AmsterdamerS Nervous

1t is amusing to observe the antics of the Amster
damers when any of their number appears to be,
by reason of wide rank and file pressure, driven
over to the left enough to make speeches with
a class struggle, not to say Communist, tone.
The executive of the Amsterdam international
met at that city on December 1, while the cables
were burning with the news from Moscow that the
British labor delegation, visiting the Sixth All
Russian Congress of Labor Unions at Moscow, had
imbibed of the Bolshevik atmosphere and were in
both speech and writing hailing the Soviet gov
eminent as the hope of the world and the citadel
of working class emancipation.
The British delegation, it must be remembered,
was headed by Purcell, who is also the president of
the Amsterdam International, and who was leading
the hurrah in Moscow for everything he saw in the
land of proletarian dictatorship.
The remaining members of the Amsterdam or
ganization, huddled under the wing (the right
wing) of Jouhaux and Oudegeest in the little sea-
port of Holland, looked at one another in amaze
ment and CONSERVATION. ''What bug had bitten
Purcell? The British will bring ruin upon us all"
Thus we conceive the thoughts of the nervous
reformists at the seduction of their president by
the willy Bolsheviks.
But as Losovsky of the Profntern says, ''When-
ever there is particularly dirty piece of business
to do, the Amsterdamers assign Oudegeest to the
job" Oudegeest is the most able reactionary of
the three secretaries of the Amsterdam Interna-
tional So, in his secretarial capacity Oudegeest
made up the press report which goes to all the
world, telling of what the Amsterdam executive
thinks of such goings on. And this is what we find
on page one of Press Report 40:
'fWith regard to the attitude of Purcell in Rus
STA, it was pointed out in the discussions of the
executive that Purcell did not go to Russia as
representative of the I. F. T. U. Amsterdam In
ternationa), and that therefore he is only person
ally responsible for his utterances in or about
Russia"
Again, on page two we find the following dis
claimer of any 'unoffcial' conversations between
Purcell and the Russian unions regarding the burn
ing question of world unity of all labor unions:
''The president of the I. f. T. u, A. A. Purcell,
who is at present in Russia leader of the delega-
ton of British trade unions to that country, has
on several occasions spoken of the relations be-
tween Amsterdam and Moscow, and in the press
these speeches have been connected with the nego-
tiations between the l. F. T. u. and the Russian
trade unions 1t is obvious that the negotiations
with Moscow are conducted by the Amsterdam
executive exclusively on the basis of the Vienna
resolutions and that no definite resolution can be
taken before the meeting of the 1. f. T. u general
council, which has been fixed for the beginning of
February"
Thus does Oudegeest rescue the fair name of
Amsterdam and wash his hands of responsibility
for the Amsterdam president who appears afflicted
with the "virus of Moscow"
But the masses continue to go left

BOOKING SCHOLARS

The Board Of Education at it's
meeting adopted a resolution au-
thorizing the suspension of any
boy who cones to school smell
ing of liquor, or who brings liq-
uor onto school property.
This is at it should be. Obe-
dience to law is the first duty of
the citizen and when boys learn
that infraction Of the prohibition
law will bar them from all school
activities a better condition will
prevail. Just now there is a
type of boy and girl who think
it. smart to take a drink, not
fully realizing how wrong it is.
Were the schools to tolerate such
conduct, decentralization must
enSue.
The Board of Education is to
be commended, and the school
authorities will be if they en-
force the order to the letter.

IN THE SPIRIT OF
CHRISTMAS

Christmas Day brings us the
consciousness that whatever our
personal animOSities may be,
whatever the strife between na-
tions = merely neighbOrhood
4uarrels greatly magnified-
there is this sublime occasion
devoted to peace and good will.
It's spirit is the lamp which
lights to higher life; it's influ-
ence largely supports civiliza-
ton and prevents lapse into
barbarity.
Christmas spirit means Chris
tian spirit. In testing it's effect,
one has only to reflect upon the
positions of races, the most ad-
vanced being those Of Chrsten-
dom. China, the oldest entity
among peoples, has an admirable
occasion upon which the citizens
strive to liquidate all their
debts. 1t is a national pay-up
day, and in spirit somewhat re-
sembles our Christmas. In ia
pan they have an annual event
somewhat like our New Years
celebration, during which the
people go about expressing good
will and promoting good cheer.
But Christmas has a more ele-
waiting effect than either, ic
that it not only typifies peace
and good will, but carries the
essence of unselfishness and
pure love, the most common eX-
preston being the bestoWal of
gifts. When the Christmas in
fluence gains to the point that
its spirit shall permeate the al
fairs of every day in the year,
the millennium will have arrived.
We have this day, and if we
mar not its ideal it's leaven will
produce other days of the kind.
In the making of a labor paper
we have an opportunity to view
the many forces operating upon
the character Of humanity. We
see the good and bad, the sim
cere and insincere, the selfish
and unselfish. We believe the
leaven Of good is more active
than that of the opposed forces.
II we have been able to assist
the right, much has been due to
your cooperation and we cav
nestly solicit a continuation Of
the same. Our Christmas greet
ing to you is one of optimism,
good cheer and hearty good
wishes.

less course with the prodigality
Of a drunken sailor.
Just the other day when a
bunch Of our cops had a num-
Der of desperate thugs and sup
posed burglars cornered in a
hotel office, four were permitted
to walk out while the valient
officers had their eagle eyes
glued on one lone bird.
Next day one of the suspects
who escaped was picked up in
Columbus and subsequently
three more have been gathered
in at Buffalo.
1t is said our mayor, Overstep-
ping the authority of the chief
Of police, detailed two officers to
journey after and bring them
back to the town from which
they were permitted to escape
after they had been safely cap
tured.
Now the expenses connected
with the trip after these sus-
pected men will probably not be
more than five or six hundred
dollars, but then you know every
dollar counts, and it looks as if
we'll need a few extra iron men

of our fiscal year, or we'll go

Some division of opinion exists
with respect to the practice of using

the financial statement should be re-

nous in the belief that adoption of
these standard forms and their appli-
cation as may be preferred by con.
struction agencies will go far toward
removing irresponsible and dishonest
concerns from public construction.
Among the significant benefits to
be derived from a standard form are:
The ease with which reliable informa-
ton can be exchanged by public Of
hcials, and the saving of time and
expense to- construction companies
who bid on the work in many diff
ferent departments. Uniformity in
financial statements is considered es-
pecially important, not only because
of the economy factor, but also be-
cause of it's influence in encouraging
uniform and adequate accounting
among construction companies
