Denmark Abolishes
Right to Strike;
Hits Toilers
RAISE LIVING COST
Communists Build
Mass Resistance

COPENHAGEN, Feb. l. -
With the aid of the socialists
in a coalition with the parties
of the Left, and in the face
of mass protests against it's
policy led by the Communist
Party, which were broken up
by police using tear gas, the
Danish government has abolished the
right to strike and enacted infla-
tionary measures which greatly In
crease the cost of living for the toll
ing population,
Having gone off the gold standard
in order to maintain its position in
the British market, the krone has
now been inflated by government
edict to 22is to the pound. Wages
are being slashed right and left and
unemployment is increasing rapidly
Strikes Illegal
The anti-strike legislation was car
ried through under the threat of a
lockout of some 100000 workers by
employers declarations. The new Law
also prohibits lockouts but is directed
against the workers since it was clear
that the threatened lockout If car
ried through would have resulted in
COUNTER strike action with the Com
munist Party securing a tremendous
increase in its influence. Under the
law, strikes for higher wages to meet
the rapidly increasing cost of living
are made illegal.
The government program is in
tended to placate the well-to-do and
wealthy farmers and one Of its rul-
ings provide for the destruction of
1900 cattle weekly in order to keep
up the price OF meat by reducing the
supply of livestock.
1t is estimated that the govern
ment program will increase the in
come of the land owners by 250,00o,-
900 kronGn annually. Practically all
of this increase will have to be borne
by industrial and clerical workers.
This is socialism of the Second In
ternational variety in Denmark. Ham
let was right. 1t Is the Socialist Par
ty of Denmark.

We worked hard, plenty overtime
for straight pay.
At Christmas we were all laid of
for ten days with lipstick for pay.
January 3 we came back, and now
we're working only 40 cioms. During
the season they hired a couple Of
hundred girls for SIS week for a full
51a day week. Now we're making be-
tween So to $40 for 40 hours And
now Kasdan, our boss, is planning a
new wage cut. AS soon as new spring
orders come in, we'll go back to the
49 hours week for the forty hours
pay! That is what happened last
year, and what will happen again,
unless We organize to prevent him.

BRITISH TROOPS REMAIN

ALEPPO, Syria, Jan. (By MaiD.
The British government, which is
obliged by treaty to withdraw Brit
ish troops of occupation now that
Iraq has entered the League of Ma
tions, declares that it proposes to
have them remain in Iraq for the
present. The British troops are to
police the roads and protect British
interests in Iraq.
Turkish circles are of the opinion
that this statement is occasioned by
the present dispute between Great
Britain and Persia over the Anglo

pAR shooters and even dubs among our

OF the Southwestern championship tourn-

extended in all sincerity.
Admitting and even glorying in the
fact that we don't know a niblick from

and that we are content to remain in
such ignorance we recognize the fact
that golf brings plenty of wholesome and
beneficial recreation TO the other fell

The local club has gone to consider
able expense and has done much work to
get the tournament under way. 1t is
good thing, not only for the club and
golfers, but for FL Centre and Imperial
Valley.
Golfers from numerous points in the
southwest have been attracted by the
tournament We hope they enjoy every
moment of their stay here. 1t may be
disloyal to wish them success in eaptur-
ing the prizes, therefor discretion bids
us refrain from such expression. But if
they do lick our best, the latter will
lead the long line of congratulators and
will offer no alibis.
An affair such as this tournament pro-

Out under the bright sun and the

Until at last he reached little val

the grass was green.
"Oh, I'm sure Spring must have

''Ey yerything is SO lovely. Perhaps

He hoped around in the grass

when he took q second look he saw

So the old rabbit gentleman and
the little rabbit orphan hoped
through the green grass and all at
once Bunty said:
"Oh, see a yellow flower"
Then it must dandelion!" eX-
claimed Uncle Wiggily.
"Oh! Oh! A lion!" gasped Bunty.
"I don't want lion to catch me!'
Don't be silly!" laughed Uncle
Wiggily. This isn't an animal lion.
It is only a yellow dandelion flow
er. 1t has the last name of lion,
but that doesn't mean a circus
lion or even a Zoo lion. Have no
fear, Bunty. Pick the yellow flow

So Bunty had no fear and she
picked the yellow flower and then,
all of a sudden, as she was taking
it to Mr.. Longears, she heard a
noise in the bushes. A sniping,
swapping, snarling noise and she
said:
"Oh, dear"
Don't be afraid, Bunty!" said
Uncle Wiggily. Come to me-"
So Bunty went to Uncle Wiggily
