Metal Trades UniOnists
Demand Pay Raise, Not
Wage Cut in Navy ards

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. (FP).-
Hearing Of pleas by spokesman for
10000 workers in the government
navy yards for a substantial increase
in pay, was concluded Nov. by the
General wage Board of Review for
the Navy Department, sitting in
Washington. General officers of the
various metal trades unions and OF
the Federation of Federal Employees
presented the arguments on behalf
Of the employees.
recommendation from the wage
boards at the several yards, in the
process of this annual readjustment
of wages, called for slight increase
in pay for most groups. The Brook
lyn yards report, however, recon-
mended cut of cents an hour for
a large group of workers.
Pleas for considerable increase in
rates Of pay were founded on the fact
that navy yard workers are in most
classes highly skilled, and in certain
classes of employment their skill is
necessarily far above that Of mechan-
les in railroad shops or other private
shops on which the naval officials
had prepared comparative wage data.
Again, in private employment there
is much payment of bonuses, double
paid overtime, distribution of stock
dividends, etc, which goes with a
nominally low rate of hourly pay. In
navy yard service the basic hourly
rate is the only pay the workers re-
ceive. Hence it must be higher than
the basic pay outside, to provide an
equal income.

From pits beneath the ground they come
And fling their tools to earth,

Their faces know mirth.

And pledges each to fight

This is the black mans shout,
'Nor shall bow beneath their powers,

fuge and school for the revolutionary
representatives of the rising bour-
geoisic, Moscow is now the refuge and
school for the revolutionary represen-
tatives Of the rising proletariat.
The hatred for the Jacobins did not
save feudalism from its downfall. Can
anyone really imagine that hatred for
the Bolsheviks can save capitalism
from it's inevitable downfall?
The era of the Sterilization" of
capitalism is past and the legend of
the steadfastness of the bourgeois or
der has been exploded. The era of the
downfall of capitalism has come.
Revolution In theology.
The November Revolution was not
only a revolution in the sphere of eco
nomic and social-political relations. 1t
also constitutes a revolution in the
minds and theology Of the working
class. The November Revolution was
born and bred under the banner of
Marxism-the banner Of the prole-
tartan dictatorship; the banner of
Leninism which is Marxism in epoch
of imperialism and proletarian revolu-
ton. 1t therefore heralds the victory
of Marxism over reformism, of Len
inism over social-democracy, the VIC
tory of the Third over the second in d.
ternational.
Formerly, prior to the victory Of
the proletarian dictatorship, social
democracy could parade under the
banner of Marxism without openly
denying the idea of the proletarian
dictatorship. without doing anything
TO accelerate the realization of this
idea; for the attitude of the social
democrats did not constitute any dan
ger to capitalism
S0Cial-DemOcr3ts Discredited.
At present after the victory of the
proletarian dictatorship, when it be-
comes clear to everyone whittier
MarXisul is leading and what its vic
tory can mean, the social democrats
can no longer flirt with the idea of
the proletarian dictatorship without
endangering capitalism somewhat.
Having long ago parted company
with the spirit Of Marxism, the social
democracy was compelled to part COM
pany also with the banner of Marx
isn--for it openly and unequivocally
opposes the child of Marxism-the
November Revolution, the first pro-
letarian dictatorship in the world.
There is a deep gulf separating the
social-democracy from Marxism.
Henceforth the only representative
and he bulwark of Marxisn is Len
inisnl-- -Conmunisn BY dissociating
the social-democracy from Marxism,
the November Revolution has thrown
it into the camp of the avowed de-

Porto Rico Farmers
Hid Money Cleverly

About the middle of the Nineteenth
century important business houses
made their first appearance in San
Juan and other towns of the island of
Porto Rico. Then the rich farmers
deposited their savings with these
houses and also obtained from them
financing for their sugar mills.
Throughout the Nineteenth century
a great struggle went on for the estab-
lishment of bank in the island. The
idea was successful in the year 1880
when the Banco Espanol, now Banco
Commercial de Puerto Rico, was es-
tablished.
Money also was kept in silk stock
ings and handmade hosiery. 1t was
the custom of some persons to hide
their pesos and gold pieces In the
beams of the roofing. There is an old
story Of an usurer in Arecibo who
used to hide his money in a hollow
wooden statue of Saint Bias two feet
high The statue of the saint was
placed on a corner stand In his room
and it was his custom to keep an oil
lamp burning before it. Not until his
death, when his heirs took possession
of his belongings. was the hiding place
discovered.

Gave Lesser Man His
Brief Hour of Triumph

Great writer's have had artistic con-

caused them painful labors. in 1903,
when Joseph Addison, the English
poet and essayist, was undersecretary
of state he was given as matter Of
official business the task of writing to
Hanover that Queen Anne was dead.
He found 1t SO difficult to express
himself satisfactorily that the lords of
the regency were obliged to employ
Southwell, at that time one of the
clerks. For hours Addison had
struggled in attempts to draft suit
able message, but the last one seemed
as inadequate as the first, and in de-
spair he cast 1t after it's predecessors
into the waste basket.
SOuthwell stated the simple fact, as
he was ordered, in the ordinary Ian

primitive church in the world is to be
found in San Diego county. southern
California.
1t is known as the Sancta Isabel
mission, and Is used by the Indians Of
the district. The church is built Of
brushwood. The entrance is effected
by climbing a rude ladder placed
against the low side walls. Two bells
are suspended from cross beam In
front of the church, and rude cross
of pine has been erected upon a small
leveled surface, which is utilized for
open-air services should the congrega-
