the Canadian senate to reject bills
passed by the house Of commons.
In his reply to the deputation,
Premier King intimated that repeat
ed action by the senate in rejecting
bills passed by the popular cham
Der might strengthen the argument
for curbing the powers of the upper
house, which in Canada is appoint
i've. He had previously referred to
the bill to amend the industrial dis
putes act, which passed the COM
mons last session and was thrown
out by the senate. He announced
that this bill-the chief purpose Of
which was to prevent railway or
mining corporations from reducing
wages without hearing by a board
under the industrial disputes act
would be introduced again at the ses-
sion which opens Feb. 20.
King claimed credit from labor
for having appointed Tom Moore as
a representative of labor on the
board of the Canadian National rail
ways and for having arranged for
the payment of pensions to Grand
Trunk railway employees who took
part in the strike of 1910.

HERE'S STORY OF
"HAPPY HO NJ E"
HOUSE DRESSES
But the Happy Homes
Are State Prisons

Happy Home house dresses and
aprons. Buy Happy Home brandt
Yes, that's an ad-one that union
families should know something
about. Get the name, Happy Home.
You probably think this brand of
dresses was named by some senti-
mental employee who is long on ''wel-
fare" work for his employees and
longer on their individual rights"
under the open shop American plan.
You are wrong. Isadore Taradish
picked that name-Happy Home
and Isadore is no sentimentalist.
He's humorist. You wouldn't know
he is humorist because he DISCUSSES
himself as a mere business man,
president of the Sterling Co., Chi
cago. The clothing shops of this
funny man are unique in some re-
spects. For instance there are bars
at the windows.
One of his shops is in the Iowa
state refornatory at Anamosa. Four
hundred workers there, who have
somewhat less freedom than en-
ployes elsewhere, turn out from 1907
900 to 100000 garments for him
every month. He pays them on an
average of Sc a month. That is
deducted from $1,000 to $4,000 he
pays to the state, which acts as a
kind of assistant to the Sterling
Co. by feeding and sleeping the men
and excepting up production" Of
course he also has his own bosses
directly over the workers. The state
of Iowa considers the system great
financial success.
Mr.. Taradish feels that in his
system he has solved the labor prob
lem. He started his business" at
Anamosa two years ago when there
were five million workers unemployed
in America.
Tho full credit should be given
Taradish, as a humorist for that
name-Happy Home brand!-the
business credit should be divided be-
tween him and the vice president of
the company, Milton F. Goodman.
Goodman is better known as presi-
dent of the Reliance Manufacturing
Co., makers of mems shirts in va
rious Happy Homes commonly called
state penitentiaries.

Plan Farm Labor
Party in No. Oak,
at Feb. 9th Meet


FARGO, N. D.-The Convention Of
the Non-Partisan League to be held
in Bismarck, Feb. 6, will be the
scene Of a struggle between those
farmers and workers in the state of
North Dakota who are for indie
pendent political action as against
the policies Of the Non-Partisan
League.
At the Convention of the League
the motion for the formation of a
State Farmer-Labor Party was de-
feated by large vote, the conven-
ton being controlled by the old
Non-Partisan League machine. Since
that time the action of the State
Committee of the Republican Party,
which is dominated by the Non-Par-
tisan Leaguers, in indorsing the can
didacy Of President Coolidge has
brought forth widespread resentment
on the part of the farmers of the
state and strengthened the movement
for Independent political action.
In the last convention the fight for
the Farmer-Labor Party was led by
the members of the United Front
Educational League. This group has
now initiated a statewide campaign
for a decision in favor Of the organ
ization of q Farmer-Labor Party at
the Feb. 6 Convention of the Non
Partisan League and it is expected
that this campaign will bring to the
Convention majority OF delegates
favorable to the organization Of the
Farmer-Labor Party.
Should the League convention,
however, be under the control of the
old machine and continue its pres
ent policy, the group favoring indie
pendent political action will organ
ize at the Convention for the organ
ization of a Farmer-Labor Party.
From all appearances it is quite
certain that North Dakota will soon
be among the states represented by
a class Farmer-Labor Party on the
political field.

AS WE SEE 1T
By T. J. o'FLAHERTY.

The Chicago police department is
presented with a very serious prob
lem in the arrest of two prominent
detectives, one Of them a former
business manager of the local Will
liam j. Burns Detective Agency,
and the other a "shadower" for the
Pinkerton agency. There is no evil
dence against these fellows except
that they admit robbing wealthy
Chicago women of approximately
$4,000 in jewelry. Outside of thiI
they are all right.
Aiding them in their laudable
efforts to rise in the world were
some deputy bailiffs, who assisted
the dicks in getting rid Of the swag,
not of course wilfully aiding in the
commission Of crime. Oh no! They
were just trying to favor gentlemen
who were suppressing crime and
perhaps putting down revolution.
Are the wealthy women going to
prosecute the stoolpigeons and thus
destroy whatever shred of public
confidence is left in these human
vermin? Or will they grin and
bear their losses for the glory Of
Chicago and to help preserve the
good name of capitalist society?

Hell-and-Maria Dawes is in a hell
of fix over in Europe. He went
over there to show these lazy Euro
peans how real full-blooded Amer
lean could do a job that baffled the
best brains ON the continent since
the signing of the Versailles Treaty,
that is, to bring the capitalist sys-
TEN back to normally. Accompanied
by two bankers Dawes went to Paris
to show the Europeans some speed.
But instead of fighting with the
General" they took their golf sticks
and began to make holes around
Mr.. Dawes. This being the custom
in Europe he cannot make a diplo-
matte issue out Of It, so the only
weapon left to him is swearing. He
may swear them out of the golf
links but the prospects are none too
bright just now.
The press takes almost as much
pains to preserve the honor Of an
amorous clergyman as it does to
suppress the thieving activities of
detectives. DIR. c. D. Case, pastor of
the First Baptist church, Oak Park,
is accused Of tampering with the
affections of Mrs. Albert R. Leland,
one of the pillars Of his church.
According to Mr.. Leland, the pastor
was eminintly successful. But the
press and religious leaders are now
attempting to prove by brand of
science somewhat related to that
hawked around by Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle that the lady is suffering from
hallucinations and that her stories
of intimacies with the reverend cler-
gyman existed only in her imagina-
ton.

The MILK TRUST
Mum on Strike; Accept

The Jewish Daily Forward is the
Yiddish stronghold of yellow social
ism in America. 1t is the principal
purveyor of anti-Soviet lies in the
country. To its other crimes against
the working class, it has now added
that of strikebreaking. Before it had
finished fighting the Newsboys' Union
the milk strike broke. The Daily
Forward did not give a line to the
milk producers side Of the case, but
ran the following paid advertisement
from the Bowman Dairy Company, a
branch Of the Milk Trust:
"An Answer from the Bowman
Dairy Company"
"The Bowman Dairy Company is
ready to deliver, without interruption
or restriction, clean certified milk,
which has been approved by the
Board of Health. The Bowman
Dairy Company does not receive its
milk, from sources or districts, which
are not authorized or completely APP
proved by the health commission of
the City Of Chicago. The greater
part of our supplies comes from the
same places from which we formerly
received it. The partial restriction
from the old source was made good
with milk from other nearby places,
with milk which is just as good and
which has been approved by the
Health Commission. There is not
and will not be a scarcity of good
wholesome milk. Put out your bot
ties as customary and you will find
your milk as usual.

SPANISH WORKERS
LEARN UNITY NEED
UNDER FASCIST RULE

BARCELONA, Spain.-One of the
results of the increasing rigor of
the fascist military government in
its treatment of the labor movement
is a growing unity among the work.
ers. This is especially manifest in
Barcelona where a new daily has
appeared, "Lucha Obrera" (Workers'
STRUGGLED edited jointly by anarchist,
communists and syndicalists (union-
ists). Also the Catalonian socialists,
who have an autonomous regional
movement, are now advocating a
united front of all workers organi-
cations in their weekly, "Justica So
cial."
As an indication Of what the mill
tary directory in Spain has done to
the free press of Spain, the Russian
revolution anniversary number Of La
Batalla of Barcelona is eloquent
principally by its silence. Over four
pages in total, more than seven com
plete columns and various smaller
items have been blotted out by the
censor. Even the titles were wiped
out with the exception of the title Of
one article which read: Matters Of
Little Importance, and while that
heading was allowed TO stand, not
one word Of the article under it re-
mains.
Across the whole paper one may
read the big Legend: "This number
has been revised by the military CEN
sorship.v The paper, scheduled for
Nov. 2, bears the date line Nov. 90,
with the brief announcement: Delay
due TO the editorial force being in

BRITISH C.P.HAS
BASIC PROGRAM
FOR LABOR RULE
Suggests Minimum De-
mands to Up. Executive


LONDON.-That the Communist
Party Of Great Britain and the
very powerful minority of the Brit
ish labor movement for which it
speaks, the Scotch metal workers
and the Welsh coal miners being
an influential section, is determined
to see that major issues are not
lost sight of by Labor Party leaders
If it lies in its power to prevent
such an occurrence, is evidenced by
the text of the letter addressed to
Arthur Henderson, secretary of the
Labor Party by Arthur Inkpin on be-
half of the Central Executive of the
British Communist Party. The letter
makes certain very definite sugges-
tons as basis for a minimum pro-
gram to be carried out within the
framework of the Labor Party.
The text of letter follows:
Mr.. Arthur Henderson,
Secretary,
The Labor Party.
Dear MIR. Henderson: The Cen
trail Executive Committee of the
Communist Party wishes to ex-
press its very great satisfaction
at the success of the Labor Party
in the recent parliamentary cleo
tions. The seed sOwn by the piO-
neers of Socialism is now prOduc-
ing harvest rich with possibilities
for the working class. The Labor
Party has the honor Of gathering
in that harvest, but it also has the
very heavy and serious response
biities of stewardship.
In carrying out the obligations
this stewardship imposes on it,
there will be the ever increasing
opposition of the privileged classes
to contend against. The Central
Executive Committee of the Com
munist Party, recognizing this, de-
sires to place on record its willing
ness as a working class political
organization to assist the Labor
Party to the utmost of its ability.
We believe that the Labor Party,
in taking Office, If and when the
opportunity offers, can defeat ev-
cry intrigue of its opponents by a
straightforward declaration of poll
icy that will unite the whole work
ing-class movement in support of
Labor. Such declaration should
include:
/. Full trade union rates for the
unemployed against the time when
useful work will be provided;
2. Adoption of a national hous-
ing scheme, restoration of rent

It is generally agreed that the
CAPITALISTS need not fear anything
froi' the policies of Ramsay Mac
Dons Id. Several Lords are among
his most active supporters and ii is
frankly stated that the Labor Pa. ty
will stand less aggravation frcm
the radicals, than did the Toy
Party. The British Labor Party will
introduce measures that can be cas-
lily supported by the Liberal Party
and even by the Tories unless fac
tional politics will prevent their CO.
operation. In fact some people say
that the Labor Party is permitted to
form a government partly for the
reason that it is the only party in
England that has sufficient support
among the masses to warrant engage
ing in stern French policy.
British capitalists are thanking
their stars that they have not a
bunch Of communists on their hands
instead of Macdonald, Henderson,
Thomas and the rest. Those who
have puzzled over the difference be-
tween the communist and socialist
positions could follow the situation
in England to their interest and en-
lightenment. The socialists are re-
formers who believe they can grad
ually free the workers from wage
slavery thru reform measures
achieved within the framework of
capitalist government while the com

italist forms Of government and es-
tablishing the workers rule thru a
dictatorship Of the working class.
Mr.. John Bromley Of the British
Locomotive Engineers was lacking
in good form when he refused to
consider the embarrassment of Privy
Councillor, J. H. Thomas, as suffi-
cient reason for calling of the
threatened strike. How ridiculous
when Mr.. Macdonald was almost
succeeding i'm keeping the workers
and capitalists in line and convinc-
ing both that he could serve them.
Mr.. Bromley throws a real problem
into MacDonald's lap and the poor
fellow must show his hand. He will
have to show which side Of the fence
he really is on. We know he Is with

The Chicago Tribune is satisfied
that the United States government
is making laudable effort to tran

nighted country see the blessings Of
capitalist civilization. When the re-
cent revolt against Oregon first
