partly be the result of suggestion,
due to the widespread publicity 1t
has received in the news organs.
Much of the unrest in the life OF
student-and this applies to any
young person,-hinges upon the rela-
tons, especially the early ones, in
the home. Where there has been the
proper sort Of sympathy and under
standing there is not likely to be sui

to what it should be, young people
would have little desire to take their
lives.

of keeping UP with the pace is one
cause of suicides among young peo-

moderated the future and the mean

the demands Of social life are too
strenuous. Some studies have a
tendency to destroy earlier impress

give up, finding they have been dis
illusioned. l believe in a majority

ReactiOnary Officers
Of UphOlsterers Local
Skimp Strike Relief
(By Worker Correspondent)

At the last meeting of Local a. Of
the Upholsterers' union the secretary
made a report in which he emphasized
that in spite of the fact that the
local supported the general labor
movement yet the financial situation
is better than a year ago. And then
he enumerated that the local gave ten
dollars for the support of the English
miners strike and the same amount
for the Passaic strike and 600 dollars
for city garden.
This means that the city garden
means much more to the officials of
our local than the outcome of such
an important struggle as the Passaic
strike or that in England. 1t was
useless at that time for the progress
sives to fight for more aid for the
hungry children of Passaic. But six
hundred dollars for city garden is
not too much!
Funny Forty Hour Motion.
There was spent 1000 dollars for
organizing purposes, but we, the
members, did not hear of the results
of that organizing. 1t was the or
ganizer who made a motion that the
forty-hour week is timely-but not
during the season. He meant it is
good during the slack time when
there is no work anyway-good fol-
the bosses. 1t would be good for the
workers during the four months sea
son. And it is the desire and wish OF
the workers TO accomplish the forty
hour week all year around. But the
officials-god and maybe the bosses
know why-are opposed TO it. The
members are afraid of them as yet
They are afraid that they will not get
jobs from them.
There was a motion made also at
our last meeting that the term of all
the officers shall expire at the same
time not as it is today. Wagner. the
secretary, became frightened when he
heard the motion, and he spoke
against it. He argued that it is i'm
possible that his term shall expire in
January, right after the season. lie
cannot get any job then. Poor Wag-
ner! Out Of his five thousand dollar
salary he could buy only one house
so far. And he is afraid that he
won't be able to get job. The mem
bers of the union face this situation
every year, but Wagner wants special
favor.

BERLIN, Feb. G.-The Marx, con-

of Communist charges. Hammered

His only excuse was that this was be-

to be a reasonable organization.
Theodor Won Guerard, leader of the
catholic centrists, represented in the
cabinet by Marx and several Others
formally wanned Marx in a speech
from the floor, that the Keudell at.
fair must be investigated, and that
centrist support would be withdraw

proved that Keudel supported the

Keudell and the entire cabinet
might have fallen then, had it moi
been also revealed that Stresseman
now in opposition, was also a Kappist
at that time. The game Of "the pot
calling the kettle black" did not look
well to some of the cabinets oppon,

silenced.
When the vote was taken on the
motion of confidence in the cabinet
the Communists, socialists and demo,

it; the nationalist, catholic centrist
German and Bavarian peoples party
participating in the ruling bloc, voted
to save it, and enough of the other
parties voted for the cabinet to give
it majority of sixty-one.
