YIN YIN bGn0 HNbiNS 0SNiG
RUSSIA, by corliss Lamont. Pub
Iished by the Friends of the So
Wet Union. 3 cents, at the Work.
ers Bookshop, 1915 list Ave.
For cents you can have in an
hours reading the shortest, clear
est, most reliable. and most inter-
esting short story of the develop
ment and achievements of Soviet
Russia that has ever been written.
It is right up to date. 1t not only
answers most of the general ques-
tions that workers ask about Russia
but 1t also answers all the bour-
geois criticisms that are made
against the Soviets. 1t tells in the
most interesting way of the terrible
invasions of Russia by the Euro
pean nations from 1917 to 1922 to
try to break down the Bolshevik
victories; it tells of their defeat
by the workers, of the Soviets'
great efforts for peace, the almost
unbelievable speed of industrializa-
ton and collectiviZation of agri-
culture, the great speed of educa-
ton, the liberation of women and
the challenge to the world of the
only country that is giving jobs
peace, and plenty to all it's people
There isn't a worker that won't
enjoy reading this pamphlet. There
isn't anyone that can afford to miss
reading it, when so much vital truth
can be had for three cents.

Phil Davis
They were young and strong.
Since this was SO Nicaragua had
need of them. They had been born
in Leon. a few months apart, had
gone together TO the public school
where they had learned the first
letters after a fashion. and later
entered as apprentices the dark
workshop of an old provincial cab
met maker. leaving there the best
parts of their boyhood years.
When they came in contact with
the Army OF Liberation. little per-
suasion was necessary to make
them. Enlist. Great was the faith
they brought, and great was the
enthusiasm that burned in their
eyes, on their lips, in their tumul-
tuous and optimistic words.
They read the inflexible, undevi-
ating regulations, and with their
arms stretched out to space, they
swore the irrevocable oath-"Lib-
erty or death!"
who feels himself strong and
capable enough to bear this note to
its destination" the general had
asked the Srd company.
First one, then the other, both
took one step forward from the
| lines.
I'VE do, sir"
VERY well, boys. You must not
give this up except with your lives"
They went jubilantly. They were
to cross the enemy lines several
times and they were not ignorant
of the many dangers this enterprise
implied. They did it hidden by the
underground of the mountainside,
dragging themselves on their bellies
many times, and at other times
waiting for the deeper darkness of
the night. 1t was not always pos
sibla to satisfy hunger or Stake
thirst after the long weary day.
But they arrived.
While on their way back, they
were surprised and taken prisoner.
There was no question of doubt
about their fate. They understood it
and they accepted it. The chief of
the marines considered it useless to
continue their examination after
the first answers-definite, precise,
curt-givent through the interpret
en- native traitor.
What are you fighting for?"
Because we hate slavery"
Don't you know that the Amer
lean army is the most powerful in
the world?"
I'VE know ii and We do not care
But what hope have you? What
arms will you use to continue the
struggle?"
Those that you bring us. The
general says that our arsenal is in
the United States"
1t was useless to insist. 1t would
be necessary to add them to the five
other country people taken that day,
suspected of sympathizing with
SANDING, and shoot them. They did
not torture them as they did the
others. who can say why not?

Wagner Bill Expose

tons throughoutthe country against
the Wagner Bill. Under the gulse OF
opposing company unions the Wag-

poses in his bill to do away with

What Wagner means by trade

OF SEA HOBOES
Drifting Derelicts ! Menace
to Shipping.

The recent sighting of the "ghost
ship" Baychimo rear Point Barrow,
after she had been lost to the sight
a1 men for q year and a half, calls
to mind one Of the seas most capti-
waiting mysteries, though a dread
nenace to every sailor-the derelict,
writes Louis b. Bolander in the Bal
timore Sun. @
The Baychimo is, or was, a Hud-
son Bay steamship loaded with q
100000 fur cargo. In September
1881, she was trapped in the ice off
wainwright. The following month air.
planes from Nome rescued the pas
sengers, crew and part of the cargo.
On Christmas day a heavy storm
broke. The next day she disap.
peared, but a few days later was
sighted by Eskimos. On their report
q trapper visited the ship and re-
moved S35,OO0 worth Of furs. Again
she disappeared, but was seen again
by Eskimos in April, 1882. Since
then, so far as the writer knows, no
human eye has ever sighted the
sturdy steamship, clutched in the re-
morseless Arctic ice.
There is something fascinating,
something compelling in the thought
of these lonely, broken, shabby sea
hoboes drifting v the seven e a
at the mercy of wind, tide and cur
rent. Though a menace to sober
shipping there still clings to them an
atmosphere of romance.
One of the most famous derelicts
known to ~seafaring men was the
schooner B. r. Woodside. She was
forsaken by officers and men some
hundreds of miles east Of Savannah.
AT ono she headed straight for Eu-
rope, but when she neared the Ca
naries, veered about twenty miles OF
her starting point. She then mean
dered slowly down the coast of Flor
ida and then went zigzagging again
across the Atlantic. During her ca
reer as q derelict she was sighted by
NO fewer than forty captains of ships
In all parts of the Atlantic. Each
one, OF COuTSc, EcpOIlcu ucI lhSh
whereabouts to the photographic Of
fee in Washington. At last she was
picked up and towed to Abaco, New
Providence.
Still another famous derelict was
the Fannie E. Woolston. For three
and one-half years she wandered
over the Atlantic. covering a distance
estimated at 10000 miles. During
her journeyings she visited the coast
Of England, and then sojourned I'M
partially along the coast of France,
Spain and Portugal. She drifted
down to the equator and back to
America, where she was wrecked 8
degrees north Of the spot from which
she began her career as a hobo Of the
seas. This is not surprising when
We find that It is not uncommon for
. derelict to drift as much as 20
miles in "a hours.
