The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-01-13

The little naked lad that is the
New Year 1924, is going to make
trouble for labor.
He inherits from his predecessor a
dislike for the aims of Labor and
finds that 1928, while still youth,
believed in showing Labor its place.
Only the increase in employment pre-
vented 1928 being a disastrous year
for Labor. 1924 begins with I'M
employment on the increase; what
does the year hold for Labor?
In 1923, the federal government
threw its weight against the strik-
ing railway shopmen with the result
that their unions were destroyed SO
far as fighing ability is concerned.
The same anti-labor element is still
in control at Washington, and will
remain in control thruout 1924.
Coolidge is for Wall Street; Wall
Street is for Coolidge and Labor viii
get just as much and no moro con-
sideration from Coolidge than the
exigencies of a campaign year seem
to warrant.
There is a cold hostility to every
section of the Labor movement; that
is the outstanding feature of the
present regime and that with the in
crease in unemployment and the ex-
cuse of a strike of the soft coal min
ers' may fare into open acts of
violent suppression.
The coal miners can either strike
or make an abject surrender. There
will be no give and take-with the
miners doing the bulk of the giving
as in the anthracite controversy. A
bituminous strike affects basic in
dustrv Immediately. Non-union coal
production is on the increase. The
operators are in belligerent mood.
They feel that Coolidge will see them
thru. A fight seems inevitable.
The election campaign will absorb
the attention of Labor as never be-
fore. Labor is doing more political
thinking than at any previous period
and will appear on the political field
as a unit with the farmers in many
sections.
The Gompers machine is going to
back McAdoo; so are some of the
railway organizations despite Nc

Anna Christie" Eugene O'Neips
powerful drama, has been made into
a splendid film by Thomas H. Ince.
The producer is credited with a
faithful rendition of the play in
story, setting and action by the
National Board Of Review. That
is saying good deal.
The heroine is a girl who has be-
come a woman of the streets at the
age of twenty, her father worth
less old coal-barge captain and her
lover a shipwrecked stoker. The
life of common workers is the
material Of which the play and film
are made and all who are weary of
the customary film twaddle will be
refreshed by this departure from
the ordinary run.

freight car and sentenced to ninety
days of work in the swanps owned
by lumber company. How he con-
tracts fever, is brutally beaten by
the overseer, who when ordered to
release the boy is told by ''trusty"
he is dead, and who subsequently,
sets fire to the stockade where the
prisoners are chained in for the
night, furnish the chief points of the
picture"
Then comes the rub. "a good
patriotic note is sounded by the ap-
pearance of the commander of the
American Legion Post through whose
efforts the villains are brought to
justice"
This is propaganda with venge-
ance. We object to propaganda
it would have been true to life if
they had made the Legion commander
the owner of the lumber camp, and
had the rescue pulled by some trade
union organizers-with a few epilogue
shots" of the Communist Common
wealth for finale.
The producers of the picture may
argue, with much justice, too, that
without the hokum ending they would
never have gotten it by the movie
trust or the censors. The journal
tells the exhibitor, "The patriotic
angle and the happy ending, with
the boy restored to his weeping
mother, may tighten the theme
enough to put it over for you"
Not even the use of a Florida
Legion Commander as an instru-
ment of social progress is too much
for the purveyers of movie hokum.
It's all right in reel life. But this
story is based on REAL life. That
boy, Martin Tabert, was f1ogged to
death in a Florida camp, and when
he died he stayed dead. There was
no "return to his weeping mother"
up on North Dakota farm waiting
for the boys earnings to pay the
interest on the mortgage.
Nine-tenths Of the film is worth
support, the other tenth can be neu-
tralized by being shown up for the
bunk it is. The American workers,
through effective political and indus
trial organization, could dictate also
the terms of their film entertainment.
We need more films that tell the story
Of Labor's sacrifices to profit and of
the struggle to be free. Now they
are not for us unless mixed with a
strong dose Of plute propaganda
poison.

Secretary Hughes, ably assisted by
the feeble viciousness of the Daugh-
erty Department of Justice, has put
Soviet Russia's enemies on the de-
fensive. Mr.. Gomper alone stands
mistaken; to him the recognition of
Russia means a personal defeat--a
major defeat. Should recognition
come before the next A. F. Of L.
convention it might even contribute
to his defeat. So the A. F. of L.

Among the Picture Reviews in a
recent issue of movie trade journal
appears that of a new six reeler,
"The Whipping Boss" The story,
to quote this journal, ''seems to have
been made solely to show the dread

paired while he is still Of service to
them.
The Convention of the United Mine
Workers to be held this month is,
in many ways, of more Importance
to Labor than the A. f. of L. Con-
vention next fall. Should the Lewis
machine be defeated or even badly
shaken, it will be evidence of the
growing strength of the left wing
movement, and more than one inter-
national union official will begin to
break out of his flag locker an ensign
OF somewhat more lively hue.
AS for the A. F. Of L. Convention
itself, safe prediction wonld be
that it will do nothing except to
tighten the lines against the s'reds."
1t will meet at a time when the
unemployment situation will be crit
cal but no sane person will expect
the Convention to propose any
remedy not approved by the Civic
Federation and the Chamber of Com
merce. 1t is likely that unless the
unemployed invade the Convention
hall the subject will never be men
joined on the floor.
In 1924 and perhaps for several
years following, the economic power
of the Labor unions will decline.
Jobless workers cannot strike and
those who are lucky enough to have
jobs do not want to strike.
The Labor unions will turn more
and more to the political field and
even by the end of 1924, there may
be high and increasing level Of
consciousness among the. masses of
American workers engendered by the
political thinking they have been, and
will be forced to do.
In the educational and organiza-
tional work designed to speed up the
left wing activities in the Labor
movement, to give the new tendency,
toward class mass political action,
militant working class character, the
Workers (Communist) Party of
America is in the lead. 1t has, in
fact, little, if any competition and
the growth of the W. P. of A. in 1924
will be an accurate guide to the pro-
gress made by the American work
ing class as a whole.

EXECUTIVE
SUGGESTS
COMFORT rs

Here are some bits Of advice about
the home given by DR.. James Ford,
executive director Of the Better
Homes in America:
Put the kitchen sink under a
window so that the homemaker may
enjoy the fresh air and the beauty
Of nature while engaged at neces-
sary household tasks.
Put rollers on the kitchen table
and save about fifteen miles of walk
ing a month for the housewife.
Place your bed in relation to the
bedroom windows so that you can
have plenty OF fresh air without a
draft.
Dedicate the south sunny bedroom
to your children instead OF occasion
al guests.
Build youl house so that the liv-
ing room and the dining room con-
stituts one big room. Then your
daughter can have dances. parties
and other social events at home In
stead of somewhere else.
Give your housewife the share OF
the living expense money which
should come under her jurisdiction.
and Iee her be responsible for the
budgeting OF it,

BoartHaS Experts at

The Indianapolis Real Estate
Board is doing the citizens of Indian
apolis~ a real service through it's
board appraisals. Any one sufft-
GENTLY interested in knowing the
value OF piece of real estate should
likewise be sufficiently interested
in securing the best authority avail
able.
Appraising real estate is a science.
1t embraces a number of important
points such as location, population,
improvements. adaptability, possible
and probable future developments,
together with knowledge of land val
ues in surrounding neighborhoods.
The average layman does not realize
the contributing elements that exist
in real estate board appraisement,
and he should, therefore, refer such
questions to the most competent au-
thorities.
The board is composed of nine
realtors who are recognized as the
best authorities in the city. They
are specialists in the varied lines OF
real estate activities such as business
properties, leases, industrial sites,
apartments, residences, farms or va
cant ground.

CIVIC IDEALS
Church Secretary Says
! Ahildren Should Have
} Home Memories.

II am glad to say word in be-
[aah of the Home Complete Expo
Iition," said the Rev. Charles Fl.
Ninders, executive secretary Of the
.hurch Federation.
1.-THE objects sought are to demon
Istrate the advantages of home own
ership, to aid in overcoming the
present shortage of homes, to inn
prove the home environment, to
stimulate sensible and appropriate
kouying for home Improvement. and
/ to mobilize the sentiment of the com
munity in the interest of better and
more beautiful homes.
Everything possible should be
done to encourage the ownership of
homes. 1t stimulates thrift and
ECONOMY; it makes for good citizen
ship and sohdity of character; it
means better support for all the i'm
stftutions which make for good gov
&ernment. People who own their
khomes are more permanent resi-
dents, and more interested in having
good churches, schools. streets. san
itation and well kept homes.
Children should be brought up in
homes. not apartments, flats or
lodging houses. They need yard.
q few flowers. a garden spot. a place
TO play. They should not be moved
from place to place and have no
home with which the memories of
childhood can be associated. 1t
takes time to establish a home. and
the children whose parents move
evexM year or two are robbed OF
on,NE the richest heritages to
which they are entitled. The home
need not be large, expensive or lux
uriously furnished.

would be putting it mildly by the way

Everyone seemed to enjoy the good
