The meaning of the picture is that the Chinese workers are getting to understand that there should be no bosses so they are trying to kick out the American and Chinese bosses. But America wants to have bosses. So does England. ahd they send battleships and are trying to stop this affair, but the Chinese workers will outwit them.

OUR LETTER BOX Dear Comrades: Once we were going to the Pioneer meeting and we were singing songs. A kozak came rumning after us, we weren’t scared we just kept on walking. The policeman ran after us he said, “If you don’t stop singing [ll arrest you.” We said, “We want our union, the upion will help us.” The kozak just langhed and didn’t do anything to us. Your Comrade, ANNA MOLODOWITH. Dear Comrades: Our teacher is a big fool. He takes the. bible in the morning and reads it to us. Then he asks us questions from it. One day he asked me a question from the bible and I did not know it, he said what kind of a catholic are you. Then we say our prayers after he reads the bible. But I never say it. Then after we say our prayers we sing. On Thanksgiving Day he told the children to eat all day. But he did not ask us whether we had something to eat. So that’s the kind of a fool he is. His name is Mr. Frances Simpson. He is a mean bad teacher. He always sings holy songs. I hate him with all my might. Every time we make a mistake in something he makes fun of us. That shows how much sense he’s got. I am joining the Children’s Page Club. Your Comrade, H. M. How Workers’ Children and Workers Are Treated” in Mining Towns. I am fifteen years of age and attend the Bentley- ville High School. My brother who is thirteen also goes to the same school. ~ Now here is the problem. My brother John had broken his friendship with Joe K. because his father went to scab at the Bethlehem mine at Weaver, and had been enemies since then. One day while John was coming home from school, Joe threw a stone at my brother. His aim was poor and did not hit my brother but broke a window of another school. When asked who did it my brother and another school mate (who was with him) told on him. This increased Joe’s anger and he threat- ened to stab them with a knife, but didn’t get a chance because my brother and his friend jumped on him and took the knife to the policeman. The same night Joe's mother (much intoxicated) went to my brother’s friend’s home to inquire for the knife. His dad said he would return it will- ingly soon as his son came home. This answer did not satisfy her. She picked up stones and threw them among a group of boys. Of course they threw stones at her after that, Well, she went to Ellsworth and put my brother and his friend under arrest. The next day two “yellow dogs” (coal and iron police) came to school and took my brother and his friend to Ellsworth police station without consult- ing their parents. Here the “yellow dogs” threat- ened to do all sorts of things to them if they wouldn’t confess, That afternoon my dad went to the burgess of our town and told him how cireumstances stood. The burgess said he would like to help him, but he eouldn’t, He could if he wanted to. The first case was held, The “yellow dogs” cussed us, and wouldn’t give us a chance to talk. So the case was put off until Monday. Dad got a lawyer; but as soon as the “yellow dogs” saw the lawyer they went out. Even the squire didn’t like it. He talked nicely because he was a coward, when we had witnesses and a lawyer. He told us the case was over and all was 0. K. The “yellow dogs” said to my brother and me, “The Red Necks (meaning the workers) didn’t do anything last April and they won’t do anything this April.” Are we going to do anything? Of course, nothing. will stop us, Let this be our motto, “Let nothing discourage you, NEVER give up."~ANNA SHAYNAK. cons Ge Young | ECTION Pioneers of America PARIS COMMUNE and RUTHENBERG Did you ever hear of the Paris Commune before? No, well we'll tell you about it. During the war in 1870 between the French and Germans, the poor workers of France suffered very much. Thousands of them were starving and many were thrown out of their houses and into the streets. At last the workers could stand it no longer. So on March 18, 1871, fifty-six years ago, the working men and women of Paris arose in revolt and organized the first worker's government, They called it the Paris Commune. For two short months this government of the workers of Paris lived and made many im- provements for ;the workers. During this time they had to resist the attacks of both the French and Gefman capitalist (bosses) governments. Fin- ally the Commune fell and with its fall over 25,009 working men, women and children were brutally murdered. The walls of Paris were stained with their blood and the river Seine was like a river of blood. That ended the first workers’ government, the Paris Commune, But although the Paris Commune was drowned in blood, its spirit lived on. And in October 1917, our Russian comrades took up the fight and estab- lished the Commune of the Soviet Union. This Commune could not be killed in two months as the first one.> This Commune has already lived about nine years and is still marching forward. Comrades, while we think of the Communards our comrades who fought and died for the Paris Commune and the Soviet Union, let us pause a moment and give a thought to our leader, our Com- munard, who died fighting for the Commune, not only of America but of the whole world. Let us think a while, Comrades, are we worthy of such a leader? Are WE followine *- “*- footsteps? Are WE Communards? Ate WE members of the Young Communards, the Young Pioneers of America? Are WE subscribers to the Young Comrade? You know Comrades, if Ruthenberg were alive he would say YOU SHOULD BE ! CAN YOU DRAW? Besides articles, poems, jokes, riddles, puzzles, ete., all comrades are also invited to send in draw- ings and eartoons. Drawings about school, about the workers and the bosses, and especially about workers’ children, are wanted. All good ones will be printed. If you can draw, let’s s¢e.
