United Front in Maine

PORTLAND, Me, Dec. 6. - The
united front between Socialists and
Communists has been effected at
joint meeting Of members of the
Socialist Party branch and the
Communist Party unit called fo1
this specific purpose.
The meeting unanimously voted
to establish united front in all
fields of struggle after hearing Ned
Sparks, district organizer of the
Communist Party. and Frank H
Maxfeld, state secretary of the So
cialist Party, speak on the necessity
Of united action against unemploy-
ment, wage cuts, fascism and war

democracy no longer suits its pur-
pose, it will unhesitatingly throw

of fascism.
The meeting unanimously en-
dorsed the National Congress for
Unemployment and Social Insur-
snce and elected a special Joint
committee to visit the unions, OBJ
tain endorsements for the Work
ers Unemployment Insurance Bill
and secure the election of dele
gates to the congress.
A general united front committee
was set up with equal representa-
ton Of Socialists and Communists

member of the Paving Cutters
Union of Rockland, Maine, who is
being held for deportation, as well
as other cases. Besides organizing
a campaign for the defense of civil
rights, the committee will also plan
joint actions against the cutting of
relief Of the unemployed workers
and all other phases of the struggle.
The united front in Portland
comes as the fruit of a long period
during which united-front actions
have been carried out from time
to time. The May Day demonstra-
tons, both Of 1888 and 1894, were
united front demonstrations. The
experience Of the Socialists in the
past period has convinced them
that complete united front with the
Communists is both possible and
necessary.

Continuing the note of fascist i'm.
plication which has been sounded
again and again during the four
days Of the convention, as the spec
tire Of rising mass actions lowered
over the proceedings, Roper said:
Democracy needs its strong
man as much or even more than
autocracy or dictatorship. It
needs man strong enough to
combat the inequity of special
privilege and of class agita-
ton.
In brutal contrast with his pro-
poSals for slashed relief, Roper

Boosting of the following profits:

During November, seventy-five
corporations passed nearly 43,OOO,-
600 in dividends above the rates
previously prevailing. More than
$S4,000,OO0 Of this went through the
extra dividend route. The earnings
of over 500 of our leading corpora
tons increased almost 200 per cent

months in 1888"

They provide for the open shop,

They are coming here in order

LENINGRAD, Dec. 6 (By Wireless)
The town is in mourning. The
plants, streets, trolley-cars. autos
are draped in black crepe and
mourning bands are tied to sleevs of
coats. The impress of somberness
still fingers on the faces of those
who accompanied their leader and
friend on his last journey in the
night two days ago.
The town is in mourning. but
there is no confusion. Hatred to-
ward their enemies, the will to
struggle to victory, is burning IN
the eyes of every Leningrad worker.
"Kirov is no longer with us. Let us
work then in Kirov's way" These
words are resounding with special
force at all workers meetings. All
the factories of the town are elect
ing the best of their best workers
to attend Kirov's funeral today in
Morrow.
The Leningrad workers have met
with particular satisfaction the re-
port regarding the handing over of
the group of White Guard terrorists
to the Military Collegium of the
Supreme Court, also the govern
ment's decision mercilessly and i'm
mediately to punish the peoples
enemies.

pastels In our jewelry to make
color harmony.
Just recently some stunning
costume jewelry has come out
in multi-color effects. It seems
to run to two types, the rather
sports-ike and vivid kind, often
made of small beads in odd ef-
feet, or Of larger beads in sim
pie effects. And the other kind
is in delicate flower colors, pas
tells, and in equally dainty flow
er shapes.
But whatever jewelry you
buy, remember that the first
rule is to have your costume in
mind. OF course, if you have
several simple white dresses, it's
easy to buy one or two ''sets" Of
costume jewelry to go with
them all.
Or, If you're going in for
sweet organizes in pastelS, with
perhaps q cool chiffon for din
ner, you can also get something
effective in the way Of jewelry

Creighton.

Butler university meters, cham
pions of the Missouri Valley confer
ence in 1898, took undisputed lead
ership of the 1884 race when they
trounced Creighton's fast quintet
of Omaha, 1890, in the local field
house Saturday.
Remarkable basket shooting by
Bert Davis, Bulldog veteran, who
scored seven field goals and three
foul line shots for a 17-point total,
and Roscoe Bats, Butler sophomore
who fired in five field baskets, fea-
tured the Butler attack.
The invaders offered a great bat
tie the first half and were out in
front a couple of times. Creighton
came from behind once, 1875, to
lead, 1912, but expert foul line
tossing by Butler enabled the locals
to get out in front, 1915, at half
time.
Creighton rallied in the last half
and for time things did not look
so good for the Bulldogs, but Da-
Wis and Bats got their eyes on the
basket again and rained in field
goals from all angles.
Butler once connected in four of
five attempts at the hoop, which
put Creighton clear out of the run
ming. Creighton finished second in

The rebellion against the high
priests of the Garden appears to be
complete. Their administration has
been neither wise nor wholesome.
Their losses have been heavy, both
in caste and currency. Most of the
star fighters prefer to fight else
where, and for less money. Their
bitterness is deep-rooted.
The time has come, I believe, for
the Garden to do one or two things:
Either get into the fight game or
get out of it. The present situation
is detrimental to all concerned, in
Guiding the customers. The Gus
toners should not be compelled to
row down the narroWs to see a fight
on a barge that rightfully belongs
in comfortable, commodouS arena
built for fights. In time the Gus
toners may decide to stay away
from the Garden altogether. They
are a brave lot, but they can be
bounced around only so long.
