the U. s. government sent Disque, an
army colonel and former penitentiary
warden, to start a company union,
the Loyal Legion of Loggers and
Lumbermen, and Gompers ordered
the A. F. of L. organization there to
give Colonel Disque full cooperation!
Todes's book gives the history of
this struggle of the various organiza-
tons, and analyses their tactics, good
and bad. She ends with a descrip-
ton of what lumber union must be
like to win against trustif1ed en-
ployers and the government. There
must be industrial organization, like
the I.W.W., but it must be central
lied, and based on the camp and mill
committees. There must be militant
strikes, but the easy surrender of
taking the strike to the job is no
good except in isolated cases. There
must be organization Of the gypo
Contract worker and home guards
(men with families) and Of the mill
workers-and this has never been
done yet.
Also, the book answers a question
that must arise in the minds Of any
one: How did the companies get such
power, such monopoly as swings
government and press to their aid,
power to starve and murder workers,
power to collect far above the aver
age rat Of profit? How did private
companies get four-fifths of the pub
lie timber lands of the U. s.? The
answer, given in the first 10 pages
of the book is very simple: They
stole 1t. They stole the lands even
according to capitalist law. And this
charge is backed up by unanswerable
statistics. and description Of dozen
different ingenious m ethods Of
larceny.

Jeweled Crowns and
Jeweled Shoes

our rainy season, and millionaires'
wives and Hollywood stars are buy
ing them.
Before my half-closed eyes pass
as in procession the jeweled crowns
of Marie Antoinette, and the jeweled
crowns of other monarchS, Of the
more recent Czarina-croWns proudly
worn on heads unthinking Of the
destinies of their wearers. Jeweled
crowns that cost labor unreckoned
from the hands of the many un-
known-hands that reached out for
food and other simple elemental
needs-often receiving less. That was
before.
Now, long after, yet not so long,
jeweled shoes for the feet of the
favored few. These tread lightly.
unthinking of labor unreckoned from
hands unknown, hands that reach
out for food and other elemental
needs, content with little and often
getting less. Thoughtless the whim-
steal wearers of jeweled shoes tread
toward their destinies.
