SERIAL STORY WINS
NEW SUBSCRIBER

BY a New Subscriber.
I subscribed to your paper when
the story, THE Amateur Gentle
man." was started.
I wonder if the rest of your read
ers enjoy this delightful story as
much as /?
Whose excellent idea was it to
make a serial story of this better
class of literature? For years have
been reading the first chapter of
every serial in the hope of getting
a good story and ignoring the rest
as mere trash. In THE Amateur
Gentlemen" the reader, whether of
the working class, or of the higher
intelligentsia, has bit of romance,
bit of adventure, and bit of his
tory rolled into a patty-cake called
a novel, to be enjoyed by all.
The idea must have been con-
cocted by one with much foresight.
A toast to the clever individual, or
individuals, whose idea it was to put
THE Amateur Gentleman" into
print.

PRAISES THE TIMES
FOR STRIKE POLICY.

BY Fair Play.
The working people look in vain
in the other indianapolis papers for
light on the strikers side in the
hosiery mill dispute, but they are
getting some of the real dope in
The Times Message Center. Why
don't we see letters like these in
the other papers? Won't they print
them?
The mills and other employers are
able to pay for big ads in the pa
pers to tell their side, but We have
to look in the Message Center for
the strikers side.
The working people do not ap-
preciate The Times as they should,
or it would have by far the largest
circulation, and they would bring
it the advertising, as the merchants
want the working peoples support
and money.

TWO STRIKERS-AND
PROUD OF 1T

BY a Looper.
Here is a word to the seamer who
gives herself the status of gold
digger
If you would go to a meeting of
the strikers you would learn some
thing.
No one expects the knitters will
make 500 a week, although it has
been done in other plants. They will
be able to support a home that any
woman should be proud to live in.
It might be we'll to remember
no self-respecting union man wants
"a scab' or a golddigger for a wife,
SO you may as we'll take that out of
the ring.
I have been a looper for seven
years and I married a knitter who
never made anything near 500 a
week. We are both strikers and
proud of it.

BY NJ, r.,
I never have written to The
Message Center before and I am
not going to dare you to print
this, for I don't think it is neces-
Sary. Your fair deal to every one
is one of the reasons why I've
taken The Times for about fifteen
years.
In answer to Mrs. Randi Aamot'S
letter of May 3, I am with her
100 per cent.
I wish there were about one
hundred million more like her. Mr..
Davis talks about freedom, liberty,
justice and human rights. I
wonder if he ever stood in the
relief lines begging for help for
five half-fed, half-naked children.
OF course not.
Every time a working man goes
to the polls to vote for such a
system as we have under capt.
talism it only proves that he is
dumber than a dumb animal.
The animals have had their
living supplied and they live. God
in his great love has supplied
every need of the human family.
He put his own image far above
any animal. Yet we prove to be
dumber than they for we StarYe
and suffer amid plenty. Why?
Because we keep on voting for
a bunch of political thieves who
represent the grab and hold con-
Germs, privately owned, which
steal the fruit of your labor and
call you idiots in return. They
are not missing it far, either. 1t
is worse than idiotic. They're a
bunch of parasites, slowly sucking
the life's blood out of you and

your children and you give your
consent freely.
When will you ever wake up?
Talk about cultural refinement
and Christian religion! Read the
fifth chapter of James if you
want a better picture of them.
And they call John Dillinger a
rat. Thank the Lord, j. D. will
get an honest judgment some
day.
They say that socialism is anti
Christian. Then what is Chris
tianity? Is the capitalistic sys-
tenn of high profits, vast for
tunes, low wages and high cost
of living, which in turn causes
bank robberies, murders, broken
families and homes, starvation
and, worse yet, bitterness, hatred,
envy, strife and malice, the way
to live?
God help up to see differently.
Christian fellowship, brotherly
love, sharing each others bur-
dens, and making the other fell
lows life brighter have never yet
produced conditions like these we
now have, and never will. Well
have to get back to honesty with
each other and seek leadership
from a higher power than man.
The capitalistic system won't al
low it.
The right to live will help to
destroy the desire to steal, and
we'll have fewer Dillingers. Re
lief lines will be done, shack towns
will disappear and helpless hun
CRY will be fed.
Let's all fight legally for the
right to life. Many persons will
laugh at this, but unless the sys-
tenn is soon changed America, the
most wonderful land on earth, is
doomed.

TWO MORE DEFEND
JOHN DILLINGER

BY L. X. and i. G.
We are writing this in response to
j. BIS letter in this column.
We agree with Mrs. Burkert mas
much as we think there are many
white collar and tie men, probably
J. B. is one of them, that are do
ing more wrong things and robbing
more from the people of our state
than John Dillinger has. Every
thing that has been done lately is
blamed on Dillinger. Maybe j. B.
does want him to be caught, but
am one who doesn't. I wonder how
J. B. knows so much?
We wonder if this hunted man
were j. BIS son, if he would think
the way he does. Yet, he is some
body's son.

CHARTER MEMBER OF
E. NJ. B. A. LAUDS GROUP

By f. VI. Martin.
There is a lot being said about
Real. Silk and the E. NJ. 3. A. Be
ing a charter member of this asSo-
citation I feel 1 should raise a voice
against statements which are being
put before the public.
We have an association which has
kept us working in peace and har-
mony for twelve years, with all the
advantages and none of the disad-
vantages, such as high dues and
strikes as in a labor union.
consider this strike a case of
poor craftsmanship on the part of
the participants After a fair cleo
ton last fall if those on strike had
have been good sports they would
have abided by the wishes of the
ma jority. No one can say truth
fully any question, large or small,
which has been brought before the
E. M. B. A, but what has had fair
trial and settlement.
The greater number Of those who
are wearing out shoe leather in
picketing do not really know what
what it is all about. Union in
fluence has done more TO bring
them into the union ranks than any
desire for a union.
The company has given steady
work through the years of the de-
preston even when it could i'll af-
ford to keep the mills running
steadily and now that the skies are
a little brighter the union would
have us bite the hand that has teen
! feeding us through the lean years.

KENTUCKIAN WRITES
ABOUT HOSIERY STRIKE

BY Kentucky Real "Silker.'
Yes. strikers, we Kentuckians are
ignorant and know that you boys
should have taken better care Of
your Kentucky striker. Maybe he
wouldn't have been arrested. Poor
fellow, he didn't know he should
not be too tough, and the police
got him.
Your boarding room girl sure
knows her stuff. She is out with
you: she needs more money; $12 a
week isn't enough for her. 1t is
known that she has made as high
as 90 cents an hour. 1 don't know
what she wants. Kentucky should
be proud of her.
Come on, strikers. Give your
wives a break. Get them out of the
mill while you are striking after
all the rotten breaks you knitters
got in there. I think you would be
afraid for your wives to work there.
Don't let the girl strikers get them.
If you can't live without your
wifes support, you had better let
the union keep you and when you
get your 500 a week jobs, your
wives won't have to work.

All Of those persons who have ideas

his life as a boy in a small town.

DANDELIONS
BY ARCHER SHIRLEY

A shining yellow mass
OF fairy casks that nod to me
A welcome as I pass.
A golden blanket could not be
More beautiful than they;
A leap of foam from out the sea
Would not be half so gay.
Gold on green, they stand in grass
That meets each sunny head;
My heart is saddened when they
pass
When dandelions are dead.

Yesterday, in a personal can.
vass of prominent bankers assem-
bled here in the American Bank
ers Association convention, the
following questions were proposed:
Should the present banking legis
lation be changed in the next
session of Congress, and if so.
how? Should the Federal Re.
serve Board be divorced from
politics? What is the pest form
Of Federal taxation?
AS President Roosevelt said to
the convention on Wednesday
night. Il have found there is a
striking lack of unanimity of
opinion among bankers that char
acterizes many other groups in
the country" so the answers to
these questions varied.
There were two schools of
thought evidenced in the answers
to the first question, whether the
existing banking legislation should
be changed in the approaching
session Of Congress. The first
group said no, there was no use
changing the present laws, as rep
resented by the banking act of
1888, until international monetary
affairs are clarified and until the
gold content of the dollar is stabil-
lied. These men think that the
less legislation now the better, be-
cause what was done would only
have to be undone.
Should Be Changed
The other side of the question
was represented thus: Certainly
the banking act of 1888 should be
changed and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation should and
undoubtedly will not be passed as
1t stands.
These men believe that the
Bulkley bill, which was reported on
the Senate floor last June but was
lost in the adjournment jam and
which contained numerous amend
ments to the Federal Reserve act
and to the Glass-Steagall bill,
would be reintroduced in the COM
ing congressional session.
This they said, should be
passed, provided the notifications
and amendments are sound.
They agreed that adequate time
was vital factor in assembling
this omnibus bill, as much of the
fault with the present legislation
lay in the speed with which it
had been put through Congress.
The second question was,
whether the Federal Reserve
Board should be divorced from
politics. Except for one man, the
bankers conceded that any central
banking system should be removed
as far as possible from all political
influence.
They said the stocks of such
park should be owned by the peo-
pie and that the board of direc-

And what if they are not, he
went on to say, perhaps we shall

where an unwritten, gentleman'S
agreement exists between the
government and the Bank of
England and where the former
specifically does not interfere
with private loans.

To NEGOTIATE

BERLIN, June %. (UP) - The
German government today accept
ed Great Britains invitation to
send a delegate to London in an
effort to avert the trade war
threatened July /, when Germany
is to impose a moratorium on
foreign debt payments.
Great Britain announced that 1t
would impose a clearing house to
seize German credits in sufficient
value, if possible, to meet services
on German gilt-edged securities,
but it offered to negotiate.
Germany announced it might
retaliate by barring imports from
the entire British Empire-a move
that would penalize the domin-
ions. Britain has an unfayorable
trade balance with Germany. Those
of the dominions, which are sep
arate units for trade purposes,
are heavily in their favor
Germany'a acceptance OF the
offer to negotiate came less than
"A hours after publication in Lon
don of an exchange of moratorium
notes. Germany's note expressed
willingness to discuss the entire
German situation.
Britain responded with a sew
erely critical note, but invited
Germany to send an accredited
