THE BOY SCOUTS CALI

The drive for the Boy Scouts opens in
this city on next Tuesday.
It seems almost as superfluous to write
about the desirability of supporting this
drive as it would be to urge folks to OBJ
serve Fourth of July or Christmas.
The worth of the Boy Scout movement
is so we'll known that Il is difficult to
realize that anyone would be opposed to
it.
However, being ir favor Of it is not
enough just now. The Boy Scout organ
ization cannot exist on we'll wishes and
the friendly feeling of those who recog-
nize its worth. 1t needs financial sup
port as we'll.
Recently we heard man nationally
known for his good work in helping 9TH
ers, make the statement that no move
ment in America tpday is doing greater
good than the Boy Scouts.
Often membership in the Boy Scout
spells the difference a few years later,
between good, outstanding citizens and
responsible member Of his community, or
a gangster before the bar of justice, or
perhaps occupying slab in the under
takers morgue
Boys will be boys. They are the same
today as they were so, 100 or 500 wears
ago. At a certain age they must run
with the gang. If the gang they run
with is good gang, they will come to
little harm. But if it is not the right
kind of a gang, the results are likely to
be found in the police court records.
The Boy Scouts provide youngsters
with the right sort of gang. The organi-
zation has showed the youth Of the coun-
try the middle path between the despic-
able sissy and the undesirable hood
lum- The Scouts are taught to be manly
and self confident, yet always to be mind
fui OF the rights of others and the respect
that should be accorded their elders and
those in authority.
A Boy Scout can have more finn and
learn more that will be of use to him. in
one weekly meeting with his gang. than
ne could with any gang in the country
that is not supervised as is the Boy Scout
troop.
One has only to talk with Judge Fin
ney, or any other Judge in the country. to
find out what the Boy Scout movement
is doing toward keeping boys out of the
mischief that has made the formation of
juvenile courts necessary. In seven years,
in the city of st. Louis, seven Boy Scouts
were before the juvenile court out of sew
eral thousand youngsters who were sum-
moned before that body
Here in Imperial county, the appear
ance of a Boy Scout in court is unknown.
A record like that deserves the con-
tinued support of every citizen. When
the solicitors come around next week Just
think back few years Mr.. Man, and de-
eide honestly what an organization such
as the Boy Scouts could have done for
you when you were a youngster. If you
give yourself an honest answer, you will
double the amount you intended to give
to the Scout movement
'Tis like old times so it's, the Irish are

SHANGHAI.-The textile workers
of the Hunfeng spinning mills in
Shanghai are on strike agains
wage cuts. The local Kuomingtang
organization refuses to recognise the
strike because it is being led by
strike committee elected by the
workers and not by the lDcal Kuo-
mingtang mandarins. An arrest
warrant has been issued against the
strike committee.
The workers of the food and drink
trades in Shanghai are also out de-
spite the refusal of the Kouming-
tang to recognise their action.
The newspapers report that the
police have discovered plans for
general strike of the rickshaw cool
les in the foreign concessions. Three
of the leaders have been arrested and
further arrests are expected.

State Political Administration 20.
G.. P. u became known factory
meetings were held in numerous fac
tories in the big Industrial towns in
the Soviet Union. The resolutions
adopted at these meetings condemn
the treacherous activities of certain
small groups Of specialists who wish
for a restoration of capitalism and
do their best to hinder the building
up of the new world of socialism.
The right-wing opportunist deviation
created good ground for their activi-
ties as a result of the throttling of
bolshevist self-criticism, the ignoring
Of the proposals of the workers and
the reposing of blind trust in the
specialists. The resolutions demand
stern punishment for the guilty
sbotagers, and promise that the
workers will redouble their efforts in
order to make good the damage
done by the counter revolutfonaries.

ALL FAKER ASKS COP TO
CLUB AT JOBLESS MEET

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 13.-The

had to recognize the unemployment
situation to the extent of permitting
public debates on jobless insurance.
They announce that open discussion

Council secretary, Doyle, conferred
with policeman as to how to clear
out the Communists who were not
only flocking into the hall to take
part in the discussion, but were
standing at the entrance and distrib-
uting leaflets calling for organiza-
ton and struggle to force the ma
tional government to grant real in
surance and the city to give immed-
late relief.
Doyle said to the cop: I'm going
to call the wagon and have the Com
munistS dubbed"
The cop said: "No, that would be
great shame for you, to have work.
ers dubbed, and it will advertise the
Communists. I had better ask then
to go, myself" -.. -...
But when the police found they
would not leave the entrance, he be-
gan to make threats too. The de.
bate will continue.
