Pittsbnrg, June 2O.-The recent
death Of Charley Barrett, former
Cornell University star. recalls the
brilliant career of one of the great
est all-round players collegiate foot
ball ever developed.
Barrett was quarterback, and a
good one, too! He was a member of
the big Red eleven in l913-14-l5. In
his last two years in school he was
All-American quarterback, being one
of the few signal callers in the his
tory of the game to be so honored.
Barrett was near 1O-second man
in his football toys. He was a
clever dodger, making him especially
elusive in an open field. He could
also pass and punt, his kicking abil-
ity standing in good stead on several
occasions when the going was close.
He was equally strong on the de-
fensive.

Chicago's Homes

The exposure made by the DAILY WORKER
of the wretched housing conditions of New
York pointed out very clearly that this acute
suffering was not local and that the housing
problem was a national question.
The conditions to which the mass of work.
ers in New York are subject are essentially
repeated in every large industrial center of the
country. In Chicago, for instance, the unsani-
tary conditions, the poorly constructed homes,
the miserable congestion are almost the exact
replica of the New York situation.
The report of Mr.. Thomas Allenson of the
Department of Public Welfare, arrived at in
cooperation with the Illinois Department of
Public Health, makes one shudder at such a
state of affairs being tolerated in a city which
has often been called the Queen of the West"
Hundreds of dilapidated, germ-laden dwell
ings are now overcrowded with men and
women of the working class. ITO have lived
ones childhood here is sufficient evidence that
one has seen the rough side of life" This is
typical of the painfully graphic way in which
the report views the conditions of the so-called
homes which the working men of Chicago are
compelled to inhabit because of their low
wages and because of the exorbitant profits
being piled up by the landlords and capital
lists
The housing conditions in Chicago are as
unbearabe as they are in New York Many
schemes have been put forward by all sorts of
nondescript capitalist and semi-capitalst in
stitutions to relieve the distress. All of these
have failed. All Of these schemes have only
tended to perpetuate the acute gravity of the
housing crisis. 1t is time that the workers
themselves, those who have been doing the
suffering, those who have been subject to these
abject conditions should get together into a
national united tenants association of their
own and force an end to this misery and
wretchedness.

Our DUN Home

The news that the DAILY WORKER will
soon occupy its own home should prove most
welcome to every man and woman who is COM
PEELED to labor for an employer in order to earn
a livelihood. This arrangement will enable
the only fighting working class daily in Amer
lea to render better service and to strike more
telling blows against the eXploiters
The value of a Daily to the workers is IN
estimable We need but notice the tremen-
dous propaganda launched for the Mellon plan
to save the tax bills of the millionaires. 1t was
thru their control of the press that the bankers
and manufacturers were able to organize the
greatest propaganda campaign that has per-
haps been seen in the world since Americas
entry into the war. The importance of being
able to state the case of the workers and
farmers cannot be exaggerated.
The situation in England at this moment at
fords the most striking proof of the necessity
of the workers of every country building up
powerful press Here we have the British
Labor Party at the helm of the government
This party despite all the advantages that its
present parliamentary position entails is now
seriously handicapped in its functions BECAUSE
it does not have its own press and is al the
mercy Of practically the entire press on the
country which is capitalist and reactionary
The British Labor Party has only one daily
The Herald, and this paper is weak because
many of the men who are now the leading
figures in the cabinet did not find it necessary
to render it proper and sufficient support.
This change, welcome as it is, should en-
courage all the workers and farmers to take
a greater interest not only in making the
DAILY WORKER the most powerful infuen-
tial newspaper in the country, but should also
stimulate the activities of the working masses
towards building up chain of labor and farm
newspapers that will speak for the workers
feArlessly and unfalteringly.

how Coolidge could permit such leaks, as his
message to Mclean in his sacred affairs of
state. Really, the president ought to do some
housekeeping and he ought to begin in his
own White House first by getting himself
servants who would never permit such infor-
nation to get to the masses.
Senator Lodge, the most cultured ignoramus
in the Senate, and the leader of the republican
reactionaries, has called the charges against
Coolidge "gutter gatherings" We agree with
the aged self-styled historian from Massachu-
setts Coolidge has at last been put in his
proper place. The gatherings in the cutters
of Washington have been piling on so thick of
late that they have caused the news sewers of
the country to burst with filth. And the presi-
dent is by no means the least conspicuous of
these ''gutter gatherings"
The exposure of Coolidge and his deals in
the oil scandals should Immediately raise a
storm of protest to drive him out of his office:
Coolidge should be impeached There is
more than enough grounds on which Congress
can impeach him. The president is besmeared
with oil from head to foot.
How can the workers and farmers be ex-
pected to have the slightest trust in Coolidge
and his appointed oil prosecutors when he
sends private messages, secret kilograms to
Mclean the day after the latter confessed
publicly that he lied in order to protect Fall?
How can Coolidge be expected to use the I'M
limited powers of his office to punish the
criminals when he publicly admits that one of
the arch-criminals Mr.. Mclean, has "always
been most considerable to him? How can we
expect Coolidge to act fairly and squarely in
the prosecution when he himself must rely on
Mclean to get in touch with his own private
secretary, Mr.. Slemp? How can we be ex-
pected to put our trust in president who has
been so deeply involved in the oil scandal that
he is compelled to issue conflicting apologies
and explanations for his telegraphic connec-
tions with the nest of oil thieves at Palm
Beach?
The finger of guilt points straight to the
White House. Coolidge ought to show some
of his former practical, hard-headed political
sense. He ought to make sacrifice, as Borah
said, and quit his office of which he is most
unworthy. But the workers and farmers must
not hesitate a moment. The working masses
the country over must unite their forces to kick
Coolidge out of the White House, to force Con-
gress to impeach him without any further
delay.

The Dictatorship of Dicks

The labor spy is definitely American insti-
tuition. But during and since the war he has
become menace not only as an institution,
but as an institution protected, encouraged
and allied with the government itself
The labor spy has no especial reason for
existence IN organizations which are not prole-
tarlan, and for the same reason those unions
IN which the rank and file is bound hand and
foot by reactonary officials the demand of the
employers for industrial espionage never
reaches the point it does in fighting militant
organizations. 1t is not surprising, then. that
the l. w. W., for instance, which has been the
bogey-man of the bosses in such industries as
copper production, should be the target of the
bosses working thru such nefarious agencies
as the Burns Detectives. Such opponents are
the inevitable compliment of a fighting or
ganization.
In the investigation of the conduct of the
department OF Justice under the administra-
ton OF Daugherty and Burns, which is inst
now opening, the greatest threat to capitalist
government Is not the exposure of corruption
and graft In the heart of the federal govern
ment, but the exposure that the government
which IS theoretically supposed to stand above
classes and to take no sides in the struggle he
tween capital and labor, is secretly in closest
cooperation with great corporations in black
llsting, deportlng and prosecuting disconnected
Worhers ana labor organizers. Senator
wheeler has in his hands the power to tear
aside the traditional mask of federal govern
ment Justice" and display to the simplest
worker the cynical smirk of harlot govern
ment sold and delivered to capital

proved beyond all doubt, despite the lie Burns
told the Walsh Committee as to his severance
from his agency since becoming a government

ions to expose this plot widely.

(Stah Correspondent of the Federated Press)
POTENTIALLY Canada means
more to the United States than to
Breat Britain. The Canadian wheat
fields will become indispensable to
the American people. Already the
great forest resources Of Canada are
being drawn upon for paper stock
and lumber. The coal of Nova Scotia,
the iron of Newfoundland, and the
copper of the lake regions will be re-
Questioned for American manufacture
ing industry.
By 1910, the volume Of investable
surplus cash in the United States had
increased to such a point that Cuba,
Mexico, Central America and Canada
were all called upon to absorb their
share of surplus American funds. At
that time, however, the amount of
United States investments in Canada
did not exceed 1925, 100000.
Meanwhile the British investors
had been making the best Of an ex-
cellent opportunity. By 1914, the
total of British investments in Canada
had exceeded $4,000, 100000. In the
same year the total of United States
investments was not more than $780,
100000.
The war not only destroyed a part
of the British market in Canada by
stimulating the development Of local
Canadian industry, but it hurt .3ri fish
industry at home by stimulating the
export Of Canadian manufactured
goods to the home country. At the
same time, British investments in
Canada virtually ceased. This war
situation gave United States investors
their opportunity.
The Dominion bureau Of statistics
recently published report on The
Nationality of Capital in Canadian In
dustries for 1919. According to this
report all Of the major manufacturing
and mining industries of Canada were
being financed by Canadian or by
United States capital. The United
States investments had practically
equalled British investments and the
volume Of United States money pour
ing into Canada every year far ex-
ceeded the volume Of British money.

The economic title to Canada's for

lean government today, has been drawn into

What times are these when so skilled a

capitalist politician as the President, loses
control of the rudder of the ship Of state to
such an extent as to allow himself to be caught

large sums of investable surplus
which lie ready on hand in the United
States and with the pressure of Bril-
fish imperial policy forcing American
industries to locate in Canada in or

upon imperial preferences, there
seems to be an overwhelming prob
ability that the British financial posi-
ton in Canada will grow proportion

Two Women on a Street
By MAXWELL BODENHEIM.

This street is callous apathy
In scale Of greys and browns.
Its black rOof-line suggests
Flat bodies unable to rise.
It's air is swarthy rawness,
Troubled with ashcans and cellars.
Even its screams are listlessness
Having an evil dream.
An old woman ambles on
With black bag that seems a part
Of her back,
And candidly hawkslike face.
She cro0ns smothered folk-song
That Sits a ALTERING roundncss
Into her sharply parted face.
Then she surrenders her hand
To the welter Of garbage can.
A hugely wilted woman sinks by
With cracked stare on her face.
Her eyes are beaten discs
OF the street-lamps' CHASTITY keen
ness.
She glides away as tho the night
Were lover flogging her:
Glides into the callous apathy
OF this street, like one who cringes
Happily into her lovers room.

Dundle or SOUNDS.
He spurred his horse and with
all his strength struck it with his
nagaika, and it dashed forward
at swift trot, avoiding the deep
pits invisible in the darkness.
Arriving at the monastery, he
enquired if his teIephonogram had
been obeyed, assured himself that
everything had been done, shortly
explained the character of the
operation to the battalion COM
mander, Seletsky, ana, fifteen min
utes later, before the quiet ranks
of the Red Army men, told them
briefly what was on foot. And then,
as they rode out into the country,
he explained to the military Com
missar of the battalion, Danilov,
elegant, good-looking, in leather
coat and broad red riding breaches,
the political meaning of the re-
volt, and Danilov in reply nodded
his handsome head that he carried
lightly on his strong neck. Dan
ilov had been a miner, unable to
read or write, and even now he
read with difficulty, and indeed had
not been able to even read "The
A B C of Communism" all thru,
but the Red Army men loved him
for his simplicity, which they di-
vined under all his elegantly got
up equipment, while Karaulov
thought we'll of him for his bold
ness, for his honesty, for his di-
rectness and also because some
times they had a drink together.
Seletsky, meanwhile, was riding
from end to end Of the battalion,
assuring himself over and over
again that everything had been
done as it should have been done.
:. 1t seemed that the line was
properly deployed, machine guns
in the center, and patrols sent
out on the right flank, together
with cavalry scouts. =.
Everything had been done, and
presently Seletsky would meet the
enemy once again, and once again
would be solving in human lives
that familiar, but every time new
and interesting military problem.
Once again to meet the enemy -.
the bandits. :.
Were not religion, nationality,
class, merely colored, modifying
denotations, concrete denotations
thru which were expressed the alb
stractions of the great game of
war? OF the beloved game of
death which, for Seletsky, was like
an Intoxicating narcotic. And
he remembered how seven years be-
fore Ensign Seletsky then
against the Germans led his
company to the attack, and was
full of enthusiasm and dreamed
of a heroic death for Russia. And
then, in the opaque gloom Of the
trenches, what with illness, con-
tusions and wounds, this enthusi-
asm had withered. But in its place
there had grown up new, painful
interest in this deadly game at
which for SO many years on end
the whole of mankind had been
playing, in this Oldest Of all games,
in this most beloved of all chill
dren's games. :. And now it was
all the same to Battalion Com
mander Seletsky. :. Germans,

wounds and deaths were merely
