Strike Organization
The Central Strike Committee Is
composed of three representatives
from each local strike committee.
The Central Strike Committee,
even before its meeting yesterday in
Denver, issued instructions on organ
i2ation of the strike to all orgsni-

groups and committees. Spanish and
English circular letters we're sent

elected from every group of workers
that are on strike and this strike

received a highest vote of 405 out
Of total of 10000 votes cast.
The Fanner-Labor candidates
were elected, their highest vote be-
ing $500. This election campaign
was carried on in the midst of the
Sharpest attack against the Com

candidate, especially by the local
capitalist press, and can be oonsid-

Hindu Ceremonies Cost Billion 7 early

without it no person has the right 10
call himself a Brahman. About 80
600 thread ceremonies take place every
year, costing about 30.OO0,OoO rupees
There are numerous other cere-
monies on all sorts OF occasions, Ike
the new year, the dassera. the festival
of lights, etc. Added together. all
these ceremonies represent an eypendi-
ture of 2,7SO,OOO,OOO rupees, or S1.O5O.-
100000.
The depressed classes. numbering
about 50,OO0,OOO, have their annual
ceremonial which costs them about 10
rupees per head. adding another 500
100000 rupees, of SIS, 10000 20 the
huge sum spent on ritual The COM
mittee considers that this is an esti-
mate for very lean years For the
average good year this estimate should
be increased by 30 per cent.
Taking the present estimate as the
best for the purpose Of general con-
sideration the committee thinks that
at the present moment, when the gov
eminent dues are being considered as
excessive, an attempt should be made
to reduce these religious charges The
government of India's annual revenue
is round about S5OO.OOO.OO0. The Hindu
spends more than % per cent on his
religious rites and ceremonies alone
If the income of an Indian per head
per year is taken at the official figure
of S25, then the Hindu is spending
more than % per cent Of his income
on religious ceremonies After gov
eminent and other taxes have been
paid the Hindu has TO live on about
10 cents per week.
The committee considers that a
broader and more humane outlook
must be taken of this problem OF life
for the Hindu. They feel that the
question must be considered as a
whole and that heads of the Hindu
religion should be consulted through
out India, and that religious cere-
monies should be reduced in costs so
as to make it possible to undertake
religious ceremonies without having
to borrow from a money lender 10

they seem to prefer it that way.
Now l suspect that it is partly be-
cause they want to be alone and part

nothing to do with them. And the

Religious Body Wants Huge
Expenses Reduced.

London.-That the Hindus in In
dia spend something like $1,25O,OOO.-
600 annually on ceremonial occasions,
and that this national budget of the
people needs economizing, is the main
conclusion and recommendation made
in a preliminary report by the Hindu
religious committee to his holiness the
shankarcharza, Doctor Kurtakoti.
A small committee was appointed
by his holiness at the end of last year
to report on the condition of religious
observances in India and their effect
on the economic condition of the peo-
pie. The following are the general
conclusions drawn up by that CON-
mittee in a preliminary report:
Leaving out the Moslems and the
depressed classes for the moment,
there are 2O0OOO,000 Hindus in Brit
ish India. These are grouped into
about 100000 families. There are
about 100000 deaths each year in
these families.
Every death means religious cere-
monies, lasting for Is days, which are
performed by Hindus of all castles. 1t
has been estimated that SO rupees per
death ceremony would be very mod
est estimate. Thus 200,0O0,0OO rupees
per year is paid out by the Hindus in
what the committee calls death
duties" surrendered to the Hindu So
ciety. Part of this is purely for cere-
monies. Similarly there are about
100000 births per year among the
caste Hindus. The ceremonies in
connection with births are much less
complicated, as seemingly the passing
of man from this life is of more i'm
portance than an arrival into the
world, and the committee calculates
that the total average cost does not
exceed 10 rupees per head, including
the ceremonies. This would add 3d.
100000 rupees to the bill.
During the lifetime of caste Hindu
there are in all IS ceremonies, includ-
ing birth and death. In the case OF
the Brahmans, numbering more than

More pure of heart. more clean of

Or make the eyes little wetter
With thoughts unkind?
Think twice before you write lover,
Think twice before you write a

Shall what you write seem sweet as
clover,
More firmly bind and closer bend,
Or shall it say that all is over
And at an end?
Think twice, life's sea may more d.
vide US
Or may unite us; good or i'll;
Our letters ships to those denied us
That make them near, or farther
still.
Yes, they may come and sit beside US,
If we but will.
Think twice before a letter leaves you,
And, if your pen was dipped in gall,
Though friends are false, though love
deceives you,
Though visions fade and castles
fall

grieves you,
Not write at all.

Vessel Without Helm Arouses
Wrath of Sailors.

London.-Salty old British sea dogs,
descended from many generations Of
adventurous mariners and with sea
water, rather than blood, in their
veins, are disguised.
The object of their loathing is the
Soviet ship Neva, which arrived here
recently with a consignment Of Black
sea butter. 1t is not because the Neva
is foreign ship, nor that she brought
foreign produce in spite of the "Buy
British" campaign. But the Russian
builders of this new vessel have dared
to violate all the notable traditions of
the sea by designing a ship without
the beloved steering wheel.
The forefathers of these old salts
fought hard to retain sails, ropes, rig
ging, and wooden hulls, but gradually
resigned themselves to steam, clear
superstructure, and steel. Many of the
present generation have even been con-
verted from steam to motor power, but

100000, there are two ceremonies,
the death and marriage ceremonies
which are the most important.
Marriage is a ceremony of universal
Importance with Hindus of all castles.
1t has been estimated that there are
in all about 100000 Hindu families

600. But taking into consideration
that two families are concerned in the
marriage, about 100000 families are
affected by it. At the lowest, it is
estimated, each of these families
spends about $50 rupees on the mar
rage, bringing the Hindu national
marriage bill up to the huge sum of
1,5OO,OOO,OO0 rupees.
The thread ceremony among the
Brahmans is the most important, as
