CALIFORNIA; Jubilee.

10 the DAILY WOhhEh. we, the
new arrivals in this glorious country,
together with the citizens and resi-
dents of this state, were treated to
the splendid spectacle Of the diamond
jubilee in honor of the 18th anniver-
sary Of California's admission to the
union. In spite of all the Bolshe-
visits who preach class division, all
sections of the population took part
in the celebration; hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars were spent, all to
show how the residents of this state
appreciate CALIFORNIA; membership in
the union of states which make up
this glorious republic.
Even the workers, never under
standing their class position, were
drawn by their sover-paid, treacherous
union bureaucracy in the. trail of the
override and fat-bellied money bags,
in order to celebrate the 18th ami
versary of their exploitation by Ameri-
can capitalism and to perpetuate this
exploitation In order to show how

alities which make up the population
of this city, and in oEder to show the
loyalty and attachment of the foreign
groups to the institutions Of their
adopted country, certain well-to-do
elements of the foreign population
formed conspicuous divisions of the
parade. 5 Is
The Bourgeois Line Up.
Whether. the Russian colony was in
vited or not we do not know, but
one thing is certain-the group to
which your correspondent belongs re-
ceived no invitation. 1t is safe to say
however, that the Russian monarch
lists of this lefty got very busy; evil
IDENTIFY approaching the favors they
enjoy in being allowed to wash dishes
and clean out cuspidors in the course
of their janitorial duties; therefore
with the moral support of the city
fathers they managed to organize
black hundred parade.
We must not forget to mention that
the monarchists invited the sectarians
to march with them. (The Russian
sectarians are religious sects, and
form the majority of the Russian col
ony). But when these sectarians, who
were peasants in Russia, and who
are now proletarians, found out that
they would have to march behind the
three-colored flag of the car, they
all refused to have anything to do
with the matter.
Police Interfere.
The Russian branch of the Workers
Party did everything in its power to
Illustrate the attempts of the monarch
lists. 1t was decided that we should
issue leafiet appealing to the Rus
sian colony not to participate in the
parade; but when the leahet was
handed over to the local Russian
printing shop, the printing was for

spite of this prohibition, the Russian
branch got out mimeographed edi-

A week before the celebration, the
held rehearsal in one
OF the parks of the city. The police,
however, had received information
about the activities of the Russian
Bolshevists, and had a detachment of
dicks on the scene, and a double de-
tachment of mounted police and pa
trolmen to do cossack duty, and pro.

the wrath OF the Russian colony
And on the night of the celebration
took these adherents of the late
cars double-headed eagle, under the
protection of their own one-headed
eagle.
Now let us describe the parade
proper. The great demigod of the
parade was ELI Murometz. Following
him were half a dozen great dray
horses pulling a dray with a strange
load. The load consisted of dozen
boyarin- Russian noblewomen-- and
an immense double-eagle made Of
