years ago the two sisters
0 were running a millinery
store up north"
1t was a good enough store and
they made a good enough living, But
life was a little bit tame. The two
sisters wanted to do things, to fight
real battles in the world Of rea
business.
And SO Shey came to Florida anC
now they're milhonaires!
That, presented briefly, IS the story
Of the sisters Pruitt-or, to be more
precise, of Miss Ethel Pruitt anc
Mrs, Florence Kuehner, her widowed
sister.

The two sisters lived in Columbus

who was devoting his life to perfect

Buffalo, N. Y, and established a mil
linery shop on a larger scale.
This shop did even better. Tn,
price tags on the hats were higher
and they sold more of them. Blu
stiu they weren't satisfied.
I've always wanted to do a man,
work." said Miss Pruitt to Mrs
Kuehner. I'm tired of this ha
business. Let's go to Florida ant
make cities or smething."
And so to Florida they came
landing at Tampa. The first thre,
week they worked for a real estat.
man at $15 q week. And then they
invested their savings and started
In selling for themselves. Within
Two months the monthly income ra1
into four-figures.
And still they weren't satisfied
They wanted to do even bigger
things. Miss Pruitt had her eye or

money to make down payment or

Events in Bulgaria and Bulgarian Social Democracy

to our country 1t is our duty to
give objective CD reports on every
thing that happens. The Bulgarian
government will do its duty; and the
individual parties must do the same.
The central committee of the social
democratic party decided to send
regarding the recent
events in Bulgaria to the bureau of
the Second Internationa, and to ask
for help in the fight against the Boil
shevist peril in the Balkans. The COM
munications will be sent to all the
prominent socialists of the world
AT the same time social democrats
are appointed in all Bulgarian foreign
missions to give information to the
foreign press, to defend the sanguina-
ny Zankov regime and to "refute"
news about the horrible bestialities
practiced on Bulgarian workers and
peasants, which may penetrate into
foreign countries. One of these social
democratic agents of the execuIfoners
at Sofia is the DIR. Tschitschowsky
who is carrying on a controversy"
with Malone in the English press
The real, treacherous nature of the
Second International this agency of
bourgeois reaction in Europe, is now
reflected in the sanguinary deeds of
its Bulgarian section. The treachery
and ignominy of the social democratic
party of Bulgaria crown the counter
revolutionary policy of the Second In
|ternational.

| ago shattered them ideologically and
which uninterruptedly unmasked the
treacherous part played by social de-
mocracy, reached it's extreme limits
and even infected the masses of work
ers and peasants who marched under
the banner of the Communist Party,
as well as the peasants who were
organized in the ranks of the Peas
ants League.
The leaders of the social-democratic
party tsOk part in the military and
bourgeois conspiracy against Siam
buliski's peasant government. They
supplied a minister for the Zankoy
cabinet which came into being as the
result of the overthrow of the govern
ment on June 8, 1923. At the time
when their minister Sakassov was a
member of Zankov's cabinet, the Well
known provocation of September 1928
against the Communists and the work
ling masses of the country was under
taken With their participation and
their active support, the slaughter of
the arrested Communists and parti-
sans Of the Peasants League was or
ganized in September 1923, when
more than 5000 of the workers, peas
ants, teachers, lawyers and other
members of the active intelligentsia,
who had been arrested by the govern
ment, were basely murdered. The So
cial democrats not only consented to
this, but in the maddest way egged on
the government to outalw the Com
munist Party, the Red trade unions
and the workers cooperative associa-
ton Oswoboshdenije." They were
the first to demand the dissolution of
the legal labor party which was then
organized.
WHEN however, under pressure
= from the Second international,
which was alarmed by the exagger-
ated zeal Of Pastuchow, the social de.
mocratic party withdrew it's minister
from the Zankov cabinet, it did not
discontinue its active support of the
terrorist regime. The most provoca-
tory, dastardly and fantastic insinua-
tions. the most insolent calumnies
against the Communists and against
the Soviet Union were found above
all in the press of the social demo-
cratic party.
Shortly before the explosion in the
Sofia cathedral, the social democratic
parliamentary fraction organized, in
connection with the discussion on the
budget OF the ministry for foreign af-
fairs, wild demonstration against
the Soviet Union. Kalfow, the minis
ter for foreign affairs provided cred
it for the Bulgarian mission in Mos
cow and justified it on the grounds
that Bulgaria, too. might at any mo-
Tment be faced by the necessity OF rec
ognizing the Soviet Union. The social
democratic party which had never
raised single word Of protest against

the terror raging in their own country
and against the humiliation of. the
best part of the working masses In
Bulgaria, was reused to indignation
by this paragraph in the budget
strongly protested against the Zankov
government which was preparing for
Bulgaria to enter into diplomatic rela-
lions with the Moscow malefactors."
Ths social democratic parliamentary
traction proposed formal motion for
the removal of the said paragraph
from the budget, but this motion was
rejected by majority of the govern
ment itself.
A FTER the crime in, the Sofia ca
thedral, the military budget was
discussed in parliament of April 23rd.
The social democratic party was of
course as usual "at its post" In it's
name, the social democrat deputy
Tchernookov, declared:
"At the moment when the Bulgar-
ian army is making superhuman ef-
forts to maintain order CID within
the country, the unpleasant task has
fallen to my lot of explaining the vote
of our parliamentary fraction on the
military budget. The civil war
which is being waged at present is no
merely internal affair. The united
front of the illegal conspirators ap-
pears to be tool of foreign powers
In its striving after conquest, Moscow
has found good cooper
ator in the supporters of a united
front ii. e. the Communists and the
members of the Peasants League
Ed and therefore the Bulgarian ar
my is carrying on war which is to
all intents and purposes patriotic,
against the external enemies and their
internal agents who are working in
harmony towards a common end"
"Our place can be nowhere but in
the ranks of the defenders of the ma
ton" C?) (From the central organ
of the social democratic party of
DuA6uAld 4NdAOQ VI ApIll Gtg 1901
At the same time the social demo
cratic leader Pastuchow wrote in the
newspaper "Epocha" of April 2Sth:
with the d-bloodedness of the
most blood thirsty executioner, Mos
COW is using the infiammatory in Bull
garia to set the Balkans and the
whole world in flames, knowing be-
forehand that the first victim of this
eonfagration will be Bulgaria itself.
Now this plan of Moscow is unmask-
ed before the whole world and its
intrigues in Bulgaria will become the
subject of international policy"
THE editor of the "Epocha" on his
L part, hastened to say in the same
number:
Recent events here have created
in Europe great Indignation against
Bolshevism, and mitigated the old
feelings Of hatred against Bulgaria.
This new course is a real blessing
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-06-27

TN letter to the press, Malone, one
of the members of the English del
egation, whose visit to Sofia conceded
with the explosion in the cathedral, in
describing the bestialities of the Sofia
executioners, says:
THE most deplorable thing is
the malignant attitude of the social
democrats towards the CommuA-
lists. Pastuchow, the chief editor
of the social democrat newspaper
'Epocha" and Sakassov, the former
social democrat minister in Fan
kow's cabinet, have published dec
larations stating that they whole
heartedly support the Zankow re-
gime. The social democrats inveigh
against Russia and suspect Mos
cow" of being responsible for every
thing"
AS matter of fact, it is difficult to
imagine anything meaner and more
revolving than the part played by the
Bulgarian social democracy, especially
during the recent sanguinary events
in Bulgaria.
THE Bulgarian social democrats
have already Invested themselves
of the last rag of socialist sense Of
shame and have even surpassed per-
sons like Noske and Horthy's social
decomcratic lackeys. The social dem
Ocratic party in Bulgaria long ago
entered the camp of the bourgeoisie.
AS early as after the split of the old
social democratic party into the mar
row-minded and the 'broad-minded"
socialists in 1903, the latter took their
stand on the opposite side of the bar
ricade in the fight between the prole-
tariat and the bourgeoisie, although
they were still eagerly coqueting with
socialism. In this whole time, and
especially during the war, they active
ly supported the bourgeois parties in
their struggle against the masses Of
workers and twice participated direct
ly in bourgeois governments.
In 1919, when the position of the
oNA5esA A0A OOA 6CO1o1O Was ICITlDly
shaken, and the wave of revolution
threatened to put an end to its rule,
the social democrats were given three
places in the government, and their
leader Pastuchow was even "entrust-
ed" with the ministry of police, so
that he could settle accounts with the
rapidly increasing Communist Party,
and suppress the discomfort of the
masses Of workers and peasants
which was spreading throughout the
country. And the first responsible
person to illtreat the workers and
peasants was none other than the
social democrat minister Pastuchow.
IRON this time EDWARDS, the Bull
1 garian mensheviki openly threw in
their lot with the lot of the bourge-
oisie. Their embitterment against

FUZZ ON THE bl1ULOUS

Premonition Of fuzz on the tongues

that prohibition enforcement Is

do It with something approaching
willingness to be law-abiding. If the

human nature involved in enforce
ment Of any law Is a very influential
factor. There should be proper re-

It appears the vets in Massachu-
