HONOLULU, Hawaii, Aug. 10
The anniversary celebration of the
landing of Captain Cook on the
Island, in ITS, is being used here
as an occasion for the display of
American military and naval power,
that is calculated to awe all watch

eminent, aroused by the display of
American force, is rushing three
battle ships to participate in the
ceremonies.
The United States governments
has sent its secretary of war,
Dwight Davis, to bring an intimate

bell of liberty. But now the bell is
cracked, and so is liberty cracked
in this country.
Saturday evening, July rs, while
speaking at an open-air meeting at
goth and Cumberland Sts., an Amer
lean legionnaire resented the state
ment that Coolidge is a strike
breaker, and that Hoover represents
big business and not the workers,
and that the Soviet Union is the
only government that gives free
dom to the toiling masses.
This legionnaire, this rat. this
fascist, made an attempt to break
up the meeting, but failed. A squad
of policemen from the 31st district
were called by the legionnaire and
succeeded in getting me arrested
fifth time within a week., charg-
ing me with "seditious utterances
against the u. S. government" A
comrade came to the police station
to get copy of the charge to have
me released, When he arrived at
the station he was detained in Jail
with the same charge.
For two days none of the magis-
trates wanted to sign the bail to
have us released, and therefore we
had to sleep two nights m the stink
ing prison.
Until when will this be kept UP?
The workers are beginning to get
tired of this kind of democracy"
The workers must and will organize
to abolish this corrupt system of
society. Then, when that day VIII
come, these oppressors. these ex-
ploiters. these reactionaries of to-
day, will be given the same kind
Of democracy that the workers en-
joy under their regime.

Give Out P atriotic
Leaflets

READING, Pa. (By Mail} The
campaign to organize the unorgan-
lied workers of Reading, launched
by the socialist party members
and officials Of the Federated Trade
Council, to superficial observer
would seem as a serious attempt to
really organize the scores of thou
sand unorganized workers in Read
ing and vicinity.
A close observation, however, Of
this "join the union" drive, a careful
study of the literature of the same,

the nature and purpose of the cam
paign, that no real support is lent

pursued is that Of trailing along,

must be based on the concrete is
sues and demands that arise from
the very problems and conditions of
the workers.
To attempt to organize the work
ers on issues that have nothing in
common with the interests of the
workers, as put forward in Read
ing by the Socialist" party mem
bers, such as "self-respecting Amer
lean citizenship" "boost Reading.
for better American city to live
in" "unionism means peace and har
mony in industry" "unionism is for
the workers and not against any
one" ard the like. This is, in re-
atty, only bringing illusions and
confusion into the minds of the
workers. Such treacherous and
anti-working class policy Of the So
cialist official trade union leader
ship can be understood when we
realize the fact that the Socialist"
party is nothing but the third party
of the capitalist class. the party
that represents the interests of
small business and professional peo-
pie.
Instead we find the Socialist"
party members and the trade union
officials appealing to the workers
to organize on the basis of what?
In leaflet, what America Means"
distributed at the open-air meet
ings, we read, "For one hundred
and fifty years Americanization has
meant equality Of opportunity, for
the poor as well as for The rich, for
the worker as we'll as for the en-
ployer." And, "Trade unionism is
to be self-respecting Americanism
that carries over into industry the
principles of democracy. That is
why great neutrality-suspicious.,
judges, clergymen, priests-believe
so strongly in labor unionism.'

CANTON, Ohio (By MaiD -Four
hundred clippers and 100 grinders
working for the Central Alloy Steel
Company Of this city are on strike
This is the third time that the
men have gone out since the COM
pany has lowered their pay. The
men have organized into the Central
Alloy Mill Committee and have put
up their demands.
On July 25, without any notice,
the men were cut from fifty-two
and half cents an hour plus the
bonus, to forty-five cents an hour,
and the bonus was cut. The wages
dropped from six and seven dollars
day to five dollars and fifty cents,
On July 27, in a peculiar manner,
Mr., Seldom, the superintendent,
raised the scale to So cents and as
sured the men that they would earn
more than Sc day.
But what did they find? They
discovered that instead of more
than Sc they were getting only
$4.40 a day. That was the limit,
and on Monday, August 6, the 500
men walked out.
The company has plant in Mas
sillon, about eight miles from here.
One of the employment officers in
formed the committee of the men
that they would split the difference
between the pay in Massillon and
Canton, and give them the differ
ence. In other words, the company
is determined to cut wages also in
Massillon.
The steel workers will not stand
for it. They have issued a leaflet
putting forth the following de-
mands: Sc for an s hour day, the
removal of Mr.. Seldom, the superin-
tendent, who is the cause of most
of the trouble 10 the plant, and the
recognition of the Central Mill
Committee.
The leaflet which the men issued
calls on the other men in the mill
to come out on strike, and tells
them that if the clippers and grin
ders lose the strike, wages will go
down all round. There is no ques-
ton of this, for as the employment
officer informed the men, the steel
manufacturers association have de-
cided on the wage scale, and evil
IDENTIFY decided that the beginning
must be made in Canton.
Four of the men were arrested
last night for distributing the leaf
let of the Mill Committee but were
Immediately released on bail.

RESEARCH AIDS
CAR BUYER

The most remarkable achievement
of the automobile industry in recent
years has been the removal Of guess
work from automobile design, in the
opinion of William B. Barnes, re-
search engineer for Auburn.
"Only a few years back" says
Barnes, there was always a hest
fancy on the part of the buying pub
lie to purchase a new model until 1t
had been in production for some
time and many thousand were on
the road.
To-day, automobile manufacturers
bring out new models and the pub
lie accepts them without question,
the tendency of individuals now be-
ing to be first on the streets with
one Of them.
"Unquestionably the most illustra-
tive example of this attitude was the
new Ford car when thousands Of
orders were placed for Model A long
before specifications were ever an
nounced.
"In my opinion the chief reason
for this change in attitude has been
the work of the experimental and
research apartments OF automobile
factories. and the thorough testing
| out Of every part in it's relation to
the completed car by these engi-
neers. Automobile companies have
learned from experience that q new
car must be right before it is Of
fered the public and the public has
accepted this measure OF certainty.
1T il this checking up before
hand by manufacturers. this testing
of improvements under every con-
dition, that has done much to take
the bugs out of new models, and
instill confidence with the public"

Burglars Return Vain,
Got SIS. 900 First TriT

CINCINNATI, Nov. 7.-Burglars
who two years ago robbed the home
Of Timothy s. Goodman, manager
OF the Container Corporation OF
America and obtained $4,000 in
jeweiry, apparently were the ones
who revisited the house.
They pinned newspaper clippings

walls before attacking the safe. This
they were unable to open. although
they battered off the knob. They

The Washington times., 1928-11-07

That being the case, the question
arises whether the same shopping
technique will be used this year
which vas employed in years gon
by. and whether the shopping
methods OF yesterday will prove
sufficient. Is making a choice as
easy as it was in former years. Or
has the plethora Of types available
complicated the shopping process?
These are questions that are be.
Ing asked by the far.sighted
individual who Ii contemplating g
car shopping journey along auto.

questions and deserving of gOodly
measure OF consideration before the
iaunt Is started. Determining the
correct answer in advance probably
will serve greatly to simplify the
actual process Of acquiring 2 new
automobile.
No ''EIit or Miss.
Purchase of millions upon mil
lions of motor cars during the last
few years has served to place car
buying on q much more intelligent
plane than It Heretofore had
occupied. Hit or miss" buying
has gone by the boards quite gen.
orally. but perpetuation Of this de-
sirable end still requires constant
alertness
In some ways, modern car
shopping has been vastly simplified.
IN others, Il has become more com
plex. Either way, it has evolved
into something infinitely NOR.
interesting than it ever was before.
The veteran motorist in whose
bonnet the new car bee Is buzzing
readily win attest to this fact.
What are the factors that have
sifnplified automobile purchasing In
this era? They can be tabulated
rather definitely. In the first
place. and perhaps most important.
the man who fares forth along auto
mobile row today does not have 70
worry about getting lemon.
FIexibiiity means q capacity of
adjustment to driving conditions.
If the car can be throttled down for
hea " traffic and reach high speeds
when conditions permit, 1t Is flexible.
The truly flexible car 10 one that
handles with ease and performs
with minimum effort at all speeds.
Complex dob, Too
These. then. are the chief aspects
OF the simplification Of motor car
buying.
The factors that have served to
make the process OF acquiring a
successor to ones present automo-
bile more complex are more diff
cult precisely to define. While the
prospect may rest assured that car
values are sound, and while he is
better equipped to recognize values,
the array Of body styles and the
fact that there are but small shades
DC difference I'm certain car per.
fOrmancee may make his shopping
more complex.
In the old days, the motorist had
TO confine his choice to approx
1nately five standard body types.
Choosing the one of the five that
came closest to fitting his needs was
somewhat Of q task before the
closed car became 50 overwhelm.
