WASHINGTON. N. H, March is.
Uniting on the issue Of wages to
be paid for government work on the
roads, the small farmers here and
the workers on the roads over
whelmingly voted themselves an in
crease of so cents day labor on
the roads. This will bring their pay
to $3.50 day. The decision will
have to be put into effect, and will
affect many Of the jobless workers
and farmers in this neighborhood.
They also voted to prevent the
town select men from selling any of
the homes and farms that have been
seized for tax delinquencies without
a majority of the townspeople. This
is considerable victory for the
majority of the population here.

To achieve self government in
industry" the polite name for open
economic dictatorship by the biggest
American capitalists, the fascist
Swope-Johnson plan lays down a
ten-point program. The National
Recovery Administration is now be-
ing reshaped to fit two of the most
fundamental, as we'll as others, Of
these ten points.
One of the two vital points is the
creation of National Chamber Of
Commerce and Industry to rule,
czsrlike. the production and distrib-
ution Of American goods The other
is the granting of full control of
carrying out the dictates of this
National Chamber Of Commerce and
Industry in the hands of the N. R.
A. Code Authorities.
Swope's description of his plan be-
fore the Commerce Department S
Business Advisory and Planning
Council publicly announced last
November 1, contained the state
ment that his proposed National
Chamber of Commerce and Industry
would be in position of respon-
sibility. lie, authority.-M. VI"
TT could speak and act for COM
merce and industry on legislative
problems" the Swope statement
says, ION questions of finance and
transportation, and work out
nationally better methods of pro-
noting and maintaining good and
continuous relations with employees
and consider with their representa-
tives plans that will promote greater
weiIbeing and security for them"
Don't forget = General johnson,
Unidentified co-author of the plan,
told the press, that November after
noon. that this plan "of course"
would outlaw strikes. Don't forget
Pierre S. du Pont, the munitions
and chemicals mogul, told the in
dustrialists' meeting. last week, they
adopted "the plan" for develop
ment of the N. R. A. last December.
Legalizing Company Unions
And don't forget that, as the first
article in this series explained, a
new drive is now under way to
legalize company-unionism under
the N r, A. Since the meeting,
johnson has told the press that he
intends to clean up" those company
unions that are illegal" Which
simply means that steps will be
taken forthwith to dress up thu
same old coercion Of workers into
company dominated unions. In
some eases these company unions
may be turned over to the A. F. of
L. leadership; in others, they will
= be whitewashed and continued I'M
der the fraudulent name of Gin
dependent" unions. In any case
they will be nothing more nor less
than the mould in which the first
bosses Of American capitalism pro-
pose to fascize worker-organiza lions
In the United States; they will be
fought Immediately, continuously,
by every classconscious worker and
By thousands who will not be hood
winked by the new demagogy.

up the shop problems from a trade
union angle and not from the view
point of politicizing our work in
the factory and thereby the nucleus
becoming the political leader in the
given factory. The combination of
these two factors, is the reason why
so many factory nuclei are Just
merely a duplicate of our trade
union fraction. OF course where the
Section Committee gives special at
tentlon and where the factory unit
itself is determined to approach shop
work in a more political way, even
our comrades working in the trade
union apparatus become involved in
helping the factory nucleus carry on
It's work in a more political way.
This determination on the part of
the nucleus is bound to give better
results in bringing the face of the
Party before the workers in the fac
tory and is a. factor in drawing in
our comrades in the trade union
more into the work of the factory
nuclei.
IN SECTION - a certain factory
nucleus did not get the necessary
cooperation of the comrades in the
trade union apparatus. They were
told by certain of the latter men
toned comrades that that particular
place was good place for Party
concentration, but not for trade
union concentration. This in spite
of the fact that the place under dis
cussion is connected with the war
industry in very important sense.
But the nucleus went ahead and
carried on its work as best as it
knew how. In a short period of
time the nucleus organized about 20
workers into trade union opposi-
ton group in the particular plant.

And ten the horn went, "Toot, toot, toot!" You should have seen the Tinies scoot. "Ill not take any chances" yelled wee Duncy with a frown. &<~ .....
 "I see the great big tiger, now, and I will get away, somehow. Why, if he'd lean against me with his paws, he'd knock me down.
 The other Tinies also ran. Hey. climb a tree, tots if you can" yelled Scouty. 'I'll help Dotty and wee Goldy keep from sight" The tiger stood and looked around and then was off, in one big bound. Twas running after Duncy, who, by now, was filled with fright.
 The funny hunter laughed in glee. The bunch soon will find out, thought he, that I control the wild beasts and can make them whine and prance.
 Real shortly to the tiger he cried out, Bring Duncy back to me-" The beast, with one nip, grabbed poor little Duncy by the pants.

Once more the old man blew his horn, and shouted, Sure as am born, you Tinies are big babies. Why, you all looked scared to death.
 T told you there was naught to fear, and then I brought a leopard here. As soon as 1t came into sight, you seemed to lose your breath.
 "Now, am going to blow again. A tiger will appear. and then I'll let all of you pet him. He will be friendly sort.
 "Please do not try to run away. 'cause, if you do, twill spoil my day. Now that I've found you tots, I'm looking forward to some sport.

WESTMORLAND AMBITIOUS

Better luck this time is our wish for
Westmorland, which once thought it had
city status, only to have the thought
Knocked into cooked hat by court decis-
ion.
The desire to be recognized as city
is a laudable one, and Westmorland is
growing so rapidly that it really is en-
titled to the title and distinction
A petition signed by 80 Westmorland
citizens has been presented to the board
Of supervisors, asking for the calling of
a special election to permit citizens of
Westmorland to vote on the question. A
hearing on the petition is to be held May
10, at which time pros" and cons will
be given an opportunity to express them
selves.
A little bird" hints that Tom Han
cock is hot and heavy for the incorpora-
tion so that he can sign himself "city ed
ltor of the Westmorland Mail" In ad-
dition to other good reasons, that ought
to clinch the matter. A loyal booster
like Tom ought to get what he wants.
Having decided that persons owning
gold and silver are outlaws, the govern
ment should do something about those
with too much brass.

their friends visit Mexico in May a
native fiesta is to be staged on
Cocoanut Island, off the coast OF
Mazatlan, in their honor when they
reach that seaport on the return
tip. This is announced by Potentate
Everett Mattoon, following receipt
of advice from Mexico City.
A deep sea fishing expedition will
be arranged at the same port for
fez wearerS and their associates, 1T

here by Mr.. j. w. Donohue, district
agent.
Potentate Mattoon is heading the
delegation of Shriners on the Sou
thern Pacific special leaving Los
Angeles May 6, and members of

director, to invite non-Shriners and
their families to participate in this
land cruise of Old Mexico.
At Mexico City General Abelardo
Rodriguez, president of Mexico, is

TUGWELL LAUGHS LAST


Professor Writ and others may yowl
to high heaven about the "radicalism" of
DR.. ReXford Tugwell, alleged to be the
chief of the brain trusters" and head of
the red plot which Professor Writ dug
up, but DR.. Tugwell can laugh it all off
and enjoy himself
Instead of being bounced out of office
as those making charges of radicalism
hoped he would be- he has been promot-
ed. The promotion, coming at the in
stigation of President Roosevelt, is vim
dication enough, but there is additional
pleasure in it for DR.. Tugwel as he gets
a fine increase in pay.
As an assistant secretary in the de-
partment of agriculture, the doctor has
been receiving salary of $4,000 a year.
President Roosevelt promoted him to the
post of undersecretary of the same de-
partment, which carries a salary of
$4,000 annually.
Topping off this good news for DR..
Tugwell is the report from Washington
that the special committee of the house
appointed to investigate Professor Wirt's
charges, will inform congress that the
Indiana school official has failed to sub
Stantiate his allegations
DR.. Tugwell can appreciate to the full
est extent the old quotation about laugh
ing last.

Mr.. Longears to ask her if she
would give them to him.
"She says she WILL" Uncle Wig
gily reported back to the bug, who,
being very little, could not see over
the fence.
Then go get all the artificial
believe flowers you can from
Mrs. Twistytail and bring them back
here" advised the bug. Then will
work my magic"
THAT will be fine" said Uncle
Wiggily. Quickly he hoped to the
pen house where Mrs. Twistytail
lived and the lady pig gave him
big bunch of artificial flowers off
her old hats. These Mr.. Longears
took back to his garden where Red
Bug awaited him.
What net?" asked the rabbit
stick these paper and cloth flow
ers in your garden" buzzed the bug.
"They will look as if they had
sprung up from the seeds and were
growing there. Then you can call
your wife out here and pick her
some of the blossoms.
"Oh, but that will never dol" said
Uncle Wiggily. There is no magic
in that. My wife will know, right
away, that there aren't real flow
ers. They have no perfume SMELL
"Ah, that is where my magic
comes inl" buzzed the bug. With
that he began flying over the flow
ers which, by this time, Uncle Wig
gily had planted in the brown earth
sticking in the wire stems. And as
he flew the bug magician sprayed
sweet perfume over the flowers SO
that they smelled like real ones.
Now call your wife, Uncle Wig
gily, and pick the flowers" said
the bug. And when he had had
good laugh, the rabbit gentleman
did this. He picked red, blue, yellow
and purple flowers for his wife, who
was so surprised when she smelled
them, first thinking them real, that
she laughed too.
1T was a good little magic trick,
Wiggy,' said his wife. For a mo-
ment I thought the seeds you plant
ed yesterday had turned into flow
ers today. But the blossoms are
only perfumed artificial ones. Yet,
it was a good trick Mr.. Longears
thought so himself. And if the clock
will shake hands with the foot of
the stairs, I'll tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily and the red bird.

do YOU know where father is?"
Jen asked of her step-mother as she
finished tidying up the kitchen af-
ter breakfast.
Land only knows" Cora said
fretfully, "he may be in ToguS for
all I know!'
Jen realized that she should have
known better than to ask Cora.
Cora never gave much satisfaction
to anyone. Always fretful and peev-
ish.
I'll find him." Jen said.
Not that she had anything in par
ticular she wanted to say. She simp-
ly felt like talking with him. She
often felt that way And SO did her
father. They got along well-those
two. They were comfort to each
other.
Jen went out into the yard. Down
by the barn she spied her father.
He was busy shoeing a horse. She
took several deep breaths of the fine
morning air and walked along in
his direction.
Hello, Jen,' Mark said as he saw
her approaching.
Hello, father!"
Mark looked up for a second and
sensing she had nothing in parti-
cular on her mind, turned back to
his work.
"Fine morning, isn't it, father.
Fine! It'll help the tomatoes -

There was a brief silence. Jen sat
down on the old emery wheel.

back fence of his hollow stump bum

What do you see?" asked the red
magic bug.
Il see Mrs. Twistytail, the lady
pig, waddling along" answered the
rabbit gentleman. He was rather
disappointed, for, after what the
red bug had said about going to do
some magic, the bunny gentleman
certainly did expect something more
than just Mrs. Twistytail.
"'What has she on her head?"
asked the red bug, for Uncle Wig
gily was still looking over the fence.
Why, hat of course" answered
Mr.. Longears.
And what is on her hat?" asked
the bug, almost like the Lady Mouse
Teacher in the Hollow Stump
School.
why, Mrs. Twistytail has flowers
on her hat said the bunny gen.
tleman.
Flowers, so early in the year?"
asked the red bug. How can that
be when there are no flowers in
your garden, anxious as you are for
them? How can it be?"
"Ha! Hal Hal" laughed Uncle
Wiggily. Don't you know, Mr.. Red
