VOTES STOLEN
In ILLINOIS,
SAYS SWADECK
Gives 2,622 and
Indiana 987 Votes

The elections in the states of iii.
nois and Indiana, according to ArnC
Swabeck, district organizer, were not
altogether reliable so far as counting
Communist votes was concerned. In
fact he charges that. AT least five to
one Of all votes have been stolen" in
the state of Illinois. In spite of that
1892 votes We're credited in Illinois
and 9S7 in Indiana.
In proof he cites the reports of
fraud, previously published in the
DAILY WORKER, particularly from
Williamson county. where the Ku
Klux Khan and the declarations Of
martial law by Governor Small re-
suited in blocks of votes being stolen
according to reports Of Workers Party
members. 1t would indeed be strange
if Communist votes were not stolen.
Stealing Was Successful.
Comrade Swabeck says, in addition,
"A number of our poll watchers in
Chicago also reported attempts made
right at the counting to steal our
votes, in many instances the stealing
became successful"
In Illinois the presidential vote for
Foster was 2,e22; for senator, Com.
rade Engdahl got 2,61S; for governor,
Comrade William +. Dunno got 1929;
for lieutenant governor, John Watt re-
ceived 1910; for secretary of state,
Comrade Loeb received 2,2S5; for rep.
resentative at large, Comrades Minor
and Hewitt received 1926 and 2.16O
votes respectively.
The remarkable, and even unusual
similarity between the votes OF the
presidential candidate and the other
candidates, looks very queer, almost
arbitrary, when we see how the vote
has varied in other states between
candidates.
Few Members In Indiana.
In Indiana, where 9S7 votes were re-
turned for Foster. II is accounted for
by the fact that the Workers Party
has few members In the state, and
those few mostly In Lake county, and
South Bend region. with one small
branch in Indianapolis and in Clinton.

LONDON, lee. 10.-The British and

over the war spoils now being taken

legal claim on reparations under the

The T. U. {. L. Strikes Hard.
This is the immediate result of the
publication Of manifesto Of the T. U.
e. L. Of the United States, the Next
can committee Of the Red Interna-
tionalof Labor Unions and the Pan
American Anti-Imperialist League.
This manifesto is creating a sensa-
ton in the labor movement and in
political circles as we'll.
The congress closed with a bitter
attack on the Communists by Luis N.
Morones, the "Gompers of Mexico,
who insisted that the Pan-American
Federation of Labor was not merely
a parliamentary body, but stood for
social and economic changes as well.
He begged that no one be deceived
by those who come masked as liber-
ators. but who were incompetent and
'insincere."
5egs Help for Sammy
He made a plea that the officials
Iof the federation, especially Gompers,
be defended against criticism. and as
serted that if in the future the critics
imposed upon the officials" these
critics should be expelled from the
congress. He did not mention the
Communists BY name. thus leaving the
road open to expel even non-Commun-

when their resolutions, asking for

against the savage Imperialism of the
United States government and the

A Reason Six Months Long.
The delegate from Santo Domingo
protested against this treatment, and
wanted action against the American
dictatorship. He said he had served
six monhs in prison merely for say

was not evacuation, but annexation.

as those asking that the Pan-Ameri-
van federation demand the abolition
of the death penalty for labor organ
izers and their torture in the prisons

natives under American control.
The Guatemalan delegate protested
that referring these resolutions to the
executive committee, meant that they
were practically rejected, they would
sleep in the archives of Gompers.

RECLAMATION BILL
FAILS IN The HOUSE

Washington, D. C.-The house Sat
urday refused to accept senate amend
ments to the deficiency appropriation
bill carrying an aggregate OF more
than s6,000,O0O for six irrigation and
reclamation projects in the west.
The measure would afford relief to
settlers on reclamation projects and
provide for the establishment of a
bureau of reclamation in the interior
department and a readjustment of
water charges, which would be based
on the average estimated crop value
extended over period of years.
The six projects specified in the
amendments to which the house OBJ
jected were North Platte, Wis, $780,
600; Spanish Springs, New, 100000;
Salt Lake basin, Utah; S1,5O0,0O0;

CONGRESS ADJOURNS
SIX MONTHS SESSION
Much Important Legislation In
Guiding Farm Measures
Fall to Pass.

Washington, D. C.-Congress ended
its six months session In an atmos-
phere of controversy and turmoil char
acteristic of the bitter dissension
which has marked its proceedings
from the start.
Western senators and representa-
tives in the final hours of the'session
fought and lost a desperate fight for
legislation to relieve the farmer and
to reform the reclamation policy of
the government.
Many other measures, including the
bill authorizing construction Of eight
new cruisers and modernization Of
battleships and the deficiency appro-
priation bill carrying funds to begin
operation of the bonus law and for
many other purposes, failed in the
final crush of legislation when the
session ended.
Farm legislation, embodied in half
a dozen measures which we're put into
shape early in the session, failed of
enactment, although efforts were con-
tinued for it up to the last hour.
Likewise, no railroad legislation of
great importance was placed on the
statute books. This legislation, how
ever, and much other was put into
position where 1t can be taken up at
the next session with much of the
work of hearings and Investigations
completed
Muscle Shoals, question which has
been in the forefront now for many
months, once more went over for set
Element at the December session.
One important factor in the work
Of the session was the balance of
power held by the insurgent group
headed by Senator La Toilette, repub.
lican, Wisconsin. Joining with the
democrats, 1t seated a democrat, Sen
ator Smith, South Carolina, as the
head of the senate interstate COM
merce committee. In the house, again
joining with the democrats, 1t forced a
revision of the rules.

as nimbly as he could at seventeen.
"Don't think because you live in an
age of airplsnes you know all about
hygiene" he declared. your grand
mothers were no fools"
Bald heads were much scarcer, Sir
James asserted. In the days when men
wore nightcaps In damp climate

necessary as clothes. Warming pans,
likewise, aid the health of the sleeper

Che Whu
Of
Superstitions
BY II lRDlNG KING
DROPPING THE DIsHCLoTH

TF A woman drops her dishrag 1t Is
= Sign that company Is coming
This superstition Is general in the
United States and Canada. In certain
sections of the South they add that
"some one is coming hungry" and In
Maine they say that II the dishcbth
spreads out upon falling the visitor
will be woman; If 1t falls in heap,
4 man. But these are "frills" to the
general mystic meaning Of the dropped
dishrag. This superstition is analogous
to that regarding the dropping of a
knife which has the same significance
Ia feminine version Of it. as it were.
Our barbarian ancestors of northern
Europe personified their swords,
named them and came to regard their
weapons upon whose faithfulness their
lives daily depended, as something In
the nature of superhuman companions.
Thus the 'self-unscabbarded" sword or
dagger warned of the approach Of
stranger and all strangers were "prima
facie" enemies In those days. From
that we get the superstition Of the
dropped knife and have progressed so
far in civilization that we say "visi-
tors" instead of enemies"
In the conception of our ancestors
the dishclOth was to the woman what
the sword was to the mana constant
and main standby affiliated
to It's owner by the sympathetic magic
of contact. In Scott's Lady of the
Lake" the sword Of Douglas fell crash
ng to the floor at the approach of
King James. Had Dame Margaret
Douglas dropped her "dishcloth" the
'ignifcation would have been the same.
This belief Of warning of the APP
roach Of strangers conveyed by the
elf-unscabbarded sword or dagger
4 which the dropped dishrag super
tition Is an offshoOt-retained It's
riginal form In scope down to COM
aratively recent times and is today
'ideiy diffused throughout Europe and
merica In the modified form of popu-
lr superstition.
