CELEBRATE MAY DAY On May 1 thousands of workers and poor farmers in the United States as well as the rest of the world, will lay down their tools and celebrate May Day. . On this day they will show the bosses that the work- | ers and poor farmers are united against their enemies "and will continue to fight them until we have a workers’ and poor farmers’ government instead of a bosses’ government. ; May Day is a workers’ holiday. It was started in ' America and has been celebrated thruout the world gince. The bosses did not like this, so they gave us Labor Day, the first Monday in September. But our real Labor Day is on May 1. The children of the working class should also cele- + brate May Day because they are also a part of the _ working class and they too are interested in form- \ #ng a workers’ and farmers’ government. They know that ie a workers’ government, like Soviet Russia there is NO CHILD LABOR, and that in a workers’ government the bosses cannot do as they please. They know that a workers’ government provides schools, playgrounds, parks, camps and all things that go to make strong, healthy and intelligent chil- dren. They know they can get these things only in a Workers’ and Farmers’ Government. That’s why . they too celebrate May Day. OUR LETTER BOX WORKERS ARE WEARING MASKS. ©“ Dear Comrades: My father received two lists - from the workers of the Passaic strike. My father > seould net go to colleet because he worked. So my " mother and I went to collect some money for the Passale strikers. It was very hard to collect the money, because the workers are asleep. They are * qearing masks and can’t see that they should be al- * ways on the workers’ side. There were many houses - that did net give anything. Anyway we did eollect more than $10. How glad I am that the strikers are standing and fighting against the bosses. All workers should fight like that and there would be no more bosses. . MARY MAZIARCHUIS. Bunk In School Dear Comrades: I don’t like my teacher. She is too holy. She always makes us learn church songs and tells stories about Jesus and I don’t know what else. One day a school boy asked me where I would ‘go when I died. I said, “Where do you think you're going?” He said, “Do you know where?” I said, “Yes.” There isn’t but one place to go and that is where they bury you. You remain there until your body turns into dust.” He didn’t say anything but walked away because he knew he couldn’t fight Pioneers. One day in spelling we had the word “striker.” After spelling was over I raised my hand and asked what “striker” means. My teacher said that strikers are people who don’t want to work, and if they do, they want high wages. I said, “Mrs. Wms. that’s not true. I am a Pioneer and my father is a labor man. He has to work in a place about three and a half feet high and gets hardly enough money to buy food and clothes.” She said, “You may sit down.” I don’t like to fuss or argue but whenever I make up my mind to say anything about “strikers” no matter what happens, I'l say it—MARGARET YUHAS.

Answer to Picture Puzzle By RAYMOND KOZUL, The answer to the cartoon published in the Young Comrade Section is—The workers’ children aré food | for the capitalists. The workers are compelled to la- ' bor morning till night to have bread for their chil- to eat, but in many instances they have not bread to eat, or decent houses to raise them in. aa% But the capitalists who do not have to work for their living, raise their children in luxury. This will con- ue as long as the capitalists will rule the workers, CF wwe pepent Ais on to win our independensa The COMRADE Edited by the Young A Page for Workers’ When America Will Be Like Russia By EMMA PALL.

THE LITTLE GREY DOG (Continued.) At evening, tired, he would crawl into the hut, bury his head in the hide of the grey dog, cry, and draw comfort from his only friend. One evening, his baek all bloody and his face swollen, Benjamin came home. The overseer had been in a bad temper, had beaten the little boy with a whip and hit him in the face with his fist. “I want to die,” cried Benjamin, while the dog softly and gently licked his wound. “I can’t stand it any longer. My parents are gone, I am entirely deserted, everyone is unkind to me, Dog, dear dog, what shall I do?” “Run away,” replied the dog. “Where to? -They will catch me and beat me again.” : The dog thought hard for a while. “We must go north,” said“he at last. “There people are better than they are here. They do not want the Negroes to be slaves. We must run away there.” “TJ don’t know the way,” complained Benjamin. “J will lead you. Morning and night, when every- body is asleep, we will go.” And so it happened. The moon was a small white sickle in the sky, the great trees tossed wierd, black shadows on the earth, all was deathly quiet, only once in a while the leaves rustled sleepily. Benjamin and the dog ran swiftly on their tiptoes, out of the- hut, and went toward the great river. All night they wandered along the side of the river, and when morning came the dog looked for a safe hiding place, for the short legs of little Benjamin had not carried him very far, and there was still the danger that the servants of the rich man might trace him.
