NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb. 20.-
Henry L. Fuqua today piled up a
heavy lead over Hewitt Bouanchaud
in the race for nomination for gov
ernor in the count of ballots from
Tuesdays primary. Returns from
the entire city Of New Orleans and
465 out of 1882 county precincts
gave a vote of, Fuqua 81,S52; Bouan-
chaud 63,649.
Attorney General A. v. Coco, who
prosecuted the famous Mer Rouge
Investigations of the murders Of
Watt Daniel and T. F. Richards, has
apparently been defeated for re-elec-
ton by Percy Saint.
Bouanchaud accused Fuqua of be-
ing friendly to the Ku Klux Khan.
Practically the entire Fuqua ticket
was victorious with the exception of
Justin F. Defechaud, candidate for
state auditor, who is in a tight race
with t. o. Harris.

Ontario Labor Asks
British Premier to
Keep JObLess Home
By ROBERT ScRAEFTER.


TORONTO, Feb. 2O.-The British
policy Of solving the unemployment
menace in Great Britain by subsidiz-
ing emigration to the colonies, espe-
cially Canada, has aroused wide
spread protest on the part of Can
adian labor faced by unemployment
here.
Speaking for the organized labor
movement of Ontario, the District
Trades and Labor council has tele-
graphed to the new British Labor
premier, Ramsey Macdonald, asking
that everything be done owing to
prevailing unemployment here to
counteract the immigration campaign
of the Ontario government in Great
Britain"
The unemployed workers in To-
ronto have organized and presented
the following demands to the local
authorities: "Relief work, hall for
meeting a letter protesting against
further emigration to be sent to
Premier Ramsay Macdonald, that the
stigma of labelling material given for
relief from the house of industry be
stopped and that some place better
than police station be provided for
the sleeping accommodation Of the
unemployed"
Mayor Hiltz agreed that immigra-
ton should be stopped until those out
of work are absorbed in industry and
pledged himself to take the necessary
steps with the state authorities to
accomplish those results. He prom
Used relief whereby work shall be
provided for at least 500 men until
May.
The fright to work" was asked for
by 800 unemployed assembled in an
open meeting at Queens park. Reso-
lutions were passed demanding either
work or full maintenance by the fed
eral provincial and municipal govern
ments on the basis Of union wage
rates. A parade to the Labor Temple
was prohibited by the police.

tile. The hundreds Of silent houses
were like enemies hiding weapons
the folds Of their wide dark
clouds.
"Well, we are on war-footing
today" Martuinov thought aloud,
and it occurred to him that at that
moment beside this alien, taciturn
man, he was going, with quick
steps, to suffering, to death which
was hanging over the silent little
town and at any time was ready
to submerge it.
The siren went on booming over
the town; it was echoed from the
railway station by the powerful
chorus Of the locomotives and the
whistles at the Depot, and the sum-
mons of these inhuman voices
rolled far beyond the town, over
the speeches. snow-covered fields,
among the quiet villages and ham
lets.
The summons was stronger than
the fear Of suffering and death and
from all parts of the town, hun
dreds Of people gathered towards
the Communist Company, making
their way thru the malicious wind
ing lanes. And Martuinov also
came into the broad lamp-lit court
yard Of the Communist Company.
Hurriedly, group after group, the
Communists poured in, and formed
quickly into platoons and so squads.
Martuinov also stood in the
ranks and dressed by the right in
his file.
There was no fear. It had re-
manned outside this busting court
yard, there, in the empty streets.
And Martuinov was ready to kill
himself for the ideas that had
taken possession of him few
minutes before.
He stood on the left flank, near
the gates, and those coming into
the yard passed by him, and the
lamp flung light on their faces.
Some Of the faces were per-
picked and intent, others quietly
thoughtful, others unrestrainedly
nervous. while in others burned the
powerful splendid fame of en-
thusiasm, burned clearly, like
bonfire on MINDLESS Summer
night. Women and girls came too;
some had not yet chased from their
faces coquettishly sly amusement,
others, forgetful Of themselves
earnestly sought some one with
their eyes, others laughed, nervous
ly and loudly.

stream Of that quiet happy life,
with its plentiful dinners, suppers
and morning teas. 49,.
Had there really been such a
life?
And from under the pillow he
pulled out a blue knitted waist
coat, the only thing left to him
from his home, the waist-coat in
which, jingling his skates, he used
to run to the rink,-there, on the
skating rink, he had made her ac-
quaintance. :. 0 bitterness,
'Pray, help yourself. :"
He put on his coat and went out
into the street.
1t had grown dark; a few stars
were showing, and tho the air was
keen, yet, for this night, the Spring
had stayed in town; the freezing
puddles glittered, but streams were
bubbling in the dark cutters.
Martuinov walked with quick
steps, and thought now Of nothing
at all, but heard all together, the
bubbling of the streamlets, the
dripping of water from the roofs,
the rustling of the bare twigs, and
the whistles Of the locomotives in
the station. But now all these
sounds were covered by another,
low, disturbing,-the siren was
bowling at the Power Station.
Martuinov, not understanding was
enjoying the lively music Of these
sounds. The streets were empty,
the little houses were quiet, and
only when he came to the Red
Army Club, Martuinov met a man
with coat thrown on in hurry.
The man came right up to Mar
tuinov and looked him straight in
the face. They recognized each
other--they had often met at the
meetings Of the Party.

COOLIDGE FORCED
COAL PEACE ON
PA. Mine OWNERS
Fears Coal Strike Dur
ing Presidential Fight

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. 20
That the Coolidge administration had
direct hand in the signing of the
three-year truce between the coal
diggers and the mine owners was
learned today by THE DAILY
WORKER correspondent. The Pitts
burgh coal barons came to Jackson
vile with instructions from Wash
ington that they must sign any sort
of an agreement rather than add a
coal strike to the oil troubles of the
Coolidge administration.
1t is an open secret that the cab
met officer who carried the White
House instructions to the coal plutes
from the smoky city is none other
than Herbert Hoover. Another cab
met officer was appointed to keep in
touch with Lewis. For racial and
other reasons Mr.. James j. Davis
was considered the proper man to
show John l.. Lewis the advantage of
being reasonable and not make wage
demands which the operators would
not grant.
Everything came off as planned.
The Pittsburgh coal barons, until now
the Idle hards" among the mine
owners, were quite tractable at jack
sonville, and signed on the dotted
line after little stage play to throw
off suspicion that they came in
structed by the Republican admins
tration not to kick over the coal bin.
1t should be remembered in con-
nection with this that Lewis is a
dyed-in-the-coal Republican even
tho his organization has platonic con-
nections with the Conference for Pro-
gressive Political Action, non-par-
tisan outfit.
The delegates to the Jacksonville
conference who have been here since
Feb. IL have left for home to report
the results Of their work to the men,
bers Of the union.
The agreement provides for meet
ing in Miami, in 1927 to consider
drafting Of another contract. mo
more strikes" is the new slogan Of
John L. Lewis. The agreement to
meet in 1927 is mandatory.
Immediately following the signing
Of the agreement, unions in all dis
tricts outside the central competitive
field, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and
Western Pennsylvania, were ordered
to proceed at once to make new agree
ments on the basis Of the old wage
scale.
There is very little hope that agree
ments can be reached In parts Of
West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky or
Tennessee. One hundred million tons
Of non-union bituminous coal are
mined each year IN West Virginia and
with the non-union mines in operation
In the other states this agreement
can be laughed at by the operators
who can shut down their union mines
and open up the scab pits. There is
no clause In the agreement to compel
coal operator to keep his mines
working.

saints.
Martuinov came home mechani-
cally, threw off his coat, and, as if
he were waking up, looked about
him.
A bed, bare table, with crumbs
Of bread on it. Books lying on the
chair. and general emptiness and
untidiness, as If in an uninhabited
room. And for a whole year, i'm
mersed in his work, Martuinov had
lived in this room.
The sight of the room was un-
pleasant to him. "Shall 20 out
somewhere ?" he thought aloud,
"but whittier, and to visit whom 2"
For, in spite of his devotion to the
revolution, in spite Of his intimate
work with them, he had no friends
among the Communists.
Once only during the Winter,
Martuinov had visited Matusenko,
who had almost taken him home
with him by force Martuinov
had spread yellow, creamy butter
on white household bread, had
greedily drunk perfumed, sweeten-
81 tea with cream-he had had
nothing SO tasty for a long time,
and he was naively surprised:
Elbow did Matusenko come to have
these things?"
And round-faced, attentive Matu-
senko, had smiled affectionately,
blinked his tiny little eyes and
respectively, but all the same with
a certain tone of housekeeping
pride, had entertained Martuinov.
"Take little honey, Comrade
Martuinov. My wife works in the
Food Committee, SO they give her
a very good ration. And do take
some milk, from our own COW. !.
A family man can provide himself
with everything. l am an economi-
cal fellow, and why should kill
myself with hunger? Nothing is
said about that in our Programme.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-02-21

Ha, ha! isn't that so, Comrade
Martuinov? Ha, hal Why are
you taking nothing? Grusha, en-
terrain the Chief :" jokingly but
sternly he said to his wife.
Martuinov caught the eye Of
Matusenko's wife, a full-breasted,
rosy blonde; he saw the gold lights
in the blue depths Of her pupils and
those eyes of hers spoke Of the
sweetness Of love, Of the pleasures
of the senses that Martuinov had
not yet experienced. And show
ing her white teeth in a smile,
Matusenko's wife pushed towards
him white butter-cakes, spread
with saccharine essence, and
said, spray, help yourself. :"
And Matusenko, in his thin voice
went on wheedingly dropping into
Martuinov's ear mawkishly sweet,
tidy words, like the butter-cakes
spread with saccharine.
Martuinov had looked round
Matusenko's room, curtains on the

and remembered the past, so re-
