by Mrs. c. Beeckman-
Procedure At Wedding
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
If the bride is to wear veil,
ETC.. may the bridegroom wear
business suit if the wedding IL to
take place in the late afternoon?
(2) Is only blue serge bust
ness suit for the bridegroom per.
MISSILE or may he wear black
with a pin stripe?
(3l May a married man act
as best man?
az If the bridegroom had prev
iously acted as best man for his
brother, is it customary for him
to reciprocate and ask the mar
ried brother to act in that capac-
ity for him?
(5) Should not the best man,
ushers and father of the bride
follow the example of the bride
groom in dress?
(6) There are to be two brides
maids, my sister and a very close
friend. Is 1t necessary to diff
ferentiate and call one a maid OF
honor" and the other a brides
maid!
~ II they are regarded as just
bridesmaids" how should they
proceed down the aisle of the
church, together or singly. pre-
ceding the bride? FIR
NOR the bride to be formally
II dressed and the bridegroom to
be informally dressed is incor-
rect. 1t gives very queer ell
feet. Either the bridegroom
should plan to wear formal
clothes GETAWAY coat and dark
striped trousers), or the bride
should modify the plans for her
wedding.
(2) There is no difference in
these varities of informal clothes.
Both are incorrect for a formal
wedding.
90 Yes, it is proper and correct
for a married man to act as best
man. Nowadays no distinction is
made between unmarried and
married people for attendants.
either for the bride or Tor the
bridegroom.
az 1t is customary for the
bridegroom to invite his brother
the brother is married.
90 Yes.
So 1t is not exactly necessary
to differentiate between the honor
of the position to be given to
your sister and the position given
10 your friend, but 1t is custom
airy to do this. However. this is
entirely a matter of your own
choice and is to be decided only
by you.
~ If your sister is to be maid
Of honor. she would walk alone,
gust ahead of you, and your
friend should walk alone just in
front Of her. with the ushers lead
ing the professional. If they are
both TO be bridesmaids, they
should walk together before you.

Scientific Topics Of Popular
Interest.

nN the 18th of June the cen
" tenary of the discovery of
benzene by Michael Faraday was
celebrated at the Royal Institu-
ton in London where the great
philosopher worked out his dis
coveries. In the conmemoration
address Professor Fl. e. Arm
strong said:
The discovery of benzene will
always rank as one of the most
fundamental discoveries of chem
istry. If not the entire hub, Of
the organic section of our chem
ical universe, it is at least the
major part thereof. Our edifice
in fact has two foundation stones,

which can be extended end 'essly,
as links are in a chain; the other

the diamond and associated sym
metrically with six atoms Of
hydrogen.
This latter we call benzene.
1t is in fact, just a bit of dia-
mof4d, mounted and preserved in
hydrogen, as though this were
aspic. The beauty of the dia,-
mond, however, is as nothing
compared with that of benzene
in the eyes Of it's many mis-.
tresses"
Professor Armstrong; sym.

Is justified by it's relation to
color. AS he says. benZene only

CARPENTERS WIN
WAGE INCREASE
IN WASHINGTON
Raise Follows Strike of
the Painters

WASHINGTON. July 5.-A wage in
crease of so cents day for all MEM
bers of the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters & Joiners in the District
Of Columbia will take effect July 6
and continue until May, 1925. This
raise was granted after negotiations
which were ignored by the anti-union
Operative Builders organization. 1t
follows the defeat of the anti-union
forces in the strike Of the Painters
union membership and the signing up
of the bosses for increased wages for
the Plumbers and Steamfitters.
The carpenters wage now becomes
$3.50. The union agreement provided
that the carpenters should get SO I'M

meanwhile granted to other building
crafts. The carpenters benefited by

White Collar pubs Easy Prey

No police we're needed to end the
white-collar strike of Chicago's city
engineer and his 57S associates who
walked out June 80 for an announced
3-day layoff The strikers demanded
an immediate and long overdue wage
raise. Mayor Dever applied a liberal
dose of sympathy and persuaded them
to go back to work on the second day.
Aldermen added a heartfelt expression
of the justice of the demands and sent
the ordinance for raise to slumber
in committee, presumably until the
1926 appropriations are considered.

of the state. These coal miners are
very poor from their long seige of
unemployment and hardships brought
on by the betrayal of the Lewis ma
chine and the open shop" drive of
the coal operators.
The collection went for DAILY

miners filled them out. A large num-
Der of miners from the Kansas coal
fields were present at the picnic.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, July 5.LThe
first open air meeting this season
on the Central Green from the Band
stand conducted by the Workers party
took place here Saturday night. Sew.
eral hundred workers listened care
fully to the speech of Oliver Carlson
on the subject Hands off China"
He traced the curse of opium, and
the exploitation of the Chinese work
ingmen, women and children for pro-
fits of imperialist countries. 1t was
a speech full Of facts, presented in an
interesting manner The audience
was well satisfied, and was in agree.
ment with the views expressed by the
speaker.
The question period proved exceed
ingly interesting Questions on Russia
came thick and fast, which Comrade
Carlson was able to answer well, be-
cause of his several trips to Russia,
and the many years spent there, as
well as in other countries of Europe.
A socialist party member, real es-
tate dealer came to grief when he
complained among other things that
there was no free speech in Russia,
and then refused to give the speaker
a chance to answer his question. He
went off, the audience applauding his
exit.
Comrade Simons was chairman Of
the meeting.

to the violation of discipline, in fail
ing to carry out c. E. c. decisions on
the part of the majority of the South
Slav bureau.
The c. c. c. endorses the action
of the G. E. G. in declaring that the
Fisher-Mikalachky group is a healthy
Communist group and must be given
full opportunity to do work for the
South Slav Federation.
THE attitude of the Novak group in
following a policy of persecution and
exclusion of the Fisher ikalachky
group from responsible work in the
federation is to be condemned.
More important yet, is the action
of the G. E. C. in calling attention
to.and checking the strong tendency
toward federation autonomy on the
part of the Novak group. Especially
will such an attitude on their part, if
continued, tend to prevent reorganiza-
ton on an international branch and
shop nuclei basis among the South
Slavs.
The city central committee will
fully support the central executive
committee in the fight against the
decentralizing and disintegrating
tendencies of federation autonomy"

Los ANGELES, July SIN a local
paper is letter from one S. Garborg,
in which he tells about some of his
experiences trying to obtain citizen

class and on being invited to ask
questions asked the following: Can

After class Kelso told Garborg he
had noticed he was given to "theo-
rizing" and advised him to lie more
diplomatic. The letter goes on: "Oh

OPERATORS IN
VIOLATION OF
The AGREEMENT
Force Wage Reduction
with Unemployment
BY LEONARD
Worker Correspondentl

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 5.-The
threat of wage cut in the well-known
Monongahela branch of the western
Pennsylvania coal mining district has
now gone into effect AS usual the
district officials are doing nothing to
stop it.
In the important branch of no less
than fourteen mines only two are
working. One of them is working
three days a week, and the other one
only two. This can give the reader
an idea of the extent of unemploy-
ment with due suffering of the miners
and their families in this region.
Besides, the miners often have to
return from the mines and lose even
these few days, because the COM
pany prefers to have dead work"
done by special day men, whose
wages it is easier to reduce, than to
have it done by the leaders at reg
ular day rate.
Operators Violate Agreement.
At Stockton, for instance, miners
have lately been compelled to do such
work as dismantling mines, tearing
down tipples, moving props and ma
chimes, ETC., for as low wages as Acc
per hour. For inside work they were
allowed $500 a day tho the agreement
calls for $3.50 a day. Outside work
calls for at least $6.10 day.
Walter Astle, one of the militant
miners in Stockdale, was recently Of
fered this inside work for $500. Attic
hard up and badly in need of work, he
Indignantly refused this as being
against his principles as union man.
He reported the incident to the district
office of the union, where he was told
by the high officials, that they cannot
do anything, that the union has no
power" etc.
Why the Weakness?
The question is, then, what is the
cause of this weakness of the union
The policy of the officials has always
been carried out, in spite of opposi-
ton. The main part of this policy, as
often expressed by Pat Pagan, presi-
dent of the district, is to peacefully
cooperate with the coal operators to
produce cheap coal"

Arrest Is Made In
Collecting for the
Irish Famine Victims

NEW YORK, July 5.-David Brown
member of the Young Workers
League, and voluntary collector for
the Irish famine suffers, was arrested
on Saturday. June 81, and committed
to Jail without bail. On Tuesday night,
hes was sentenced to Is days in the
workhouse.
An Irish society, interested in keep
ing information about the famine Of
the Irish workers and peasants from
the United States, prosecuted the case.
The young comrade was arrested in
the streets, before he had collected
any amount of money. But the friends
of suppressing the idea of solidarity
between the American workers and
their Irish brothers was too strong in
the breasts of some of the Irish ele-
ments of this city. The young COM
rade is Communist and the authori-
ties are determined to connect his ac-
tivities in behalf of the starving Irish
workers with his political concepts.
The court went even further. 1t
has ordered an Investigation of the
Irish Workers and Peasants Famine
Relief Committee, contending that IL
is not a bonafiide organization-and
is conducting a bunco game" The
Irish Workers and Peasants Famine
Relief Committee welcomes this in
vestigation, since it will be proven
that this committee is the only one
that has made any attempt in the
United States to get help to the starv-
ing Irish workers and peasants.

Famine Relief Committee intends to
fight the case.
