^ w<»rld is soon to be given an opportunity to see
jl*t how a despotism operate* in these times of strug-
Individual freedom.
<#*•©• tch from Rome announces that approval has
been given by the cabinet to the fascist sys'tem
Eblch it is proposed to control the relations be-
ipital and labor and prevent strikes and lock-
planned by the government through the new
r°f corporations to exercise control over the
ve life of the nation. Anti-fascist employers—
»r organizations are to be deprived of their
Thirteen ’national associations covering all
>f workers and employers will be created.
All disputes between employes and employers and
gMsong these two groups must be submitted to arbitra-
■fen. Special courts will be created for the purpose.
It tssto be Italians for Italians. Non-Italians will
■bt be allowed membership in the national associations.
There will be separate associations for intellectual
■ad manual laborers. There wll Jje organizations for
■the professions including medicine law and journalism
dad* for artists and artisans.
-* Unto the government is given the right to change
the terms of contracts of any sort. Individual contracts
Will be permitted but they must conform to collective
contracts.
8trikes and lockouts are taboo and imprisonment will
bd Imposed by labor courts for violation of the orders
•d these courts or when strikes are accompanied by
j violence.
The plan is wholly the child of Premier Mussolini
•ltd on its face would seem to promise tranquility.
Bpt we are wondering what will be the result if the
plan falls to benefit the working classes. The trend of
the thought of labor for many yeras has been towards
dors power for the worker that he might have a great-
er' voice in the naming of wages and conditions under
iWbieh he should toil. We fancy that the American
jworiiidg man drawing higher wages and living better
than his brother in any other part of the world would
Jndignatiou against such a despotism in ithc

The Potash Bill Vetoed
We are paying Germany annually $10000000 for
! potash when there seems to be little doubt but that a
little exploration would reveal vest native deposits
r? we find President Coolidge vetoing a bill which
gpronld have provided $500000 a year for five years to
^liftay the cost of exploring.
V* la the light of the knowledge that there are vast
deposits in Texas it would seem that we have
the president in some false economy.
Jean always find plenty of money to keep up
nilitary and naval organisations plenty of monev
r into river improvements of doubtful worth but
It comes to promoting agricultural research im-
t the health of the citizenship or conducting ro-
rch of our natural resources our public officials are
rdly.
Perhaps the president thinks that if there is an op-
.portunity to develop the potash deposits of the United
ufitatea private capital will do the developing without
l*ny help from Uncle Sam and there may be merit in
Itvch nn llea.if that la what la in the president's mind.
| Yet if the government is to take upon itself »func-
LjoiiS beyond the mere protection of citizens in their
Upberent rights—and we know that it has usurped many
tfanctlons formerly left to the states or to individuals
L-a systematic survey of our mineral resources to de-
Ljtraiae just what we have in the way of potash should
gel come under the baa of presidential veto power. ✓

By JOHN H. WALKER
President of the lUinoie Federation of Labor la a Re-
cent Speech
Education and its ideals as a'substitute for ignor-
ance and prejudice is 'one of the major goals toward
which organized labor is striving.
Selfishness apd bigotry hatred and prejudice are
■11 offshoots of ignorance and
where ignorance is eradicated and
knowledge and intelligence sub*
stituted for it and the finer
qualities of manhood and woman-
hood are devoloped—then every
cause that is just be sup-
ported.
We are especially concerned
to do this fdr our own member-
ship because we know that the un-
intelligent in the ranks of labor
are much more likely to make
■ I mistakes and do tnings tnat are
| ^rn' wrong than are intelligent well
informed men and women.
Everywhere the trade union movement i» working
to store the minds of its membership with knowledge
based on truth and the facts in connection with the
problems of life to their development mentally so that
they will have the most complete understanding pos-
sible; also to develop those higher attributes within
them.
We recognise the value of great universities and
our hope is to develop conditions so that not only
every boy and girl who has the capacity to be bene-
fited by the full advantage of oulr grammar and high
;nchool systems may receive them but that too every
boy and girl no matter how poor their parents may
be who have the capacity to be benefited by higher
education will have it equally accessible to them as
it is to those who have parents with greater material
wealth.
We are hopeful that some day universities may be
able to work in co-operation with the machinery of the
trade union movement in this project and give our
people at their homes or home towns the benefit of
its greater facilities and of the tutorship on the part of
the men and women representing the university.
Since the efforts for the betterment of the masses
hr.ve only made' progress in so far as the justice of
their purposes has become understood sufficiently to
enable a majority of the people to use their influence
in their behalf we want our membership developed
*and informed fully so as to be able to present our
case in such a way as to bring about that understand-
*nK-
I believe that our educational institutions want to
land their assistance in solving these questions and
if they fail it is because they do not understand. The
labor movement wants the he/p of our educational in-
stitutions for human betterment.

MARSHAL JQSEF PILSl'DSKI
* •. - ■?. n •
After remaining in comparative seclusion ever since
the termination of the World War Marshal Josef Pil-
sudski emerges from retirement to lead an army on
Warsaw the capital of Poland
and seeking it is thought to over-
turn the present government.
Pilsudski is a Socialist although
at the time of his dramatic en-
trance into Warsaw it was not
clear whether he had the support
of the Fascisti and monarchists
or of the radical Socialists and
> Communists.
He is regarded as a hero by
many Poles and holds sway over
soldiers who admired him during
SiitasL I».iv.r%ri He is an intense patriot and at
present announces that he propos-
es to free Poland from corruption and institute
"dean** government.
No man has had a greater part in freeing Poland
from her oppressor. Russia than Pilsudski founder
of the famous Polish legion and former commander-
in-chief of the Polish army. His father was a revolu-
tionist and he has spent practically all his life working
for the education of the Polish people that they might
intelligently seek their own independence.
For years Pilsudski was almost a fugitive yet hfe
managed to edit many books printing them by hand
on a small printing press hidden in a snjall village.
With the literature thus created he traveled here and
there spreading the revolutionary spirit.
In 1896 the printing press was at length discovered
rnd Pilsudski was arrested. His friends helped him
to escape. Until January 1905 he refused to accept
money from the Austrians but necessity made him
accept their help to fight the Russians. When his
beloved country was fyially cleared of the last Rus-
sian soldier Pilsudski began to work out the task of
forcing out the Germans and the Austrians. He lend-
ed in a German prison where he remained for con-
siderable time.

Every seat was occupied when a group of women
got in. The conductor noticed a man who he thought
was asleep.
“Wake up!" shouted the conductor.
“I wasn’t asleep" said the passenger.
“Not asleep! Then what did you have your eyes
closed for?"
“It was because of the crowded condition of the
car" explained the passenger. “I hate to see the wo-
men standing."

INSTALLMENT TWENTY-THREE
“You know I’d be only too glad to
help you in the store Dad" Sylvia
said. “In fact. I’d like it. A little
later on. You see. 1 want a week or
two to myself at first to—to go
about—see my friends. And of
course there’* Howard.”
Yes—there was Howard. Mr. Mc-
Kenna had thought a great deal about
that and it was one of the things
that troubled him most. He had
never liked the young man. had resent-
ed the superior airs of his father
lording it over the rest of the town
because he happened to be the rich-
est man in it. In spite of Howard’s
ardent wooing. Jim McKenna knew
perfectly well that ‘‘old man Ben-
nett" as he was familiarly known
about town would look on an alliance
with the daughter of a shopkeeper as
a deplorable social error only to be
corrected by weaning Sylvia com-
pletely from her family her friends
inducing her if he could to quietly
snub them in order to assume the
altitudinous position of the head of
Millersburg’s Four Hundred.
“Have you seen him lately?" Sylvia
went on.
“No. Not lately." Not Bince the
new* of Sylvia’s disgrace had ap-
peared in print Mr. McKenna might
have added. “What did you saj- to
him when he came out to Hollywood
this last time?”
“Nothing definite. He begged me
to marry him.”
“Again ?”
“Oh yes. Insisted on it. Said he
rouldn't live without me. I prom-
ised to give him a final answer when
I came East around Christmas.”
“H—m." Mr. McKenna sucked
thoughtfully at his unlit pipe. “I'm
| wondering Mary dear” he said pres-
ently “if he'll be so keen about mar-
rying you—now.”
"Why Dad I don't know. And I
don't care. I wasn't going to accept
him anyway. But there’s no reason
why we shouldn't be—friends. He
really doe* care for me you know.”
A look of intense relief spread
over Mr. McKenna’s countenance. He
had feared that Mary might have
shared Howard’s feelings.
'Tm glad you weren’t thinking of
marrying him” he said. “He’d be no
husband for you child. A thorough-
going Babbitt if ever there was one.
You’ll be well rid of him."
"But I’m not rid of him yet"
Sylvia laughed. “Every time I refuse
him he asks me again.”
“Well—well—we’ll see” Mr. Mc-
Kenna remarked noncommittally.
CLEARED
Was Peter surprised? Peter was
—so surprised that for a fecottd he
could not say a word. He lay there
staring up into Mr. Elephant’s face
his own mouth opening and shutting
and not a sound coming .Vo
-— -ii i i V

.«** ** &OueALtD MB
poor fish jerked to dry land from
bis own dear pool without a min-
ute’s notice ever looked more fool-
ish. Mr.. Elephant was nut in a
pleasant humor but at sight of the
Boy’s amazement his small eyes
twinkled quite as if in spite of him-
self.
"**Welf youngster what have you
to say 3 Come now speak up.”
Mr. Blephartt may have thought
he was \speaking very low. indeed
btit the tumble .echoing along the
ground fairly made Peter’s ears
ache- PfteE began to grow angry
himself. |\nd when "he l©*f hfa tern
per he found his voice.
•• I don’t know what is the matter
with you!” sputtered he. “But I
am no spy I’ll tel! you that right
now! I have no more idea than
have you who is stirring in the jun-
gle— why should I indeed? I am a
stranger in these parts and you have
lived here all your life and ought to
know every little sound and what it
means. What are your great ears
for if you can’t hear what’s what?
1 come from afar. How could 1
bring a hand of Two-Legs upon you
when I know no one in this land but
Beasts? I thought when first I
enught a glimpse of you tonight:
"’Oh what luck! Here comes
Elephant the wisest ‘and kindest of
the Four-Leg folks—a creature I
have wanted to know all my life.
How I hope he will be my friend!”
But now I am not sure I want you
for a friend. You do not trust me!"
As Peter .snapped out his disa^
pointment and his nurt Mr. Ele-
phant’s trunk drooped lower and
lower. At last there was no doubt
about it. Mr. Elephant was hanging
his head.
“Say no more please!” pleaded
the mighty Tusker and huge as he
was. his voice now was little strong-
er than the fat little Pig’s. In fact
his squeal sounded much like
Grunty’s.
“If you only knew how sorry and
ashamed I am. There Is no doubt
that you are telliM the truth and
I shall believe you from this moment
on. I am a suspicious old Hough-
Hide. I am always listening for
trouble and suspecting my com-
panions of trying to harm me—to be
sure most of the Beasts would if
they could—but I shouldn’t hav
my dreadful days in cajp^vriy make
me distrust you. Yovl{ are not like
most of the Two-Legs I ran see
that!** v
Neat; Mlark on Hia Feet Again."
"Now I don’t doubt you're tired after
your trip to take my advire and
run along to bed. You’ll find your
room all ready for you.”
. Sylvia was glad enough to go. The
day had been a very trying one. And
the little apartment over the book-
shop did seem like home small and
plain as it was. She kissed her
father good night and left him still
chewing reflectively upon the stem
of hig cold |>ipe^
"You’ll want to finish your book”
she said.
Mr. McKenna however did not re-
open his volume on the buried city
of Ur. Instead he sat for a long
hour chewing at the stem of his
cold pipe his eyes reflecting broken
dreams.
"Poor kid!” he muttered when at
last he rose from his well-worn easy
chj^ “She doesn’t know what she’s
in for.’’
i Sylvia slept late the morning after
I her arrival and as a consequence
breakfasted alone. Ellen the “help’’
placed the meal before her in dour
silence scarcely managing a curt
“good morning” in spite of the fact
that she had known Sylvia since the
latter was a child.
The woman’s surly manner finally
got or. Sylvia’s nerves.
"You don’t seem glad to see me.
Ellen” she said at last with rather
a wistful smile.
“I’d be gladder” the woman snap-
ped “if you’d ’a’ come back the way
you was when you left us 1 ain’t
judging you mind. Let the Heaven-
ly Father do that. But I do say if
you lie down with dogs you get up
with fleas. That’s what comes of as-
sociating with them pitcher people.
A no-good lot that’s what I think
of ’em and always did. Have som^
more coffee?*’
That ended the conversation so
far as Sylvia was concerned. £llcn
had always been soured on life; she
came of a family of thirteen chil-
dren. and acted ns though the ill
luck associated with that number
had all been concentrated upon her
head. Sylvia went down to the store
below the optimism with which she
had begun the day a trifle Jolted.
Her father was behind the counter
waiting on a woman who was buying
some school-books for a girl of fif-
teen. He gave a quick smile a
nod and went on with him work.
Sylvia recognized the woman as Mrs.
Cutting who once taught her in Sun-
day school clans at the First Church.
As she parked down the space be-
tween the counters she attempted to
speak but Mrs. Cutting with a dis-
dainful and contemptuous glance
turned her back stood protecting!)’
in front of her daughter as though
she thpught( the latter in danger of
contamination by fh.’lvia’s mere pres-
ence. With two spots of scarlet flam-
ing in her cheeks. Sylvia proceeded
on her way to t£> door. Miss Um-
bach. her father’s sole assistant was
arranging some new books in the
show window. As. Sylvia approached
she put out a timid hand.
“Goed morning she said in a
curious half-frightened way “I—
Pm awfully glad to see you back."
With one eye on Mrs. Cutting who
was a good customer.' and the other
on Sylvia's very chic and charming
fur-trimmed suit she was palpably
embarrassed but her welcome Was
genuine.for fell that and Sylvia who
remembered the girl only as a rather
meek and mouse-like school acquaint-
ance. warmed to her instantly.
“Thank you Eliabcth.” she smiled.
“It’s nfee of you ta say so.” Then
she went out into the bright De-
cember sunshine. She had made up
Her mind to see her sister Katie
at once.
Mr. Arthur Suiters was the leading

brought him to the bouse. Latterly

built a stucco bungalow in a newly
