Demonstration and Parade in ST. Louis

(By q Worker
ST. LOUIS, Mo.-Today, May list,
for the first time in the history of
the Labor Movement in this city,
500 workers participated in the May
Day parade and demonstration. The
workers gathered at the Mullam-
ply Playground, and after a short
speech, the delegation from the I'm
employed Council was sent to the
Mayor.
The parade started at II A. M.
and passed through a factory dis
trict and working class neighbor-
hood. The workers lined up the
windows of the shops and factories
and cheered the slogans carried by
the demonstrators.
The most important feature of the
demonstration was that white and
Negro workers marched together
and that the workers are beginning
to understand the necessity of united
struggle against capitalism.
The demonstration wound up at
Columbus Square, where the Sacco
and Vanzetti demonstration was
held. There report was made by
the delegation to the Mayor. "His

Their evidence of the quite obvious
fact that the fate of the present
regime in Spain is certainly hang

The statement says in part:
POLITICALLY, economically and So
cially, Spain asks for a new order.
Such parliamentarism as it is try
ing to restore would be ruinous for
Spain. 1t is impossible, for the
Cortes would not work, but would

This is another expression of the
ruling class efforts to replace the

The Mayor could not do anything
for them. And why should he?

The charges against six of the

degree murder charge against the
seven others. This was done for
two reasons: First, if they did not
ask for the electric chair and de-

seven workers, they could, due to
technical arrangements, secure a
jury that could be depended upon
to bring in the kind of a verdict

WOMEN MORE THRIFTY
The American housewife has

The American housewife has always
been shrewd buyer, but during the nation
wide slump in business and employment her
natural thrift has been practiced to an even
greater extent than usual. Inasmuch as
about ninety per cent of all purchases for
the home are made by women, manufacture
to the housewives of the country through ad-
vertising and otherwise.
Buying habits of women have been given
intensive study by home economists during
the present depression, and the report of a
recent survey among 5000 homemakers show
ed some interesting trends. 1t says in part:
There is an increasing tendency to
economic through personally doing a num-
Der of tasks in the home which were former
ly done by outside agencies or by servants.
This has been made possible by the employ
ment of labor-saving devices and products,
which enable a woman to do most of her
housework without assistance. It is also OBJ
served that wives are displaying better man.
agement in the purchase and preparation of
food. 1t was found, for example, that ma
jority of the women included in the survey
buy special cake fours and bake their own
cakes at home, while many other economics
are effected through the more careful plan
ming of meals so as to eliminate waste"
There is little doubt that the average
houswife is more thrifty than her husband,
setting an example in this respect which he
might well follow more closely Through in
telligent teamwork in the home much can be
done to lessen the perplexities of the present
economic situation and hasten it's improve
ment.
