BY ROSE COHEN, Organizer Of
CHICAGO Juniors.

Comrades, we all know that many
of the children of working class par
ents belong to capitalist organizations
like the girl and boy scouts, the camp
fire girls, and so forth. Even tho we
fight against their propaganda thru
our school nuclei, our hardest task is
to get them to join us during the
summertime when these same capital
list organizations try to attract the
children with camps and other good
times in order to make them forget
how poor they are and how hard
everything is for them.
/. Knowing all this, think that the
Junior groups all over the United
States should start right in on a
campaign of which our slogan shall
be: Summer Camps for the Jun
Tors" II we are at all interested in
this idea am sure we shall succeed
in really having our own camps, per-
haps as soon as this coming summer.
The Vanguard branch in Chicago
plans TO bring up this question thru
their delegates at the Chicago Second
Junior convention which is due In a
few weeks. / think II is a splendid
ideal We shall in this way have a
means OF combating the propaganda
in the capitalist camps. and also be
able to draw more children into our
ranks.
Our poets are already at work, max.
ing up songs and poems which we
shall sing instead of the usual camp
songs. Even tho we intend to have
good time, we are not going TO for
get that we are, Communists and
spread our propaganda in every way
that we can possibly do so.

Workers Starve
tspeoIaI to The DaIIy wOrkerl

NSpeCtai 10 me DAILY Workerl
BERLIN, Feb. S.-That the German
government, under the regime Of the
socialist" Ebert, deliberately paid
twice over. to the Ruhr manufacturers
the loss oftaprofits they suffered by
the passive resistance" to the Ruhr
occupation, while permitting the great
mass Of workers thrown out of work
by closing or all industry to starve
slowly with little or no relief, is now
divulged in the quarrel going on be-
tween the new German cabinet and
its out-ofofice critics.
Sever Billion for Bosses.
A vigorous protest against the gov
ernment's action in handing over hun
dreds of millions Of gold marks to the
Rhur industrialists was made today by
the German Federation of Labor and
by the Unioneof Employees which to-
gether claim a membership Of more
than 100000.
The protest states that the govern
ment found 1t possible to grant the
big Ruhr ,industrialists more than
7O00,O0O,0 gold marks tho only
70, 0OO,O 900 was set aside for indemni-
flying all others mourning losses from
the Ruhr occupation.
1t also declares that the govern

Identified according to the protesting
unions since they profted first from
the lowering of wages, the raising of
prices and escaping taxation and then
by receiving directly from the govern
ment the huge sums concerning which
the controversy is now raging.
The protest also repeats the accusa-
ton already made by the govern
ment's critics that the government
sought to conceal the granting of
Ruhr credits until after they had been
made and declares the governmental
action has filed the employees of the
industrialists who received the indem-
mites with bitterness and indignation.
The Lokal Anzeiger, organ Of the
government eaustically defending the
reactionary present cabinet, wants to
know exactly, what the government
socialists are denouncing- the big
lcoalition government including the SO
cialists, which resolved to grant the
Ruhr credits. the Marx cabinet which
started granting them, or the Luther
government.

IRELAND BLAMED
AS CANADIANS
SLAM JOHN BULL
Erin Established Very
Bad Precedent
Especial to the Daily Worker


GENEVA, Feb S.-One Of the most
refined and suave of the many polite
and suave diplomats on the payroll of
the British empire was heard to curse
Ireland softly but earnestly, when he
received a document from the Can
adam government and a letter intro
ducing the document. S
The document was nothing more or
less than fisheries treaty between
the United States and Canada. The
letter requested that it be deposited"
with the league.
The British government does not
want its colonies to get the idea into
their heads that they are free and in
dependent, and Downing street insists
on taking care Of all their troubles
with foreign nations. But the Irish
Free State, while Ramsay Macdonald
was still in Office, sent its 1921 treaty
with England, special delivery, to the
league of nations and this started the
scrimmage.
=. Nothing was said or done about 1t
until the tories came into power. The
tories promptly advised the league
that Ireland was still the same sub
ject nation except that It toted a
fancy title.
Things Looked Bright.
Ireland being accustomed to fight
ing empires several thousand times
her size never felt so happy since
1921, the prospect of another scrap
with John Bull cheering the country
up considerably.
But the worst was yet to come.
Canada got jealous of ireland and
dug up its fishy treaty, scraped the
scales of It and shipped 1t C. o. d.
to Geneva. This explains the streak
of profanity from the noble. Sir Eric
Drummond, who is playing post office
for John Bull in the Swiss town.
II Britain gets fresh with Canada
over this little assertion OF dignity,
the Canadian government only has to
threaten amalgamation with the
United States. That will send Mr..
Bull to bed with a bad attack Of
malaria.

izations were represented.
Bosses Mostly Good, Says Speaker
AS in his lecture before group of
Chicago business men at the city club
recently, Lovejoy paid tribute to
the bosses who he tried to prove had
no interest in the exploitation Of child
rem. -"only a ragged fringe of manu-
facturers-a small percentage-are in
terested in child labor" he claimed;.
but we need law to protectthe child
rem of the country against this small
group. He made no mention. of the
millions of dollars that had been spent
and the work done by the various or
ganizations of manufacturers to de-
feat the amendment; but lead the
audience to believe that the only rea-
son the amendment was lost was be-
cause the public did not get a chance
to hear the question fairly.
Confidence In Capitalists IL
Lovejoy ridiculed the possibility Of
manufacturers, trying to violate a
child labor law once 1t was passed in
the face Of the many instances Of VOL
atoms Of state child labor laws; and
said that very little would need be
spent for enforcement of a national
child labor law. He said the manu-
facturers could be trusted not to
violate the child labor law since there
were no huge profits to be made out
of child labor; such as there are out
of bootlegging. "a ~,
A little later in his talk he con-
tradicted himself by showing with
statistics that child labor was greatly
on the increase in America at the
present time; and that ever since the
recent immigration restrictions 1T had
been growing by leaps and bounds;
and manufacturers were going to the
children for the supply Of cheap labor
which they had obtained from other
countries before. gs
Lovejoy also assured the audience
that Congress would not pass any
thing radical" once it was given the
power to form federal child labor
law" Whatever opinion you may have
Of the United States congress-, he
said you can be sure it wont be so
foolish as to commit suicide by pass
ing a law prohibiting children under
1S from working"
He demonstrated in his talk and
in his statement of the recent defeat
that the child labor amendment stands
no chance of being ratified unless the
working class put up united front
fight in all states and thruout the
country during the next two years and
forces the state legislatures to- take
action despite the dictator they have
received from the employers OF child,

Especial TO tne lazy Workcrl
BROOKLYN, N. Y, Feb. S.-The
drivers and chauffeurs of the Glove
len Laundry in Brooklyn have gone
out on strike demanding the continu-
alton of the present contract and the
recognition Of the union.
More is involved than this one
laundry. The strike is test for the
union, and if the 80 drivers of the
Clovelen plant lose, the attempt will
be made by all the other laundries to
GUST their union drivers.
Boss Uses camouhage.
Already the owner of the Clovelen
laundry has asked for an injunction,
and the judge is ready to serve as
soon as he finds it advisable. He has
postponed the issuance of the injunc-
ton for the time being in hopes that
the boss may win without it. At the
same time the boss is feeling the
sting of the strike and the loss Of
trade. To overcome the odium Of
trying to run scab plant he has
changed the name to "Clovelen Pre-
mier," thus hoping to cover up the
fact that this is the laundry in which
there is strike.
Word has gone out to all organized
labor and others advising that laun-
dry work be given only to drivers
wearing the union button and the
response is widespread, the people in
stinctively supporting the union driv-
ers.
At the meeting of the striking driv.
ers many women and men who work
in the laundries, tho not yet organ
lied came to offer their aid. Lena
Chernenko, of the Workers Party, told
the strikers that the Workers Party
was there to aid in any way the un-
ion desired and that if there was an
injunction, the members would still
help picket and give any assistance
possible. This offer was received en-
Enthusiastically by the drivers, and COM
ments were heard in hearty approval
of this method of cooperation.
