She put her lips to the mouthpiece
and said, Hello"
Tom Fitzroy's voice answered her.
Hello, Mary Rosey. Doing anything

His tone was as careless as if two
months had not passed by since he
had talked to her. But for all his
lightness, she knew that he was
hanging on her answer.
"why, no. Nothing special" she
said. "Why?"
"Oh, nothing thought I might

A spot Of color came into either of

kicked a pair of slippers viciously
into the clothes closet.
In silence she finished dressing

the fixed charges the people must
meet before income can be distributed
as wages, salaries or profits. The 7
months dividends amounted to $685.
$4,000 compared with S663, $4,000 in
the same period of 1925.
Cutting MELONS.
This year dividend payments to date
were distributed to owners of the ma

Railroad dividends S119,115,OOO; street
railway dividends S64,31O,OO; indus
trial and miscellaneous corporation
dividends $4S2, $4,000. In the first z
months of 1925 railroad owners got
$3.50, 535,OOO; street railway owners
S59,135,000, and the owners Of other
corporations Sab, $4,000.
Stating Down Profits.
In addition to these record payments
to investors the corporations are salt
ing away SURPRISES. The Chicago
Journal of Commerce says: "In the
comfortable feeling generated by the
dividend statements of the numerous
large corporations another feature has
been lost sight of and that is the large
surplus accounts which are being ac-
cumulated. In other words, not only
are business concerns able to pay
their stockholders well for the years
business but they are putting aside
large reserves against the rainy day
and to assist in the inevitable era of
expansion which lies ahead"
Grant Mergers.
The journal points out that the huge
accumulations of surplus profits are
also serving the financiers in their
plans to effect giant mergers. 1t says:
These great surplus accounts must
be invested and thus holdings have
been acquired in those concerns slated
for absorption"

TORY PAPERS
SEEK TO BRIDE
BRITISH POLICE

ey BILL ROSS, Federated Press.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the anti
labor groups in Britain have done
much since the general strike TO win
the goodwill Of the police, their efforts
have not been entirely successful. The
conservative Times led by collecting
over $1,000, 900 for police pensions Gin
recognition of their services during
the general strike"
The police were generally impartial
during the struggle, while there were
many instances Of sympathy with the
union men. Unlike his American col
league, the British copper is not eager
to club strikers and is not a reliable
tool of employers. The Liverpool
police strike of 1919 is still remem-
bered. Although the strike was lost
the leader, Jack Hayes, ran for par
lament on the issue and has held
his seat ever since. In several other
towns police unions are in existence.
Jack Hayes challenged in parlia-
ment the subscription raised by the
Times. ''Tn the list of Times sub
scribers, one finds an overwhelming
perponderance of business interests
represented" he stated. ''If police
opinion were sought, it would be to
the effect that the money should be
given to the relief of miners children.
The mayor of Nottingham" Hayes
pointed out, made an appeal for a
police fund. But at the request Of the
Nottingham force the fund was closed
and the money, about $4,000, was
given to local charities"
In several instances where the La
Dor party has majorittes on local gov
eminent bodies, it was possible to re-
move police chiefs who showed an
antilabor attitude. The latest in
stance was the dismissal of the chief
of police by county council in South
Wales for trying to break the peace. F"

These changes brot about the mod
ern wage-earning proletariat, and the
destruction OF the peasantry. 1t is
clearly to be seen that so long as
capitalist production was dependent
on handicraft its expansion was ne
cessarily limited The commercial
wars Of the 18th century stimulated
demand; they were wars waged for
the mastery of world markets. The
problem to be solved, therefore, was
how to make industry adequate to
meet commercial requirements" This
was the stimulus for the Industrial
Revolution.
The Essential Social Conditions for
Capitalism.
There are two essential social con-
ditions for capitalist production: a.

The appropriation of the Peasantry,
In thirty years alone, 1901 to 1881
no less than three and half million
acres were stolen from the common
people. This was justified by the plea
of social necessity; note what one

result of more scientific and economic

stimulated, and the strain Of the great
war endured, is generally accepted"
The Workers Share of Social Wealth.
But how did the common people fare
in the enormously increased "pro-
ductive resources of the nation?" The
chief factor Of capitalism is compe-
tition, and this results in wages be-
ing depressed to the mere level of sub
sistence. This competition was great
ly intensified when machinery was
universally introduced. This compe-
tition was greatly intensified when
machinery was universally introduced
A further factor in depressing wages
by providing steady source of cheap
labor-was the general emigration Of
the Irish at the rate Of $4,000 per year,
the result of Britains repressive pol
icy in Ireland. The depreciation of
the value of handmade goods by the
advent of the machine-made product
brought about the utter ruin Of the
hand-loom weaver. Adam Smith has
told how the brutalizing influences
Of the division Of labor operates I'M
der capitalism: 1.-THE man whose
whole life is spent in performing a
few simple operations, of which the
effects, too, are perhaps always the
same =. has no occasion to exert his
understanding. -. He naturally
loses, therefore, the habit Of such
exertion, and generally becomes as
stupid and ignorant as it is possible
for human creature to become. 4.
His dexterity at his own particular
trade seems to be acquired at the ex.
pense of his Intellectual, social, and
martial virtues. But in every improved
and civilized society, this is the state
into which the laboring poor, that is,
the great body of the people, must
necessarily fall" How comforting this
latter paragraph to the souls of the
Henry Fords!

The convention was a live one,
Most important questions were de-
cided only after long and sometimes
heated discussion and debate. This
clarified the issues.
Important Decisions.
After hearing the budget for the en-
suing year and getting all facts per-
tanning to the question, the conven.
ton decided to have for the coming
fiscal year a full-time secretary. Until
now, the secretary has divided his
time with the Franklin Cooperative
Creamery's Educational Committee.
1t decided to continue the publica-
ton of the Year Book and to empower
the executive committee to change the
bi-monthly magazine to a monthly, if
the financial condition permits it.
New constitution and bylaws were
adopted.
Future Policy Outlined.
A resolution, declaring that the N.
S. c. j. should be neutral in politics"
was unanimously voted down by the
resolution committee and the follow
ing substitute resolution presented:

American dividend and interest pay

icient for a 25qo wage increase for
more than 100000 wage earners.
