cal courts at the service of the bosses
in the needle trades, l. R. T. and pa
per box makers strikes.
n UR one time government of tn
~ people, by the people, and for
the people," is becoming more and
more openly government Of the
corporations, by the corporations and
for the corporations. These corpora
tions control both old parties.
The only remedy is the formation
Of labor party locally and of a
Farmer-Labor Party nationally,
which will be controlled by the work
ers and poor farmers who make uo
the overwhelming majority of the
nation. Such a party would fight to
change our corporation government
into government Of the workers and
farmers. The Workers (Communist)
Party has carried on fight for the
last few years to awaken the masses
CT the country to the need of such
Farmer-Labor Party. In the coming
municipal campaign, this paper and
the Workers Party will give major
attention to the need for Labor
Party in this city and by 1923, when
the presidential campaign begins, the
workers and farmers of the U. S.
should be in a position to form a Ma
t;onal Labor Party capable of con
Quoting a national fight against big
business government and for Work
ers' and Farmers government.

Minimum Requirements.

Minimum Requirements.
Child labor involves more than
the mere question of the age at which
a child should enter employment. A
satisfactory child labor law must
meet certain minimum standards. and
these include the prohibition of ~
any gainful employment for children
under IA, (2) night work for chill
dren under 16, (3) a working dav
longer than 8 hours for children
under l6. (4) the employment Of
children in physically and morally
DANGEROUS occupations.
Few states now meet these stan
dards. In Is states the law carries
an exemption which makes il possible
for children under ID to work in fac
tories or canneries. In IL states il il
not unlawful to work children under
l6 from 8 to II hours a day. In only
II states is the night regulation ade-
quate. In % states there are no laws

The Fears of Senator Borah

in declaring that strike may be il
legal any time the bosses do not like
its aims. This makes it possible tO
outlaw all but the least important
strikes.
THERE has been a definite ten
4 dency in our government since big
business has become powerful in the
United States and particularly dur
ing and since the world war, to make
it ever more openly the instrument
Of the bosses for whatever they want
to put across. "Our" president sent
"our" army into West Virginia
against "our" enemies, the coal
miners who are trying to organize
against the coal barons. At the COM
mand of the steel trust. "our" presi-
dent sent full division of "our"
army under Major General Leonard
Wood into Gary, Indiana, to smash
the steel strike; and the national
guard was shipped all over the coun-
try during the railway shopmen's
strike to help the railway bosses de-
feat that also.
Republican and democratic admin
istrations are alike guilty. 1t was
Wilson who put the army at the serv-
ice Of the coal barons and the steel
trust in West Virginia and Gary.
and it was the Harding Coolidge adj
ministration that used the national
guard to smash the shipments strike.

THE Passaic Textile Workers have
4 not only established a record for
i2ilitancy and determination, but also
for endurance. The anniversary of
the Passaic strike which began Janu-
airy %, 1926, finds the workers re-
jecting the observation-disclosures let

president of the United Textile
Workers, and Mr.. Starr, vice-presi-
dent. The letter from the Forstmann-
Huffman Co. speaks for itself. 1t
was presented to a mass meeting of
1900 Observation-Disclosures strikers
at Belmont Hall, Garfield, N. j., jan
uary 10th. The rejected letter follows:

Rt. Rev. Thomas j. Herman,
Honorable W.. Darlington Cabell,
Passaic, New Jersey.
Gentlemen: / am in receipt of your
letter of the 18th inst, and while the
general labor policy of the Forstmann
e. Huffman Company has already
been explained in my previous letters
and public statements, am very glad
to add few words on the points you
raise:
/. This company has not objected
in the past, nor does it object now,
to the membership of employees in
legitimate outside organizations,
whether religious, social or, other
wise.

will permit us to re-employ still more
of our former workers than we have
.lreaoy done so far, the company will

answer your purposes.
Yours sincerely,
JULIUS FORsTMANN.

THE FLIGHT.

This summer of 1923 was a
pleasant one for Bunny. To be one
of the editors of little paper, and
be able to say what you thought,
and print it week by week and dis
tribute it, with no Dean Squirge to
take it away from you, and no po-
lice or patriots to raid your office!
To mail it to everybody you knew,
and flatter yourself with the idea
that they were reading it, and be-
ing cured of their preiudices!
Bunny had put all his former class
mates on the mailing list of "The
Young Student" and in the fall the
'Ypsels" were going to sell it on
the college campuses, and maybe
trouble would begin then, and they
would get some advertising free!
Dad was slowly picking up. He
read the little paper every week,
a sort of loving censorship. But it
wasn't needed, because Rachel,
orthodox Socialist party member,
was wasting no space on the left
wingers. When these extremists
got hold of Bunny and cajoled him
into thinking that both sides ought
to have a hearing, Rachel would
say, what was the matter with their
getting out a paper of their own?
So here was Bunny, being "bossed"
as usual-and by a womanl 1t was
almost as bad as being married.
Another source of relief-Vee
was not quarreling with him so
much. She had been SO shocked by
his mad proposal to go off and get
himself killed in heavy industry,
that she was glad to compromise
and take half his time, and let
Rachel and "The Young Student"
have the other half. Wee was work
ing hard on her new picture, "The
Golden Couch" telling about an
American darling of luxury who
fell into the tolls of a fake prince
from some Balkan country. To
play the part they had got a real
Roumanian prince, who had most
charming manners, and was willing
to devote himself to Wee at all times
when Bunny was busy with his So
cialist Jewess.
Also they were getting agreeable
letters from BERTHE, who had been
transported to heaven. Such a bril-
liant world, with such important
things going on! She had lunched
with the Prince de This, and dined
with the Duchesse de That. WHY
wouldn't Dad and Bunny come over
and visit them-Bunny might make
a really brilliant marriage. Dad
chuckled; the idea of him going to
Paree and trying to polly VOC
Francy!
The blackmailers were busy. of
course; but since his illness Dad
had left all that trouble to Verne.
Congress was on vacation, which
meant a partial respite, the sensa-
tor1al reds might denounce the oil
leases in their home states, but the
papers no longer had to print what
they said. A curious superstition
that when things were said in Con-
gress' even the most respectable
newspapers found it necessary to
mention them. Such things
brought politics into disrepute with
business men.
The drilling of the Sunnyside
tract was under way. A dozen
wells were flowing, and justifying
all that had been expected of them
sometimes Dad was driven to the
office, but most of the time the
bright young executives would

come out to his home, and sit il
the den and get their orders. Such
clean-cut efficient young men, with
all their faculties concentrated up
on getting oil out Of the groundl
No visions tormenting them, no
strains of music haunting them, no
hesitations, no uncertainties, never
a doubt that to get oil out of the
ground was the purpose of mans
life! So they kept their wits about
them, and mastered their depart
ments, and increased their prestige
and their salaries; and when any
one Of them had taken his depar-
ture, there was an unuttered sad
ness between Dad and his son.
Why couldn't Bunny have been like
young Simmons, or young Heimann,
or young Boiling?
II
The doctor had said that Dad
must not think about business more
than two hours day; so Bunny
would tempt him for stroll, a
very slow one, and perhaps they
would hear sermon of Ellis as
they walked along the street, and
that never failed to divert Dads
attention and set him to chuckling.
He took a kind Of malicious de-
light in watching the glory sweep
of the Third Revelation; by prov
ing that the masses were boobs,
you made it all right to take their
naval reserves! Dad subscribed
to little paper issued by one of
the rival religious showmen of the
town, full of denunciations of Eli
and exposures of his trickery.
The regular churches were ieal-
Gus of this new Revelation, which
had burst so rudely upon them.
Eli was an upstart and a mounte-
bank, and Tom Poober, the clerical
rival, declared that he faxed a lot
Of his alleged cures, he hired peo-
pie to stand up and tell how their
crippled limbs had healed and their
cancers had disappeared. Also,
Ellis followers had not been will
ing to give up their customs of
rolling and talking in tongues, and
Eli had had to build for them a
number of sound-proof rooms in
the Tabernacle, where these rites
were carried on. "Tarrying rooms"
they were called, because you went
there to "tarry with jesus; and
when things got going, you would
see hundred men and women roll
ing on the floor, paving one an
other, tearing off their clothing:
you would see a woman Jerking
her head back, or leaping several
feet at time, here and there, ex-
actly like chicken with its head
cut off. The orgies would end with
mass of human creatures piled
into heap, wriggling and with
ing, amid smell of sweat that
would make you ill.
The Reverend Poober would print
such things, and send newsboys to
sell the paper in front Of the Taber-
nacle; the newsboys would be fall
len upon and beaten, and the po-
lice would fail to arrest the assail-
ants, or having arrested them.
would turn them loose. Were the
politicians of Angel City afraid of
the power of this stuffed prophet?
Tom Poober would ask in large
capital letters, and Dad would
chuckle--in the mood of that West
ern pioneer who came home and
found his wife in a hand-to-hand
conflict with bear, and rested his
gun upon the fence and took a seat
and called, Go it, woman! Go it,
bear!"

METAL MARKET
Dull; COPPER,
SILVER LOWER

The strength that went into the
metal market last week has come out
again on an extremely dull mark et
with lowering prices on copper and sill
yer and no change in lead and zinc
Copper has gone gradually down to
12%; silver has, dropped off 2 cents
to 57A, and lead and zinc remained
7.4O and 665 respectively.
The speculative purchasing of silver
and the covering of the requirements
of the bears caused the rise in price a
week ago and silver has dropped back
as this speculative buying lessened.
Consumption in lead is slumping 6
somewhat in several of the large using
lines, such as battery, lead alloys, lead
covered cable and ammunition. The
lead market is firm, however, but there
has been little interest in buying other
than for delivery. ar
January saw a drop of about 10 per
cent in the volume of business done in
the brass industry as compared with
the monthly average of 1926, and the
wire mills further reflected the unsat-
isfactory condition of the metal in
much smaller orders. With brass and
wire dropping off materially 1oIloW-
ing a slump in the building trades and
automobile industry, the copper market
has been much unsettled and the price

a basis of 13-cent copper
The copper consuming industries
which represent approximately 50.56
per cent of the total domestic con-
sumption of the red metal, increased
their takings of copper in 1926 24,925
tons, according to figures compiled by
the American Bureau of Metal Stats
tics. Practically every industry listed
by the bureau showed a gain in 1926
from the year previous with the excep-
tion Of those manufacturing for export
