Dell and Thomas Mitchell took a
poor blcke who wanted to do the
right thing by his Isabel and made
him go through three sweating acts,
simply because the mother Of the
unwanted child refused to marry the
willing father on the ground that the
demands of her artistic life pressed
more insistently on her than what
ever duty she owed to her child.
Norman Overlook, son of SOL

beck was about to rehearse for his
marriage to Madge Ferris among
the letters on his desk was one from
q maternity hospital in Chicago, in
viting him to visit the place and
talk matters over with the head of
the establishment.
This epistle did not help to re-
lieve the inflated cranial condition
under which Mr.. Overlook labored
as a result of tossing off cocktails
until the wee sma' hours of the
mornin', and his attempt to find a
way out of his dilemma with the
help Of a friend is good for much
giggling, and methinks the business
was overdone.
Mr.. Overlook left the visiting
clergyman, his fiance and all others
concerned standing at the church
and bounced off to catch a train for
Chicago. In the hospital there was
more comedy, two anxious fathers
being dragged in to illustrate the
fact that the pains of labor-at least
the psychological pains-are not
confined to the laboring mothers.
Miss Drury has decided to leave
the child with an adopting family
and betake herself to Paris, but the
responsible unmarried father would
not have it that way, so he kidnaps
the child and the third act finds him
trying to solve the problem of how
to feed the baby.

BRITISH DEMAND
ARGENTINE Ian D
FOR NAVAL BASES
To Hold Land Despite
Counter-claim

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 1S.-The
Argentine government will continue
to claim ownership of the Falklands,
South Georgia and the South Ork-
ney Islands, despite actual possess
sion by the British whose flag at
present flies over the islands, it was
revealed here today when the notes
exchanged between the two govern
ments were made public.
1t seems certain that the British
have no intention of relinquishing
the islands since they are strategic
points for naval bases and wireless
stations. The government protested
that Argentina had built a wireless
station in South Orkneys, which
are southeast of Cape Horn, but Ar
gentina replied that the islands are
hers, and that the Falklands are
hers, but she has been unable to take
possession of them because of
British occupation. Argentina took
formal possession of the Falklands
in 1888, but was forced a year later
to abandon them by the British.
Another point which has attracted
considerable attention is the British
competition in wireless and tele-
graph, which has recently resulted
in gains for United States interests.
1t is stated, although this has not
been confirmed, that the chief in
terests in the wireless station in the
South Orkneys are owned by Ameri-
cans.

though their wages have been great |
ly reduced, a most vicious speed-up
system has been installed. A great
many men have been displaced by
women and girls. The workers in
these mills are discharged at will
for they can easily be replaced. In
one mill for instance, they have
been told they must support the re-
publican ticket in order to hold their
jobs.
The potters' union is also a thing
of the past. The potters at one
time were among the bureaucrats
of American labor. The unskilled
workers were looked upon by the
potters with contempt and their at
tempts to organize were sabotaged.
The Sunday school strike of the pot
tiers for still higher wages has been
broken and the new casting system
installed. Under the casting sys-
tenn no skill is required, merely
brute strength and endurance. The
despised laborers have taken the
jobs and only few potters were
able to work under the new condi-
tions. The old bureaucrats have be-
come insurance and real estate
agents and some are employed to-
day as janitors. Among these can
be found the old leaders of the So
cialist party who had strongly
dominated the potters' union.
Prosperity" Is Bunk.
A great deal is being said about
prosperity. Have the workers of
Trenton prosperity? With the low
wages, the high rents and the high
cost of living there is no prosperity.
The standard of living has been
greatly reduced. Only the Roeblingss
the Murrays, the Stokes and the
Kusers can claim prosperity. To
these few Shylocks, gold is flowing
abundantly. The present misery of
the workers to these exploiters does
mean prosperity. Only they in their
greed can shout prosperity, pros
perity, we have prosperity" Can the
workers of Trenton with the great
unemployment, stand much longer
for this capitalist prosperity? Will
they permit themselves to be duped
by the lackeys, the capitalist press
and the A. F. of L. officials to also
shout prosperity when their chill
dren are ragged and hungry?
They will not. They will rally to
the standards of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party, the revolutionary
party of class struggle, the only
party which can overcome the evils
of capitalist prosperity by destroy
ing the root of the existing evil it.
