GIRL AWARDS SELF
TO MOTHERS RIVAL
Ruling Through Voice of Judge
One of Unique in Chicago
Court.
Special Dispatch to The star.

CHICAGO, March 22.--Twelve-year-
old Kathleen Malloy probably mas
never even heard of Sir James NJ Bar
rie, but she. and the famous author
and playwright agree on one cardinal
point. 1t is that if you don't believe
in fairies. you don't belong"
Because her mother didn't believe
in fairies, or any of the little make
believe games so dear to the hearts
of young folks of all ages, kathleen
has just handed down a decision de-
nying herself to Mrs. Patrick Malloy,
a government employe at Washing
ton, and awarding custody of herself
to Mrs. Charles Weightman, who does
belong"
Kathleen, of course, acted through
Judge Hugo Pam of the Domestic Re-
lations court, in making her decision,
but it was her decision nevertheless.
Case Unusual One.
THE case is one of the most un-
usual that has ever been decided
in the local courts. 1t seemed at first
to be merely the old fight of a mother
who had boarded out child while
she made a living. When Kathleen
was three months old her mother
placed her in the care of Mr.. and Mrs.
Weightma who have two children
of their own. For nearly welye
years Kathleen saw her real mother
only internationally.
Six months ago she came to Chicago
and Instituted court proceedings to OBJ
tain custody of Kathleen. Judge Pam
was about to decide in the mothers
favor when the child begged kim to let
her stay with Mrs. Weightman. The
court compromised by telling Kathleen
to go stay with her mother for six
weeks and see how she liked 1t.
When the six weeks We're up Eath-
leen still wanted to live with Mrs
Weightman. The court placed her in a
neutral home for four more months,
authorizing Mrs. Malloy to visit the
child whenever she wished, in an effort
to win her back.
A few days ago Kathleen was re-
minded that the four months were
nearly up and was told the court
probably would give herS to her
mother. She telephoned Judge Pam
and begged for hearing. Tuesday
is what she told the Judge:
Il tried to love my mother. l
cannot and l am very sorry. She
said she wanted me always. but she
never kissed me when ] went to
bed. She said / was too old for

A portion or the French press ssug-

Branches of both the Party and Y.

when you go out If a comrade can
get one petition signed, he can get
the other at the'sam time.

age of 10 signatures per hour can be

the job. If the comrades will put in
at least an hour day for few days
successfully every Communist candi-
date will go on the ballot, and then
the real smoke of the Communist cam
paign will start.
An Hour Day for Communism.
Is the Communist movement worth
an hour a days effort from you, Com
rade Party or League members? Or
are you just one of those mere dues
paying, sympathizing members, but
not genuine Communist Party mem.
Der If you're a real Communist, let's
see you get out each day to get sig
natures. Make the Communist Cam
paign hum. Get signatures onto the
petitions, and help sting the capital
lists. Later we'll make it a death
sting for the capitalist system. Put
in at least three hours per day till
September Is.

tionary direction for the /. w. w.
even though the most active element
is largely though vaguely devoted to
revolutionary ideas. In spite of all
that had been experienced by these
delegates, in spite of the fact that all
were undoubtedly honest workers
gravely concerned for the interest of
the organization as whole, in spite
of the fact that they were more adj
vantageously placed by reason of their
being on the scene than are the great
bulk of members, and in spite of the
fact that the overwhelming majority
approved the motion, the indecision
and opposition of the minority is sig
nificant of a tendency throughout the
whole /. W. w.
The delegation from the Metal Min
ers split, two in favor of the motion,
one not voting and one not &C.
counted for. Indecision showed in the
non-voting of the one delegate from
the Lumber Workers, the largest
union of the I. w. w. The General
Construction Workers delegation also
split, two in favor and one opposed to
the motion.
When one calculates the fact that
the delegates are drawn from the
more active and more revolutionarily
inclined members, this opposition and
indecision represent far wider pro-
portion of non-revolutionary workers.
Even tho a later meeting wiped out
this resistance, still the mass of men,
bership which is remote from the ex-
perience of these delegates, have not
been turned into revolutionists any
more than have their delegates by this
single decision.

Indications of how the l.. w.
W. membership is reacting or
may react to the splitting tao
tics of the Rowan BoWerman
"injunctionites" are shown by
the action of a "Joint Investi-
eating Committee" representing
|. w. w. branches from several
industrial unions, some from
Portland, Ore, others from
Butte, Mont, and some from
Chicago.
These workers whose earnest
desire for the unity of the |. w.

Recommendations faction.
Tendency in Northwest.
Those from the northwest, where
the heavier membership inclines the
revolutionary thought of the l. w. w.
to be proportionately watered with
job unionist tendencies, showed dis
tinct leanings to the injunctionites.
However, when their desire for
unity prompted them to approach both
sides with suggestions that if leaders
of both factions would resign, agree
ment for unity could be had by call
ing in alternates for all resigning on
both sides, their faith in the Rowan
Bowerman faction suffered a severe
shock.
While the Doyle-Fisher administra-
ton agreed to this plan for unity,
when Rowan, Griffith, McMurphy,
Bowerman and the rest were APP
preached, the peace makers received
only non-committal, evasive answers
and were given to understand that
they were unwelcome. Bowerman
even went so far as to say, according
to reports: Il am going thru with this
injunction even if it breaks up the
/. w. W." Neutral and even friendly
delegates from branches in the north
west were practically shown the door
at splitters' headquarters, 241S West
Madison street.
Delegates Meet in Committee.
Following this cool reception, a
dozen delegates met as "Joint In
vestigating Committee" and, while
having no more standing than repre-
sentatives of branches of part of the
industrial unions, their decisions and
votes are indicative of the tendencies
within the general confusion. There
was one delegate from the Agricul-
tural Workers, three from the Gen
eral Construction Workers, one from
the Lumber Workers Industrial Union,
four from the Metal Miners, one from
the Building Constructor Workers
and two from the Finnish Workers
Club, a rather political appendage to
the strictly industrial" l. w. w.
After considerable discussion and a
somewhat infantile decision that they
"go in body and withdraw the in
junction." record vote was called for
on the following motion:
THAT if Griffith, Rowan, Ryan,
Bowerman, Trotter and Anderson do
not withdraw the injunction, there
shall be charges filed by this body
against them as disrupters or the 1.

against and two not voting. And here
