American citizenship. Col. Cody
was an example OF honesty, and
was SO intensely righteous that he
V mistrusted the intentions of
any one else, and in several cases
he was taken advantage of because
of his firm trust in people. How
ever these exceptions did not shake
his faith in humanity. He lived
and loved on, doing charitable and
memorable deeds. He gave freely
and generously; he did not count
twice before giving; his heart went
out with the gifts.
His gifts of goodwill and money
were not the extent of his charity
or service as a citizen, for III his
scouting days he traversed all the
western mountains and plains, and
he gave to America the benefit of
his observations in every possible
manner.
After supplying the construction
crew of the Kansas Pacific railroad
with buffalo meat. thus winning his
title, Buffalo Bill" he continued
to scout until the Sioux war led
him thru Montana and Wyoming.
1t was in Wyoming hat his eyes
fell upon a picturesque territory,
where nature had evaded the tread

Clothing Concern
Tries to Smash the
Granville Unions

GRANVILLE, ILL.,, March rs. = In
this mining town, which is also sur
rounded by mines new factory
building Clothing factory is being
erected.
For the privilege Of putting up this
factory in the town, the manufac-
turers want the citizens to pay for
the factory, and if possible after six
years the manufacturers will try to
pay the money back. The workers
are to be exploited no doubt, when
the factory is finished.
Granville has a main street, bank,
postoffice, depot, and about four
blocks Of stores. and several church
es, but as soon as the young people
leave school it is necessary to go to
other localities to seek work.
An eastern clothing concern is
transferring their factory to this
place, and will likely see that this
place is not molested by unions.

NEGROES BARRED
FROM BUILDING
IN new ORLEANS
Must Stay Within Own
District

NEW ORLEANS, La, March 25.-
An ordinance passed by this city de-
finitely forbidding a Negro to build
or occupy home in any section OF
the city where a majority Of the peo-
pie are white, has been upheld as con-
stitutional by the supreme court of
Louisiana. Plans are being made to
carry it to the Uhited States supreme
court.
The state supreme court decision
construes the law as coming within
the police powers of that state. This
ruling gives the. cities Of Louisiana the
right definitely to outline and restrict
certain sections of a city for whites
and others for blacks. In no instance
must the two intermingle. The chief
justice, in delivering the opinion Of
the court, made frequent reference
to social equality" "amalgamation,"
and their attendant "terrors."
In an effort to make the law hold
water, and prevent its coming under
the rule that no law must single out
particular group for discrimination,
the New Orleans ordinance also speci-
fies that white people must not live in
neighboorhood in which the major
ity of the people are colored.
Cloak Of ImpartiaIlty
This portion of the ordinance is
making the judges of the Louisiana
courts chuckle audibly. 1t performs
for the audience two needed functions
1T gives it an air Of impartiality,
thus preventing the ordinance from
being set aside by the courts, and it
means-absolutely nothing. No white
person, even one free of all prejudice,
will deliberately choose to put up with
the extortionate rents wrung from
Negroes, not to mention the many
petty injustices attendant upon resi-
dence in the Negro district.
Whites Exploit Negroes
While the law. prevents a Negro
from buying q house in the white
district, even when he proposes to
rent it to white tenants, 1t does not
in practice prevent whites from buy
ing houses in the Negro district. There
are hundreds of apartments, restau-
rants, theaters, in almost every city,
owned to all appearances by Negroes
and catering to Negroes. They are
owned in reality by white capital
list, for whom some Negro, willing to
betray his race for the sake Of a few
dollars, acts as a foil
Look at the law from any angle you
+, Wilt shows 4 face favorable to the
white capitalists and to few Negro
traitors. That IS what the law was
made for.

would point TO one lndlVidual profeS-
sor who is given some latitude Of ex-
preston as proof that anyone could
express himself.
The Bell Eve.
They point to girl making S35 in
certain week, forgetting that the
highest wage for a girl for the year
was an average of $2S week; and
that in the same department, many
Of the women were making $12 a
week before the cut, and $1,000 now,
and that some women who have been
working in the mill all their lives get
in some departments only SO week.
In the shuttle bobbin department,
the maximum wage of the women in
spectors is $3.50 a week.
The company omits the fact that
! women making these so-called high
wages work at top speed, and do odds
and ends even at noon, so that their
hours are more than 4S week. They
come to work early in the morning,
too.
When the low wages are pointed
out to the company, they reply: "Those
who can't make more, should not be
working in the mill" Nothing re-
mains than for the company to throw
out those who do not yield sufficient
surplus value for the shareholders.
But this they will not do, unless they
can replace them with others.
The American ~ Thread Co. finds
it to their advantage to have a few
girls speed up and make higher wag-
es than the rest, and to give them
more work than to others. The work
is not fairly divided among the work.
ers. This fayoritism tends to keep
the workers divided.
How Many Workers Are There?
The American Thread Co. plant in
Willimantic employs about 5000
workers, divided in three depart,
ments. Finishing, 1900; works, 200;
manufacturing, 800. In the finishing
department there are about 1875 wo,
men and 225 men; in manufacturing
$50 women and $50 men; in works

cut, which brought 1t down to $2S,S5.
One worker has been in the mill
for twenty years, and at the end of
that period gets the wage Of $2S.S5
as a dresser tender.
In the printing department, a be-
ginner gets SIS week on a job press.
If he gets to work on cylinder (and
it takes about ten years to attain
that dizzy height he gets $24, and
after ten years of that, gets 500 (B.
c. before the cut. After working
seventeen years in the mill printer
gets $29.70 a week.
In the finishing department, men
running assembling machines for
shell bobbins get SIS at the start, and
not over $23; after the cut, 5000.
Men running the enclosing machine
start at SIS, with a maximum of $24
(now $21.6O.)
The "Die" House.
In the dye and bleach house, the
100 men were getting $249O for 4S
hours a week, that is, if they worked
there six months or more. Here the
company pulled one of it's skin games.
4 am assured by several workers Of
that department that after one week,
a man can do the work. 1t is heavy
work, but can be picked up quickly.
Having seen dyeing machine in mo-
ton, can bear this out. Still, for
the first three months, a man gets
only SLIPS, and for the next three
months, only S19.25 week. The high
est paid wage after the cut is only
$22.4O a week, for strong men, put
ting in hard days work.
Before the war, wages in this dye
house were S11, which was forced
upward by workers taking advantage
Of war orders to a maximum of S28.
But the company shut down the mill
on Saturdays, and so the real wage
was $26. Then came the wage cut
of 221a per cent, bringing it down to
about $22. Again an increase was
forced, in 1923, of 1871 per cent, bring
ing it up to $24.9O, the recent cut
lowering it to its present level of
s22.4O.
The Contrast.

Capitalists crushing the mill slaves.
This conflict cannot be bridged
despite the preaching of harmony be-

called labor leaders," Many of the
exploited mill slaves know from bit
ter experience that there is class war
between them and the American
Thread Co. And those who do not
know it will yet learn the lesson,
when this Industrial conflict which
now raging assumes a more determin.

MUST RECOGNIZE
SOVIETS, SAYS
YALE PROFESSOR
Davis Attacks American
Prejudice Against Russia

WORCESTER, Mass, Marchc U.s.
"The United States may withhold
recognition of Russia for a number
Of years, but eventually she must rec
ognize the Soviet government" was
the prediction made by Prof. Jerome
Davis of Yale university in his ad-
dress, Russia in Revolution and
After" before 125 members Of the
Worcester congregational club at it's
279th meeting and meeting and BAN
quet here.
Prof. Davis exploded many cur
rent beliefs as to the chaos and con-
fusion existing in Russia, and direct
ly charged that most Of the fanciful
reports had their origin in the minds
of propagandists. Whatever trials
and misery the Russian people have
experienced during the past decade
have not been due to the activities
Of the Reds, but to the heritage Of
injustice and inequality left by the
Romanoff dynasty"
Country Recovering.
Prof. Davis, who served in Russia
during the world war, told of the
sufferings of the Russian people, So
per cent of whom were totally il
literate and for whom the car did
nothing but levy taxes. Even the win
dows of the homes of the peasants
were taxed he said which led the
peasants to board up the windows and
give tuberculosis chance to deci
mate the poor people.
Speaking, of Russia today, Prof
Davis said that the country has been
rapidly recovering, the currency has
been stabilized on gold basis and
altho antagonists of Communism and
Bolshevism have predicted the col
lapse of the Russian state it has
actually grown stronger and contin
ues to grow.
