WHY We HAVE STRIKES
BY ANNA sKARUPSKA.

" ny 10 We nave Stf1kes!
We have strikes because the rich boss 5oes pot
pay the poor hard working men fair The rich mil
honalre boss does not care, and makes the poor man
work hard, so hard and pays so little that the work.
ers cannot stand it.
Inc poor man goes and asks the boss if he would
pay more, but poohl He would laugh il off
Take for instance, Henry Ford, he makes the
worker work five days and eight hours a day. He
says ne pay six days work for five days He does
not He makes the men work so hard and make him
90 so much and pays such low wages that the people
90 not ouy automobiles because they cannot buy so
much, so the man has to quit because there Is M
more work to do
We children Of the working family unite all to-
gether, knock those milonaires down and be divided
equally and paid fair. Then when we work together
ana De paid fair we all would be happy and con-
tented Then would we need strikes? No, because
we all would be paid fair and all of us would work

solidarity in the world labor move-
ment. The government fears it, and
the moderate leaders in the general
council dread it. The triumph of
Anglo-Russian unity means that the
British trade union leaders will be
pledged to struggle against capital
ism. For this reason it is assailed
with great violence. And it has been
attacked by another of lord VIM
borne's guests-W. Citrine, general
secretary of the 7. U. c.
Who instructed Mr.. Citrine, the Sec
rotary of the Trades Union Congress,
to send his attack on Anglo Russian
unity to the press? When was the
document he quotes discussed by the
members of the general council? Why
did he decide to choose Friday as the
day for launching his attack? Was
it not because the question of Anglo
Russian unity must be faced at AM
sterdam next Wednesday and Thurs
day by the International Federation
of Trade Unions?

directed against the general council

as smoke screen for his attack.
Thus the government and mine
owners are helping the general coun-
ell to fight and defeat the miners
leaders at the conference of trade

This united front shows where trade

system which makes unwilling pup

As the workers advanced Dutch
jerked his night-stick out of sheath
in his saddle and swinging it in the
air cried:
GO wan, get out of here, the
whole damn lot of you"
The impetLous marchers were not
tc be easily cheated of their desire to
celebrate their great holiday. Steadily
they advanced, swarming all about
the Infatuated Dutch, who kept bounc-
ing in his leather saddle like child
prancing on hobby horse. Strings
Of an innate violence suddenly burst
IN his throat. He deliberately tugged
at the reins held in his hands. His
trained mount thus lead, raised its
forehoofs into the crowd. Men and
women broke ranks and screamed.
One of the workers, unable to es-
cape, rolled under the horse, his
chest crushed by the iron-shod hoofs.
Dutch lifted the cap off his head and
after wiping beads of perspiration
from his brow, g~lloped down the
street.

down the hay Uttered floor. His
right arm reached out after stroking
the name of his horse. Dutch spat
on the floor and walked across the
yard to the station house.
After reciting the course Of events
to the desk sergeant Dutch lounged
around the waiting room. He tried
forgetfulness by inhaling mouthfuls
of smoke which he later transmitted
thru his nostrils. 1t didn't work,
that blood-smeared face kept circling
around his thoughts. Frenzied cries
Of murderer" still rang in his ears.
Jesus Christ" he soliloquized, Gam
/ never going to forget it." 1t was
duty he assured himself that was to
blame. The word duty stood out in
his thoughts, but even duty is no
consolation for a man who just sent
fellow being to his grave. He lit
another cigarette and continued mus
ing. I'm worse than an old woman
-moonin' over a lousy KILN and
a trouble maker at that. Those guys
had no permit to march anyhow"
1t was a spiritless and futile effort
to shake off a troubled uneasiness.
Dutch rose and walked to the win
dow. 1t was the first of May and a
bright cool wind, pregnant with the
first approach of summer breezed
gently thru the air. He leaned
against the high sill, peering blank
ly into the street. A few minutes
later he joined a fellow policeman in
a game of dominoes. The white
dotted oblongs slipped thru his fing-
ers. His mind wasn't on the game.
Dutch kept thinking not of dominoes
but of the perplexities of life.
Some two hours before Dutch was
riding leisurely along a quite avenue,
comfortably astride his well greomed
horse. His brass buttons shone CON
spicuously against their blue setting
and his lips whistled the gayety that
was in the air. It was May the
first and everywhere the streets were
astrigent with spring laughter.
He rode block after block, leav-
ing behind him columns Of NOV
ing people. Horns honked and auto
mobiles drew carefully aside, giving
him unmolested. passage. Dutch was
in fine spirits. It was his afternoon
off that day and he had already
made up his mind to take in a ball
game later. His eyes shifted from
sidewalk to sidewalk everywhere po-
pie hurried on. Men and women
shuffled up and down the streets in
continuous procession.
In the gutter he watched street
cleaner spray a fountain of water

Spring Laughter

The heavy gates adjoining the
West 30th street police station swung
wide open allowing Dutch to ride his
brown stallion to the rear of the
court, where a row Of stables quar-
tered the horses belonging to the
mounted police.
The arrival was in a nasty temper,
that was visible from the way he
dismounted, not smilingly as was his
want, but dejectedly as tho he was
angry at something. Well Dutch
was angry, and there was no secret
about it as far as he was concerned.
1t was beautiful spring day, and
ne had just murdered a man. Fresh
from cold blooded killing was he.
Dutch could almost feel the warm
blood of his victim oozing through
his thoughts. 1t was a man he had
murdered altho in the station house
they let it go by calling him ''Bol-
shevik' but even Bolsheviks are
human and that is what troubled
Dutch, not that he was sentimental
or anything. Policemen aren't brought
up that way, but killing a fellow
being is not exactly pleasant, even
If it be sanctioned by law. In to-
morrow's paper he would read zone
killed in Red riot" That's the way
it was always done.
Little freshets of water running
from the brook Of memory flooded
his thoughts with CHASTITY reflections.
He kept thinking much against his
will of that blood-smeared face of his
victim whose body was just sent for
safekeeping to black vault in the
morgue. He couldn't help think
about it. 1t was the first time his
mistress Law and Order called upon
him to kill anyone, and the mere
recollection of it stung him like the
bite of wasp. There was something
uncanny and unpleasant about killing
that Dutch never took cognizance of
before.
After dismonnting Dutch pushed
open the door leading to the barn,
into which his horse entered instant
ly burying its head into a bag of
oats. whoa there" escaped the
policeman's lips as the horse
whinned softly as tho he too felt
that there was something wrong.
Dutch grunted. A half crazed notion
to shoot the animal darted thru his
head. That would have satisfied his
anger. For it was the horses iron
shod hoofs that did the actual killing.
1t was only notion, which he quickly
dismissed, from his thoughts. His
grunting gave way to a profane
swearing as his steed pranced up and

over the grey asphalt which covered
the streets with a refreshing layer.
Little streams formed at the curb
stones which flowed along, finally
emptying into a corner sewer. Every
where people moved, people nodded
to one another, and people loved. For
1t was spring. The season when all
life begins to animate anew. There
is always harmonious feeling suf-
fused in the air of spring day
which makes oneself radiate with a
tangible joy. Dutch felt that way
too. His lips parted sooni giving
way to broad grin. 1t was the
spring laughter which he was in
haling seeking an exit.
From one of the side streets long
line of marchers suddenly swung up
the avenue. Idle passers-by paused
to look at them, wondering what it
was all about They were workers
from the needle trades who have
answered the call of their unions to
"down tools on May day. And
were now on their way to Union
Square for a mass demonstration,
having stopped work at ten o'clock
that morning. Red flowers were
prominently displayed in the lapels
of their coats.
Dutch was some distance away
when he discerned the advancing
throng. The smile faded from his
lips as he saw the crowds pressing
steadily onward, like some giant
force rushing on to an unknown fate.
He wondered vaguely what to do. For
he had received orders previously in
the day not to allow ''pubIic demon
stration," and Dutch knew what that
meant. The police in turn were act
ing under silent orders from. the Of
ficialdom of the A. F. of L., who
were fearful lest the growing left
wing movement in the needle trades
spread to other localities.
Dutch cogitated awhile. He dis
liked to interfere with the marchers.
There was a time when he too was
a worker. That was years ago, be-
fore he joined the force. He was a
teamster then, and union man. He
recalled those days but only for an
instant. A troublesome dialogue
kept running thru his head.
ITS orders I've got to carry out"
he kept repeating. "Orders. Orders.
Damn the orders. I'm gonna let 'em
pass" He would have liked to, but
the word "orders" swirled about his
thoughts until he felt groggy. Over
whelmed him. With that sudden
hate gushed to his face. It was a
blind hate aimed at himself and the
