and it is dirty shame-the low wages
that are paid to the young workers
and upon which they are forced to
live. The labor men earn $23 per
week and the girls earn $40 to SIS per
week, while the young men earn $15
to $17 per week for their labor.
But it is not my fault on the wage
question. l really feel sorry for them,
most Of them are married and their
wives are also working in order to
live. That is the reason why so much
goods are stolen in our place on &C

Is DIRTY Shame" Says Manager

tions that he hands out.
There ought to be a law against
such greed, as is shown by the rich,
the so-called Americans as they say
they are. Something should be done
for the working class for better
living in this life. There was Z or 8
managers who talked very well about
the Young Workers League and we
hope you people would spread more
propaganda to the workers. 1t Is a
great help and the best ever come
across in 38 years in the slave field.
I hope you get to all the mail order
houses and factories and department
stores with your propaganda to the
working class. 1t is slow, but the time
will come. The people want a change
nowadays from the old rotten political
machine to something good for the
workers.
1 will close with the best OF luck
and success and keep UP the good
work for the future generations and
humanity.
Signed.
P. S. Some Of our men are going
to join the Young Workers League.

British Youth to
Visit Soviet Union

LONDON, England - Among the
many lessons which the Workers have
learned from the general strike is the
need for the organization of young
workers.
. The young worker must, like his
elder brother, be made to realize his
class position, and be made to take his
stand in the ranks Of the workers.
In an interview, f. Starkey Jackson,
a member OF the London Advisory
Committee of the Labor League Of
Youth, told that youth delegation is
being sent to Soviet Russia to study
the conditions OF young workers in
that country.

United States is to blame for Frances
financial predicament because the SEN
ate did not keep the obligations made
by Woodrow Wilson in 1919. The
blood-sucking capitalists of France
and the United States are responsible
for Frances financial ills, as they, in
conjunction with the financial pirates
of other countries were responsible
for the world war which murdered
over 100000 men and crippled three

to create the impression that his third

Capt. Clarence E. Webb, Chief OF Po-
lice, Santa Monica, Calf.
Dear Sir:-In compliance with your
commands, given on your visit to my
apartment Aug. IA, / informed Mr..
Schneiderman, that you forbid him to
address Peoples Forum" for the rea-
sons, according to your statements:
First, That a committee, represent
ing over thirty persons, gathered in
the city park, at 7th and California
SITS, informed you, that sign printed
with red paint, was posted there on
the sign board for announcing meet
ings, said sign reading, gWhat the
Communists Want, by Communist"
Second, You thot it out of place,
that red paint should be- used, in
printing the sign, therefore had re-
moved the sign amid great cheers,
and sign was then in your car.
Third, That Pasadena would not
allow Communist to speak, eand San
ia Monica must do the same.
Fourth, The committee was so
wrought up that they had threatened
rough treatment to the speaker, with
injury to limb and danger to life, If
stated speech were attempted. There
fore you forbid the speech to be made.
This even after l had informed you
that the Peoples Forum" had invit-
ed the speaker to address them.

ing some capitalists, retired business
men and representative from your
office met in the city park The chair
man inquired of me regarding the non
appearance of the speaker.
explained regarding your visit,
but was unable to explain what had
happened to the committee, that had
threatened mob rule with injury or
possible loss of life as its aim, and
have not seen any account Of arrest of
such committee.
After being informed of your ukase,
the meeting voted unanimously to
have the speaker appear, and give the
advertised address.
AS I noticed flying squadron of
American Legion in the offing, l knew
they would protect an American citi-
zen in his rights which includes free
speech. SO l notified Mr.. Schneider
man, who addressed a meeting last
ing two hours, and very peaceable
meeting it was.
AS you stated you knew nothing
about Communism, l can recommend

ed reading. 1t was written by two
men, who have had the extreme hon
or of assisting in the administration
of Communist government, of over
$50 millions of peoples, in country
covering one-sixth of the earth's sur
face, therefore know of what they
write.
Communism is fast gaining ground
in the United States, and you will
hear more Of it in the future.

ALL LABOR CAN
HELP The MINE
STRIKERS WIN
/. w. A. Points Way For
Unorganized to Aid

The following message received by
the International Workers Aid Of
America from its sister organization
in England is of the utmost impor
lance and should be needed by all
workers. The message in substance
reads:
Unless the millions of workers
and friends Of labor will come to the
immediate assistance Of the Brit
ish miners children, wholesale
deaths by starvation will be I'M
avoidable.,
Government starves Children.
School meals heretofore granted
once day to the miners children
have been withdrawn by the author
tiles, thus robbing the children Of
the last governmental support.
To counteract this abominable
deed we are arranging to distribute
100000 food packages in the mining
districts every week. Each pack
age costs so cents and will feed
two children. How many friends
and workers can you rally in sup
port of preventing actual starva-
ton?
Who Will Give?
The American 1. w. A. is conduct.
ing a nationwide campaign in CO.
operation with it's English sister or.
ganization, and appeals to all workers
and friends to give substantial aid by
contributing from 81 to $40 week.
The American Federation of Labor
is supporting the British miners thru
their affiliated unbns. There are,
however, some 2O,OOO,OO0 workers out
side of the American labor movement
who also owe a duty to the miners
struggle in England.
These workers are called upon to
forward their donations to the I. w. A.
locals in the different cities or to the
national office of the International
Workers Aid Of America at 1853 West
Madison street, Chicago, Illinois.
