The Long, Long Trail

The DAILY WORKER has just finished publica-
ton of series of articles, exposing the career of
Frank Harrington, president of the Illinois Miners
Union, since his starting in as an official of local
union in Streator, Ill, until today
Many labor leaders, who later on in their lives,
turn traitor to the working Glass; at last start out
with good intentions and without the object of en-
riching themselves at the expense of their class.
But it appears that Harrington made up his mind
from the moment he landed the job of secretary in
local union, that he would make a bid for fame
and fortune at the expense of the coal miners He
carried out his intentions faithfully.
harrington stands today, perhaps, the leading
labor lieutenant of capitalism in the'state of Hi
nois. Industriay lined up with the coal operators
and politically with the unspeakable Ku Klux
Khan governor, Len Small, he presents menace to
the workers of this state and particularly to the
coal diggers, the proportions of which words are
inadequate to describe
The DAILY WORKER will not leave Earring
ton, with the publications of the last article in the
series "On the trail of labor faker" 1t will con-
tnue to expose his treachery and that of the large
army of his kind, that is bleeding the labor move
ment to death.
The elections for officers of District IL for the
next two years will take place the first week in
next December. 1t is a very important contest
and the prOgressives in the district are girding
their ioins for the struggle with Harrington and
his gang. The DAILY WORKER will follow the
activities among the Illinois Miners closely and the
coal diggers should avail themselves of the support

Something Under the Hat

Supreme Court Justice Ford of New York, re-
Gently delivered himself of a statement that will
cause furry among the judicial servants of CAPT
talism while presiding over case in which two
sets Of Russian clergymen are quarreling over
church property. certain John S. Kedrovsky
claimed that he holds an appointment from the
Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox church to
GUST Metropolitan Pleaton from ST Nicholas cath
edral, New York. KedrOvsky testified that he rep
resented the Living Church of Russia which showed
the Metropolitan the gate.
During the hearing, Justice Ford, evidently irri-
tated at the efforts of the Metropolitan's counsel
to associate the word Soviet with horror delivered
himself as follows
my hat does not blow off whenever the word
Soviet is used. The present government of Russia
is one of the most interesting experiments ever
attempted and instead Of this senseless abuse by
wholesale, we ought to study it carefully and sci
entifcally and see whether there are not some les
sons in it for us.
THE prestnt Russian government is the out
growth of a system long extant The Soviets are
councils. While Russia was in the war they sup
piled the bone and sinew with which to carry on
the war"
Such expressions of opinion from the bench are
extremely The word Soviet once caused
considerable dofing of hats and doffng of heads,
but the great powers of Europe while not taking
the same interest in the Russian experiment that
Justice Ford suggests Americans should take
recognize accomplished facts, and after warning
against the young Workers Republic for several
years. finally decided to take off their hats to the
Soviet.

party of the decrepit southern slavebreeding arts
tocracy, can gather sufficient courage even to
mount rostrum in Negro district, is beyond
our comprehension. 1t has been the party of Mr.
Davis in West Virginia and thruout the entire
south that has been the most outspoken and frank
est opponent of all attempts to grant the Negro
the faintest rights and opportunities even on
paper.
We recall speech delivered by Senator Owen Of
Oklahoma at the democratic convention. Speaking
in behalf of the Ku Klux Khan, the mawsh (might
as well stay home) senator assured his audience
that he was a friend of the Negroes, and in proof
of his friendship he said: "Why, I've had Negroes
serving me for forty years. Certainly, that shows
have nothing against the Negroes" This is the
exact meaning of all of Mr.. Davis ranting about
equality of opportunity for the Negroes Mr..
Davis joined hands with Mr.. Coolidge in forging
chains of oppression and exploitation for the
Negroes and the white workers as well. Mr..
Davis, in complete agreement with Messrs. Cool
idge and LaFollette, is running on platform
which aims to perpetuate an Industrial order based
on economic class divisions which serve as foun-
datiOn for race prejudice, lynching bees segrega
ton and Jim Crowism.
For more than half century the spokesman OF
the various capitalist parties have promised the
Negroes equality. During all this period the
Negroes have only been tied more firmly to the
chariot of their white and black capitalist exploit
ers.

THE THEATER
"coNsclENcE."-A Review
BY SYLVAN A. PoLLAcK

There is now playing at the Bel
mont Theater, New York, a play cal
led Conscience, by Don Mullaly,
which is wobbly love story.
The first and last acts are pure
theatrical hokum, but the other two
acts have some very interesting mo-
ments.
The story is about a member of the
!. w. w. in the state of Washington
who falls in love with and marie
a young waitress who has no con
cepdon of unionism and who disap
proves most strongly Of her hus
bands strike activities.
We find him leading an unsuccess
full strike, in which all the workers,
except one other and himself are
taken back. The bosses agents try
to make him leave the l. w. w. by
talking to his wife, but he sees thru
this trick of the corporation.
AS his money gets low, he leaves
on a wobbly-run freight train for Butte,
Mont, promising to write his wife reg
ularly and send for her as soon as he
obtains a job. For while his letters
are on time but latter they suddenly
stop. sflFw
We find the wife and her girl friend
in the company of various gentle
men" at the rate Of a new one every
week or so.
After not writing for three months
the wobbly sends his wife letter that
he has a job and that he wants her
to come to him, to which she an
swers that she is through with him
for good.
He hurridly returns to Washington
and finds his wife entertaining one
of her gentlemen" friends in his
home and making preparations to
leave 1t for ever with him.
After hustling the gentleman"
out, he tells his wife he will forgive
her. He explains that the reason he
did not write, was because he was
picked up on a freight train and was
sentenced to ninety days in jail on
a charge Of vagrancy, and that he
wrote her regularly and gave the
letters to the keeper to mail, which
he apparently did not do.
She refuses to come back to him
and in a it of anger he chokes her
and quickly runs away m
There are many interesting parts In
the play which is very capably acted.
References to economics and religion
are very well presented.
In spite OF its minor defects. II is
we'll worth seeing.

In his address delivered to the Negroes of New
York. Alr. John w. Davis pledged himself to "equal
opportunity" for the colored people.
This is threadbare promise. 1t is typical Of
the golden pledges and leaden performances of our
employing class politicians The democratic
standard bearer assured his Negro audience that
he is for the fifteenth amendment. OF course, Mr.
Davis spared adjectives to convince his listen
ers that he is ardent believer in the doctrine of
political equality. With New York state being
practically the pivotal point in Mr.. Davis presi-
Dental fortunes, we would not be surprised to find
the democratic candidate being even more lavish
in his promises.
We admire the brazen effrontery of Mr.. Davis.

LaFollette has forgotten all about government

supreme court. He has toned down his attacks on
the use of injunctions in labor disputes. But the

Symphony Gives
Big Program In
Third Concert
Hv Altered v. FRANKENsrEIN.

Memories of Childhood" by
Charles Martin Loeffler of Boston, the
composition that won the prize at the
North Shore music festival last May,
was played by the Chicago Symphony
orchestra on the third program of the
year. When the work was played at
Evanston in the spring the program
Of it appeared in these columns, but
lit is not amiss to quote it again:
The composers memory of life in
a Russian village-old Russia, with
its folk songs and dances, the chants
of the orthodox church, the fairy
tales, the pageantry of death; above
all. the composers memory Of a
great friend, an elderly peasant,
poet"
Loeffler makes good the program in
brilliant fashion, There is one pas
sage where the four solemn horn
players of the orchestra play four
frisky mouth organs.
Brahms Symphony Beautiful.
The second symphony Of Brahms
preceded the Loeffler work. When
Brahms wrote a symphony he squeez-
ed all the juice available out Of his
themes. The themes themselves are
invariably beautiful, of that deep, mys.
teal and profound sort characteristic
of the composer. But the extensive,
scholarly, obviously labored develop
ment of them, gives the impression of
being the production of a man of in
finite skill, not, as in the case of the
Beethoven and ChaykovsH sympho-
MES, the production of a man of in
finite inspiration.
Following were the two nocturnes
for orchestra by Debussy. Debussy
had an extraordinary gift for the writ.
ing Of apt titles and descriptive para.
graphs. This is what he says Of
these nocturnes:
"Clouds-The unchanging aspect
of the sky, and the slow, solemn
movement of the clouds, dissolving
in gray tints, lightly touched with
white.
"Festivals-The restless, dancing
rhythm OF the atmosphere. inter-
spersed with sudden flashes OF light.
There is also an incidental proces-
sion "a dazzling imaginary vision)
passing thru and thru and mingIing
with the aerial reverie; but tho(
background Of uninterrupted feyti
val is persistent with its blending of
music and luminous dust partici-
pating in the universal rhythm Of all
times"
In the second nocturne Is an "A.
founding cymbal part. A tremendous
variety OF effects is produced with
them, and the brass plates are raised
to a solo position. -
RaveI's waltz" Disappointing.
Another modern French work. "TbH
Waltz" by Maurice Ravel, which "a
described as photographic p6em.e
closed the program. "The WaItzv Is
much ado about nothing. There is d
lot Of noise. Several times during the
piece the composer seems about ready
to give us waltz, at the end he

San Jose, Cal-Drlven by fear that
she had failed In her final examina-
lions, pretty Miss Ina Sarah Lutz,
twenty-one-year-old student of the
State Teachers college, shot herself
in the head and died, while a letter
telling she had passed her examina-
lions was in the postman's bag.
The girl had failed one examina-
ton last winter, after she had been
attending the college for two and 4
half years. She was reinstated, given
another chance, and she was taking
her final test.
For several mornings she had been
rising at three o'clock to cram with
facts before she entered the days ex-
animation Her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
David Lutz, heard her moving about
in her room. At five o'clock they
heard a shot.
Reused from sleep, the girls father
ran to her room and found her lying
in a pool of blood. her books, papers
and notes by her body. She died q
short time later. On the morning de-
livery of mail the postman brought
letter from the college, telling the girl
she had passed her tests.
