With. the opening day of the an
nual congress of the Daughters of the
American Revolution less than four
days distant, Memorial Continental
Hall began to receive the. first influx
of delegates and visitors from every
Dart of the country today.
Although this is generally regard
ed as an "off year for the associa-
1ion because. the general officers
elected last year retain their offices
until 1925, it is said an unusually
ambitious program has been pre-
pared for the consideration of the
congress.
Begins Monday Morning.
Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, the
president general, will call the con-
gress to order Monday morning and
following her address of welcome .he
first business session will get under
way. From then until the following
Saturday, morning, afternoon and
night the delegates will remain in
session.
The only offices to be filled this
year are those of honorary vice presi-
eral For the former three candi-
dates have thus far entered the field.
The office of vice president general,
however, has attracted fourteen can
didates. In view of the fact that
there are but eight vacancies to fill
Il lively fight is expected. Those who
have announced their candidacy thus
far are:

Tuesday the Congress will begin
its business program in earnest.
Much of the program will be devoted
to the society's educational work, a
phase of endeavor by the Daughters
little known or heard Of by persons

Americanization Work.
Americanization work will also oc-
cupy much of the Congress time this
year. Last year much work the
society would have liked to under
take was blocked by the unusually
exciting. contest for the office of pres
ident general The elections this year
will be less exacting and the congress
may devote virtually it's undivided
time to matters close to the. heart of
the Daughters. .
The question of seating all dele
gates and alternates has become a
problem and it is understood that
about 800 persons who have applied
for tickets of admission - must be
ask ed to withdraw their. requests.
Most of these are alternates, how
ever, and will be able to attend when
the delegates from their states are
not present. ~

war which had made the bankers of
America safe in their exploitation of
the workers, the Negro and white
soldiers came back. The white sol
der was told, by the master, he was
no longer wanted in the factory
because Of over-production with no
market for the goods already on hand.
This was cruelty and ingratitude In
deed, but the Negro received even
worse treatment. Not only was he
denied work but it was as much as
his life was worth for the Negro
soldier to appear in the streets Of Chi
cago, Washington, Tulsa and many
other cities in the country.
Gratitude for colored loyalty during
the World War manifested itself
during the years 1919 when many
negroes were lynched or killed in the
barbaric race riots of that year. The
capitalist beast, organized mobbery,
was at large, hunting and cunning for
Negro blood, for which we may thank
the folly of the colored people in their
support of capitalistic war.
Two years have now passed since
the atrocious race riots but the gene
raj situation has in no wise changed.
Today Negroes are lynched, discri-
minated against in factories, restaur-
ants, hotels and other public places,
just the same as in the days before
the war, aye, even the days before
the civil war.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-09-20

had nothing to fight for. Unfortunately
the Negroes had not their minds on
their own best interests and foolishly
let slip golden opportunity. In
place Of taking advantage of the op-
portunity they offered their lives for
imperialism and demonstrated that
they needed the negro politician and
preacher. Everywhere colored men
and women were exceedingly proud of
helping the capitalist class in their
war upon the Kaiser and it is with
some regret that we remember seeing
thousands of the paradin@ in Michi-
gan avenue exhibiting their loyalty to
their masters.
The Reaction Against The Negro
1t was an important event in the
lives Of many colored persons when
they marched in one of the worlds
great boulevards, singing war songs
while the white business men stood
on the fringe of the crowd and vocif-
erously applauded them. Every bank
er was enthusiastic about the loyalty
of the Negro; every crooked polite
ian, every business man was proud of
the Negro soldiers. Their sentiments,
at that time, were, "the Negro boys
are good boys" Meaning, of course,
that the boys were willing to die for
the interests of their masters, the
bankers of America. But this fake
love for the Negro did not last long

deavored, up to the limit of their
ability, to help the government crush
Prussian militarism.
For several generations, the Negro
race have been prosecuted and ex-
plotted in America, but when the
country was in need of their service
they straightway forgot the past and
gladly offered their lives for the glory
of the STARS and Stripes" This
attitude during crises has happened
during every wor. In the World War,
100000 colored men and boys were
drafted without one of this number
attempting to evade.
They would have shown some
strength of character if they had at
that time asked the capitalist class
this question: you ask us to fight
the Germans in order to make the
world safe for democracy, but why do
you not first make America safe for
the colored people? You speak to us
about German atrocities, but what
have you to say respecting the atroc-
tiles actually committed against the
colored people in the United States?
In the past you have prosecuted us,
now you demand of us our lives that
your interests may be furthered, to
which we say nothing doing
Right at that very moment an ex-
cellent opportunity presented itself
for the Negro workers to refuse to
fight. Like the white workers they

Wheeler Says Nothing.

Wheeler's speech was, in plain words,
First Glass Capitalistic Bunk"
Besides the child amendment he
practically said nothing that would
benefit the masses of workers. He
classed the workers as the common
people"
He didn't tell us what he stood for
or what his party would do when
elected except that such crooks" as
Dougherty would go to the Atlanta
penitentiary. He did not prove to us
that his party could destroy system
in which such men as Daugherty can
be put in high Office. He did not even
mention the K. X X.
His whole talk was practically de-
voted to jokes about the old parties
and about Coolidge. He said he would
tell us the real inside facts about Tea
pot Dome. Many of those present thot
that he did, but you can go to 95 per
cent of those present and ask them to
tell you about Tea Pot Dome and
they'd be stuck"
Any one of your Communist speak
ers could have made him feel like

him just about two questions. I'm
sure two questions is sufficient. l

Tribune for JIm-crowlsm.

To the DAILY WORKER The
Chicago Tribune in its issue of Aug.
%, contains an editorial suggesting to
Jim-crow recreational and amusement
places in Chicago.
The Tribune states that Negroes
and whites work together on the job
without friction, but that the attend
ance at a theater, park or other amuse-
ment or recreational places of both
Negroes and whites causes friction.
What About Sousn.
OF course this is the worst sort Of
rot and rubbish. According to the
Tribune, ideal relations should exist
in the southern states between Ne
groes and whites. But we know just
the opposite is true. The Negroes
are constantly emigrating from the
southern states, due to the very bad
relationships between them and the
whites in Jim-crow Dixie land.
The Chicago Tribune knows very
well that Negroes and whites become
friendly and understand each other
by mixing and mingling together. The
Tribune, the mouthpiece Of the en-

ployers, endeavors at all costs to pre-
vent that condition between black
and white workers.
Jim-crow Good for Bosses.
The ideal state of Negroes and
whites, according to this yellow CAPT
talist sheet, is to keep Negroes and
whites separated so that it will be
easy for the bosses to direct the hat
red of white workers against Negro
workers, and the hatred of the Ne
gro workers against white workers,
while the exploiters and real enemies
of both groups Of workers, the en-
ployers, will escape unnoticed.
Negro Batting in Tribune.

The Tribune by their advertising,
and this kept mistress must cater to

"Foree and Violence"


hardly pick up newspaper without
reading the words, Force and VIC
lence." A bulky, brutal-looking pc.
liceman brings in a frail, innocent
girl, beaten up and bleeding, and ac-
cuses her of force and violence"
while the truth is, the girl is the in
nocent victim of bully with blood in
his eyes, exercising force and vio-
lence under the convenient camou-
flage of, law and order"
. A man with a night stick in his
hand, gun in his holster, or black
jack in his pocket, represents Force
and Violence. So does the soldier,
the Baldwin-Feltz cutthroat, the Burns
and other detectives, the under-cover
man, the labor syp.
Use Force Against People.
The writing of an article, the criti-
cism of an illegal act, the freedom Of
assemblage and speech, the peaceful
picketing by a striking worker, are
not force and violence" but are
termed so by the authorities who
want to keep knowledge from the
great mass of people.
AS soon as a state becomes aware
of it's infirmity, it issues DEGREES of
restriction, curtails liberty of the
masses and uses force and violence
against the people, especially against
the workers at every opportunity
Germany, because of its infirmity
and fear of revolution has established
military dictatorship to deny birth
right to the inevitable revolution.
Say Revolution Is Manufactured.
Reactionaries in America slyly try
to create the conception that revolu-
ton is a manufactured thing; that
something like a trick could be put
over by few revolutionary, educated
men.
The world is confronted with two
alternatives, either to let history pur-
sue it's natural course and grant birth
right to the new state of society or
murder the child revolution, bolster
up the old hank of hair and let that
staggering carcass drag on for a few
years longer and perform that same
reactionary trick over again. See

TELLS BANKERS
TO ADVERTISE

There is no greater medium Of edu.
cation in our daily life than the news
paper. and, OF all mediums onered Tor
bank advertising, the columns OF the
newspapers reach the innermost cir
cles of our population In the most
widespread manner, Motley Fl. Flint,
! Los Angeles banker, told the confer
| ence of the Savings Bank Division.
American Bankers Association, held
there recently.
advertising, one OF mans modern
selling forces, has found fixed place
in the banking field" Mr.. Flint said.
"rhis. too, In the face Of dire predic-
tions OF many old-time bankers, VINO
once ridiculed the idea that advertis-
ing could be applied to the selling OF
a service so intangible as that onered
by banking institutions. The time was
that a bank was satisfied with pub
fishing its statement OF condition
That day has been relegated to the
past.
There has been . gratifying re-
sponse on the part Of the public In
this new appeal. From 1t has grown
better understanding by our people OF
banks and their functions. Where
bank account formerly was the excep-
ton it Is now the rule. Surely this
can be attributed principally to the
fact that bankers have come out OF
their shells and, through advertising,
have induced people generally to come
into their institutions and learn more
about the beneficial services banks
have to offer. This can be shown IN
no better way than by the marvellous
growth in savings accounts.
Astounding sums are being invest
ed annually in bank and financial ad'
vertising. I say invested advisedly.
1t Is not merely being spent; it Is in
vested. 1t is invested for various rea'
sons, and not the least Of these Is for
the purpose of keeping the name OF
our banks before the people, accom-
panied by bit of bank education"
