ENLISTED men
MADE WRECKS
IN The u. S, NAVY
Treated as Pariahs By
Better Class"
(By a Sailor Correspondent

All during his enlistment the
sailor is a slave, a chattel slave, his
shore leave is restricted to the
whims of his masters, he is looked
on as bum by the "better" class
of people, the class which will use
him to murder his fellow workers
to make profits for them. These
parasites despise the common sail
ors, workers sons, deny them en-
trance to first class theatres while
they are in uniform, thus forcing
these young workers to associate
with and patronize the whores who
in turn are controlled by the land
lords and exploiters who get the
service mems money from the har-
lots they control.
The Y. NJ. c. A. charges him
outrageous prices for their rooms
and if sailor is broke ashore he
can sleep in the gutter, as the Y.
NJ. G. a. only gives a room to those
who can pay for it. In foreign
ports the sailor is pOunced upon
and robbed - in most cases not al
lowed ashore.
In Cuba, at Guantanamo he is
drilled, ashore and on ship for
months. He wishes he were dead.
Of course there are sports, such
as fixed boat races, and boxing is
encouraged to entertain the officers.
Gets Worst Food.
The officers eat the best food, the
petty officers the next best and the
enlisted men such swill that there
is always an epidemic of boils and
sores.
The navy and army are used as
repressive agents against small CO.
lonial peoples and the working
class and in time of war the en-
listed men are sent to kill others
like themselves. Members of the
naval reserve and militia aare sent
to break strikes. The army and
navy do not make a man out Of
you, workers, they make murderers
and human wrecks out of you.

The Social Democratic Method.
No wonder, for ~ are social
democrats, the thugs of President
Masaryk and his masters. The next
day after the election, workers who
had been present at the count told
me what they said about US. They
said they didn't want "those destruc-
tive, dirty Communists there" But
nevertheless, they were surprised,
by finding four Communist votes,
more than we had a year ago. They
had me arrested for speaking to a
group of men here in our village
Rozhanovce but 1 was never tried
Later on l was again arrested
with comrade Tokarsky, from Kos
Size, also a third man, the farmer,
for allowing us to meet in his yard.
At this meet we had about $50
men to meet in his yard. The three
of us were tried. l was given three
days, and fined 46 crowns, the far
mer also being fined 46 crowns.
Last April 90 I received card
telling me to go at once and serve
my sentence, but l failed to go to
their dungeon because I had more
important place to go to. That was
to the May First demonstration in
the city of Kossice. 1 went to serve
my sentence all right, but on the
second, not the first of May. Nearly
1000 were at the Kossice demon
stration, though it rained all day.

WORKERS REBEL
IN ONE BRITISH
COLUMBIA CAMP
Look To the Industrial
Union for Lead
by a Worker Correspondent

by Worker Correspondent
VANCOUVER, B. C. (By MaiD.
For the past four or five years the
loggers in British Columbia have
been sleeping as far as their own
interests were concerned. Many of
The conditions the loggers won thru
litter struggle in 1918, 1919 and
1920, have been lost one by one
until today conditions in the camps
are almost unbearable.
Speed-up Unbearable.
The speed-up, with one man doing
the work of two or three, causing
ever more serious accidents is fore
ing open the eyes of the workers
while at the same time the bosses
are striving with might and main
to hold the loggers back from their
class interests. But the need of or
ganization is again being discussed
in the camps. This can be brought
to a head as the following case
shows.
What Solidarity Won.
AT Burnett's single bolt camp, a
typical hay-wire outfit-there is no
bath house or wash room, no pay
day but, instead an order for clothes
and tobacco issued to a local store
and most important of all supplies
the cook house are always short.
One morning the cook, a woman,
allied a meeting for the crew. 1t
vas decided to stay off the job until
heir demands were complied with.
late in the morning when the "bull
of the woods" appeared he was in
terviewed by two of the crew, the
cook being the spokesman. The boss
took the stand that he was willing
to improve conditions-seb regular
pay day and take back to work all
except the cook; she must get off
the job.
The crew stood solid and all went
down the road. On the practical
side this bit of solidarity got them
all back wages due, as a lasting
thing 1t developed ideas as to what
might be obtained from permanent
organization Several Of the crew
stated when next they went out to
a camp they would carry "organ-
izers supplies" from the Lumber
Workers Industrial Union.
With the pessimism disappearing
ike fog before a keen breeze and as
the sun appears with its invigorat-
ing ray, so is the day drawing near
er when we will see a powerful L.
W. l. Union on the Pacific slope
which by struggling for ourimmedi-
ate needs and against imperialist
war, will develop when the time is
ripe) in the last great showdown of
all, the social revolution.
Forward to a Militant Union in

ADMIRES NEGLIGENCE

We extract from the Worcester
Democrat (Pocomoke) via young Davy
Winebrenner's Frederick Citizen the
following remarks:
What we have to say, at this time,
is that we are perfectly satisfied with
the present administration. The Demo-
crat favored a three-time governor in
the person of Albert C. Richie, and it
has no reason to oppose another term
for the same man, if he desires to
return to his arduous duties. And we
take this stand because we do not
believe there is another man in the
State who is so we'll qualified by edu-
cation, experience integrity and all
around ability, to manage the affairs
incumbent upon the position, as is the
present Chief Executive"
We presume it was the Governors
"all-around executive ability" that let
the State road plundering proceed for
eight years without detection-until
the State lost a half million dollars.
Anyway it is interesting to know that
the Worcester Democrat admires neg
ligence in official station. Everyone
to their own liking, as the aged lady
remarked when she oscuIated the bo-
vine.-Baltimor Observer.

The Lords Day Alliance, a socie-
ty devoted to emphasizing the ad-

ance, ended the official program at
Mt. Lake Park on last Sunday. Sena-
tor Guy Golf, of West Virginia, was
the principal speaker of the day.
His address teemed with true
American principles, stressing the
fact that religion was the underlying
basis of American civilization. He
urged obedience to the enacted laws.
Senator Golf, lawyer by profess
sion, was assistant United States At

DRUG STORES

Pity the plight of DR.. George Cohen,
Berlin druggist. Arrived in New York,
Dr.. Cohen started out to look for
drug store, to see how it compared
with such institutions in Germany.
He couldn't find any. There were
stores that bore signs representing
them as drug stores, but were found,
on closer inspection, to be general
stores or refreshment stands. One of
them, which DR.. Cohen entered, was
so full of women getting beauty treat
ments and buying soaps and powders
and ice cream sodas and things, that
he fed. Nowhere could he find a
genuine chemist" or "apothecary"
shop.
Alas! The poor fellow would prob
ably have hunted through all the cities
of this great land without any more
success.
Our drug stores, as We quantity call
them, are all right for us. They are
a grand and glorious institution, serv-
ing a many-sided purpose. But they
fail to measure up to the standards

THE JINGLING ADVERTISER

The ingenious editor Of the Web
ster Journal out in South Dakota, is
enjoying the happy adventure Of put
ting the days news into rhyming cap
tions. Instead of blunt prose and
shouting headlines he juggles types
so that they tell the story in poetic
meter, a device which lends note
of gayety to happenings otherwise
drab. Probably some Of the Journal
subscribers now Justify sing the news
rather than read it.
The practice Of the Webster head
writer may lead to the recovery of a
lost art. The ancient world had its
joyous minnesingers and uoubadours
who acclaimed the legends and hap
penings Of the time in flowing stan
zas. The Middle Ages produced the
travelling ballad maker who put an
inn audience into a genial glow by his
rollicking verse.
And then came more practical days
to send the poetic muse into retire
ment until for some years now stoHd
prose has stalkej through newspaper
columns. If the Webster editors sug-
gestion is at all worth needing, edi-
torials might now be set to music, so
that dissertation on the tariff cap
lures the swing Of a sailors horn
pipe. For instance;
RAISE THE TAX ON HIDES
AND BEEF,
AND BRING THE FARMER
SWEET RELIEF.
But present-day advertisements
probably need the poets assistance
more than any other part of the pa
per. Instead of the old stereotyped
announcement a rhymful haberdasher
might proclaim;
BUY YOUR TIES OF CHAR
LEY BURR!
DOTS AND STRIPES, A DOL
LAR PER.
Another merchant might readily
win the ear and bank notes of women
buyer with such lyrical invitations
as this:
BAXTER'S B E ADS ARE
MIGHTY NIFTY,
HAVE A LOOK-A DOLLAR
FIFTY.
Once this idea begins to spread,
and every newspaper lad" climbs into
the musical rocking-chair all the wise
advertiser has to do is to engage the
services of some first-class poet. Eff
fusions on sunsets and signing zeph-
yrs seldom ring the cash register to-
day, but ripping rhymes eXtolling the
delicious flavor of Polly's Doughnuts,
all, that is poetry certain to pay large
dividends.
