perfect methods of diplomacy are be-
ing used side by side with the former
methods of force and terror.
THE English high commissioners
l. for Egypt and Palestine are be-
ing exchanged. The resignation Of
Lord Allemby in Egypt and his re-
placement by George Lloyd, the for
mer governor of Bombay, signifies,
as has been remarked in the Arabian
press, that the English government
circles are trying to cover the iron
hand of the policy carried out by
them in Egypt, with a velvet glove.
The replacement of Sir Herbert Sam
uel in Palestine by Lord Plumer is
regarded in English political circles
as a preventive measure for possible
political complications in the Near
East. According to the opinions ex-
pressed by the leaders OF the Zionist
movement, Plumer's appointment sig

efforts to subject Ibn Saud, the strong
est aspirant to a united Arabia, to her
influence.
LNNGLlSH diplomacy is at the same
- time making efforts to adjust the
delicate factors in the relations be-
tween England and Turkey. The in
surrection in Kurdistan gave the gov
erment of Angora the opportunity Of
concentrating, considerable forces on
the borders Of Mosul; this threatened
to bring about military solution Of
the Mosul question. If Turkey should
not be satisfied by the decision of the
League Of Nations. II is character
istic that the examination OF the
Mossul question in the League Of
Nations Council which had been fixed
for the month of June, is now post
poned until the September session
in order to give the parties the oppor-
tunity OF coming to an agreement.
In the meantime English capital
openly renounces the actual boycott
OF Turkey which was imposed by the
treaty Of Lausanne, and is ahead OF
all other countries in the economic
conquest Of Turkey. Last year, among

the Juniors always enjoy themselves
when out together on a picnic.
At our last c. c. c. we decided to
give a big concert on Sunday Nov.

This means lot OF work for the
Juniors but also lot of fun. We know
that funds are needed for the upkeep
of the Cooperative Building. SO we de-
cided to give all the proceeds of this
affair for the Cooperative Bldg.
School Nuclei Next Job
Since the Juniors we're organized,
there have been no changes in our
groups. However, an important change
is going to be brought about now. AS
it is, the Juniors in L. A. are organized
into groups, such as A. B. c. and d.
Now We are are going to be classified
into School Nuclei, and in that way
we can be in closer daily contact with
the different schools. We are sure
that such an arrangement will be de-
cidely better than the one we have
been following all along.
All our meetings are open to visit
ors, and we urge everybody to come.
Children between the ages of 8 and Is
are especially welcome. We meet
every Tuesday and Wednesday at the

Plenty Of Atmosphere"
For weeks 1t was announced that
no reservation could be secured for
Labor Day, as all available room was
reserved long before, but that did not
stop twice the number of workers
from coming out. Food was provided
for all and all the available space

Unlike the bourgeoisie, the workers
were glad to house new corners in
their tents. Then, of course, there
is the Nit-Gedaiget Barn. 1t may be

really never enjoyed vacation and
the true working class spirit, until
you try the Nit-Gedaiget Barn. Once
you get that barn-yard spirit, you'll
never be the same.
A grand concert was given in the
newly built dance hall and dining
hall and after the ball was over, about
two hundred workers struggled into
the Nit-Gedaiget Barn.

Feeding More Than a Thousand.
Regardless of rank, by a severe
method of Consumption, the hash
singers are modified. During the
course of a meal, Jack Jampolsky,
famous for his party thesis, picks out
the walters who are to serve the food
the following day. Jack Jampolsky
turns out expert walters after one
hours training. He has to go thru
this formality one hour before each
meal, because new recruits serve
each meal time.

A fire alarm siren, that can be
heard for miles, calls in the work
vacationists. They don't have to be
called long, for they can be seen hang

the walters in training.
The portions are very generous and
the workers eat with gusto. From

that rye bread, potatoes, and herring,
are the three most popular dishes.

THAT was not the end of his troub-

himself and some of the under sher-
riffs at the jail, and hardly had he
disposed of the last ginger ale high
ball when the ku klux khan got hold
of the news and began to make head
lines. The sheriff and the police
swear that they are not responsible
for the leak, but Terry is undecided
whether to remove Hoffman and Col
Inns or not. An inauiring reporter
came to the Jail to learn whether
Druggan was the Jailed or the Tailor.
He was carried away on stretcher

cured when the reporter made his APP

to call up achievements in the form

back down, there may be a hot time

THIS proves nothing except that a

land, and tickling the gills of the

County Jail, several business agents
of the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers were being finger-printed, bullied,
grilled and generally abused on the
mere suspicion of having interferred
with some nonunion employers. And
the abuse was being heaped upon
them by the very police who hail
