There Is nothing about the appear
ance of Annie S. Peck to suggest the
intrepid spirit of adventure that in
spires this famous traveller to pursue
information to the very mountain
peaks. Back Of the urge for journey
ing is the big dream of discovering
new places, new facts and new peo-
pie, and this Is the real lure OF the
unknown that has sent Miss Peck
eight times into South America to
face all kinds of perils. Because or
this dogged determination to learn all
of the mysteries of our neighboring
continent, Miss Peck is famous the
world around as the best authority
on South America. and her books on
this land are regarded as textbooks IN
their scope and authenticity.
Wholly feminine, despite the rather
strenuous and awe-inspiring profess
sion which is always associated with
such grave dangers, Miss Peck loves
feminine fripperies. and she also

CUT-AND-DRIED PROGRAM IS PLANNED BY REDS FOR ST. PAUL CONVENTION;
 MOSCOW AGENTS PLAY SHREWD GAME

for the organization of national par ivy and the domination in 1t of the class idea is the best guarantee of this.
 This St. Paul Convention holds out tremendous possibilities. If we succeed in o11r aims there and crystalline i'll one body the revolting elements of the work CTS and tenant and rnortgaged farmers formulating a class program and estab- fishing an aggressive leadership, the po- litical revolt of the oppressed masses will move forward with giant strides. A successful convention at St. Paul on Tune 17th will mean that the workers as a distinct class, i'll alliance with the poor farmers, have stepped onto the political stage in America for the first time Such an event will have a profound influence, not only upon America but upon the en- tire world.
 We are not alone in this appraisal of the significance of June 17th. The enc mics of the independent working class political movement are alive to the dy- II St. Paul They have commenced to fire a tremendous volley of denuncation and misrepresentation against it.
 "The capital press, and that part of the labor press which serves the capital ists, are fighting the St. Paul conven- ton with all their power, Their aim is to defeat the rank and file movement for an independent class party to steer the workers back into the capitalists parties, or into a third party dominated by the petty bourgeoise. There is no mystery in the fact that they single out partici- patton by the Communists in the June 17th convention for particular attack The presence of the Communists-the driving force in the genuine labor party ovement-assures that a real fight will be made for the formation of a national party on a claim basis, dominated by the workers and poor farmers. This is what the capitalists and their labor agents fear the most This is why they are ,nak- ing such fight against the Communists in connection with this convention"
 This revolutionary organ edite nom- inally by Earl R. Browder, but really by Foster, puts it up to the militant" or revolutionary workers as the biggest is- sue of the hour. They are warned to make the fight for the June 17 conven- ton the biggest issue in the labor move ment." Which is another way of saying that bona fde labor issues are to be sab otaged to suit the plans of the disrupters and revollutionists.

BY THE WAY

Brooklyn's bobed haired bandit" is captured and the newspapers devote many columns of space to her alleged ex- p1oits One hundred and eleven miners die in an explosion at Benwood, w. Va, and the paper give the terrible disaster only small fraction of the space wasted on the bandit with the short tresses.
 This manner of treating the two hap penings indicates that neither press nor public is particularly interested in the death of more than hundred miners, with all that the disaster means Ill grief and suffering for the little village of Benwood
 It lies within the power of organized labor and the labor press to change this state of affairs and make the public see the enormity of mine disasters. The Benwood tragedy IS only one of a ser ies of mine horrors which have occurred in recent months, yet aside from few editorials, the press has displayed only languid interest in the continued slagh- ter of mine workers. The press be- 1ieves that sensational "hokem" on bob haired bandits" is what the public wants and the public has shown no indication that the press IS not right.
 The public should be made to realize that mine safety Is of the utmost i'm portance and that mine slaughter is a disgrace to civilized nation, to the end that an irresistible demand should arise for the end of killing miners en rnasse In crystallizing this demand, organized labor must take the lead, as it has taken the lead in obtaining so many industrial reforms if the past.
 Hope for betterment of the workers health is seen in plans for a thorough study of hygienic conditions in industry to be made by the Industrial Hygiene Division of the New York State Labor Department
 That there need for such a study IS shown in the constant increase in the of chemical substances used in which are dangerous to those who come in close contact with them These conditions bear a decided rela- tionship to output in manufacture, which has been revealed by recent scientific of general working con ditions, such as fatigue, ventilation and local temperature
 While organized labor will watch with sympathy every effort to improve hy- gene conditions in mine, mill and fac tory, 1t knows that the best guarantee, healthful working conditions IS strong of the workers. Wherever working conditions are good and pay is

CHILD LABOR
 BOSSES WOULD
 CONFUSE PUBLIC

Washington, May 10.-Unfair em- ployers would create the belief that the child labor amendment to the fed era1 constitution, just approved by the house, would prohibit all labor by children under IS years.
 Efforts to change the age limit to l6 years is part of this propaganda, and was condemned by President Gompers, in a public statement. The A. F. of l.. executive said many per sons have &Been deceived as to the meaning of the language employed in the amendment.
 "The amendment would be an en- abling act permitting congress to limit regulate or prohibit the labor of persons under IS years of age" said President Gompers. "The age would be prohibited by congress would be governed by the demands of the people. Between that age and IS years congress would limit or regu
  the sentiment of the people.
 T can not but believe that Presi dent Nicholas Murray Butler of Co., lumbia college is one of those who has been grieviously deceived, or he would not have written such a letter as he did to Senators Shortridge and Wads- worth, for he says:
 "'The notion that every boy and ev- cry girl should be kept in school or college until IS years has nothing to commend 1t but sheer sentimentality.'
 Nothing is further from the facts, as has been noted" said President Gompers. "The people of the United States are determined that there shall be protection for the children. Any individual or political party that de feats the will of the people will be held responsible by the people,"
