tity of the Workers Party? Not
only was such a proposal never
made, but the so greatly disgraced
old majority of the Executive COM
batted theoretically even the desire
of the close allies of Comrade Lore
to give up the identity of the Fed
Grated Farmer-Labor Party within a
greater Labor Party. It declared
again and again that the Labor
Party in itself is not our aim, but
that it must simply create more IA
vorable conditions for the organiza-
ton Of the proletariat as a class.
And for this reason our task after
the founding of the Labor Party is
not solved. And an organized left
wing in this Labor Party will make
our task considerably lighter. This
left wing is the Federated Farmer
Labor Party.
If at any time the Executive OF
any one of its members made q pro-
posal such as bhe one intimated by
You, it would have been your urgent
duty, Comrade Lore, at the deciding
session Of the Executive not simply
to give a few shabby moments to
the whole object of discussion, as
you did, but you should have sound
ed the alarm, by Immediately bring
ing up accusation against the treach-
erous Executive before the Commun-
list international. You did not do
that because no such proposal or
similar proposal was ever made by
anyone at any time. To make this
assertion however, at this time in
the debate, to say the least, is not
a wholly irreproachable tactic for
guardian of pure Communist prin-
ciples.

Set to Music by Max
Oberndorfer
By ALFRED v. FRANKENsTETN

Ralph Chaplin's "Night in the
Cell House," "Prison Reveille," and
"Prison Nocturne," set to music by
Marx Z. Obendorfer, were sung by
Raymund Koch, baritone, at the
first concert of the Chicago Solo
orchestra at the Blackstone theatre
on January 81. The poems are
cleverly set. The words are chanted,
rather than sung, and the orches-
trail accompaniment reflects slsilful-
ly the poignant protest Of the
working class poet against his iron
cage.

cere in his Interpretation. He seems

an Experimentation on principle.
The right wing Socialists have re-
placed the direct action of the masses
by miserable opportunist action of
individual members of Congress.
The left wing of the Socialist Party
did not adduce the correct lessons
namely, that direct mass action in
the factories, in the unions, on the
streets, must be combined with a
revolutionary stand in Congress and
in the various state legislatures, but
lit rejected parliamentarism entirely
without criticism, and it ridiculed all
ELECTION campaigns.
The Communist Party in America,
has arisen out of three elements: the
American Federation of Labor trade
unionists, I. w. WIS and left wing
Socialists. All these three groups
were opponents of political action
altogether, or were against parlia-
|mentarism. It is therefore no won
der that the young Communist Party
became prey to anti-parliamentary
cretinism and rejected all parlia-
|mentary activity.
The Workers Party Of today, has
theoretically correctly solved the
question Of political action and has
also allotted to election campaigns
and participation in parliament their
proper place within general political
activity, at least in theory. But in
airy fire of Ralph Chaplin, never to
have felt his dreams and desires
broken on the wheel of greed. And
so the poems lost some Of their
meaning and effect.
A Symphony Departure
The Chicago Solo orchestra con-
sists of twenty five instrumental
lists, conducted by Eric De Lamar
ter. Small concert orchestras are
no new thing in Chicago, for the
Little Symphony, George Dasch, di-
rector, has existed here for several
years. The difference is that Mr..
Dasch's orchestra plays standard
symphonic music, cut down for
small orchestras, while De Lamar
ter's will play only music written
for small instrumental combina-
tions.
The orchestra played, for the
first time on any concert platform,

And the Thief Escaped.

OTTAWA, Feb. 1.-Prof. John
Sharp saw a chicken thief prowling
about his barn early today. CARRIED
in his night gown and armed with
a lantern, he gave chase. Up into
the haymow Of the barn ran the
thief, the professor with his lantern
in pursuit. Finally Sharp got close
enough to hurl his lantern at the
intruder. The hay caught fire,
burning the barn, causing a $4,000
loss-and the thief escaped.

have Joined the other hunters at
Smyrna and Dover in arranging to
raise fund to purchase a good sup
ply of the Kansas rabbits to be added
to the number the State game warden
is to give each district, to restock the
different sections. If this plan is car
ried out farmers will be asked to keep
their dogs tied and not allow them to
run until next November, to give the
rabbits a fair chance to produce their
young ones. There is a strong feel
ing among the sportsmen Of this To-
cality that something should be done
quickly to increase the now fast dim
inishing game supply in Delaware and
Legislature for a change to bring
about the desired results. With this
object in view a convention will be
held at RehobOth in the early part of
the summer which will be attended by
all the game hunting associations in
the state. The sportsmen saw such a
small amount Of game last year, thai
they have decided to act in time to
take drastic action. If necessary ac-
ton, to put an end to what they deem
an unnecessary slaughter of game.

SOUTHERN GRID YEAR
 FEATURED BY UPSETS
Centre Gets Southern Crown, Alabama Confer
 ence Title And Oglethorpe S. l. A. A. Champ

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 3O.-Flagrant and repeated disregard of the form sheet has marked the southern football season. From early season games un- til almost the close, the play has brought surprise on the heels of astonshment. The game has been followed with more interest and by greater crowds than ever before and attendance records in many places have been broken both for single games and over the course of the season.
 With 9 members of the Southern h. tercollegiate conference and but three less in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association, it is impossible for schedules to be arranged bringing all the members together resulting in a more or less scrambled situation. In addition to other problems, one southern conference game remains to be played

PAINTERS BEGIN
 CAGE PRACTICE
Four Letter Men Back For Birmingham-South-
 ern Quintet

Initial call for candidates for the 1925 basketball squad at Birmingham Southern has been issued by Coach Har- old Drew, and Monday will probably witness the first regular practice of the Panther's cage team.
 Four letter wearers are back from last season, and around these the Pan- the mentor will build up his quintet, although current reports herald the com ing of new material which has not heretofore been tried out, and which might cause a major change in the per sonnel of the varsity team.
 "Skeebie" Caldwell, captain of the 1924 quintet, heads the list of the vet eran court men who will be on hand for the initial workout today. Caldwell held forward position on the team last year, and will likely play there the coming season.
 Teague and McDorman
 The center position will be we'll taken care of with both Sleepy" Teague and Clarence McDorman out for that position. Both men are considered like ly varsity material, and may be used in different places on the team before the close of the season. Little Ste vie" Stevenson is a forward back from last year who is expected to make q fight for regular berth on the quintet He went good at times during the 1924 season, but an injury kept him from the game during the closing games.
 From the Sophomore ranks is ex- pected to be reported some of the best basketball material at the Hilltop in- ott futt the fore here, having been regarded as one of the best Freshman players to don Gold and Black court uniform. He played in the B. A. c. games last season, but was not eligible for col legiate competition on account of the Freshman ruling. Other promising Sophs are Tate and Nelson( who won regonition during their first year as consistent players who were capable of varsity berths if handled in the right manner.
 Several "dark horses" are expected to show up for practice at the last minute, and are liable to cause an entire change in the present basketball situation. It is known that there are several fine court performers at the local college who are certain about coming out for the team, but it is expected that they will fall in for the workouts before the end of the week.
 No definite announcement has been given out concerning the Freshman practices. The Rat team has a bright outlook for a successful season, and with the large number of announced candidates out for places on it, the Freshies should be rounded into a winning quintet. Many prep and high school stars will be on hand for the initial practice, and plans are now being perfected to get the Frosh team in one of the city loops.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-12-01

The Blue basekteers of the B. A. C., who started off their practice sessions on the court during the past week, seem all set for one of the best seasons in the history of the club.
 Coach Erwin has rounded together a fine looking squad of basketball per formers, and from the collection a really star quintet seems likely to develop.
 Practice for the Blues will be held each night, following the first sessions last week. Coach Erwin plans to work the B. A. c. cohorts hard during the next two weeks, since the opening cage clash of the season will likely take place before Christmas. Practice was later starting this year than last, but the local mentor plans to make up in in tensiveness for the later call for work outs.
 Veterans Are Back
 Practically every member of the squad of last season is back in harness for the club, and in addition there are at least six newcomers whose presence will certainly add to the ability of the Club bers in the coming campaign. Those who will play for the B. A. c. for the first time this season are Fred Hahn and Jesse Duke, two luminaries from the Plains of Auburn, Tom Anderson, member of the Alabama squad last year, Mig Lawley, from Gulf Coast Military academy, Ham Stevens, Howard star, and Sands, varsity performer for Hampden-Sydney. These men will cer- tainly add strength to the local quintet, and due to these newcomers, local fans are already proclaiming a recordmaking season in store for the Blues.
 The old members of the team who will again perform under the White and Blue colors are Hub Hahn, Hugh Mont gomery, Ollie Hilburn, Armisstead Leake, Norman Mandy, Hungry Floyd, Martin Ferguson, Bill Mandy, Gene Me Roberts and others. Practically all of these were varsity players last season, when the B. A. c. had a good year, and the combination of these stars with the

 Stars Available

new talent seems destined to give them winning combination.
 New Men Are Good.
 All of the six newcomers, with the exception of Sands, are Birmingham boys or those who have played the cage game considerably around the Magic City, and local fans know their possibil- ities. Fred Hahn and Jesse Duke have been two of the mai stays of the Tiger quint at Auburn for several seasons, the former being a forward and the latter a guard. Their acquisition is certainly likely to crowd some veteran out of job. Ham Stevens played for Howard, and some for the B. A. 0. last season, and his flashy shooting of bas- kets at times stamped him as a real contender for the team.
 Mig Lawley and Tom Anderson are two former Central High basketball stars who carried their team to the state championship when they were members. This happened back in 1920-21, when the Central High quint was crowned state title winners in the first tourna- ment held at the Birmingham Athletic club. Since then, Lawley has been playing for the strong Gulf Coast Mill tary academy five and making a fine record. He plays center. Tom Ander son has been to the University, and last year played some consistent basketball for the Crimson machine. He plays either forward or guard.
 Sands played for Hampden-Sydney on the court, and is heralded likely can didate for the B. A. c. team. The abil- ity of this newcomer will be closely watched by followers of club basketball and the Virginia player seems set fo; a berth on the quint
