This book should be invaluable for
either persons or groups who get out
publicity in behalf of labor causes. It
lists the names and addresses of some
500 labor papers published in the
United States and Canada and gives a
list of labor papers published in other
countries.
In addition to the names and adj
dresses it gives information on the
editor and publisher, size, frequency
OF publication circulation figures
where available and other information
interesting to labor editors and pub
licity workers.
Hitherto the only way of getting
data on labor papers was from lists
compiled by individuals and often I'M
reliable and out of date. If you or
your organization gets out publicity
for labor papers this book will be a
valuable tool. 1t may be ordered thru

Iour state was always overwhelmingly
a personal affair centering in Robert
Marion LaFollette-its heart fell out
when Bob died."
After all the Communists were right
that this movement was personal
movement not based upon the organ
lied strength of the workers, who had
nothing to say about policy or plat
form. The story told to the workers
of the state sounded quite different
before the election
Then Victor was busy slamming
the Communists for daring to appeal
to the workers for support to the only
candidates of the working class and
running on definite class program
the candidates of the Workers Party,
Foster and Gitlow. At the present
time there are many contenders for
the place left open after LaFollette's
death. Governor Blaine, Mrs. LaFol-
lette, Jr, and number of others are
already in the scramble for political
jobs. sa.e ss4e .ot
The question of what the socialist
party is going to do remains to be
seen. 1t is rumored that the socialists
intend to put up ex-Lieutenant Gov
ernor Comings, who is scheduled to
speak together with Debs at the July
10 picnic of the party. 1t is even
rumored that Comings has made ap-
plication to join the socialist party.
Paid Low Wages.
The American socialist party is well
on the road to compete with the
Swedish party of which one of the
princes is said to be member. Vic
tor can soon find" that the better
class" is being converted to socialism.
What is the socialist party doing to
strengthen the weak trade union
movement in the state of Wisconsin
The answer must be: absolutely moth
ing. The city of Milwaukee has a So
called socialist mayor and administra-
ton and still we find that the wages
paid workers in this city rank among
some of the lowest.
1t is indeed sad to listen to the dis
cussion in the Central Labor Council
here, which is controlled by the S. P.
Home rule, high buildings and a num-
Der of other unimportant legislative
reform bills plus label league reports
and few jurisdictional squabbles
constitute the business of that body,
but if questions of international trade
union unity, amalgamation, a labor
party, united front on the Chinese

lens are brought up it is either rid

against the imperialists in China, but
the next day he finds" that after all
the Chinese people cannot yet be
trusted to protect the foreigners and
it is a great question whether they
can govern themselves.
His solution of the problem is that
I'VE good democrats should try to
convince the foreign capitalists not to
be so cruel to the Chinese people. I'm
fortunately the arguments used
against the Chinese workers on strike
are the bayonets and guns. of the inn
perialist powers. The Chinese work
ers and students are tired of turning
the other cheek and have determined
to do some fighting of their own.
They will probably not pay much
attention to the findings" Of Victor
Berger and other socialist paciflsts.
Attacks Soviet Russia.
THE editorial in the Leader entitled,
4 What Moscow Missed" hits the
nail on the head and definitely ex-
poses the socialist party of Wisconsin
and its boss, Victor Berger, as part
and parcel Of the same imperialist
bandits who are now shooting down
Chinese workers and students and
preparing an attack against the only
workers republic in the world-Soviet
Russia.
According to this editorial Moscow
is going to pay for having had the
nerve to expose the treacherous role
of European socialist parties since the
1917 revolution. Lenin made some
wrong calculations, according to this
finding" that instead of exposing the
mensheviks as capitalist tools he
should have united with them and
forget the revolution.
Says the editorial further: by
missing this opportunity and intrigu-
ing against both the capitalists and
the socialists, the Russian Bolsheviks
made enemies of the organized work
ers in Europe as well as the capital
lists" Here Berger let's the cat out
of the bag. The develish Bolsheviks
have dared to make enemies out Of
the capitalist class and their servants
the social traitors and they must be
punished for that crime.
The editorial continues: Now the
international situation is rapidly drift
ing towards an isolation of Soviet
Russia and China by the big powers
and the only ones that can protect
Russia and China, the socialists and
trade unionists of Europe, have learn
ed by bitter experience that they get
no thanks for helping Moscow out of
trouble. In fact many European So
cialists have come to the conclusion
that socialist ideals will be better

Oh you vicious Bolsheviks, why don't
you crawl on your feet to Noske,

rest of the traitors to the working

they are part and parcel.

that Soviet Russia run by the Com
munists, is the best protection and
along with Soviet hussia stand the
Communist Parties all over the world.

caliber you mention have come to the
conclusion that it is De,ser to give up
all socialist ideals and vote for war

ing the fight against them. The work
ing masses of Milwaukee will in due
time learn on which side of the fence
these traitors are and find out that
after all they are nothing but the last
bulwark of capitalism.

A NY worker who belize res that there,
"A is any difference with the socialist
party of Wisconsin and the German
social-democratic party led by Noske,
Scheidemann and Co. (murderers of
Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxem-
burg) both in relation to everyday de-
mands of the workers or in interna-
tional affairs, should follow closely the
editorial policy of the Milwaukee
Leader in relation to these questions.
The Milwaukee Leader, which was
established by the support financially
and morally of the organized labor
movement here, no longer speaks in
behalf of the working class. The
Leader has in fact become the per-
sonal mouthpiece of Victor Berger
and few other traitors to the work
ing class. AS far as the news columns
are concerned there is no difference
between the Leader and the Hearst
scandal sheets. Hardly any news of a
real working class nature finds its way
past the censorship of old Vic. Berger
Instead one can find statements by
oil kings, bankers and steel kings
coming back from Europe and lauding
the efforts of Won Hindenburg in
stabilizing Germany, the near collapse
of Soviet Russia, ETC., all without edi-
torial comment. Such is the order of
the day in. this .so-called socialist
organ" s-, ~ .s.g
Political MuIlisan of Socialist Party.
A FTER the death of Robert LaFol-
\ lette, the socialist party is in bad
pickle. The socialist party in the last
presidential election sacrificed its
last principles of independence and
crept together with all the labor
takers on the LaFollette band wagon.
Berger let's the cat out of the bag in
his findings" in the June % issue of
the Leader, stating: "The socialist
party of our state (which held the
balance of power in both houses of
the legislature) has spent so much
enthusiasm and money to elect La
Toilette that it is still somewhat
weakened"
He states further that The So
called progEessives OF, Wisconsin were
never a party with any definite set of
principles. When LaFolIette started
out on his reform career, he was
simply opposing the railroads and cor
porate wealth on the question of taxa
ton"
1t Had to Die.
HERE Victor Berger admits that the
IL socialist party supported move
ment without principles, but that it
could not help itself. 1t had to die
anyway so whether it died by suicide
or was killed by the lion makes no
difference. He finds" further that,

years was the personal representa-

Early in 1917 Hawks entered the
navy as junior lieutenant and took
charge of the advertising and pub
licity for recruiting and with Blaine
Ewing, then with the George H. Full
Ter Co., promoted and placed in
Union Square New York the well re-

U. S. navy and in this capacity he
served until 1922 in Washington.

rine corps with army of occupation in
Germany where he was attached to
the staff of Maj. Gen. Wendell G..
Neville.
After leaving the service. Hawks
handled the first seasons of the Music
Box for Sam H. Harris and Irving
Berlin and then, wanting to broaden
out his publicity endeavors, formed a
partnership with John WILDER Jen-
kins. former civilian assistant to Sec
retarv of the Navy Josephus Daniels
and now publicity director of the
city of New York. Their first big job
was the publicity and promotion of
the sale of war ships under the dis

Hawks has handled many of the
big events at Madison Square Garden
