They are giant lizards, s feet long,

satire aimed at the amateur pros

"HOT SHOTS"
By "BOLSHEvIK" BILL

In eastern cities, where strikes
are often, the children have adopt
ed a game which they call Strikers
and Scabs." In this game, as the
name implies, there are two tsorng-
ly defined sides. Usually the police
(called Cossacks) are opposed with
the "Scabs," in battle against the
strikers" The children taunt,
club, stone and by other means an
initiate the 'Scabs" and Cossacks.
In this way they are admirably
trained to discredit and hate our
officers of the law, and the law.
Isn't that Americanism for you?
In almost every case of where
you read of strike, the name of
the strike leader will be foreign
name. (I do not refer to the ma
tiona1 organization). Foreigners
are PECULIARLY adept at coming to
this country and taking charge Of,
and creating discomfort. Why do
American working men fall for
them and their stuff?
