Especial 10 ' ne Oatly Worker)
MILWAUKEE,, August 5.-A trump
card in the campaign against union
printers in Milwaukee is spiked by
evidence that the open shoppers have
been fraudulently substituting inferior
paper on contract work let by the
school board. The evidence was col
lected by officials Of Typographical
Union 20 and Milwaukee Allied Print
ing Trades Council and extends over
year.
The trade unionists became suspi-
cious when they found that union
shops could never bid low enough on
the school board work to get the jobs.
1t was then discovered that Radtke
Bros. & Kortsch, the successful bid
ders, habitually made up for the in
ferior speed and workmanship of their
non-union employees by using cheaper
paper than the specifications they had
bid on called for. Contracts for the
coming year are held up pending In
vestigation by the school board.
The socialist administration has
been letting work to scab concerns.

French FAIL in
EFFORT TO BUY
PEACE OF KR|M
Offensive Is Impossible
Without More Troops

PARIS, France, August 6.--unable
to make any Roadway in capturing
the Riff Republic from Abd-el-Krim
and his soldiers, the French and Span
Ish governments are attempting to
buy Krim off with a huge sum Of
money, it is learned. The peace terms,
given by Primo de Rivera to two
ENJOYS Of Krlm at Tetuan, while they
offer peace only at the price Of reooa-
milton of the Spanish protectorate
over the Riff, offer to make krlm the
"emir" of that state and hint that he
can have huge sum of money II he
will allow the European lmperialsts
to enter his country.
Krim, however, has already declared
that he will accept no peace unless
the independence Of his country is ac-
knowledged.
Painleve is anxious to make peace,
as Marshall Petain, fresh from trip
thru Morocco, has told the premier
that large scale offensive against
the Riff1ans is impossible unless more
troops are sent from France.
This Painleve fears to do, as it
would mean mobilization of the re-
servists, and would cause even greater
dissatisfaction among the workers
than now prevails.
Abd-el-Krim's forces, meanwhile, are
active along 200 mile front, and are
threatening Ouezzan, and the main
railway between Fee and Taxa.

to deal with it, never did notify

such an undertaking has been

Junior does not like something
which has happened during the
day, he or she reports it at the
Camp Soviet Council and the Jun
iors see what can be done about it.
So far the camp has been running
very smoOtly and we hope it keeps
on that way. If you have a child
send it to this camp. No child
who is not a Junior is allowed in
