that he who has the price can buy his

1t is probable that all these things
are known by the people of the United
States and California. Maybe they do
not care; they are not interested: or
perhaps they think it serves us right
to have to live under such conditions.
Whatever is the case, why not be
honest about it? San Quentin is not
place where men are reformed and
made over into useful citizens. It is
place of cruel and stupid punish
ment where the ruling class "gets

When the International Union with
drew from the organization controlled
by Morris Waldman another local of
paper box makers was chartered.
This local union has at its head Jo-
seph d. Cannon. He too is not fitted
to lead the rank and file of the work

dence, nor is he aggressive enough
against the employers. Tho he quar-
rels with Morris Waldman, he and
Waldman are at the same time prom

lacking in vitamines and other ingre-

prison has much-advertised vegeta-

hogs, and milk cows. The vegetable
garden covers about five acres and is
highly cultivated and carefully tended.

The only trade it is possible to

Labor Of Mothers.

The conditions under which the
farm work is done in this so-called
protected industry have been re-
vealed by he childrens' bureau of the
U. S, department of labor. The bu-
reau found that under the contract
system prevailing the labor of moth
ers with little children and Of boys
and girls as young as years was
the regular thing in the sugar-beet
fields. In both Colorado and Michi-
gan one-fourth of the child workers

sixth were over IA years. Coolidge's
twice rejected nominee for attorney
general, Charles B. Warren, is the
principal child SLAYER in the Michigan
beet fields.
The bureau found these little chill
dren working long hours at worn
which was frequently dangerous.
Working hours ran as high as Is
day. Families were found living hud-
died together in shanties which were
not even waterproof and with prac-
tically no decent provision for sani-
tation.
Such revelations show that the
high sugar tariff means no protec.
ton to the standards of workers who
produce the sugar-beets. 1t simply
enables the sugar trust which oper-
ates branches in Cuba, Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines, as well
as in the states, to add nearly &c a
pound to profits made by exploiting
American labor to the limit.

Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana is
the dominant corporation in the coun-
try's beet sugar industry. It's profit
amounts to $144O on each S25 share
Of common stock, or about IS per
cent Cash dividends are being paid
at the rate Of 80 per cent a year,
Profits From Colonial Slaves.
Sugar companies operating in Porto
Rico, the Philippines and Hawaii will
also be beneficiaries of Coolidge's
little favor. AS these territories are
reckoned as parts of the United
States, their sugar comes in duty
free.
The Central Aguirre Sugar Co.
with plants in Porto Rico affords
glimpse of the profits which these
companies are making out of the
high sugar tariff. Its 1924 profit of
$1,200,369 meant a return of 40 per
cent on its common stock. 1t paid
its stockholders cash dividends total
ing 30 per cent bringing the total
cash distributed in the last years
up to 1882 per cent or more than }
times the entire capital stock.
But Coolidge said nothing about
protecting these millionaire profits.
His ostensible appeal was for the
farmer. He said: 1.-THE farmer is
entitled to share along with manu-
facturers by direct benefits under our
national policy of protecting domestic
industry" He referred to the sugar
tariff of 1.764c a pound as protecting
the American farmer from the
competitive impact of cheap Cuban
labor"

farm families studied by the depart

white farm families in selected regions
in Texas, Tennessee and Kentucky, in

spend as did the whites. Negro family
budgets averaged s611. and white fam
lily budgets $1,4S6. Only 46 per cent

the following letter published In The

San Quentin is California's leading
penitentiary. It has fairly sanitary
accommodations for 800 prisoners, but
contains 2,1O0 at present Since the
first of January it has had new
warden, Mr.. Smith, who spreads
himself in the newspapers as being a
student of "anthropological samotolo-
gy;" also as an efficiency expert who
is going to put the prison on a paying
basis. Although l am a convict in
San Quentin have no personal quar-
rel with Smith. / believe that the
warden is just an average politician.
Guard Murdered Prisoner.
On February is riot occurred in
which an inmate, Tony Hernandez, was
killed. At once the warden caused
about forty men to be locked in the
dungeon. They have been there now
thirty days on bread and water. There
is no evidence against them. On
March 8 some of the men so confined
were taken to bath. One of them,
Wendell Dollar, stopped over to pick
up cigarette butt and a guard shot
him through the back, killing him,
The officer excused himself by saying
that ne thought Dollar was trying to
pick UP a club or rock, and the coro-
ners jury exonerated him. There was
nothing within reach of the prisoner
that he could possibly have used a
weapon, and the guard must have OBJ
served this, as he was only about
thirty foot distant. Men undergoing
punishment are not allowed tobacco

Ie guard still occupies his post, so
n. Smith evidently did not disap-,
prove very strongly.
The new warden revived the prison
bulletin, a. convict publication, and
promised that it should be a shining
example of free press. Prisoners are
not allowed certain radical papers,
which are granted second-class mail
ing privileges by the United States
post Office department, so apparently
there are varieties of free press in
this prison. .Rss

Tubes That Won't Burn Out

Vacuum tubes for radio sets of the
future may have their life prolonged
indefinitely by a new filament which
works at a temperature much lower
than the ordinary bulbs. The mate
rial, which was described by DR..
Irving Langm~- of the General Elec-
trio company, accomplishes its pur-
pose without heating to a glow, and
even in a dark room docs not appear
red under operation. By the addition
of a small amount of thorium, com
bined with several gases, to the tung-
sten used in the tubes, the filament is
made to operate at temperatures far
below the usual danger point, avoiding
overheating to the burning-out stage.
