Worlmen's Circle groups Joined
ranks here in Memorial for Lenin.
bringing out an audience that crowd
ed the auditorium of the Labor
Lyceum. Orators representing va
rious shades of political opinion put
aside their differences. All spoke in
praise Of the great revolutionary
leader, and the audience sang the
RED Flag" enthusiastically.
Eustace Reynolds spoke briefly on
the deep impression Lenin's death
had made on the world.
C. M. O'Brien of Rochester fol-
lowed, declaring: "The men who
conceived and brought to fruitition
the Russian revolution were gifted
with the highest standard of intel
hgence known to have been pos
sessed by any set of men in similar
position" Of these men, according
to the speaker, "Lenin was the most
brilliant and the most astute."
Pat Quinlan, editor of The New
Age of Buffalo, spokesman for the
Socialist Party, described Lenin in
action as he had seen him in Russia.
kirkpatrick Indicts Capitalists
A powerful Indictment of the
capitalist governments of the world
in their persecution of the work
mems republic of Russia. was made
by George R. kirkpatrick, vice
presidential candidate of the So
cialist Party in 1915. He expressed
his admiration of the splendid pro-
Ietarian leadership of Lenin, and
said: cup to date, Lenin and his
co-operators have accomplished the
biggest single job in the political
affairs of mankind"
Rudolph Katz of Buffalo, speak
ing for the Workers Party, said:
eve are not here to mourn, but
to gather new courage and inspira-
ton to carry on the great work
for which Lenin lived, and for which
he died. Lenin was Of the working
class, and, tho men of great intel
lectual capacity have appeared be-
fore among the workers, they have
nearly always used their powers to
further the interests of the op-
pressors. We are not hero wor-
shippers, but we recognize that men
like Lenin are entitled to the re-
spect and admiration of mankind.
During the life of Lenin the cap
itahst press maligned him, but now
they fill their columns with belated
praise.
~ Quotes From Lenin
GAS Lenin himself wrote In The
State of Revolution During the
lifetime of great revolutionaries the
depressing classes invariably have
meted out to them relentless perse-
cution, and have received their
teachings with the most savage hos
tility, with most furious hatred, and
with a ruthless campaign of lies
and ISLANDERS. After their death,
however, attempts are usually made
to turn them into harmless saints,
canonizing them, as it were, invest
ing their names with certain halo
by way of consolation to the
oppressed classes, with the object of
duping them; while at the same
time emasculating and degrading
the real essence of their revolu
tionary theories, bunting their
revolutionary edge"
Appeal for funds to feed the
starving children of Germany was
made by Frank Herzog Of Buffalo,
and met with generous response.

of country life under the system of
wage slavery. A description of spe-
cifc facts will help to make this
clearer.
Findings in Southern States.
In West Virginia, children are car
rying burdens that properly belong
to grown-ups. Walter w. Armen-
trout, who investigated conditions
there. found the following examples:
A 12-year-old boy and his mother
cultivated six acres Of corn and raised
and marketed 600 bushels of toma-
toes.
Two boys, II and II years old, op-
Grated a 140-acre farm, while the ia
Their worked in sand mine.
A boy, Is years old, does all the
work on a 150-acre farm, his father
being away at the mines.
One boy, IL years old, was found
operating tractor, disking a 20-acre
field, unaided.
A girl, Is years old, and her two
brothers. Is and IA years old, hoed
Is acres of corn three times, cut corn
one week, bound oats by hand 3 days,
raked hay with a hand rake IS days,
picked up potatoes for three days, rs
bushels each, per day. etc.
The worst phases of rural child la
Dor are found in the one-crop sections
of the South, where cropper tenancy
prevails. Here the greedy landlords
have developed system Of peonage
which guarantees the rent to the land
lord and insures poverty to the ten
ant. The landlord furnishes the land,
work, stock, implements, seed, half

fields of Colorado, Michigan, Nebras-
ka, Kansas and Iowa, in the truck
gardens all along the Atlantic coast,
or in the great onion fields of Ohio
the acreage to be cultivated is al
Iotted on the same basis. The land
lords. employers and other exploiters
of the agricultural wage earners de-
wise such contractual conditions
which mean a greater demand for ten
ants and laborers with larger fami-
lies, and consequently greater exploit
tation of rural child laborers.
Many reformists and philanthropy
lists, who interest themselves in child
labor problems, have tried to show
that the work of children in the open
air is not injurious; that "the fact
that farm children work does not
make them child laborers: that the
child with a home in the country,
where he lives under the care of his
parents, is ideally situated" etc. All
these assumptions are false, baseless
and do not stand any criticism. Poor
housing conditions, lack of the sim
plest sanitary devices, failure to OBJ
serve even elementary health precau-
tions, lack Of recreational life, wretch
ed schooling facilities and poor quail
lity of teachers, burdens prematurely
placed upon children in farm and
housework, these are the drawbacks

the fertilizer, etc. The tenant sup
plies nothing except his labor and
that Of his wife and children. When
the crop is gathered he gets half, and
with deductions made for the ad-
vances, the landlord gets the rest.
The number of acres granted for cul-
tivation depends upon the number of
children of the tenant, and as the
machinery provided by the landlord is
usually old and outworn, the tenant

dinner; many families take their ain
ners to the field and eat as they go
up and down the rows.
On the truck farms of Maryland
and Virginia, children as young as 5
years Of age are being mereilessly
exploited by the landlords. Here
they work from 9 to Is hours a
day; Negro children working much
longer hours. In addition to the time
spent working on the field most of
the children are compelled 10 do
housework and tend to the chores,
which makes their total days" work
unusually long.
The earnings of the children are
very small. On the Norfolk truck
farms, the hourly rates range from
less than 5 cents up to 40 cents and
over. In Maryland, children usually
get the prevailing rate for piecework
by the basket or by the row, as, for
example, cents for a five-eighths
bushel of tomatoes. In other cases
they are paid by the hour, from 10 to
30 cents. One child of was given
10 cents day for dropping sweet po-
tatoes.
Conditions In Other States.
In states other than the south the
conditions are not any better. In
North Dakota, investigations of the
children's bureau revealed shocking
conditions. Children between and

Maslox Simek, twenty-three, in

Henry Ford, by threatening to
kill Edsel and binding his wife

Simek is said to have con-

WHOM he at first accused Of
forcing him to write the threat
ening letters, is innocent.
A warrant charging him with

recommended. Mrs. Hladik was

ample recompense for the labor of
the diligent, and room for the ex-
ercise of the most various tastes.
Certain of the objects thus col
lected may have hardly any virtue
than the doubtful one of scarcity:
but fine prints, whatever school
they may belong to and whatever
the price asked for them, have al.
ways the fascination Of beauty and
the interest Of historical associa-
ton.
The study of engravings, ancient
and modern. of woodcuts, line en-
cravings, etchings, mezzotints-has
become by this time extremely elab.
crate and immensely complicated.
Most people know nothing of it
and few men, even those who ad.
dress themselves to the task acquire
swiftly any substantial knowledge
Of more than one or two depart
ments of the study.
From this it is to be concluded
that the print collector must be a
specialist, more or less. The ques.
ton the collector often asks him.
self is whether the prints he is to
bring together should be the works
of an artist who originates, or Of
an artist who mainly translates.
The schools Of early line-engrav-
ers, Italian. Flemish, German, are
almost entirely schools of original
production.
AS early as the days Of Raphael,
the interpreter, the translator. the
copyist, came into the matter and
the designs Of the ordinate were
multiplied by the BURN of Marc
Antonio and his followers. They

In the main the earlier work is
original. principally because the
world of buyers was small and the
time had not yet come when there
was any need for the creations of
an artist to be largely multiplied.

the seventeenth century. when the
