Labor Hall impressed on the eager
audience that filled the auditorium.
There were speakers in English, Jew
ish, Russian, German and other lam
guages.
A portrait of Lenin, draped in
mourning, was exhibited from the
platform and the Russian funeral
march for fallen heroes was rendered.
Boris Vodneff presided
Lenin Memorial at Glace Bay.
GLACE BAY Nova SCOTIA
huge Lenin memorial meeting was
held here under the auspices of the
Glaze Bay branch of the Workers
Party at the Russell Theater. In
spite Of the bitter cold weather ana
the poverty under which the min
ers are suffering owing to the un-
employment and the present strike
since Jan. 16, the theater was
jammed.
The meeting opened by the sing
ing of the International and the Red
Flag. The chairman, Alfred Nash,
called the attention of the meeting
to the fact that all over the contin-
emit the workers were holding similar
meetings to show their devotioE to
the greatest revolutionary leaders
the workers ever had. The other
speakers were Alex. A. Mckay and
Tom Bell. They dealt with the life
Of Lenin and the development of
the Bolsheviki party from obscure
groups of workers leading an "un-
foreground" existence to the ruling
party in Russia. The struggles OF
the Russian workers and peasants
during the revolutionary struggle
against the whole capitalist world,
and the magnificent role which the
Communist Party, the party of
Lenin, played in these struggles,
were spoken of and evoked cheers
and applause from the workers pres
emit.
Moving pictures taken during the
second congress of the Communist
International in Moscow and Petro-
grad were shown. The pictures Of
the leaders of the revolution the
workers demonstrations, the Red
Army and Fleet, were greeted with
great enthusiasm.
During the meeting the following
message was ordered sent to Mos
COW on behalf Of the meeting:
Gregory Zinoviev, President Third

Bay workers in mass meeting, ex-
press sorrow at loss Of leader, Com
rade Lenin. Long live the Commun-

Lloyd George has not added any luster to
the Wilsonian halo by his reluctant admission
which has all the earmarks of being forced
from him-that Clemenceau and Woodrow
Wilson fixed up the matter of the Rhineland
occupation while he was unavoidably absent.
In our comment on the Lloyd George dis
closure we said that we were not Interested
in anything but the admitted fact that both
Wilson and Lloyd George had agreed to the
military program of the French imperialists
while posing as friends of the German and all
other peoples.
We are not astonished at the reputation
of the interview by Lloyd George in which he
accused Clemenceau and Wilson of having
made a secret agreement on the Rhineland
occupation; it serves only to confirm his reputa-
ton for slipperiness but does not alter the fact
that an agreement was made between these
two capitalist statesmen concerning POSSIBLE
tiles which later became actualties in the
shape of French army of occupation and I'M
told misery for millions of workers and their
families.
Listen to the SNUG manner in which Lloyd
George makes peace with the Wilson and Gle
menceau admirers who had been shocked by
the possibility that the arrangements for bring
ing terror and death to the masses had not
been made "honorably':
''Mr. Wilson, need hardly say, acted in
perfect loyalty" and it cannot be i'm
puted as blame of either Wilson or Cle-
menceau that | was called to England
when these grave matters were under dis
cussion. The fact that Wilson and Cle-
menceau had to come to an agreement
during my absence was communicated to
me my return"
It will be a source of immense consolation
to the families who were driven from their
homes, who had their belongings coniscated,
to the workers who were imprisoned, to the
families of those who were bayonetted and shot
in the name of the Versailles peace, to know
that the feelings of Lloyd George were not hurt
and that only pressing business prevented his
presence when this glorious plan was outlined
"The Big Three" were loyal to one another
and after all that is what matters to the capt.
talists of the world and their lackeys.

under his skin thoro-going militarist, is an
expert Like almost all experts under capital
ism he has his price.
One might even ask DR.. Levermore whether
his next step will be to invest his $4,000 in
Victory Bonds. Wouldn't that be an effective
step to help the League of Nations today?
What is more, weren't these very Victory
Bonds issued in order to plunge America into
the League of Nations?
The whole affair would be too ludicrous to
deserve serious attention were it not for the
fact that this choice of a militarist as peace
prize winner brings home to the workers very
painfully the menace of wars and rips the
cloak of hypocrisy off the capitalist peace
makers.

Big Washington Meeting.

WASHINGTON.-The workers
of Washington mourned the loss of
Nicolai Lenin at an overlooking meet
ing held at Pythian Temple.
Police sought to stop the meeting,
but their plans were foiled by Sena-
tor Wheeler's declaration that If the
meeting were interfered with he
would make a public issue Of the
affair.
Ben Gitlow spoke and Western
Starr, Washington liberal, presided.
At the rear of the platform was an
artistic portrait of Lenin, draped
with red and black silk. The meeting
was held under the auspices of the
Workers Party and Workmen's Cir
Gle branch.
Lenin's work In shaping the pro-
gram Of world revolution left a debt
to the working class which they can
only pay by carrying on the move
ment to final success, declared Cit
low. He appealed to the men and
women present who had not already
done so to join the party Of Lenin,
the Workers Party, which was func-
tioning in Washington as in the other
proletarisn centers Of America.
"Lenin was the pilot of the
Soviet ship, which weathered all
the storms that threatened to des-
troy the proletarian revolution

ton adopted at the meeting, which

Steel Trust stops Meeting


MONESSEN, Pa.-True to the re-
dictionary record of this steel city,
where the murders committed by en-
ployers' agents during the steel strike
are still fresh in the memory, the
Lenin Memorial meeting was pre-
vented by the American Legion and
the police.
Threats of violence had been made
by the Legion should any meeting
for the departed Soviet leader be
held and police had announced that
the Legion would be protected in
stopping the meeting.
The night of the meeting, two
auto-loads of Legionaires rolled up
to the hall intent on trouble, but
they found the hall dark with squad
of police about it. The police had
come on the same errand as the
Legion.
Workers in Monessen had called
off the meeting, feeling that useless
bloodshed would flow, but they are
continuing with their work of organ
izing the radical forces so that such
tyrannical procedure can be pre-
vented in future.
The Steel Trust owns the jobs and
the government Of Monessen. Dur
ing the great steel strike scabs i'm
prisoned within the mills revolted,
and more than a dozen were slain by
the trusts gunner. The matter was
carefully kept out Of the news agen-

A contribution of approximately
$42O annually for the care of each
child at the American Legion Billet
at Otter Lake, Mich, is necessary for
the war veterans to carry on this i'm
portant phase of the work, according
to Dr. C. V. Spawn, department COM
mander of the Legion in that state.
Cottages are soon to be built and
the whole plant extended as rapidly
as funds permit, according to depart
ment officials. 1t is not unlikely that
this project will be adopted by the ma
tional organization as one of the re-
gional homes anticipated in the ma
tional program for child welfare by the
Legion.
The orphans project is in addition
to another unique work of the Ameri-
can Legion in Michigan, at Roosevelt

where scores OF tuberculosis ex-serv-
ice men are cared for at the expense

veterans has proved the most serious
mistake in the care of the disabled

John F. Organ. Many of the vet
Grams would have been better off If
they had not been trained, he de-
clared in an interview with a repre-
sentative of the American Legion.
upon his departure from Washington
at the conclusion Of a ten months
investigation of the veterans bureau.
The general said that this statement
did not take into consideration any
charges of negligence, extravaganza
or mismanagement, but considered
only the system Of rehabilitation used
in caring for the men.
Il am firmly of the opinion" he
said. that there are great many

sands-of men in vocational training
who would be better off if the govern
ment had never undertaken to re-
educate them. BY better off, l mean
more able than they are now to cope
with conditions and win economic in
dependence"
THE governments vocational ma
chinery never actually broke down;
it never even started in the right
way. Little attention was paid to
getting the right men into the right
course in 1920 and 1921. The whole
thing was travesty on the name of
rehabilitation. Instead of teaching
men to strike out and paddle their
own canoes again, the tendency was
to cultivate habitual pensioners"
''In 1922 when the federal board was
merged with the veterans bureau
things took a turn for the better and
the situation has steadily improved.
But the evil had been DONE Instead
of being taught to become independ-
ent and self-supporting, thousands Of
veterans had been schooled for two
years in how to get a livelihood at
public expense. 1t has been necessary
to drop a good many men whose
cases have become impossible.

not see how the bureau can turn out

Of the 10000 men now receiving
vocational training, about 1000 a
month are leaving the institutions as
rehabilitated. Recent experience
shows that approximately ninety-five
per cent of these men are making
