The Youth and the Labor Aristoeracy.
1t is a well known fact that there is
a skilled labor aristocracy. The skilled
labor aristocracy is the backbone of
reaction. Even in the moro progress
sive unions that is clearly evident. In
the needle trades IL is well illustrated.
The cutters and pressers for instance
are the chief support for the Sigman
and Hillman machines; they com
promise the skilled aristocracy in that
industry. The transportation industry
offers an excellent example. The four
big railroad brotherhoods composed Of
highly skilled workers are a big block
Of reaction in the American trade
union movement. It is among the I'M
skilled maintenance of way workers
that the left wing is able to make in
roads.
The youth OF course is almost en-
tirely in the ranks of the unskilled
mostly being apprentices (learners).
The young worker has no craft to
boast OF and therefore has no craft
theology. 1t does not conceive of the
union as n means of protecting the
craft from learners, but as a means
for fighting the boss. The young work
er developes an enmity TO the labor
aristocracy who ignore him, give him
little protection and in every possible
discourage him from learning the
trade. The young worker by the very
nature OF his position is led to sup
port the left wing.
However, il Is this very position
that is responsible for fact that is
evident quite generally, that is he
fails TO consider the union as his own,
he considers himself n union member
by the grace OF the adults who control
IL and therefore takes less interest
in II. II could readily be seen how
advantageous this is TO the reaction
airy officials who never worry about
the fact that only very small portion
OF the membership attend union meet
ings. On the contrary, they rejoice
particularly when they notice the alb
sence OF the young "troublemakers."
One of the very important tasks for
the youth fraction Is to bring the
young workers TO union meetings and
develop among them a greater interest
in the union. This is not only i'm.
portant for the youth movement, It Is
important for the left wing movement
generally.
We must be careful, however. not to
appear as sponsors OF an anti-adult
movement. on the contrary IN our
agitation we must lay emphasizes on

mission Of Treason"
Last of all we hear that the So
called British labor delegation, paid
and sent to America by the reaction
airy London Daily Mail, has completed
its short tour of American openshop
industrial centers and sailed for home
with the immortal words OF Pres. Coo
lidge ringing in it's ears: "Well, Amer
lean workers earn high wages because
they work" OF course, even the Daily
Mail representative was forced to ad-
NIT that British workers also knew
how to work. But he said for the dele
cation that they believed high wages
in America were due to high produc-
ton and, high consumption, and that
the high standards of living among
American workers were due to those
conditions.
"They have been greatly impressed"
he said, "by the harmony they saw
everywhere existing between working
man and employer. They have been
also much struck by the perfect or
ganization they found in American
workshops"

clues lead TO Hongkong.
There is dn Canton a treacherous
group that has seeded from Kuomin-
tang. This group is doing its direst
to break up the fight of the Canton
people, particularly Of the Canton and
Hongkong workers, against imperial
ism. This group advocates peace with
Hongkong, and Hongkong stands for
peace with this group of counter-revo-
lutionists. Lao was opposed to such
a compromise. Lao worked hard and
honestly in the name of the emanci-
patton Of the Chinese people. Lao wRE
killed. But the great movement was
not killed. We saw this with our own
eyes when few hours later We ar
rived at Canton, Canton, the one with
out which Hongkong cannot live, but
whom Hongkong does not let live and
develop, over whom Hongkong is suH-
pended like Damocles' sword.
The people are in mourning. All
wear crepe on their arms. The streets,
especially the maritime band, breathe
with life. Accompanied by represen-
tatives of the Hongkong and Shameen
strike committee, the Chinese Fedora
ton of Trade Unions, the seamen's
union and several other organizations
who came aboard to meet the delega-
ton, we started out directly to inspect
the buildings and dining rooms of the
strikers.

Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall stepped
down from the witness stand today
after insisting under four hours of
searching examination, that she had
no connection with the murder of her
husband, the Rev. Edward w. Hall,
and Mrs. Eleanor Mills, choir singer.
The sneering, bullying fire of ques-
tions from Alex Simpson, special
prosecutor, failed also to shake her
insistence that she did not even
suspect the love affair between her
husband and Mrs. Mills, which was
the scandal of New Brunswick be-
fore their murder on Sept. IA, 1922?
Mrs. Hall was on the stand two
hours on Saturday, and two hours
and seven minutes today. When
she was released and court adjourned
for lunch, it was announced that the
defense intended to rest its case this
afternoon after calling several wit
nesses to support portions of her
testimony.
The last Simpson could do was to
force her to admit that, after the
cumulative evidence of the last four
years, "some slight thing" might
have been going on without her

let her admit that he had been un-

NAPLES, Nov. 29.-The rim Of
Mt. Vesuvius' crater is aglow with
lava, which, like molten gold, is
flowing down the crater's cone in
rivulets of fire.
A rain late Sunday failed to subdue
the fiery red glow, for so intense was
the heat that the raindrops were
evaporated before they struck the
lava.
Many Americans made the trip
near the mountain top Sunday, some
in cable cars and others on foot
This was possible because the lava
flow is mostly on the eastern slope.
The stream, which began Satur'
day when small eruption ripped off
the northern half OF the crater, Will
