Today is Boys Day in entertain
ment and athletics. For 1854 days in
the year the children of Chicago must
play in the dirty lots and today they
must do the same. They are forced
to play in the cutters and the filthy
dumping grounds while the children
of the rich play tennis, baseball and
other sports on grounds which are
well laid out.
Boys Week is another means of
making slaves of the young masses
by making them feel important
Among the founders of Boys Week
there is not one representative of the
working class. All the directors of
this movement are either brankers,
old party politicians or big Industrial
lists, who only care for the develop
ment of their own children and do not
give a ripple of worry for the chill
dren of the class that works. The
capitalists make it necessary for even
the child to go to the factory in order
to have a mere right to exist.

These bankers and big industrialists
want to fool the children, that they
are getting freedom out OF their cap.

The only freedom that the children
of the working class will get is when
the workers themselves will rule and
govern this country. Every boy a
