Living Costs Soar
Furthermore the cost of living Is
rising sky high. Breadstuffs are 41%
per cent higher than in September of
last year. With the introduction of
the codes, the wholesalers and re-
tailers are raising their prices, which
keeps the workers from buying.
AT the same time, Green informs

Teachers to Get Only

in Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.-For the
last four months of 1888, the school
teachers of Minneapolis will receive
only At per cent of their scheduled
salary, according to a decision of
the School Board and the Board of
Estimate and Taxation. The teach
ers have received three wage cuts.
each one of which was promised to
be the last one and only temporary.
First they got an IL per cent cut,
then 1921 per cent, and the last one
is 80 per cent. Widespread privation
and even starvation among the
teachers will result from this latest
decision. The teachers are indignant
at this action. The A. F. of L. has
repeatedly accepted these wage cuts
without organizing struggle.

Ford and Mira

Old Hank Ford starts war on
Mira Also Hank is reported to have
given something like quarter of
million dollars to Hitler and fascism.
But Hitler and the Kaiser praise the
MIRA. And Austrian fascists fight
the German fascists. The German
effs hate the Jews, Of course, but
now bunch of bourgeois Jews have
turned eff, with brown shirts, salute,
tinhorn napoleon leader, and all.
Friends, it all gets confusing some
times. Why should these birds of a
feather not flock together? Why do
they bump each other off so freely?
Aren't all effs alike? Well, put it
this way-why do gangsters bump
each other off? They are all fellow
gangsters. and should love each other.
But the answer is: the capitalist effs,
like gangsters, are pushed forward
by economic laws towards conquest
and monopoly. Hitler would like to
rule the world, it's obvious, but Mus
solini would never let him. You

10 an end here yesterday.
Communism, he declared to be the
most primitive state Of human So
ciety, because it destroyed class divi-
sions, and he called the enslavement
of the masses, and of whole races,
by a handful of superior" men the
highest development of evolution.
With the diplomatic representa-
tives Of the Baltic states, bordering
the Soviet Union, and with black
shirted Fascists from Great Britain
and Italy conspicuously present, his
speech was an Indictment for war
against the Soviet Union at the same
time that it urged his 10000 local
henchnen to redouble their oppres-
sion of the German working class in
the service of the big capitalists of
Germany.
The anti-Soviet character of his
speech has special significance in the
light of his own and Alfred Hugen-
berg's demand that the capitalist
powers unite in an attack on the
Soviet union.
1.-THE difference between the lowest
and the highest human races is
greater than that between the lowest
human races and the highest orders
of apes" he declared.
Comparing the relation of worker
and employer to that between horse
and its owner, he declared that the
highest law for the 'great" was to
command, and the highest privilege
of the low" was to obey.
At the same time his concentration
on building up the Nazi terror within
Germany, without referring to for
eign policy excepting in his attack
on the Soviet Union reveals an at
tempt to break through Germany's
political isolation while Germany
r1lshes its preparations for war.
