SOld TO the worker at the aver
age market price for the week
that the worker applies to buy
stock.
The company thru its propaganda
sheet urges the workers to become
partners" telling them they can do
SO by having the company take out of
their measly wages 81 per week to
pay for the share.
Why Do They Do 1t?
Why is the company so eager to
sell its stock to the workers? 1t
may use the money that is brought
in by the workers to further extend
their holdings and their business, but
that is not the big reason. The main
reason why the company is eager to
sell it's preferred stock to the en-
ployes is to make them believe that
they are partners" in the company
and believing this monstrous joke
they will speed-up to produce more
meat and its products so that larger
profits can be pocketed by the big
fish" and that the worker will also
"see to it" that their fellow-workers
also speed up.
IF you want dividends this year,
boys, you've got to work harder than
that" is one of the most common re-
marks to the workers employed in
the yards"
Ecrego HIGH Wages.
Not only will the workers speed-up
and drive their fellow-workers to
speed-up but the company also knows
that if it is successfals in getting
that idea of partnership into the
heads of it's slaves they will not ask
for higher wages or shorter hours or
better conditions in the plant as they
would fear that the company would be
unable to pay out the Insignificant SO
or 7%dividends to them
Not only will they not ask for
higher wages and better conditions
but it is also an insurance against
strikes and against any attempt on
the part of the workers to organize
into real fighting industrial unions
that will make the bosses "come
across" with better conditions.
Doesn't Change Policy.
But, when the workers buy this
stock and fall for the I'VE are part

THERE is considerable skepticism
4 floating around in diplomatic
quarters concerning the reliability
of the reports emanating from Picking
regarding the intended retirement of
General Feng from public life. The
first announcement was received with
Joy, but a later report which said that
the general was going to Russia to
study Soviet institutions nipped the
rejoicing in the bud. Is this more
proof of the "inscrutability" of the
Oriental mind?
WHATEVER Feng may do in the
w near future the old days in China
are gone for ever. The Chinese
masses have made a rapid advance
ment towards national consolidation
during the past few years. The de-
cisive factor in this deveopment was
the growing pressure of the exactions
of international Imperialism, but it is
very likely that but for the aid of
Soviet Russia, China would be today
crushed under the iron heef Of her
myriad foes and doomed to long and
painful struggle to gain the vantage
point she occupies today.

argument of this kind is an internal

EDITORS NOTE-Numeriou an
niversary greetings have been re-
ceived during the last "a hours from
the Communist parties of other
countries, and from prominent Com
munist spokesman of many lands.
These came too late to be inserted
in our special anniversary edition.
But they will be published from day
to day during the week. One of
these greetings has been received
from Moscow, from John Pepper,

the struggle to establish The

as the Dunn and Bradstreet of Film
dom, is unquestionably the most de-
pendable selection, since it comprises
every state in the union, and repre-
sents the mouthpiece of the theatre
going public, via the press reviewers.
In this connection, it is of no small
interest to the theatre-goers of Ham,

been shown here in Hamilton at the
Palace theatre. In commenting on
this agreeable state of existing con-
ditions, Managing Director Meyer, of
the Palace theatre, stated: ITO err

the end of lead-pencils. We've tried
to present at the Palace theatre the

highest That our taste has been con-
Cured in nationally, is of course, most
gratifying. We can hope for no bet
ter results than batting average"
of 80 per cent during the coming year,
and you may tell the readers of the
Press that our sole aim and ambition
is to surpass our record of 1925, by
presenting only the very best enter
tainment obtainable-now and al

while and then we can talk about 1t.
With relieved look upon his face
Robert Danvers left the breakfast
table and went to his room. There,
he struggled with himself for long
time. Why should he tell Hilda, he
reasoned; there was chance things
would come right and even II they
did not. perhaps he could make good
the loss within the year. He was
really being kind to keep the knowl-
edge OF her loss from her. 1t would
be shame to tell 1t, and just at the
New Year, too. He would have to
make an effort to be cheerful.
Somehow tffe thought of the New
Year brought Robert Danvers to him
self What coward he was, trying
to soothe his conscience as he was
doing, starting out on the New Year
with deceit and subterfuge for com
panions. He would tell Hilda, even
II she despised him for what he had
done-even that would be better than
to feel that he was acting the part
Of coward. The truth was best
even though It's telling should wound
them both!
Going downstairs again, he found
Hilda gazing pensively out Of the win
dow. This was unlike her. and he
knew that she was troubled

THE KALEIDOSCOPE

There is joy in the hearts of the
housewife. Bless her heart, she is
entitled to all joy, sunshine and more
spending money for pleasure Yes,
sir: more spending money for pleas
ure. There will be reduction in sur
taxes and income taxes to the extent
of some three hundred millions of dol
lars after the first Of the New Year.
And thus, the wives of millions of
workers whose salary--wages-
over five thousand dollars per year,
will be able to contribute to the all
day sewing bee. Politicians are very
funny animals, and for that reason
the wives of workingmen may not be
able to understand how living costs
will be less.

We applied for our 1926 automobile

Of the exhaust gaskets gave way. In
fact, much other information was
CLOSED over. We hope the next legis-
lature will remedy this, for it should

eide that it was a case of hard luck.
To the point: A workman accident
ally bumped into nail with his fore
head; the skin was broken and the
bone bruised The wound did not
heal, eventually it developed into a
form of cancer. A compensation COM
mission ruled that he was not entitled
to compensation. The case was car
ried to the supreme court and in polite
language that body informed the com
mission to put little common sense
into their work.

Five thousand gallons of grain al

And then the flames might have been

cation into all freight rates, charges

Of similar complaint covering all

~ the same as that presented to the

The other case would have revised
state rates on class freight to provide

lower rates on longer hauls. Since
most North Dakota traffic is short

the net result Of approving the rail
roads application would have been an
increase in the states total freight
