More Slaps for the Farmers.

The special session of congress osensby called to pro-

the house representatives Introduction of the bill indicates
that robber tariff making has been transferred from the New
England of Coolidge and Butler to the home state of Andy
Mellon secretary of the treasury to Pennsylvania of big
industry and great finance.
The lumber trust spoke through Chairman Willis c.
Hawey r. Oregon co-author of the BILL who put shingles
and several varieties of lumber especially those used by
farmers the duabe lists well brick cement alum
and plate glass The gigantic financial interests of the
MELONS are especially with the last two items
while cement is chiefly produced in Pennsylvania.
One of the jokers the proposed bill the increase
the duty from to 25 cents per bushe The imports
of corn however, have been only about five onehundrdths
of per of the total production of the country
Similarly with cotton, which stays the free list, while
there the duties incoming cotton goods
particularly those of finer grades.
This is sufficient of an analysis show that finance
capital continues manipulate the tariff an increasing
scale for it's own advantage protecting the home market
for its products and profits The cost of living of the
city and land worker increased under these tariff proposals
One statstcian says the tariff legislation proposed will cost
the farmers $4OO0O0OO0 This of the
and agricultural worker the most oppressed section
of the agrarian masses.

American imperialism is at pres

ing the Nicaraguans and suppress
ing the Haitians with it's marines;
interfering in the affairs of Mexico
with~an eye towards domination, if
not annexation. On the whole world
arena, in spite of Kellogg's peace
proposals, America is fast heading
for another world war. In this gem
eral situation it is time for the wav-
ering elements, the intellectuals of
the type of Du Bots, to desert the
struggles of the Negro masses.
In the last war Du Bots said to
the Negro masses, "Let us close
ranks" 'let us put aside our quar-
rel about the lynchings and abuses
of American capital and support the
capitalist government in the war"
For this he was given a captains
rank in the army and later sent on
a mission as High Potentate" to
Liberia by President Harding. So

mendous Importance to the Negro

Social Equality Not What
Negroes Want"

The real crux of Du Bois's speech
was in his reply to Stoddard's dec
laration that what the Negroes
wanted was social equality" This,
Stoddard, of course, is bitterly OPP
posed to. Du Bots emphaticsaly de-
MED this by saying that "the first
thing for white people to do is to
get this idea out of their heads"
In denying it, Du Bots is not only
rstreating from his former position
but is giving up one of the basic
struggles of the Negroes in Amer
lea, especially the working masses.
Negroes and Class Struggle.
The situation in American is that
the class struggle is getting sharper
and sharper; the Negro toilers are
more and more being crushed under
the heel of American capitalism and
imperialism. This oppression and
exploitation is pushing the Negro

She no longer feared passing the
dark corners Of the deserted factory.
The little tongue of flame in the
lamp burnt, dim and strange, in a
bulb dirtied by finger-marks; and the
rosette-shaped lampshade, attached
to cord of furnished flex, hung like
a frozen flower.
Gleb was lying on the bed.
Through his dropping eyelashes he
was drowsily regarding Dasha.
No, this was not Dasha, not the
former Dasha. That Dasha was
dead. This was another woman,
with sunburnt, weathered face and
stubborn, opinionated chin. Her
face seemed larger under the fiery
red kerchief with which her head
was bound.
CHE was undressing at the table.
Her hair was bobbed. She was
chewing a crust of her rationed
bread and did not look at him. He
watched her face, tired but tense and
stern as though she were clenching
her teeth. Did he embarrass her?
Or was she trying not to disturb his
repose? Or did she not sense the
change that had come into her life
with his arrival? His Dasha was
/ strange and remote,
He decided to test her.
explain this question to ME,
Dasha: Firstly, l was in the army.
Secondly, I've been fighting, and
haven't had home of my own, nor
an hour to myself. Now I've come
home, in my own house, and you are
not part of it. I've been hanging
round waiting for you here like de-
serted mongrel, and l haven't slept
at nights. After all, you know we
haven't seen each other for three
years"
She was not frightened at his
voice: remained just as she was
when she came in. She spoke with
out looking at him.

"That's so, and you don't seem
very happy about it. What does
that mean? Do you remember the
night when we parted? I was all
bruised and beaten and hadn't
properly come to myself yet. Do
you recollect how you nursed me up
stairs in the attic, as though | was
a little child? How you cried when
we parted! Why are you so cold
now?"

"That home of ours, I've forgotten

"Well, well! And where shall we
have a home then? In this rat

Dasha gazed attentively at him
from under her lowered brows. She
twisted the red kerchief in her
fingers. Then she leant forward, her
fists upon the table (there was nc

LIE had cried this word in tones too
III loud for the place in which they
were cooped; he had shouted with all
his strength IS he used to do when
in the army. The workmen stopped
and drew together, immobile.
Brothers, it's true then: the belly
must be filled. I've been fighting
over there and I'm going to fight
here. We're going to fight to get
the factory started. I shall peg out,
or explode or go mad, but will get
this factory going. I may get burnt
alive, but the smoke-stacks will be
smoking and the machinery will be
turning. I'll bet my head on it,"
The workmen stood shuffling
their feet and blinking in confusion
and surprise.
Get it going, Gleb! That's what
I say. Go to it, boy! Here's my
hump on it! Fine!"
Grenada, burning as with fever,
ran laughing round the table.
Gleb shuddered, spasmodiC
choking in his throat. Through the
window he saw, passing along the
concrete path, leaning heavily upon
a stick, a stoop-shouldered old man
with the appearance of a gentleman
But no, this is no old man, it is a
tall man with silver beard. 1t is the
engineer, Kleist. Again he stood in
Gleb's path, as he had done before.
