WHAT THE VAN DUNES BOUGHT

WELL, it sure does seem good to get home again.
Mr.. Brown said to his good wife as he seated him
self comfortably in his big easy chair near the large
standard reading lamp. 1.-TWO months is too much
of a stretch to be away from home and l have served
notice on my firm that l will not make any more
long trips"
Mrs. Brown beamed on her husband with the
smile of a N%ewlywed, well aware that Brown had
often before made the same assertion. The quiet
was broken only by the ticking of the clock and the
continued scratching of Mrs. Browns pen on a long
delayed letter. Brown looked up from his paper
as he questioned, "Who are the Van Dunesi' and
without waiting for an answer continued, 81 see
they have bought the old Ferris place.
Mrs. Brown laid her pen aside. ''The Van Dunes
came to town Just after you left on your South
American trip. They also have a new automobile.
and l see them out in it quite often. They always
have several friends with them. Everyone seems to
think well of them
Brown pulled at his black cigar, settled down in
his easy chair a few inches farther and again picked
up his paper. 81 see "A man by the name of Scran-
ton has bought one of those new cheap contract
houses in that south-en subdivision. Very foolish,
I'd say! lIl bet the Van Dunes bought the old
Ferris place for about the same price Scranton paid
for his new cheap contract house. The Van Dunes
really got something. I'd say the old Ferris place
is worth two of what Stranton got"
Brown yawned and twisted in his chair for a more
comfortable position as Mrs. Brown offered, 'The
Scrantons also have a new, one of the $500 price
class"
Brown grunted, "That's what you'd expect them
to buy isn't it.! III bet a months salary. iudaing
from Van Dunes wisdom in buying the old Ferris
place, that Van Dunes new car is from the used car
department Of the Rawlins Garage Co.
Brown was right. We sold Van Dune his car for
$500; one of our used cars that looks like new; one
that cost originally better than $500; one that will
give double the mileage service of one of the new
cheap cars of the $500 price class.
There are n lot of Van Dunes in Carbon county.
The Scrantons are getting less in number every day.
Our used car bargains are continuous, backed by

| Dear Aunt Madge:
| Now | am going to write a tru,
story, which some of you older one.
| might have read in the papers twenty
| six years ago, at the close of the Span
| ish American war.
All of the troops (Spanish) were or.
dered to headquarters at San Juan by
the Spanish general. Colonel Ping was
with his regiment at Ponce, which is
on the other side of the island a great
many miles from San Juan.
He started very poorly equipped, anG
as the roads were very poor at that
time where there were any, the troops
suffered great hardship. Some of the
men died, and others dropped out, and
they became so weak from hunger
and exposure that they were obliged to
throw away what little of equipment
they had. Finally, Colonel Ping ar
rived in Aricebo camp. after days of
hardship. with a few men in a pitiful
condition. He was very Respondent,
and the next morning he arose very
early dressed himself. put on all of the
insignia of his rank, and taking his
saber and revolver. went out on the
shore and shot himself through the
head There they found him, his left
hand grasping the saber, which was
stuck in the ground, and in his right
hand the revolver.
According to the rules of the church,
a suicide could not receive Christian
bury him. A place was found between
he,
night before. There they dug a hole
and threw him in.
This colonel had very dear friend
in San Juan, who, all the years since,
has worked hard trying to get permits
sion from Spain to have the body ex-
humed and taken to Spain for prop
err burial. Finally he succeeded.
Then the question came up as to
where to find the body. Some one told
of the two negroes. If they could be
found, the rest would be easy. They
at last found one of the men, but he
was over 100 years old and his mind
was impaired. After giving him good
nourishing food. his memory came
back enough so that he went with
them and pointed out the place The
body was identified by the insignia of
rank buried with it.
Now | am coming to what | saw,
and the end. as far as Porto Rico is
concerned. On the first day of Octo-
Der, 1924, the body was brought to
Plaza Colon and placed in front of the
Christopher Columbus monument, with
the Spanish colors waving, and covered
with beautiful flowers. All of the hon
ors We're given him that We're due, al
though the talk was all in Spanish,
which | could not understand. Then
the casket was placed in little army

BY HEINZ SCHROEDER.

THE Workers Party is now in a
L lively discussion over the G. e. G..
(majority) thesis on the immediate
tasks of our party. Shall we raise
the slogan Of (class) farmer-labor
party or not? The majority say mo"
and the minority say "yes."
What are the conditions that justify
the use of farmer-labor slogan? Are
the conditions in existence or not?
say the conditions are not in exist
ence, politically. Even the minority
thesis states that the La
Toilette movement had developed in
definite form :" and established
it's leadership over the far
mer-labor forces which stood for a
class party :" Then will the
slogan of a farmer-labor party auto
matically separate the farmer-labor
forces from the LaFollette illusions?
The minority thesis states that it will.
1.-THE political alliance of the trades
union bureaucracy with the petty
bourgeoisie will make the slogan Of
a farmer-labor party an entering
wedge between the working masses
and their treacherous leaders" Note
that the slogan will make an
entering wedge :" and destroy
the LaFollette illusion in the work
ing masses.

OPEN LETTER TO COMRADE FOSTER

have criticized them in the majority
thesis, without daring to mention
them by name. And your criticism is
correct, when Comrade Jampolsky, in
dustrial organizer of New York, de-
clares that we "do not want a united
front with the takers in the Central
Trades and Labor Council" and that
sit is not so important for our COM
rades to take the floor in the c. T. l..
c." then he reveals complete ignor-
ance of one aspect of our industrial
work. When Comrade Zimmerman,
industrial organizer for the eastern
districts, declares that we can take
the floor at central body only when
we are strong, then he demonstrates
that he has not the courage of Com
munist.
You are justly ashamed Of this
group, Comrade Foster, but this is
the type of comrades who are sup
porting your political policy and rep
resent you in the industrial work.
But the local and district leaders,
and the local comrades who are do
ing the active, militant work among
the masses, do not side with you.
They are in rebellion against your
methods of eternally negotiating with
the local and national leadership of
the unions, of considering it Commun-
list work merely to get resolutions put
across and to capture offices in the
unions. They consider Communist
work the building up of our leader
ship among the rank and file of put
ting the T. U. e. L. on a firm organ
national basis, and thus forming the
only foundation for our Communist
activity.
The overwhelming majority of the
comrades who helped to form the
Communist movement and commun-
list Party in the United States, who
have had training in Communist
