to scott at Socialism. The value Of
this contribution to American civ
ilization never has been appreciated
justly If 1 could forget the de-
pression'S injury and injustice to
children, would be tempted to say
that it is a shame that these Re-
publican-Democrats were not left
in the refiners fire until their dross
was consumed, thus allowing pure
Socialists to emerge. Since many
voters can be educated in no other
way except through their stomachs
and pocketbooks, I am glad to suf-
fer my share with the hope Of see
ing day of public enlightenment.
A smiling President who can teach
the people to be satisfied with soup

dangerous as were Robinson and
Watson.
Oh, the curse of public indifer-
ence!

NeW Deal Is Failure

as bad as Hoover's four years Of
promises.
I have been here watching the
New Dealers lift us out of the de-
preston by hiring the wheat farm
ers not to plant wheat, and hir-
ing the cotton farmers to plOw
under the cotton, hiring hog
raiserS not to raise hogs and 20
kill the pigs and soWs. The New
Dealers gave labor an increase in
wages and then increased the
prices more than the increase in
wages.
All Of these things have been
done under the New Deal, at a
time when men, women and chill
dren are suffering. And then if
some one disagrees with your
plan, you want to send them to
Russia, Mexico or somewhere else.
Why didn't you go to Russia or
Mexico? When the Republicans
we're in power, they were there by
a vote of the people, just like the
Democrats are now. Well, if you
decide to send every one who
doesn't agree with you to some
other country, count me in, be-
cause I don't agree.

ing homes and families; therefore,
they should be paid living wages.
Until last week, they were paid
25 cents an hour. But the work is
getting heavier and taxes more time
for the same number of women to
complete it. So they were given
cut by being put on piece work at
such a low rate that 1T is almost
impossible to make $3.50 during a
nine-hour day. This last pay day
(Tuesday) some Of the women re-
ceived ST for a forty-nine hour week.
They were a few cents short in pay,
so they went to the boss for the
money which rightfully was theirs.
Did they get it? No; he gave them
another cut right then and there.
So, Blue Eagle, think it is about
time for these laundry grafters to
close up or put up and pay living
wage.
There is enough work in this laun-
dry to employ six more women with
each working eight hours a day.
Blue Eagle, if you still are on the
job, let us have some action.

NEWSPAPERS CRITICISED
FOR DEMOCRATIC ATTACKS

BY a Democrat.
The two partisan Republican
papers of this city now are exhibit
ing the MIST consummate gall in
offering advice to Democratic off,
Gals and the Democratic party.
During the campaign, these papers
worked morning, noon and night, in
season and out of season, in glazing
headlines and editorials to defeat
the Democratic party. They not
only criticised but maligned Dem
ocratic candidates and Democratic
policies.
The time of retribution has come,
if Democrats will only use it. The
power is in hands of Democrats.
The process is easy.

Crowd Braves Heat
The President spoke from a
high platform on the shore OF
Green Bay. Spread out fan-wise
in front of him was a crowd OF
some $4,000 people.
Probably five times that num-
ber lined the five-mile road
from the station to the park
where he spoke. The sun was
soaring, but the crowd stood it,
rather than the President, for
the platform was located in the
shade of a towering elm tree.
Despite the heat and the i'm
mense crowd, Mr.. Roosevelt had
very attentive audience. Loud
speakers carried his voice to the
farthermoSt fringes of the crowd
and the applause was frequent
Thunderous applause greeted his
assertion that there is no lack Of
confidence among those who
"read the signs of the times
It was pronounced as he said
with great emphasis that "the
United States will not return to
the ancient order"
Sponsors Are Democrats
Despite his genuine affection
for Young Bob" and his tribute
to the wisconsin idea" as fost-
cred by the elder La Toilette anc
carried on by his son, the Presi.
dents sponsorship in Green Bay
was entirely Democratic.
The first speaker was Mayor
Deiner, who introduced Repre-.
sentative Hughes. and the latter
introduced the President.
The Presidents prepared ad
dress did not mention either OF
the two Wisconsin senators. But
when he reached the reference to
them in speaking, he said:
"YOur two senators, Bob La

President said, to the farmers, TO
manufacturers, to workers, to
financiers and to business men
generally, because the Govern
ment is cooperating to enrich the
life and opportunity Of the aver
age individual.
Two Types Delaying
There are two types of indi-
viduals, Mr.. Roosevelt asserted,
who are delaying progress:
First, the man whose Objec-
tiveS are wholly right and wholly
progressive, but who declines to
cooperate or even to discuss
methods of arriving at the OBJ
jectives because he insists on his
own methods and nobody else's."
While Mr.. Roosevelt mentioned
no names, this was interpreted by
his hearers as referring to Senator
William E. Borah (RD Of Idaho
who is now stumping the West in
opposition to the NRA and other
New Deal policies. He continued:
'"The other type is the indi-
vidual who demands some mes.
sage to the people Of the United
states that will restore what he
calls confidence" ,
Mr.. Roosevelt concluded his ad
dress with a definition Of the New
Deal by a member of Congress
whom he did not name, but WhlcE
was written by Congressman Ed
ward Burke of Omaha, who is nov
opposing Brother Charley" Bryan
for the Democratic Senatorla
nomination in Nebraska.

Deal, said the President, do Sc

Seattle, May 26-Called by the
International Labor Defense, work
ers today held a demonstration pro-
testing the threat of terror against
striking longshoremen and seamen.
The meeting was held in front of
Pier 2, where the Victoria" last
week loaded lumber, pipe and ce-
ment to relieve the Starving AL
askanS."
Speakers from the International
Labor Defense, the Marine Workers
Industrial Union, the Unemployed
Citizens League and the Communist
Party told of the danger of national
guards or federal troops being call
ed to break the strike.
Longshoremen have been killed
and wounded in San Pedro and in
Galveston. Picketing miners and
factory workers in Birmingham,
Buffalo and Toledo have been fired
upon and killed. Seattle faces the
same threat, the speakers pointed
out, unless the workers unite in
protest, demanding that no special
police, national guardsmen or troops
be called.
