Bundle order of ten or more sells for two cents per FELLOW JUNIORS: I write this article to give you a bird’s-eye view of what is going on in Cleveland. We have all been given certain topics to discuss at our meet­ings. I believe in this way we can understand them better than if we just read about various topics. The topics upon which I am writing is one upon which I gave a recital. PEONAGE. Peonage is a term applied to the system of labor formerly prevalent in Spanish-America and especially in Mexico. It originated from the desire of the Spanish government to protect natives from the rapa­city of their conquerors. In Mexico these Peons were given privileges of minors and as such were exempt from coimp- ulsory military service, the payment of titles and aside from annual tribute. Royal of­ficers were charged with these Indians’ protection. These pri­vileges, however, served equally as well as a mark of inferior­ity. Their masters forced them into virtual chattel slavery. The labor required of these Peons was divided into two classes: FREE and FORCED labor. FREE labor with a definite contract. The Peons were re­quired to work a certain num­ber of days and do certain tasks which were strictly re­gulated by laws of India. FORCED labor was used to punish these Peons for crime or debt. Both these types of labor were hard and tedious. No. 2001. Cleveland, Ohio. COMMENT. We are very glad to have your article, Sir or Madam (Jim or Gelda; or whatsoever the case might be.)

Remember, Fellow Juniors, (oh, will we never forget!) the depression is still on and going good; reports to the contrary not withstanding. Here in Philadelphia, the un­employed people were getting food orders from the Welfare, etc., clothing and fuel. These supplies' were, of course, dis­tributed according to the sizes of the families. Doubtless, and in many cases quite true, it was a Godsend to starving, poorly clad unfortunates', this Welfare. But consider what it has done to the moral of these masses! There are in this World, as every thinking and observing individual realizes, thousands of lazy, shiftless good-for-noth­ings. They accepted, and still do, aid of the Welfare; in fact, took advantage of it. I will cite some cases which have probably come under your own notice. People who drive around in handsome cars, dress in beau­tifully smart clothes—they park their gorgeous chariots, don disreputable looking cloth­ing and go begging to the Welfare for food, fuel, etc. People who by dint of crook­ed manou.vering get double their quota of food and sell the ex­cess. People who take all they can get, and then some. For example, ordinarily they use two quarts of milk—they take six or seven quarts from the Welfare and then set half filled bottles uot an their door­steps. These people are simply parasites. They are taking from the mouths of babes. An honest, self-reliant work­ingman does not ask for Cha­rity. He asks for the opportun­ity to earn his daily bread in a fair, honest way. By the sweat of his Brow! He is wil­ling to sweat for it. All he asks is that he be given a square deal; a decent living wage in return. He is the POW­ER. He, the one exerting his energy—accomplishing wond­ers— at back breaking speed in every Industry, big or little. If there is to be fair division, he should have the lion’s share: not the big Money Mogul. That is why this business of Charity should end. As long as the poor “suckers” are satis­fied to take Charity—class distinction (Rich and Poor) will exist. “The little things blind them to bigger things.” The more horrible their plight the more blinded fools they are. Just recently the Welfare officers made a change. In place of food they are handing out money. Those who were contented to work at low scale before rights-have now quit working altogether and live ‘Ma-Holnap’ corapolisi bemutatása novem­ber 17-én, teljes sikert ara tott. A Bérmunkás olvasói meg mutatták, hogy az itteni ma­gyarság tud érdeklődni és lel­kesedni a vizenyős polgári szín­darabokon kívül a komoly, ne­velő társadalmi színdarabok iránt is, mint amilyen Pika Pál munkástárs által megin és a műkedvelők által bemuta­tott “MA-HOLNAP” színdarab volt. Szépszámú közönség előtt lett bemutatva e színdarab és nem hisszük, hogy a teremből valaki eltávozott volna, aki nem volt kielégítve a nyújtott szó­rakozással. A szereplők egytől-egyig a legjobbat nyújtották, ami a rendező Wiener mtárs egyik érdeme. A mulatság erkölcsi sikere mellett nem maradt el a moz­galom anyagi támogatása sem, amit nagyban elősegített Simon mtársnő, Szakács mtársnő aján­dékai. Úgy a nevezetteknek, mint mind azoknak, akik a mulatság érdekében fáradoztak, jegyeket eladtak, ezúton is köszönetét mondunk. Tudósitó.

They aren’t one wit concerned about ORGANIZ­ING and standing up for their rights. However, there’s a day of reckoning. It’ll be when CHAR­ITY is no longer accepted. That “Love Thy Neighbor and Offer To Share Her Burden” is all rights as far as it goes, but it doesn’t go far enough and when it does it’s off in the wrong direction. A. Zs.
