United States Is
Bar to Workers
uLe in Mexico
Bv BERTRAM D. WOLFE.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. ia pro-
posal for the government to hack its
way thru the tangle of juridical OBJ
stacles to the pacifying of the coun-
try and the distribution of the land
and seizure of wilfully closed fac
tories by the establishment of mill
tary social dictatorship under Obre-
gon for the period of the civil war
will be made by DIR. Siurob lpro-
government in the chamber Of
deputies.
The plan is for a constitutional die
tatorship in the sense that it is to
be voted by the national congress.
This is to concede extraordinary fac
ulties in all departments of govern
ment to President Obregon. These
extraordinary powers are to last till
the pacifcation of the country has
been completed when he is to con-
woke q new constituent assembly to
revise the constitution of 1917 which,
however radical it may have seemed
to American petroleum companies
and big land owners and employers
of labor, Siurob regards as anti
quated and not in accord with the
social tendencies of our times.
All states are to be put in charge
for the time being of military govern
ors. These are to use their extra
ordinary powers to begin in earnest
the distribution of lands which has
so long been blocked by court pro-
cedures, injunctions, hostility of state
and local governments and legal
tangles generally. Once for all the
redivision is to be made thoro and
complete. All industries that have
been shut down without just cause
(many owners are trying to embar-
rass the government or lower wage
standards thru such maneuvers) shall
be operated by their workers thru
co-operatives or thru state controlled
organizations.
All citizens are to be subject to
possible draft until peace has been
restored. A commission is to be
named to consider compensation for
seized property. 1t is doubtful
whether the president will approve
these measures out of fear of his
"uncle"-Tio Sam-to the north.

McAdoo's Last Stand

Mr.. McAdoo the discredited democratic
white hope recently issued an appeal for a
conference of all democrats, "progresslves,
farmers workers, and what not, who had been
inspired at some time or other by his chances
for the presidency and their chances for pa
tronage as result of his success.
We are asked to believe that this confer
ence, to be held in Chicago today, is
called for the purpose of enabling public opin-
ion itself to decide whether Mr.. McAdoo is to
continue his drive for the White House. In
the words of this Latter Day Saint of Wilson
ian Imperialism CARRIED in the cloak of hypo-
critical liberal cant, this conference is made
imperative "by the appalling conditions pre-
vailing in Washington today-corruption
graft incompetence-have created situation
more dangerous to government than Bolshe-
vism itself"
Even the most amateurish observer OF the
Teapot tragedy can detect the hollow sound
in these ringing appeals to save the country
emanating from the oily corporation lawyer
of California and lower Broadway. I'VE can
see how Mr. McAdoo can become desperate,
but we must confess that we are somwhat
astounded at his developing a degree of des-
peration leading him to the unfounded belief
that he can pull the wool over anybody's eyes
today by the fraud of hand-picked confer
ence and an eleventh-hour appeal to 'the in
dex of public opinion" which he never con-
suited when his quarter of a million dollar fee
was at stake.
If Mr.. McAdoo and the big financial inter-
ests backing him had the slightest doubt as to
their being able to organize and manipulate
this conference in such fashion as to secure
his being implored and urged in the name of
the most sacred duties to and crying needs of
the country, to continue in the race and be the
standard bearer of "progressivism," such al
conference would never have been called. Mr..
McAdoo would then discreetly, with perhaps
less valor, have slowly and without much ado
have withdrawn from the race and would have
done some 'watchful waiting for better
day. If Mr.. McAdoo had felt that there was
any possibility of this conference telling him
cold-bloodedIy to quit, he would never take
chances on dramatizing the disaster that has
befalen him thru his contact with the oil
prince, Doheny.
The McAdoo discovery of greater menace
than Bolshevism is especially significant. It
shows that McAdoo is appealing to all ee-
ments of the capitalist class to rally to him IS
the least damaged in the calamity that threat
ems to overwhelm them.
Mr. McAdoo's latest maneuver is bound to
fail. The working and farming masses have
his number This number is exactly the price
Mr.. Doheny paid him in dollars and cents for
services rendered.

BOLD MUSICIANS
EXHUME BACH AT
ORCHESTRA HALL
Antiquities Featured by
Symphony Orchestra
By ALFRED V. FRANKENSTEIN.

By ALFRED V. RANKENSTEIN.
Antiquities of two very different
kinds featured the concert of the Chi
cago Symphony Orchestra at Orches-
ira Hall last Friday and Saturday.
The program opened with an over
ture by Handel in modern setting.
like the Gluck overture of last week,
this is a big, solid composition. COM
posed of solid musical rock.
A concerto for two pianos 4Ed or
chestra by Philip Emmanuel Bach
followed. 1t was played by the in
separable Guy Maier and Lee Patti
son. The younger Bach did not
revere the stiff style of his famous
father, as musicians Of later date do,
but wrote freer, more elastic music.
This concerto shows nothing remark
able, it is a piece Of pleasant stu
pidity. '''''' ''''--
The next number, miniature
symphony in three movements by
Schumann, is a little more pleasant,
but scarcely less stupid.
''King Estmere."
Leo Sowerby's ballad, "King Est
mere" for two pianos and orchestra,
played by Maier and Pattison, is by
far the best work of its composer
that we have heard. The ink on the
score has not been dry for a year,
but the poem from which the subject
is taken is very ancient English
ballad. 1t tells the story of king
winning his bride by magic, and
Sowerby has caught the spirit of it
most marvelously. The music runs
with great, pulsating rush and
spirit, with original and wonderful
harmonies and instrumental combina-
tions. Sowerby is the most important
American composer, and if he con-
tinues to write works like "King EST
mere" he will probably become the
most important composer Of the
century.
Another modern work, "The Foun-
tains Of Rome" by the Italian, Res
pighi, was played. A most unique
conception, this, of the varying
moods expressed thru impressions of
four fountains at different times of
the day. Shadowy, mysterious, pas,
toral is the Vale Giula fountain at
dawn, a dance of water nymphs in
the Triton fountain in the morning
sun, while more solemn and reflective
music paints the Trevi fountain at
midday. The poem ends in the mys-
terry in which it began, with the play
ing water of the Villa Medici foun-
tain at sunset.
Boring and Sleepy.
To conclude the program the corpse
of old J. s. Bach was exhumed again.
This time a concerto for three pianos,
played by Maier, Pattison and Arthur
Shattuck, was performed. The two
fast movements could have been more
boring, and the slow movement could
have been more sleepy. but they were
boring enough and sufficiently sleepy.
Next week Felix Salmond, cellist,
will be the soloist. He will play a
concerto by Lalo, and the orchestra
viii play the Beethoven first SYM
phony, a march by Debussy, Stravin-
sky's "Song Of the Nightingale and
selections from Berlioz's Domination
Of Faust"

Cheka was already beginning;
typewriters were tapping alertly,
chasing each other. And from out
side, into the life of the Cheka,
every minute, now in one room,
now in another, broke the ringing
Of the telephone bells.
Close by Klimin's ear the silver
telephone bell rang, and, vexedly
shaking his finger at Gornuikh,
Klirnin took down the instrument.
from far, far away came words,
incomprehensible, as if written on
rough paper. And the voice,
thru long inaudible, transformed
by the telephone, became sudden
ly recognizable, familiar. ~.
And Gornuikh noticed how XIII
minis face joyfully lightened, and
how it grew clear that he was still
young, tho the skin of his face
was grey and there were many
wrinkles under his eyes. But
smile of white teeth brought the
dawn into his face, and suddenly
he was young, and tenderly con-
fused. "What is the matter with
him?" thought Gornuikh.
"Good morning! Good morn
ing! Long from Moscow? At
the railway station? Send horses?
Good. s.. I'll come myself" He
stood up from the table and hung
up the instrument. "Comrade Cor
nuikh, here is Simkova come from
Moscow, bringing literature. /
have no time to spare for the
moment. Well talk later. :"
And he was already running
down the staircase into the yard.

Inspector Admits Evil.
"When the inspectors were at my
school one of them told me that if
it was private school he would or
der it closed and have policeman
placed at the door so as to prevent
its use till it was fixed up properly"
The board of education in making
public the report of the inspectors
on the Thorp school said the inspec-
tors found it all right and that it
had one of the best fire escapes in
the city.
"The men who do inspection work
for the various departments of the
city grow to have one track minds.
They look for specific violations of
specific city ordinances. When in
specting a city building they are well
satisfied if the building meets the
minimum requirements of the ordin-
ances. They are not authorized nor
do they think in inspecting build
ing, is this building the sort of place
necessary and proper for serving the
social purposes it was intended to
server They think only of the city
ordinances.
"There is no agency in this city
to pass on such a question. In erect
ing a school there is no one to ask:
will this building be socially serv-

"There should be such an agency.
There should be a social architect

Mr.. Hatch declared that he in

new school building for the Thorp
school to replace the present unsafe
and inadequate one.

Anticipated Pleasures

It was cold comfort that Senator Moses
brought to the Coolidge cohorts in the rock
bound Businesses of New Hampshire day be-
fore yesterday.
According to the senator the worst is yet to
come More and more prominent names are
to be unearthed as parties to the greatest fraud
for four decades.
"Those yet unnamed are greater in number
and of more consequence than the ones al
ready involved" declared the New Hampshire
solon
Only presidents are of greater Importance
than cabinet officials-who are already soaked
in oil-and Senator Moses must have meant
that the greasy trail leads straight to the
White House
AS American citizens we are prepared
Nothing that can happen can lower our opin-
ion of the present incumbent of the White
House, either as president or as politician.
Why did he keep the gang of highbinders
which composes the cabinet if he knew, as he
must have known, that they were engaged in
plundering the public domain without due
process of law?
He is either the poorest politician since u
S. Grant or else he knew and they knew that
he did not dare to ask for their designations.
Let us say right here that we are indulging
in no moral spasms over the Teapot Dome dis
closures, nor will we, even tho the President
himself is shown to have had guilty connec-
ton with the Doheny's, Sinclairs and other
small fry of capitalism.
If the whole administration is shown to have
violated every law of the land we will be sur
d-pleasantly-on because of this evil
dence of the weakness of the capitalist ma
chine-its failure to conceal and protect its
most ardent supporters in their speculations.
We hold that laws are made by and in be-
laws and they have the power to evade or live
up to them-as may be most profitable. They
break thousand laws every day but it is only
in situation such as exists at present-where
the middle class is dscontented and clamor-
ing for relief-that any but the always vic
timized workers pay any attention to the fact.
We do not share the indignation of the fear
less crusaders in the house and senate whose
own records are just as spotty-with oil or
steel or copper or coal--as the officials they
are showing up. We recognize the value of
their services, however, not to the cause of
good government as understood by the moral
ity squad of capitalism, but to the workers
and farmers of the United States who are
watching with intense interest the process of
denuding American government of its respec-
liability.
Senator Moses probably knows what he is
talking about. We hope so because the higher
the officials involved the more speedily will the
knowledge be spread that capitalist govern
ment, like capitalist business enterprise, con-
sists of trickery, fraud, chicanery-and force
when these fail.
