Seek to Hide Real Facts.
The Wall Street Journal tries to
make it appear that Holyoke workers
receive a saving wage This Saving
wage" averaged around $1,12O a year
in 1924, less than the amount set by
the (employers) national Industrial
conference board to give a family lit
tie better than a bare subsistence.
Nevertheless the Holyoke pay must
be a saving wage, for the Journal
shows that this city of $4,000 men,
women and children boasts $4,000
savings bank accounts averaging
around 500 per deposit.
Here is slightly better than one
savings account of $500 for each in
habitant. II fairly distributed this
would mean that the average wage
earner's family of five would have saw
ings accounts totaling $500.
Wages Below $1,000 Level.
Clearly there's a Joker somewhere.
Even in the palmlest days Of the 1920
wage boom Holyoke wages averaged
less than Sl,4OO year, and in the
depression which followed they fell
below $1,000. Here are some figures
derived from the Wall Street Journals
tables showing for the years 1919.24
the average wages IN three branches
of the Holyoke paper industry.

nism, by his own dictatorial methods,
does more to help Communism than
the Communists. For the present you
can make your own application of
these remarks"
A Strange Paper.
THE New Leader is strange paper.
4 In one column Norman Thomas,
who apparently gets complete charge
of that column in order to keep him
quiet" writes with fairness as fair
ness is understood by Socialist ting
ed with liberalism and pacifism and
prejudiced against the uncompromis-
ing forms Of struggle which the Com
munists advocate, and in the rest Of
the paper every conceivable sort OF
lie and slander is written about these
same Communists.
Vicious Attacks.
THUS on the same front page we
4 find an attack upon the Anti-Fas-
cisti Alliance, which is all inclusive OF
the Italian workers-fo all inclusive
that even VIM. Green found it neces-
sary to address them-stating that the
Anti-Fascisti Alliance was largely at
tended by Communist delegates, rep
resenting paper organizations" On
the next page is vicious attack up
on all united front organisations in
cluding Communists in their leader
ship. The attack reads in part, "In
case of strike where Communists
obtain the leadership and then appeal
for a united front as well as for funds,
you are advised not to become a part
of this united front or to contribute
any funds"
WHAT would have happened If the
w rank and file Of the Socialists had
followed such advise in the Passaic
strike? Norman Thomas himself
formed part of united fronts in con-
nection with the Passaic strike.
A few weeks previous the New
Leader went so far in its imitation Of
he lies and ISLANDERS printed by the
ewish Daily Forwards that it even
printed faxed speech in which Sta
in was supposed TO have called Zino-
'iev an idiot and declared that the
communist international knows moth
lg about America.
Reflect Disintegration.
THUS the New Leader, like the So.
4 cialist ticket that 1t publishes, are
reflections OF the further disdntegra-
tion going on inside the Socialist
Party. Both the ticket and the pa
per still have TO find little corner
for Norman Thomas, but formerly
Thomas used to have articles in all
parts of the paper and formerly he
used to head the Socialist Party tick
1t. Now he is stuck somewhere on
the tail of the ticket and limited to
his column in the paper.
THE Forwards crowd is determined
l. to run things with an iron hand
and 1t is questionable how long they
will permit even the innocent protests
OF Norman Thomas and how long they
Will still find any place for him at
all In the ballot for him or in their
paper. The only reason they tolerate
him at all is because they know that
his mild protest acts as a break upon
the idealistic elements among the Y.
P. s. LIS who are disgusted with the
Forwards crowd and It's tactics but
do not know what TO do about II and
have not enough initiative to make
their own fight and have to look to
a man like Norman Thomas for such
leadership as he can give.
A FIgIeaf.
In short, consciously or unconscious
ly, he is playing the none too pleasant
role OF an idealistic figleaf for the
none too idealistio practices Of the
Forwards crowd.

Bread Trust Control.
Kansas City is a grain center, but
bread there costs 10c a pound loaf,
whereas bread made OF American
wheat shipped by rail and boat from
Kansas City to London sells in Eng
land for AZ cents a pound. It doesn't
cheer the farmers any to know that
in 1911 the Genera Baking Company
got control of the Mckinney Bread
Company of Missouri and in 1926 Of
the Smith-Great Western and the
Campbell Baking Companies OF Kan
sas City, thus putting the city and
state under the control Of the $780,
100000 bread trust.
Eight Lives Lost.
An intense wave of bitterness is
sweeping over the workers OF Kansas
City owing to the loss OF eight lives in
a water works tunnel under construc
tion, due TO a gas explosion. The
hearings, which the authorities are
trying in vain to keep secret, reveal
that the company In it's profit greed
was guilty Of criminal negligence in
ordering the workers into the minds
shortly after an exhaust fan Mad brok-
en- and when the safety lamps showed
the presence OF dangerous quantity
OF explosive gas.
A foreman testified at yesterdays
hearing that similar accident had
Deen prevented Few weeks earlier
by a strike Of the men who refused
to 20 down while the danger existed.
He had then ordered mot to engage
any experienced miners because they
are apt TO be labor agitators." The
result of eliminating the "agitators"
Is tho death OF the eight victims last

One Of the latest to testify in this

Hooks Drug Store, Pennsylvania

are calling daily to find out about
this medicine.

Koniola is non-alcoholie. 1t is diff

a laxative, this new Konjola con-
tains twenty-five juices extracted
from natural plants which invigofate
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels to more healthy action. The
effect of Konjola on the whole inner
system brings amazing relief in cases
OF suffering that had been going on
for years. At the same time many
weak and rundown systems have
been restored to a new state of
health through the use of this COM

DIRTY BATTERY CAUSES NOISE

Noisy reception is often caused by
a dirty storage battery. This dirt
collects on top of the battery and
forms a path for minute currents to
pass between the positive and mega
tive posts of adjacent cells. These
currents are recorded in the receiver
as scratchy noises and are blamed
on static in many cases.
