Your Home Town
Newspaper

The value of your local newspaper
to the success of your business cannot
be Overestimated. It's worth all the
support and cooperation you can give
it. For the newspaper is mirror re-
flecting the life of the community in
which you and your store have an i'm
pOrtant part. Your advertisement is
the reflection of your store in the
mirror. Everybody sees it there. If
it is not there, the mirror is dark where
your store should be. You are there,
but you cannot be seen. Your store
is open for business as usual, but
out of sight, out of mind To keep
in step with the progress of the COM
munity, to get your share of business,
you must advertise regularly. Estab-
lish an advertising budget. Plan
regular schedule for your advertise
ment. It's a policy that is followed
by the most successful stores in COM
munities with a town paper; it's an
idea that will be profitable for you.

Meaning of Tories"

In this country. before and during
the Revolution, the name Tory was
applied to anyone suspected of having
loyalist sympathies, as opposed to In
dependence. The name is believed to
have been derived from the Celtic Tar
a RI" signifying Come o King" a
call familiar to the Irish loyalists who
fought for Charles / of England, and
later for James IL For about two cen.
turtles it was the name of one of the
great English political parties, becom-
ing gradually identified with a policy
of opposition to change.

TOR the time being the danger of
European war arising from the Aus
trian Socialist rebellion is over. Great
Britain, France and Italy have united
to safeguard Austria's independence,
and while that holds no other nation
dare attack. Long conversations were
held In Paris by British Ambassador
Lord Tyrrell. Premier Doumergue, For
eign Minister Louis Barthou, Capt. An
thony Eden, British lord privy seal,
and representatives Of Italy. and the
outcome was this statement to the
world:
1.-THE Austrian government has in
quired of the governments Of France,
Great Britain and Italy as to their at
titude with regard to dossier which
It prepared with view Of establishing
German interference in the internal
affairs of Austria and communicated
to them. The conversations which
have taken place between the three
governments on this subject have
shown they take common view as to
the necessity Of maintaining Austria's
independence and integrity in accord
ance with the relevant treaties"
This announcement was proposed
by Premier Mussolini, who seeks to
keep Austria intact as buffer state
between Naziism and Fascism. 1t is,
of course, directed to Hitler, who
hopes that the government of Chancel-
Tor Dollfuss may be overthrown, If not
by force, then In elections. In that
case Hitler believes the Austrian Nazis
could gain control Of the country and
bring about the long cherished idea of
a political union with Germany. The
recent Socialist rebellion was seen as
an aid to the Nazis since the govern
ment, In suppressing it and wiping out
the Socialist party, did what the Nazis
would have had to do in event of
their winning. Hitler declared that
the Austrian workmen would now rally
TO the NaZi banner.
Chancellor Dollfuss declares that
the number of fatalities in the revolt
was greatly exaggerated, and puts 1t
at only pa. Correspondents on the
spot still insist that the dead num-
bered between 1000 and 1.50O, and
refugees in Czechoslovakia said at
least $500 were killed. Dollfuss and
Vice Chancellor Fey publicly deplored
the casualties but defended warmly
the action OF the troops and the heinz
wehr. Fey was decorated for his
work in fighting the rebels.

TEEN by his heroism during the World
war and his Just government of his
people
Albert is succeeded by Crown Prince
Leopold, duke Of Brabant, his eldest
son. Leopold is thirty-two years old
and was married in 1926 to Princess
Astrid of Sweden. They have daugh-
ter and a son. The new ruler was
probably one Of the youngest soldiers
In the World war, enlisting as pri-
vate when he was thirteen years old.
He was treated as an ordinary soldier,
seeing active service in the trenches,
and was sergeant when the armistice
was signed. His coronation was set
for February %. the day following the
late kings funeral.
King Albert was the third of his
line He was born in 1875 and as
cended the throne in 1909. Through
out the war he was one Of the most
active members of the Belgian army,
continually at the front to help his
troops and often in imminent danger
of death. After the armistice he got
the task of reconstruction yell under
way and then, with Queen Elizabeth
and Prince Leopold, took journeys to
the United States, England, France,
Spain, Brazil and other countries to
study trade conditions and find new
outlets for Belgian products.
Leopold, a Catholic like his father,
was carefully educated and trained
for his duties as ruler. Queen Astrid
is a niece of King Gustav of Sweden.
A Protestant at the time of her mar

without the millions Of probe

be no proletarian revolution.
Lenfn.
The initial responsibility for Or
ganizing the working women, lies
with the class conscious WORKING
men. 1t is not a 'woman's job"
in any sense of the word. In our
homes, the breaking down of the
boss created role Of women, can
only start as we understand the
feminist handling of this problem.
In the shops, the same is true and
still more important.
It is the purpose of the writer to
show BY example that working class
women not only are the allies of
the working class revolution but
also are front rank fighters turn
ing the tide in many instances.
On the Austrian Barricades
Austria, 1884. The heroic socialist
fighters could not have held out
on the barricades and in the Karl
MarXhof for the time they did had
1t not been for the heroism Of their
women The boss papers admit
this. The working class women of
Vienna, Steyre, Linz, etc., went on
the barricades with the men. They
did not weaken the fighters with
fears for their safety but stood with
them shoulder to shoulder. Women
were among the dead. Rifles were
in their hands. No more positive
answer to the socialist and A. F.
Of L. leaders in their slanderous at
titude towards women could be
given.
They Stay on the Picket Lines
In the heroic fights of the past
two years among the Illinois miners,
their wives played an important
part. The auxiliiaries of the Pro-
gresSive Miners of America have
made working class history. The
women were among the fighters
that drove the corrupt q. M. w. A.
leadership out of the field. They
turned the tide in many mine
by picketing in defiance Of brutal
terror. Today the officials of the
P. M. A. are trying the kill the
spirit and organization achieved by
these women. For good reason. The
women do not stop at this time.
Wives and Mothers
At the National Unemployed
Convention, among the many
speakers, large number Of women
reported. These women were the
actual leaders of many fights in
the sections from which they came.
Women told Of the mobilization of
working class wives and mothers
for struggles that were hard and
bitter. Fights against evictions, in
the schools for relief, etc.
Remember the nut pickers strike
in st. Louis? These Negro women
have given actual impetus to the
class fight in that section. At the
state A. F. of L. convention, boss
papers reported that Communist
delegates kept demanding that we

did" There was not single dele

March 8, International Wonaen's
Day, finds the American working
class women suffering untold misery
under the N. r. A. Of the Roosevelt
administration On March 4, 1888,
President Roosevelt took control Of
the U. s. government. Millions Of
women who had voted and helped
elect him really though that Roose-
Velt would make good his election
compaign promises THAT not man,
woman or child would starve under
his administration" They especially
welcomed the fact that in Roosevelt's
Cabinet at the head of the Depart
ment Of Labor woman, a humans
TARTAN" liberal" Miss Frances Per-
kins, was chosen. Surely this lady
would help the Forgotten Women"
They void get work. Sweatshops
would be abolished. Wages would
rise. Killing speed-up would elimin-
ated. Such was the hope Of the
women
Now one year after Roosevelt and
Perkins have had the run OF things
we can readily see that Roosevelt
lied. The q. s. Government Is not
interested in improving the lot OF
the workers. 1t is now preparing
feverishly for war, spending billions
Of dollars in building an army, navy
and air feet; while at the same
time it refuses to appropriate any

False Promises
The promises made by Roosevelt
have not been carried out. Starva-
ton has not been abolished. Con-
ditions Of the Negro and white
working and farm women have be-
come worse.
The New Deal proved q raw deal
for the workers. Outstanding in the
New Deal was the N. r. A. This
program, intended to save big bust
ness at the expense of the workers,
was heralded by Miss Perkins, Will
lam Green, Norman Thomas and
Rose Schneiderman of the A. F. Of
l.. and the Socialist Party, as a
savior" for the workers. They and
many more traitors of the working
class joined in chorus praising the
N. r. A. The purpose was to create
false hopes among the workers, to
divert them from struggles against
starvation and to lower further their
standards Of living.
Not since the world war has there
been such a vicious drive by the
government against the workers. An
actual war mobilization Of all in
dustries under government control.
In this drive the government hit
hardest the weakest and most ex-
plotted section of the working class.
The women came in for the greatest
share of misery under the n. r. A.
Women have always been oiscrimin-
ated against in the way Of wages
and jobs. However. the Industrial
Codes gave the governments official
