THE PROTOCOLS
OF ZION" AGAIN

'The Community Hour" an organi-
cation with headquarters in Houston,
Texas, has issued a circular pointing
to the Jewish conspiracy causing the
world panic" and calling upon gentle
homes to periodically set aside one
hour to be devoted to an unbiased x
animation into the evidence The me
thod used is a 45-minute reading Of
the Protocols of Zion" followed by a
15-minute Comparison with current
events"
The Protocols Of Zion" were brand
ed forgeries in a judgment Of a Swiss
Court in May, and a Swiss Fascist
leader was fined for their publication.
1t was proven that these protocols were
fabricated in 1905 in Tsarist Russia by
anti -Semites, who copied a French sa-
tire Catalogues in Helr) written aga
inst Napoleon III. The London Times
in 1921, after investigation, published
proof that the protocols were forged
by a Tsarist agent. Nevertheless they
continue to be used by Fascists to stir
up hatred against Jews.

Railroad Commission Montana has
had. The mutual d~isorganized then and
turned their business over to Wiles,
or The Butte-Helena Motor Freight.
The present owner OF this indepen-
dent freight line, Mr.. Wiles, is at pre-
sent the president of the Butte Motion
Picture Operators Union, having been
connected with organized labor here
many years. His manager OF the frei-
ght line, Mr.. Robert Hickman, along
with Wiles, are well qualified and
have proven their fairness and business
efficiency
The last act Of the old r%eactionary
Board before January l, 1885, wa to
give their masters, The Great North
ern Railway and one other out Of state
carpet bagging concern the right to
make use Of our highway to Helena
for their auto freight lines. They i'm
ported their drivers from out Of the
state. Further, the Great North
ern does not pay their drivers the I'm
lOl SNdlC d. CNulNu ny LHC DuLAC
Transfers Union. This is a crime and
la shame against the railroad brother
hoods and other organized labor un-
ions Of Montana, as we'll as her citi-
zens.
In conclusion, we call attention to
the excellent union conditions of the
utte-Helena Motor Freight. They
pay top wages for all their employees,
as laid down by the Butte Teamsters'
Union.
We further state, that it is men at
present in office, like Jerry O'Connell,
Tom Carey and Judge Angstman OF a
high sense OF justice and unflinching
courage, that rule for Montana people
and Montana labor as they did in the
case of the Butte-Helena Motor Fret
ght to transport property from Butte
to Helena and return as a common
carrier.

THE MAGAZINE
FIGHT"

The tabloid magazine, Fight" which
is included in the exchange list of the
papers coming to the office OF the Mon
Ytana Labor News is such an outstand-
ing periodical that it deserves a word
Of mention. The magazine is published
by the American League Against War
and Fascism, 1l2 East Ninteenth
Street, New York city. It sells for
five cents a copy and is issued monthly.
Quite a number of nationally known
writers are on its staff. 1t is literally
supplied with pictures and cartoons,
especially depicting the terrorism being
practiced upon the working people, not
only in the United States, but through
out the world.
To give an idea of the scope OF the
news of the publication a catalogue Of
the articles should be enlightening.
The July issue includes: Trade Unions
and Fascism, the Supreme Court and
the Aftermath of the N. R. A., by
Harry F, Ward; Militancy Prerequisite
to Labor Victory, by ]. E. Mcdonald
and Alex J. Phillan; Christians and the
Fight for Social Justice, by Rev.
Charles Weber; Southern Labor, by
Bruce Crawford; Imperialist Wolves
Quarrel over the Spoils, by Liston M.
Oak; Steel Town Americansim, by
Clarence Irwin; F%orerunners of Fas-
cism, by Hy Kravif; Why Poverty, by
Frank Palmer; Fighting the Anaconda
Copper Co., by Walter l. Shay; Japan
csc Labor, by Kanju Kato, and Fascist
Parade.
While these titles give only a faint
picture of the contents OF the book,
they indicate the universal character of
the news and editorial policy from
which the working people may secure a
very adequate understanding of events
that are transpiring about them and
also, what might be termed, a radical
Interpretation.
To a faithful conservative member
OF the A. F. Of L. unions, it appears
rather fault finding and vindictive.
Those who see no fault in the struc-
ture and tactics OF the American Fed
Grafton of Labor nor who want to see
it criticized had better avoid reading
this journal, but to all others who seek
the truth no matter where, and feel
that they are able to identity construc-
tive criticism, it is offered as a fertile
field for thought and an intelligent
survey of capitalist oppression.
The article by Walter Shay, Eight
ing the Anaconda Co." should be read
by everyone in Montana.

The grape, deriving its susie
nance from the earth and it's
sweetness from the rays of the
sun, has long been looked upon as
a symbol of fertility. How appro-
pirate then, is its use at a mar
riage festival.
The custom of laying away a
bottle of wine to commemorate a

scure origin, but is believed to
have first been observed in wine

In Cincinnati, Lockard encountered
opposition from Dallas, Tex, for the
1886 convention of the National As
sociation Of Building Owners and
Manufacturers and Dallas was VIC
toriouS. But, Lockard said, there is
a strong probability that the group
will come here in 1887.
While Lockard was thus occupied,
Roy Miller, another member of the
staff, went to Memphis, Tenn, seeking
the next annual meeting Of the Alpha
Tau Omega Fraternity. The conven-
ton will not end until tonight, but
Miller has been busy handing out
Washington next" buttons and litera-
ture about the attractions Of the Ma
tional Capital.
Curtis Hodges, director, also was IN
Cincinnati last week to interview the
officers Of the International ASsocia-
ton of Circulation Managers and in
vited them to come here next year.
The invitation will be acted upon at
the Winter meeting of the board of
directors.

T,U0 Associations Holding
Final Meetings This Week

Because Of the Summer holidays,
only two of Washington's citizens as
sociations will meet this week. They
are the Mid City and Logan Thomas
Circle Citizens Associations.
There are seven more groups usually
scheduled to meet about this time of
each month but which have recessed
until the Fall. According to officers
the following associations have ad-
journed and will reconvene in the in
dicated months:
North Capitol Citizens Association,
September; Georgetown Citizens As
sociation, October; Conduit Road Cit
izens' Association, September; South
east Citizens Association, September;
Trinidad Citizens Association, Octo-
ber; AnacoStia Citizens Association,
September: and the Joint Conference
of Northeast Citizens Associations, un-
announced. This latter group may
have one meeting during the Summer,
A. F. E. Scheer, chairman, declares.
Mid City.
There will be very little business to
be considered at tomorrow nights
meeting of the Mid City Citizens As
sociation, President A. J. Driscoll
states.
This, the final meeting, will be
largely devoted to social activities.
Vocal selections will be sung by G. A.

Citizen Organizations
Urge More Health Funds.

ORGANIZED civic Washington is
~ supporting the Commissioners
earnestly in their request of the
Budget Bureau for authority to re-
quest an appropriation of $65,000
toward carrying out the public pro-
gram of Health Officer Rutland.
There was some disappointment
that the recommendation for $93.-
900, as requested by the health
officer, was not granted, but it is
hoped that the social security legis-
lation will give the District an
amount which will come near pro-
viding the funds required.
The general civic sentiment is
that there Is no economy in the
saving of dollars through the sac
rifice of health and lives. Civic Or
ganization members are proud Of
many things about the National
Capital, their home community,
but none have ever been heard
Dragging Of the Districts health
and mortallCy record.
Some of the members Of our ALL
powerful legislature, in which we
are not represented, are sometimes
given to modestly boasting Of this
''best-governed city" and the adj
vantages enjoyed by those who re-
side here. But none has heard Of
them holding out that there is q
better opportunity here to contract
disease than in some other place
and that this may be pretty good
place in which to die.
Washingtonians are earnest In
their desire to boast Of the lowest
disease and death rate in the coun-
try, and civic leaders make it
known they are willing to make
sacrifices to bring about such an
ideal condition.

Committees Being Chosen.

John Saul, new president of the
Washington Board of Trade; Robert j.
Cottrell, executive secretary, and the
new cabinet of the organization are
busily engaged in the selection of the
boards standing committees for the
coming year.
During the past week large number
Of members have responded to an in
quiry in which they were asked to give
their preference of at least two COM
mittees on which they would like to
serve as part Of the new administra-
ton.
No action in choosing the personnel,
however, Is expected to be taken until
all members have been given ample
time to send their replies to Cottrell.
The Summer months are always
slack months for the board and 1t is
probable that no new committee
meetings will be called until late
Summer or early Fall. With that long
lapse Of time In mind, the final Sc
lections may not be made for some
time.

~ ISTRICT legislation which
has not been moving very
rapidly of late had a de-
cided boost at the meet
ing Of the Senate District Commit
tee on Friday afternoon. The
meeting was attended by the
Commissioners, District oficials
and @ large gathering Of citizens.
The object of this meeting was to
clear the committee calendar and
this was about accomplished. Ten
bills were ordered reported to the
Senate and steps were taken to
expedite the handling Of others.
A subcommittee consisting Of
Senators Copeland and Capper will
undertake to harmonic the pend
ing old-age pension and unemploy-
ment insurance measures with the
Federal legislation on those subjects
when the Federal enactment has
been completed.
The House District Committee
has been in q two-week recess, at
the end of which the crime report
is to come up for action on a
motion to reconsider. The House
District Committee room was the
scene of an interesting occasion on
Wednesday, when in the presence
of a group of civic leaders and
legislators a fine oil painting Of
Chairman Mary T. Norton was
presented to the committee by
Washington citizens as an adorn-
ment of the committee room. Mrs.
Norton spoke with enthusiasm Of
her work for the District and of
her endeavor to hold up the hands
Of the Commissioners. She again
registered her, belief that the resi-
dents should have voice and vote
in the management of the Dis
trict and Of the Nation.
A number Of new District bills
have been introduced during the
past week. Seven Of these were
introduced In both Senate and
House, four being recommended
by the House Subcommittee on
District Crime. These would change
local jury practices by increasing
eligibility lists through eliminat-
ing most District and Federal
Government employees from ex-
emption; also by withdrawing the
right of women to decline jury
service for unnamed reasons.
Provision is also made for the serv-
ice of Police Court jurors for
the same terms as those Of the
District Supreme Court.
Another bill would restrict jury
trials in the Police Court to those
where such right Is specifically re-
quired by the Constitution.
Senator Copeland has introduced
in the Senate new bill to control
the practice of pharmacy in the
District and another to abate the
smoke nuisance. There are now
four smoke bills pending in COM
mittee. This latest is modelled
after the New York law and in
cludes in its prohibitions steam
railroads and steamboats,. 1t car
ries a maximum fine Of $500 for
violations. A favorable report has
been ordered on the Copeland
smoke bill --A--..~-. -.--- .

GOOD CITIZENSHIP
MEDAL AWARDED
TO STUART PUPIL
First Ward Association and
S. A. R. Establish New
Annual Prize.

Due to the efforts of the First Ward
Citizens Association the National
Society Sons Of the American Revolu-
ton medal for good citizenship has
been awarded for the first time in
Washington.
1t was presented to Letcher B. Con-
nell, jr., of the Stuart Junior High
School, who was judged as having
made the most development in good
citizenship this year in the District.
The medal is to be awarded annually
to that student Of the junior high
schools who has typified the best
ideals Of citizenship throughout the
year.
The plan to award the medal yearly
was launched in Buffalo, N. Y,
10 years ago, in an effort to promote
character building and discipline, and
has since that time reached Nation
wide proportions. Frank B. Steele,
secretary general of: the society, origi-
mated the project as means Of dem
onstrating to the public the construc-
tive, practical, influential and patri-
otic work of the Sons of the American
Revolution.
With the idea that it is elemental
to foster true patriotism" among the
youth of the country and the way to
reach the boys and girls of the coun-
try is through the public schools the
organization has limited the project
to the students of junior high school
age.
The qualities to be considered in
making the award are flvefold: De-
pendability. as shown by truthfulness,
honesty, loyalty and self-control; CO.
operation, as shown by respect for
authority, proprietry and courtesy;
leadership, evidenced by what the
pupil has done to make the school a
better school; patriotism, shown by
loyalty to, and knowledge of, the pur-
pose expressed in the preamble. to the
Constitution of the United States;
and no pupil shall receive the Sons of
% the American Revolution medal who
is not clean in speech and personal
habits.
The bronze medal, which is appro-
priately designed, has the following
inscription on its face: National So
ciety Sons of the American Revolu-
ton Good Citizenship Medal" On
: the reverse side it reads: Our in
spiration is from the past, our duty
is in the present, our hope is in the
future"
1t was through the efforts of the
First Ward Citizens Association, who
sponsored the plan, that permission
was gained from the Board of Edu-
cation to place this idea in the Dis
trict's junior high schools.
This citizens association was Or
ganized in July, 1884, with the aim Of
getting better schooling conditions,
Fairgrounds and better recreational
centers, as well as to help young people
in constructive works. Its territory
. takes in the old first ward Of Wash
ington from Fifteenth street to George
town and Potomac Park to l. street
northwest. 1t is not member of the
Federation of Citizens Associations.
The association is headed by Miss
C. Virginia Diedel. prominent attor-
ney; Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, vice
president; John H. Coxhead, vice presi-
dent, and Mrs. Bell Parker, secretary
treasurer.

Street Cars vs.. Buses
Debate Goes Merrily On.

MILITANT advocates Of these
" different forms Of mass trans
portation are still going strong
as to language, but with no new
ideas suggested. All the local
papers have been carrying letters
from correspondents advocating or
condemning one or the other of
these vehicles. Strong emphasis
has been placed by number on
the alleged advantage held by the
street railways over the buses
during sleet and snowstorms. Such
idea was advanced vigorously by
this observer to an expert of bus
operation and this information was
the result.
With the expansion of the bus
service there will be more ade-
quate provision for the sanding
Of the roadway and the operation
Of the snow plows as the storms
progress, precisely as in the case
of a similar service on the street
railways. The idea is to not let the
storm get control of the situation.
This expert further pointed to
the fact that each bus, being an
independent unit, would not be
affected by other units, and that
the disability of one could not tie
up the entire line. He called at
tention to the fact that the JAM
ming of a skidchain link in the
rail slot and a resulting pulled
plow" would in no way affect the
bus operation. He added further
that in case of trafflc interrupt
ton because of a fire q bus can
make a detour around the street
occupied by the Fire Department
and continue on its run. Another
session will be sought with the
bus expert, when a new supply of
arguments for the street cars is
acquired.
Meanwhile the Public Utilities
Commission has approved the sub
stitution Of buses for cars on the
Connecticut avenue line. The joint
action of the Utilities Commission
and District Commissioners will
take the final action.
