never said to anybody that he should
refuse to obey when called up for
military service, much less made
public appeal to that effect Such
an utterance on my part would have
been inconsistent with my attitude
towards the war before and after
the strike.
/ DISTINCTLY recollect that at a ses-
/ sion of the S. d. party committee
at that time the question was raised
from another side, of whether punt
i've commands to join the army should
be obeyed or not. We were unani-
mously of the opinion that, should
there be any indication that workers
would refuse to obey when called up,
this tendency should be decidedly
combatted. l also distinctly recollect
that informed the then chairman Of
the general commission of the trade
unions, Bauer, of the views of the
party leaders on this subject. Bauer
declared himself in agreement with
me. M < s.s

Philanthropy: Where
the Money Comes From
BY MARTIN p. MoRRIsLY.

JOLIET, ILL.,, Feb. 2O.-Here is
a picture of capitalism in action
that is real food for thought for
every child Of the working class.
On Jan. rs, 1925, the school
board voted to abolish three kin
dergarten classes and to stop the
feeding daily of 80 undernourish-
ed boys and girls. In steps our
kind benefactor, Mr.. Theodore
Gerlach, owner of one of the cOun-
try's largest calendar-making fac
tories. He publicly announces that
he will donate $1,1O5 to continue
the feeding of poor children each
day. And all the church-going peo-
pie pray for his soul that he may
fly right into heaven when he
dies.
But Communists are different.
They investigate. And here is the
dope on Theodore Gerlach.
In Gerlach's factory is employed
the sister of one of the poorly fed
kindergarten tots. This girl is
sixteen years of age and every day
she works in this factory to help
support a big family of brothers
and sisters. Her job is painting
little cards for which up to Feb. 9
she was receiving $1.00 per hun
dred or one cent a card. Then Mr..
Gerlach, the benfactor, ordered a

cut in wages. So now she gets only
80 cents a hundred. His reason is
that one highly skilled worker in
a test case of two weeks contin-
uous speeding was able to earn
$35 during those two weeks.
Tho this may sound like fiction,
it is the real truth of capital
list exploitation as Witnessed in
