Minor HOLDS
MANY MEETINGS
IN MILWAUKEE,
Workers Learn Tactics
for Labor Movement

MILWAUKEE,. Wis. May as Re
bells of almost all shades Of opinion
had the opportunity to hear Robert
Minor, editor Of the LIBERATOR, and
well-known revolutionar y writer,
speaker, and cartoonist, discuss the
part the various workers groups must
play in the crisis Of today and tomor-
row.
Negro Workers Interested.
Lovett Fort Whiteman and Minor
addressed a large meeting of negro
and white workers on the subject of
the American negro and his relation
to the American labor movement.
Minor emphasized that the workers Of
the two races must unite in the fight
against the common enemy. He said
that the negro is branded as prole-
tartan by the very fact of his skins
color and that discrimination against
the negro was chiefly due to his class
position as a worker.
The negroes were urged to join or
kQnAACQ AdDOl anu W III AOL blC LIB III
to belong to unions where discrimina-
ton against them exists. Minor re-
iterated that the Communists are
lighting in the unions to do away with
the intolerable division by race.
Join Workers Party.
Whiteman urged the members Of
his race to join the Workers Party.
He brilliantly outlined the necessity
of such action by the negroes and
gave a clear exposition of the Work
ers Party program which was well re-
ceived.
Minor spoke to two Junior Schools
of the Young Workers League, and
then addressed the Hungarian branch
of the Workers Party. urging them to
send delegates to the Farmer-Labor
convention in st. Paul, June II. The
organization promised to give moral
and financial support to the Farmer
Labor movement and adopted plans
to send a delegate to st. Paul.
S. L. P. and !. w. w. Hear.
At the Socialist Labor Party state
convention, Minor called upon that
group to adopt united front tactics.
He asked the members to study the
lessons Of the Russian Revolution and
pointed out that the revolutionist
must work within the reactionary
trade unions.
Minor spoke to the Industrial Work
ers Of the world meeting on the role
of, the political party in relation to
.Ai.eir organization. He analysed the
Russian Revolution carefully and
pointed out the tactics Of the revolu-
tionary movement from that historic
experience.

Gompers Asks Labor
Voters To Give Cap
Parties Even Break

WASHIN TON, May 28.- The
American Federation Of Labor will
make a big drive to nominate mem
bers from its own ranks for the vice
presidency in the coming elections, ac-
cording to a statement issued here by
Samuel, Gompers. Gompers did not
say that it made any difference which
capitalist ticket the labor aspirants
should be hitched to. Labor in that
worthy's opinion, should maintain the
sacred principle of non-partisanship to
the last ditch, and therefore, bestow
its favors irnpartiallyl on Republicans
and Democrats alike.
Gompers hopes by using this tactic,
a sufficient number Of labor leaders,
listed as progressives, will be bitten
by by the vice-presidential bug, which
may induce them to lay off even fiirt-
ing with Third Party and devote
their energies to getting job pushing
either. one or the other of the broken
down capitalist political bandwagons
up the hill toward the summit of vic
tory.
Already two notorious strikebreak-
ers, George L. Berry, and John L.
Lewis, have thrown their pocket
books into the ring, one for the Demo
Gratis, the other for the Republicans
The rank and file, however, are look
ing toward st. Paul.

vile towns. Laborers signed con-
tract at 81 cents an hour and with
the closed shop.

"Aliens have played great part in

of the Is defendants were workers in

But White said nothing about the
fact that the exclusion amendment he
mentions was enacted after the con-
victions Of the l.. w. w. defendants,
and thus is a clear violation of arti-

with England. Russians rather
doubt the ability of the English
labor government, even with the
best will, to put thru any sub
stantial assistance to Russia
against the will of the English
bankers.
Building Without Foreign Help.
Such is the comment one hears. not
from government oficials, but from
workers letters to the press, which
are copiously published, and from
general discussions among lesser Off
Gals and in workers groups. There
is absolutely none of the glow Of hope
that preceded Genoa in 1922 There is
rather brief comment: How won
derfully we could put things on their
feet with half billion dollars worth
of goods"-and then a turning to the
harder ways and means of building
from within.
Soft LIvers Expelled.
The cleaning Of the party is one Of
the methods of internal building. 1t
is very drastic A central commission
takes up one factory group of Com
munists after another, investigates
their manner of living and acting,
hears complaints from all sources, and
ruthlessly cleans out of the party
those who are living like bour-
geoisie," "associating too much with
profteers," acting in a dictatorial and
uncomradely way in dealing with the
workers under Them" or doing any of
the other things that may injure the
morale of the Communist party in its
program of building Russia towards a
Communist state.
Many Expelled.
Many high and well-known Commun-
lists of long standing have been thus
expelled and many more of the petty
officials, who have been exalting them
selves in red tape at the expense of
efficiency. Some of the economic de-
partments, connected with state in
dustry, were announced to be espe-
cially bad in having Communists who
were seeking personal advancement
and Injuries.
In the party conference one of the
main problems is the trade crisis. In
dustry is producing better, but the
gap between price and purchasing
power is still high. While the gov
eminent has turned it main attention
to production and wholesale exchange,
the private traders have been captur-
ing the retail trade. This is not so
important, since it gives no control Of
basic resources, but it puts the price
fixing power partly in their hands.
Hence sacrifices made by workers in
industry for the sake of giving cheap
goods to the peasants and thus build
ing up agriculture, are thwarted by
the high profits of these small middle
men.

ed frequently to remove decayed ones.
The commercial practice of wrapping
oranges, apples and other fruits, and
sometimes choice vegetables, in sepa-
rate papers is in some cases worth fol-
lowing in the home. The wrappers
prevent the fruits from bruising each
other, and also keep the skins from
touching and so offering a favorable
place for the growth of molds. Soft
fruits, such as berries, peaches, plums
and pears should, if possible, be spread
out on clean wrapping paper or in
shallow pans or platters rather than
kept in deep receptacleS.
Wash Thoroughly.
All vegetables and fruits, especially
those to be eaten raw, should be thor
oughly washed before use as a protec-
ton to health as we'll as for the sake
of general cleanliness. The loss of
flavor and texture is very slight, even
in such thin-sklnned fruits as straw
berries, provided they are not allowed
to stand in the water and are drained
thoroughly, and lettuce and other salad
plants are made criSper and more at
tractive. Lifting them from the wa
ter rather than draining 1t off Is an
effective way of freeing these foods

CONFUSION MAKES
IRONING DAY HARD
Methodicdl Woman Puts
Kitchen in Order.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
Without realizing it one may be
tired by disordered and confused sur
roundings, whether at work or not.
For the same reason one may get
through a relatively long hard task
without undue fatigue If it is per-
formed under pleasant, orderly con-
ditions. This is particularly true of
Ironing, which is one of the longest
tasks in the weeks routine. One
woman may attempt to iron in an at
mosphere of confusion, with unwashed
dishes nearby, coats or other Out-of-
doors clothing thrown over a chair,
food standing about and childrens
playthings under. her feet; time is
lost making room among collections
of untidy articles on the table or tubs.
Another woman waits to put her
kitchen in order before starting to
iron. She sits on a high stool for
most Of the work. She is also particu-
lar to have her ironing board steady
and placed at the right height, in
stead Of across two chairs as one so
often sees; she has a hamper for
the pile of dampened clothes and a
clothes horse on which to air the
freshly ironed garments. 1t Is safe
to predict, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, that the sec
Ond woman will be less tired than the
first one when she has finished the
same amount of ironing.
Other little ways of making ironing
easier are having the board well pad
ded and smoothly covered, never
standing with ones back to the light ;
using clean smootl irons, occasionally
rubbed with wax or paraffin; wearing
comfortable shoes with moderate heels
in good condition. Rubber heels are
liked by many people.
An ideal ironing board is one which
is hinged permanently to the wall at
the best height for the worker so that
it can be folded back into a small
fiat closet out of the way when not
in use. This type Of ironing board
has an extendable leg to rest on when
pulled down. 1t should be set as near
as possible to the stove where the
irons are heating or to the plug OF
outlet where the electric iron IS at
tached. For best results and great
est comfort in work light from win
dow should fall across the ironing
board. Put the clothes horse anC
hamper within easy reach.
