After carefully questioning me to see if I had any radical tendencies, he asked me to write an essay of five hundred words and make written application for employment. He then sent me up to the ninth floor of the building to an office called the “Allied Industries, Inc.” There I interviewed the head of this espionage system, who told me he would investigate my references and let me know the results.

(By Mail). —Kensington, the heart of the Philadelphia textile industry, long the scene of strikes, unemployment, wage-cuts, etc., has now been of- fered a solution of the miseries which capitalism causes the work-| ers; the Kensington Bulletin, the leading paper in that section, spon- sored and supported by the Board of Trade and the Manufacturers’ Association, has announced that the tariff causes all the evils to the workers. Of course, such things as textile mills moving their plants south to exploit cheaper and less organized labor, rationalization and the speed-up, which eliminates workers, have nothing to do with the tase in the opinion of the Bulletin. Like as not the workers will be asked to support Hoover and the re- publican party, not that Al Smith smells any sweeter, for this is o gang and republican-controlled sec- tion, If the workers were to bolt the gang-controlled party, some of ‘these grafting politicians might lose their soft berths. ‘ The owners of the mills no doubt gel that giving the tariff as the season for the misery they cause ws members of the capitalist class vill hlep delude the workers and offer them an excuse for making gj _-turther wage-cuts. This is no doubt m heir aim. \ me ) workers of Kensington, read et what the bosses’ official sheet, and th” the organ of Vare, the gang leader! st f Philadelphia, offers you as a ra, solution of your misery, i. e, the igh tariff, and see how soon you ve will get a job.

The Jewish Daily Forward, largest ist” newspaper in the country is undoubtedly the least dependable journal in all of the forty-eight United States. This paper, organ of Cahan, Hill- quit, Sigman, MeGrady and Co., as well as others of their ilk, can be depended upon, on practically every possible occasion, to stab the work- ers in the back. Failing that, the “Forward” can be depended upon to stab the workers in the side or Molicre Comedy Will Open — New Civic Repertory Season NORMA LEE s«epHE WOULD-BE GENTLEMAN,” | F.

Trucks were sent out to bring them into West Palm Beach.” And still the Negro is lynched and looked down upon in the “en- lightened” United States. $18 A WEEK is Fake Ads Mislead Jobless Workers AVERAGE WAGE. siecsne’ss svcrscment'n = HEROES IN FLOOD he ee ps at 2853 Broadway yesterday, be- . a S.
