SCREEN IN YOUR PORCH
Glass Enclosure Makes Room for All
Year Easily,

If you want room added to your
home, why not have the porch
glassed in or screened? A screened
or glass-enclosed porch makes an
ideal breakfast room. 1t is a most
convenient place for the family IRON
ing in summer. If it is glassed to
keep out the cold and an electric
heater Installed. the porch makes a
perfect winter sun room.

Stamping Out Vice.
(9) Every effort is being made to
improve the moral life of Russia.
Prostitution, gambling and other
vices are being rapidly eliminated by
educational effort and drastic state
regulations.
(10) BY the creation of workers
clubs, rest houses, sport and physical
centers, trade union organizations are
securing for their members trade I'M
ion benefits and an addition to real
wages, which is much appreciated.
Many other important changes will
be referred to and dealt with in the
report, which will contain the neces-
sary information to justify the trade
union and labor policy supporting the
full diplomatic and economic recog-
milton of Russia.
The report will also prove that mil
lions of new capital could be properly
and safely invested in the develop
ment of the enormous economic posi-
bilities of Russia, and fully justify the
claim made on behalf of British labor
that Russia, under Soviet rule, has so
far improved the material and moral
conditions of its people as to have
now earned a permanent place among
European nations.

funds for the same purpose. We have

is as follows:
Gentlemen:-Your appeal in behalf
the consumptive stricken received.
With all due credit to your human
itarian efforts, we cannot refrain
from sharply protesting your commun-
ication for not carrying the union
label-the safest protection against
consumption; for its being printed in
an open Shop" under conditions of
work producing consumption.
You are undoubtedly aware of the
fact that the real and only aim of the
so-called American Plan" or the
open Shop" is to suppress and de-
stroy the fighting organizations of
American labor; to check the resist
ance power of the American worker
and to crush the fighting spirit Of the
producer Of all wealth. It's "plan" is
to institute the cruel system of ex.
IRENE and unrestricted exploitation of
the American worker rendering him a
helpless and hopeless slave in the
grind mill Of poverty, misery, degreda-
ton and disease for himself and un-
limited wealth and luxury for his
greedy exploiter.
We do know the truth Of all these
facts from recent experience. We are
struggling presently under the ruins
OF an unsuccessful strike for IA weeks
against the shameful plots OF the
open shoppers" TO rob the meager
means of our bare existance; against
their efforts to crush our spirit OF
liberty and independence and to de-
stroy our only hope and protection

Compromise Bill for
Postal Clerks Raise
May Get Thru Senate
Especial to The Daily workerj

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE SEN
ate will probably pass the Moses bill
raising the pay of postal employees
and at the same time increasing the
rates Of postage M. T. Finnan, secre.
tary of the National Association of
Letter Carriers announced here today.
Finnan together with Senator McKin-
Icy conferred with Coolidge yesterday
about the bill. Coolidge indicated
that he would not veto the measure
as he did with the bill passed by the
last congress which aimed at increas-
ing the wages Of the postoffice slaves.
The Moses bill in its sections deal
ing with postoffice wages is a compro-
mise Of the bill which was vetoed. II
gives only part of the increases asked
by the postal workers. Officers of the
various postoffice workers organiza.
tons are boosting the bill on the
theory that it is the best they can
hope to get.
