COLOrs viii Riot at
b 10 International
Bazaar Next Week

NEW YORK, April S-Preparation
for the Third Annual international
Bazaar, for the relief Of class war
prisoners, to be held April 1913 at
Central Opera House, 9th Street and
Bird Avenue, entered an intensive
stage this week. The Bazaar is now

ing programs are arranged for the
evening, and good dance music will
be on hand for the votaries of Terp-
sichore. Programs and special sales
will feature the afternoons and even
ings.
Most Of the booths are taken and
these will present an attractive scene
in the gay decorations and load of
good thinga: dresses, hats, ornamental
objects, books, confections, etc.
Norma Berman, secretary Of the Ma
tional Defense Committee, reports
gratifying flow Of contributed articles
for the booths. She urges the COM
rades not to let up, however, in their
efforts to obtain contributions as
there is still great need Of articles
and, Of course, the more things OBJ
tanned and sold the wider can be the
relief work.

Russian Industrial
Expert Finds u. s.
Capitalism SickIy
(By ROsta News Agency

MOSCOW, April S.-That the
United States is going thru such
a moment economically as To make
her greatly need Russia at the pres
ent juncture, is the purport of a
statement made to press correspond
ents by Mr.. Nogin, Chairman of the
All-Rtssian Textile Syndicate, Just
returned from America, where he
had stayed for two months on bust
ness.
81 visited great number of mills,
ports and banks, and have come to
the conclusion that America is still
experiencing a crisis" Nogin said.
''Thus, in New England, where the
textile industry is the most devel-
oped, a number of mills work but
three days in week and the ma
chimes work only at 40 per cint of
their full capacity. The same cur
tailment of production and sales
may be noticed in the metal branch
too. Both branches want orders
badly. Further, American shippers
are in the same plight, as l could
notice, among other places, at Phila-
delphia and on the Mississippi, and
they are therefore also interested
in Russia"
In conclusion, Mr.. Nogin stated
that representatives of American and
British manufacturers were coming
to Russia this spring to study con-
ditions Of Russian textile industry.

HIRAM OUT OF

Walloping in Michigan
Means He's Thru
tspec;.I TO The Daily worker)

DETROIT, Mich, April 8.-Hiram
johnson got the drubbing of his po-
litical career in the Michigan prima-
ries, according to the returns from
two-thirds of the states precincts
which put him nearly 100000 votes
behind Silent Cal. 1t means-say
political dopesters-that johnson is
finished as a presidential candidate
as the result of this two to one de-
feat.
The vote in 1888 out Of 1884 pre-
cincts gives Coolidge 1929 and
johnson 73,203 votes. Coolidge's
plurality is s9,026.
Hiram's attempt to rattle the
Teapot proved a tizzle with disil-
lusioned public which did not re-
member his having protested against
the transfer of the California naval
oil reserve to Doheny.
Dodged Newberry issue.
The Californians railing against
political corruption was another dud
because of the we'll known fact that
he lodged the vote to GUST Newberry
for buying his senatorial election.
Faced with the Hobson's choice of
voting for a sham progressive or a
labelled reactionary many progress
sive republicans refused to vote for
either while the Old Guard type of
voter made his mark after Coolidge's
name on the theory that it wasn't
worth while making change.
In Mooney Conspiracy.
Organized labor of Detroit which
has endorsed the Farmer-Labor prin-

Russian Coop Bank
Makes Great Strides
During Past Year

One of the surest signs of indus
trial recovery in Russia is the fine
record made during the past year
by the All-Russian Cooperative
Bank, report of which has just
been made public by the All Ameri-
can Cooperative Commission.
The number Of paid-fn shares in
the Russian Bank increased during
the year from $4,000 to $4,000. The
bank, which has Is branches and Is
agencies in the provinces, has on
deposit at the end Of the year more
than 100000 gold rubles. It's net
profit for the year amounted to
100000 gold rubles, Of which 25
per cent will be added to the cap
ital stock, 25 per cent to the fund
for long-term loans, per cent dis
tributed in dividends, and 7 per cent
set aside for cultural and educa-
tional purposes.
Due to the healthy financial de-
velopment Of the cooperative sys-
tenn in Russia, the credit operations
Of the bank were greatly increased
during TIE year. From October to
December alone they increased more
than rs per cent.
The management Of the coopera-
tive bank is now negotiating with
the All-Russian Council Of Trade
Unions an agreement whereby the
trade unions Of the country viii use
the bank as the depository for their
surplus funds. In this way. the
Russian trade unions will benefit,
as an increasing number Of Ameri-
can trade unions now are doing, in
the cooperative sharing Of any
profits made on the investment Of
their money.

all questions Of mutual relations be-

Socialists Still
Minority in the
MiLUGukee Council

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 8-The
socialist aldermanic strength will re-
main at eleven, and the socialists on
the county board will be increased
from six to eight as a result of last
Tuesdays elections, in which Mayor
Daniel w. Hoan was reelected on the
socialist ticket. The aldermanic coun-
ell will be comprised of IA non-par-
tisans and the eleven socialists.
The victory of James L. McCor-
mack, non-partisan, over Alderman
John Koerner was a further rebuke
to David S. Rose, so badly defeated
In the mayoralty race by Hoan. Koer-
ner was a supporter of Rose, and
consequently has bitterly opposed
measures sponsored by the socialists.
Rose Is Strike-Breaker.
David S. Rose, who failed to come
back in the election, made his first en-
try into Milwaukee in 1886 with OAR
lington guards during the steel strike.
Five Polish workers were killed
during the strike,-a fact of special
interest considering that Rose has
played for the support of the Poles
during all his later political cam
paigns. Rose himself is a Pole, his
name originally having been Rosin-
sky. And he has always championed
the Parochial schools which Catholic
Poles attend.
"Dave is jolly old boy" said G. s.
Shflar, district organizer for the
Workers Party yesterday. "Altho,
himself well advanced in years, he
loves to speak of the good old days
when he was in power, and when as
he puts it in his speeches there was
something on the table The open
town is one of his chief points. This
Iindecency works up the socialists into
the state of noble Indignation. OF
course, they are for decency and
against the Red Light district.
Neither the socialist party nor its
candidates for office has tried to
make it clear to the workers that
prostitution is social evil and can
not be eliminated as long as the
capitalist system is in existence, and
the working class girls are forced
into the factories to work under the
most degrading conditions.
Marxism Simpli6ed.
"Had Karl Marx, the great foun-
der of scientific socialism, lived in
Milwaukee in our enlightened days
he would not have to toll over the
three volumes of Capital. Berger
has it simplified in a nutshell. So
cialism is simply decency and honesty
in public affairs versus the corrup-
ton. At least this is the only issue
which is emphasized in the election
campaign.
Nothing was said by the candi-
dates regarding the real burning is
sues confronting the workers. Cues
lions Of wages and hours Of work are
conspicuous by their absence while the
question of taxes is given the most
prominent place. The same applies
to the housing conditions, unemploy-
ment, etc. 1t is we'll known fact
that the wages in this city are
amongst the lowest in the country
and that practically all the establish
ments in the city are working on the
open shop basis, yet nothing to that
effect was mentioned in the Golden
Rule manifesto Of the Socialist Par
ty."

DEBATE STARTS
IN CONGRESS- ON
I'M MIC RATION
Expect Final Vote on
Bill Saturday

WASHINGTON, April s.-The
House today settled down to a 12-hour
debate on the proposed two per cent
quota immigration bill.
From IL a. M, until IL p. M, de-
bate on the measure was scheduled
to occupy undivided attention of the
law makers. The days work will
complete general debate, and there
after discussion will be confined to
five minutes per member on amend
ments.
Opponents of the bill today adj
mitted there was very little hope of
blocking its passage. Objection to it
| is conferred on the proposal to make
the census of 1890 the basis for the
quota. This would cause a radical
cut in the immigration from Southern
and Eastern Europe, and a proper
tionate increase in that from North
erp and Western Europe. Final vote
on the bill is not expected before
Saturday.
And Spy on Foreign Born.
Representative Vestal of Indiana,
offering Secretary Davis alien regis
tration bill as an amendment to the
immigration bill before it got to the
floor of the house, confessed that its
purpose is to spy on the aliens and
deport those who protested at indus
trial abuses.
According to the secretary of la
bor," said Vestal, "the immigration
figures indicate that the workers who
have been able to secure admission
under our laws are not the kind the
employer says he needs. But we do
know this: That among those who
have entered our country are inn
migrants whose mental, moral and
physical makeup constitute a menace
to the political, economic and social
life of the republic; and to continue
to permit immigration at the present
rate, or to increase it, will mean the
practical destruction of our whole
industrial system"
He said he could see "no reason
liable objection in compelling aliens to
register once a year," and be ex-
amined as to their activities, so that
the department Of labor might know
'where such alien is located and
whether or not he is attempting to
assimilate American principles. :.
We know that individuals in this
country are preaching the cause of
Soviet Russia We know that indi-
viduals on trial for plots to overthrow
the government have not hesitated to
preach the gospel of Communism
rather than the stability and pros
perity Of American representative
government"
Vestal discloses his industrial slant
by proposing also that the bureau of
immigration shall determine the kind
of workers-skilled or unskilled-
who shall be admitted at any given
time. This will give the employers
the "kind of men they want" when
they want them.
Sees 200,oO0,oO Population.
Declaring that even without immi-
grafton, the population of the United
States will be 200,O00,0O0 in fifty
years, Representative Johnson, Wash
ington, chairman of the house immi-
grafton committee, today called for
the passage of the new immigration
bill "as much conservation measure
as any dealing with natural re-
sources"
There are 100000 Russians, 300,-
900 Italians and 10000 Poles who
have already applied for passports
and are endeavoring to reach the
United States he declared.

DOMESTIC COURT FORCE MAY GET
 SALARIES SOON
Judge Mayfield Expects Favorable Ruling On
 Test Case

Approximately $2,0O0 in salaries of clerks and other, persons employed in the Jefferson county court of domestic, relations, which have been held up by Judge Virginia Henry Mayfield, pend ing the outcome of suit u test the yconstitutionality of the law creating the court, probably will be paid within the next few days, according to infor- nation at the courthouse Thursday.
 Judge Mayfield's action was based on "a desire to ascertain the status of the state law creating the court before any additional county funds should be de- voted to that purpose, with possibility of their use being declared illegal. AL stheugh stating that payment of the Fchecks, would necessarily be delayed until the county treasurer's attorney had made ruling. on the case, she. said she did not think the county employees affected would be obliged to wait long.
 Keep Records Straight
 T. took this step to help the county treasurer keep his records straight" she said. 'I thought it would be bet ter to do this than to allow the salaries to, be paid and then attempt to have them returned in case the law should be found unconstitutional. Of course, my, salary has been held up along with the others" ~
 Quo warranto proceedings were i'm ''stitated April 12 by W. W. Harmon to test the constitutionality of the law creating the court of domestic relations, which was passed by the state legisla- ture. at it's last, session. The consti- nationality of the law was upheld by ERtid0o G' sR 1&r1Sfh. in rltlipU il. nounced about twosweeks ago, but the tase has been appealed to the supreme Court for final ruling. It was pointed ont at the time that the suit was filed that, in case it should be declared un- constitutional, several thousand dollars ln fines and the salaries of various of tieials might be declared forfeited.
 .AHe feel. sure Judge Smiths ruling will be upheld in the supreme court" Judge Ma yfield said, "but we do not wish to take any unnecessary chances.
