Yesterday in the vicinity of Pub
lie School SO, the Bronx, an open air
meeting was held by the Young
Pioneers, in protest against another
vicious display Of hatred and tyrau-
ny against militant workers child
rem by the teachers and principal,
NJ. Kauo, and other iackeys OF this
bosses system.
A number of Pioneers were trap
ped into empty classrooms by sew
eral stocky monitors acting upon
the orders of their most respected
pedagogues, and soundly thrashed.
These same monitor" children
whose minds have been so poisoned
by their teachers attempted to at
tack and beat the speakers. This
was wisely counteracted by de-
tense corpse of Pioneers who were
prepared for this situation.

the exterritoriality of the Soviet

the maintenance of this normal
diplomatic usage as ridiculous and
impossible. "Where is the man

BOSS PAPERS SEE
no RECOVERY YET

The poor capitalists who have the
same right as an unemployed work
er to walk the streets in search OF
a job, are terribly depressed and
disappointed by the status of trade
You see, the poor devils looked for
"a more rapid recovery" But in
stead of rapid recovery" which
was really a pious hope rather than
an actual reality, the crisis did
everything but what the capitalists
wanted it to do. It is continuing to
deepen. Such is the dismal admis-
sion of the weekly review of r. G.
Dun and Co.
even many months after the be-
ginning Of the commodity price de-
cline" this review says, "the move
ment gives no definite signs Of end
ing" Where will the bosses next
meal come from now?

ton that "The Labor Party gov

as any government can that the
vital interests of the British En-
pire are at stake in India" and
praised Viceroy Irwin, and the
British Indian army. He boasted
that the Mohammedans would not
unite with the anti-imperialist
movement and stated that the sex
tTaordinary measures" shooting
down of Indian workers by British
troops, were Completely justified,
and would continue until the coun-
try was pacified."
Sir Samuel Hoare, speaking for
the Tories, praised the shooting
done already in India by Mac
Donald's orders, and warned the
government to watch out or the

Parliamentary trickery evaded a

30 YEARS OF 1NJU SPICE

Somebody once sad the law IS an ass. That may be somewhat exagger- ated but sometimes 1t goes far to prove itself donkey.

 Such miscarriages of justice come hecause the lan is administered by human hands and like people. IS likely 10 err. But ohat amends does It make after discovering a mistake?
 Philips IS merely set free, Thirty years Of ms ufc have been spent in such mental anguish that he was in an insane asylum during most Of that time. So far as we are aware the sovereign state Of Virginia IS making no effort 10 reimburse It's unfortunlte victim for the wrong done
 Significant, too is the fact that Phillips freedom IS due to the wholeheartcd efforts of woman Ia -ver the wife of q former Ne" Britain man.

Republicans 'TwiAt Fires a. They Look Toward 1892


 Republican state leaders are re- ported in a quandary over the atti- tude to be adopted toward changes ir commissions which the newly elected democratic governor might wish to make after the general as st mbly convenes.
 Several commissionerships expire and Governor Cross will no doubt desire to name men Of his own political faith, following out the procedure usually followed when a political eruption occurs. Repub- hcans will be reluctant to approve his selections and, in the case of I few jobs. the incumbent will hold over if the executive and the leEis- lature reach stalemate. But the danger lies in the possibility of fur nlshing the democrats with ammu- milton to be used in the presidential election in 1882 and this. above eve rythlng else. Is what the G. O. r. wishes 10 avoid. Republicans realize that the reperCussion from the eleC- ton early this month will be heard reverpcra ting 10 some extent two years hence and they do not want to add fuel 10 the flames which roared about their heads. Any organized opposition 10 guberndtorial appoint ments would be gravy for the demo- the voters about 10 assist in choos- ing the next president. The repub- licans think their opponents have enough gravy for one serving.
 But the republicans do not want to lose any plums. Several high of fees are occupied by their appoint ees and. if political precedence is to be observed. they will want to stand by their own men. Under such cir. cumstances, Governor Cross could wage campaign through the press which might expose conditions at Hartford which the G. 0. P. would prefer to remain hidden from public gaze. If he continued his campaign for two years-and there is no evi. dence at hand that he is lacking in NCtdi SUI lli VI tSH6C4lA oL puI- pose would threaten the repub- lican presidential prestige in Con- nccticlt.
 Several state issioners have attended 10 their knitting and have given a good account of their stew ardship. They deserve to be retain cd. Others have been ornamental seat warmers. so hamstrung by their political masters that they have been incapable of functionins for the benefit of the public even f their philosophy of office holding lea them to believe that pro bono publico should be the inpelling mo- tive of all governmental servants.

Taxation Problems
Editor. Herald:

A glimpse into New Britains tax problem is likely to cause this pro- posed tax bill for New Britain, recognizing the fact that diferen- sources Of income are being very differently burdened with taxes 1t the present time. Thus while the real estate owners at the present time pay from 25 to 50 ner cent Of their income in taxes. professional people. salaried individuals and bondholders pay on the average from 1 to per cent Of their income il taxes.
