THE VIEWS OF OUR READERS ON
LIFE, LABOR, INDUSTRY, POLITICS

symbolical Of Labor's efforts to pro-
duce its fruits of victory. Today, even
more than in times past, does this
poetic allusion seem appropriate. And
these fruits of the Labor struggle will
soon now be brought forth, prophe-
sized speaker Dunno. eff we progress
sives have the sense, and the cour-
age, and the spirit of self-sacrifice
that is necessary"
In opening this meeting, Chairman
Abern Former Secretary of The
Young Workers) told of the Russian
workers victorious celebration of May
Day in their country. And he express
ed belief that with this glorious exam
pie before the eyes of the worlds
workers, hope for international sol
idarity of the working-class is fully
justified.
Editor Schactman, of The Young
Worker, was of the opinion that only
ia class Farmer-Labor Party can lay
the permanent foundation for work
ers' control and abolition of child
wage-slavery in this country.

An IndefensibIe Policy

Important problems come before the convention
of the International Ladies' Garment Workers
Union meeting in Boston today
We feel that the most important of these is the
question of iquidating the indefensible policy of
the Sigman administration this past year of ex-
polling militants in the organization, because Of
their membership in the Trade Union Educa-
tional League.
This disrupting Sigman policy was spawned by
the machine that draws its inspiration from the
New York Jewish Daily (Socialist) Forward 1t
lives because of the aid given it by this same For
ward organization.
What are the crimes of the militants? Let us
list few of them
That they urged amalgamation as against craft
separatism
That they sought an allinclusive Farmer-Labor
Party as opposed to a Socalistlabor bureaucracy
controlled Third Party.
That they demanded the shop delegate system
of labor organization as opposed to the Outworn
local union system
That they pressed for militant struggle against
all reductions in wages as opposed to compromise
and collaboration with the bosses.
These are all "crimes" that every member of the
international Ladies' Garment Workers Union,
ton, should claim as his own. Every member of the
union should look upon it as proud duty to fight
for these measures urged by the militants. And
that seems to have been the way that the mlitants
looked upon the whole problem.
We do not have to ask the membership of the
International Ladies' Garment Workers Union to
liquidate the indefensible expulsion policy. They
have already shown themselves already in favor
Of doing that very thing. 1t is now the duty of
the delegates to the Boston Convention to interpret
correctly and carry out the desires of the rank and
file
It is said that majority of the delegates to this
convention have been elected pledged to the repu-
tation of the expulsion policy. 1t remains for
these delegates to stand loyal to that pledge, true
to the task entrusted to them. They should not
allow themselves to be misled by carefully pro-
voked hysteria or cleverly aroused prejudices.
All the charges against the Trade Union Educa-
tional League, including the silly theory that it
is dual union, have been repeatedly punctured.
Only the offcialdom, from Sigman and his satel-
lites up to Gompers cling to this absurd claim.
Let the delegates to the Boston Convention of
the international Ladies' Garment Workers Union
repudiate this indefensible policy of explosions,
and they will make for real unity within the whole
labor movement.

she generates enough faith in God the
cure will be affected, she believes.
Even if she should never be cured that
will not alter her devotion or weaken
her faith. She will take all the blame
for Gods failure to cure her on her
own shoulders. She attends the SER

claims to have healed hundreds OF
people, performing miracles that
equal those claimed by the Catholic
Church. Mr.. Bryan, she says is

spend some weeks under the minis

goes to the Democratic convention,

their religion seriously-that Bryan,

QUITE TIMELY

This weeks the Week for Raisins
To put iron in the blood;
Next weeks the Week for Beauty
Toilet waters. rouge and mud;
Then comes the Week for Pickles
Sour, mustard, sweet, and dill,
And after that attorneys talk
A week about your Win.
We have to listen for a week
About the worth OF cheese;
The doctors take a week to tell
Just when and how to sneeze;
The laundres shout for seven days
Come see us wash your clothes
That's followed by a wonder week
Of showing ladies' hose.
IT'S thus the propaganda goes,
A week for this and that,
A week to use the Golden Rule;
A week reducing fat:
To add to all the ones we haveF
May truly seem like cheek,
But just the same let's have Que
more,
LET'S HAVE A LAY OFF

Assessment of Farm LandIs
Complicated Business Based On
Locations, improvements, Value

Poor Soil, 80 acres, Fair Soil, 10
acres.
NE-SEA-Assessed Value 1850;
Poor Soil, 25 acres; Fair Soil, Is
acres.
SE-NWA-Assessed Soil, 1900;
Poor Soil, acres; Fair Soil, 80
acres.
NE-NW11l Assessed Value, 100.
Poor Soil, 80 acres, Fair Soil, 10
acres.
These forties seem to be valued
mainly according to location, those
which are assessed highest (No. :,
u, 3, A. lying along the main roads,
while mo. and g. may be called
back forties and are partly tim
bered.
Based on the producing power of
the soil alone these forties would
be assessed about as follows:
NV SEA-Fair Soil at $40 per
acre, 400; Poor Soil at SIT per
acre, IS; Total, SASS.
SW-SEA-Fair Soil at $40 per
acre, 600; Poor Soil at ST per acre,
425; Total, $1O25.
SE-SEA-Fair Soil at $40 per
acre, 400; Poor Soil at SIT per acre,
$40; Total, 1910
NE-SEA-Fair Soil at $40 per
acre, 600; Poor Soil at SIT per acre
425; Total, $1025.
SE-NWA Fair Soil at $40 per
acre, 400; Poor Soil at ST per acre
3d. Total, SASS.
NE-NW14-Fair Soil at $40 per
acre, 400; Poor Soil at SIT per acre
$40; Total, 500.
In this case, the soil method of
taxation results in smaller varia-
ton in the assessment Of the adj
joining forties. While Soil Sur
.veys alone may not form a salts
factory basis for taxation, they are
helpful in arriving at the relative
value Of disputed forties and afford
a more fair basis of comparison. In
many European countries tax adj
justment is based more largely on
examination of the soil than it is
in this country.
