er of him?
I'VE see by the papers that Col. t.
w Roosevelt, Governor General has
been classifying the budget reports
of the Philippine Islands so that a
deficit miracuously appears a surplus,
Well, that fully qualities him to
be a director on one of our really
big banks.
IF you think that May Day is an
l international workers day of strug-
gle, and is of Importance to all work.
ers, you are in violent disagreement
with the secretary Of the Socialist
Party of Hammond, Indiana. The
Communist Party group at Hammond
invited the Socialist group to have
a joint May Day demonstration and
parade. This is the reply made by
the Socialist Secretary:
1--WE have more on our hands now
than We can possibly take care Of
during the next few weeks. You see,
we are giving several entertainments
and dances. We Just have SO
many meetings on hand at present
that we don't know whether we are
coming or going and we can't take
care of them. Knowing that this May
Day celebration will require a lot
more of our time, which we just can
not spare, we will be obliged to
decline your invitation. 1t will be
impossible for me to go to your meet
ing tomorrow Ito arrange for May
Day-Sparks) as have to meet with
some Radio entertainers who are go
ing to assist us with our program.
Hoping your May Day may be a
success, etc. :"
Hoping YOUR May Day! Enter
tainments and dances! Radio En-
tertainers! Too busy! More time than
we can spare!
This is how the Socialist Party at
i Hammond, Indiana, enters into
united fronts for May Day celebra-
ton.
QY the way, what has become of the
- proposal to guarantee bank de-
positS which was heralded with such
hallelujas?
YOU may have noticed that Burck's
powerful drawings have been
somewhat reduced in size the last
few days.
So many important events have
been breaking, and the Daily is sol
crowded for space that this has been
unavoidable.
Things have reached such a state,
that Burck has asked us whether
he can rent our column for space
for his drawings.
We don't think our admirers would
stand for. that.
All OF which goes to show that al
working class newspaper, like the
Daily, needs much more space than
it now commands. We must bend
every effort to enlarge the Daily.
WHICH reminds us that Burck has
W the distinction of having painted
in his mural 1.-THE Chinese Red
Army the only picture of a Boil
shevik that really looked like Boil
shevik. The painting of the Chinese
Bolshevik leading the army of Chin
ese peasants seemed to us a master
piece. The painting was recently ex-
hibited at an exhibition of the New
York John Reed Club. We would
like to see it reproduced and distri-
buted over the country.
NEWS comes from Paris that the
~ Academy of Education and Social
Aid of which Monsignor Baudrillat
OF the immortal French Academy is
President offers prize of $4,000 to
the author of the best novel on Boil
shevism.
And the Chairman of the judges
committee is none other than our
fat friend G. K. Chesterton, the Eng
lish novelist, who thinks the two
greatest things in the world are war
and prayer.
The foul odor of the winning novel
reaches us even before it is written.
A BRAND new way of cutting work.
IA ers wages has been discovered
by Sidney Hillman, president of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America. The bosses keep part of the
workers wages as a loan"
Sidney has put this ingenious
scheme into effect in Rochester, New
York. And one of the largest clothing
manufacturing firms in that ethyl
"rejoices" that the old truth about
overhead (wages) that it is an in
soluble problem has been entirely ex-
ploded.'
Hillman's job, apparently, is to
solve the "insoluble problem" of over
head for the bosses.
The Hitler government is going
to show how much it loves the
German workers by choosing rs Of
them who have the longest records
as good members of the Nazis, and
letting them stay for one day at
Berlin's finest hotel.
But where will these workers
live for the rest of the 364 days
of the year?
And who lives in the fine hotels
the rest of the year?
Hitler uses the same technique
of showing his love for the work
ers as the American railroad kings
who hand out $500 watch to
workHr who has completed fifty
years of service and whom they
