The Committee on Union Label of
the International Ladies Garment
Workers Union recommend that the
sum of 100000 be appropriated by the
convention for advertising union label
goods in such widely read magazines
as the Saturday Evening Post and the
Ladies' Home Journal This would
make an Egyptian mummy laugh. 1t
happens that both magazines are nom
union publications, owned by Curtis,
the notorious scab herder and open
shopper. The takers who control the
l. L. G. w. u. are continually bowling
against the radicals in their ranks and
accusing them of trying to break up
the union. Yet we have the yellow
socialists union leaders recommending
| that 100000 be dumped into the cof-
fers of open shop publishers. Labor
takers patronize scab taxis, scab hotels
and scab on each other. 1t is well they
are shedding whatever shred of dec
ency that chung to them so that the
workers may be thoroughly disilIu-
stoned.
McAdoo looks considerably more
like candidate now than he did the
day after it was learned he accepted
retainer of $50 900 from Doheny, the
oil king. Since then his managers
have gone over him several times
with soap and water, and tho oil and
water don't mix, anything is liable to
happen in politics. 1t speaks volumes
for the Democratic Party that dam
aged oil can is the best it can offer
the imperial American voting king
king for one day.
Calvin Coolidge may apply for his
share of the Soldiers bonus which he
tried to kill by veto. Being a practi-
cal fellow. he probably reasons that
he is entitled to some compensation
for the hundreds of thousands of
votes. the little patriotic speech will
cost him. The press informs us that
the president was "gassed" forty
five minutes by Brigadier eneral
Sawyer, as a treatment for a sore
throat Now, if Calvin can dig up
a secondhand gas mask, he can claim
his share of the price of patriotism
with as good right as many of the
members of the American Legion.
He, at least served on the Massachu-
sets water front.
James Brown, socialist member of
the British parliament, is nice, mo-
derate sort of fellow who would
not hurt hair on the head of mem
Der of the ruling class even tho it
be a King. "Comrade" Brown knows
what the wicked Communists of Rus
STA failed to realize that the workers
can emancipate themselves, not by
tearing down what has already been
built up, but by exchanging places
with those who are already in the
places that are built up. For in
stance: when the Russian workers
came into power. the car lost his
head and went underground. When
the British socialists assumed office,
James Brown became king of Scot
land. Everybody was satisfied-but
the workers. The confoundedly stu
pid wage slaves found themselves no
better off than before and went on
strikes to get little more salt her
ring for their wives and children
/
James Brown is a former miner.
He is now chancellor of the Church
of Scotland. The nobility call him
King. They hail his wife as Queen.
Isn't that more pleasant for Com
rade" Brown, than going to the trou-
BILE of overthrowing the capitalists
system and establishing Soviet Re-
public, abolishing titles, and royal
robes and maids-in-waiting, etc. or
coursel Nobody would think other
wise but a revolutionist. When Com
rade" Brown arrived in Edinburgh,
81 of His Majesty's guns fired royal
salute for him. So the king Is not
such bad fellow after ALL II the
workers only knew their masters
II they could only get close enough
to them-how different things would
be.
AT Hollywood palace the Queens
Mrs. Fellow Worker" Brown
Seventh Hussars mounted guard as
the royal flag was hoisted over the
palace Comrade Brown wore the uni
form of Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire.
After the royal pair were properly
rugged out they proceeded to st.
Giles cathedral and opened the gen
eral assembly of the church. They
were hauled to the religious edifice in
gold state coach. After the religi-
