Convention. You will note that this
call reads:
1--WE extend an invitation to send
delegates to this convention to all
farmer organizations, local unions,
central labor bodies, state declarations
Of labor, international unions, coop
erative organizations, labor fraternal
organizations and all farmer and Ia
Dor political organizations ;"
The call further provides that leach
national organization shall be entitled
to five votes"
This invitation which has been
broadcasted thru the labor press of
the country, am sure, is broad
enough to include the Socialist Party.
Fraternally yours,
c. e. Ruthenberg,
Executive Secretary.
We are very happy, indeed, that the
Central Executive Committee of the
Workers Party was inspired to send
the open letter to the National Execu-
tive Committee of the Socialist Party.

spiration on the part of the Central
Executive Committee of our Party,
the Socialist Party would have re-
manned in complete ignorance Of the
class movement Of farmers and work
ers which is expressing itself in the
June 18th Convention, altho the call
for the June 18th Convention has been
printed in labor papers all over the
country and has been commented
upon by even most of the capitalist
newspapers.
1t is curious, indeed, that under
these circumstances a Party such as
the Socialist Party which claims to
be a party Of the working class
should have remained in complete ig-
norance Of the character of the June
18th mass movement Of farmers and
workers.

LABOR CRUC|F|ED
BETWEEN z old
BOSS PARTIES
But Labor Takers Have
Lots OF Patience
tey rhe Federated Pressl

NEW YORK, May 20.-How is labor
in picking one of the old political
parties to reward its friends and pun
ish its enemies when both republi.
cans and democrats turn out to be
enemies? This riddle presented itself
to persons listening to the report on
the New York state legislature
given by Secretary-Treasurer John M
O'Hanlon, state federation of labor, to
the New York City Central Trades
and Labor council.
The republican assembly defeated
four of labor's bills and helped kill a
fifth, while the democratic senate de.
feated the measure prohibiting use OF
injunctions in labor disputes prior to
jury trial, O'Hanlon explained. The
republican speaker of the assembly
promised support for the eight-houI
bill for women, and then called a
caucus to kill the bill. The anti-in
junction measure was endorsed by the
democratic state platform and the
democratic governor, but the demo
Gratis defeated it.
Other planks in labor's program as
enumerated by O'Hanlon are legaliza
ton of light wines and beer, restora
ton of direct primaries for state off
GERS and U. S. senators, repeal OF
movie censorship, opposition to en-
forced incorporation of unions, in
surance fund for workmen's compen
sation, state and municipal develop
ment of light, heat and power, restor
alton of original penalty stopping pay
ments on contracts if eight-hour law
is violated, and inclusion in anti
monopoly law of declaration that la
Dor is not commodity.
Retraction from Mayor Hylan was
demanded by the meeting for his
statement that labor officials asking
union scale for city employees are
highwaymen. The recent 10 per cent
increase in rates by the. New York
Telephone company was condemned
in another resolution.

IN reply to the open letter addressed

trail Executive Committee of the
Workers Party, demanding that the
Socialist Party sever its connection
with the Conference for Progressive
Political Action which is still in the
business Of endorsing old Party can

1909 N. State ST., Chicago, Ill.
Dear Comrades:
This will acknowledge receipt OF
your communication of May 10, adj
dressed to the National Executive
Committee Of the Socialist Party, in
which you demand the immediate
withdrawal OF the Socialist Party
from the, Conference for Progressive
Political Action, to which the So.
cialist Party is affiliated, and its par
ticipation in a convention which has
been called to meet in st. Paul, Mimi,
on June 18th, for the announced pur-
pose of forming an alignment of
farmers and workers for the coming
campaign.
While the National Office of the So
cialist Party has had indirect infor-
nation of the st. Paul convention, it
has had no official communication
whatever respecting it.
In order to decide fairly whether
the convention at st. Paul offers more
to truly revolutionary, class con-
scious political party of the working
class than the Conference for Prog

kindly send this office copies of the
platform and program upon which the
call was issued for submission to our
executive?
For the information Of our COM
mittee, may we ask if you have the
authority to invite our participation,
and, if so, is the letter which you
have submitted to be considered as
formal invitation? 1t has been our
understanding that the invitations to
the st. Paul convention were issued
some time ago, and it is hardly pos
sible that the time yet remaining be-
fore June 18th will permit the cleo.
ton of delegates should the Ma.
tional Executive Committee obey your
rather imperious command.

More Balkan Barking.

MOSCOW, May 2O.-The Yugo-
Slavian press is indignant at the fact
that the Roumanians pillaged two
small towns which we're to be handed
over to Yugo-Slavia prior to evacu-
ating them. The press advances that
the government take strong measures
and do not turn over to Roumania
those localities which should be
turned over according to the treaty,
before Roumania compensates for the
losses and settles the frontier ques-
tions.
1t is reported that the Yugo-Slavian
government will address a strong
note of protest to the Roumanian gov
eminent.

BUCHAREST, Roumania, April 10.
--(By mail)-While patriotic" de-
monstrations were staged in Bessa-
rabia and in other parts of occupied
territory, at the same time the rich
landowners government of Bratianu
proclaimed a state of seige in Bucha-
rest, Chernovitz, Kluye, and Jassy.
After mass raids the political police
discovered that the Communist Party
Of Roumania is in close contact with
Soviet Russia and is therefore, guilty
of treason" The editors of the Com
munist paper of Bucharest and the pa
per of the Madjar workers of Semi
grad, "Munkach," will be court-mar-
tailed. The party attempted to issue
another paper, but the editors as well
as the compositors have been arrest
ed.
At first the government prohibited
the use of mails to the Communist
press and the sale Of the papers in
the streets, but with the declaration
of state of seige the government
decided to destroy the labor press
altogether. At the same time the mill
tary prosecutor closed up the offices
of the trade unions.
All Suspected Deported.
The terrorism of the government
takes on different forms. In Semi
grad, Temeshware, and Brassove
mass arrests are going on among the
civilian population as well as among
the soldiers. The usual accusation is
Espionage" The capitalist press of
Bucharest is accusing every foreign
err of being a spy, and is demanding
that all ''foreigners''-i e., all those
who are not Roumanians by birth, and
there are at present 100000 of such
out of the $4,000, 900 population within
the borders of the Greater Rou-
MANIA" shall be expelled from gov
eminent and civil Offices, and shall be
denied such rights that are still en-
joyed by the Roumanians. Many such
foreigners" who have been born and
lived all their lives in the territory
now occupied by the Roumanians,
are being arrested and deported
abroad. Not only workers are the vic
tins of these deportations, but also
small business people, intellectuals,
etc. Everyone who is suspected of
being unfriendly to the conquerors is
liable to be arrested and deported.
At the same time the government
press agents are widely advertising
abroad the patriotic" manifestations
carefully staged with the aid Of stool
pigeons. the political policy and small
bands of Fascist.

SAGE TEA TURNS

It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
pt1ur enhances its appearance a huns
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the nixturei
you can get this famous old recipe im-
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents at small cost, all ready for use.
1t is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound This can always be de-
pended upon to bring back the natural
color and lustre of your hair.
Everybody asses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another applica-
tioa it becons2 beautifully dark and
appears glossy and ltistrous.
