COMRADE Edited by the Young Young ) SECTION Pioneers of America and Farmers’ Children A Page for Workers’ AEROPLANES AND WAR The aeroplane is a wonderful invention. It is just like a bird flying—oh so high in the sky. With the help of the aeroplane, the human race could advance itself a great deal. Trips to the north pole, south pole, over forests, mountains, swamps and even across oceans aré now quite possible. Thru these trips many interesting things could be learned about the world we live in. Furthermore, in case of dis- asters, such as floods, earthquakes and storms, that eut off railroads and destroy all roads, it is possible to help save the unfortunate people living there with the help of the aeroplane. Surely everyone must admit that the aeroplane is a wonderful invention. But—wait a minute, there are other uses of the aeroplane. We must not forget, comrades, that we are living in a time when almost all countries in this world are ruled by greedy capitalists, who continually fight amongst themselves for the right to enslave weaker nations. Of course, the capitalists them- selves don’t fight. They declare war and the work- ers and farmers are sent to the battlefields to fight and die for them. But, with the coming of aero- planes, the WHOLE world becomes a battlefield. From a position of safety, high up above the clouds, a little speck will drop explosives and bombs, kill- ing and wounding thousands of innocent children, and women who happened to be on the strects. Whole cities will be destroyed in this fashion. This wonderful invention, the aeroplane, becomes the most terrible monster this world has ever seen. And this dear comrades, will be so until the workers and poor farmers rise up against their enemies,. the capitalists and organize their own government as the workers and peasants of Russia have done. Then and then only will the aeroplane be a bird of peace instead of a monster of war. Our Letter Box Capitalist Bunk Dear Comrades: I read in the newspapers that Coolidge called a disarming conference with the other big powers. The other powers do not believe in disarming, so they did not accept it. I know it myself, that it is the bunk, because they are build- ing a new aeroplane shop here in Garwood. I think they ean use it in war any time they want to. This is the way the American capitalists mean peace. —THEODORE FOLKMAN. Mother and Father Work Dear Comrades: I am writing a few lines about my school, My mother is working. She has to get up at 6 o'clock. She has to eat breakfast quickly or else be late. We have to go to school at 7 o’clock. I am 10 years old, second sister is 8 years and my younger sister is 5 years. I have to make the break- fast for my younger sisters. The quickest breakfast I can make is tea. We clean the table, make the beds, sweep the floor and wash the dishes. Then half past eight we get ready to go to school. Then I come home for dinner and I don’t find my mother Then I have to rush to make dinner for my fa and sisters. It makes it very hard for us because my father and mother don’t make enough. —JENNIE LUKASHEWICH. A Poor Girl girl about twelve years old was walking down 2 street. As she was walking two well dressed girls passed her. They laughed at her because she had old clothes on. She went back home and told her mother about those two girls laughing at her. Her mother told her they were the bosses’ girls. She told her daughter how they treat the poor men who worked for them. She said there will come a day when we will treat them as they are treating us. —YOLAN ENYEDY. DO YOU KNOW? Do you know that the Young Pioneer Camp is now open for registration?

C. > | WHICH SIDE WILL WIN? | IN THE NAME OF \ JUSTice-~~ eae THEN t fin THE NAME oF THE LAWe-) EXxeCuTE THemt (By L. Lankkonen) This picture shows the fight between capital and labor over two workers, Sacco and Vanzetti. Which side do you want to win? THE ROSE BUSH (From Fairy Tales for Workers’ Children) (Continued) The man went back to his work and the Rose-bush began to meditate. Yet the longer she thought, the worse her temper grew. Yes, even tho she usually had very fine manners, she spoke rouzh!y to a bee who wished to visit her. The bee was still young and_ timid, and flew off in fright as fast as his wings could carry him. Then the Rose-bush was sorry for her rough behavior, because she was na- turally friendly, and also spoke because she might have asked the bee whether the man had spoken the truth. While she was so engrossed in thought, suddenly some one shook her and a mischievous voice asked, “Well, my friends, what are you dreaming about?” The Rose-bush looked up with her countless eyes and recognized the Wind, that stood laughing before her shaking his head so that his long hair flew about. “Wind, beloved Wind!” joyfully exclaimed the Rose-bush., “You come as tho you had been called. Tell me whether the man has spoken the truth. And she reported everything the man had said to her. \ The Wind suddenly became serious and whistled thru his teeth so violently that the branches of the Rose-bush began to tremble. “Yes,” declared he, “all this is true, and even worse. I come here from all over the whole world and see everything. Often I am so seized with anger that I begin to rave; then the stupid people say, ‘My! what a storm!’” “And the rich people can really buy everything?” “Yes,” growled the wind. Then suddenly he laughed. “Not me. They can’t capture and imprison me. I am the friend of the poo.. I fly to all lands. In big cities, I station myself before i-smelling cellars and roar into them ‘Freedom! Justice!’ To tired, overworked people I sing a lullaby, ‘Be cowr- ageous, keep together, fight, you will conquer!’ (To Be Continued).

A Child Worker I think I will subscribe to the Young Comrade. I have to make the money first. I will tell you how and where I work. _ I work on the golf links where the bosses sport. When we work they tell us to hurry, but sometimes we don’t hurry. Some of the men give us tips, but very few. The men that give us tips are the men who are not so rich. The bosses who are rich want to be richer, so they don’t give us any tips. We have to work and carry the bags for them. Some of the men have heavy bags. If we lose a ball they eall us a rotten caddy, but it is their own fault if they hit the ball into the woods. We zet a dollar a day according to our agreement. The most I ever made was three dollars a day working from 7 in the morning to 7 in the night. So I will sub- seribe to the Young Comrade just as soon as I get enough money. Comradely yours, THEODORE FOLKMAN. RUTHENBERG SUB BLANK YOUNG COMRADE IN DANGER.
