Tenants Petitioning
Court For Protection
Instead Of Striking

Two requests were made in Rent
ers' Court to Judge Samuel Trude by
]. Richie Patterson and Mrs. Mary
Holland representing the Chicago
Tenants Protective league.
The first request was that custer
proceedings preferred by landlords
against the tenants should take their
regular place on the court docket and
not be treated as emergency" cases.
The other request was that full bene-
fit of the six months stay" law be
given the tenant victims. This law
gives the Judge absolute power for UP
tn six months to determine tenants
tenure after the expiration of the
lease.
Judge Trude has over 1000 eviction
cases TO be cleared In his court with.
In the next few weeks. Just what his
stand on the petition Of the Tenants
Protective Leaue will be is uncertain
yet.

baked here when Judge Edwards re-

Nathan Bosen, one Of the union

to get its scab work done in Wauke-

foiled its plans there. Bosen was en-
trusted with the responsible Waukegan
post by Vice President Perlstein.
The Eisenberg firm begged hard for
the injunction, telling Judge Edwards
that they would be ruined by the
strike unless picketing was stopped.
The legal firm of Dean & Field, Sc
lected by Bosen, met their arguments,
and the motion for an Injunction was
quashed.
It is expected that the Eisenberg

They have only two scabs working in

secretary-treasurer of the federation.
On account Of retrenchment due to
decreased revenues, the convention
decided to have an executive secre-

assistant superintendent Munson, of

SAMMY SMEARED
With SCARLET BY
MORRIS HILLQUIT
But Russell Puts Him In
Rotarian Class
BY LuDwELL DENNY

(Staff Correspondent Of the Fed. Press)
NEW YORK, May S.-You may not
think that Samuel Gompers is a revo-
lutionist. Gompers does not think so.
But he is a revolutionist, tho he does
not know it, according to Morris Hill
quit in his New York GeDate with
Bertrand Russell, British scientist and
Socialist. The debate was supposed to
be on the question: Is the British La
Dor Government Revolutionary? with
Hillquit for the affirmative. But the ar
gument was over, What is a Revolu-
tionist?" Russell applied the test of inn
mediate action and method, Hillquit
was interested in ultimate aims.
Trade unionists and socialists are
both essentially revolutionary. Even
our own American Federation of La
Dor is inherently revolutionary much
as it's leadership would deny it. The
trade union fight leads ultimately to
the abolition Of the whole profit sys-
tenn"
Sam Once Talked Red.
This was Hillquit's argument. He
spoke of Gomper's testimony under
cross-examination by himself before
President Wilson's commission on in
'dustrial relations, in which Gompers
said unionists would not stop until
they got the full products of their la
Dor.
If wanting more is the test, replied
Russell, then not only the A. F. of L.
but the Rotary Club and Chamber of
Commerce are revolutionary.
THE aim of the British Labor gov
eminent is thoroughly revolutionary
and it's method potentially So" Hill
quit contented. Use Of force, he said,
was not the test, but the B. L. P.
would, if necessary, use force to pro-
tect it lawful Notwithstanding lawful.
Russell Points to British Takers.
Both in it's makeup and action the
B. L. P. is non-revolutionary, argued
Russell. He listed the five Lords in
the cabinet and spoke Of Halding as
an imperialist. He showed that
Thomas had prevented revolutionary
action by the workers on Black Friday.
Recognition of Russia, the one big
achievement was taken in the interest
of British capitalism and trade and not
out of sympathy with the Russian
regime, Russell maintained. The gen.
eral foreign policy of the B. L. P. so
far is only continuation Of the pre-
ceding governments, conditioned by
business interests. The British col
onies have received no more freedom.
The standard of living Of British
workers has not been improved.
A split in the B. L. P. after which
the majority group would take the
place of the present Liberal party,
was predicted by Russell.

MELONS FRIEND
THROWS HIM TO
INVESTIGATORS
Watson Deserts Sinking
Administration
Especial to The Daily Worker,

WASHINGTON, May S.-Sen. Jim
Watson of Indiana, who some weeks
ago sought to have the Senate abolish
his own committee which had been
selected to investigate the Bureau Of
Internal Revenue-because Sen. Cou-
zens proposed the employment Of
Francis ]. Heney to look into the
whisky frauds and other corruptions
in the prohibition unit of that bureau
suddenly announced, that he would
no longer oppose the employing of a
lawyer. He repeated his earlier at
tack on the oil investigation and the
disclosures of the corruption of
Daugherty's control of the depart
ment Of justice, but he backed out
of the position he had taken that
Secretary Mellon must not be invest
igated.
Watson's retreat and fight came on
the morning after the day-fatal to
the Coolidge crowd-when the Senate
adopted the Simmons rates of income
taxes after defeating the Mellon
rates, and the Democrats and pro-
gressives in the House, on six roll
calls, had smashed the railroad lobby's
hopes of preventing consideration of
the Barley railroad labor bill. The
administration was ION the rocks"
Watson jumped and swan for shore.
But Watson charged in the senate
that most of the investigation had
been devoted to politics-to trying to
get something to embarrass Coolidge.
He shouted that the people today held
the Senate in lower esteem than at
any time in the past. while that of
the presidency has gone up higher
than ever before"
"Did the senator say blown up?'
asked Ashurst, and the crowd in the
galleries laughed.

Exchange avenue.
Green was arrested on the
dawn of May Day as he was aid
ing the strike of car builders at
the Pullman gates and asked for
a jury trial at once.
Jury Fools Prosecutors.
Judge Edgar Jones denied him a
continuance this morning and the case
was rushed to trial before jurors hur-
iredly drawn. Prosecutor O'Malley
smiled when he saw that there was
only one union man in the box and
that another juror belonged to the
Industrial Relations Committee or
company union of the Armour Pack
ing company but the prosecutor didn't
know how much sympathy has arisen
in unexpected places for the gallant
fight against the big scab concern.
Detectives Mertz and O'Keefe, who
slugged and arrested Sam Green just
after the latter had finished selling
his bundle of DAILY WORKERS,
swore on the stand that Green had
been telling strike-breakers not to
scab.
A second offense was charged
against the Y. w. L. man. He was
charged with "snickering" at the de-
tectives. Mertz admitted that he had
replied to Green's demand to know

up some charge against you"
DAILY WORKER the Issue.
Prosecutor O'Malley, a Pullman
tool, ignored the legal aspects of the
case and frothed about foreigners"
"disrupters," radicals" and so forth.
He tried to picture Green's efforts to
assist the Pullman employees fight
against the wage cut as an attempt
to disturb the happy family relations
that he asserted existed in Pullman.
O'Malley laid special emphasis on the
DAILY WORKER, whose influence he
fears and insisted that no one had a
right to sell it to Pullman employees.
Attorney David Benthal, for the de-
tense, showed how absurd and ire
levant O'Malley's stuff was. The is
sue was simply whether Green's
peaceful work in behalf of the strik-
ers was within the law.
The jury stayed out 40 minutes
One of the Jurors argued for the COM
pany standpoint but the majority
overbore him and the verdict settled
the issue. Peaceful persuasion and
the sale of the DAILY WORKER is
within the law.
Spynow-Lescher Cases Put off.
Cases of Nick Spynow and Nick
Lessher were put off until May 16.
Officer Minton who fired two shots at
Spynow when he arrested him selling
the DAILY WORKER two weeks ago.
begged Spynow not to demand jury
trial. Minton did not conceal the fact
that he fears he will lose his job.
Lescher, arrested night before last,
and taken to the downtown detective
bureau, was gotten out on $400 bail
thru the activities of Alderman Govier
of his home ward. Lescher, strike
picket, was arrested as he was sitting
out of the rain in an auto owned by a
strike sympathizer. The auto was
parked on 18th street across from
the Pullman plant.
