Americanism Teacher Warns
South to Beware of Drive
By Communistic Agitators
BY international Labor News Service

BY International Labor News Service.
Miami, Fla.-How the communists,
long a more or less known quantity in
northern and western states in the
labor movement and in other circles,
have begun furtherance of destructive
efforts in the South is told by Eta v.
Leighton, civic secretary of the Ma
tional Security League, New York,
here studying conditions and lectur-
ing.
"The South must realize" Miss
Leighton says, "that prosperity is not
easily acquired. 1t is purchased at a
price. With prosperity and new in
dustries come all the problems that
have harassed other prosperous Sec
tions of our country. Already cer-
tain southern states are being invad-
ed by the apostles of unrest. They
follow the industries like vultures.
Red Ideas Reach Workers
"Subtly disguised communistic doc
trines, equally subtle attacks on our
constitution, on American ideals of
government, are reaching workers
and students. Ideas cannot be killed.
They can only be accepted or re-
jected."
The first of the southern states to
be invaded by these apostles of un-
rest" Miss Leighton finds, are the
Carolinas, while other points where
industrial expansion is active are also
becoming infested with communistic
agitators.
The development of bureaucratic,
paternalistic government which takes
away more and more power from the
states until state lines are practically
wiped out, she believes, is creating
conditions favorable to the spread of
communism.
Wrong Idea of Liberty
F'lfty-four per cent of American
children leave school between the fifth
and sixth grades, she points out, and
receive no school training which
gives them proper understanding of
American constitutional government
With the large influx from Europe,
where for centuries there has been an
inborn recognition of the old order of
government in which the state, rath-
er than the individual, is supreme

MORE HEAT ORDERED
IN NEW YORK HOMES

New York-The city board of
health has ruled that landlords Of
apartment houses must supply to
their tenants SO degrees of heat be-
tween o'clock in the. morning and
10 o'clock at night whenever the tenn
perature on the street is 55 degrees

"It is estimated" said Health
Commissioner Harris, chat there are
100000 children under the age of s
years and more than 100000 persons
over the age of 70 years in the city,
in addition to the large number Of
persons who are suffering from va
rious forms Of sickness during the
winter months. This provision of heat
is required for this large number, and
we consider that it is essential on

VACCINATION
SHIELDS MAY DE-
VELOP LOCKJAW

Washington - Surgeon General
Cumming, of the United States
Health, warns against the use of any
sort of vaccination shield or dressing
either at the time of or following
vaccination against smallpox.
Investigations show that such
dressings produce conditions in the
wound which are favorable to the de-
velopment of lockjaw. The vaccinated
spot will usually retain it's natural
covering, the skin itself, and in most
cases develop dry scab. If an open
sore develops an antiseptic dressing
may be applied. Several layers of
gauze pinned to the inside of loose
fitting sleeve is perhaps best for this
purpose, said DIR. Cumming.

Cities Strongly Organized
By United Textile Workers
Not Hit in Latest Pay Cuts

England in the cotton mills is less
than SID week, according to McMa-
hon. And this latest reduction fol-
lows a series of cuts since the war
with one increase which was quickly
taken away besides host of "ad-
justments" within the mills which do
not get posted as wage slashes but
affect the pay envelope just the same.
Southern competition is the excuse
of the northern mill owners.
Woolen Mills Not Affected
Cheney Brothers, one of the most
important silk manufacturing COM
panies, with a plant at South Man
chester, Conn, joined the ranks of
the wage cutters, but the wooden in
dustry has not.
At the mass meeting here, which
was called by the Central Labor
Union, letter from Mgr. James E.
Cassidy, Vicar General of the Fall
River Diocese of the Roman Catholic
Church, was read. 1t condemned the
wage reduction as a grave wrong
81 am convinced that the recently
announced reduction in wages" he
wrote, mot to speak of other reduc-
tions not publicly announced but
nevertheless repeatedly but covertly
put into effect, is not only grave
wrong to the wage Garner but is
bound inevitably to work the greatest
injury to the employer and to this
city's industry.
Unfair Pay Bans Good Will
Incorporation and good will are alb.
solutely necessary to the successful
conduct of any business. But what
good will and cooperation can be eX
pected of employees who are faced by
the sheer necessity of physical ne.
cessity to labor for wages which they
know to be inadequate and unfair-ir

she believes that at least one-third
of the population of the United States
now has the idea that liberty is a
gift of the state to it's people.
With this conception, which is typ
ical of the European and oriental mind
but foreign to the purpose of Amer
ica's founders, she finds large ele-
ment that is receptive to dictatorship,
which is linked inseparably with COM
munism.
"Our shores are not invaded by
hostile armies, but they are invaded
by hostile IDEALS" Miss Leighton
says. whether our government shall
stand a beacon to the rest of the
world, or fall in desolation, will be
decided in the next few years, is
being decided now by the knowledge
or ignorance, opinions and judgments
of the people. 1t is for them to de-
cree whether our government stands
or falls, or is changed into something
new and strange and it cannot stand
unless we, the people, stand by and
support the constitution of the
United States.

By International Labor News Service.
Fall River, Mass.-Forty thousand
cotton textile workers in New Eng
land have had their scanty wages
slashed another 10 per cent in the
middle of winter. This figure is the
estimate of Thomas F. Mcmahon,
president of the United Textile
Workers, who came to this city to
address mass meeting on the eve
of the cut.
The mills in this great textile CEN
ter do not recognize the q. t. W., but
deal with the dual organization, the
American Federation of Textile Oper-
atives, whose members here failed to
vote strike against the cut-lacking
only II votes of the necessary two
thirds.
Union Spirit Strengthened
The wage cuts, President Mcmahon
says, have been made in mills which
are not organized by the A. F. of L.
union, or where only nucleus of or
ganization exists. The effect of the
cuts, he says, has been to strengthen
union spirit among the workers, par
ticularly at Biddleford, Me-, where the
wave of cuts began; at Lewiston, Me-,
and at the Amoskeag Manufacturing
Company in Manchester, N. H., the
largest cotton mill in the world. The
/! wage cuts have been made by vir-
tually all the big mills in Maine, by
those in Fall River, and by others
scattered over New England. The
strong U. T. w. centers have not been
hit.

latter has a rumble seat built in the

An unusual demand has marked the
new line of Falcon-Knight skies which
made their initial appearance earlier
in the year. Although 1927 was the
first year Of Falcon-Knight produc-
ton. the first models established a
remarkable reputation for all-around
performance and the sales were not
ably high. Entering its second year
with a completely revised line of
cars, the demand during the current
year has exceeded the expectation OF
company sales executives. This has
resulted in increased car building
schedules TO meet the orders from
the field.
The Falcon-Knight organization, il
j. said. has profited materially from
the decided trend Of buyers toward
cars employing the Knight sleeve
valve engine. This trend has been
more noticeable in the Falcon
