The chimney Swifts. commonly
journing by the thousands in Wash

ping place while on their way to
their more northern summer nesting
places. An early evening scene of
interest is the sight of nyriads of
the swifts falling in compact black
clouds preparatory to disappearing in
funnel-shaped masses into the great
chimneys of the Jackson School. op-
posite Montrose Park, Georgetown
Last year the chimney swifts We're
here at this season in numbers, but
there were not as many of them as
have. appeared this April. In other
years, principally during the fall
migration southwark, the SwiftS used

but this year they So en- to have con-
centrated their flock, at the Jackson
School. 1t is estimated that about
$4,000 of the birds are using the
school chimneys for shelter at night.
Their. quarters are pretty well
crowded
Members of the Audubon Society Of
the District of Columbia are much
interested in this "multitudinous" ap-
pearance of the chimney swifts.
Every evening some time between
$50 and O'clock the bird clouds
gather for their descent into the
chimney depths. No one can tell on
what day the swifts will make up
their minds to continue their journey
northward. 1t is a passing show, but
one worth seeing.

OPPOSE MORE POWER
FOR DISTRICT HEADS
Thomas Circle Citizens Prefer Con-
gress to Retain Local
Functions.

A resolution opposing extension of
power of the District Commissioners,
as provided in bill now on Capitol
Hill, was adopted by the Thomas Cir
Gle Citizens Association last night at
II meeting in the Luther Place Me-
mortal Church.
Frank G.. Foster introduced the res
olution, and in the discussion that
followed it was emphasized that the
Commissioners were not directly re-
sponsible to those who are governed
by them in the District. On the other
hand, it was declared during the dis
cussion. persons coming from other
sections are liable to be, less preju-
diced by local attachments and con-
sequently can give consideration with
clear minds to problems of the Dis
triCt.
A resolution also was adopted plac-
ing the organization on record as
opposing the addition of two more
members to the Public Utilities Com
mission. Another resolution adopted
was one seeking substitution of juris-
diction of Police Court for Juvenile
Court in the compulsory school at

"This action of the government
deeply provoked the Bulgarian peo-
pie, and it forced the peasants and
the Communists into revolt. On Sep
TENDER IL, 1923, the Communist press
was suppressed, the party's property
confscated. General freedom of the
press had ceased to exist on June 8,
1928, and together with it also free
dom of speech, organization and as
semblage. All these rights of the
people had been suppressed. The
people from the villages and the
cities revolted, but the government,
with volunteers-M irregul-
ars, some traitors, supporters of re-
action and corruption in Bulgaria
together with General WrangePs ban
dts, armed with cannons, machine
guns and modern war equipment, met
us in the BATTLEFIELD, and we were de-
feated. Many of us were saved by
crossing the boundary line into Ser

killed sixteen men. Bulgaria is a
real hell now"
And this is from another letter:
'In the City of LON and the districts
of Ferdinand and Bercovica, more
than 5000 people we're executed
without trial. Many villages were
wiped out. With machine guns they
are shooting people in the villages in
groups of 40 to so, people from Is
to 60 years of age. Some of them
were burned alive, as in the case of
the revolutionist Kuncheff, from the
village of Jelezna, district of Berco-
vica; others were skinned alive, as in
the case of the teacher, Bobanoff,
from the village of Provala, district
of Ferdinand; some were beheaded
with saws, as in the case of the men,
Der of our parliament, Goron Botota,
from the village of Ljuta, district Of
Ferdinand. But the City of LON has
the highest record of all this vandal-
ism. LON is the grave of the revo-
luton. More than 1000 people were
packed on a barge and hauled into
the middle of the River Danube and
thrown into the water, and there was
a committee of military and civil re-
representatives. who pulled them out in
groups of ten persons, and then shot
them with machine guns and threw
them back into the river"

In Crosby, Mimi, the men had no union
While In that section last summer the writer
investigated the conditions under which the
miners worked and found them deplorable.
They were completely at the mercy of the
boss. Any miner who showed desire to form
union, if discovered, was summarily dis
charged. We now see the result The miners
without organization were not able to compel
the employer to protect them against the dan
ger which rested overhead and the inevitable
happened.
There may be another investigation. Some
body will be blamed and the incident will be
soon forgotten. But so long as the capitalist
system exists human life-that of the workers
will be held cheap, because the capitalist
system is concerned alone with profit. The
workers must organize in order to protect
their lives now against the criminal greed of
the bosses and to ultimately abolish the CAPT
talist system and establish workers rule in its
stead.

A Shiny Turncoot

One of the slickest political vaudeville ar
lists now doing big time on the Gompers cir
cult, is John L. Walker, president of the Illinois
Federation of Labor and former socialist and
farmer laborite. For long a believer in indie
pendent working class political action he had
the honor and esteem of the class conscious
workers of the state of Illinois and of thou
sands turnout the country who looked on him
as one of those who would bring the labor
movement out of the political quicksands into
which the fatal policy of Samuel Gompers has
led it.
But Walkers conversion is now complete.
No reformed roue, has ever thumped his craw
in repentance for his past sins with more mock
sincerity than his political pulpit FOUNDER who
now wears sack cloth and ashes for the sin of
having ever aided and abetted in inducing
the wage slaves to rise to their feet, stand
erect and tell the political parties of capitalism
to go to hell.
At>the last meeting of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor, Walker b1eated loud and long,
and the burden of his effort was that the
workers should vote for the best man no mat
ter on what ticket he ran, ad nauseam John
Fitzpatrick, one of the parents of the Farmer
Labor movemet, sat silently by while his poll
teal baby was being assassinated.
The only vigorous defenders of the labor
party movement today are the communists.
The workers will soon learn that shysters like
Walker have given up the fight, not because
they have changed their opinions, but because
they have followed the line Of least resistance
into the camp of the capitalists and their labor
lieutenants The labor party movement is
marching on and the ranting of turncoats Of
the Walker type will not stop it.

To Make Mexico Civilized

executives then in office, and coun-
tenanced by the United States sem
ate who made the bluff to investigate
and punish the guilty.
Perhaps the Mexicans will resent
our gentle method Of civilization and
perhaps they are not as docile as the
Filipinos and maybe they have civili-
cation methods more horrible then
we used in the Philippines.
They, the executive Of this, my
country are still civilizing the Philip
pines. There are nasty reports about
Governor Wood, that he carries af-
fairs with arrogant and despotic
hand. This is being hushed and the
word has gone out to "soft-pedal it."
The Filipinos were promised indie
pendence long, long ago. 1t is still
promise.
But the Mexican, the soldiers in
the field, who are but the citizens,
will not be fooled by the extended
velvet paw of the United States CAPT
talists. They saw that paw turned
into mailed fist in the Philippines
and they, the Mexicans are wary.
These editors who pirate interven-
ton, know that it will take 100000
American soldiers to subjugate the
Mexican.
They term It Intervention. these
gentlemen Of the associated press,
but they mean-warl bloody war!
They mouth, beautiful phrases for
"humanity's sake" knowing that the
sword will spill innocent blood, not
only Of the Mexican, but the gull
lible American youth, who will be
tricked in the fray, that it will be a
great adventure.
The Mexican is determined to be
free, independent and work out his
own salvation. In that determine
ton, he is ready to give up his life.
When the invaders again plant
their feet on Mexican soil, they will
meet united front, revolutionists
and Federals will appear and all that
the invaders will meet will be, the
united forces of the Mexican people
who will fight to the last man for
their independence and Freedom.

Profits and Human Life

Forty-three miners were trapped and
drowned when the bottom fell out of a pond
and flooded a mine in Crosby, Minnesota, adj
ding another tragedy to the many resulting
from criminal negligence of American mine
owners and of the government, whose duty it
is to see that the necessary precautions are
taken to safeguard the lives of the workers.
Under the profit system hundreds of thou
sands are needlessly sacrificed every year to
IasElnon. The capitalists care little for the
lives of workers who roll up their profits The
wage-slave does not cost the employer any
thing in the form Of an investment. The worker
comes to the boss and offers his labor-power
for sale. The boss purchases it and at the end
of the day or the week pays back that slave in
wages portion of the value he created for
his master. This enables the slave to go to the
nearest hot-dog emporium and secure some
fodder that will give him back some of the
energy he expended in enriching the boss If
the slave swallows a pups tooth or a cats
claw, treacherously hidden under the skin of
a frankfort and goes to the happy hunting
ground, five or six perfectly sound wage
slaves will be fighting for the job he left after
him on the following day.
Wage-slaves being cheap the boss does not
feel much concern over their tenure of life or
the conditions under which they work, unless
forced to do so by the organized power of the
workers. He resists to the last any effort on
the part of the workers to make their wishes
count in the manner of their employment He
calls it interfering with his right to run his
property as he sees fit" In his opinion the
workers should have nothing at all to say as
to how they should be employed. Wherever
the workers are not organized their wages are
lower and their work performed under greater
hazard than where they are organized. Even
where unions are recognized conditions are
bad enough.
