entered and he followed. In the room
were seated around the long table the
group OF juniors. Each one talked of
the working class daily struggles.
Around the room were many pictures
OF revolutionary leaders such as Marx.
Engels, Lenin and Lebknecht. These
were new to him. Ernest became very
interested and for the next two weeks
ne could be seen In there. He became
acquainted with the Russian revolu-
ton and learned Of how the workers
had taken over the factories, schools
and all enjoyment for the workers.
Ernest was now familiar with the
great revolutionary leaders and had
become a member of this group. In
a few weeks Ernest had become one
of the most active members in the
group. At the next demonstration
Ernest could be seen at the head of
the group with his white waist, red
chief and red flag waving high in the
air. He was singing wildly for at last
he had found real working class
party who would lead the workers in
their struggles.-Albert Glotzer.

willing to work 10 days a week, were
it possible. And he is not to be
blamed 1t is the universal rule Of
self-preservation. To fight for his
existence the worker would do any
thing, even slave without a cessation.
With the wages indicated above life
in this world is very miserable one.
Many of the workers have whole fami-
lies to support with these wages
hence their willingness to keep on
shaving for a pittance for themselves
and the products of their toll and
blood for the capitalist Moloch.
The living conditions of the Gary
workers are as one could imagine with
the wages already indicated. The
average workers residence" rather
resembles a den for animals. A few
broken pieces of furniture is all that
the woker could claim as his own.

THIS Is all the Gary worker gets In

to keep him alive. He works and
slaves like an animal, nay, even hard
er, he works as if he were part of
a machine. Sometimes it is hard to
tell which is the human worker and
which is the machine. And sometimes
when a woeful sound is heard it is
hard to tell If it is the human worker
or the hammer that fell.
How fitting it would be to hang up

ETIQUETTE
by FLO,

Dear Miss Flo:
There has always been Il doubt in
my mind as to whether or nW i
should speak first TO an older person,
or wait for the older person to speak
to me. Also who should be the first
t. speak when an unmarried lady
meets a married lady, and who should
be the first to speak when two young
people meet. near he same age.
Will you kindly advise me. E. X.
When a younger person meets an
older person, the younger person
should wait fer the older person to
speak, When an unmarried woman
and n MARI ed woman meet, the
greeting invariably comes from the
married woman first. When two young
people meet there should be a certain
degree of spontaneity N the greeting
which eliminates any question re-
garding who should speak first.
