Lenine might have a chance to proselyte at Gary, at Lawrence, hee-haw from the workers of any skilled trade who are getting a _ square deal. So, while we may without fear allow the gusty-mouthed proclaim- ers of anarchy and red ruin to rant as they will, we should be mighty careful to see to it that industrial injustice, the bilking of ‘mines of alien immigrants, the general squeezing of the less intel-| ligent workers for the greed of a'ruthless employer — that these} things do not exist in this country. You will never Americanize an immigrant until you give him! what his labor is worth—a tract, a speech, and an earnest prayer _ mean nothing while you ride him. Get off his back—give him a chance to be a man and then judge him. _ And let no optimist imagine that the greed of certain employers is any less savage, less relentless, less opposed ‘to humanitarian in- stincts than in the old unorganized days. Skinning the ignorant laborer—getting him cheap and taking! advantage of his every weakness and ignorance—that’s the good) old greasy game of a certain nasty type of labor contractor. It is a! mighty dangerous game for this nation, and tho we have more than| enough laws as it is, still we could well enact just one more to make this type of indecency a felony punishable by from six to sixty years hard labor at the job the agent was selling to the victims he bilked. | THE SEATTLE STAR sending their kids to school, and their flivver to the repair shop at| regular intervals. aera 2 i And thinking men know that injustice from above, and not Corner} jow shuns an" plncks an’ throws has got « granddaughter with » lampshade in th’ sitthy room as big as a wagon umbrolla, There's many « dome bride that ougtt to be a June graduate Letters to the and on the Lower East Side; he wouldn’t get anything but the loud} Editor— If one wishes to know what created the Russia of today let him go| back 25 years and read Kennan’s story of the Siberian prisons, | INCOME TAX THE RIGHT SOLUTION Editor The Star: terest your article on taxation, your tmue of last Friday; however, you do not offer any solution which |is applicable to the situation.
