Budenz said. In other towns, as in
Seattle, landlords readily let the Lea
CUES freely use vacant buildings as
Headquarters.
For StrangIing Fight On Evictions
In speaking about the struggle
against evictions, Budenz stated in
his report that the practice of holding
meeting before the house Of a work
er to be evicted, as well as that of
putting back the furniture is not
advisable as it gives the evicted
worker a "lot of publicity that he
does not want" The conference for
Progressive Labor Action must fight,
he said, for a moratorium on evic-
tions," without however indicating
through what channels. 1t is obvious
that the Conference for Progressive
Labor Action merely aims to strangle
the struggle against evictions.

SOUTH RIVER, N. J., Sept A.
The 1900 South River dressmakers
will meet tomorrow (Monday) at l
pm, at Polish National Hall to make
plans for active mass picketing
Tuesday morning. The strike ranks
stand fast. The bosses are trying to
frighten them by advertising that
the mills will reopen Tuesday NOR
ming, and the police are also pub
fishing statement that they will
give full protection" to all who go
back to work.
A big mass picket line is necessary
Tuesday morning. All strikers on the
picket line!
The U. S. Department of Labor is
trying to break the strike too Com
missioner Musset of the Labor De-
partment has called the strike lead
ers and company heads to a confer
ence Tuesday morning. The strike
committee will be represented there
but goes with instructions from the
strikers not to yield on the demands
for 25 cents a dress instead of the
old prices, some of which as low as
ten cents.
Quick action by the intended VIC
tins prevented unusually dirty
frame-up of some of the girl strike
leaders here yesterday. A group Of
them were waiting for the bus ir
hoodlumS came forward, addressed
them Familiarity, and tried to press
money into their hands.
The detectives were waiting nearby
to dash in and arrest them as pros
titutes, soliciting" on the streets
The girls spoiled the scheme b,
thrusting back the hoodlums ant
running into the bus station wher
they lodged complaint about bein
annoyed.
This follows close on the heels o
the frame-up of Woods, represen
tative of the Workers Internationa
Relief, who was railroaded to tn
workhouse for 60 days on the ridi
culous charge of using profan
language.

Council as a result of a successful
mass struggle for immediate relief
which the Council conducted last

NEW YORK. 49, At a meeting in
Harlem Saturday under the auspices
of the Jim-Crow Federated Colored
Catholics of the United States, Hugh
Franey, A. F L. miSleader, made his
usual hypocritical defense of the jim
crow practices in the A. F. of L., de-
claring these practices to be mon
existent" and pretending that there
was no discrimination, except in "lso-
lated cases, by the A. F. of L. unions

against Negro workers The meeting
west 18Th Street. 1t was attended
mainly by Negro reformist leaders
Totten Aids Lies.
Ashley L. Totten, secretary and
treasurer of the Brotherhood OF
Sleeping Car Porters, gave objective
support to the lies Of Frayne, by at
tempting to place the blame for the
A. F. of L. jin-crow policy at the
door OF Negro workers themselves
while admitting that there was I'M
fair discrimination by the employers
Thomas w. Turner, president OF
the iim-croW Catholic federation re-
echoed the ISLANDERS by Vol and Tot
ten against the Negro workers, de-
claring the Negro was partly re-
sponsible" for the inferior wage scales
and terrible working conditions and
alleging that many deliberately "un-
dsrsold" the white worker. In this
way, Turner defended the jim-crow
rolicies of the A. F. of L. leaders
while attacking Negro workers for
scabbing against the A. F. Of L. unions
which deny them admission and
thus help the employers policy OF
isolation and more intensive exploit
tstion of the Negro toilerS.
Praises Intentions of Boss Robbers.
George N. Shuster, managing editor
Of the Commonweal', Catholic week

rcrations of tens of thousands OF

Tended the capitalists who fleeced
these workers, declaring that John

| WALKER MAY NOT

Bosses Feel Graft Will
Harm Roosevelt

Tammany chieftains are undecided
as to whether they should take
chance with Jimmy Walker, who
resigned the job of mayor of New
York under fire of graft charges.
The Tammany graft machine, with
Joseph Mckee as acting mayor can
carry on just as well as with Walker,
and there is some fear expressed that
Walker might not make the grade.
Might Harm Roosevelt Game
Also the candidacy of Walter
running on the same ticket in the
same election with Roosevelt might
make less effective the Roosevelt
game, which is to try to make it
appear that Roosevelt has broken
with Tammany.
Tammany is interested in helping
Roosevelt in every way and it will
arrange for Walker to put forth some
sort of excuse, probably illness, to
save his face so he can later be used
in the state legislature or senate. or
get some other job through his cap
italist masters

caused masses of workers to hold in

only a cloak to shield the grafters
and the savage attacks of capitalism

LABOR ACUlOn, aCUeQ as CHAIRMAN
Many labor misleaders attended.
keep Out Fights For Workers"
Budenz said that his report on the
Unemployed Citizens League couldn't
be complete as these leagues are
still in the experimental stage. He
added however that unless radicals
and reds, meaning naturally Com
munistS, are kept out of the Unem-
uloyed Citizens Leagues, they will not
go far. He thus revealed that these
leagues are not intended to aid the
unemployed workers but to prevent
these starving and jobless workers
from joining in the struggle for i'm
mediate assistance and unemployment
insurance under the leadership of
the Communist Party.
Cop Chief, Delegate
A delegate who showed his badge
as chief of Police spoke on the re-
port stating that the Unemployed
Citizens League of which he is a
leading member succeeded on several
occasions in keeping Negro workers,
jobless and starving, from struggling
by calling on business men and rich
farmers and convincing them to hand
out some food for the joblesS. He
was greeted with a general prolonged
applause when he concluded his
speech. Other delegates spoke on the
same lines and then the Convention
adjourned.
Anarchist Leader With Music
Budenz in his report indicated that
before the Convention is over a spe-
cial committee will present its re-
commentator on the best ways Of
dealing with the republican and de-
mocratic politicians as well as with
the radicals"
Carlo Tresca, anarchist misleadel
of the Italian workers, was praised
by Budenz for his work in Patterson
where an Unemployed Citizens Lea
que is being organized. Headquarters
for the League were provided in Pat
terson through Tresca's connections

Revival of the Chesapeake
Bay bridge project is under
way in Washington. Howard
Bruce, of Baltimore, chairman
of the bridge commission, and
James III. Preston, former May
or of Baltimore, have written
to Representative William P.
Cole, regarding the possibility
of obtaining funds from the
Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration, should Congress a.
mend the act to permit loans
of this character.
Congress authorized con-
struction of the bridge between
Millers Island and the Eastern
Shore three years ago, and
since has extended the time for
it's beginning and completion.
Little has been done in the
last two years toward starting
construction, although Cover
nor Richie appointed a COM

GOLDEN JUBILEE MEETING

The Maryland Pharmaceu-
teal Association, comprising
the pharmacists, wholesale
druggists, and manufacturing
chemists of the State, will OBJ
serve it's golden anniversary at
Ocean City, June 21-24. The
Association was founded in
1882 in an effort to raise the
standard Of drugs and medi-
cines, and to provide adequate
pharmaceutical training for
those engaging in the opera
ton of drug stores.
The Ocean City meeting,
marking the golden. jubilee Of
the Association, will attract
hundreds of pharmacists from
Maryland, Delaware, and the
District of Columbia.
Some idea of the profession
al and commercial Importance
of the drug store is gained from
the statement made by the Blu
reau of the Census that the
drug stores of the State do an
annual business iof about $780,
100000. A recent survey by
the Maryland State Depart
ment of Health shows that
there are over 100000 pre-
scriptions compounded each
year in the drug stores of the
State, or an average Of more
than 5000 for each store.
These figures indicate the pub
lie health significance of phar-
macy, and thus the fiftieth an
niversary of the Maryland
Pharmaceutical Association be-
comes of general interest.

WHAT SHALL WE USE FOR
MONEY?

An increasing volume of ex-
pert opinion holds that it is
possible to stabilize silver and
still avoid imitation.
AS the commercial machin-
cry of the world grows more
complicated and higher-geared,
gold is less able to keep it 60
ing. Under present conditions,
whole nations, with tremend..
GUS populations, are unable to
buy in this and other countries,
simply because their money
metal, silver, has lost most OF
its purchasing power.
What the ratio should be be-
tween gold and silver can BE-
decided by investigation. But
this much is becoming appar-
ent to the average citizen
when the bulk of gold is held
by two countries, France and
the United States, and when
silver is selling at unprece-
dentedly low levels, we are
headed for international chaos
Bringing silver back" would
be a long step toward the per-
manent solution of the difficult
ties now perplexing all the ma
tions.
The fact that the situation is
serious is the outstanding rea-
son for it having the unbiased
and unselfish consideration of
the best minds in the leading
countries of the world.

We are a nation dedicated to

Yet we have built up the big
gest and most expensive gov
ernmental machinery created

mental promotion and regula-
ton of business than any other

The statement was recently
made from an authoritative
source that there are upwards
OF 100000 tax spending bodies

1t is estimated that during
the fiscal year to end June 80,
these bodies will have spent
the sum of $4,000. 100000, one
fifth of the national income.
Where, in 1903, the per capita

MD.-PA. BOUNDARY LINE
DISPUTE
Mason and Dixon Line Out
growth OF Bitter Debate

growth VI Bitter Debate
Just two centuries ago,
Maryland and Pennsylvania
made the settlement over their
boundary which later formed
the basis of the Mason and
Dixon Line. From a petty
squabble between jealous Col
onies, arose the famous divid-
ing line which Mason and Dix
on drew in indelible ink on the
pages of American history. it
has faded with the years for
the sectional differences which
it formerly symbolized have
mostly disappeared.
The protracted boundary dis
pute between Pennsylvania and
Maryland was caused original
ly by ambiguity in their char
tiers and by ignorance of the
geography of Colonial Aneri-
ca. Mary protested against
Charles IFS grant to William
Penn, claiming for itself the
mouth of the Delaware and a
S trip along Pennsylvania
present southern border, in
Guiding the site of Philadelphia.
Virginia and Connecticut like
wise pushed claims which, if
they had been granted, would
have stripped Pennsylvania,
not to be outdone, asserted it's
rights to land.
The quarrel between Penn
sylvania and Maryland was
destined to become perhaps
the most bitter of the border
controversies of colonial days. I"
1t was not finally settled till
1921. Conferences failed, ap-
peals were made to the Kings
Privy Council, royal mandates
were obtained-there was even
bloodshed by partisans who
were said to be supported by
State funds. Then in 1882 the
descendants of William Penn
and Lord Baltimore reached an
agreement by which Pennsyl-
vavnia's southern boundary
was fixed on paper at least.
The actual marking of the line
was long delayed by further dis
putes, and it was not until 1850
that representatives of the
two colonies were also to de-
eide on a survey.
Local surveyors were called
upon at first, among them DAY.
id Rittenhouse, the young
American astronomer, the BIZ
centennial of whose birth is
being celebrated this year. But
their slowness led the proprie-
tors to ask the London mathe-
maticians and astronomers.
Charles Mason and jeremiah
Dixon, to undertake the WORK,
With the aid of a corps of axe
men, they succeeded in tracing
most of the present southern
boundary line of Pennsylvania,
but the threat of hostile Indi-
ans forced them to leave a Sec
ton in the West incomplete,
At each mile of the boundary
they erected a stone of a cairn,
and every fifth stone was
marked with the arms of Penn
on one side and Lord Baltimore
on the other.
Mason and Dixon's line be-
came nationally prominent az
ter the Congressional debates
of 1819-1820, leading up to the
Missouri Compromise. = Ne v
