TO BIC BIZ
Rotarians, Rabbits and
Legion to Rule


HERRIN, ILL.,, Feb. 49,
Herrin is no longer ruled by the
Ku Klux Klan. That task is
now assumed by the Chamber
of Commerce. Major General
Milton Foreman went to Herrin
ostensibly to restore law and
order.
What he actually accom-
plished was to organize the
bankers and business men and
some labor officials, whose
names are kept a secret for OBJ
vious reasons with a view to
deposing the regularly elected
officials of Williamson County,
and establish a dictatorship of
the so-called "non-partisan"
elements under the leadership
of the American Legion.
The work of the Ku Klux Khan
was IOO CTuue. ne new regime IS
expected to function more smoothly
and effectively but more detrimental
to the interests of organized labor.
Young Not Arrested.
The militia took no action against
the Ku Klux Khan which violated the
law in assuming dictatorial power in
Herrin, and threw its officials in Jail.
s. Glenn Young, Khan brigand, was
disarmed. He still remains in Will
hanson County and tho he is in
dicted his arrest is not yet reported.
Only one battalion Of troops Is
now left on the scene. The Chicago
militia men left today.
Khan Volunteer Law Upholdersi
The decision to withdraw the
troops was arrived at after Judge r.
N. Bowed announced that on his own
initiative he had decided to call
special grand jury on March Bird, TO
fix culpability for the riots. The
American Legion, Klansmen and anti
Klansmen alike. agreed to offer
themselves ss deputy bailiHs to the
court. The business elements are
stepping on each others heels in
their hurry to get on the Chamber
Of Commerce bandwagon.

will run the organization until the
next Congress.
Miller Represents Government.
Dean Miller will sit on the tenn
porary governing body of seven, so
the too-respectable, negative policy is
in danger of continuing until the
next congress which may not be
called for year. Dean Miiler's
policy is one that reflects the Negro
policy of the government. He is pro-
fessor of sociology at Howard Uni
versity, government subsidized in
stitution at Washington, D. C. Work
ing with him are the most conserva-
tive elements in the Race-exploiters
of labor and professional men who
cater to white capitalists or gain by
the maintenance of the policy of seq
regation.
The committee of seven will func-
ton until the next congress which
will be elected by all Negro organi-
cations that wish to Join. Each ma
tional organization will be allowed
five delegates, with an additional one
for every $4,000 members; and state
organizations will be represented at
decreased rate. The final shape
Of the new constitution is being

mands that the Negro press
give its full cooperation in
educating Negro workers to
the need of organization.
Machine Revising Labor Report.
At the last moment, before The
DAILY WORKER went to press, it
was discovered that Dean Kelly Mil
ler's appointed committee on "Per-
manent Results" was attempting to
revise the labor program and that
its revision would not be submitted
to the Sanhedrin.
It is not believed, however, that
the most important feature will be
stricken out.
The Workers Party educational pro-
gram calling for a constitutional
amendment forbidding any segrega-
ton of races will be accepted in
modified form by the education COM
mittee, but it's findings will also go
before the committee for Permanent
Results.
Real Estate Sharks Oppose.
Influence of real estate sharks of
the Negro race appears to have
killed the most vital clause in the
workers report on housing which at
tacks the segregation evil by de-
manding that all landlords be COM
PEELED to let their houses to the
first conner, regardless of race, at
listed prices. Final copies Of the
resolutions as modified by the Com
mittee on Permanent Results, will
be printed in the next issue of The
DAILY WORKER if they are ready
then.
Labor Will Force Issue.
Negro labor will continue TO func-
ton in the All Race movement to force

and farmers who represent 90 per
cent Of the Race--howeve much this

Miller and the business men Of the
Race working with him.

Is being written. Seven men will be

manent results and these seven men

LADIES' GARMENT
WORKERS GETTING
READY TO STRIKE
"Take Back Expelled
Membership" Demand

A strike committee of seven has
been elected by local 100, comprising
the Dress and Skirt Makers of the
international Ladies Garment Work
ers' Union, to set a date for a
walkout in Chicago, if the final over
lures made by the union to the bosses
are rejected.
Strike talk along Market Street
had filled Wicker Park Hall, with
local 100 members who manifested
an intense interest in the possible
battle against the arrogance of the
employers who have fatty refused to
discuss any change in the present
unsatisfactory agreement which ex-
pires on Monday, February 10.
Report was made upon efforts to
secure additional concessions from
the organized employers, who are
only small section of the trade.
Employers are to be classified in
three groups; firstly, eleven large
firms that organized in an associa-
ton which had signed the expiring
agreement; secondly. forty or fifty
firms which had signed agreements
individually with the union and third
ly, the non-union shops.
... Union Overtures Rejected.
After letters warning of the ex-
piring agreement had been sent to
the first and second groups, the first
groups association representatives
and attorney had held two confer
ences with the international Ladies'
Garment Workers representatives on
Feb. 8 and 10, both without results
owing to the overbearing attitude Of
the associations spokesman, par
ticularly its lawyer. in refusing even

FACED BY
GIANT TIEUP
One Million DOGkOTS Threaten
Strike Today
Especial to The Daily wsrker)

LONDON, Feb. 15.-One
million dock workers prepared
today to quit work tomorrow
and tie up every port in the
United Kingdom unless a last
minute settlement cancels the
strike order.
Scenes at the huge docks of
the port of London at daybreak
were of unprecedented activ-
lty, as shipping companies
speeded efforts to clear cargoes
before the impending paralysis
OF transports should set in.
Seek to Break Deadlock.
Dock workers executives and en-
ployers were in conference seeking
to break the deadlock that has ex-
listed since Feb. 1.
The threatened strike is national
In scope. 1t was voted at a meeting
OF national delegates representing
the Transport and General Workers
Union, 100000 members) the Ma
tional Union of General Workers
(443,0O0), the National Amalga-
mated Union of Labor (170, 0oO) !,
United Order of General Laborers.
(150,000), Amalgamated Society of
Enginemen, Motormen, Electricians,
etc., (4O,000) and other similar or
CARNATIONS.
Demand Wages Restored.
The mems complaint is that wages,
since 1920, have fallen from Is
shillings a day in the large ports
and Is shillings day in the small
ports, to 10 shillings and 9 shillings
respectively.
They ask reversion to the former
rates and a guaranteed week.
In the larger British ports today
there are more workers than jobs.
Consequently the men line up at
dawn and foreman picks in order
the number he needs for the day.

Too Many Motors

Editor of Putnam Patriot. Dear Sir:-May l have an inch or two in your valuable paper Co register my complaint against Putnam mer- chants and their employees parking their ears all day long on Main street. preventing us out-of town people fmany times) from finding a conven- tent place Co leave our cars while We do eur shopping
 Of course. the streets are free and anyone can park on them. Merchants have perfect right to park their ears in front of their establishments or Tn front of some one else's. So have their clerks. There Is no argument on this score.
 Count up the number of business men who have cars and park them along Main street every day. most of them throughout business hours. Quite number of them. isn't that 90? And do they not occupy great deal of parking space? They sure do The result Is that when there are numerous shoppers in town, parking space convenient to stores is not to be ! had But if merchants and their clerks thought about us shoppers. would they not leave their cars around the corner or at some point not far 1 distant. and leave Main street for we shoppers to leave our machines while We spend our money in their stores and therefore help them buy gas for their ears?
 Putnam merchants are fair and reasonable, and for this reason l hope you will print my letter so they may read It and think 1t over. If they conclude that l am not unreasonable, they will find other parking places for us shoppers and we will all be hap | pier and better oil
 Yours sincerely.

During Lincoln's administrator b
contended with the most intrieate
problems Of the nation. solvabls only
by such q man rs he.
Lincoln foremost policy wac that
Of preserving the nation. He realix-
ed that slavery should either be entire
ly abolished or made constitutional in
all America. He saw the need and
cause for abolishment Of slavery but
he also realized it was a problem in
volving untold conflicts. At South
Carolina's secession from the Union,
many people censured Lincoln for not
telling her to remain Independent. But
his intellect informed him that the
nation must be preserved. He made
the remark that body could live
with a leg amputated, but that leg
could not live with the body amputat-
ed from it.
The Civil War was one of the
worst blots in the history Of America,
but at the same time it created the
growth of free country.
It was difficulties of civil strife and
thousands Of peculiar trials laid BY
their side that the father Of our coun-
try met day after day with such sim
plicity and genius.
During his first term Of office Lin
coin delivered his famous Gettysburg
address, and issued his famous doc
trine, "The Emancipation Proclama-
tion," two of the greatest scripes Of
literature.
Before his final notice of reelection
to the presidential chair, Lincoln re-
marked: "If a president should adopt
the wrong policy. the opportunity to
condemn him would occur in four
years time. Then" he added can
be turned out and better man with
better views be in my place.
But the people were satisfied and
he again filled the presidents chair.
March 4, 1866, but in the eyes Of God
he had given enough to our country.
Lincoln bore the presidents duty for
q little over q month in the second
term when he visited "Ford's Thea
ire, Washington, to relieve his mind
of incessant cares. While greatly in
terested in the presentation Of the
play, "Our American Cousin" Wilkes
Booth, an actor and tyrant Of the
South, shot Lincoln in the head, inn
mediately rendering him unconscious,
and he never knew friends or pain
again.
Our noble president was laid to rest
beneath the right concaye of the capi-
tol.
"My captain does not answer, his lips
are pale and still,
My father does not feel my arm, he
has nor pulse nor will;
The ship is anchored safe and sound,
its voyage closed and done,
The fearful trip, the victor ship comes
in with object won;
Exult o shore, and ring o bells! but I
with mournful tread,
Walk the deck, my captain lies fallen
cold and dead"
