There is no magic cure for mean
ness. AS in the case Of jealousy,
circumstances and kindred
faults, the cure must start with the
victim" Only through will-power,
bolstered by a realization of what
he is missing, can it be effected.
However, family and friends can
assist. One thing that must be
fought is reputation. If a person IS
known as mean" he finds it hard
to be other than mean. His kind
nesses are discounted or, worse still,
laughed at His honeyed words
cause establishment, and then eau
ton. as the listener puts himself on
guard for some Interior motive.
That is what makes reform
wether of actions or character,
doubly hard. Nevertheless, it can

and st. Paul, to which he was a dele
gate. He is known for his opposition
to the infamous "B. & D. plan" He
was one of the delegates to the recent
convention of the union. He is well
respected by all who know him and
the rank and file on the Pacific coast
have the fullest confidence in him.
Andrew MacNamara and John Otis
both come from the heart of the steel
industry, Pittsburgh. Both Of them
have been active in the labor move
ment there and deserve some of the
credit for the exposure of the labor
spies that have been uncovered in
the Central Labor Council and in local
unions. Both of these candidates are
known for their opposition to the "B.
G o. plan" and other schemes Of the
present administration.
Both of these brothers were dele
gates to the recent convention in De-
troit. MacNamara was one of the
leaders in the fight for reinstatement
of the unjustly suspended members
of Toledo and was a member of the
grievance committee of which the
majority report favored reinstatement.
H. Garner is from another steel
district, namely the Calumet district,
where he is employed at the present
time. He feels the iron heel of the
Gary dictatorship every day and has
no chance of being poisoned by the
propaganda to do away with the class
struggle.
Brother Garner was active during
the shopmen's strike also, as were
most of the candidates on the left
wing slate. He holds Office as presi-
dent of his local at this time. He was
also delegate to the Detroit conven-
tion.
Alfred Goetz comes from the great
automobile center, Detroit, where he
has been active in the trade union
movement for SINE time. He comes
direct from the workshop; he has for
years been active in the organization
of the young socialist and later, the
Young Communist League in the
state of Michigan.
We could elaborate more on the
qualifications of these candidates, but
as space is limited, and the issue not
personal, but based on fundamental
changes in the organization policies,
this Introduction will suffice. We ap-
peal for support on the basis Of the
program, and the records of the candi-
dates should be considered as well.
Support us for this fundamental pro-
posal for a better fighting organiza-
ton.

SHOE WORKERS
REVOLT AGAINST
new WAGE-CUTS
Bosses Attempt to Break
Union Agreement
RY M. sHARAF.

LYNN, Mass, Jan. 6.--At a. meeting
of the Stichers' Local, the largest of
Shoe Workers in the country, it was
unanimously voted to notify the ]. R.
Donovan Shoe Co. that it would have
to live up to its agreement, and that
no reduction in wages will be consid.
cred by the union until April 30, 1925.
1t was declared emphatically that
the time has gone by when the union
will allow itself to be bluffed by the
fake benevolence of the bosses, and
that the bosses would not be allowed
the free and false publicity that it
gave them. Formerly it has been the
custom of the Donovans and others
to let themselves be interviewed by
the local dailies, who made them ap-
pear as benefactors and friends Of la
Dor, who by a necessary curtailment
in wages saved the industry for the
city and the jobs for the workers
Three years ago Donovan put his
game across, and within month
general reduction followed all over the
city.
camoufage Wage Cuts.
Before this meeting the general Of
ficials Of the union had told the Dono,
van Co. to fire all employees who did.
not wish to live up to the infamous
agreement rendered to them by the
notorious state board of arbitration.
by which the sting of reduction was
camoufaged by giving a different
classifcation-yet the sting was there
in the shape of thinner pay en-
velope.
Your correspondent looked into the
matter, and discovered that Donovan
owns the Checker Chain Shoe Stores
and supplies his own stores at a
cheaper price, thus making his extra
profit in the retail price, while using
this cheap selling price as a pFetext
for wage reuction. In a word, this
cheap selling price was a fake-a book
price, and snare.
When a committee of business
agents went to interview Donovan, he
told them that he was out to make
money, and that he didn't care where
it came from. When this was re.
ported to the union membership, the
aforementioned motion, offered by
militant, was then accepted.

expressed the hope today that the

lions for funding the debt within a

A Crisis at Paris.
No European conference in months
has been so fraught with possibilities
for peace or discord in world affairs
as is the Paris meeting, in the opin-
ion of officials here.
Frances failure to submit q serious
proposition regarding her debt was
sharp disappointment to Washington
and in some high quarters there was
a disposition to question Frances sin
cerity in the entire matter.
II the Cow Goes pry-or BoIshevik
However, it was recognized that
France might have been DESTROYS Of
temporarily postponing a definite
commitment on the debt until she de-
termines how much milk she is to get
from the German COW under the
Dawes plan. The allies hope that
this will be determined at Paris. But
if the cow goes dry from SO many
mixers?
If, after the Paris meeting, France
does not then come forward with
something tangible in the way Of set
Element suggestions, it is considered
certain here that pressure of "the
most rigorous sort" will be applied
from Washington.
