A few quiet minutes passed

eyes over the letter, finished it and
carefully folded it.

and Railway Shop Laborers will I'M
questionably be tricked into an I'M
favorable wage contract or in some
thing still worse by their officers if
they don't do some "watchful wait
ing"
Trouble arose when Che railway
companies rejected the decision of a
board of Cancellation granting wage
increase of two cents an hour for
men receiving less than 20 cents an
hour, while general increase of five
cents an hour originally has been de-
manded. A strike ballot then was
taken and almost 80 per cent of the
approximately 10000 Canadian MEM
hers of the brotherhood voted in
favor of walk-out. After the ar
rival here of Grand President F. H.
Fjozdal the matter was taken out of
the hands of the Canadian Central
Committe and the Grand Lodge in
Detroit, Mich, was "burdened with
the responsibility of calling the
strike"
Evidently that delay of the matter
should give the Board of Adjust
ment No. /" then in session, time to
consider the question. But the board
did not give its decision yet. Instead
of calling the strike, as was expected
here in the ranks of the maintenance
men,. headquarters sent a letter to
the railway association of Canada
requesting further negotiations.
The board of adjustments decision
on the matter was supposed to be the
last chance offered the railways to
come to terms. Now comes another
"last chance" and how many more
will come along? 1t seems as if the
bureaucrats in the brotherhood's
headquarters are trying to kid the
workers along until the railway COM
panies are entrenched in such a po-
sition that it would be a long chance
for the workers to try to come out
on strike.

CHAPTER VIC .inued

@ EREZHA SURInOV tall
- and well-made, little bent,
chestnut hair touched with gold,
face, at first sight the most ordi-
nary face of a young Red Army
soldier, handsome lad from the
country, but lit from within by
some sort of fire that beautified
every line of the simple face, like
a candle turning an unpretentious
lantern into a most marvellous star.
A broad nose, blue eyes, soft, hui
morous mouth, gold hair on his
cheeks, upper lip and chin.
Quiet, taciturn, as if he were
keeping some secret, he used to
come home after a long days work
in the Cheka. His movements
were unhurried, like his sensible
rarely spoken words. His mother,
with affectionate glance, watched
every movement of Serezha, lis
tened to his every word, and gave
what was left over of her affection
to Stalmakhov who was already
grown-up, hardened, and forgetful
of mother-love, remembering it as

ticians in Washington cry out
against a paltry bonus for those
who paid the penalty either in time
of suffering during the late war.
The war mess, fostering for many
years, is now beginning to belch forth
the most putrid doors. The Teapot
Dome scandal is clear steal; it 'af-
fects the nations pocketbook. The
Veterans Bureau graft does more.
Besides millions of dollars robbed
from the government, thousands
upon thousands of wounded ex-
soldiers suffer the lack and denial
of the most elementary necessities.
Unable to procure aid for themselves,
they are left to the mercy of the
network Of officials appointed by the
criminal Forbes.
Whereas the Teapot Dome scandal
deprives thousands of sailors of pro-
per food and clothing, the Forbes
steal tears the bandages from sick
and wounded men; robs them of
medicines without which they are
bundles Of tingling, painful nerves.
Hundreds die because of lack of
proper attention; while hundreds
more pray for death to free them
from their invalid condition.
Forbes alone is not responsible. 1t
is true the entire blame is being
shifted to his shoulders but that is
to hide the complete incompetency
of the war department in its treat
ment of ex-soldiers.
The last wars victims are not all
dead yet and the preparations for
new wars goes on apace. Soon
brightly colored sign boards and
placards will advertise the wonder
full summer training camps for citi-
zen's military training. Graft does
not interfere with ornaments. In
the United States they are necessary
and unavoidable concomitants OF
rapid development in any govern
mental field. The problem that the
militarist have to face for the COM
ing years is to cover up the sinking
mess so that new steals can be per-
petrated and the army and navy built
up for future wars.

Trust and Savings Bank than the
largest dividends.
The Amalgamated Trust and Saw
ings Bank has proven it also in the
important matter of transferring
dollars to Europe and is therefore,
recognized thruout the United States
and Canada as THE BANK thru
which dollars are TO be sent and
thru which dollars are paid out in
the most efficient way in all Euro
pean countries. Tens of thousands
of people from turnout the country,
and hundreds of banks send dollars
to Europe thru the Amalgamated
Trust and Savings Bank. In Eu-
rope it is also well known that the
Amalgamated Trust and Savings
Bank is the best bank for dollar
Payments. This is evidenced bv the
fact that thousands of people in the
United States receive letters from
their relatives in Europe to send
money only thru the Amalgamated
Trust and Savings Bank or thru
those banks that use the Amalgama-
ted Trust and Savings Banks serv-
| ice.
Millions of dollars were sent thru
the Amalgamated Trust and Savings
Bank and every dollar and every
penny was paid out. At a time when
| the conditions in Europe were acute,
especially SO in Russia, when people
were willing TO pay any amount in
order TO help their relatives thru
the system that the Amalgamated
Trust and Savings Bank has intro
duced for paying dollars TO Europe
and particularly in Russia, thru the
=, connections with the Russian Com
mercial and Industrial Bank in Mos
COW, nevertheless, the Amalgamated
Trust and Savings Bank remained
true to the principle of a labor bank
and has charged and is now charg-
ing absolutely the lowest rates.

volume Of business that the Amalga-
mated Trust and Savings Bank Of

people who know foreign languages.
II is very important that bank en-
ployes whose duty II is to attend
TO foreign remittances should know
thoroly the language Of the country
where the money is going TO, other
wise remittances are often delayed
for months and at times the money
is not paid out at all. At the Anal
gamated Trust and Savings Bank
such an occurrence is impossible. In
the Russian department, the Anal
gamated Trust and Savings Bank

Russian; in the Polish department

climate. Neither of the two suf-
ferers are responsible for their hor-
rible misfortunes,
They lie and groan in a govern
ment hospital. Young in years, their
doom is never to be able to resume
a normal life. They are incurables
of the late war. Some Of the other
fellows cannot talk. Their threats
have been shot to pieces or poison
gas has stilled their voices forever.
Perhaps they feel like bursting to
tell the wrongs done them. Others
are raving mad and the brute treat
ment does not register on diseased
brain.
The millions that have been spent
by the United States government
inadequate in the very first instance
have been used to pay for the wine
and-women parties of Charles r.
Forbes and his friends. What does
it matter if thousands of hopeless
cripples and diseased men suffer
the tortures of hell so long as a
group Of political friends get their
due?
Charles r. Forbes was given the
job as head of the Veterans Bureau,
by President Harding because he
could tell such good stories. Just
what kind they were is not revealed.
But facts just uncovered show that
President Harding chose for one of
the most responsible positions in the
government one Of the worst types
of criminals, former army deserter
and a man who was ready to enter
any kind Of deal so long as there
was money in it for him. Forbes
cleaned up $225,000,000 out of the
misery and suffering Of thousands Of
ex-soldiers who fell for warrior
democracy" stuff in 1918 or were
forced in to the world slaughter thru
the draft.

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE)
The Russian Communist Party
branch is governing this frontier
city and fighting the counter
revolution. Earlier installments
tell Of the fuel shortage that pre-
vents seed grain from being
fetched on the railroad. The Party
meeting decides to send the Red
Army far away for fuel, at the
risk of leaving the city open for
bandits and counter-revolutionists.
1t also decides to conscript the
local bourgeoisie for wood cutting
in a nearby park. Varied types
of party members are flashed on
the screen: Klimin, the efficient
president of the branch, who still
finds time to have a sweetheart;
Robeiko, the consumrtive, whose
devotion is killing him; Gornuikh,
the brilliant youth of 10 on the
Cheka; Matusenko, the luxury
loving place hunter, and Martui-
nov, whose middle-class anteced-
ants allow him to fit with some
difficulty into the movement to
which his idealism led him. In
the last issue the party has organ
lied a Saturdaying expedition into
the Public Gardens for firewood.
Lisa, a school teacher in the Red
Army, goes, glowing with ardor for
the work. She returns to her
rooming house where she finds Re-
