Il 1877 did she find human being
whose destiny she could control.
It happened thus: The stables OF her grand
father. cid Jolyon Forsyte's house IN Stahnope
Gate. where June and incidentally her mother
resided with her grandparents, were round the
corner.
They consisted OF two stalls and loose ooX
occupied by the carriage horses, Browne aho
Betty. and by Jurcs p-ny, Bruce ABOVE were
the three rooms CT the coachman, betterS'
his wife and little daughter, the groom living
heaven knew more precisely where.
One october noon, in her long blue habit,
With her spirit and her eyes looking up out
of her flaming hair June was lifted from her
pony at the stable door.
"That pony's artful, Miss June. Don't you
give him more than two carrots or ell think
he can do what e likes with you."
"Darlingi" said June in voice strangely
deep for a small child. Having given the pony
four carrots, she remained standing beside IL
in the stall, fervently stroking its nose.
In the next stall the groom was kissing while
he wisped down Betty, preferred by Betters as
a mount to Brown;c-"an 'oss that did that
throw you up"
George. which do you think is the most
beautiful Brownie or Betty?"
The groom ierked his head at the loose box.
s~That 'oss is the best lookin', Miss June"
Then I shall give Brownie one carrot ana
Betty two-it isn't her fault, is it, poor dar-
lingo"
Having given the carrots and had her capped
head nuzzed, she went out and stood IN the
yard Betters had disappeared up the stair
way to his rooms. whence a smell Of onions
indicated that Mrs Betters, small, pale, puck
cred woman, was cooking steak.
THE yard was deserted but for pigeon. To-
ward which June ran, so that the pigeon
at once left for the roof. Hurt in her feelings,
June had hastily gathered up her tail and was
moving toward the house when round the
corner came a little girl blubbering into her
sleeve.
Susie Bettars, what are YOU crying fOr?"
The little girl, who was plain and thin, blub-
bered the louder.

The two children went out In the hall June
said

"Veree well, Mees June"
During lunch June fidgeted with difficulty
prevented by old Jolyon's eyes from telling her
story.
When her mother and grandmother and gov

grandfather, who had lighted his after-lunch
cigar and stood between his knees.
I'm going to be Susie Betters' friend. Gran"

Old Joyon nodded. Shouldn't be surprised

In these factory towns where the

This is not true. The Oppositionists

"blind," that we. don't know what
Trotsky stands for. Well, we know

that Trotsky is no good, and when

district, more than any other, should
be used as training ground and
as a reservoir of forces, upon which
we can draw for use in industrial
centers.
To bring out clearly the results
of this present disproportion in Par
ty forces, l will begin by quoting
from Gertrude Haessler's article on
"Shop Paper Problems" appearing
in the Party Organizer of March
April 1928, where she deals with
printing or mimeographing shop
papers as follows:
Printing is by far the most
desirable, but when one con-
siders that most of the shops
in the New York District, where
! present possibilities of issuing
a paper exist, are shops like
the Wright Shop, with about 500
workers, printing bill of 25 or
80 dollars per month seems out
of proportion"
But the real point is that in the
N. Y. District with its $4,000 mem
bers, with the largest and best
workers school in America, and
wherein is conferred the leaders OF
our Party, that in this fortunate dis
trict there are only two shop papers,
one in the aforementioned Wright
Shop and the other in the Brewster
Rolls-Royce Shop in Long Island
