GREAT FUNERAL FOR
 MURDERED LEADER
Thousands File Past CaSket Of O'Bannion, Chicago Rum-Runner

Chicago, Nov. 14.-Thousands of persons filed past the ornate, flower
 hedecked. casket of Dion {Dean) O'Bannion all night and this morn ing in final tribute to the florist,
 gunman, rum runner and hijacker. slain Monday morning in his flower
 shop by three gunmen who called him from his task of trimming
 chrysanthemum stems.
 His funeral today was looked for ward to as the greatest in Chicago's i history, even surpa ssing that yester- day of Michael Merlo, friend of O'Bannion and leader of the Union
 Siciliana when 1000 automobiles, 25
 of them carrying only flowers, form
 ed the cortege from St. Clements church, where 10000 persons had gathered for the last rites.
 O'Bannion's funeral today was
 without the blessing of the church, although burial in consecrated ground was permitted.
 It brought a new era in Chicago's l civic affairs, as well as marking the
 passing of the 32 year old gang lead CT, termed by Morgan Collins. chief
 of police, Chicago's arch criminal
 and responsible for at least 20 mur-
 ders. It resulted. however in the
 statement Of William E. Deyer,
 mayor, that the rule of the gat' i had been ended. Incensed by the great amount of publicity and the open threats of O'Bannion's follow CTS to shoot it out" with adherents of other groups of gunmen, Mir. Dever directed that every known pistol toter be searched on sus- picion as frequently as encountered. He planned for eliminating pistol carrying or forcing the gunmen to leave Chicago.
 Tt IS time to determine whether organized outlaws shall continue to shoot and rob with impunity or whether decency and order will pre- vail" the mayor said.
 Until the hour of the funeral the line of men and women representing all conditions of life continued to stream past O'Bannion's silver and bronze casket. Some in threadbare garments timidly added their poor bouquets of a half dozen withered buds to the pretentious floral dis plays made up of thousands Of blossoms the affluent had sent.
 One gray haired and bent old woman shuffled by. She spoke of the dead gangster's friendship.
 He put my boy on the right track at the right minute" she said; got him a good job in an office and gave him a suit of clothes to fit the job. If his enemies had known him the way l did, he'd be alive today"
 Gee, he was swell feller," was a ragged newsboy's tribute. "Ho bought all my papers one awful cold night last winter and paid s5 for 'cm, and then took me to a restau- rant to eat"
 Ten men worked all yesterday and last night on a great blanket Of pink roses, lilies of the valley and orchids. tied at the corners with silver rih- bons 10 he placed over the mound after the burial today.

in the mines. 1t was in the forefront,
dealing the heaviest blows against
the agents of the bourgeoisie, who
have usurped the official positions in
the miners union. The work of our
comrades in this convention added
greatly toward making the Miners
Union a better union for the class
struggle, thereby increasing the pres
tige of our Party. That must be ac-
knowledged at the very beginning.
In a whole series of trade union
conventions held in recent months
the same phenomena was to be OBJ
served. Our small Party, which
only yesterday emerged from under
ground and began to collect the scat
tered forces of the revolutionary
workers, was the storm center of the
fight against reaction in the labor
movement. We have not yet become
the leader of the masses in the trade
unions, but we have become the
leader in the fiAht for their interests.
The rest will follow in good time. OF
this we can be confident.
: 1t is no accident that our Party is
pushing forward everywhere and put
ting itself at the head of the strug-

from it is difficult and somewhat
hazardous task in certain sections of
the country, but it is our duty to the
working class to make such a fight.
We would not be worthy of the
proud name our Party bears if we
evaded such a fight on any pretext
Our work in the trade unions is
developing. Evidence Of this can be
seen on every side. Such confer
ences as this are proof of the rapid
strides we are making. We have
already accumulated rich experience,
and this experience is bringing to
light both positive and negative sides
in our work. One of our main duties
is to review the whole activity from
time to time, to strengthen and i'm
prove what is good, and discover
what is bad in order to reject it.
1t goes without saying that we
Communists esteem each other very
highly, but when we meet together
in conferences such as this, it is not
for the purpose of extending bouquets
and empty compliments, but to speak
out openly and frankly; to subject
all our work to thoro-going exam
nation and criticism in order that err

gle. The reason for this is that ours
is the only party willing to fight for
the immediate interests of the work
ers, and the only Party standing for
the solution Of the labor problem by
means Of the revolutionary over
throw of capitalism. All Of the in
terests of the working class immedi-
ately and ultimately, are indissolubIy
bound up with the revolution. And
If we make mistakes here and there.
If we fail to take. the fullest advan-
tage Of opportunities which arise in
the course of the struggle, it is be-
cause our comrades in the unions,
due mainly to inexperience, have not
fully mastered the art of taking a
practical stand on every question
that arises, and relating it skilrully
to the final aims of the movement.
Correcting Our Mistakes.
To do practical work, and at the
same time to deepen and extend the
class-consciousnes OF the workers.
and lead them toward the struggle
for power-this is the heart of our
task in the trade unions. From this
point Of view an examination of
events that transpired at the last con-
vention of the Illinois miners will
