Slim interrupted to ask if he met
the American delegation at the Con-
gress.
Eyes, Slim, they wanted me to give
you their regards. Tommy Ray was
| there, and Cottle from the West
Coast, and a colored longshoreman
from Philadelphia, and Mink, ano
LorenZ."
How many delegates were there
altogether"
Damn near 200, representing 81
countries But not all Reds; two
thirds were not red. But they were al
real workers: husky longshoremer
from France and Sweden: fisher
men from Portugal and Greece; sea-
men from England and Germany
Then crews came from ships in port
Hindus, Russians, and delegations
and kilograms from China, Japan
Africa, Cuba, Australia, Uruguay
from all ends of the earth"
Blackey looked at Bob reproach-
fully, and shook his head. $50 you've
gone over to the Reds, too. ?"
Pitts and Slim exchanged glances
Bobby and Stanley got into an ar
gument, Bobby getting excited in his
old way. He ran into his fo'casle and
came back with a paper. mo, STAN
ley, the thing isn't as easy as that
We've not only got to fight the ship
owners, but the refornlist trade union
leaders, especially the I.TF. and heI
national sections. They are mostly tc
blame for conditions being what they
are. Take the strike of the Thames
boatmen. All the longshoremen OF
London and Liverpool were willing
to strike with them and did, but what
did Bevin, head of the longshore-
mems union, do? Said the strike
didn't concern them, and made his
men go to work"
Eskimo, Lag and a couple of Others
weren't interested in this stuff and
went to their hunks. Stanley and the
others remained.
"Know what this same louise Be-
vim said at a meeting of the League
of Nations recently? AS long as the
metal workers make munitions, and
the shipworkers build ships, the long
shoremen could load munitions
That was his excuse for not stop
ping war through means of strike
This got Pitts excited and he told
Bobby about the resolution he had
gotten up. Bobby seemed to have
learned lot during these couple OF
weeks. He gave another example:
What do you think of Spence
head Of the English seamen's union
the NUS? He has reached the point
where he considers strike bolshevik
treason and a crime, and he brags
in the green Spew" about the fact
that he broke the big strikes in 1925
and 1926 by providing blacklegs! And
take the right Honorable Mister
Thomas, Colonial Minister to His
Majesty, and Honorable Member of
the I.T.F.! That dog shoots colonial
seamen and people down at the least
sign of rebellion, and is an Honorable
Member of the I.T.F., which is sup
posed to be labor organizations"
1t would be hard to describe Sims
feelings at this change in Bobby
Was that the same Bobby who hated
the Reds so, who had hated the Ne
groes 50? 1t became late. Most of the
men went to their hunks. Pitts, Bob
by and Slim remained in the mess
room. :. the enlarged ships group.

BObby's Adventure.

While in Gdynia, the doctor had
" come on board to examine the
steward who was half-bald. The
doctor said he had appendicitis. AS
there was no adequate hospital in
Gdynia, the man had to wait until
they reached Copenhagen. Mean
while, he had to take certain me-
dicine which the doctor gave, him,

a spoonful, making a terrible. face

Since the Utah wasn't going in

him off and get new steward. This

steward returned, who came1along

with loud hellos. That nigh,

asked about Molly and Eskimo

A Socialist MdyOr
By MORRIS kAAIMAN

comrades amt got time TO keep COM
in here. Tell him Jerry Baker wants
to see him" The workers voice was
blunt.
The Secretary gave in and went
into an inner Office. He returned af-
ter few minutes and held the door
open. Come in, gentlemen"
Thomas Van Lear, seated behind
large mahogany desk, rose to his full
six feet of height as the delegation
tramped in.
Hello, comrades"
Hello, comrade," the delegates
mumbled
Hello, there, Jerry" The Mayor
shook hands with the old grizzled
worker We'll, what can I do for
you, comrades?"
Jerry Barker ignored his polite tone
of voice.
Tom, why in the hell haven't you
got comrade for secretary, so we
wouldn't have to cool our feet trying
to see you," he said gruffly.
"a man can't do everything he
wants" Van Lear said with a twinkle
at the short stubby worker, What
else is on your minds, comrades?"
The party's treasury is busted" the
newly elected secretary of the Mime
sofa Socialist Party said. 1--WE spent
everything to get you elected We're
supposed to get ten per cent Of your
salary, Comrade Van Lear"
Van Lear looked at him from under
half closed eyes.
II am broke myself" he said with
sudden laugh.
You're getting fat salary for
being Mayor, Tom," Jerry Barker
said. THE Secretary says you aren't
even paying your dues"
And We elected you mayor on the
Socialist ticket" the Party's secretary,
left-winger, now a member of the
Communist Party, said, and he added
cuttingly, What Socialist ordinances
have you signed since you were
electedP"
Van Lears face grew red.
THE city elected me-" he said an
grily. There aren't enough Socia-
lists in Minneapolis to have given me
that big vote. You know that as well
as I do. I represent all the people,
not just Socialists"
Jerry Barker probably forgot he
was in the mayors grand room. Any
way, he spat violently on the soft,
oriental carpet. Then he chewed his
gray moustache.
Van Lear watched the spittle then
looked at Barker Grossly.
II thought you comrades came to
help me, not to bother me" he said,
with an anger he rarely showed while
speaking about the suffering of labor
under capitalism.
Barker looked at him for a little
while in wonderment. Then he
seemed to crumple and turned around
to CO. But as the other members of
the delegation started shuffling out,
Barker turned around, his deep eyes
blazing.
you're a traitor, Toni" he said,
yet without a great deal of anger.
He paused, stared at the mayor, then
doomed forth, "You amt no comrade
of mine, Van Lear. You're a yellow
traitor to labor!" Barker spat again
and left.
That was the last delegation sent
to Van Lear. After half year, when
the police protected scabs brought
from out of town to break workers
strikes, the local Of which he was a
member voted to expel him. But his
friends later had him reinstated Ee
came to no meetings, he paid no dues,
let alone the ten per cent. signed bills
that sny capitalist mayor would have
signed, was surrounded by some Of
the worst underworld elements Of
Minneapolis, but remained Socia-
list in good standing"

VETERANS RELIEF
BOARD DUE SOON
First of Groups to- Be Set Up
This Week Probably, Ad-
ministration Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The first Of the special boards to
review claims of veterans to whom
money is paid under the legal pre-
sumption that their injuries resulted
from wartime duty probably will be
established this week.
Veterans Administration officials,
hopeful that most of the boards could
be Set up and functioning by August
l, told newspaper men that at the
moment the creation of the agencies
was up to President Roosevelt, who
will appoint the members.
To fill the places on the go to 80
boards list Of several thousand names
has been sent to President Roosevelt.
Each board will have three civilian
members and two from the Veterans
Administration to review the cac-s Of
these veterans. They are classified as
"preSumptive cases" because their COM
pensation payments were allowed orig
inally under a law of 1924 providing
that for certain diseases it should be
presumed they originated in service.
The economy law reduces the pay
ments tc IS per cent and provides until
October 81 for the boards to review
the cases and determine whether the
veteran shall continue to be classified
as having disability of service origin.
There are about 100000 veterans in
this classification
