BIG BUSINESS" FAVORS
COMMUNISM

One of the most perplexing prob
lens of today is the attitude of So
called big business. By ''big business"
it is understood is meant those who
pose as captains" of industry.
Nearly all of those posing as such
decry the Investigations now going on
at Washington. Every "dollar-a- year"
patriot during the late war has his
ear to the ground, listening for the
rumble that will inform him of the
fact that some company or corpora
ton with which he is connected
shamefully robbed the government
(the people) in its time of stress and
peril. They fear that some of the
ill-gotten wealth will be called for
return to the people. Some of the
'dollar-a-year" 100 per cent "Amer-
leans" fear that the suffers" that

Everitt states that he shipped on

Everitt's affidavit follows:


II thereupon applied to the regular
United States shipping commissioner
who supplies all men for vessels 60
ing to the States and elsewhere with
men (seamen) for a chance on board
some American vessel in order to get
back to my native country, and he
said that he would not ship any Amer
lean seamen on any American ship
until all the Filipinos had been ship
ped out, or provided with jobs.
Myself and 20 other American sea-
men were then forced to apply to the
governor general of the PHILIPPINES is
lands, and we were sent as destitute
seamen on the United States trans
port, S. S. Thomas, on the oath of
March, 1924, arriving at San Francis
co, Cal, on April 21, 1924"
The Manila policy is Identical with
that announced by the United States
shipping board in 1921, when locked
out seamen asked the board to give
first preference to American seamen
and second preference to those set
men who have declared their inten-
tion of becoming American citizens.
The shipping board refused to
pledge itself to give preference to
American seamen. The private YES
sci owners joined with the shipping
board in refusing this pledge.
The men who have taken this
astounding position continue their
pleas for an American merchant ma
rine, while the governments vessels

Do they desire to install the boil

If so, then they shall carry on ir
the same manner they have for the

Slowly but surely the Community
Chest is filling. The goal is in sight
and nearly reached. But even if it
should fill up and run over, is no
reason why you shouldn't give,
brother, if you haven't already done
so. There is always plenty of good
use that money can be put to, espe-
cially through the many worthy agen-
cies to benefit from the chest. There
is never too much money, but often
too little. While the drive has prac-
tically closed, and perhaps you have
not been solicited nor approached with
request to give by those who have
made mighty effort to reach all
nevertheless, you should consider it a
duty to give to this worthy cause and
bring in your subscription. Remem.

| late to do good" and "better late thar
never" Those in charge will be only
| too glad to receive and accept your
contribution, large or small. Do i
now and feel good with yourself fo
having done SO.

sounds well, especially if one is past
his youth and is in retrospective
mood, but as matter of fact the good

Take the matter of hours of labor,
for example. The "old timers" know
that hours of labor were many in the

how long the workday was, in the
days before organized labor became a
power. 1t takes concrete example

LUCIAN KAHN, LEADER

AS in everything, leadership counts.
So it was in the Community Chest
drive about finished Lucian Kahn
was campaign chairman and his work
as leader of the workers in the drive
speaks for itself. He and his army
of workers started out to secure $780,
900 for the chest, and from present
indications they will reach their goal
or come so close to it that the deficit
will be nominal. Chairman Kahn has
shown that he is live wire in this
work, and Mr.. Kahn seems to have
the knack of instilling the enthusiasm
for work in others that brings re-
suits. Every talk that he made to
his co-workers seemed to shoot new
ginger and pep" into them until they
were ready to go out and fight, teeth
and toenail, for the cause they were
enlisted in. Right here and now, the

ceptfon by the Paris public yester-
day.
AT first the German rider was
greeted coolly as, somewhat ner-
Vous, he took the track in the face
of what he evidently was convinced
would be hostile demonstration.
The crowd, however, warmed up to
him as unmindful of several mis-
haps to his motor pace. he pluckilv
kept on riding and went after the
leaders in the race with a great show
Of courage. He was loudly cheered
when he finished third in a field of
six after it had appeared he was
hopeleSsly beaten.
The spectators then shattered ira
dition by calling upon Wittig to do
an extra lap for honor" something
which is generally reserved for VIC
tors in races that they may re-
ceiTc the plaudits of the crowd.
Wittfg obliged amid most friend
ly atmosphere. He was presented
with a bouquet just before he re-
turned to his dressing room The
German evidently was deeply moved
by the reception accorded him.
The race was won by Paul Suter
of Switzerland. who rode sixty-nine
kilometers, $50 meters in an hour.
