When the United States govern

aires were spending some of their
loot while the workers and farmers
were being Debated thru bankruptcy,
it found that 1,060,S5S children un-

gainful occupations. More than one
third Of these, 373,063 Of them, were

Soviet Union Does Not
Drive Children Upon the
Treadmill of Industry
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.
TINE children Of the Union Of Soviet

THE children of the Union of Soviet
Republic are enjoying the greatest
fruits of the bolshevik revolution. 1t
is no doubt for this reason that every
power of capitalist propaganda is d.
rected in an effort to misrepresent the
very favorable condition of these chill
dren. To let it be known to the world
that the children are the first care of
the proletarian dictatorship would be
to arouse workers everywhere against
their capitalist oppressors.
When the Soviet State provides care
for the mother, not only during but
before and after confinement, and
when day nurseries are established
among other institutions for the care
of the children, then the charge of
capitalism is hurled around the world
that Russia's children are being ma
tionalized. Every charge of this ma
ture, however, has been riddled with
so many facts that workers and farm
ers, if they will but use their common
sense, can see thru them all easier
than they can penetrate a seive.

of its local stage and takes on a ma
tional aspect.
The painters and laborers have been
on strike since March 1, and altho
large number of independent con-
tractors have settled up, the big con-
tractors refuse to make any conces-
sions. The painters demand S1.37h
an hour and the five-day week; the
laborers 81 an hour.
In spite of the venomous attacks
of the chamber of commerce and the
open shop organization, the strikers
have stood firm and are determined
to get their terms. Negotiations have
been broken off, and will not be re-
sumed till next week.

committee of seventeen investigating
the religious problem in Mexico
quotes President Gales as follows on
the attitute Of the Mexican govern
ment towards the catholic church:
"Priests Obstacle"
We respect all cults and are toll
Grant in every sense. The present
government is doing an intense edu-
cational work in its attempt to i'm
prove the material. the spiritual and
the economic position of its people
and, incredible as it may seem, the
priests are the greatest obstacles. II
is impossible for you to understand
this because the conditions under
which the priests of your country
work are entirely different. In all
Latin-American countries union be-
tween the priests and the big business
interests are traditional"
"Hands Off,"
The committee of seventeen, which
included a rabbi, several priests, ex-
governor Sweet Of Colorado and
others recommends a "hands off"
policy on the part OF the United
States towards Mexico in the present
warfare between the catholic church
and the government
The committee reports that the con-
troversy is not due to religious but
educational motives. The government
had demanded the use of lay yeachers
in all catholic schools instead of
priests.

Saturday afternoon, The DAILY

house in Detroit, the Garrick, and was
refused a ticket in the balcony or on

sold out except in the gallery" said
the ticket seller. The young comrade

some argument with the man to the

several white persons in line bought

Even the national child labor COM
