would know that thump anywhere he
heard it and at any time. For few
moments all was still. The happy
pair in the bramble-tangle were now
sitting up listening. They had heard
the two thumps. Peter began to lose
hope Then, clearly, there came to
him the sound of a gentle thump. 1t
said to him as plainly as words could
have said: Come 1t seemed TO
Peter that never in all his life had he
heard such a wonderful thump. He
promptly thumped a reply. 1t was
thumped quick and hard. 1t meant
I'm coming" Then. without waiting
for a reply, Peter started.
Peter hadn't been able to locate that
thump exactly, so presently he
stopped just long enough to thump an
inquiring thump. AT once he re-
ceived a reply, but it didn't come from
the same place that the other thumps
came from. Mrs. Peter was moving

Of the path. 1t was little Mrs. Peter.
Peter stopped abruptly. Now that
he had found her Peter suddenly felt
very uncertain. Yes. sir. he did. He
who had SO angrily hunted for
her so long suddenly was afraid
to approach. He actually didn't dare
go any nearer. You see, it came over
him that perhaps she wouldn't have
anything to do with him. and he
couldn't blame her il she wouldn't.
Little Mrs. Peter looked at Peter

Premature Graying.
Dear Miss Leeds: l am 81 years old
and have dark brown hair that is be-
coming streaked with gray behind the
ears. seem to have enough natural
oil in my hair. and prema ture craving
is not hereditary in my family. Would
it help to have my hair singed or cut
very short whenever l have hair
cut?-JOHN r.
Answer-No. I do not think that the
singeing or short cut will help yOu.
The premature CRAVING is due to some
condition in the scalp. 1t may be that
your general health is not up to par
and that the circulation of blood
through your scalp is not good. You
see. it is the blood that nourishes the
hair Sometimes when the heart ac-
ton is not strong the blood does not
circulate through the scalp we'll.
What | advise YOU to do is, first. see
that your general physical condition
is excellent and then give your scalp
10-minute massage treatment both
night and morning. Avoid tight hats

THE CHAOS IN THE T. F. T. u.

IL has for long time been well-known fact that
the international Federation of Trade Unions is
real international and that-it has never had
united and determined leadership. But the picture
shown by the congress of the I. F. 7. U. on the
first day and still the second day, of con-
fusion disruption and mutual intriguing in the inner
leadership of the l. F. T. U. beggars description.
The first two days of the Congress already proved
one thing beyond dispute, and that is that this in
ternational is absolutely incapable of leading any
real action on behalf of the proletarat 1t would
fall to pieces at the first step.
Even the way in. which the Presdium of the
Congress sit together above the Congress illustrates
excelently the unity" of this international" In
the middle is Purcell, showing stoical calm, right
next to him is the second British member of the
executive committee, J. w. Brown. Then comes
considerable space and further to the left Dude
geest and Sassenbach> and then, his own, looking
the personification of misfortune sits Leipart To
the right is also wide space and then comes the
fat Jouhaux with his lying on the rolls of fat
around his neck, together with Mertens. All the
national groups keep to themselves and are almost
constantly engaged in eager conversation
Only this form of unity" made it possible for
the chairman to open the Congress with speech
which surprised not only the Congress and the gen
eral public but also the majority of the executive
itself, because the speech said something quite diff
ferent from the policy of the l. F. T. IT, or better
than the policy of the majority of the executive
committee of the l. F. T.. U. And only in this In
ternationa could the incredible happen, that i'm
medately after the speech of the chairman, the
vice-chairman got up and declared before the whole
world that he disavowed the chairman and that the
latter must be held personally responsible for his
speech as he, the vce-chairman and a number of
other members of the executive had directly oppo-
site opinions or as another member of the execu-
tive expressed it later in the day. the speech of the
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-09-03
By AUGUST ENDERLE

chairman was an insult to the majority of the
executive.
II those not in the know were of the opinion on
the first day that the speech of Purcell was the
expression of personal anger and ANNOYANCE and
represented a personal deviation from the general
line the second day showed them clearly enough
that the speech was deliberate attempt to bring
the matters in question out into the open before the
general public. For years the chairman and with
him the second British member of the executive the
secretary of the /. F. T. U. Brown, have been
treated liked puppets by clique represented by
Oudegeest, Jouhaux and Sassenbach; they have been
shamelessly deceived and kept in the dark This
Clique had so estimated the patience and the "sim-
plicity" of the British representatives and of the
pro forma" chairman, that they even had the in
science and hypocrisy to express through the mouths
of Jouhaux and Mertens moral indignation at the
Russian" methods of the British representatives
before the whole congress. This caused the bomb
to burst. With almost incredible calm j. w. Brown,
who had been greately slandered, exposed the bot
tomless meanness of Oudegeest and his friends He
showed by means of the l. F. T. u. under Dude
geest completely at the orders of the Interna-
tonal Labor Office in Geneva and thus under the
thumb of the League of Nations and the interna-
tional n1periasts but also the treachery of Dude
geestand his friends in sabotaging the unity of the
proletariat in order to carry on a campaign against
the Soviet Union. With, documentary evidence,
Brown proved that Oudegeest, Jouhaux and their
friends have sabotaged international trade union UNI
ty at the behest and in agreement with world CAPT
tallsm and that they have used all possible means
to prevent union of the western proletariat with
the workers of the Soviet Union and of China. "The
Russians honest in their desire for unity it is
time that should go to the attack" wrote
Oudegeest to his honorable friend Jouhaux The

world has nov seen their attack clearly enough It
flood of lies and meanness in cooperation
with Chamberlain Now the workers of the world
know it, see it in black and white That is the
only good thing about this stirring up of the stink
ing Amsterdam morass.
What the deeper causes and the consequences
of this antagonism which has shown itself here be-
tween the British and the Amsterdam trade union
leaders Is the policy of these two sections towards
capitalism so bascaly different? Are the present
leaders Of the British trade unions, the Plrcels the
Hicks and the Browns revolutionaries while Dude
geest and his colleagues are reformists? No Dude
geest and his colleagues no longer "reformists"
they are the conscious agents Of capitalism and they
act accordingly, just the Thomas and Hodges
in Great Britain. Purcell, Hicks and Brown are
real reformsts who have still some connection with
the class struggle. They are, and that is probably
the decisive factor under the immediate pressure of
the British proletariat which is suffering under
severe offensive of capitalism. The British leaders,
Purcell and his colleagues are therefore not able
to take part in this conscious treachery at the be-
hest of capitalism; they need immediate assistance
in their struggle against British capitalism and that
explains their conditional urge towards unity with
the Russian unions and above all with the workers
of the Far East That is the reason for their revolt
against the imperalist methods of the Amsterdam
bureau.
How will the serious crisis in the L F. T. u end
Will Purcell and Brown disappear from the leader
ship of the /. F. T. U. at the will of the German
French Belgian and Dutch reactonaries? Every
thing depends upon the energy and determination of
the British delegation. If the British delegation
stands firmly behind Purcell then he will probably
remain in the leadership for otherwise his dis
mlssal would cause the acute danger of a break
between the British union and the l. F. T. u.
Should, however, the British delegation split on the
subject, then probably another Britisher will be-
come chairman. In any case, the matter will be
pushed into the commissions
