Animal Carnival
In Music Was the
Honey Bees Knees
Br ALFRED V. FRANKENsTEIN

Camille Saint Saens, humorist par
excellence and master musician, oc-
cupied the entire program of the
children's concert of the Chicago
Symphony orchestra at Orchestra
Hail. The main composition was his
Carnival of Animals" a suite in
fourteen movements. The French
composer wrote this long time ago,
but refused to allow, its performance
until after his death. He died in
1921, and only now are we beginning
to hear it. The swan movement got
out somehow, and has become most
popular cello solo, but beyond that
it is all new music.
The composition calls for two
pianos, and they were played by
Rosalind Kaplan and Howard Feiges,
who look about 10 years old, and
who play as tho they were some 20
years older. The best music in it is
undoubtedly the swan movement,
with its smooth and graceful solo for
the violincello, which Mr.. Brueckner
played. For humor the elephant
movement takes first prize. The
theme is that of the Dance of Sylphs
from the Damnation of Faust. In the
Berlioz opera it is a fairy dance, high
up in the violins, while Saint Saens
makes it describe the playful, coy
caresses of an elephant, down in the
rumbling BASES. Another theme he
burlesques in the tortoise movement.
Here he takes the fast and furious
gallop at the conclusion Of Often
backs "Orpheus" overture, and turns
it into the slow, crawling efforts of a
tortoise.
Miss Kaplan and Mr.. Feiges had
their best chance in the movement
called "Pianists." The composer
himself was a pianist, and knew
whereof he wrote when he included
them with the other animals, and
placed them between singing bees and
fossils. And there are movements
about kangaroos and goldfish, q
cuckoo, horses Of Tartary, lions and
| jackasses.

Contractor, 5 Days,
w Ork er, 5 Years,
On Same Charges

WOODLAND, Calf, March r.
A recent decision here throws little
light on the criminal syndicalism sit
uation in California. A local con-
tractor was found guilty of introduc-
ing the defendant in a bootlegging
case to one of the jurors who was to
try him, and of discussing the case
with this juror. The contractor was
convicted of jury tampering and re-
ceived-a sentence of five days in the
Yolo county Jail.
In Sacramento, the nearest big city
to Woodland, Tom Connors, secretary
California Branch General Defense
Committee of the /. w. W., was SEN
fenced to five years in San Quentin
on the same charge-his offense hav-
ing consisted Of sending out from his
Office 10000 circulars favoring repeal
of the criminal syndicalism law, one
of which by chance fell into the
hands of man who was on the venire
for jurors in criminal syndicalism
case!

RATTLES TEAPOT.
BEFORE FARMERS
McMaster Is Radical"
During Campaign
By JOHN HENRIcKSON.
Especial to The Daily WOrker)

FREDERICK, 5. d., March IL
Governor McMaster is campaigning
the state of South Dakota for the u.
IS. Senate under the guise of radi-
cal.
Speaking here to large audience
he opened some of the secret closets
of the republican party and dragged
out such old skeletons as Ballinger,
Taft and Guggenheim Of the Alaska
coal and timber scandal and the more
up to date Newberry scandal.
Rattles Teapot.
He also discussed the present oil
scandal and the tariff laws which are
so oppressive to the agricultural
west, and he hit the unfair freight
rates.
In speaking of the Federal Reserve
Bank he charged the officers have
piled up enormous reserves and built
extravagant buildings. He tried to
impress his audience with the idea
that he was out to fight predatory in
terests, particularly the Standard Oil
Company. His object all thru his
speech was to show how consistently
Senator Sterling had stood for the
east instead of the west.
McMaster Zone time bankers, now
governor) wants a new job and he's
out to get votes, and he thinks his
temporary radicalism will help send
him to the U. S. Senate.
The farmers and workers of South
Dakota have been misled long enough
Il.
who do their campo )yning on prom
ises which they forget when they get
into Office, and they realize that both
the Republican and Democratic par
ties are controlled by special inter-
ests which are their exploiters. So
the governors chances Of going to
Washington via the Bolshevik route
is hopeless.
The farmers. and workers are unit
ing in an independent Farmer-Labor
party based on fundamental princi-
pies.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 12.-Or-

When the executive committee an
nounced that Missouri senator's would

branch Of the Workers Party forced
vote on a resolution TO compel the
conference to invite speakers from

Cal COOLidge'S Steam
Roller Is ard at
Work in Many States

WASHINGTON, D. c., March ~.
The republican party steam roller
IS working at maximum speed. 1t
looks as If the Coolidge machine will
sweep the New Hampshire presi-
Dental primaries. All reports re-
ceived so far from this New England
state indicate walk over for Cool
idge.
Colorado's handpicked convention
Of fifteen delegates has been pledged
to support Coolidge at the Cleveland
convention.
In addition to the district delegates
the Republican Party convention in
Kansas in which Congressman
Tncher, one Of the reputed leaders
of the so-called farm bloc, was the
dominant figure, has also pledged the
additional seven delegates at large
that Kansas sends to the national
republican convention.
The Coolidge clique in the Republi-
can Party has tucked away safely TT
delegates. The machine leaders are
boasting that they will sweep Coolidge
into the nomination on the first bal
lot. All they need is 555 votes to
nominate Coolidge. They are sure
of 500 at least.
OF the lit delegates so far lined
up for Coolidge, 70 are from
southern states and the Philippines.
No one seriously considers these dele
gates representative even of the
Republican party membership. The
southefn and Philippine crop are the
result of patronage and the power of
appointment welded by the White
House. The twenty-seven delegates
counted on by the Coolidge followers
in Minnesota represent the reaction
airy followers of the Preus machine
which was smashed in the last cleo
ton when Magnus Johnson was sent
to the senate. The 20 delegates COM
ing from Kansas are looked upon as a
gift to the Coolidge group in order
TO secure its support for the nomina-
ton Of Capper as vice-president on
the Republican ticket.

To The DAILY wURKER:-Re-
garding your request to send in
opinions about "a Week." l wish to
say that to my opinion It is real

for every worker, as it gives a con-
crete idea Of the struggles Of the
Russian comrades during those revo-
lutionary days.
Having lived thru that period in
Russia myself, l can also add that
the author gives us a correct inter-
probation of feelings, and a most
truthful story. That far I can see
from the chapters read. l am anx-
iously awaiting each new copy of the

shall distribute among comrades who
win read them and learn something.

gether in four small rooms. Another
case was reported to the Department
of Public Welfare of family in the
West side being forced to pay a rent
increase of from 60 to 125 dollars a
month.
An Obliging Landlord.
Unless some definite action is taken
by the tenants themselves, the land
lords will continue to disregard the
comfort and welfare of the workers.
The United Charities reports a case
as follows: when calls came to the
United Charities repeatedly asking
for County Doctor to be sent, it
was evident that something must be
effecting the health of the family. It
was not until after several weeks
of illness that Mrs. T told what
the real trouble was. The landlord
had shut off the water and the family
was suffering because of this. Mrs.
T had been ashamed to let any
ione know how she had been living.
She reported that landlords action
several times to the Board of Health,
and the landlord was ordered to turn
on the water, but within a short time
he would again turn it off. The T.
family was forced to move to better
quarters, but another large family is
occupying the same fat which the
T-s left, and will probably suffer
the same way"
In house on North LaSalle street,
formerly a mansion, the DAILY
WORKER investigator found on one
floor a man and wife, with their one
child, living in a single bedroom; next
door, was another family of three
living in a single bedroom; across the
hall were a man and wife living in
one bedroom, and on the top floor a
family of four were packed into two
small ro9ms. This section is con-
sidered high class housing district.
Thousands of dollars are spent
yearly by the wealthy Of the city to
breed race horses who are housed
better than the workers in Chicago.

RUSS EMIGRES
. SNORT WITH RACE
AT BEN|TO'S ACT
Driven Like Lice From
Old Nick's Embassy
Special to Ths Daily worker,


ROME, Italy, March 12th.-The
Queen of Roumania is in Rome. So
is the red flag of Soviet Russia and
the most disgruntled gang Of White
Russian pan-handlers, who were
swept out Of the old Cars embassy
by a group of Fascist scavengers sent
there by Mussolini to fumigate the
place and make it fit for communist
possession, when he recognized the
Soviet Republic.
Since the Bolshevik revolution,
these emigres were on good terms
with the Italian government and had
the honor of being recognized as
gentlemen even tho they had to be
supported by handouts "Hope
springs eternal in the human breast"
and the Italian breast was no excep-
ton, so it was expected that some day
the communists in Russia would be
overthrow and executed and then
Italy could get her money back.
However, it did not happen that
way and the counter-revolutionary
vermin who have infested the Rus
sian embassy were cleaned out the
other day. They are now grumbling
against Mussolini and charging that
he has betrayed them, which is UNI
doubttdly true, but that is Benito's
favorite sport and he is not worrying
in the least. He likes nothing better
than to write polite notes to Chicher-
in saying how glad the great Italian
people are to be on good terms with
the noble Russians.
The term "subversive" is only ap-
piled here in Italy to parties that be-
lieve in democracy or the parliament
tary system. Under this head come
the clerical and socialist parties. The
Communist and Maximalist parties
which frankly stand for the dictator
ship of the proletariat are put in jail.
At least they are not considered
"subversive" but only dangerous.
Don Sturzo, Sicilian priest, is in
hard luck. Mussolini detests him and
so does the Pope who is on very good
terms with Mussolini. Cardinal
O'Connel of Boston, U. S. A., who
made speech here the other day
praising the Fascist, is looked on
with great favor by the government.
He has considerable influence at the
Vatican and is expected to impress
the value of Fascism on the Ameri-
can capitalists when he returns to
the United States.
The Italian cardinals are not too
well pleased with the Pepe's inten-
ton to distribute red hats in America
with such reckless abandon, yet they
must recognize facts, and one Of the
most salient is that money makes the
papal mare go and it is rather scarce
in Europe just now. The Americans
are entitled to good wardrobe in
return for their dough.
