Castor Oil Prince

School Children
special to The Daily worker

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 21.-
Prince Don Gelasio Caetani, royal
ambassador from Italy to the United
States, addressed the children of St.
Peters School in Fernando Street a
few days ago.
Rows and rows of the children
were massed on the stage as an
applause committee of the princes
fascist policies. One of the children
assigned as a spokesman repeated
a memorized phrase: 'Viva fol
Mussolini.' The prince concluded:
GAS ambassador of Italy, / tel you
to remember Italy, to love America
and to serve God"
Thus the workers child is tutored
to remember Italy-a country ruled
by fascismo and castor-oil; to love
America, the country of the injunc-
ton, the child slave and the exploited
workers and farmers, to serve God
or his representatives on earth, the
supporters Of the big bankers.
We heartily invite our "fascist
prince" to address the child laborers
in the beet fields of Michigan or on
the truck farms of Maryland. We
wonder if their cry would be "Viva
for Mussolini" or down with the
child murderers"?

COMMUNISTS WIN
UNION ELECTIONS
IN SAxO N CITIES
Movement Strongest in
Coal Districts

DRESDEN, Feb. 21.-The revo-
lutionizing of the masses in Germany
is proceeding rapidly. In ,Saxony,
altho the Communist Party was not
allowed to do any propaganda in con-
nection with the elections, the masses
voted nevertheless in great numbers
for the Communist candidates. The
municipal election in Saxony is only
one indication of the way the masses
are leaving the social-democratiC
party and are flocking to the side
of the Communist. Party. There are
other examples of this process in
other parts of Germany.
In Neumuenster the opposition
captured the textile union. those
elected were four Communists, two
sympathizing non-party workers and
zone social-democrat. The same thing
happened in the leather workers
union, where four Communists and
one social-democrat were elected.
In Elmshorn all elections in the
trade unions so far have given ma
jorities to the Communist Party, so
that the district executive committee,
in which up to now there have been
10 Communists and 26 social-demo-
Gratis, will surely have an overwhelm-
ingly Communist majority.
In the West Saxony district the
various local groups of the social
democratic party have been reduced
to Is per cent of their strength. The
same holds true Of other districts,
and many Of the members who leave
the social-democratic party enter the
Communist Party.
In Schweinfurt the Communist list
was elected in the full meeting Of the
factory councils.
In Meuselwitz-Rosi coal district
80 per cent of the trade unions are
on the side of the Communists. The
social-democratie party is trying to
utilize the ban put on the Commu-
mist Party, and is arranging meet
ing everywhere. But it has not met
with any success anywhere, and up
to now it could not form a single
new local branch.
In Wurttemberg six Communist
local branches have been organized
in the last few weeks.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 21.-Cleveland
progressives are preparing to carry
their fight against the Union Ter
minal grab to congress. They want
to find out how the promoters were
able to reverse a decision of the inter-
state commerce commission that the
deal was mot in the interest of public
necessity" and why the director of
the l. G. G. bureau of finance, who
put the deal thru for the promoters,
Immediately resigned as a govern
ment official to become vice president
and chief counsel of Van Sweringen's
Nickel Plate railroad at reputed
salary of $4,000 a year. Besides
this high official, the terminal crab
involves former U. S. secretary Of
war, the president of great railroad
system, and several nationally known
bankers in what a member of the
loter-state commerce commission
brands as "an indefensible scheme to
capitalize millions of dollars of
fictitious value at the expense of the
American people,"
Smoke Out A Plot.
The independent progressive city
councillors elected by proportional
representation last November scored
victory by forcing out into the open
the plot to plumber the public by the
erection of the "real estate" stub
terminal station on Cleveland's public
square. The corporation henchmen
in the council had to listen to a recital
Of how the Van Sweringens, after a
bad real estate gamble, had wrecked
the city beautiful plan Of former
Mayor Tom l.. Johnson in order to
help the big bankers recover their
loans and get an unconscionable pro-
fit themselves by erecting an ineffici-
ent stub station on the over-con-
gested public square.
The stub station would accommo-
date but four out of the seven rail-
roads entering Cleveland, at a cost
of from S60,000,000 to $4,000, 900
more than the great lake front ter
minal that would serve all seven
roads as the browning edifce on the
new city mall.
By vote of Ia to IL, the progress
sive c1uncilmen succeeded in sending
back to committee the motion rec
ording the city's intention to turn its
streets and property over to the stub
station promoters, and further car
ried a motion requiring the Van
Sweringens to appear before the city
council and answer questions about
their project.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-When the

party should take the matter to the

the defendants guilty of 'loitering

After the trial the prosecuting

With abrupt sentences, as if Civ

him. The big courtyard of the
Communist Company, the familiar
faces of those who had gathered
there, now seemed to him worla-

was no heroic action before him,
neither death nor suffering, but
simply a sleepless night.

German Middle Class
of Pre-WGr Days Is
Almost Wiped Out

Herman Basler, the recently-ar-
rived delegate from the international
Workers Relief Committee, with
headquarters in Berlin, spoke last
night at the Imperial Hall, under the
auspices of the N. S. English branch
of the Workers Party.
The decline of the mark, said
Basler, has completely abolished the
middle class that existed before the
war. This middle class has gone
over, part and parcel, either to the
Fascist or the Communist movement.
Conditions are so frightful that
statistics giving famine death rates
have been suppressed. All thru the
winter little children have been with
out food or clothing-forced to walk
half-naked, unshod, thru SHOWS as
heavy as any we have in this city.
"a hungry man will fight" he
said, "but a starved man cannot
fight, will not fight-he will crawl on
his knees for a piece of bread. We
must feed them back to energy and
strength"

Instead Of knowledge he is treat
ed with brutality and such things
as solitary confinement, bread and
water, and physical punishment.
They are also forced 10 work eight
TO nine hours a day as gardeners
and farmers, which we know is too
much even for a grown up man.
Capitalism drags these boys into
holes of torture, pain and brutality,
where they are brought up until
those that can stand it no longer,
commit suicide.
These are the reform schools,
the tool of the capitalist class. We
will fight against this tool and sys-
tenn Of capitalism until it is gone.

NEW YORK, Feb. PA Euro
pean, visiting the latest crop of
frothy musical comedies on Broad
WAY, would blink in amazement at
their mechanical adroitness. In Ber-
lin, Moscow, Vienna or Prague, the
magician who draws a rabbit and a
canary from derby hat is still the
highest expression of mechanical
genius. In middle-class America,
scarcely a single polite "Ah" escapes
from the spectator who sees a life
sized kitchenette apartment with
occupants emerge on the stage from
imperceptible regions below. They
are resorting to new devices on
Broadway now, each more ingeniuos
than last years. A soubrette in the
Emusic Box Revue" sings a senti-
mental, railroad-circular sort of bal
lad about orange groves in Cali
fornia-while, from some invisible
source-a suspicion of faint orange
perfume is waited into the audi
forum. For some, this suggested a
barber shop and hot towels. For the
majority, it heightened the picture of
orange orchards.
There is subtlety and untold gen.
Jus in the technical perfection OF
these productions. Artists, engineers.
dramatists, producers and a staff of
stage workers devote weeks and
months to evolving an Oriental
scene, in order to have a convincing
background for the newest morsel of
"Chinese" jazz melody. One may rea-
sonably question whether this elab-
crate game is worth the spotlight;
but the pleasure-bent theater-goeI
has no doubts. He comes; be sees;
and is conquered. He will even ap-
plaud variation on the mother-in-
law joke, as long as the trappings
afford him novelty.
The Emusic Box Revue" is in
genious, not only in its lavish mech
anisms, but in its wit, settings, cos
tunes and tricky scenes.
"Andre Charlot's Revue of 1924
is no less rollicking. tho it lacks the
spontaneity of its Music Box rival
II it omits the familiar Main Street
touch, it offers lively collection Of
London and Paris manners. For this
very reason, it affords a stimulating
contrast; it is a European show
dressed by American tailors. One
occasionally feels that the garments
are loose fit. But the dancing and
costuming speak an international
language, and they speak with flu.
ency and appeal Whatever is Amer,
lean in Andre Charlot's show is Of
the slapstick school. One wonders
why the producers thoughtlessly
omitted the conventional custard pie
casually dropped down the back Of Q
lad-'s evening gown. There is in
congruity between this American
pool room humor and the tastefu
decorations and delicate trappings OF
the chorus. In the old. old struggle
between artistry and box Office, tn,
former, as usual, has taken the count
but not without puttin~ IN a gooc
