ers to take part in the Proletarian
banquet arranged for January 18th
at the New Workers Center, 35 Eas

peal.
It is a prime necessity of the revo-
lutionary workers movement to have
its own home. We were unable to
hold on to our former home on Union
Square on account of mounting costs
and crisis conditions. We now have
a cheaper house, with more accom-
modations which gives us a splendid

I.S.N.R, Exposes Lies
of Boss Press

KENILWORTH, N. j., Dec. 3i.-A
.vnching mob of rs "enraged citizens"
headed by the entire police force
here, is continuing its search for an
unidentified Negro accused by the
capitalist press of "robbing" and "at-
tempting to rape" white girl. The
girl in the hospital denied that her
attacker was Negro and thus dis
credited the lies spread in the boss
press.
These facts were revealed by the
Liberator Investigating staff ap-
pointed by the executive board of
the League of Struggle for Negro
Rights.
All day long the L. S. N. r. head
quarters in Elizabeth, a few miles
away, were surrounded by police and
plain clothes men. Herbert Newton.

comrades were later arrested but re-
leased at the station house.
The mass protest meeting called in
Elizabeth did not materialize as a
result of fire which strangely COIN
cided with the place and time of the
scheduled meeting, In spite of the
terror, however, the workers are pre-
pared to meet the attacks of the po-
lice and the iynching mob.
On Sunday the City Committee ef
the L. S. N. r. will meet in Elizabeth,
at LOG jersey ST., to coordinate the
work Of the groups already formed
in Rosselle, Linden and Elizabeth. A
group of rs workers here in Kenii-

sentiment at being denied d cash
bonus that would aid the unemployed
veterans and all who really need
money to assist them while they are
still alive.
Since the acute crisis has ex-
hausted any possible savings OF the
veterans, the worker veterans, the
rank and file for which the Work
ers' Ez-Servicemep's League speaks,
are raising the demand for payment
to worker veterans only, at once and
in full of the whole face value Of
the policies, SO that the workers who
are veterans may keep themselves
and their families alive while
longer.
Again, of course, the traitorous
Legion and other capitalist spokes-
men, are objecting to this. The
Legion did not dare to say No"
frankly but left the whole question
to a committee to Investigate" and,
of course, kill Hoover objects to it,
say that the money would do the
and the American Legion leaders
workers no good, that their depen-
dents would be left without insurance
or that the workers would only buy
booze" The booze-swilling Legion
can get very moral when need arises
to defend capitalist interests.
Mellon, of course, opposes the pay
ment Immediately of the full face
pvalue of the Tombstone Bonus
he wants it to remain a tombstone
bonus. While the fascist Congress
man Fish has hit on the idea of
giving 25 percent" an idea which is
supported by the fascist leaders OF
the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
The Legion opposes even this, and
the hypocrisy of this sham battle
can be seen by the fact that IS per
cent is only two per cent more than
what the policy-holders can get right
now as loans, without Fish and the
Veterans of Foreign Wars Fish and
the leaders of the V. F. w, of course,
think this is a great trick to keep
the worker veterans from going Boil
SheYik."
The Workers Ex-Servieemen's Lea
que is the only organization de-
manding payment to worker veterans
at once and in cash of the full face
value of the insurance bonus po-
licies. They warn worker veterans
to not be fooled by the smoke screen
put out by reaetionary politicians.
They do not delude the veterans
with the bank being peddled by some
politicians that this will bring back
prosperity" but it will, certainly,
help millions of starving worker ex-
servicemen and their families. The

Instalment Buying

Is the purchase of articles on the install mnt plan beneficial to business, or docs it lead to extravaganza and industrial depres- sion? Some people think that excessive purchases of this kind constituted one m- portant cause of the lo30 deperssion. Others hold that such buying encourages people for substantial articles, instead of frittering it away in trifling expenses.
 There has been a great deal of install ment buying for many years and there always will be much of it. It is natural that people who have regular incomes should wish to enjoy some things while they are paying for them. But if great wave Of instalment buying sweeps over the country in some boom year, it is apt to be followed by period of depression while these buy CTS are working off their old debts.
 If they anticipate their wants in one year. they will probably go slow in buying while they are paying for these things So while a certain amount of instalment buying IS normal and helpful, yet the business leaders should show some caution in the way they stimulate such buying on great scale. he machine of modern industry should run along steadily and evenly. Big booms and rushes at one time create over production, followed by periods of slow operation when people are thrown out of work
 If instalment buying reaches the point where it is leading to a greater production than the people can find money to pay for it is time to display the danger signals. Just at present. while the country IS recovering from bad depression, an increased amount of instalment buying would probably be a good thing. But when the country has fully recovered prosperity. it might lead to a dangerous state of rAaton.

Drugless Drug Stores

There has been much good natured crltl- csm of drug stores for turning themselves into emporiums for miscellaneous merchan- disc, including food and drink. At last someone arises to say good word for thls tendency Dr Walter Gray Crump of New York city tells convention of homeopaths that drugess drug store will be all right with him. He likes to see pharmacy meta morphosed into a combination of beauty shop, restaurant, toy shop, candy and eIgar shop and general store.
 This change in the drug store of today, he explains. is resulting in erowdlng into one corner all the noxious poisons and med ieines which once were the drug stores meal ticket Emphasizing the sale of beauty lotions, sandwiches etc, is service 10 man. kind" He may be right, but he wouldn dare say that at wholesale druggists con- vention.

Negro Census Returns

It used 10 be said that the Negro prob lem would solve itself because of the high death rate of that race, but report of the Census Bureau made public, shows marked gain in the rate of growth of the colored population and slight loss in the white during the last decade From 1910 to 1920 the Negroes increased 6.S; from 1920 to l930 the Negroes increase was white race increased by l48 as compared 13.6. while during the last decade the with Is the decade before.
 Though the great gain of the eolored race took place in the North. causing the Bureau to assume that large numbers had migrated northward the Negroes increased by five per cent in the southern states. Mis- sissppi gained by 8 per cent. Georgia, which showed the greatest number of col pred in 1920. decreased by 11.2. Miehi- aan with l82 per cent showed the highest increase.

interested in the science of the stars as in the signs of the Zodiac. They wished to be told whether 1t would be safe for them to call upon a certain lady week from next Tuesday or whether to-day was a good one for business af- fairs.
 The people of to-day are not much different. They pay huge sums to the astrologers for informa- ton which is only nonsense. Prior to the crash in Wall street, cer- tain fashionable astrologers in New York commanded fabulous fees. Their victims consulted them to ascertain whether chosen stocks were going up or down. They lacked the common sense to reason that if the astrologers could really predict this they could make more money by using the information themselves than by peddling itsfor a fee.
 Since most of the tables of star positions used by astrolOgers are inaccurate to begin with, their de- auctions must be correspondingly off. The cult of astrol0gy probably has some basis in human vanity; 1t is fiattering to feel that stars and planets millions of miles away had some influence upon the individual whose horoscope Is being cast. Reading ones fortune in tea leaves is just as scientific and has the advantage of being much nearer home and costing nothing.

It is announced that the world silver problem is to be studied by d committee of experts appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce These experts. representing the United States, Great Brl- tain, China and perhaps other countries will be selected on the basis of their knowledge both of silver and economics.
 Whatever recommendations the commit tee makes will be received with interest throughout the world Low silver prices largely brought on by the fact that most nations have gone to the gold standard Of coinage play an important part in the business depression. The various govern nfents interested in silver must agree on policy for its stabilization, and such lnvesti- gations as the one now projected should produce invaluable information with which to work.

Why Reply At All, Mayor?

Mayor Frank Hayes announcement last evening to the effect that he would reply at the proper time to the accusations and in- situations made about him and his admlnls- tration by several speakers at Monday eve- ning's rally in the North End for William E. Kennedy. we think. is giving as much Of that clap-trap as has been brought to our attention far too much serious concern. So far as the Waterbury Democrat is yet able to discover. there has been nothing said that in any way need be answered by Mayor Hayes in defense of bis present admlnistra- ton. And until there is if there can be, we think Mayor Hayes need have no con- cern as to public confidence in the way things are being conducted on upper Grand street.
 True Mayor Hayes, nor anyone else, for that matter in ruling the destiny of such an area as the city of Waterbury now com- prses, could be able to satisfy everyone. The man indeed would have to be Solo, mon that would do it. Yet the Waterbury Democrat feels that Mayor Hayes has gone more than half way in trying to make good his prediction pledges in behalf of Water bury And that we think IS asking about as much as could be expected from anyone. Furthermore, we think that Mayor Hayes is fair-minded enough. if he has made any mistakes to admit them, if properly called to his attention.
 But as yet the Waterbury Democrat has read or heard of nothing offered in the way of criticism of the present administration to hon Kennedy mayoralty boom was launched, the Waterbury Democrat welcomed MT Ken nedy into the lists as IS any citizen perfect right. No doubt Mayor Hayes did like wise, for if we know Frank Hayes arght he delights in nothing better than ialr fight and can always be relied upon to take defeat or victory gracefully. But as yet there has been nothing constructive in the way of criticism offered by MT Kennedy supporters - by that we mean issues.
 The rank and file of Waterbury voters we feel. are vitaly interested in the matter of issues that personally pertain to them selves. If there are any that have been overlooked or abused by the present admin istration, now is the time for the Kennedy supporters to bring them before the pubic attention in an intelligent and dspasslonate way. Mud -slinging or personal abuse ap- peals little to the rank and file of people Tn getting the best it can in the way of city government. And as we said before, we think Mayor Hayes as yet has nothing to answer for and. until something in the way of more substantial criticism IS preferred, should refrain from any explanation for his conduct in office thus far as mayor. If the opposition forces have anything better to offer, now IS the time to do 1t.

COSTLY IN RELATION TO
 WHAT?
New York Herald d-Tribune)

(New York Herald-Tribune)
 In a recent Washington dispatch to the Herald Tribune an official "who Is very close in the presi- dents counsels' is quoted as say ing:
 "The world is sick, very sick.
 1t cannot go on under present
 conditions much longer. With
 people out of work and starving,
 how can we or any one else keep
 on building costly warships?"
 We hope that this official. who- ever he is, is not so close to the president as our correspondent be- lieves. When he says "cosly war ships" what does he mean? Arc they costly in relation to the American trade to be protected which, as the president has shown is a vital element in he livelihood of millions of American families Can they be called costly when easily 80 per cent of their cost goes to the pockets of labor, to men who otherwise would indeed be "out of work and starving"? Or does this official disapprove oi public construction by the govern III ucDItbbtu bO he should be told that the presi- dent has set a very powerful pre- cedent for unemployment relief by public works.
 When this unnamed official asys "how can we or any one else" sf- ford to maintain a defense estab- lishment, he overlooks some very obvious truths, one of which if that the American naval establish ment Is not a heavy economic bur- den on the American people and has never been 50 described by the leaders of the financial community Another truth which this official would do we'll to examine Is that France, with one of the largest armies In the world, has brought herself to pitch of economic strength where she can more near ly do as she pleases than virtually any other European power Throughout her post-war rise to economic independence she has maintained this army. There are few people in France to-day who are "out of work and starving" It is also safe to presume that there are few officials in France who take 50 false a view of the national defense as does this un- named Washington official.
