to these two would, in that period have maintained
Upton Sinclair in American critical esteem, if they
had been of a different tendency; not to realize
that is to be ignorant of American criticism and
its fashions. 1t was The fashion to sneer at Upton
Sinclair and to accept the yellow journal pictures
of him. in which he represented mere
sensation-monger and fool to boot.
George Brandes, generally accounted the worlds
greatest modern critic, astonished at this Amer
lean neglect of one of its greatest writer's; visit
ing this country in 1914, he took pains to say the
reporters who met him at the steamer that there
three American novelists whom he found worth
reading, of these being Upton Sinclair. The
statement it generally appeared in the press
referred only to Frank Norris and Jack London,
emitting Upton Sinclairs name altogether. Doubt
less it was naively regarded incredible that any
one should really take this disreputable muck
raker" seriously. And it not until a
rebellious literature and criticism emerged after the
war; under the leadership of Sinclair Lewis and H.
l.. Mencken, that Upton Sinclair was again
toned among American writers by any reputable
native critic, who not Socialist.

DAILY WORKER that picking letters out
of a typewriter, after writing heads,
editorials and trying to find out what is
happening in half dozen world capitals
is cruel and unusual punishment. Letters
written in such physical condition might
drive the recipient to reading the New
York (Porno) Graphic.
But like the three wise men of the east
who saw the star in the west which led
them to the stable in Bethlehem, we also
see star in the west, though we have been
waiting for it to come our way so long
that we now see two stars instead of one.
When this star eventually arrives the staff
will be augmented by one individual and
the clouds of gloom that have been hang
ing over three over-worked slaves will be
dispelled somewhat.
Poets whose compositions have gone
into the waste basket by mistake, writer's
whose names have been omitted for the
same reason and cartoOnists whose draw
ings have been vivisected to suit make
up mans fancy, are appealed to in humble
ness of spirit to stop grinding their teeth
in righteous wrath and to begin turning
out masterpieces for The New Magazine.

THE powerful Belgian Socialist Party, which for
its size boast large collection of cab
met ministers any Socialist Party in the world
is beginning to crack its continued support of
capitalist governments makes it and more
unpopular with the Belgian working class. Its
leader, Emile Vandervelde, the revisonis who long
before the war had discovered" that Marxism was
"out of date" and who during the and postwar
period was his majesty's minister in various cab
NETS and even prime minister for a time is at
present part of coalition government in which
the capitalist parties have majority of the min
listers.
The Belgian masses. who for long time fol-
lowed Vanderyelde blindy as a result of his prom
ises that the working class Of Belgium would get
some definite advantages out of his participation
in various cabinets, find their lot slowly yyolsenng
instead of getting better Consequently. they are
beginning to desert the Socialist Party and at
the same time, an opposition, left wing move
ment, IS growing up within that organization. The
man who has succeeded in putting himself at the
head of the opposition for the moment is De Brouck
ere, tan old time orthodox Marxst" of the Kaut-
skian SCHOOL,. He is playing the game of left leader
to prevent the opposition movement from going too
far to the left and his real attitude is revealed
by the fact that he has been and still continues to
be delegate from Belgium to the League of Ma
lions, and thus participates in the super-goveIn-
ment of imperialism. Nevertheless he sounded the
warning at the special congress Of the Belgian La
Dor Party in Brussels recently to the effect that
1ufther participation IN the coalition government
would result in the disintegration of the party He
declared that the party and the parliament in
which its deputies make up the largest single party
bloc, had capitulated before the bankers who are
the real masters of Belgium, He felt that all the
Socialist Parties of Europe were standing at the
crossroads, that if they continued the path of
cooperation with capitalist governments and coali-

up IN the capitalist system and viii have ceased to
represent the interests of labor and its struggle
for emancipation. 81 have confidence in the tri-

THE New Magazine is as hungry for
J. short stories of approximately twelve
hundred words, as an evangelist is for
wealthy sinner. The proletarian woods are
full of writers who can draw word pic
ture of things that happen around them
Poetry is welcome though, to paraphrase a
heavenly invitation, many may come but
not all will be chosen. cartoonists are the
salt of the earth, without them our press
would look like a file of the Weekly Peo-
pie. In addition to the decorative value of
cartoon there is more propaganda con-
densed in good drawing than in several
hundred phrases.
Since The New Magazine is not in posi-
tion to pay, for anything except the print

that our week is one long day, we urge
our contributors who may not receive even

LOOKS LIKE:
 HARD WINTER

YOSEMITE, Cal. Nov. 21-- Heap plenty snow this winter Many acorns fall on ground. Squir- rels cut lot pine cones; put away for big snows when pine seeds taste much good. Injun squaw busy getting plenty sacks acorn to make Jnjun bread. All signs much snow in mountains"
 These predictions coming from Chief Ungwah-Too-Tah, of the To- cal tribe, point toward stormy winter for this section of the high Sierras.
 The presence of an unusual number of bear and deer on the floor of Yosemite Valley at this time is considered by some of the residents to be indicative of a long, hard winter. Already drop in temperature is being noted each evening.
 Ice skating, the first winter sport, will probably commence about December first.

BOYCOTT ON BEEF
HELDDESTRUCTVE
Head of Live Stock ASsocia-
tion Assails Action OF
Boston Hotel Men.

By the Associated Press.
-- BOSTON, December IA plea
that the city of Boston Hotel Asso-
citation reScind its recent resolution
asking that patrons of Boston hotels
refrain from ordering beefsteaks or
roast beef until price and quality
return to normalcy" was made yes
terday by Martin O.. Bnment of Buf-
falo. " V. president of the National
Live Stock Association.
In telegram To the Associat ID
Press Mr.. Bement characteri2es the
hotel mems action as "unwarranted,
selfish and destructive" and asserts
that beef boycott would strike its
chief blows at the farmer" He urged
that the Boston Chamber of Com.
ntrce investigate the matter.
He said that beef was not plentiful,
due to a decline in feeding. because If
high production costs, but that good
beef could be had in the Eastern mar
kets
The present situation" he said, lis
not a satisfactory condition tn the
packers. They are not making money
at the prCG"nt time on beef. The
farmer is reaping whatever benefits
are being obtained from the present
price OF cattle.
THE price at which beef is selling
now. only about 20 per cent higher
than two years ago. is adequate for
the first time in seven years to pay
production costs. The wholesalers
have not been able to get price for
beef that represents first cost.
1T appears. then. by the action OF
the hotel association that Boston IS
only willing to take beef when it can
buy il at a loss to the producers. Hotels
throughout the United States except
ing Boston are regulating the price #
beef on their menus in accordance with
the wholesale price without calling it
to the attention of their patrons.
believe Boston hotels should adopt
this example, as I understand the
additional cost is but 10 cents an
order
The hotel association in making
public it's resolution on December 3
said that prices of beef were higher
and quality poorer than at any time
in many years. The association (
resolution apparently aroused only
passing interest here and resulted in
little. public discussion.
