It was the Birthday of A Child,
bringing promise of Love and Good
Will and Peace!
In the old days Of the conquering
Roman Sword
When every city had more slaves
than free men
When human life was cheap, and
gladiators fought for an afternoon
matinee
That was a glorious promise and a
hope which cheered the world
Three Wise Men came to see the
Child, 50 the olden story goes
Bowing before him as king, bring
ing their tribute of gifts rare and
precious
Following this example the world
has turned to giving Of Christmas
gifts
At first to those who needed most

Increasingly given now to nearer

MURDER CHARGE
Placed Against Six Police
In Tampa Flogging Case
By A. F. Of I. News Service.

By A. F. of L. News Service.
Tampa, Fla.-Tampa authorities
accused six policemen of first degree
murder in connection with the case
Of three labor men who were abb
ducted, tarred, feathered and beaten
so mercilessly that one Of them died.
The policemen were held without bail
in the county jail.
The mobbed men were Joseph Shoe
maker, Sam Rogers and Z. II. Poulton.
The assault was fatal to Shoemaker.
The mobbing occurred on Novem-
Der 80, but real official Investigation
of the outrage did not begin until
after William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, pro-
tested against the outrage and threat
end to move the 1886 convention Of the
federation away from Tampa unless
the authorities proceeded Immediately
to probe the action of the mob and
punish the guilty parties in accord
ance with statute law.

So long as more tribute waited to
be gathered
So long as more treasures awaited
the pillaging armies
So long as more taxes could be
levied upon the victims
War was God to be worshipedl
But the world turned out to be
round as an apple
At last the marching and sailing
hosts met each other across horizons
New lands, unconquered peoples,
unlevied wealth, were no more
Greater navies than ever, might
lest armies of history
Now menaced only each others
conquered provinces
With equipment SO vast and poten-
tial destruction so certain
That earth's greatest fighting ma
tion agreed in council
Wars risk to be greater than any
possible reward
And the Promise of Peace dawned
as the Logic of War.
4
But the Planners Of Peace would not
give up the Loot
Demanded tribute impossible Of
payment
Reused again among men the Law
of the Jungle
That He Takes Who Can and He
Pays Who Must
Resurrecting again old Gods Of
Battle
Whose relentless purpose and saw
age might can be subdued only
BY Brotherhood of Man magnifed
now to it's logical consequence
In Neighborhood of Nations.

Malnutrition Affiicts
Children of Unemployed

York, Can. (AFLNS)- Charging
that at least 400 children of unem-
ployed workers in this vicinity are
suffering from extreme manutrition--
because Of lack of milk, J. p. Andrews,
secretary Of the York Board Of Trade,
urged the township council to return
to the system of milk vouchers in
place Of cash relief.
Mr. Andrews pointed out that where
family formerly received special
milk vouchers, bringing the home
supply up to three and four quarts
day, they purchased in some cases only
one pint under the cash relief plan.
"The children of unemployed families
are undoubtedly suffering from mall
nutrition" he said.

as wholly chargeablc against the
United Mine Workers.
The greater part of it, UNIV spol1es
men say was put up by other organi-
cations dominated, indeed, by John
L. Lewis, the UMWs president, but
distinct from it, Nevertheless, Sena-
tor Augustine, Lonergan's campaign
investigating committee jots down
$469 66S91 as having come out of the
UMW'S. pocket directly or indirectly.
Inasmuch as Lonergan is a staunch
administrationist and his committee
is DemOcratically dominated, it seems
unlikely that they would wish to OK
aggerate in this particular instance.
OBLIGATED TO LEWIS?
Nearly half million dollars is a
good bit of money for a single labor
group, though big one, to ante Gf
the UNIV did 500 into the political
jackpot.
1t was all right of course, and hon
estly accounted for to the last penny.
All the same, the suggestion is
heard from politicians that the Roose-
Welt administration is under n ire
mendous load Of obligations to John
L. Lewis.
The question frequently is put:
rs Lewis engaged in creating Ia
bor party?"
A NEW PARTY:
Well what if he is?
1 do not find any fault with such a
program; am workingman. I think
that Lewis has qualities of real states

porters.
I simply echo the query:
