West. The saloons and other less i'm
portant business houses were on the
principal of the two streets of the
tewn. The red light district occupied
the rear street, populated by white
black and Chinese women.
Cabins and little houses, the homes
of the married miners, were scattered
about the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS sides.
The snow fell deep that winter and
there was little to mark their locality
except the stove pipes and an occa-
sional chimney, sticking up thru the
snow.
The following morning as I was
going to work | passed Mccain S
POtOsi Gulch. A light was shining
thru the window.
That morning the old dope-fiend
was arrested at the stage office. He
had gone early with q box to be
shipped TO Salt Lake City. The
Sheriff was waiting for him. Took
both him and the box to Jail, where
upon examination the box was found
to contain high-grade ore, that would
run several dollars to the pound.
McCann was locked up charged
with grand larceny. A scoundrei,
nicknamed Tamarack, whom he had
sheltered in his cabin, had squealed
on him. Mac was facing serious
situation. Conviction would mean a
long term in the penitentiary. This
chase of the dilemma did not worry
him. He was thinking Of the tortures
he knew he would suffer if deprived
Of the drug that for years had made
life endurable for him.
About midday the Sheriff came to
the cell-door, saying "Well Mac, how
are you? With trembling voice,
"I'm a little shaky, must have some
medicine. On account of my nerves
| have taken morphine pretty regu-
larry. You know one who has used
as much of it as / cannot get along
without it. You can get it at the
drug store next to the post-office.
Tell him its for me, he knows what
I'll need for the night. You'll do
that for me won't you sheriff."

his feet. Putting scrawny, Scared
arm thru the bars, he groaned, Give
it to me. give it to me. God Sheriff,
I'm dying" The sheriff pulled the
short blue bottle from his pocket The
white narcotic filed it to the cork.
Systematically, Macs shrivelled hand
clawed for what he knew was sur
cease from his terrible agony. Ment-
ally and physically, he had already
nearly collapsed. The sheriff smiled,
Don't be in hurry Mac. you'll get
It You never wanted the stuff so
bad before, did your" Macs eyes
were filmed. His face was ashen
white. The fingers on his bare arm
that protruded thru the bars opened
and closed nervousiy. "Give me q

I'll go mad" "You can have it Mac;
but | must know the men who gave
you the ore" Mac did not raise his
head, but said, "You can kill me, but
I cannot tell you. It is their wives
and children that | am thinking Of"
He pulled back his hand. The grip
Of the other relaxed, and he sank in
miserable heap on the floor.
The company doctor was called,
resuscitated Mac with little brandy,
but was deaf TO his pleadings, and
would give him none of the narcotic.
The vile craving was gnawing vicious
ly at every fibre and tissue of Macs
body. His brain squirmed, his skin
creeped. Death would be his certain
release. but it would not come. There
seemed to be nothing but torment,
torture aggravated by the sheriff with
the little blue bottle.
A few days later they led Mac into
the court room more dead than alive.
The prosecuting attorney asked him
who the men were that were involved
with him in the theft of the ore.
He muttered, 81 cannot tell you"

larceny. Sentenced to seven years of
hard labor in the Boise Penitentiary.
He died there while serving his time.
They said he would sell his soul for
dose of morphine, but he stood the
fortunes of the damned, and sacri-
feed years of his life for-loyalty.

sufficient room for the treatment of
this item. The articles in question
should be written in the language
of the persons dealt with. Wherever
possible. special periodical for the
immigrants in each country should
be issued. Connections, however,
must already to that end have been
taken up with the revolutionary I'M
ions and the Communist Parties in
the countries concerned alike with
immigration and emigration.

THE question of immigration is
i now up before Congress, and IN
that connection it is interesting to
read the resolution of the Red Inter
national of Labor Unions on the sub
iect of workers migration This is
one of the resolutions passed at the
Third Session of the Central Council
Of the Red International of Labor
Unions, held in Moscow from June
Is to july 2. 1928. The resolution
reads as follows:
On Worker Migration
1. Revolutionary Labor Union
Centrals, independent organizations
and minorities sympathizing with the
r. I. L. u. must institute special
bureaus in those countries experience
ing emigration and immigration. The
bureaus will collect statistical mate
rial dealing with the number, sex,
age and profession of immigrants and
emiprants. They must likewise col
lect comparative material on the
wages of all countries, on dearths,
on the labor market, on the workers
protection laws, on methods Of em-
ployment and also general informa-
ton of interest to migrating work
ers. These inquiries and activities
will weld the possibility of a minute
study into the problem of migration.
2. In all countries of immigra-
ton, special committees comprising
representatives of the nationalities
Welding the largest percentage OF
IMMIGRANTS together with representa-
tives from the labor union central or
from the organized minorities SYM
pathizing with the K. /. L. U. must
be formed. Ii is the aim of these
committees to work out organizatory
forms and to effect a propaganda
for creating brotherly connections
and solidarity between the immi-
grants and the home elements.
Similar committees are to be es-
tablished in the most important CEN
tiers of immigration and in the places
OF work.
3. Periods of disturbance and
strike are favorable for conflicts be-
tween home workers and immigrants.
Employers and authorities making
use Of such opportunities excite ma
tionalist tendencies with view Of
splitting and destroying working
class solidarity. To avoid these dam
gers and so Illustrate ruling class
schemes, the immigrants must be
given n guarantee that their rights
and interests will be protected like
fhose Of the home workers. With

that aim. the immigrants should, le-
gally or illegally, according to the
particular countries legislation, he
induced to participate in the work
of strike committees.
4. The entire labor union press
of the countries of immigration, but
especially the press of the labor un-
ion declarations directly interested,
must systematically deal with the
problems Of immigration, reserving
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-01-26

3. Immigrated workers may in
no case form distinct trade unions.
They must, on the contrary, enter
the local organizations on exactly
the same conditions as the home
workers.
The labor unions must create spe-
cial language groups for those that
are not acquainted with the language
OF that area. Wherever deemed
useful, said groups may form their
own clubs for Propaganda and edu-
cation These groups are Obliged
to find out the most suitable forms
OF organization for attracting for
eign workers, especially those tempo
rarily living in the country, to the
labor unions.
8. In the home labor unions To-
cal sections, labor chambers. etc.
rooms should be reserved in which
immigrant workers can meet.
=. In addition to the problem Of
uniting the immigrant workers with
the help of the labor union organ
lzations and the questions of insur-
anee against accidents, invalidity.
age, ETC., the organizations endors-
ing the r. !. L. U. principles must
also give much attention to the util-
izing of the cooperative societies on
behalf of the immigrants.
3. immigration into Soviet Rus
STA is of special Importance. Offers
of immigration are being received
from workers, technicians, engineers.
etc, Of various countries Attic the
present economic situation does not
allow of big influx and an eco
monte utilization of emigrants. never
theless, qualified workers are badly
needed for restoring the economic
life. The emigration bureaus of the
organizations attached to the R. /.
l.. U. must study the question of
emigration to Soviet Russia. The
bureaus must register all petitions
and communicate with the cor-re-
spending organs in Soviet Russia as
we'll as with the Russian labor unions.
The bureaus should give special at
tention to the immigration of techni-
clans and engineers ready to serve
the proletarian Republic.
.. In the trade unions not affili-
ated to the r. /. l.. u, lively propa-
ganda should be developed on behalf
of the immigrants protection.
The private institutions, such as
employment offices, etc, that live by
sucking and tricking the immigrants,
must be mercilcssly combatted, and
il possible abolished.

zR73 TO Be NAMED
LOS ANGELES
Wilbur Says Airship Will Be
Reminder of Angels, Who
Sang at Christ's Birth.

Secretary Wilbur announced yesterday
that Americas new Zeppelin. which
crossed the Atlantic as the ZR-3, would
be rechristened Los Angeles"
Speaking at luncheon given in
honor of a group of visiting officers
of the ship. the Navy Secretary said
he wanted the great dirfgble to be-
come a symbol of peace between Ger
many, where she was built, and the
United States "and all others in the
world"
when the Prince of Peace was born
in Bethlehem" he continued, "the
angels sang Glory to God in the High
est and Peace on Earth In reminder
of this angel song L will name the
ship Los Angeles
Drink Toast in Ice Water.
DR.. Hugo Eckener. head of the visit
ing party, replying said 4 similar hope
that the ship would be symbol Of
peace was expressed by prominent Ger
mans before the departure of the ship
for the United States.
The luncheon was opened with a
toast in ice water, offered by Secre-
tary Wilbur to the President Of the
German republic and the President
a toast to our guests"
I'VE congratulate you upon the
successful completion of your flight
and upon the magnificent airship you
bring" Secretary Wilbur said. Your
visit is of great significance. You
have brought to us this splendid
product Of German skill and of scien-
tific ability. We wish this ship to be
a symbol of peace and of friendship
hat ho
sented. We wish you to feel that
when the German flag is replaced by
the American flag the ship you have
built still will fly a flag friendly to
the builders, the flag of a people hon
estly desiring the prosperity and
happiness of all the German people.
War, like sickness or contagion,
seems to come upon us uninvited. We
rarely agree as to the causes of war.
We probably could not agree as to
the cause of the World War. but we
do know that men everywhere de-
sire peace. Let this ship here be a
symbol of our hopes and desire for
peace. for peace between its builders
and its owners and all others in the
world. Good will-sometimes call it
friendship and sometimes love-is the
foundation of peace. We have only
good will for the German people"
Received by President.
DR.. Eckener and other members OF
the party were received by Presi-
dent Coolidge. President Coolidge, in
greeting the visitors. expressed pleas
ure that they had had pleasant trip
and added hope that they might en-
JOY their visit to the United States.
He recalled that he already had sent
his congratulations. but said he well
coined the opportunity to reiterate
them.
After his visit to the White House
today DR.. Eckener sent the following
message to Preside mt Coolidge:
Deeply moved and highly honored
by the gracious message of congratu-
lation which you were so kind as to
address to me, / desire to express on
behalf of the crew of the ZR3 our
heartiest thanks. / hope that the
pioneer voyage Of this commercial
airship will be the forerunner of air
ship lines between America and Ger
many, which will cement the friend
ship between the two countries so
kindly referred to in your message"

water just about compensates for the
fuel burned and the supply of bal
last is thus constantly renewed.
There is. perhaps, one more impor-
tant requirement for the fullest de-
velopment of airships. That is the
adaptation of the Diesel engine to
this purpose. 1t would dispense with
the highly inflammable gosoline, as
it burns oil. and would. [ am con-
vipced. give effective driving power.
! suppose dissertations about seen
cry have no place in a discussion of
mechanical possibilities, but l cannot
help but believe that the continuous
unfolding of overwhelmingly beautiful
pictures must be considered an i'm
portant detail in weighing the future
of the airship, entirely apart from
interest in the engineering problems
involved.
l was thrilled as I never shall be
again in passing over the Black
Forest. the beautiful Valley of the
Loire, the foam -wreathed coasts of
Spain, the Azores, bleak Newfound-
land and New England in the autumn
all in a few hours. This posi-
bility of combining a thrilling expert
ence with great beautiful viStas of
land and sea will, L am sure. lead
many to travel in this way who
otherwise might not do SO.
Predicts Regular Service.
There will unquestionably be regu-
lar service lines in operation be-
tween Europe and South America and
Europe and America. 1 do not think
they will give any competition to
steamship fines worth consideration.
They will carry fast mail. special
freight and a few passengers. Nat
urally they Viii not provide the
comforts of the ocean liners, with our
present lifting facilities. Probably,
for some time to come, about IL pas
sengerS will be all that can be car
ried with comfort.
Recalling again the performance of
the ZR-3, it will be noted that she
covered 1900 kilometers in so hours.
This showing was made in spite of
the necessity of a wide detour to
avoid the gale. The ship required
only Is hours from Friederickshafen
to Boston. From this it will be seen
that my estimate of possible cross
ing in so hours is not strained.
The best passages of the future
will be from west to east, as the pre-
vailing winds are westerly. The best
time Of the year will be in June AS
matter of fact, it was unfortunate
that we were required to cross in Oc-
tober, as it is by no means a favor
able month. i feel safe in predicting
that June honeymooners will find such
romance and beauty as they have never
known before.

have reached this conclusion as the
result of climatic test applied after
many years Of flying in Zeppelins.
The performance of the ZR-3 has
convinced me that the factors of
doubt and uncertainty have been
eliminated.
1t is now only a matter of pro-
viding certain additional. proven me-
chanical equipment, particularly ap-
plying to landing. Within very
short time it will be possible to cross
the Atlantic on Il 90 or 50 hour
schedule, with complete assurance as
to time and safety. Furthermore,
such aviation. by which both pas
sengers and freight will be carried
will be commercially profitable.
Engines Ran Perfectly.
As navigating officer of the ZR-3 I
was closely concerned with two main
essentials of her performance-pro-
pulSion and handling. AS to the first
OF these, | regard the showing of the
ZR-3 engines as ample demonstration
of the possibility of so Standardizing
