very Dee" why not start with King George when
next he comes to stay there
If he can survive on a dollar and a quarter
week, am quite sure the Aberdeen workers will
submit, for they are a dour, determined crowd and
will never say die in an endurance test. We will
also advise the Jews that it is possible for them to
live there, pointing out that since the king is living
a level with the workers, it would be good policy
to keep him company at Balmoral where there are
plenty beautiful unoccupied in preference to
the "wee but an ben" of the workers.
Poor Aberdeen How your sons are being driven
from pillar to post. Here is the of of
them that came to New York, hoping to make a
better living than possible in the British
pire. He to stay next to me, in this
rooming house, little than a month ago.
One couldn't fail to notice that he different
from any other lodger in this cosmopolitan house.
/ noticed it right away-in accent, dress, and his
mode of addressing one. With the exception of
myself everyone seemed to be defferential towards
him, because, as one of them remarked, "he seemed
to be person who had come down in the world"
He had come down all right, for he, who had been
known during the war as Lieutenant Colonel John
Hector Innes Brown, ID. S. o., N r. o., was now
working night Waterman.
The military life had not given him much that
useful in civil life, and being up in years, he
found it devilish hard to make living, even in
Calvin Coolidge's prosperous America.
Despite the fact of us being 'brither Scots" and
living next room to another, we had little con-
versaton. You couldn't forget that I was
only private during the war; could forgive
him for boasting he was British to the backbone"
especially when he had been forced to come here
because the empire of which he was so mighty
proud, didn't give damn whether he lived or died
1t was rumored that he wrote articles and poetry
for magazines. If he did, he didn't get much for
them, he would have stayed elsewhere because
he wasn't in love with HIS quarters. Occasionally
would hear him moving about through the thin

A Scotch Hero Takes Gas

IT is said that Aberdeen, Scotland is the only place
in the world the Jew can't make living. We are
now able to tell the reason why. The natives
expected to live on five shllings tone dollar and
a quarter) per week. From what is to follow, you
will see that the authorities of the Granite City
are trying much the same experiment as the old
Aberdeen farmer who had just succeeded in getting
his horse to work without feeding, when it died.
According to the Glasgow Sunday Post" of
March 9th, "the action of Aberdeen Parish Council
in connection with the relief of elderly woman
who lost her son in the war is causing indignation
among ex-service men in the city.
"The case has come under the notice of the Bri-
fish Legion. Mr.. A. B. Mcleod the secretary, has
explained to his branch of the legion that the
woman, who is sixty-eight years of age, had no
pension for her son.
q "She received five shllings a week from the
Parish Council, and the legion thought this not
enough to maintain her. They pointed out the
whole circumstances to the Ministry of Pensions,
and prevailed upon them to give her need" pen
sion of six shillings and penny "a dollar and
half. AS soon as the Parish Council learned of
this, they withdrew their relief of five shllings
The legion protested but the council have decided to
adhere to their decision.
GAS the attitude of the Parish Council in regard
to war pensions and relief is that adopted by other
Parish Councils in Scotland, the Aberdeen branch
to raise the matter at the annual conference of
the legion at Dundee"
1t seems to me that everyone on that Parish
Council is like the Scotch Highlandman's wife-"no
man at ALL" No wonder we "mean," it is
enough to make US Bosheviks.
] wouldn't object to the experiment so much if
they would try it first on those with whom it is
likeler to succeed, that is, those who have been
living the fat of the land, and are apt to have
a strong constitution as a result. Seeing that Bal
moral Castle, the Highland home of the royal FAM
lily, is, with Aberdeen, "on The Banks o. The Sill

The introduction of the tory anti-trade union bill
in the British parliament is not only Of interest to
British labor but to the workers of all lands Tho
the heads of the General Council and officials of
the British Trade Union Congress have expressed
opposition to it, yet it remained for the Communist
Party to analyse it and organize united fight
against it. While alleged revolutionsts like George
Lansbury and the leaders of the Independent Labor
Party cursing the Communists for trying to
influence the masses from inside their class organ
izations the Communist Party is busy ralying the
workers for the struggle against the capitalists and
against their most efficient eutenants in the trade
union movement and in the Labor Party
The following clause-by-clause analysis of this
Rnt-union bill is taken from Workers Life Of
ficial organ of the Communist Party of Great
Britain:
Clause / of the bill prohibits strikes ''having
any object besides the furtherance of a trade dis
pute within the trade or industry in which the
strikes are engaged" if they are designed or
calculated" to the government, intim-
date the community, cor any substantial portion
of the community" Agitation for or organiza-
ton of such strikes can be punished up to two
years Imprisonment. No money be spent ''in
furtherance or support Of" such strikes.
This means that % General Strike in defense
of common working class interests against the capi
talists would be Illegal (2 solidarity strikes would
be illegal; (3) sympathetic strikes within the same
industry would be Illegal if the capitalist law courts
liked to declare them designed calculated" etc.;
(4) strike against would be Illegal 90 any
Substantial portion of the community" is protected
against the workers. whereas there is no protection
for "any substantial portion of the workers against
lockouts such that of the mne-owners last year;
(6) spending money campaign for trade union
solidarity in the event of a FUTURE conflict would
be Illegal.

Clause makes it unlawful for zone or more
persons" to attend "Gt near house or place
adhere person resides 10orls or happens to be-"
for the purpose Of obtaining or communicating
information or inducing anyone to leave work;
if they attend ''in such numbers or otherwise" as
to be Calculated to intimidate" any person. To
"intimidate,' the bill Gays is TO "apprehen-
sion of injury: and injury is defined
ing, apart frcm physical material injury, 'boy-
colt, or loss of any kind, exposure to hatred,
ridicule contempt" The penalty is 920 or three
months Imprisonment.
This means that % all picketing, whether at a

to make it condition of employment that man
shall or shall not be member of trade union"
or to discriminate between trade unonists and

This means that % Dustmen or other municipal
employees who strike without notice would be liable
to Imprisonment, while capitalists who take advan
tase Of their monopoly hold industry to fleece
the people untouched; (2) a labor majority,
representing the mass of local opinion, and itself
enforcing fair wage clause, cannot enforce the

ciated with trade union rates. 90 the workers get
