HEARSE CALLED
FOR CALIFORNIA
SOCIALIST PARTY
Hy J. g. REED

OAKLAND, Cal, Oct. 81. = Class
collaboration has eaten so deeply in
to the vitals of the socialist party of
this state that its bones are beginning
to fall apart for want Of flesh and
muscles to hold them together.
For twenty years now this party
has maintained a headquarters and
published paper in this city. Today
sees the passing of it's headquarters
in Oakland and the removal of what
is left of 1.-THE World" to a two-by

AS long as the socialist party main
tanned a semblance of workingclass
character 1t was able to hold together,
but when that party consented to be-
come the tail-end of the LaFollette
kite, the party split wide open. The
Johnson-B eals-Katz-Serb crowd bolted
the party leaving it to the Cameron
King-Hoar element.
Today in all this state the socialist
party does not maintain one perman-
ent headquarters, nor does it hold reg.
ular propaganda meetings. And what
a comedown this is when in 1919 this
state boosted of party locals in all
principal cities. San Francisco, Oak
land, and Los Angeles had member
ships around 500 each. Such places
as Eureka, Fort Bragg, San Jose,
Sacramento, and Fresno maintained
headquarters and thriving locals. To
day not one Of these can speak OF
anything but paper membership.
At that time the socialist weekly,
"The World" was publishing around

All worlkingclass organizations that

Fisher was subjected to a severe

to the controversy over the balloting
in the disputed M. T. w. U. case,
which was investigated by Fisher, a
delegate said: Didn't tell you that

DUT thanks to ethe International
- Workers Aid, the workers are not
entirely dependent on the capitalist
movies. I have seen pictures shown
by this organization that compare IA
vorably from the artistic and mechan-
zeal point Of view with anything pro-
duced by the rich capitalist con-
Germs. But the real delight in see
ing the pictures shown by the l. w. A.
is in their splendid education and in
spirational value. Besides the films of
Russian scenes there are fiction films
like "The Beauty and the Bolshetik"
which is nice story woven around
the love affair Of a red soldier. An
opportunity is offered working class
organizations TO have showings of
those pictures in their localities at
very low cost. Comrade William
Kruse is in charge of this very essen
tial arm Of the working class move
ment, and those who desire to have
those pictures shown in their neigh
borhood can get all the necessary in

origin of the white tribe lies in
more or less tradition-that the an

hair, and rudy, 'freckled skin.
The white Indians have names for
each of the five species of monkeys

and for the different plants, but for
objects with which they are not
famaliar they have only ono name.
AS an example, DR.. Harrington said,
there is only one word for paper,

the white Indians recently dis
covered in Panama by r. o. Marsh,

of the Smithsonian Institution, today

The scientists were equipped with a
phonograph and a kymograph, an in
strument which records the exact
length of the consonant and vowel
sounds on smoked paper. In addition,
they had species of insects and plant
life from Panama, and from time to
time it is planned to make trips to
the Smithsonian to inspect animals
there-this for the purpose of getting
the names of the subjects in the
Indians native language.

AS far as DR.. Harrington can learn,
there is no connection between the
language spoken by the White In
