all his heart. He never let down in Encouragement, least of all when he got mad. Most men who are good fighters can get mad on occa- sion.
 There was nobody from whom Cap- tain Pershing would not learn. He was always on the lookout for more information. He had growing mind, when the trouble with lots of men We know, it that they stop grow ing mentally at the same time they stop growing physically.
 At fifty-six when Pershing took command of the ;. E. F., he was still able to grow. The bigger the task the more capacity he had for rising to it. He struck his furrow deep and straight from the start in France, and the more roots and boulders he en- countered the stiffer he held the blow handles.
 Going to France with a little band of pioneers, an unprepared country behind him, the submarine menace at it's height in a crisis of the Allied fortunes, he neved once let down from that day to the end He faced reali- ties. He met the realities with vis- ion. When the people at home kept from the truth lest the Germans be encouraged, were thinking in terms of thousands he planned for an army of a million men overseas.
 Probably another General would supercede him, as had happened in other wars, but that was not his wor- ry. His duty was to lay such a good foundation that his successor would thank him for it. They might break him but on that day that he yielded the reins he would be found at the plough and not making speeches or playing to the gallery.
 Europe thought that we would send over a mob of untrained men to fight beside her veterans. Pershing was to give Europe surprise. He meant to have an army worthy of American manhood. The very fact of our un- preparedness and want of trained sol diers required an iron dicipline from the top. So we had it, sometimes misintepreted, but it's purpose was clear to Pershing irritating as it of ten was. But he also imposed iron dicipline upon himself as he kept at the plough sixteen hours a day.
 In European armies officers mostly come from the officer class to which they are born. America sent as her commander the man from the plough. In all his dealings with the allied statesmen and generals he remained John Pershing, plougher-also from Missouri-and it was his directness and simplicity which, through a sea of difficulties, kept our army intact

THE CHINESE may be slow in many respects, and may have ways that are devious and full of guile, but for pure, unadulterated brains they take the cake and the balance of the bake shop. Yesterday on the battle front of the rebel chieftain the army ceased fighting when rain fell, rain checks being issued, we suppose, and the game being resumed today. This shows that the combatants look on fighting as a recreation and do not allow their anger to carry them away. How different from civilized nations, where the rain would be damned up and the water used tc hold the ene- mics head under.

ST. PAUL MEET
Big Gathering of Union
lists Enthusiastic

The Chicago Local General Group Of
the Trade Union Educational League
held a most rousingly successful
meeting Wednesday evening at North
west Hall. A program even more in
teresting than usual brought out be-
tween five and six hundred enthusiast
tic Communists and left wingers who,
upon solicitation by Chairman Brow
der and Secretary Cannon, cleaned up
the whole supply of pamphlets, carted
off hundreds of LABOR HERALDS
for distribution and poured in scores
of subscriptions and renewals for the
leading labor magazine of America
the LABOR HERALD.
Comrade Cannon, as secretary, re-
ported the months activities of the
various local industrial groups, telling
how he and others had visited the
branches of the Workers Party, urging
intensified industrial activity by party
members. Meetings had been held with
the industrial organizers of the party
branches and with the prospective act
i've assistance of the Workers Party
mechanism, the future promised TO be
even better than the past. The League,
working through the party members,
must lead the workers generally in the
big fights approaching.

pected will negotiate with 1.-THE
AmaIgamated."
The strikers are meeting every
day in ten halls scattered thru
out the clothing district.
Old Time Spirit Lives Again
The old time spirit of the members
of the Amalgamated which has made
it one of the most powerful unions in
America is alive as never before.
The bosses who have attempted to
use the industrial depression to force
the open shop on the workers must
now see that they have started to play
with buzz saw.
Sidney Hillman, president of the
Amalgamated, summed up the demands
of the union as follows: First, to
check reduction of wages, Second to
stop the sending of work to non-union
shops and assure the complete union
shop, third, minimum wage scale and
the regulation of production and
fourth, unemployment insurance.
The progressive workers among the
rank and file of the strikers point out
that the demands for minimum wage
scale and unemployment insurance are
the most important in the list because
the sterilization of union conditions in
the shops would be impossible with
out them.
Strikers Attract Attention
AS the fifty thousand workers left
the shops at 1000 o'clock yesterday
morning they attracted lot of atten
ton from the delegates to the Demo
cratic convention. Many of the mems

This has been most glaring among
the employers who send their work to
contracting shops, which constitute
the largest portion of the market.
They withhold work from the CON
tracing shops in order to get reduced
prices with the consequent reduction
of the wages of the workers of these
contractors.
"a number of employers have also
attempted to bring back the so-calIed
social shop. which in reality is the
old sweatshop, where no protective
standards prevail. The competition
that results from these sources has
demoralized to a great extent the
New York market, and if not stopped
will bring complete confusion.
1.-THE Amalgamated is attempting
thru it's efforts at this time to place
the New York market on a basis
where these irresponsible elements,
which are detrimental to the industry
as well as to the workers, will be
held under control.

r...-s -. -, rlSLOe, a. tuG leuerat COURT.
Means and Jarnecke are charged
with conspiracy to remove liquor from
bonded warehouses.
CASTOR B. Means, former special
agent of the Department of Justice,
told in federal court here how Jess
Smith, friend of President Harding
and Harry Daugherty used his authori-
ty to investigate whiskey deals to col
lect some 100000 in graft. Harding
authorized Smith by means of a let
ter to undertake the investigation
and Smith hired Means and others to
help him.
Means received packages of money
from various persons and then turned
the packages over to Smith. Means
said he had received 100000 from a
Japanese and given it to Smith.
The refusal of Means and Elmer w.
Jarnecke, co-defendant of Means on
charge of conspiracy to accept $21,-
900 from Smith for repayment to per-
sons whom Smith thought were trying
to have him indicted, caused Smiths
suicide, Means said.
Means had also threatened to tell
all he knew about Smith and the wills
key deals to Congress if he was
called as a witness before any investi-
eating committee, he said.
Means said that it was necessary to
take the money from these persons in
order to get the information Presi-
dent Harding desired.
A man named w. T. Underwood,
whose address Means did not know,
was associated with Smith in the in
vestigation, Means said. Underwood
paid Means his salary and is paying
the cost of the defense in Means trial,
he testified. Underwood had refused
to give his address because he was
living with a woman not his wife, in
Washington Means insisted, when the
prosecutor tried to imply that no
such person existed.
It was during an eight-months' per
iod that Means collected the 100000
and turned it over to Smith. The
S400,000 was collected for about 10
whiskey deals.
Means testified that the letter to
Smith from Harding authorizing the
investigation, had been stolen togeth'
err with many other papers from him
during the senate committee investi
cation of the department Of Justice
early this year.

Their favorlte is that he stopped

Is that Chains heroIsm consisted
In firing on women and lone un-

recent disclosure of the agree
ment existing between France
and the United States, which he
signed ser pre-.
Poincare, that binds both cot q
tries to give mutual consent"
and to confer upon the wording
of any recognition statement be-
fore either negotiates with
Soviet Russia.
Premier Herriot started out
very bravely with his announce
ment that recognition of Soviet
Russia would be one of the first
considerations of his govern
ment.
Herriot Is Shown.
Then the diplomatic officials on
the Quai d'Orsay showed Herriot the
document drawn up between his pre-
decessor and the honorable" stiff
necked Hughes whose anti-Russian
policy is only too well known, and
the new French premier was in
formed that he also was bound by
the scrap of paper.
When Poincare looked at the Lon
don conference between the Soviet
government and Britain and said that
France might not reject an invita-
ton, Hughes Immediately informed
the Frenchman that he could do no
such thing and the matter was
dropped.
Herriot's Hands Tied.
AS the DAILY WORKER Of Chica-
go suggested, Herriots sudden ST.
lence on the question Of Russia is due
to the tying of his hands by the irk-
some agreement with the United
States, whose state secretary as yet
is quite unbending on the Russian
question.
French Ambassador Jusserand
signed the pact with Hughes for
Poincare.
Hughes has been more and more
chagrined as more nations extended
friendly hand of recognition to So
Wet Russia and is trying TO hold
France to his same unreasonable
bitter end" policy.
