Red Hair for Exotic

Red hair is best for exotic roles,

hair is Titan.

Attend Masquerade

Enough Of that, however. We
come now to a day when Mr..
and Mrs. Smith are supposed to
attend a masquerade ball at
the home of the McSwanks, on
Long Island. It is to be one OF
the big events Of the season,
and both the husband and wife
have been preparing for it for
some time.
On the morning Of the day
in question, Mrs. Smith was
suddenly seized with an idea.
She still suspected her husband
to a great extent. Something
in her heart told her that he
was a two-timing man.
Wouldn't this masquerade ball
be the greatest spot in the
world to find out definitely?
She decided to go through
with it. She sat herself down,
and thought long and carefully.
And long before her husband
arrived home to dress for the
party, her plan was complete.
When Mr.. Smith walked in,
his wife was stretched out
upon the sofa with a cold rag
upon her pretty head. He
rushed to her.

they are and not one single silk
worker went back into his shop on
Monday The Strike Committee has
taken thorough steps to organize the
picketing on a firmer basis. A com

T w. U. picket line has again post
poned final action on where to af-,
filiate. Terror by company agents
among the strikers is extreme and
although the workers want our lead
ership, they are afraid at present
to express then%elves to this effect.
The Associated-A. F. Of L. has an
nounced that by unanimous vote, the
workers decided to affiliate with
them, but that is absolutely false.
At meeting Tuesday morning, the
question will again be taken up.
The mass meeting at Turn Hall
this morning was packed to over
flowing with hardly any standing
room left. Max Bedacht addressed
the strikers in the name of the Cen
trail Committee of the Communist
Party. opening his talk by bringing
the greetings of the Party to the
workers and pledging its support to
the strikers with all the determin-
alton and power at the disposal OF
the Party to bring the strike to a
successful conclusion. He pointed
out that the first condition for sue
cess is organization and also that
this organization gets us nowhere
unless the workers have a clear line
of action. He attacked the prin-
ciple of organizing the bosses with
the A. F. of L. together with the AS
ISOLATED as openly adopted. He ex-
planned to the workers that organ
izing the bosses is actually organic
ing the army of our enemy. The
interests of the workers and of the
bosses can never be identical and
therefore it is out of the question
for workers to belong to an organ
lzation such as the Associated, now
part of the A. F. of L., which wants
to organize the bosses in order to
equalize conditions for all the work
ers.
Bedacht pointed out that the As
sociated's aim of equalizing the con-
ditions of means that the bosses will
equalize to the lowest level and not
to the highest and organizing the
bosses is merely strengthening them
against the workers.
Plans are being made and will be
taken up finally at the General
Strike Committee meeting Tuesday

intensive agitation and propaganda
carried on by the socialist party in

mobilize the workers in a so-called

of their members participated, who
for the most part were students, de-
tectives and members of the under

such as Hendin, Shiplacoff and
O'Neill are noted for their betrayal
of the working class.
When the Bronx section Of the
Communist Party learned Of their
so-called "Anti-War demonstration"
from the press, they Immediately
modified themselves to expose the
role of the socialist party.
While the parade took place, the
Communist Party distributed thou
