Murder in Illinois

The murderer of Boris Popovsl1y in West Frank
fort Illinois, is out on bail, furnished by the Ku
Klux Khan, and still on the police force of that
city. Probably he will not kill another young
worker until this case blows over In order to
be quite safe in the murder, Bozarth, the slayer,
performed his deed in the courtroom There was
but one Witness "justice," socalled, and he says
that he was so busy reading the paper that he real
Nv doesn't know if Bozarh delivered the blow that
crushed the skull of the young Communist.
Here is a case of cold FLOODED murder, com
mitted at the very seat of Justice" That the lat
ter was blind, according to tradition, is usual
in cases involving workers. Murder is quite "all
right in southern Illinois, when it is committed
against radicals, against workers. by Ku Kluxers
or other hundred percenters. 1t is but few weeks
since worker was shot in cold-blood, in reprisal
for the wounding of Glen Young the Volstead fas-
cist. Justice has not worried about it.
Recall the great hullabaloo that went up when,
In pitched battle precipitated by imported gun
men, brought in to break a strike at Herrin two
years ago. some of the scabs were killed. Remem-
Der how the Chamber of Commerce raised great
slush funds from private capitalistic sources, to
finance the attempt to hang the union men Of
Marion County, protesting that Herrin was a
"stain upon our fair State"
The Chamber of Commerce will not cry for the
punishment of Bozarth, the murderer of Popov-
sky; it probably helped raise the bail money for
him. The reason is, that while in Herrin the men
who were to be punished were workers who struck
against the coal operators, in West Frankfort the
murderer Bozarth performed his slaughter in the
service of the bosses. The courts Of Illinois are
instruments in the hands of the industrial and
financial lords. Labor will receive no justice there

The Super-State of Morgan

If the historic words of a French monarch 81

feudal society over which he ruled, then j. P
Morgan could well say today, 81 am the League
Of Nations"
New York money market reports state that all
reports of hitch in the negotiations Of the Lon
don Conference ON Preparations are being ignored
Foreign exchange continues to go up, stocks are
steady, and confidence prevails. What matters
it that a few premiers cannot agree? Do we not
know that Morgan is on his way to Europe, that
Ambassador kellogg is intervening in the name of
the U. S. Government, that two Cabinet Ministers
from this country there to insist upon Nor
gan's plans, and that already the puny politicians
are accepting the ultimatum that the final deci-
sion on all PREPARATIONS matters must be referred
to a committee of Morgan experts?
The Capitalist International is being consoli-
dated at London. It's left wing, the Second and
Amsterdam Internationals no longer make any
trouble for their masters; its right wing the
French nationalist, are being whipped into line.

That Question of Unity

A reader of the DAILY WORKER writes us
letter which, because it is quite evidently honest
and represents many who do not write, deserves
more than ordinary attention. He says:
~ have been reading your very interesting paper
for the last three weeks I liked II so much that !
stopped taking the Tribune which had read for the
last IA years
"eut there things do not understand
and which hope you will explain in early issue.
First, Why do you take up issue that will divide
the workers and have them fighting among them
selves, that is the religious question. You are con-
demnng the X. X. r. for that.
Second, In todsy's paper read where your sup
porters spoke to strike meetings at the Car Shops
and advised the to Join the Brotherhood OF
Railway Carmen. In yesterdays paper you say that
once the men were 100 per cent in this organization
Do not realize that the days Of craft unions are
about over7
First we would answer the Brother that we are
not dividing the workers on the religious issue
We condemn completely any organization Of the
workers on the economic field for denying full
rights in the organization on account of kind OF
lack of religion. We.want all the workers united
white black religious, rreligious Catholic, Pro
testant, jew. But that does not that we
cannot fight against all the supersttions that help
to keep these workers in slavery to the capitalists
Answering the second question should help our
Brother to understand the answer to the first. He
questions the correctness of advising the workers

Ernie Lang was arrested some
weeks ago by Rodney Salisbury and
brought into Justice court on a charge
of operating an automobile without
license. Lang plead guilty to the
charge and was fined the sum of So
which anyone will admit is a very
small fine. After some arrangements
with Reg. Tyler and the O'Gradys,
Raw Lang presented a claim to the
I county board of commissioners for
the S. and $40 attorneys fees in the
case. Reg. Tyler Immediately signed
the claim and thought the matter was

look the claims over. Mr.. Lundeen

tried to excuse his act by saying that

HOME RUN" BAKER NEW ROLE
Siezes Negro Fugative Supposed To
Have Assaulted His Sister-in-Law

Denying the charge of assaulting
Mrs. Norman Baker, wife of his en-
ployer, Carroll Gibson, colored, is
locked up at Easton, Md, while
growing disposition to take the law
into their own hands is heard. Mrs.
Baker is a sister-in-law of Frank
C"HOme RUM Baker, who was a
leader of the posse that captured the
Negro four miles from the lonely
farm house where the attack was
made on the woman. Circumstantial
evidence points strongly toward Glib
son. Early in the evening he drove
Mr.. Baker and Miss Dorothy Baker in
an automobile to Trappe, three miles
away, knowing that Mrs. Baker was
left alone in the house. At Trappe
he told Mr.. Baker he would not re-
turn with them. He borrowed a BIZ
cycle from a man there, returning it
in two hours, and then got a ride to a
Negro carnival in progress a mile
away. Mrs. Baker, prostrated by the
assault, still is too weak to identify
her assailant, but as mute evidence
against the Negro is a piece of an
outer shirt found clutched in her right
hand by her husband when he and
their daughter returned late at night.
This was identified as resembling one
worn by Gibson, who before his cap
ture had had time to change his gar
ments. There was danger of a race
riot when the negro, Gibson,
was taken at the carnival, and but for
the leadership of Sheriff William
Hopkins of Talbot county and of
"HOme Run" Baker, it is unlikely the
prisoner would have been lodged safe
| ly in Jail. Baker grabbed Gibson by
one arm, and said quietly: "Come
with mel" while another member OF
the posse exclaimed Lynch him." In
the posse were members of the First
Regiment of the Maryland Guard
who had been drilling in their armory
members of the Easton baseball team
of which Frank Baker is manager
who had just returned from a game
and farmer neighbors of Mr.. and Mrs
Norman Baker. The Negro was quick
ly surrounded and taken from hi
comrades before most of the merry
makers realized what had happened
The posse had been divided into thre
sections, and following the captur
the others were recalled to aid i
keeping order around the Jail, wher
the captive went to sleep a half-hou
after his arrival, apparently needles

SEEK BEETLES ON CANAL BANK
New Move To Prevent Jap Pest From
Gaining Hold in Delaware Started


Federal authorities in this state are
continuing to wage war on the de-
structive Japanese beetle. The latest
move in the campaign to prevent the
insects from gaining a substantial
hold in this state was taken recently
when Frank McCardell, in charge of
the local office, dispatched four scouts
under command of Field Executive E.
R. Geer, to Delaware City. The scouts
all of whom are familiar with the ac-
tivities of the dreaded beetle, are un-
der orders to conduct a thorough in
spection along the banks of the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. In
spectors have been stationed at Del
aware City for some time for the
purpose of inspecting craft using the
canal, but this is the first time the in
spection has been extended along the
canal banks. Commenting upon the
new orders, Mr.. McCardell explained
that the new inspection was being
made to determine if any beetles that
NAV have been ON the boats had flown
off and settled along the canal banks.
There is heavy growth of underbrush
along the canal banks, which would
form shelter for the insects. Once
established along the canal banks, the
beetles could burrow into the ground,
where It would lay its eggs. These
eggs would eventually hatch into
grubs, which would go down into the
earth nine or ten inches, where it
would stay throughout the winter
months. In the spring the grubs
would change to pupae, and farmers
throughout Delaware would suffer
from thousands of insects. Mr.. Nc
Cardell pointed out that this IS bet
a precautionary move, as no beetles
have been reported in that locality to
date. The closest the beetle has got
ten to the canal is Porter, where one
was reported on Monday. This beetle
was taken to Porter, which is several
miles from the canal, on basket of
fruit purchased in Wilmington.
