FARRELL DOBBS OF 574
ASSURES EMPLOYERS
COontinusd from page y


You're American citizens aren't
you? Or do you admit your al
legiance to a gang of communists
and the Fourth International?
Going back to the Dobbs letter
and its none-too-skillfully hidden
jokers, we find this one:
"There are still a few unset
tied matters on record"
Just enough, when the time is
ripe in the opinion of Dobbs,
Skoglund, Brown, DUNES and
others, to give AT excuse for call
ing a strike!
The employers may not see
through this flimsy fake but sure
ly you workers will.
Take another:
&c. We have in most instan-
ces, succeeded in obtaining a sat-
isfactory settlement"
"We." Where does Dobbs get
that eve" stuff? WHO?
"We," Dobbs, Brown, Skog-
lund, Dunne-the communists!
Well, the I'VE" boys got the
dough too, didn't they?
The "you" boys scratched it
up, kicked it in and lost their jobs
scores of them-because the
strikes the eve" boys had urged
the you boys into, practically
gvreeked business and the bosses
had to let scores of "yon' out!
And now, when the Interna-
tional organization, Disguised
with the communist control of
574, revokes it's charter, Dobbs
suddenly discovers, after a con-
ference with the balance of the
1--WE" bunch that strike runors
are bad medicine for the members
of 574!
If there's a thimbleful of
brains in the rank and file, some
thing will be done, pronto, to re-
verse the personnel of the 1--WE"
and you" boys.-Let the "we'
boys work and pay and the you"
boys loaf and play.
l can't imagine who Dobbs
thought he was going to fool
with his dizzy letter, unless it
was the you" boys. He certain
ly didn't hope to slip one over on
the advisory committee-that is
and get away with it in such a
raw form.
He, this "Mr. Dobbs of Fargo

the charter of 574 had been re-

wage fight against the govern

concede his right to attack Mr..
Ward-if he finds that gentle
man betraying public trust or
violating any law, ordinance or
statute. l include public trust"
because Mr.. Ward as manufac-
turer, comes in contact with the
public and with the public's hired
servants.
But the mere fact that Ward in
years gone by, paid the penalty
for violation of law-paid his
debt to society and paid it in full
gives no man on earth the right
to taunt him with that one SPOT
that will not erase-and no MAN
will do it, except the breed who
gloat over the betrayal of a con-
6dence.
Just what does Editor Liggett
expect to accomplish toward the
elimination of Gov. Olson by
continuing his attacks on one of
the governors personal friends !?
Does he expect the people of
Minnesota to shun Gov. Olson
because among his friends he
numbers one who has never de-
MED his incarceration in a prison
cell? Can the Lake Street pub
Usher find nothing more to fling
at the governor than a friendship

A few days after the first Lig-

the admission of a friendship be-

He had a copy of the Lake Street
paper in his hands. They weren't
soft hands nor manicured. They
were gnarled and warped from
almost seven years in the raw
sisal mills at the Saltwater peni-

I'll be brief:
He had served his trick in the

of seven years, he found his wife

of major operation if her life

ONE of the most serious troubles from which you
~ should guard your baby is the kind of play and
other activity that result in lead poisoning Lead
is a dangerous poison and, although it affects
workers in industries most it also is known to have
counted many children among its victims.
There are many ways by which lead can get into
the body of a baby. Sometimes nursing mothers

Bakers used to color cakes and foodstufs with
lead materials ard there have been times when such
materials were found in cosmetic powders. On other
occasions, lead got into water and food from water
pipes, and there are instances in which babies suck
bite paint off the woodwork. toys beds, and cribs
TN Baltimore in 1892 there were 43 cases of lead
l. poisoning because poor persons were using dis
carded storage battery castings fuel in cooking and
in heating their homes.
The condition in which children eat dirt paint
plaster anything that happens to be around them
is so frequent that special name has been given to
it. 1t is called plea.
Once established, plea is difficult to check 1t
represents about the same type of condition that ex
lists in horse when it insists chewing stumps.

Eating these foreign substances is serious for
child particularly when they happen to contain lead
because lead is always dangerous poison.
doctors in Virginia recently reported the case
- of girl 3 years old who ate paint off her
play-pen toys, bed and bannlster railing Another
girl T. also sucked paint off her bed and toys. As
an infant the child had regularly eaten dirt.
The doctor finds out whether lead poisoning is
present by making X-ray studies of the bones and
by examining the blood. There are also changes in
the gums, with the appearance Of what is known as
a lead line.
OF course the digestion is greatly upset. There
may also be commissions or symptoms concerning the
nervous system.
1t has been found Of late that giving calcium 70

parathyroid gland aid recovery. Most important OF
ALL however, IS to stop the child from eating any
more lead, because continuation Of the habit will in

IN the OF fortunes favorites For instance with

is done in regard to labor is governed by regard for

workers. cardinal point in his political and
nOmic philosophy, which is that the government
should keep its out of the affairs of Bethlehem
