The pyramid is drawn as a long,
narrow triangle, with the short base

Stock drew six lines across the
pyramid, at even distances apart. On
the bottom line he drew numerous
squares. Just above these squares he
placed a dot.

you are caught taking out one of the
girls under you, you are done for with
the Western Electric Company.
A large number OF these girls are
very willing to form alliances with
their superiors They use their sex
to get better work and to get more
money. 1t is absolutely necessary for
you to form barrier between your
self and the women under you.
Popped Up BY Straw Boss.
Stock, who was foolishly frank In
giving away the damnable system
whereby the girls are unsuspectingly
exploited by the numerous bosses,
then explained to me the system OF
promotion. He had no doubt, just at
tended pep-em-up meeting Of the
straw bosses, and he tried to convey
to me, altho ne did It in crude and
unskilled manner, the Western Elec'
trio spirit of loyalty, ambition, pep
success, hard work, and endeayor to
rise from the ranks.
Stock drew pyramid on sheet OF
Western Electric paper. 1t is a fam
Gus, spectacular pyramid, running the
entire length OF the page. The firsI
day Of my employment Stock talked
to me about the Company to which he
lis so loyal but about whose methods
he is so fooIishly frank, for a solid
hour and a half. While he talked he

TheY Showed the Farmer.

To the DAILY WORKER; In 1920
I was doing the educational work OF
the Farmer-Labor Party in the State
Of Washington, l went among the
wheat farmers, met with them, talked
to them and heard their stories.
On one occasion ! had delivered an
address in the court house, as / did
in various counties OF the state, and
was the talk OF the county seat--a
wheat town.
A group of men was standing in
front of bank. They were the spies,
sent out the night before to get the
news and reoprt to the banker. And
they had reoprted.
1--WE will show the old farmer his
place" said the banker, as passed by
the gang of capitalist dupes.
They have shown the farmer He
lives in IL western states. They have
put 100000 Of those farmers on the
road from the farm to the city. They
have literally turned the country up,
side down by revolution under the
direction Of the army OF capitalism.

an income of her own.
He has made little Jack equal ben
eficiary with his own two children
of the income of his estate, which
lis not to be divided until the death
Of his wife, when her third will be
distributed between any grandchild-
rem that may be living at the time.
Ten per cent of all net income is to
be distributed to charity each year.
l am telling you all this, my dear
Mrs. Atherton, because l want you
20 understand that under no circum-
stances could l have refused Mr..
Hamilton's request. First, of course
you know, am bound to him by not
only ties of friendship but l stand
in place of one of the sons he never
had. 1t was up to me to see that
his wife and daughters had the
share he wished them to have in the
the rewards of the work he has done
so we'll. On this account if for no
other reason have l accepted his
trust and will try to carry it on.
