British Airnten to
Compete NTH u. s.
Filters In Big Flight

LONDON, March 19.-Stirred by
the start Of American airplanes on a
world flight, Great Britain is rushing
plans to enter the race and beat the
Americans around the world, the
Evening News declared today.
The Britishers will fly eastward,
whereas the course of the United
States army fiers is taking them
westward. Three royal air force
airmen, one at least using a Napiers-
Wicker amphibian plane similar TO
that which Sir Ross Smith flew to
Australia, are hurrying secret pre-
parations for start, the News states.
It had been planned to start the
British fight April Is, but the date
has been put ahead. The British
aviators have schedule calling for
completing Of the Globe Girdling
fight in three months, which would
bring them home ahead of the Amer
leans.

Workers Party
Is Organizing in
Clay County, S. d.

DALESBURG, S. D., March 49,
The first meeting in Clay county for
the Organization of a branch Of the
Workers Party was held at Dales-
burg, a little inland village in the
central part of the county, about IL
miles south of Centerville, South
Dakota.
Alfred Knutson, of Mitchell. s.
d., the district organizer, was pres
ent and explained the salient rea-
sons for such organization.
1t is safe to say that a movement
of this kind would have been greatly
ridiculed if attempted a decade ago.
These farmers who listened to Mr..
Knutson's explanations are seriously
concerned as to the future and could
readily understand why an initial
move must be made.
The old political parties in South
Dakota are in death struggle as
to leadership for the next Office
holding term. In this county the
spellbinders, the warehouses; are in
draw and the average man is con-
fused and disillusioned, with the re-
suit that not over one-fourth Of the
people will go to the polls March
25, primary election day. They are
disguised. Everybody can smell oil.

CRATER CHORUS
HAIL S MARINE
DENBY'S RETURN
welcome Home, Ned, "
Cries Detroit Mayor
By SHERMAN BOWMAN
STAFF Correspondent OF Federated Press

DETROIT, March 10. - Cannon
doomed in salute, airplanes from the
Selfridge (arny) field scared in
honor overhead, the police band play
ed patriotic music, shop windows
were hung with flags, whistles blew
on steamboats,, locomotives and fac
tories. A delegation was at the sta
ton with committee badges on coat
lapels; fag-decked automobiles, led
by police motorcycle division es-
cort, sirens shrilling, streamed thru
downtown streets, to the board of
commerce, thence to the city hall and
thence to the Detroit Athletic club.
It was the farce and fraud of well
coming Edwin DENLY, home in dis
grace after signing, away public oil
reserves.
A little group in the board Of COM
merce conspired to fasten DENLY as
hero in his home town. Newspa-
pers reported the jubilee on page
one. The mayor and others made
speeches at the dinner at the board
Of commerce. The American legion
and the army and navy club, thru
officials, lent their names to the Off
cial invitations and advance publicity
tho it was navy oil DENLY had signed
away.
Welcome home, Ned" exclaimed
Mayor Martin as the former. secrc-
tary of the navy entered the city
hall. Detroit has given you great
er welcome than it has any other
man. Altho there have been a
few stones cast in your path, no true
marine will find these insurmount-
able"
DENLY was formerly a member of
the United States marine corps. His
enlistment as a private at this coun-
try's entry in the war was one Of
the sophomorific political tricks that
have constituted his only means to
power. And he has learned no new
ones, it appeared, for he rushed from
the mayor while that dignitarys
mouth was open to shake conspicu-
ously the hand of ST Weingarden, a
newsboy who had followed the
crowd. 81 was one of his fellow
seamen on the U. s. S. Yosemite in
the Spanish-American war.
The welcome home was the kind
of party DENLY himself might have
organized for someone else under 81.
milar circumstances. He learned il
at college.
Altogether, the whole jamboree
was little sinister.
But 1t was delightfully."- farcical
too. AS the automobile parade NOV
ed between aisies Of pedestrians and
downtown workers gathered at the
curbs, there were grins on at least
half the faces, of amusement or de.
rision. True, no one broke up the
party by talking out of turn. But
at least no one was fooled, unles:
it was DENLY.

COOLIDGE SEEN
AS LIABILITY
TO WALL STREET
Morgans Would Choose
Another Henchman
BY FREDERICK KUN.

(StaR Correspondent Of Federated Presa)
NEW YORK, March 19.--An ennis
sary Of Wall Street has gone to
Washington and in a two-hour con-
ference urged Coolidge to make the
desperate dramatic gesture Of throw
ing his cabinet overheard, bag, bag
gage and oil cans. Since the rejec-
ton of this proposal by Coolidge,
Wall Street has been considering the
possibility Of some other presiden-
tial candidate.
Morgan's Ditching Call.
While one powerful financial
group is still clinging to Calls one
boss shay, sanother-no less potent
and said to embrace the Morgan ele-
ment-is reported to have declined
categorically to contribute to the
Coolidge campaign Golfers. There is
an intermediate group that retains
its hope that the white house will
admit some stage-thunder which may
throw the fear of G. 0. P. into the
voters hearts.
Regardless of the pool of oily in
trigue, in which the administration is
STEPPED, the preponderence of Wall
Street sentiment remained loyal to
Coolidge. Undaunted by the cabi-
nets implication, thru thousand
and one threads, in the mesh Of
waste, bribery, faIsehood and similar
sports, the financial overlords contin-
ued to put their stakes upon Cool
idge's presidential candidacy.
Worried Third Party
LoInvoA1J Dv.oue -, Ctri.si ac
among the big bankers show that the
imminent emergence Of the third
party, now believed to be certain, is
causing anxiety among Calls fnan-
cial cohorts. Wall Street opinion
is a ponderous affair, slow to gather
momentum, but all the harder to
check, once it begins to shift. That
is why the detection of section of
Coolidge's adherents on 'the Street.
may still devolve into an avalanche,
sweeping the presidents electoral
campaign into the rubbish heap.
An international banker of first
magnitude admitted to The Federat-
ed Press that even Wall Street is
beginning to realize that the frayed
false whiskers and blue spectacles
of the old party must be replaced by
more effective disguise. The
shrewder members of this set are
aware that the president, his cabinet
and the Republican and Democratic
vehicles are now dilapidated objects,
beyond redemption, except in the
eyes of the most credulous elector-
ate. The hunt is now in full swing
for some expedient that will white
wash the blacklist spots on the bat
tered parties hulk.
Hurry May Spill Beans
Replying to questions, the banker
described information, said to be in
the hands of the senate investiga-
tors, which Attorney General Daugh-
erty is employing ito exert pressure"
(as the libel-proof phrase goes) up-
on his bosom enemies in the cabinet
and senate. This information, of the
most compromising nature to infiuen-
tial leaders, may be made public, if
the attorney general feels that his
own position is no longer tenable.
1t is the danger of these further ex-
posures, as we'll as the morning-af-
ter taste of preceding revelations,
that is obliging Wall Street to re-
consider its support for Coolidge.

had become necessary to send dele
gates to Washington, d. c., to inter

cidentally somebody seems to want a

purpose a collection was taken up

Socialist groups while supporting the

tain changes made so as to provide
that none Of the Polish population,
now under Lithuanian dominion, shall
be admitted to this country. Mean

represented in the Lithuanian Coun-
Gil, formed upon the initiative of the
Workers Party branches, will have
nothing to do with that kind of inter
nationalism, but are taking active
part in the campaign to oppose all
these capitalist laws.
Big Meeting Planned.
The Council for Protection of For
eign-born Workers in the Jewish
nationality, now includes % organi-
cations, one of which is the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers local 80,
alone having a membership Of 900.
The Nalian Workers Party branch
es have succeeded in the campaign to
bring this matter before their ma
tionality to the extent Of having
twenty organizations, comprising
approximately 1000 members, affili-
ated to their language council.
The Local Chicago Council is plan
ming a monster mass meeting at
which Congressman Laguardia Of
New York, Senator Wheeler of Mon
tana, who is now on the committee
exposing the prevailing government
corruption, and representatives from
the Chicago Federation Of Labor, the
Socialist Party and the Workers Par
tv will be invited as speakers. The
I Council is also planning to get out
publicity material to familiarize, as
far as possible, every worker in
Chicago, with the various onslaughts
planned by the servile tools of CAPT
talism against the American labor
movement as a whole.
Lithuanians Hold Conference.
The Lithuanian conference for the
protection of foreign-born workers
was held last Sunday in Meldazis
Hall. 70 delegates representing
10000 members of various political,
educational and benefit organize
tions were present. The conference
was called by The Alliance of Lith-
uanian Workers Organizations in
Chicago district.
Notwithstanding the fact that
our real enemies-the mensheviks,
the reactionary nationalists, and the
clericals united in one block-sabo-
tagged by all means they possessed,
our conference was very successful
and enthusiastic. The delegates ex-
pressed their opinions for real
united front of all Lithuanian forces
in the common fight against the re-
dictionary bills introduced into the
Congress to enslave the foreign
born workers.
The conference elected a commit
tee of nine members with full power
to arrange mass meeting in the
near future. A motion was made
and carried unanimously to send
delegates to the meetings Of the
Chicago Council for the Protection
of Foreign-born workers.

Eugene O'NeiLPs Play
ROuSes Controversy In
PuritGnic NeIU York
By FREDERICK KUN
(StaR Correspondent Of Federated Press)

NEW YORK, March 19-The new
Eugene O'Neill play, gall Gods
Chillun Got Wings" which will open
in April, is arousing a storm of con-
troversy. The drama tells the story
of Negroes marriage with a white
woman; how they are bounded by
the subtle prosecutions of friends,
neighbors and townsfolk, finally seek
refuge in Paris, but realize at the
end that their sense of isolation and
inferiority has taken root within
themselves. Cast out by American
society, battered in the maelstrom of
race antagonism, each discovers ul-
timately that he, and she, are even
outcast from one another.
The New York press is besieged
with the usual letters of protest.
Rotarians and pseudo-reformers are
framing resolutions against the pre-
sentation Of the play. Their atti-
tude, of course, is that the subject
of intermarriage between white and
black must be hush-hushed. Critics
of O'NeilPs DRAMA. few of whom
have troubled to read the play, are
aghast that miseegenation should
find its way to the American stage.
They are undaunted by the fact that
intermarriage Of Negroes and whites
is common occurrence in this coun-
try and a social issue of growing i'm
portance. None of these critics APP
pear interested in the artistic merits
Of the play. They believe that the
solution Of disquieting issue is to
evade it.
AS yet, they have unearthed no
legal pretext for suppressing the
production.
