yey and the present American am
bassador at London, Mr.. kellogg. The
latter gave dinner to the king OF
England, not that the king needed 1T,
but Kellog is leaving for the United
States to take over Charles Hughes
Job and he thought it only proper that
he should show the king what a
yankee could do in or around the court
of Saint James.
THE women who wore tight shoes
were not pleased because the king
did not sit down after he rose from
the dining table Because the king did
not sit nobody else did If the king
had sported pair of bunions, chiro-
podists would go out of business, such
is the devotion of our American paras-
ties in England to royalty. Bunions
would become as popular as cross
word puzzles are now.

Engineers and chairman of the man.
aging board of the scab Coal Rivers
Galleries company has called con-
ference of the chief executives of the
sixteen standard railroad labor organ
izations, to take place in Chicago on
February 20, the day prior to the con-
vention of the conference for progress
sive political action. Stone was one
Of the founders of the C. P. p A. but
it appears that he is not very proud
of his offspring. The announced in
tention of the meeting is in Stones
words: "for the purpose Of defining
and outlining their position in so far
as their further activities and con-
nection with the conference for pro-
gressive political action are concern
ed" The prospects are not very
bright for the poor G. P. P. A. 1t

in return for their self sacrifice in
burying the socialist party.
THE scandal epidemic In Germany
gathers strength. Otto Bauer,
socialist leader and first chancellor Of
the German republic is kicked igno-
miniously out of the reichstag be-
cause Of his involvement in the Bar
met scandal Another scandal has
been unearthed in the post Office. A
leak of $15,00O,00O took place under
the Marx-Stresemann regime. The in
dustrialists are accused of forcing the
government to turn over the gigantic
sum of $5OO,0O0,OOO to them while the
passive resistance war took place in
The Ruhr.
THIS at time when the workers
were toiling one extra hour for
nothing in order to carry on the fight
against Poincare. There is more
trouble in store for the industrialists
and for the social democrats who
stood by them against the Com
munists, the only elements that sup
ported the workers against the coal
and steel barons.
THE capitalist papers all over the
world thought they saw in the
controversy between Trotsky and the
central committee of the Communist
Party, the beginning of severe crisis
in the Soviet government. But despite
the services of their stoolpigeons they
do not yet realize what highly dis
ciplined organization the Communist
Party of Russia is. II is the party
that forms the government by the
mandate of the workers and pea
SAINTS.
XHIHEN Trotsky lost the confidence
wv Of the Communist Party, as the
Soviet Union Review points out, his
offer of resignation from his position
as president Of the revolutionary war
council was accepted. But he is still
a member Of the Communist Party,
and the entire party. which has over
half a million members supported the
central committee OF the party so
Fundamentally that the counter revo-
lutionary hope of a split in the Com
munist Party has gone glimmering.
