WEDDING CEREMONY STOPPED BY DEATH
Victim Of Accident Was to Have Married Miss ACkerStrOm

Miss Julia Ackorstrom of 4S3 Park street, who was seriously in- jured when her fiance, Thomas Law less of Springfield, Mass, was killed when the auto in which they were riding was demolished by a Con- necticut company express train Wednesday afternoon, has a frac- tured shoulder, an abrasion on the chest. bruises and abrasions on the head and face according 10 a re- port from the Manchester Memorial hospital this morning.
 Tho abrasion on the chest gave the hospital officails and members of the family some concern yester- day and last night but an x-ray examination this morning showed that 1t was superficial. It was thought yesterday that she also had a fractured jaw, but developments today revealed that it is simply bruised. Miss Ackerstrom was vis- tied by members of her family this morning and was able to converse with them. She could not give clear account of the accident, say ing it all happened so quickly she hardly knew what struck her until she reached the hospital
 The version Miss Ackerstrom gives of the accident is different from that previously reported. She said she and MT. Lawless were start ing up Mclean hill, near Man chester. They were going up grade and driving slowly when a truck came down. The truck. she says, was coasting and the hub caps on both cars collided. The heavy truck threw the other car onto the tracks of the Connecticut company directly in front of a trolley ex- press. The motorman was unable to stop and the collision between trolley and automobile lifted the body of the later off it's chassis and carried it with both occupants some distance along the track, while the chassis was hurled into a nearby swamp.
 MT. Lawless suffered a fractured skull and other injuries and died later in the Manchester Memorial hospital. The car, which was the property of Frank McNamara of City avenue, New Britain, was de- molished. Mrs. McNamara and Miss Ackerstrom are sisters.
 Miss Ackerstrom and Mir. Lawless were to have been married ypstcr- day by MT. Lawless' brother who is l a priest in Springfield.

March 18th

Saint Patrick was one of the most useful
saints Ireland ever produced He is worth the
weight of his tomb in gold to the American
politicians. Democrats and republicans who
get their knowledge about Ireland's long
struggle against British domination from the
caricatures in the so-called comic weeklies and
from the burlesque stage, show an intense in
terest in Ireland on the 18th of March, which
is set apart as Ireland's national holiday for
what reason the Gods alone know.
They do this for very good, sound political
reasons. The capitalists realize that there are
millions of Irish workers in America, who, like
all the other national groups here, are very
interested in the events taking place in the
land of their birth.
The politicians capitalize this interest and
by pretending a great love for Ireland, and
giving an occasional twist to the lions TAIL
manage to get the Irish votes on election day
But while the Irish-Amercan capitalist
lackeys honor a dead saint and seek to hold
the Irish workers in America at the tail of
their political chariot, there are thousands of
Irish workers spreading Communist propa-
ganda among their fellow workers
They are teaching them that the question
of freedom for Ireland can only be solved
when the capitalist system is overthrow in
Europe and turnout the world. They are tell
ing them that the duty of Irish workers in
America is to join fighting party, the Work
ers Party that believes in and works for free
dom in all lands and for all peoples.

history of the world have so many
young men been instructed in so

A FRENCH MUSSOLINI

Mr.. Herve is acting true to the
policies that the socialist renegades
of all countries must logically fol-
low once they fight the attempts of
the workers to become the ruling
class in society. The form in which
Mr.. Nerves Fascism manifests it.
self may be somewhat different
from the form it has appeared in
Italy in the person of Mussolini.
Only the difference in the local con-
ditions prevailing in the two coun-
tries is responsible for this outward
difference. In essence Mussolinism
and Herveism are the same. They
both arise out of the policies of So
cialist betrayal pursued by the
apostles Of the Second Information
al. In times of stress the capital
lists Of every country have called
on these socialist renegades to save
their political and financial necks,
to save them from the wrath Of the
revolutionary oppressed and ex-
plotted masses.
Gustave Herve may not be the one
to be chosen the French Mussolini
but it viii be the program Of Herve
and the spirit of Herveism, at it's
worst, that will be the driving force
in French Fascist government
once it is established.

Bows Need Hero--Get Electric Chair

almost unworthy Of the name, hero.
This war president hero should
help the kids considerably to keep the
finger off the trigger.
Then we have the heroic heroes in
the Veterans Bureau who served a
dying multitude Of deluded soldiers
with nice pieces of thievery out of
the hospital larder, and the heroic he
roes of the teapot fraternity who
seem to have avoided the formality
of toll in connection with getting
their living, just as the four boys
who robbed the bank messengers, at
tempted to do. Line up your fine,
greasy American heroes before the
eyes of the boys-Denby, Fall,
Roosevelt, Doheny, Sinclair, Mclean,
Coolidge, Dougherty, Palmer, Burns.
Fine heroes, these.
They should help the kids consid-
erably to keep the finger off the trig-
ger.
And shall we not add the hero who
sentenced the four young bandits to
the electric chair, to our exalted list?
Had not his action and demeanor at
these trials been brazen and arbitrary
enuf to cause the comment of even
the most reactionary of our news
papers and the keenest lovers Of ven
geance? Were not his rulings SO
contrary to constitutional provisions
that even the case hardened attor-
neys stood aghast The papers said:
Motions for new trials, based on
many grounds, were made. Justice
Cropsey's actions during the trial of
the men were specifically attacked.
But the judge sat staring ahead with
out any emotion whatsoever. When
the lawyers had finished he quickly
spoke: Motion denied

kids considerably to keep the finger
off the trigger.

Get Daugherty

The investigation of the Department OF
Justice and Attorney General Daugherty have
only begun. The disclosures have already
revealed evidence of crookedness and cor
ruption on the part of cabinet othclals wnlch
are far more grave than those DroughC 10
light in the Teapot exposures.
EVERYBODY knows that the worst is yet to
come-if it will be permitted to come. One
tends to get suspicious nowadays whether the
whole truth will be allowed to come out about
the strikebreaking head of the Department OF
Justice. Such suspicious and misgivings are
especially warranted in view of the gentle
treatment accorded Mclean by Senator Walsh
when the former was given chance to get
away without telling the committee who is
the principal"
These Investigations must be pressed to the
limit. The workers and farmers have vital
interest to go all the way down the line In
these Investigations. The workingmen and
poor farmers are the only ones who are gen.
timely interested in getting to the bottom OF
the whole rotten affair. Obviously, these eX-
aminations will dwindle into nothingness I'M
less the workers get on the job and force
things bit.
First of all, the workers, particularly the
organized workers, the railway organizations,
the Executive Council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, and all other agencies of
the trade union movement should Immediately
arrange to come before the Senate Committee
and tell the whole country about the conduct
of Attorney General Daugherty in the shop
mems and other strikes. Alongside of the
crimes and outrages committed by Daugherty
and his gunner in strikes against the work
ingmen and poor farmers all the infamy and
all the blackness already fastened on Daugh-
erty appear angelic
The whole story of the Daughertys, Melons,
and Hughes will never be told unless the
workers force the telling. Regardless of polit-
zeal or other differences, all workingmen ought
to line up in one mighty effort to get Daugh-
erty, to get rid of the most brutal enemy of
the workers and farmers. The first step in
this direction is the disclosure of the crimes of
Daugherty against strikers and other workers.

Piece Work Discrimination.
Both Mrs. Book and Miss Williams
protested against discrimination in
the pricing of garments. Investiga-
tors may find sanitary conditions
good, but they don't realize how the
older employees are favored. If girls
complain Of price discrepancies on
garments that take approximately
the same time for completion, the
boss tells them to leave.
81 was actually paid five dollars a
week extra not to say nothing about
prices" Mrs. Book Indignantly as
serted. This was at Ribback's in
Evanston. "Mrs. Horwitz said that
he could send the dresses to the
farmer girls at Freeport who were
glad to work for less while they
were learning how to make their
own clothes' l found at Freeport
that there was no farmer girls em-
ployed, but just the same type Of
workers as in the larger cities.
SIS Maximum Wage.
"Fifteen dollars is the maximum
wage guaranteed the girls in Evan
ston now" remarked Mrs. Book. "And
when l asked the girls here what
they average yearly they say $18 to
$40. That is for the old-timers. And
when they are busy and make as
high as $35 they worl, from 1880 in
tho 11,ornino Tn 2.00 at NIGHT and sit
at their machines thru lunch"
At Lipson Bros. ten to fifteen col
ored girls are employed, according to
Miss williams. One of the brothers
personally supervises the girls and
on the pretext that the colored are
not so efficient, he discriminates in
distributing the dresses. When a
white girl protested against this
practice, she was offered five dollars
to keep quiet.
