Ole Hanson Is Now
Flim-hamming Folks
In Oakland, Calf

OAKLAND, Cal. April IT. The
Oakland Chamber of Commerce has
given a luncheon in honor Of a new
and distinguished resident of the city
none other than the famous Ole
Hanson, who entertained his hosts
with the well-worn story of how he
put down the great Seattle R-r-revolu-
ton.
Hanson will follow in the steps of
Mr.. George F. Babbitt and occupy
himself as realtor in Oakland. It
is understood, however, that as a side
line he will be used in criminal syn
dcalism cases to supplement the eff
forts Of professional stool pigeons
like Coutts, Townsend and Dimond.
Ole has just come from Los An
geles, where he wore out his welcome
in three short years. His big real es-
tate operations there went fiat at the
end-too many other sharks in the
business.
One Of his greatest failures was his
Washington state attempt, several
years ago, to unload lot of worthless
logged-off land on returned soldiers
whom he expected to pay his annual
installments for the privilege of pull
ing out stumps.

Bosses Judge Aids
With Injunction Against
Retail Clerks Union

An injunction preventing the Inter-
national Protective Association Re-
tail Clerks, Local 1876 from picketing
was issued today by Judge Charles
M. Foell, upon application Of
Assey Brothers Cloak House. Accord
ing to the injunction, and to. the
judge granting it, strike is no
longer an attempt of underpaid work
ers to secure economic justice but is
some sort of a conspiracy.
The INDUCTION granted by Foell,
who is now trying the garment
strikers on similar picketing in
junction, if enforced, prevents the
strikers retail clerks from picketing,
from striking, from talking to scabs,
or from in any way obeying the in
structions Of their union which the
injunction constructs as "A conspi-
racy to ruin business"
The Injunction states that the re-
tail clerks were advised by their
union to call a general strike, and
formed union for that purpose .
Oscar Nelson appeared for the retax
clerks union.
The Assey Brothers have two
stores which are unfair to organized
labor, one known as the Liberty cloak
and Suit House at 1895 Halsted st.
and the other at 1925 Halsted St. The
Retail Clerks Union has been picket
ing these two stores vigorously.

Trachtenberg Tells
Ohio Workers About
Russia And Germany

WARREN, Ohio, April 17.-Alexan.
der Trachtenberg's meeting here was
worth hearing. The Russian govern
ment is so powerful, he said, that
there is no chance whatsoever to
overthrow it.
They are now succeeding in orga-
mixing all industries, he said. UnskilI-
ed workers have been trained and
Russia's industries are able to export
goods to other countries.
Industries provide funds for a So
cial Insurance. which takes care of
workers who are unemployed and
sick and gives medical help for those
who need It.
Every worker has a chance to have
2 weeks rest. He is then taken to
Rest Home, where he can rest per-
fectly without financial troubles on
HIS mind, etc.

LETTER OF EDITOR

coLoNcE, March Fl, 1924.
Dear Comrades:
Here is another example Of how
British generals protect the Social
Democrat Macdonald from commu-
mist criticism.
To-day ] was ordered before the
British local commandant, who in
formed me that our paper would
be suppressed for ten days from
March rs. No ground was given. The
commandant further declared that
the SozlalistIsehe Republlk would
be suppressed for three months on
account Of the enclosed article.
Criticism Of the Social Democrat
Macdonald is an insult to the Brit
ish Government and danger to the
British occupation.
The ten days suppression Is deli.
berately intended to prevent our
voice reaching the miners in the
Ruhr miners struggle, which be-
gins on April I. The three months
suppression is intended to make US
powerIess In the electoral campaign.
The British military authorities are
trying to use the three volumes of
ordinances Of the Inter-aIied High
Commission against the commu-
nists, so that the effect of the estate
OF emergency" shall be left even
without the suppression of the Com
munist Party, altho they could not
succeed in securing the suppression
Of the Party.
Captain Welton Informed me some
weeks ago that the British authori-
ties wished for a victory of the
centre parties in the COMING cleo
tons, the SooiaI-Democrats and the
clerical Centrum" and were doinu
everything to make such a victory
possible.
With Communist Greetings, S.
FAIL, Editor, Die SozIaIistIsehe Re-
pubIik.
All protests to the Macdonald 20
vernment have brought no results-an,
the paper is still forced to come on
as an illegal organ.
The attitude Of the british Occu
patton Authorities towards the Ger
man workingclass has not changed To-
the better since the Macdonald gov
eminent has been in power and Il
anything they are harsher in thei
treatment Of strikes and demonstra
lions.

Chicago Music Fans
Again Hear Worlds
Greatest Pianist
BY ALFRED v. FRANKENsTEIN.

by ALI HE'D " : hANN EMO Elm
Beethoven's seventh symphony oc-
cupied most Of the first part of the
Chicago Symphony orchestra concert
at Orchestra Hall last Friday and
Saturday There is scarcely another
symphonic work in the whole range
of musical literature which has so
much beautiful melody to the square
inch of score as this one. Richard
Wagner called it the "apotheosis of
the dance, the dance deifled." Surely
no more graceful and appealing dance
tunes ever found their way into sym
phonic literature.
Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler, Chicago
pianist, played the Moskowski con-
certo with the orchestra. The Mos
kowsh concerto was first heard in
Chicago in 1907, when Mrs. Zeisler
played it with the Chicago orchestra.
Since then much has changed. Mrs
Zeisler added triumphs to her al
ready successful career, until now
she is known as the foremost woman
pianist of America. The Chicago
orchestra established itself, and now
the firmest founded symphony orches-
ira in America. Moskowski lost his
luck, and is spending his last days
in sickness and poverty.
Mere Technic.
The concerto alone remains un-
changed, and this is almost as great
a shame as that its illustrious com.
poser should be forced to live as he
does. 1t stacks up as about the worst
composition heard this season of
symphony brilliance. 1t does so, but
there is no music in the process, only
endless, tuneless, unsteady worthless
technical display. There is a good
beer garden tune in the lost move
bent, but that is soon lost in the gen.
eral confusion Of foolish noise.
This in no way disparages Mrs.
zeisler's ability. She played six en-
cores In the brilliant style that has
won her reputation. Her performance
Of Fritz Kreisler's "Leibesfreud" had
a Viennese spirit and dash second
only to the Interpretation of the COM
poser.
Edward Cigars overture, "Cock-
raigne," work descriptive of Lon
don, opened the program. It is
light and tuneful gentleman's Lon
don, that does not compare with viii.
liams' London symphony.
A work played for the first time in
America was Perinello's tone poem,
'The Dying Swan" 1t is good water
music, in the French impressionist
style, but somewhat hurt by an over
sentimental title.
Islam and Christianity will share
most of next weeks symphony pro-
gram, the next to the last Of the sea-
son. Rimsky-Korsakoff' "Scherezade"
suite, four tone poems based on the
Arabian Nights, will be played, and
three excerpts from Wagner's "Par-
sifal." Beethoven's second 'Leonore"
overture and Ernest Seedlings
bloody tone poem, "A Victory Ball."
will round out the program.

BRIT TROOPS HALT
RHINELAND PRESS
OF COMMUNISTS
Protest to MacD Donald
Has No Effect
Especial to The Daily worker)

COLONGE, Germany, March 21.--
(By Mail, Delayed in Transmission
The Communist daily here, The So
cialist Republic, has been suppressed
by the British occupation authorities.
The first period Of suppression was
for a period of ten days and the last
for three months.
The reason given for the suppress
sion was the following editorial en-
titled Macdonald Protects White
Guard Spies.":
At the request Of the Pope, Mac
Donald has turned to the Soviet Co
eminent with an appeal for the inn
prlsoned Catholic priests. These
priests are in prison as white
Guards and Polish spies. This Is
ground enough for Macdonald as
Social Democrat to intervene on
their behalf.
Why does not MacDonaId's SYM
pathetic heart urge him to lntercede
on behalf of the thousands of poll
ticaI prisoners in Italy and Ger
many? It Is because the interests
Of the British bourgeoisie are close
ly linked with German and Italian
reaction? Besides, Ebert is Mac
DonaId's friend.
What would Macdonald say If the
Soviet Government were to request
him to amnesty the champions of
national freedom Of ireland and In
ola, who are Ianeulshlng In British
IaiIs2 Would he not rage at such
"BoIshevik propaganda"
The editor of the suppressed paper
has written the following letter to
the Communist Party Of Great Britain
and the British Communist Party has
protested to Premier Macdonald re-
ceiving in reply letter from his Sec
rotary stating that the premier was
"obliged for information"

ILLINOIS FACTORY
JOBS DECREASE
BY SIS Per CENT
Autos, Clothing and
Building Affected
BY LELAND oLDs,

Federated Press Industrial Editor.
Employment in Illinois factories
during March was 3.6 per cent below
March, 1923, according to the month
ly report Of the Illinois department
of labor. March, which is normally a
month of seasonal expansion failed
to register any gain as compared
with February. A sharp reduction in
weekly earnings was also reported
due to extensive part-time operation.
The report contrasts last years
booming labor market in which
shortage Of workers was the domi-
nant note with the present situation.
In March, 1928, the state free en-
ployment agencies were asked to
supply 25,640 workers while this
March less than half that number
were called for.
Autos, Clothing, Fall of.
The list of industries which have
failed to show the usual seasonal ex-
pansion includes building, manufac-
ture of automobiles, automobile ac-
cessories and clothing. The curtail-
ment in these industries is affecting
others indirectly because diminished
for goods.
Improvement in the weather is ex-
pected to increase employment on
building and road construction altho
the building construction cleared
thru municipal building offices in the
principal cities of the state since
November 1 is below that of a year
asO-s1SO, 100000 worth instead of
$155, 100000.
Slight Gain In Steel.
Thirty-three of the 54 industries CO.
vered by the report indicated expan-
sion while 81 curtailed operations.
The most substantial gain was re-
ported by the large iron and steel en-
ployers who added 4 per cent to their
working forces. Oil refiners reported
considerable gains and manufactures
Of knit goods added nearly 10 per
cent to the number on their peyrolls.
On the other hand employment in
the mems clothing industry declined
"a per cent, in women's clothing 7.3
per cent and at the stockyards 6.2
per cent.
The average weekly earnings Of all
factory workers amounted to $27.61,
a decrease Of rs cents compared with
February. These earnings are still
$178 (61s per cent? above those of
March, 1923. The range OF mems
wages was from $2O.69 to STATS with
an average of 5000, that of women
from $1O.97 to $27.64 with an average
of s17.6S.
Summarizing the situation the report
says: Unless there is an abrupt
change in the underlying industrial
situation it appears that not a few
farm hands who were attracted to
the cities by expanding industry will
soon be returning to the farm. The
farmer should have less cause to
complain Of an inadequate supply
than one year ago.
