Negro uplifters to betray the mass

exposed the treacherous activities Of
the leaders of the NA.A.C.P. She
branded Walter White and william

of the boys and have refused to turn
these funds over to the defense,
while at the same time doing every
thing possible to prevent Negro or

money to the international Labor
Defense. She made an earnest plea
to the workers to support the Inter-
national Labor Defense and the
League of Struggle for Negro Rights
as the only two organizations de-
Tending the boys. she bitterly ac-
cused the N.A.A.CP. leaders of

treacherous attacks on the defense.
Striking Miners Tell of Struggle.
The crowd also received message
from the 10000 Negro and white
miners on strike in Pennsylvania,

into action unframed and without
equipment and then accused of cow

happened. He called upon them to
refuse to fight for the interests of
the imperialists, but for all workers,
white and Negro, turn the guns
given them In the next war against
their own oppressors here at home.
He called ON the workers to demon
strate against the war being pre-
pared by the bosses, by coming out
in masses on August LIST. He was
loudly cheered.
Many Organizations Out.
Other speakers included Cecil
Hope, June Croll, organizer of the
Needle Trades industrial Union,
Alfred Williams, Paul Beaverholdt,
Bill Siroka of the Young Communist
League, Sam Nessin, of the Unerl-

Many organizations participated
with their banners in the demon

Serious Shortcomings.
One serious weakness of the DEM
onstration was the failure suffi-
GENTLY to mobilize the Negro workers
for the protest against the Scots
boro outrage. OF the 5000 who
marched, only SO were Negroes. That
this was not because of any lack of
interest in the fight on the part of
the Negro masses of Harlem was
demonstrated by the enthusiastic
cheers and applause given the pa
rade from the sidewalks and the
and roofs of many houses.

Ads Raise Standard of Living

TT HAT the structure of American civilization has
been based to large extent upon the achievements
and benefits of advertising is pertinent fact.
Look at countries like Russia and Mexico where bust
and manufacturers make no effort to adver-
tse. Advertising stimulates consumption increases
production and puts money into circulation Increas-
ed advertising would be effective factor in the sou
ton of many current economic problems.
Speaking on advertising principles and practices,
Richard H. Waldo president of the Mcclure Syndicate,
made the statement that: It has persuaded the peo
pie of the United States by its educational influence
to adopt higher standard of living than was ever
achieved by any people earth 1t has taught peo-
pie what clothes to wear, what foods to eat, what
books to read what sort of homes they should live in
and what cleanliness MEANS the value of swift trans
portation and the necessity for good roads.
He further asserted that, advertising is as log
ical an economic part of price of article as is
the of the locomotive which hauls it to market
the cost of the machine which makes it, the labor
of the mechanic who the machine. The public
the advertising of merchandise.

CIRCULAR GIVES TEST
FOR SAND IMPURITIES

Clean sand is one of the most i'm
portant essentials for making good
concrete, a fact too often overlooked
by trainers making concrete for home
use. Organic impurities, meaning
either vegetable or animal matter,
are especially likely to give trouble.
They prevent the proper setting of
cement, with the result that the con-
crete hardens very slowly, or in ex-
IRENE cases may not harden at all.
Concrete made from sand containing
such impurities may never attain full
strength, and the surface may scale
and wear poorly in floor or walk.
The above facts are clearly pointed
out in a new circular issued by the
agricultural extension division of the
University of Minnesota and entitled
Simple Test for Impurities in Sand
to be Used for Concrete on the
Farm" A further danger from or
ganic impurities is that they are not
always easy to see. Consequently,
the publication gives details for a
simple test that can be made, using
materials available in almost any kit
chen. Directions are also given for
washing sand by two simple methods.
Free copies of this publication may
be secured by addressing the Mailing
Room, University Farm, st. Paul,
and asking for Circular No. "a. The
authors of this are Dalton G. Miller,
division of agricultural engineering,
U. S. Department of Agriculture, and
Philip w. Manson, division of agri-
cultural engineering, University
Farm, and Minnesota State Depart
ment of Drainage and Waters.

Anything Better Than County Jail

working proposal to ask the state to create
several regional warehouses; where certain types
of prisoners be sent instead of to the county as
where they work and at least their keep

If the state would study the St. Louis county
workfarm it would be encouraged to adopt this plan
AS the county attorneys point out the county Jail does
not effectualy punish discipline prisoners it per-
mits idleness; it throws young first offenders and
hardened criminals together in mschievous associa
tion and it contains many offenders, unable to
anything, with dependents that may become public
charges.

spot in the American system of handling crime. It
is the worst of all public institutions ST. Louis

Governor Olson Suggests

MONG other things suggested and recommended
~ by Governor Olson in his inaugural address was
the repeal of the Newspaper Gag Law of 1925
which he said unwise law because of the posi-
bes of its abuse. The Minnesota press has insisted
that from the very first. The National Press associa
tion has gone record favoring it's repeal. The Chi
cago Tribune has spent millions of dollars in taking
this to the supreme courts.
But Governor Olson's suggestion of the establish
ment of state printing plant ito supply the needs of
the state government and it's subdivisions" i'm
practical well unfair. 1t is doubtful whether
the expense of operation would justify the investment.
Labor would cost the same and printing and paper
material would not be much less. Furthermore why
is it that when certain class gets into office that it
seeks to compete with established trades and business
under the guise of saving the taxpayers money?
Consider the initial investment and the upkeep,
which is maintained by the Independent printing
Shops wouldn't that problem be the with state
owned plant? And wouldn't this expense add to tax
alton than equivalent to what the citizens pay
for printing supplies from the independent shop? The
public would still have to pay the bill. Government
is business in ITSELF why project activities into
established trades and industries.
Consider the Non-partisan experiments in North
Dakota with state mills and other institutions that the
taxpayers still paying for. AS idea it is
cialstic and the failures of neighboring state
along these lines sufficient question it's feasible

Midwestern Statemanship

- ENATOR SCHALL of Minnesota is chairman of
= the senates committee interoceanic canals In
recent interview he announced that he would
introduce legislation for the construction of the Mic
araguan canal to supplement the Panama canal as
the army engineering board now surveying the
Nicaraguan route reports it. He is confident that
the report will be favorable.
This is midwestern craftsmanship at its typical
worst The construction Of the Nicaraguan canal will
be of unquestoned value to the port cities the At
lantic and Pacific but it will disadvantage the inland
states, of which Mr. Scha is supposed to repre-
sent at Washington Cheap ntercoastal rates by way
most profitable markets the Pacific slope Our
manufacturers and merchants longer compete
equal terms in the western markets with the
facturers of the eastern seaboard, though we a
thousand miles the west coast the flies.
Mr.. SchaIl proposes to make matters worse by
building another canal The last report of the COVER
of the Panama canal states that no decrease in
tolls is justified because the income from the canal
is not than sufficient to retire the debt incurred
in building it. Nevertheless Mr. Schall would ask adj
ditional hundreds of millions from the taxpayers of
this region to build another shipway which for many
years to come must almost certainly operate at a
heavy loss and in any event must work injury to agri
culture and industry in the central states.
If Mr.. Schall were a realist he would know that
the waterways in which his state is interested the
internal waterways. He would do all in his power to
prevent the expenditure of penny the Ncaraguan
route at least until the Mississippi system is compet-
ed, and then he would examine the Nicaraguan
project with good deal of justified suspicion. It may
have value for naval Defense but commercially it has
none for the great central valley of country which
Mr.. Schall should speak for.-Chcago Tribune.

J 1t was ever thus. The governing generation
