Clayton Lusk, Self
Made Red Batter,
Eats Some Lies

NEW YORK.-Clayton r. Lusk.
whose name is linked with a little
illegal affair at the Albany legisla-
ture and who obtained brief notori-
ETY. in this country as the hero who
saved US from r-r-red revolushun,
has elbowed himself into the lime
light again. But, alas, for good
old Clayton: during the elbowing,
he struck his funny bone. Also ours.
Clayton the Irrepressible, arose at
the legislature session yesterday to
prevent the appointment of Colonel
Frederick Greene as State Highway
Commissioner. Let it be recorded
parenthetically that since Clayton's
implication in a dubious silverware
adventure he is regarded as some
thing of a spokesman on affairs of
the-well, highway.
Clayton has outdone himself for
year in his denunciation of Colonel
Greene. As we mentioned, he arose
before the legislature yesterday. In
cidentally, he arose to devour large
mouthful of humble-pie.
Il wish to offer an apology for my
charge that Colonel Greene is men
tally dishonest .
Voice in the gallery: Glow can
you judge anyone who is mentally
anything?"
Il do not believe he is consciously
dishonest" continued Clayton, lusk-
lily.
There were a few more words to
this effect; the senate proceeded to
vote; and Colonel Greene's nominal
ton was confirmed without a dis
senting ballot.
1t is generally agreed in senator
ial circles at Albany that if you wish
a sure-fre way to be elected to any
thing, why, all you need is little
opposition from Clayton

Industrial Bank
In MoscouU Shows
Excellent Results

MOSCOW. Attention has been
drawn here to perfectly groundless
reports, that have appeared lately in
the foreign press, and, in particular,
in American papers, alleging that the
Industrial Bank had closed down in
view Of the would-be fifteen million
rouble deficit which it was supposed
to have incurred under the director
ship Of Krasnostchekoff (now under
trial.
With reference to these totally
false rumors, Mr.. Xandroff, the pres
ent chairman Of the board of directors
Of the Industrial Bank. states that
not only has the Bank had no deficit
during the last working year, but, in
spite Of the huge expenses involved
during this period by the organiza-
tion of as much as forty branches of
the Bank turnout all the Republics
of the Soviet Union--it has cleared a
net profit for the year of one mil
lion gold rubles.
The active operations Of the In
dustrial Bank totalled IS millions in
the current year, and the paid-up
capital of the Bank will soon be in
creased 10000.
The Bank, concludes its chairman,
keeps up correspondent relations with
largest banking institutions in all the
European capitals, and, far from
closing, it is energetically pursuing
its activities, with results that have
surpassed the expectations of its
founders.

to prepare for the celebration OF

most important of I'll is our frequent
and regular combining of children
Of all ages in special meetings, DEM
onstrations, recruiting work and
games. On such occasions the older
children look after the little ones
and the little ones initiate the older
ones.
Care is taken to prevent the chill
drens groups from becoming an ex-
elusive sect. We arrange regular
public meetings in order to maintain
contact with the masses Of working
class children. Children of different
schools and classes, and from diff
ferent localities, are assembled for
the joint discussion Of school affairs
or for excursions, dramatic perform
ances, play evenings and other occa-
sions.
II is not as difficult to begin with
this work as it is to continue it, per-
severingly and persistently. Since
our Junior Groups are not exclusive
clubs but remain in contact with dali
" practical life they become most
important factors in our movement.

Early in the summer we had an
acceptance of our demand for a con-

the Michigan Federation of Labor
passed a resolution demanding that
the A. F. of L. organize and educate
the working class youth. We expect
thru our efforts that other resolu-
tions will be carried in the near fu-
ture. In this work the Party MEM
bers can be of unlimited value. How
ever, our work must not stop at
passing resolutions. With over six
million workers under 20 years of
age, million of these being mere
children between 10 and Is, fertile
field lies before us. The work of
the Y. w. L. is to reach these mil
