question or steady dating.
First OF all | think that girls
Un@:r sixteen are too young to
have dates. This docs not mean
that it ism t all right for them
to go to an occasional party with a
boy Of the same age or only slightly
older But to have dates as the
word is usually accepted is not in
good taste and reflects on the par
cnts of the girl
AS for going with one boy to the
exclusion OF all others, 1 think that
it is a great mistake in girls IN their
teens and early twenties and l re-
gard it as utter folly in younger
girls. If they could only realize
how short a time they have to be
happy and carefree before they are
tied down with the many response
bilities of marriage, l believe that
they would keep free of all en-
tangling alliance" adopt a sort of
personal Monroe Doctrine in regard
to the boys Propinquity is a great
factor in developing love. Many
youthful marriages that fail griev-
ously are the direct result of steady
dating over a period of months or
years. 1t is far better to go about
with different young men until ones
mind is made up about the sort one
wants Some one said very truly
that there can be no love without
comparison.
In small towns when girls start
having oates early should say that
two oates a week is a great plenty
and those on Friday and Saturday
nights. In all cases I think the mat
ter should be governed by the par
ents' wishes.
My Dear Miss, Lee, Do YOU think it is
wrong for girl of IA years to date? II

Dear Madge: 7 have answered
your questions partially above. How
ever, if your are deceiving the boys
about your age I should advise you
to change your tactics at once. Tell
them the truth and you will find
that they will like you just as we'll
When you can't go places they will
understand much better if they
know how young you are. If you
don't do this, you will find yourself
entangled in ar endless mess of

not stay out after 1920.

Militant R.R. Workers
Fight Betrayal

LONDON, July Sat the annual
meeting of the National Union OF
Railwaymen now being held in Eng
land, ]. H. Thomas, secretary of the
union, and the former Colonial Secre-
tary in MacDonald's Government, in
formed the railroad workers that they
must prepare themselves for a wage
decrease" This advise came after
Thomas, together with other union
bureaucrats, was invited to confer
ence by the railroad companies In
which he was asked to agree to
wage cut,
Thomas is opposed to any move on
the part o. the union to fight against
the proposed wage decrease and
frightening of hours. He openly de-
clared that he believes wage cut to
be "inevitable."
A large section of the union is
bitterly fighting against Thomas and
is agitating for strike action if the
proposed wage cut is put into effect.

Many are the sad tales of the brave
boys of our land who went away to
: war loving their country, came back
heroes to be seized, robbed of their
freedom, had someone apply for com
pensation for them which they did
not themselves receive, exploited and
battered around without knowing just
how or Why.
And it is difficult for anyone to UNI
derstand the shameful way their
helplessness has been turned to ac-
count for the profit of crafty midi
viduals, for it is hard to believe these
things would happen in our day and
that we would permit it. Let us hear
the account of John w. Darnell:
II was seized on May 20, 1921, by
the State of Missouri, in st. Louis,
without warrant, or an Indictment or
a charge against me, and held con-
fined without trial until on June
7th, 1921, when the State of Missouri
discriminate against my Montana
citizenship, my former U. s. army
service and my constitutional rights
by transferring me out of state juris-
diction and into federal jurisdiction
without according me the right of
defense. I was held in federal i'm
prisonment until October 2, 1927.
"On January IL, 1922 Missouri
held an unlawful state action while
was then III federal confinement and
without my knowledge or defense
against such action, it appointed an
unlawful guardian over my "person
and estate" although | had no estate
in Missouri and my "person" was in
federal keep. Then someone made
fraudulent claims that my former
military service required the payment
of federal compensation, which false
claims were disallowod the first time,

RALLY STRIKERS
TO MILLS JULY 9
Mill Committee Calling
Thousands to Picket

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, July g.
Most important among the preparat-
DRY measures adopted by the New
Bedford Textile Workers Union of the
Textile Mills Committee in rallying
the strikers to meet the bosses chal-
lenge to open the mills July with
great mass picket demonstrations, are
the circulars which are being distrib-
uted by the tens of thousands.
Headed by the slogans, "Textile
Strikers Stand Firm" and Eight to
a Finish" the following leaflet called
for turnout of tens of thousands
next Monday:
after twelve weeks of successful
fighting, N when the mill owners
have used every conceivable method
of breaking our fight we still stand
firm. The mill owners have used all
forms of intimidation, dubbed our
picket lines, thrown our leaders in
jail, yet the fight goes on. Our picket
lines are growing bigger. The spirit
and determination of the workers to
win is growing by leaps and bounds.
"The mill owners, because of their
thirst for profits, are very anxious
to open the mills. They will do every
thing from now on until July 9th to
break our strike. From now up till
July 9th every worker must redouble
his energy on the picket line. Not a
single scab, not a single yellow-belly
should enter the mills. The workers
must turn out in thousands on the
picket line in answer to the mill own
ers' attempt to open the mills.
cat this time we must more than
ever rally around the banner of our
union. The New Bedford Textile
Workers Union has shown that it is
the only textile union that fights
most militantly for all the textile
workers.
'The textile barons will try to open
the mills with wage cut. If they do
not succeed in this attempt, they will
try to open the mills by giving the
workers back their wage cut and in
Producing the speed-up, so-called la
Dor extension plan. We warn the
workers that the officials of the A.
F, T. 0. and the U. T. w. are COM
mitted to the idea of (speed-up) CO.
operation. To go back to work un-
der the speed-up system would be
worse thar the wage cut.
eve must make the bosses agree
to the demands of our union. Every
textile worker must join the New
Bedford Textile Workers Union"

BREAK UP RALLY
ON HIRED FIEL. D.;
NEW LOT Rented
Hundreds Stream Into
Mill Union

FAIL RIVER. Mass, July 3.-The
Fall River police suffered another
highly liscomforting defeat at the
hands of the Textile Mills Committee
when they again attempted to disrupt
another mass meeting Of textile
workers held Monday All the elabor-
ate preparations to break up the union
meeting on the lot they had an option
on went to naught as the union
leaders transferred the meeting to
another lot and hello highly enthusi-
astic meeting attended by thousands,
Hundreds of workers are streaming
into the Mill Committee.
The Textile Mills Committee secured
an option en- a large empty lot at 80
Mulberry ST., after the police here had
tcrrorized Fall River hallkeepers into
canccllinr every contract they signed.
Police Ruse.
In spite of having completely ter
rorized the woman who is part owner
of the lot with her son, the police
failed to change the option document
hecause it was the son who had signed
tie legal papers. The police there
fore attempted another ruse. They
put signs up around the boundaries
OF the lot and modified large squads
If police to surround it, just before
the meeting.
When the speakers arrived they
found large groups of police holding
off a crowd of thousands of textile
workers. Peter Hegelias who was
scheduled to be chairman of the meet
ing. then marched in to the center of
the field and began to speak. The
police Immediately grabbed Hegelias,
and after manhandling him placed
him under arrest for trespassing.
James Ried, head of the Fall River
TING. and Albert Weisbord, national
leader of the TING then forced their
way 10 the middle Of the plot of
ground. The crowd of thousands
surred in after them. Just as Ried
began to speak, the police again
launched an attack. this time on the
mill workers, leaving Ried and Weis-
bord untouched. This was done, it
is Obvious, because the tresrassing
