Workers of New York!
The soscialist party Ipretends to
be a party working in the interests
of the working class. Let them ex-
plain the following:
Norman Thomas proposed $25,oo0,-
900 relief for the 100000 unem-
ployed in New York or $25 per per-
son for the entire winter. The Com
mupists demand $2oO,Ooo,0o0.
Norman Thomas demanded more
efficient" police in New York.
Norman Thomas smiled when the
police dubbed the unemployed in
CityHall.
The socialists administrations OF
Reading, Pa, Racine and Milwau-
kee, Wise, use socialist police to club
theh workers demanding unemploy-
ment relief This is the socialist
party in action, not in words.
Morris Hillquit, rich lawyer, uses
the capitalist courts to get injunc-
tons against the workers. William
Karlin does the saIne-Charles Solo
mon got the injunction against the
food workers at Miller's market in
the Bronx. The pholice enforced the
injunction and murdered Steve Ka-
tovis-th result of socialist injunc-
ton.
Sidney Hillman and Benjamin
Schlossberg, socialist leaders of hte
Amalgamated Clothing Workers, use
thhe police and thugs to break
strikes. kaufman and Schlesinger
socialists, in the other A. F. of l.
needle unions, break strikes withthe
aid Of the police and gangsters.
The socialists talk about graft
Hillman, the socialist. is accused Of
mistlsing $1,00O,O0o of the workers
money in speculation, in paying
gangsters and the underworld. Or
lofsky and Becker1nan, socialists
also of the Amalgamated, robbed the
workers of $4,000. This is theh So
cialist party in action. 49,.
The socialists support the British
labor party. When it was the gov
eminent, it cut wages, cut off the
unemployment dole, shot down the
workers and peasants of India. Hen
derson and the labor party went in
to the opposition-but before they
retired, they made provision for re-
ducing wages further, cutting the
dole, cutting the wages of teachers
the sailors, etc. Norman Thoma.
calls this program of the labor party
a radical program" This is thu
socialist party in action.

BY HARRY CANNES

cAMUEL SEABURY, whose family
" for generations have been suck
ing the blood of the American work
ers, now appears as the st. George
killing the dragon of graft in New
York City.
Seabury is rich lawyer who in
herited millions from his exploiting
father. He classes himslf as an "in-
dependent" democrat, thus trying to
make the workers think that this
capitalist party is not as bad as the
open graft Of Tammany Hall makes
so clear.
In the present crisis Seabury is per-
forming necessary job for capital
ism. To do it he must dig up some
of the graft, though he is partic-
Clarly careful to place individual"
responsibility. He scraps few lice
off the Tammany tiger. He does not
want to blame the capitalist parties
or the system for it. He knows the
workers are losing faith in capitalism
especially at this time with mass
unemployment and hunger. Hence
Seabury Is chosen-even with the
approval of the Socialists-to purge
capitalism city government-not OF
grafters or graft, but of the bad
name it has with the workers. Be-
cause of his boosted honesty" that
is, his source of graft is through the
usual channels of exploitation and
grinding down the workers, instead
of open robbery, seabury is played ur
to the skies by the capitalist press
The New York capitalist press re-
veals in the Seabury disclosures,

Brownsville has q wonderful

only logical that a person does not
fully trust that which he does not
understand, and many persons now
living do not understand the first
principles Of an airplane. That Is
why we r starting this movement.
We are getting the boys themselves
70 build airplanes, letting them
learn In this manner exactly what
makes them fly. Later they will be
as much at home in an airpiane

Build Your Wardrobe
Around Your Coat

The coat is the sun Of the
costume universe, round it
the lesser lights of garments
and accessories revolve. So
in getting a new coat, much
thought should be given the
lines, the color and the mate
rial and the occasions for
which one wants this coat.
Perhaps you want a dress
coat, or a sports coat, or
both; perhaps a coat for
double duty. The general
rule Of coats still holds true,
they fall into definite CLASH
fications, each suitable to the
occasion. Such as sports
coats for sports, and formal
types for formal affairs.
There is, nevertheless, the
much needed utility coat, but

Coats, Like Dresses,
Are Ladylike

Along with the general
trend Of fashions, coats have
gone lady-like. There's a
softness about them, a
finesse. There's a dramatic
feeling about them, too, such
as the new scarfs, the op-
tional belts, or belts built
into the side, or tying sash
like; and great sleeve in
terest.
Coats are soft and cling
ing, like the proverbial
vine. Just glance over the
various silhouettes. There
are three Of first Importance,
first, the wrap around model
of Vionnet fame. This coat
closes way over to the side
and is so kind to most fig
ures. Nine. Vionnet seems
to know that merican
women are responsible for
her success, and caters to
their style consciousness.
Edward Molyneaux men
tions the American woman s
keenness for detail and work
manship. Nine. Vionnet clev-
erly defies geometry with
her diagonal lines and in
seams, proving that they
lengthen the distance be-
tween two points, thus slen-
derizing and flattering &
curves. Many Of this sea-
son s coats are variations OF
this silhouette.
Next in Importance is
the uniform or mill
tary coat, inspired by
the coats worn by army Of
ficers Of many periods.
Under this heading come
several general types. Then,
the Directoire REFER coat
(smart with the familiar
tricorne of the same period)
which is reminiscent Of
Napoleon's old campaign
coat, and the coachman's

coat which carries one back
to merrie England. These
types feature wide revers
and are usually double
breasted. Bruyere's but
toned rever coat comes
under this head and is an
excellent illustration Of the
general utility coat men,
toned above. With the
revers snugly buttoned under
the military collar, it looks
ready for business and
street; but open the revers
they fall into flattering
jabots, the collar rolls back,
and behold a coat perfect

Spring that begins with the
