NewY Workers needn't put on
metropolitan airs any more when
they come to Washington to testify
in graft Investigations and such.
For Gotham is no longer tha
whole show as a big city that does
big things IL a big way.
New York swelled up with pride a
week ago when a 90-foot steel truss,
weighing 80 tons, was installed in a
new picture theater being built at
Broadway and SD street.
"The biggest piece of steel ever
put into building in the United
States" the big city boosted.
Washington, however, elbows this
record into second place with the
installation of a 100-foot girder,
weighing AZ tons, in the new Cos
mopolitan Theater being built across
from Kosciusko Square. And, for
the present, at least, NewYork will
please take a back seat when it
comes to the capital.

One of the neatest ways of get
ting around civil service require
merits in legislating for employees in
government departments and bu-
reaus is to provide for the hiring
of experts"
Experts" of course, might rea
sOnably be expected to be able to
pass civil service examinations in
the branches in which they are ex-
pert. But Congress usually speci-
fies that experts" may be appoint
ed outside the civil service lists.
Now comes William Dudley
Foulke, president of the National
Civil Service Reform League, charg
ir,g that this exemption is provided
for political rather than practical OF
scientific purposes.
The positions ostensibly provided
for experts" Foulke charges are
used to accommodate political ap
pointees.
"In the Veterans Bureau alone,
he says, hundreds of political ap
pointments were made under the
title of special expert"
Records will show, Foulke con
tends, that the extent of graft arc
maladministration in government
bureaus, as disclosed by investiga
lions, follows closely the extent t.
which these political experts" are
included in the personnel.
Having passed the rever ue, bonus
and immigration bills over to thu
Senate, the House, through it
Judiciary Committee, has final!
taken up consideration of the 10t
bills proposing modification of tht
Volstead act.
There's no CHARGE of modiflca
ton legislation at this session, bu
much medicine will be made fo
use in the coming campaign.

(By INC Federnted Pre,.l

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Presi-
dent Coolidge has discovered the
Northern Pacific lands fraud case,
and has written Chairman Lenroot
of the senate public lands committee
that he hopes all necessary action
will be taken to protect the public
interest. Once more, nothing is
heard from his attorney general,
Harry Daugherty.
The forest land grab covers g.
100000 acres of valuable forest
lands claimed as part of its original
grant from the government by the
first of the Hill reads. The records
of the government show that the full
amount of the original grant of lands
which sold for about two and a
half times the total cost of the road
have been given to the company.
Congress was heavily bribed, in the
Civil war period, to give away these
public lands to railroad promoters.
The Union Pacific crowd we're the
first to get a princely domain from
Congress. They CREASED" their bill

ing the battle of Gettysburg, when
the attention of the country was fixed
on the fact that the Confederacy had
been broken.

Why Not Put the
Capitalist System
Out of Business?

SEATTLE, March 3.--Echoes Of
the Teapot Dome scandal were heard
across the continent in addresses
before the Seattle Central Labor
council when T. C. Robbins, repre-
sentative of the railway employees
department, American Federation
Of Labor, appealed to workers to
clean out reactionaries in the ma
tional administration.
Edwin DENLY, dcposed cabinet
member, promised railway employers
at the height Of the shipments strike
that even the navy, if possible, would
be used TO help break the walkout
by aiding in transporting goods be-
tween coastal cities, Robbins de-
clared. II. M. Daugherty, attorney
general whose fall is believed immin-
emit, struck a black blow at labor in
his permanent injunction against the
shopmen.
The Esch- Cummins act repeal is
the acid test Of candidates for con-
gress, Robbins told the council. The
railway labor board has to be put
out Of business If the railway broth
erhoods are to survive.

rade is now convinced that language
difficulties are not such serious bar
riers to getting subs after all. He is
out for more.
The John Reed Branch Of the
Young Workers League is leading
in the contest for the Y. w. l..

Branch are sure that the Nicolai
Lenin Branch is not the one to get
the picture Of the recently deceased
leader whose name it bears. Going
out for subs for the DAILY WORK

subs for the Young Worker and
Young Comradc, is method which
can be pursued and give good re-
suits.
Chicago is not complaining about

necessary to put on full time City

AC Conversation

"Why is the Third international Sc
hated and maligned?"
Because it stands for centraliza-
ton, direction, discipline, and or
ganic unity"
"Then how does it differ from the
Second international?
Exactly as the Communist Party
differs from a Socialist Party"
"But I don't know what the diff
ference is between the two parties. ("
"Let me explain the difference.
The Socialist Party is a debating
society, a loose organization where
one can obtain pleasing bourgeois
entertainment, only it is decorated
with radical plumes in order to make
it seem different, make it seem rev.
olutionary."
"Well, if people are not ready for
the real thing, an imitation of it is
perfectly alright"
1T is evident that you still have
the Second international idetSogy.
There is no short road to Commune
ism. You can't fool people into it.
Half, measures are worse than use
less. They must understand what
the really revolutionary spirit is. It
seems that you, too, need little
enlightenment in that line"
"But how, where, can / find out
just what is the function of the Third
international? How it differs from
the second, and so on. Recommend
me some book"
"There is no book, no good book
on that subject published But you
can find out about it."
''Find out about it? What do you
mean? Where?"
"For the first time in the United
States are lectures given not only
on the functions Of the Third, but
also on the Second and First Inter-
nationals"
"But where?"
"At the Workers. School, 127
University Pl., New York City"
"And who is the lecturer?'
Ludwig Lore, editor Of the Volks-
zeitung."
"What time does he give it,"
"He gives lectures each Thursday
at 8 p. m. You had better come to
hear him and bring your friends
along"
"What school is that"
"The Workers School-whose sole
purpose it is to give real communist
education"
"This is the first time l have
heard of it. / certainly will come
Thursday night. Goodbye"

Right to Picket Is
Issue in Trial of
40 Shoe Workers

NEW YORK, March 3.-Labor's
right to picket during a strike is
the issue on which ITO shoe workers
of Brockton, Mass, are resolved to
go to Jail in body if necessary in
connections with their trial on APP
peal before the Massachusetts, SUI
perior court. The men were arrest
ed during the shoe workers strike
last July, when the Brockton city
attorney ruled that picketing by
strikers is Illegal -A-...-
The Civil Liberties Union and the
Labor Defense Council announce that
they will grant full support to the
shoe workers in their legal struggle.
Apparently, the local authorities
decided that the -picketing de-
cree could not be sustained, so the
ITO laborers were arrested in tenuous
charges Of lettering, intimidation
and assault. Judge William Rowe
imposed Jail sentences ranging from
ten days to four months and fines
amounting to $4,000. A change of
venue was demanded during the first
trial on the plea that Judge Will
liam Rowe is brother of Frederick
Rowe, superintendent Of the Chester
Eaton shoe works, where the strike
had been called; it was further al
legged that Judge Rowe personally
held stock in that concern. The
change of venue was refused.
When the appeal is heard District
Attorney Williams, who prosecuted
the case against Sacco and Van
zetti, will represent the state.

SOVIET ENVOY
HALLS BRITISH
RECOG NITIO N
Russia Now Stands on
Equal Terms
BY LOUIS P: LOCHNER.

NStAn Correspondent OF Inc Federated PresS)
BERLIN, March 3.--Recognition
of Russia by the British Labor gov
eminent was hailed with satisfaction
at the Russian embassy here. A
prominent official of the embassy
made the following statement to the
Federated Press.
Recognition means that Russia
can now negotiate with Britain on
equal terms. People who try to pick
a flaw in the situation by pointing
out that long negotiations may yet
be ahead before an agreement is
reached simply don't know what they
are talking about. The Russian
point Of view has been turnout,
first recognize US, then negotiate
The Baldwin government wanted US
first to negotiate and then they
would say whether they would rec
ognize us. That would have put us
in an unfavorable position; we
should then not have been recognize
ed as equals in the negotiations.
"Others have tried to. interpret the
fact that for the present there won't
be an exchange of ambassadors, but
merely of charges d'affaires, as an
indication that, after all the recogni-
ton is not full one. These people,
again, simply don't know diplomatic
usage. No country sends an ambas-
sador to another until a so-called
agreement has been reached. Amer
lea, for instance, after the war took
up diplomatic relations again with
Germany, but no ambassador, was
sent until after a treaty regulating
all affairs had been established. That
did not mean that the two countries
continued their enmity. Americans
came to visit Germany, passports
were vised, and in general life be-
tween the two countries developed
as in pre-war times. The sendinf
Of an ambassador was merely a
question of time and formality.
'The same situation applies with
reference to British-Russian rela-
tions. The charge d'affaires will be
followed by an ambassador as soon
as the details have been settled.
British action will have a pro-
found influence upon other countries,
as has already happened in the case
Of Italy. We can now afford to
wait until France and America make
up their minds to climb onto the
loaded bandwagon."

Meeting to Limit
Families Coming
Despite Preachers

SYRACUSE, N. Y, March a.
Ministers of the gospel in Syracuse
disagree with the waggish fellow who
insists upon calling the baby carriage
a blunderbuss.
When it was announced recently
that the state conference of birth
control advocates would be held here,
meeting of clergymen demanded
that the city council pass a special
ordinance, prohibiting the discussion
Of birth control in public. The alder
men passed such a bill, but Mayor
Walrath vetoed it. An attempt to
pass the ordinance over the mayoral
veto was defeated by two votes. The
meeting will, accordingly, be held as
scheduled.
