Negro Writer Applies
CGstigdting Rod to
Lying TribIIne's Hide

The DAILY W0RKFR:--I sent
the following letter to the Chicago
Tribune.-Gordon Owens.
To the Chicago Tribune:-A few
days ago, informed an audience
that the Chicago Tribune would pub
lish a fake "Red" Negro propa-
ganda article in few days. By
reading the Tribune, Wednesday,
April 2, 1924, learn that my pro-
phecy has come true. Your dirty,
filthy, lying, lecherous, yellow CAPT
talist sheet contains on page IL,
Wednesday, April 2, 1924, a news
article, "Soviet Spreads Red Doc
trines Among Negroes supposed
to emanate from Washington, D. c.,
which in my opinion was concocted
in the distorted and rattle snake
brain of one of the kept pimps, in
tellectual prostitutes. or master ly-
ing reporters in the employ of the
Tribune.
The ropes and fagots of the
Southern mobists and lynchers are
the real factors in the Negro emf
llC HUN MOIIli
clay-eating, unciviaized white trash
Of the cracker ridden South, who at
the behest of the lying Southern
newspapers Of the ilk of the Chicago
Tribune, from mobs and lynch anC
burn Negroes are the real "Red''
agents emptying the South of its
Negro population.
Those Negro "Reds" in this ex-
pose article are actively engaged in
organizing Negro workers to fight
the Negro and white real estate
hogs, sharks and robber landlords,
They are also advising Negroes to
join white labor unions wherever
possible and to form Negro unions
TO fight for higher wages and
shorter hours, and to link up their
forces with the white enlightened
class conscious and radical workers
who are also fighting the common
enemy of both Negro and white
workers, the capitalist exploiting
class.
Respectfully,
GORDON w. OWENS

SYDNEY, N. S. W., April g.
Plasterers have decided to refuse to

SERVING HIS sENTENCE

An unusual tribute was paid to elo- quence in a London police court re- gently, where an incurabIe malefac- tor was being tried for petit larceny. The culprit had been assigned coun- sel. The latter was young. It was his first case and he desired to make the most of tin an attempt to prove the impossible innocence of his client.
 The lawyer talked for some twenty minutes and finally stopped. more from lack of breath. than lack of arguments. and the defendant seized this opportunity to rise and address the bench.
 "I beg your pardon, your honor" said he, but I'd like to ask if the time consumed by the-er-speech of my counsel can be counted as part of the sentence which I know you mean to impose on me."-Le Petit Parisien. (Translated for The Star).

New Orleans being at time steady seller Business was not active, prices saggiDg off, more from the lack of any demand than from the volume of cotton actually for sale. The census bureau re- port on the December consumption was postponed until the opening tomorrow, Tuesday morning. The local feeling is now very pessimistic. but to our mind the supply of cotton is so short this season as to act as strong supporting influence on these declines. There can be no doubt, however. that some new incentive is needed on the bull side.
