YOUNG COMRADES GREET) WORKINGCLASS WOMEN | Ibsen Centenary Celebration We, the children of the workers and farmers, understand better than anybody else, how ortant the working..class..momen are for our stfuggies. We know because in our life and work, the women of the working class, our mothers, our sis- ters, our comrades, are so important. “hen we were little children, the 2 of our mothers, women of sing class, was very great on ud as we grew up this influence} aammed us in the direction of the| working class and showed us that we too are a part of the workers. | To build a strong children’s move-| ment is very difficult, if not impos-| sible, without the support and coup-| eration of the working class moth- | ers; this makes us realize more than} anything else how important it is to win the women to the side of the! workers. | We, the Young Pioneers of Amer- iea, children the working class, pledge ourselves to use our be: forts to heij eomr awaken the wo: win them for the bosses and for free of the working c stand ready!

The United States | sends their troops to gain law and! order, not to make money. President | Coolidge and capitalists are not| clowns. Instead of saying down with the “Spirit of St. Louis” we shall say “hurrah for the Spirit of St. Louis.” Do not say anything against the| christians and the U. S. if you are citizens of the U.S. of America. Do not forget that god fearing people are the best. The foreigners came to America to earn a living here. They are getting enough wages to support their families. Most of the foreign | countries do not give enough to sup- port one man. Down with the red flag, hurrah for the capitalists, the U. S. and the; christians. Put this in the paper why | don’t you? Afraid, aren’t you? UNKNOWN. s s * Editor’s Note—We are printing the above letter in the Young Com- rade Corner in order to show our read- ers to what extent the public schools poison the minds of children. The child who wrote this letter and was afraid to sign it,.is undoubtedly a worker’s child. Just a glance at her original letter is sufficient to prove that. The handwriting, the misspell- ing of simple words, and the general construction of the letter conclusively prove that he (I think) or she had mo private tutor as is generally the case with rich children. Now as to her arguments. The first one about the United States sending troops to maintain law and order. Only an ig- norant child or one that has been com- pletely poisoned by the patriotic bunk of the American bosses’ schools would not know that to “maintain law and | order” means to suppress and oppress | the people of weaker countries in or- | der to enslave them to the American | apitalists. This was done in the| ippines, Hawaii, China and Nica- | agua quite recently. To see how silly | this argument really is can be easily | understood by reversing the question, | That is, “Should not Nicaragua or| any other country send troops to this | country to ‘maintain law and order’| whenever they desire?” The answer} to this question should be sufficient to answer the argument. “Unknown” | defends the capitalists and Coolidge. | to complain and surely no reason to go out. on strike, It shows that our little friend “Unknown” has eyes and ears, but sees and hears nothing. The | poverty and suffering of the working elass is a closed book to our “friend, who probably does not know that strikes are the results of poverty, nec- essity, and the lack of sufficient wages to properly support a family Our friend evidently does not know the We are sorry for him. (What do-you think of Unknown and his arguments? us know.) MINERS’ CHILDREN’S RELIEF. Honor Roll. Victor Batswinsky, $.25. Emma & Olga Andrusak, $1.00. Max & Mary Tischler, $1.00. Mike Kalman, $.25. Venera Griciunite, $1.00. The total amount of money that | we have received up to and including last week is around twenty dollars.

Dear boys and girls.—Enclosed find ‘one dollar for relief for miners’ chil- dren. When I read the Young Com- rade Corner, I began to cry. The tears ran down my face and my moth- er was ready to cry also. While writ- ing this letter I was crying to think that the miners’ children have to starve, and that their parents, young and old, have to fight to win the bat- tle. I am so sorry that you are hav- ing a hard time. I am going to help all I can by sending money and clothes again, I am eight years old. Venera Griciunite. PUZZLE CONTEST.

Among the interesting items at the exhibition are all the known por- | traits of Ibsen, frem childhood to deathmask, and also a miniature the atre, showing the primitive conditi under which the dramatist had to work in his young days. The great-| jest interest, however, is centered on} paintings made by Ibsen self.

All |the first prints of Ibsen’s dramas are| there, together with most of the later| ed'tions in the Norwegian and foreign | languages. Literatrre dealing with Ibsen and his plays fills a large room, and letters, MSS., and illustrations are numerous. The first of the long list of the plays to be presented here on occa-| sion of the centenary was given this| week, when the National Theatre| presented “Brand.” It is a drama} which Ibsen never intended to pre-| sent on the stage. He looked upon it |as a “reading piece,” and was aston- ished when he was informed that a theatre had decided to produce it. In his young days Ibsen was very fond of mountaineering, and on one of his tours in thé Sogne Mountains in Western Norway he was caught in a violent snowstorm. It was dur- ing the storm that he was inspired to some of the finest passages of the drama. The piece was written in Italy during the s@mmer of 1865, and| |it was so well received by the critics that four repr'nts were issued before the end of the year. Ibsen owed to “Brand” that he was granted the of- ficial allowance from the government —what is called in Norway the “an- thor’s ware”—and the drama made his name known abroad for the first time. It was twenty years after it had been written that “Brand” was presented on the stage, and then only in a fragmentary form. 3 The celebration of the centenary in- cludes the presentation of “Brand,” “The League of Youth,” “Ghosts,” “An Enemy of the People,” “The Wild Duck,” and “Rosmersholm” at the National Theatre, and several other dramas at private theatres in Oslo and Bergen. In the latter town, where Ibsen lived for some years as instructor and scenario-writer on 2 fixed salary, the local theatre will present one of his first plays with the jcostumes and decorations used on the first night in 1856. |. The centenary is also being cele- brated in London by special perform- ances of “An Enemy of the People,” “Ghosts” and “The Wild Duck,” which are to be given at Wyndham’s The- atre on March 26, 27 and 30. In the performance of “Ghosts,” the play around which the Ibsen battle was fought in%1891, Mrs. Patrick Cam : bell will play the part of Mrs. Alving | The Everyman Theetre is revivin~ “Hedda Gabler,” during the month while “The Lady From the Sea” and “The Doll’s House” will also be seen in London during the celebration.
