Eskimo Traders Now Use
Up-to-Date Schooners

When an Eskimo family which has
been trading along the shores OF the
Arctic ocean for generations sought
name for their new schooner, they
chose to honor pioneer automobile
manufacturer The trading schooner
was built In Edmonton. The schooner
has an auxiliary engine for use IN
bucking adverse winds.
According to r. w. Hale, district
superintendent of the postal service
at Edmonton, the owners OF the
schooner represent the best class OF
Eskimos which trade along the west
ern shores Of the Arctic ocean, send
Ing their catch Of white foxes through
the Behring straits to Seattle, Wash,
and San Francisco Calf. Many OF
them are quite well off. A great part
Of their food consists Of fish dipped
In seal oil, to give internal warmth to
Withstand the intense cold.
Unlike the Indians. these Eskimos
copy the white man only in those
things which will improve them. They
cling to their native dress, including
parkas and mukluks, which are so well
adapted to the climate that white men,
including the air pilots travelling In
the country, have adopted it.-Family

A. F. of L. Against Congress
of Pan American Labor Now

Washington, d. c. ILNS)--The
possibility of holding the sixth con-
gress of the Pan American Federation
of Labor in the near future was dis
cussed at the recent meeting of the
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor. The Mexican
Federation of Labor and other la
Dor organizations from South and
Central America had suggested hold
ing of the congress this year.
After considering the financial sit
uation not only of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor but of the Pan
American Federation of Labor and
the labor centers affiliated to it, it
was the unanimous opinion of the
executive council that the congress
could not be held until conditions i'm
prove.

Dispensers International Alliance,
for their great service to humanity,
1t was a service of love free from
any emolument or personal gain.
A word may also be said for the
international Labor News Service
and its editor, Chester NJ. Wright.
Brohter Wright and the News Serv-
ice that he so ably represents, did
much to keep the modification and
repeal movement constantly before
the workers of America. Through it's
editorials and news item, it steadily
moulded together a ramifcation of
opinions into one concrete conclusion
and brought labor to the polls last
November and to the halls of con-
gress later, a solid unit for modifca-
tion and repeal. 1t is manifestation
Of the great value that the Interna-
tional Labor News Service is to the
labor movement of America.
Our job is not complete! We must
not lay down our tools until we have
definitely and conslusively wiped the
eighteenth amendment out of the
constitution. That is our job!

OUTSTANDING FOE
OF Power Trust in Public
Office

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Harry
A Slattery, veteran of a dozen bat
ties in the public interest, friend OF
many trade union officials, outstand-
ing authority on conservation, has
been appointed personal assistant to
Secretary of Interior Ickss.
"Best appointment yet made" is
the general verdict, except among
the reactionaries and power inter
ests.
Harry Slattery came to Washing
ton over 25 years ago. He was pitch
ed into the Ballinger scandal-on the
side that did the pitching-under
Theodore Roosevelt.
Slattery has probably dug up more
facts and started more red hot ex-
poses of robbery of the people than
any other man in Washington.
Teapot Dome is one Of the feathers
in Slattery's cap. When International
Labor Service was blazing away at
Teapot Dome before the daily news
papers knew there was such a place,
it was Harry Slattery that was dig
ging up the dynamite. He armed
Walsh and La Toilette. He has arm
ed fighting senators on dozen other
issues.
The Irish Rebel from the South,
he's called-and he deserves the title.
No man in Washington knows so
much what's going on under the
surface, no man knows more about
who are the crooks and what is their
game. He wasn't ambitious to have
official responsibility, but anyway
! he's got it. Bad times are head for
robbers if Slattery can stay in office.

Well, those who get the tax re-

And who might that be?
Mostly the big bankers,
And their friends.
The folks who got theirs from that
80 million gift from the R. F. C.
So, sure! You bet!
To hell with the trouble makers.
Who held the money the depositors
never will get back again?
Who took the money they knew
they never could pay back again?
Who rugged the stock and bond
market for suckers to bite at?
Who sold rotten bonds to school
teachers and anybody else?
Who knew that the depression was
coming on, and never peeped?
Who skinned the cream out of
the yellow money harvest?
Who profited by the selling out of
the little fellows?
The trouble makersl
To hell with 'em
You bet
Who used 70 import cheap for
eign labor?
Thte toruble makers!
Who swore to smash organized la
Dor?
The trouble makers
Who defended child labor?
The trouble makers
Who demanded and got-machine
guns to beat labor's fight for life?
The trouble makers!
Who owned-and rewarded the
yellow dog injunction judges?
These same members of the Charley
Dawes breed-that's who!
To hell with 'em!

Strike for Increased Wages

Bamburg, S. C.--Approximately 200
employees, men and women, of the
Bamburg branch of the Santee Mills
struck when the management refused
Is per cent increase in wages.
A committee of the strikers stated

ment regarding the strike. Evident
ly he had not heard Of President

BY Mr.. MOdestus-

ITO hell with the trouble makersp
So said General He'll n Maria Ban
ker Charles G. Dawes one day.
Of course, he was provoked.
An impudent school teacher had
mentioned the R. F. C.'s loan to his
bank
That little loan of 80 millions
And after he had left the R. F. C.
as chairman, too!
Another teacher-probably a red
headed one
She suggested a connection between
Dawes and insults cheating
Before insult decamped for the
classic shores of modern Greece.
Now, if the general had only said
something original
But the teachers said it first,
Thousands Of them!
America is getting ready to say it
with
Well, who knows what they are
going to say it with?
ITO hell with the trouble makers!"
When they have really made up
their minds
Who the trouble makers are.
General: you'd be surprised
Did the teachers make the trouble?
Teaching Chicagos children for
months without pay
Did the union labor men make trou-
Bile?
Taking wage cuts quietly-and
other bitter medicine?
Did the bank depositors make trou-
BILE?
Taking their losses, while govern
men r. F. c. fed the big banks
Who made the trouble, anyway?
Whoever made it, it came from un-
paid taxes.
And who is supposed to pay the
taxes?
