The Mob Gets
Bricks Friend

Buchanan's words had sunk
deep into Brick. He now fell back
into his chair, staring thought
fully ct the application on his
desk. Finally he rose and left
the office.
Little did he suspect that he
had seen Buchanan alive for the
last time. His friend, trailing q
gang Of murderouS thugs, had
gone to meet his death.
That night, Eddie Buchanan
stood hiding In the shadows Of
an alley.way across the street
from Q white brick house. He was
waiting for Durfee, o notorious
counterfeiter, to emerge from the
hideout Of Leggett and Collins
two gunner.
At last Durfee appeared in the
doorway. He hesltated Q moment
at the entrance, glanced furtively
up and down the deserted street
and then rapidly crossed to the
other side.
Buchanan sprung from the
shadows. He threw himself on
the gangSter.

From q second floor window,
Collins saw what had happened
He grabbed o rifle from the closet
and dashed back to the window
"A copper got Durfee! Douse

shot.
Buchanan crumpled to the

Fight Roosevelt S
Wage Cuts

HOW the N.R.A. cuts wages is revealed in
II the fact that 1900 shoe workers of
Haverhill have had 1919 per cent wage
cut forced on them, to begin next Mon
day
This slash was put over on the workers
by making use of the wage differentials
contained in the n. R. A. shoe code. Under
this code, the rural areas in Maine and
New Hampshire, and elsewhere, adjoining
the Massachusetts shoe factories, were
given a wage scale 1919 per cent below
the Massachusetts, city scale
Of course, the Haverhill and other Mas
sachusetts shoe shop employers began to
use the club of the wage differential, and
moved many of their shops to the areas
for which the N.R.A. code provides cheap
labor. The national officers of the United
Shoe and Leather Workers Union tried to
dampen the militant struggle which the
Haverhill shoe workers put up against the
wage cuts.
The combination of NR.A wage differ
entails, the club of moving shops, terror
against the unions in rural areas and
treacherous national officers of the union
is putting over these wage cuts.
The $500 workers have not given up the
fight to stop these wage cats The rank
and file in the union will continue the fight
against Roosevelt's wage-cutting scheme.

Unparalleled in History

THE educational system of the Soviet
Union, where the proletariat rules
(the class called the "least capable" by
yellow Mr. Hearst), is receiving the high
est praise of the foremost educators in the
United States.
A remarkable exhibit is now on display
depicting the great cultural and educs-
tional advances of the u. S. S. R., at the
Museum of Natural History, 18th Street
and Columbus Avenue.
We urge all our readers and their
friends not to miss this graphic display of
cultural accomplishments in the land of
Socialism. The exhibit will continue until
February %.
We cannot quote all the high praise
uttered by American educators who viewed
the exhibit, but DR.. George S. Counts of
Columbia University summed it all up
when he said that Soviet education had
set a record unparalleled in history"
