SUICIDE

Within the past few weeks the world
has been shocked by the suicides OF
two outstanding figures, George East
man and Ivor Kruger Only two or
three years ago Alfred Lowenstein,
another great financier, jumped out OF
his airplane as it was crossing the
British Channel
Literally thousands of other men
who had been more or less prominent
in business and industrial affairs have
killed themselves in the past few years
because they were not equipped with
the resources within themselves to en-
able them to face the world without
money. They knew no other way OF
life except by buying whatever they
thought might contribute to their hap
piness.
In MIR. Eastman's case it was not
lack Of money but the feeling that he
had finished his life's work and woulc
be happier dead than i'll, but in almos
every other recent suicide the reason
has been fear of poverty.
Fear Of eternal damnation has UNI
| duubtedly been deterrent Of suicide
| in the past. Fear Of the worlds opinion
has become a stimulus to suicide. Tho
happiest man is the one who lives Sc
that he does not care what other peo-
pie think about him.

THE BLOODY
HAND OF MORGAN.

What is happening in this Steel
Trust kingdom that they must call
for a new and "frrner" despot?
Ten years ago, the mayor of Du-
quesne said publicly: Not even Je-
sus Christ can come in here as a
union agitator and try to stir up
trouble among the steel workers"
The hand of Morgan lies heavy
everywhere on the United States,
but in this valley, until three or
four years ago, it wasn't hand -
it was claw. 1t was in this val
ley that Fanny So1ins had her
head smashed in by the butt end
of a gun in the hands of thug
who danced on her corpse; that
school children were ridden down
by mounted cossacks; that steel
workers were driven out of their
homes, meetings were fired on,
leaders kidnapped.
Here, too, the relation between
the Morgan-owned Steel Trust and
the U. S. banker government was
clearly revealed when in the strike
of 1919, posters appeared all UP and
down this valley with picture of
Uncle Sam, and the caption, in
half dozen languages: "Uncle
Sam Says: Go Back to Work"

we're SO enraged that the Steel
Trust was forced to grant some de-

cent, and the 14-hour night on the
furnaces abolished. With the union
smashed and the Pittsburgh press
fixed to tell what thigh wages the
steel workers GET, the Steel Trust
retained its bloody-fisted control
over the valley for twelve years.
Besides terror, the Steel Trust
used for this aim the old motto;
Divide and Rule" During the
strike, thousands Of Negroes were
brought up North and into the
strike. Most of them we're men
