one of the most dastardly and hypocritical
lies peddled about by the bosses press is
the belly-aching lie that the capitalists have
refrained from cutting wages following their
promise" to Hoover four months ago.
"When the President last fall called industry
into conference upon means of controlling de-
preston" yesterdays "Wall Street Journal"
informs us, she forcibly recommended mora
forum in wage adjustments either way. En-
ployers and labor leaders alike accepted the idea
with facility which suggested that a delicate
question had been tacitly ignored rather than
settled Yet this offhand agreement has so far
been observed on both sides. Whether this
fortunate condition will last out the depression
is, of course, beyond prediction
1t is true that "labor leaders" agreed to
Hoover's proposal not to ask for wage increases
during the economic crsis,-altho they knew
full we'll that the bosses had no intention of
keeping their sham promises. But it is lie
that wages have not been cut!
The wholesale cutting initiated by the bosses
all over the country Immediately after the con-
ference only shows up more sharply the throat
cutting and disastrous policy of collaborating
with the bosses and the treachery of the A
F. of l.. misleaders. 1t shows the workers
who are suffering from wage slashes, part
time work, unemployment and speed-up that
the bosses follow only their own class inter-
ests; that they haven't the slightest scruple in
shifting the burden of the economic crisis on
the shoulders of the working class, of forcing
millions to starve when their labor does not
bring profits to the bosses.
The "Wall Street Journal tells of an cleo
trical workers union in Cleveland that quick
ly assented to a request that they forego
ten per cent wage increase actually conceded"
"Already," the Journal continues, "their lead
has Quilted an incipient movement to force
wages upward throughout the building trades
of that city, the consequences of which must
have been more than usually disturbing"
This is the fortunate condition" (for the
capitalists) to which the "Wall Street Journal
refers 1t is very fortunate for the bosses that
there are labor 'leaders" ready to tie the
workers hand and foot in the interest of the
capitalists profits. 1t is fortunate that there
are bosses agents in the ranks of the workers
who undertake to hold them while the bosses
plumber them and cut wages left and right
Have the bosses cut wages? The Daily Work
err has already compiled hundreds of wage cuts
since last November. Thousands have not even
been reported. The bosses never tell such
facts. But it is the working class that is suf-

THE drive to establish Communist Weekly
Newspaper in the South is now open. The
Importance of such a newspaper cannot be
exaggerated The working class in the South.
one of the most brutally exploited sections OF
the American proetariat, is rapidly awaken
ing to revolutionary consciousness. The class
struggle is now raging in the South with ever
increasing intensity. The names of Gastonia
Marion New Orleans, Elizabethton and other
centers of the struggle in the South are hailed
not only throughout the American continent
but the whole world as the symbols of great
rising working class movement
But so far. our Communist Party work in
the South still left much to be desired. Among
the many important problems that we have
to tackle in regard to the South, one OF the
most important questions, is the establishment
of newspaper which VIII serve as a center
for agitation as well as organization among
the southern workers. Our first difficulty in
this work. of course, is the question of money.
The Organization Department of the Central
Committee of the Communist Party of the
u. S. A., therefore, decided to call upon %
of our larger language papers to conduct
drive for fund to establish a Weekly Com
rnunist Newspaper in the South. The Ian
guage papers, in carrying out this important
task must rally around them all fraternal or
CARNATIONS and the non-Party masses to the
support Of this drive The total amount that
we plan to secure is $3.50, with different
quotas allotted to the different papers This
sum will enable the Party to start weekly
in the South. Once started, the southern
workers will certainly be able to maintain it.
The results of the drive up to March Is are
listedsin the following table. The Lithuanian
paper, 'Laisve, stands on top of the list with
500 of the quota already in. The Finnish
Weekly Pennikki, follows up a good second,
with 1870 of its quota fulfilled. The Finnish
Daily, Eteenpain, stands third, with result
of 24fe The results so far not bad, but
there are still Is papers which have not yet

skI Many See Motion Picture and Hear Instructive Addresses

Large attendance and an inter- esting program marked the regu- lar monthly meeting-the second of the scholastic year-last night of the Juneau Parent Teacher As sociation, in the auditorium of the elementary school building. Health was the chief topic, and means for it's preservation were emphasized To avoid the danger of monotony instructive and entertaining diver sites were supplied by talk on parliamentary rules with exampli- fication and by group and duet singing.
 The feature of the health pro- gram was the presentation of a moving picture entitled Too Many Pounds produced by the Metro politan Life Insurance Company and lent to the Juneau Parent Teacher Association by the Public Health League of the State of Washington.
 Overweight Is Shown The film shows how overweight results from lack of exercise and from indulgence in fat-producine foods-two incidents of civilization and how normal weight can be re- tained or restored by sensible exer else and balanced diet. The picture is convincing, and without doubt those who saw it resolved to profit from it's lesson. The merits of the film are so highly regarded by officers of the Parent-Teacher association that they plan to have it exhibited in one of the theatres here.
 Care of the Teeth" was discussed in very interesting way by Dr George F. Freeburger. g0
 Common Defects of the Eyes was the subject of a paper writ ten by Dr. Robert Simpson. He had been called out of town, and his paper was read by M. s. Whittier, chairman of the program com mittee of the association. ]
 Nurse Gives Address
 Heath Observation in Our Schools" was discussed by Miss Mildred Keaton, Red Cross nurse who is conducting physical exami- nations of pupils. She explained their common ailments, and em- phasized the fact that the purpose of her work is to cooperate. with parents in promoting and maintain ing the physical welfare of their children.
 A Parliamentary Drill" was con- ducted by H. L. Faulkner, attorney. It was both interesting and in- structive.
 The meeting was opened with the group singing of America" led by Mrs. w. c. Ellis. A duet was

PAYING THE PENSIONS

Plans for paying the disability
pensions for World War veterans
voted by the last Congress were an
nounced by the Veterans Bureau.
Blank applications for the pensions
were prepared, "as simple as possi-
ble," and sent to the Sd regional Of
fees and AZ hospitals maintained by
the bureau. On one of these the ap-
plicant must give his war service,
and the extent of his disability
which must be rs per cent or more
will be determined by a medical eX-
animation. The payments will range
from $12 to $40 a month, in addition
to the relief the veterans are now re-
ceiving. Those who paid income taxes
last year will not receive this aid.
The bureau will first consider the
cases of veterans now in hospitals
some 3,000-because these can be
disposed of more quickly. 1t esti-
mated that the pension system will
affect 10000 veterans the first year
and will cost about $25, 100000. In
the following years the number and
expenses are expected to increase

FELLOWSHIP CLASS NOTES

Beginning of the fall activities.
The Fellowship Glass met at the
home of Mrs. Sara Draper. Reports
were read by Mrs. Buthud Mills,
Mrs. Earl Hudson, Miss Lydia Abb
bott and Mrs. Harvey Davidson. Mrs.
Chas. N. Reid and Mrs. A. E. Mum

sell at $1.l5 in western New York
and Mcintosh at $1.50. Total apple
shipments are heavy, approaching
LOCO cars daily, but much of the ac-
tVlty is in stock for cold storage.
Market supplies are liberal in most
consuming centers and demand
rather slow. Prices have not changed
much for several weeks.
Prices of grapes have been a little
disappointing to growers in view of
general light production of other
fruits. Concords and Niagaras have
been selling at $35 to $40 per ton in
western New York, which is about
the range of the best California fruit
in producing sections. Demand has
meen slaw and markets rather
weak but better conditions are look
ed for with the cooler weather. Mod
crate supplies of eastern grapes are
the rule in most markets. New
York, Ohio and Pennsylvania Con-
cords bring 10 to 13 cents pert two
quart basket in the large cities, Del
awares and Niagaras 12 to Is cents.
The peach season is about over and
most shipments now arriving are
from storage. New York Elbertas
bring $1.50 to $175 per bushel in
producing sections. Cooler weather
slows down the demand. The pear
market has shown no great change
so far this month. Bartletts sell at
S1.25 to S1.40 per bushel, at western
New York country shipping points.
These are from cold storage.

AUTOMOBIL1STS CAN'T BURN
UP MODERN HIGHWAYS
(BY E. e. Dnfvl

Burning up the roads," is &
phrase that was coined back in the
days when horse hairs rather thar
gasoline fumes were in the air. The
modern traveller, equipped with a
powerful motor, would of course
make the gallant of other days ap-
pear as though he were standing
still.
The phrase, burning up the
roads" was concocted as a flippancy,
which it still is. Strangely, however,
a continuous flow of rapidly moving
vehicles over a stretch of pavement
I creates considerable heat, which is
noticeable after a rainfall when
whirring. tires soon dry out the
] pavement surface.
AS for concrete, the accepted nav
ing material, heat created by NOV
ing tires or by the sun has no eff
feet on it's surface Recently in
Chicago a special fire test of con-
crete masonry walls, made of much
the same material as concrete roads,
was held to show city building Of
ficials and builders the fire resist
.ance of concrete. A flame of 1000
degrees Fahrenheit was placed di-
rectly against the concrete wall for
three hours with very little struc-
tural damage to the wall. Nineteen
hundred degrees Fahrenheit is al
most the temperature of a volcano;
what likelihood, then, of motorists or
the sun softening the surface of a
concrete pavement?
1t has been pointed out that "a
bad road has three dimensions,
length and breadth" With 28,OOO,-
900 automobiles soon to be on the
highways it is more impor-
tant than ever that the matter of
depth be eliminated. Depth in this
instance, of course, refers to a hard
smooth surface only obtainable
through the application of concrete.
The matter of length is of such !
that comment is not ne
But in the factor of breadth |
there is much to consider. In and |
near thicllly populated areas it ap-
pears that pavements cannot be usp- |
)lied in too great quantities in widths |
up to 80 feet. Progressive states
nave determined that yesteryear's
'ural road width of 16 and Is feet is
lot as desirable as the 20-foot width
And now we have another width
the picture. This is the
narrow concrete highway of nine
md ten-foot widths which very we'll
erves the rural community where
here widths which very we'll serves
hauling to be done, but
title through traffic.
But throughout the road story,
uns the thread of economy and
mooth riding which is only obtain
d in the pavement surface which
resents a smooth surface despite
reat volumes Of traffic and per-
istent attacks from weather.

FIRST CEREMONIAL OF
SEASON WEDNESDAY

Evergreen Forest No. 40, T. C. L.,
held the first ceremonial of the sea-
son Wednesday evening in the Com
munlty Building. The affair started
with a fine band concert by Ever
green's excellent band, under the
baton of c. Russell Snyder, which
was loudly applauded.
New Saplings were introduced and
inducted into the histories of the
Forest, much to the enjoyment of
the members, who looked on with
great pleasure. A committee from
Brandywine Forest of Wilmington
was present and presented an invi-
tation to the members of Evergreen
Forest to visit them in Wilmington
on October "a, when they would have
a big ceremonial in which the Balti-
more Forest would take part.
This invitation was accepted and
the band, Rangers and members of
Evergreen Forest will take part in
the parade as we'll as attend the
ceremonial in Wilmington. At the
CLOSE of the business meeting re-
were served, followed by
two acts of vaudeville in which Miss
Eveline Humphries, of Dagsboro, in
her songs and dances was the star
Of the evening. The members re-
called her back with their
loud applause. Moore and Collins,
with the original Hill Billie, came in
for their share of applause. 1t was
conseded by those present to be one
of the best opening nights that Ever
green Forest has had in years.
