To A Fat Bourgeois
BY Henry George Weiss.

n YOU are hog-fat and your clothing is fne
y So stoke down your fodder and lap up your wine,
Let the paunch of your plenty protrude from your vest
And the jowls Of contentment fold down your breast
For we lean and hungry supple and strong,
With thin lips that murmur Not long now, now long.
While you have been eating the best in the land
Believed with sweat and produced by our hand
In the snow and the rain, in the heat and the cold
Now tempered by hardships patiently wait
Our hate has grown bitter hearts have grown bold
Like lean wolves in winter, outside of your gate.
Eat, drink, and be merry, sluggish and proud
For thus shall you totter, your shoulders be bowed;
When the walls of your mansion fall in your head
The poor shall be sheltered, the hungry be fed,
And you and your class will go down in the sea
OF surgng red flags in the land of the free!

TT happened at eleven o'clock at
4 night in one Of the largest print
ing houses Of New York where more
han six hundred people are employed
and exploited. Most of the skilled
workers in that establishment are
members of different trade union or
CARNATIONS, such as the Printers, Cut
ters', Mailers', and Bindery unions.
The unskilled are not organized at
Ill, and therefore, are most exploit
ed. Their average wage is sixteen
dollars per week. Their work is hard.
it consists of pulling trucks filled
With magazines or sheets, cleaning the
machines, carrying heavy loads of
sheets to the gathering machines for
the girls to fill in. Some are married
men with children. The shop is op-
Grated by two shifts; day and night
workers. During the school year,
not in the summer.) l shall not cite
all the conditions of the factory with
it's workers, but l shall relate little
story that occurred not long ago.

TT was night. The sky was dotted
L with bright, cleaning stars. The
factory district collapsed into a sea
Of silence and shadow. The streets
grew more and more empty. The rush
and hustle of work was over.
Prominent, almost silhouette-like
stood the huge, enormous structure
that housed the printing plant. Thru
all Of its window panes electric bulbs
dazzled the eye. The whirling of the
wheels of the printing presses pene-
trated the biting air outside. 1t broke
the silence Of the street and disturb

On one of the floors Of the build
ing, in the press room, bright young
boy about fifteen years of age was
employed in the night shift. The men
liked him for his joyous spirits and

Snes besides.
One night, just a week before
Christmas, the boy approached one of
The pressmen, asking him to let him
try to operate feeding machine. His
request was granted. Several minutes
later crash of the machine and a
fearful, piercing cry of the youth was
heard. All the men ran over to see
what occurred. The boys arm was
caught in the machine. The excite
ment was overwhelming. The sight of
the tragedy caused some to faint. Yet
the boys nerves were stunned; he
did not even weep. His face express
ed great suffering, he stood there with
dropping head, biting his lips, his
face turned wan, lifeless and livid.
He was fearfully crushed at heart.

The Boys Arm and
the Lady's Pearl


Don't tell mother"
An ambulance, doctor. A squad
arrived for the purpose of wrecking
the machine if necessary. They could
not extricate his arm. The managers
consulted with the doctor whether it
paid to wreck the machine as it would
entail great property loss. The doc
tor advised not to, as his arm would
be lost anyhow, and why not do the
job right now?
Meanwhile, the poor boy was strug-
Cling herocially in pain and agony
for a half hour, until finally they sep
arated him from his right arm up to
the elbow, and then he was removed
to a hospital.
The following day the news of this
event spread like wildfire all over the
shop. Some said the boy would die,
as he had lost too much blood. How
ever, he survived. When the lads
mother came to visit him in the hos
pital, he concealed his injured arm
under the cover. He felt guilty. With
childish, beseeching eyes he looked
into her face, but the poor woman
knew of this misfortune. Crushed, in
great despair, when leaving her son,
she said: THAT was my Christmas
gift"
Several days later a substantial col
lection was made in the shop for the
boy. Each one, practically gave a
dollar. Since then we never heard
anything more about the unfortunate
youth. The incident is almost forgot
ten. The work goes on as ever be-
fore, with more exploitation, if pos
sible.
TYHE employers home is rich and
i GArgeous, resembling a beautiful
castle described in fairy tales. His
wife is young and pretty. She never
visited her husbands factory, she can
not tolerate the offensive odor Of fresh
print, it makes her dizzy, Besides,
she does not like to see dirty people
and unpleasant faces, ugly things are
not for her. She enjoys wealth,
beauty and idleness. Last summer
they both spent their vacation in Eu-
rope.
Christmas Eve. The employer was
in good spirits, full of Joy and ex-
pectation. Her salon was sumptuous-
ly decked out. An enormous Christmas
tree with countless colored lights, cos
TUNED like a queen, was standing in
the middle of the room. They ex-
pected guests to their party. dis
tinguished" people were invited.
When her husband entered the room
early in the evening, she greetd him
with a broad smile. He pulled out
from his pocket small box; it con-
tanned string of pearls for his wife.
She was so overwhelmed with delight,
that she gave a little scream. What
beautiful jewels! Their tints sparkled
in an interchangeable iredescence.
Both stood in the middle of the room,
near the tree, admiring the pearls.
These seemed like living creatures.
They reflected many countenances, but
not those countenances bearing the
sweat and blood of ceaseless toll.

SENATE'S I AK
FIGHT BEGUN
~ MILIIAM K. HuTCHINsON

By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
Entering its first major con-
troversy over the new 1920, O0O,-
600 tax reduction bill, the SEN
ate today debated the size of the
tax cut for the weather. class of
American taxpayers.
A small group of Progressive
Republicans and handful of
Democrats, though for different
reasons, launched the battle by
attacking the surtax schedule,
approved by the Senate Finance
Committee, which starts with
per cent surtax at SIC, 900 and
fixes maximum of 20 per cent
at 100000.
Progressive Charges
The Progressives charged the
schedule would give too much re-
lief to the rich. whereas the dis
senting Democrats contended 1t
failed to give sufficient relief on
incomes between $4,000 and $780,,
600.
Administration leaders meanwhile
we're determined upon welding
parliamentary whip upon their col
leagues TO force a speedy decision
on the bill.
The present program calls for
enactment of the bill by the Senate
by February 10. TO allow the sue
ceeding two weeks for adjustment
of features in which the House and
Senate bills conflict
IF successful. this program would
send the bill to President Coolidge
for his signature by February "a.
Senator Smoot. (R.) of Utah. in
charge Of the measure. announced he
intended to keep the bill before the
Senate until disposed Of to the
exclusion of all other business.
He discounted rumors that clio
ture might be invoked
II see no need for cIoture," said
Smoot. we will permit of no fur.
Their delay, however, and I think
we will have the bill passed posi-
bly, by the end of this week.
If necessary. we will hold night
sessions because the deadlne for
Senate enactment is February TO-"
In maintaining this program. the
Senate will face a difficult task As
all remaining features of the bill
not yet acted upon, have aroused
controversies.
Included in this list are the es-
tates taxes, corporation tax, capital
stock tax, alcoholic tax. gift tax,
numerous excise taxes, the repeal
of income tax publicity and a num-
Der of administrative features, aside
from the surtaX schedule
Each subject will develop CON
siderable debate.
The Progressive opposition to the
surtax schedule was based on a
contention that il gave too great
a reduction to the rich.
Administration leaders defended
the schedule however on the ground
it provided for a proportionate re-
duction of % per cent upon all
incomes large or small.
