Defeat OF Liberal
Party Bill May Bring
Liberal-Labor Rift

LONDON, May 1.-THE proportion
al representation bill, sponsored by
the Liberals, was defeated in the
House of Commons today 2SS to IA.
1t is forecast that rejection of the
bill, due to lack of supper, by the
Labor Party will widen the breach
between the Liberals and Labor Par
ty and may result in an early gener-
al election.
Liberals strongly favored adoption
of the measure. They hoped it would
give them greater representation
in the House ofsCommons.

Cannon At May Day Meet.
The dressmakers held a big May
Day celebration yesterday with SPLEEN
did singers and several speakers.
James Cannon, member of the c. e. G.
of the Workers Party, addressed the
strikers for some time and made a
most favorable impression.
There is some doubt among the
strikers as to the exact terms of the
settlement with Hymen Bros. Three
of the active workers who belonged
to the Hymen shop were seen in the
strike hall yesterday while their fell
low workers had returned to their
places. The returning strikers had
made short parade down Market
street before entering Hymen Bros.
and were subjected to a lecture by the
boss who made some cheap pretense
of penitence.
Says It's 4o-Hour Week.
''The basis of the settlement" said
Meyer Perlstein, vice-president of the
l. L. G. w. u, twas the 40-hour week
and an increase in pay" When asked
whether this 4O-hour week applied to
all workers, including piece-workers
and time workers, the vice-president
said that it did.
The question was asked Perlstein
because number of strikers under
stood that the settlement with Hymen
Bros. had been on the old 44-hour
basis. The fight for their Saturdays
freedom was one of the main issues
of the strike.
One of the girls whose shop settled
soon after the strike began remarked
Indignantly:
Here I've had eight Saturdays off
and if my boss demands the same
terms as Hymen got, he can make us
take the H-hour week again. We'd
have had our nine weeks fight for

Injunction Cases Put OFF.
The cases that were scheduled ia
come up in Judge Foelrs court on May
Day were put off until May s. The
judge refused to work on May Day
after the DAILY WORKER pointed
out to him that it was labor's holiday.
Seven cases come before Judge
Hebel next week and twenty-eight be-
fore Judge Sullivan. The cases be-
fore Judge Foell are under the Grace
line injunction. All court cases on
the Injunction issue are likely to be
put off indefinitely or defaulted for
lack of prosecution if the Dress Manu-
facturers' Association cracks any
more and signs with the union.

1t was the Workers Party May
Day celebration. Max Salzman
of the Yougg Workers League
had just finished speaking when
the strike leader came striding
down the aisle and mounted the
platform.
Only Paper Supporting Strike.
"The DAILY WORKER is the only
paper in Chicago giving any support
to this strike" Holmgren continued.
"The News, The Tribune, the other
Chicago dailies and the Pullman Calu-
met Index and the other Pullman
papers are owned by organized
Icapital."
Holmgren told of the bigness Of
the fight the Pullman workers were
in and the need of extending the
strike to other departments. He de-
|scribed the progressive wage cut"
policy initiated by Francis Gun, eff
|ficiency expert. The progressive
wage cut" means cutting the wages in
one department at a time so that only
one group of workers will revolt at
one time.
Can't Work in the Air.
The steel shop men have fooled the
company, said Holmgren. They are
standing pat and extending the strike.
Soon the rest of the plant will have
to shut down for they can't work in
the air" if the steel shopmen refuse
to build the foundations for the cars.
Holmgren, who is a powerful
speaker, pounded the speed-up system
with the force of a rivet-gun. His
voice crashed thru the hall as he
iayed the driving piece work tactics
of the efficiency experts" who have
taxed the men to the last limit Of
endurance.
Like U. S. Government.
Only powerful union can check
this deadly speeding and prevent pro.
gressive wage cuts, emphasized the
speaker. The company union is use
less to the workers The company
union, he explained. is a plan 20 con
tiOA Tic 4 ullihdil WOIhtio just do Tie
United States government greater
company union-controls the workers
of the nation for organized capitai
as a whole.
This wage cut" said Holmgren,"
is to give former governor Frank
Lowden the cash to buy his way into
the vice-presidency." Lowden's wife,
formerly Florence Pullman, owns
most of the Pullman stock.
"They caught Lowden in the act of
buying the republican nomination for
president in 1920 said Holmgren,
land now he's trying to get the vice
presidency in 1924.
Hate to Be With Harding.
Harding got the presidency when
Lowden was caught. They didn't
catch Harding. Now he's gone to his
reward and I'd hate to be where he
is now"
Holmgren urged the workers to be-
gin their fight against Imperialism by
fighting Imperialism in Pullman. The
audience cheered him to the echo.
The collection OF nearly $50 was
turned over to the Pullman strikers

I The DAILY WORKERS own in
vestigation bears out this statement.
Men from the main office of the Pull
man Company have informed DAILY
WORKER reporters that there is
"lot of noise" but very little work in
side the plants. The effect OF the
strike has not only hit the entire
plant by stopping the current Of pro-
duction at vital point but it has
caused the workers in the other de-
partments to slow up while they are
thinking about the strike going on
outside.
Investigators who have been sent
thru the plant find morale shot to
pieces. Workers expect the company
to cut their wages if they hold their
jobs. For once the Pullman Company
has overreached itself.
Man Killed In Plant.
Great excitement prevails over the
report that a worker was killed by a
wild rivet run in the hands of an in
experienced operator. An ambulance
was seen removing a body but the
company is trying to hush the affair up
This has had disturbing effect on
the rest.
One man. who has quit since, re-
ported to the Brotherhood of Railway
Carmen, that he drilled only eight
holes in two days and spent the rest
Of the time cutting out rivets put in
by careless or Indifferent workers.
Hundreds of innocent workers,
lured by big promises from labor
agents in Battendorf, Iowa, Detroit,
Columbus and Dayton, have been
streaming towards the employment Of
fees. The few that got past the pick
cts quit when they found there was a
strike. The handful of scabs now
working are worse than useless.
Scab Herder Baxter.
An attorney is handling the cases
of workers who came here on the as
surance that there was no labor

A scab herder named Baxter" has
sent many here. Baxter, a former
freight foreman for the Pullman COM
pany, has been operating in Detroit,
getting men for the company He left
there for Columbus and Toledo where
he once worked as riveter Copies
of the DAILY WORKER will follow
him and balk his work The COM
pany's desperate efforts for scabs is
explained by the fact of the rush
order for new cars and their fear that
the strike will spread.
Great Mass Meeting Monday.
Two thousand copies of next Mon
days issue of the DAILY WORKER
have been ordered by the strikers.
This issue will announce the details
of a great strike mass melting Mon
day evening at knights of Pythias
Hall at Ill st. and Michigan ave-,
Roseland. John Holmgren, prominent
local Pullman citizens in sympathy
with the strike and speakers supplied
by the DAILY WORKER will address
the mass meeting which will explain
the strike issues to the workers in
other Pullman departments and to
their women relatives.
Twelve hundred copies of the

100000 QUIT
CHICAGO JOBS
ON MAY DAY
Great Celebrations For
International Labor

International Labor Day
which first wrote its revolution
airy message across a Chicago
sky was celebrated here Thurs
day by more than one hundred
thousand workers who downed
their tools and took May I for
themselves, not for their bosses.
Huge meetings were held by the
Workers Party and labor organ
izations.
The 100000 union men in the
ranks of the Amalgamated
Clothing workers deserted their
factories and jamm ed the
mighty Coliseum to the doors,
afternoon and evening.
Needle Trades Celebrate.
The thousands of members of the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers, from the cloakmakers and allied
crafts and the striking dressmakers,
took the day of and attended a
union entertainment, concert and
dance in the halls at 1870 w. Wash
ington st.
The Amalgamated Food Workers,
left their restaurants and bakery
shops and made gala day of it in
their headquarters at PA N. State st.
Out in Pullman, the strike of the
steel car builders received renewed
impetus and enthusiastic May Day
meetings were held in Stancik's hall,
morning and evening.
More conservative labor organiza-
tons which officially recognize only
the hundred percenters' Labor Day in
September when labor and capital
fraternize, did not join in the inter-
national celebration officially but tens
of thousands of their members took
the day OFF nevertheless.
Big building trades jobs failed to
show their usual quota of men at
work. Celebrating May Day" was
the answer to inquiries as to where
the rest were.
The youth were celebrating and
the old timers, remembering the
great May Days of the eighties when
the great eight-hour fights were on,
took the day off too.
Remember Chicago Martyrs
Many grey-haired Chicago work
er thot with reverence of Parsons,
Engel, Fischer, Spies and Lingg who
sacrificed their lives thru their early
May activities for labor in 1886 and
hundreds of workers made a pilgrim
age to the memorial to the martyrs
at Waldheim cemetery.
Sidney Hillman addressed more
than 10000 workingmen and women
at the Coliseum May Day afternoon.
He emphasized the May Day spirit of
solidarity which had won the Anal
gamated's victories.
Hillman spoke of the recent victory
of the union which defeated the
bosses attempt to cut wages this May
1st He explained the new employ
ment insurance scheme now going in
to effect by which all workers in the
union received 40 per cent OF their
regular wages during periods of I'M
employment, after the first week out.
HiIIman Lauds Russia
The Amalgamated's success in
organizing the great Russian-American
Industrial Corporation was emphasiz-
ed by the speaker who went on to
laud the Soviet Republic for its mag
niflcent achievements for the working
class.
Playing of the international" by
N. o. Berarinelli's band brought en-
thusiastic applause and thousands Of
workers Joined in singing Russian
songs with soloists.

ing the dish in cold water and chang
ing the water as 1t becomes warm
In moderate weather such treatment
keeps milk sweet and butter firm for
considerable time. Foods hot from
the fire may be cooled in this way be
fore they are put into the Ice chest.
Water us 1t evaporates absorbs heat.
This fact is taken advantage Of In
keeping food cool by wrapping the
dish In u cloth saturated with water
and also in the iceless refrigerator.
In cooling by the evaporation of wa
ter, the quicker the evaporation the
more heat absorbed and the lower the
temperature. Quick evaporation de-
pends upon a good draft of dry air
in damp, muggy weather these devices
do not work well. Farmers Bulletin
927, Farm Home Conveniences, gives
directions for making iceless refriger-
ators.
An unglazed earthenware fiowerpot
inverted in a dish of water makes a
miniature iceless refrigerator, convent
ent where only small amounts of food
need to be cooled. There are now on
the market similar porous coolers spe-
cially adapted to cover a milk bottle.
The unglazed earthenware water cool
ers used in some hot countries work
on the same principle, cooling the wa
ter by evaporation through the pores
in the earthenware.
A house or box built over spring
or brook is another contrivance for
keeping foods cool.
A well may be used for cooling
foods Ii it Is one used to supply
drinking water, great care must be
taken not to let food fall into the
water. An extra well may be used
for the purpose.
Heat-tight containers keep small
amounts of food cool. Fireless cook
ers and vacuum m-jacketed bottles are
well insulated and close tightly SO
that the temperature in them changes
very slowly. They may be used for
keeping foods cool as well as hot
Chill foods thoroughly before putting
them into the containers. If little

age. A dumb-waiter leading down
from the pantry or kitchen adds to
the convenience of cellar storeroom.
A shaft made of wood and plaster
and extending from the cellar through
the roof is another device utilizing the
cool air of the cellar. This is par
ticularly adapted to cool, dry eli
mate. Wire or perforated shelves are
fitted into the shaft at convenient
heights where it passes through the
kitchen or pantry, and here is also
door opening from the shaft. AS the
air in the upper part of the shaft
grows warmer, the cool air from the
cellar is drawn up. This constant up
ward movement of colder air cools the
food on the shelves. Where there is
no suitable cellar the shaft may open
through the wall of the house just
above the ground. Both ends of the
shaft should be screened.
A cave dug IN the side of a hill
maintains fairly low temperature.

Boiled Chicken Can Be
Serued on Shorfcdke

Cook the less tender chickens by
boiling, suggests the United States
Department of Agriculture. 1t is best
to disjoint the chicken when 1t is to
be prepared in this way. Pinfeathers,
the oil sac, and surplus fat should
be removed and the fine hairs singed.
After being well washed the parts may
be put Immediately into boiling water
sufficient to cover them and seasoned
to taste with salt and pepper. Many
cooks consider that a Glove Of garlic
in the stewing water gives an almost
imperceptible flavor, which improves
the flatness of ordinary boiled chick
On. A small onion is sometimes made
to answer the same purpose, but too
much onion destroys the delicate
flavor of the chicken. After 1t has
been cooked until tender, boiled chick
en- may be prepared for the table in
variety of ways. 1t may be
fricasseed in a gravy made from the
chicken stock, or served en- casserole.
If removed from the bones 1t may be
served in a cream sauce on toast, or in
patty shells. 1t may be used for chick

chicken are good, as is chicken hash
on toast. A very good way to serve
creamed boned chicken or chicken in
gravy is on split biscuits or short

Cold nir, cool water, and heat-tight

window box, the cellar shaft, and the

The most convenient kind OF win
