Cleveland PatriOteers

CLEVELAND. June 5.-The good
citizens Of Cleveland have been
seized with horrors since the Depart
ment of Justice discovered that there
is a Communist Party in this coun-
try, that it is connected with the
Communist International, and pub
fishes monthly called "The Com
munist."
One of these saviors of youth and
the working class protested to the
Librarian Of the Cleveland Public
Library because the Communist"
was on the rack where anybody could
read it. This is demoniacal, and
dangerous TO the successful exploita-
ton of the workers by the capitalists.

Talks Prosperity"
BY LELAND OLDS.
Federated Press).

BOSTON, June 6. Republican
prosperity must be pretty much of a
'oke to factory workers in Cal Cool
4dge's home state, to judge by the
April employment report Of the
Massachusetts, department Of labor.
The report shows a decline Of $3.50
in employment compared with March
and Of Csc compared with April
1926. Massachusetts, factories now
afford jobs to 17ee fewer workers
than were employed on the average
in the years 1919-1923.
On the basis of census figures there
we're about 10000 fewer jobs in
Massachusetts factories this April
than year ago. The reduction in
employment since 1928 has cost 110-
900 factory workers their Jobs. There
are actually about $4,000 fewer work
ers on the payrolls than were en-
ployed in this state in 1914.
Thousands JObless.
The sharpest drop in employment
compared with a year ago occurred
in the electrical equipment industry
where it fell from 1870 above the
1928 average in April 1926 to 1850
below the average this year. In this
industry 1870 of the workers employed
a wear ago are out of work today.
Rubber footwear factories are en-
ploying 26.3as fewer workers than in
April 1926 and textile machinery fac
tories 14.4ao fewer workers while the
great cotton mills have laid off about
tenth of the workers on the pay
rolls year ago. Other industries be-
low last year are wooden goods, hos
iiSery and knit goods. foundry and ma
chime products, paper and printing
and Ypublishing.
The average weekly wage in Massa-
chusetts Nactories in April was s24.75.
This Includes a $2946 average for
male workers and an average of
s16.7S for women workers. In April
1926 the AVERAGES were $2e.27 for

POOR TEETH

DERSONS who are tired and de-

from the teeth but from starva-

gelatine, meal after meal, soon
becomes monotonous.

whose mastication is poor the APP

to interfere with the sense of
taste, so that more decided flavors

to be avoided.

rent play. The theme Of this
play is the destruction to her
sons manliness that a mother
can cause by her own absorbing
intense, ever-present alteration.
The mother in the story sets
herself up as shining example
of all that is noble and unselfish
and splendid in womanhood. And
because she is more clever than
her sons she makes them believe
that a woman who falls short of
her perfection is unfit to marry
them.
The mother has that dominant,
overwhelming sort of personality
that sweeps everything and every.
body else out of her pathway.
Besides that, she stoOps to con-
quer when it becomes necessary
to her scheme, even resorting TO
eavesdropping and subtle lies
when nothing else aVails.
When the older son brings
home his bride the mother I'm.
mediately sets forth her own
plans for their future.

carrying out their own plans for
working and living. Then she
