Britain what labor unions say has meaning, for unions control the government. Their latest suggestion is to nation- i alize Britain's steel industry, making it a great public utility. The unions suggest a tariff be high enough to keep out foreign stoel, and secure an absolute monopoly for steel public ownership. A publicly owned steel monopoly might need that tariff. Governments, outside of the United States, have I proved that they can run such natural monopolies as light, power, railroads, telephones, telegraphs, but they have yet to prove that publicly owned in! dustry can compete with private industry.

i R. GREEN, head of the American Federation of Labor, says any at: tempt to reduce wages may be met by strikes. The federation 1 would probably find some concerns not displeased if their workers went out, for a while, at least. Mr. Green, one of the wisest leaders that organized labor ever had, will i think carefully before encouraging strikes on any considerable scale.

He knows that payrolls cannot be met with good intentions, and that no in- i dustry is powerful enough to resist the greater power of financial depres- 1 sion.

He begs our government to send him to Russia where lie would be welcome, not to China where he jwill be-executed on his arrival. But government says: "Sorry, we do not recognize Russia and therefore cannot send you there." American communists gathered at i the river, near the battery, in New 'York, to deplore the student's fate. Police, according 1 to reporters, found i it necessary to club some of them.

The work of both classes was fine -and Spain is "turning communist," arid Spain is now in the "pre-Kerensky stage." Russia is mistaken, communism i and present government in Russia were made possible by a long period nihilistic teachings, just as the revolution and the firm republic of I Germany were made possible by fifty 1 years of earnest teaching by the Social-Democratic party. The masses of Spain have done little, if any, sociological thinking. Their revolution is like the French revolution and the titm republic of population that, excepting a few disciples of the encyclopedists, knew nothing about theories.

Spanish attacks on religious buildings in cities and on the estates of landlords by peasants, recall the French revolution. till The Setting of Steel and Hauling THE- St. John's School and Auditorium WAS DONE BY THIS FIRM HAULING, LONG AND SHORT DISTANCE RICK MOTOR TRANSFER CO. 1 TELEPHONE 268 225 SOUTH THIRD ST.
