Cash Prizes for s@Y" Dippydrome'
Animals

Three prizes Of SIS. so and IS will
be offered by the "Y" Dippydrome
Committee for the best representa-
ton Of the wild animals which will
take part in the big "Y" circus at
City Hall on April 30 and May 1.
The creation of wild animals Is an
art in itself. Who for instance would
know how to make an uhtamable
Gazoodelum? It is difficult enough to
make just a plain Gazoodelum but
to make an "untamable" Gazoo-
delun1 Ia all but adding the incon-
ceivabie to the impossible.
Still. however, the Gazoodelum
will be found with all its native
characteristics when the big tent
opens on April 30. Who will carry
most life-like specimen of q Gazoo-
dsivm d now q matter OF conjecture.
Several merchants along Water
street have professed to know how
one Of these rare animals looks and
acts in public and have even gone 30
far a. to express desire to bring
one into being for the ediffcation Of
ali those who may visit the zoo.
The 0axOodelum IL only one Of a
managerieful of the many unusual
and strange looking creatures which
viii infest the regions Of City Hall
at the time OF the circus.
Competition Is particularly keen
for the honor of impersonating the
giant Hootus. This animal Is almost
as rare as an apparition. It is
thought to be q cross between q
gaselie and o tamarAo. It's haunts

Jewish Bakers End
Strike with Terms
No Better, No Worse

A representative of the Jewish bak7
ers' local No. 237, announced to the
Chicago Federation of Labor that the
strike of his organization had been
ended and that the men had all re-
turned to work. The bosses had not
been able to put thru their wage re-
duction of Sc per week on the one
hand and the men had not been able
to get an increase Of IS for which
they had hoped. The union signed
the old contract.
The federation went on record, by
motion of Oscar Nelson, as endorsing
an editorial from a Chicago paper,
which berated Coolidge's veto of the
postal workers increase bill. The
editorial made the open shop profiteer
Ford, an example for Cal to study.
When Jack tombstone of the painters
union pointed this out, while agree.
ing with the condemnation of the pres.
idential veto and the remarks on be.

ers, Nelson got UP red-eyed again and
shouted "disruptor" at the peaceful

One begins to feel that it is a dress

with the cohorts of Prince William of

And this fight means as little to the
workers of the United States today as
the famous battle of 1891 meant to the
deluded and helpless followers Of the
contending royal heads.
In 1891, while the Catholic masses

ten of these are Hillquits supporters,
while two or three are wavering and
the remaining three or four are more
or less bitterly opposed to the new
departure of the Socialist Party into
the non-partisan reward your friends
and punish your enemies" policy.
The disgruntled faction consists
mostly of those called "the little fell
lows" without gift Of speech or
national reputation. These are en-
tirely at sea to know who will speak
for them, but desperately hope that
a minority report will bring them a
fighting chance and leader or two.
The defeat of "Comrade Judge" Pan
ken for membership on the commit
tee of fifteen, deprives them of a
leader, they think, tho Panken is re-
ported to be wavering. At one time
he was reported to be opposed to
accepting the LaFollette plan until
the C. P. P. A. makes good on its
shadowy promise to consider" form
ing a third party in January, 1925.
Lee Refuses to Run.
James Oneal is said to have op-
posed Hillquit in the IS. P" caucus
at the c. P. P. A. convention. Alger-
non Lee, who seems more or less
waveringly to oppose Hillquit, de-
clined to run for membership on the
committee, supposedly to give Oneal
a better chance, in the belief that
Oneal would be the spokesman for
the left wing" If this is an abb
surdity, it must be blamed on the in
nocence of the little men," Another
of the little mems" hopes is Cam
eron King, historically known for
hanging on by his finger-nails to the
extreme edge of the far end of the
right wing. Even now he objects to
the term left wing" tho he opposes
Hillquit. King said Monday that the
two main points of objection to Hill
quits program arise from the fail
ure of the c. P. P. A. to nominate a
vicepresidential candidate and the
failure to form a labor party. He
thinks the latter point can be over
looked, but the failure to nominate
running mate for LaFollette is
harder to swallow.
Boom for Maurer.
There is a rumor that the left"
may insist on the Socialist Party
nominating James Maurer of Pennsyl-
vania as vice-presidential candidate
and then to try to force him onto the
ticket with LaFollette. This brings
out suspicion of the writer that the
candidacy of Maurer with LaFollette
was part of the price that the So
cialist Party expected to get for the

On the seventh day of the ballot
ing, peace seemed farther off than
ever. The only thing that seemed
nearer was a split. Talk of moving
the convention to another city was in
the air. 1t is even reported that a

ing Polish workers, who even now are
being brought to trial in Krakow; the
rising Bulgarian peasants; the thou
sands of German proletarians who are

German al-Democracy; the revo-

with the sanction of Macdonald, are
being thrown Into Jail; he welcomes
the German and French Communist
youth.
He greets the Polish youth organ

ternational, who have already per-
formed countless services for the
workers, but who still live to witness
the throes of world revolution. The
fifth congress is not, it is true, cele-
brating the outbreak of the world rev

are tottering, sixth of the globe finds
itself under Soviet rule, Communist
parties are being built UP everywhere;
the flood of Social-Demosracy is be-

good name for itself with lies and
promises. In spite of great obstacles
the work is constantly progressing.
