to interfere with
what he doubtless believes is an inevitable accom-
paniment of the progress of the Negro race toward
becoming full partakers in all the blessings of our
common American citizenship"
Coolidge will probably demonstrate his belief in
this common citizenship" by appointing a Negro
postmaster in some stronghold of the southern
aristocracy and the southern aristocracy win
demonstrate their belief in the president by
lynching the new incumbent-as has happened
more than once in the sunny south.
Then there will be hypocritical expressions of
regret from the cool Calvin, but nothing will be
done until, under the leadership of the Workers
(Communist) Party, the Negroes recognize the
class basis of their struggle organize and with the
rest of the working class, abolish all Glass; ma
tional and racial distinctions

The Economy of StrikebreGking

Strikebreaker President Coolidge has made
special plea for economy in running the biggest
and most powerful strikebreaking agency in the
world-the United States government.
Since the outbreak of the world war the prob
lem of the rapidly mounting costs of government
has been disturbing the ruling class of every CAPT
talist country. On the one hand, the capitalists
are compelled to maintain a huge strikebreaking
apparatus in order to crush the workers at home
and in order to maintain their areas of exploita-
ton abroad On the other hand, the cost of upkeep
in this laborcrushBg affair is assuming staggering
proportions Politically, the ruling capitalist class
must strengthen its governmental machinery in
order to maintain its power. Economically, the
deeply disturbed capitalist economy is less and less
able to bear such huge burdens.
The Coolidge message proposes to make reduc
ton in re cost of the operation of the government
Under the guise of economy the ickspittles of the
exploiters have time and again struck dangerous
blows at the working masses. We recall how Cool
idge, now yelling for economy, vetoed an increase
IN the pay of the miserably exploited postal EN-
ployes.
The government never stops to talk Of economy
when the question of strikebreaking is involved
Even in this very message on economy that Cool
idge has just proposed we find certain very in
eresting evidence about the real character Of the
uchheralded savings that to be made. We
notice for instance. that the 1926 budget proposes
IN Increase Of ten per cent in the appropriations
for the department of justice. Every workingman
knows what the department Of justice bushes itself
with. Every railway worker, miner, and textile
worker well recalls the thousands of federal
marshals sent against them during their 1922
strikes. The Daugherty and the hundreds Of lesser
iniunctions still vivid in the minds of millions
Of workers in the United States.
What Coolidge is after is to have as efficient
and as deadly strikebreaking machine as possible
and to run it at the lowest cost to the exploiters,
to the bosses whom IL serves.

Anthracite Miners Rebel

Confirming our prediction made few days ago.
John L. Lewis has revoked charters of eleven locals
in the anthracite district.
We stated that charters would be revoked
wherever there exists dissatisfaction with the boss
favoring agreements negotiated by Lewis in order
that the rebelious coal diggers be prevented from
voting against the Lewis machine. The facts speak
for themselves.
Eleven thousand miners are on strike in the
anthracite fields against the constant violation of
the agreement, violation which is tacitly approved
by Lewis and his henchman Cappellini. The miners
get no support from the administration in these
protests but are told to get back on the job and
wait for settlement that never comes.
1t is reported that 1900 more miners are pre-
pairing to leave the pits in a few days and this
represents, with those already strike, more than
onefth of the entire membership in these districts
Last year organizers of the Labor Defense Coun-
ell and of the Progressive Miners Committee were
mobbed at the convention of District after Lewis
had organized demonstration against them. Cap
pellini had just been elected and had promised
great things for the miners. The extent of his
treachery was not known at the time .N
Today, every word of criticism of Oficialdom of
the district and international oficialdom uttered
by the Progressive Miners Committee has been
justified a thousand times over and the revoExing
of eleven charters is the best evidence that the
sentiment ofthe miners has changed
We venture to say that organizers for the left
wing viii be welcomed with open arms by the

have established control-not fashions of clothes,
but fashions in methods of dealing with workers
who by demanding better wages better working
conditions and more power in government, inter
fere with the golden stream of dividends that flows
into the treasure vaults of the American ruling
class.
The recent increase in wages to the engineers
and tiremen's brotherhoods are an example of the
use to which portion of the colonial plumber is put
lit is used to bride the upper strata of the work
ing class which occupies strategic points in in
dustry--to keep them more or less satisfied and
quiescent, separated from the larger lower paid
section of the workers.
Imperialism the acquisition of fields of exploita-
ton where immense quantities of commodities
are produced by low paid workers, is thus today a
great buwark of capitalism 1t necessitates on the
part of the working masses in imperialist nations
like the United States constant struggle against
its every manifestation. No better method of COM
batting it has been devised that the alliance be-
tween the oppressed colonial masses and the Amer
lean working class for which the Workers (Com-
munist) Party of America stands.

reaction and to the striking sugar workers the

and pledge of solidarity in all their struggles.

Cheap Votes

The Coolidge economy concert, broadcast by
every capitalist sheet, is shining example of the
bunk which is the basis of all such campaigns We
say very frankly that we are not interested in CAPT
talist government economy. 1t matters not one
tinkers dam to us how the taxes are disbursed ex-
cept that like to see as much waste as possible
as proof of the alaround ineficiency Of the CAPT
talist system.
We are seldom disappointed.
We are sure always that the great bulk of the
appropriations will be spent for past and future
wars and for special means Of curbing the workers
march towards freedom.
But when president makes an economy cam
paign one Of the central planks Of his platform,
and the gullible middle class yelps approvingly,
we like to look at the cold figures.
We did. This is what we found:
The 1925 estimates of the Coolidge admnistra-
ton call for approximately $59OOO,0OO less than
last year.
This is just about 80 cents per year for every
person in the United States Truly wonderful
accomplishment Mr
This is pretty cheap price for votes of "frec
born American citizens" but then Coolidge stands
for economy"
