SUGGESTIONS THAT
ARE USEFUL FOR
ALL HOME MAKERS

Let the meringue cool slowly af=
Ter ii has been Drowned. If chilled
too quickly it is apt to become wa
terry.
Never press a stained garment or
lit will make, the stain permanent
and impossible to remove without
professional aid. Clean off all spots
before pressing.
When you have so much TO do
that YOU don t know what to do
first, just sit down for a minute and
plan it all out. Otherwise you will
not accomplish half of what you
set out to do.
School has started again, and
some of the bad habits acquired
during the summer months must be
stopped. Movies in the evening
prove very bad for the school boy or
girl, not only because of late hours,
but the excitement just before re-
firing is not healthful. Another bit
of advice is to remove the radio
from the bedroom of the young
hopeful. Otherwise you will never
know just what tire ae really dld

said Patterson, known around the Tribune Building in
Tribune Square, Captain. 81 don't believe will

1t pointed out to MIR. Patterson that the DAILY

facts about the Tribunes steal into the daylight The
indifference of the Tribune editor began melt.
Patterson would admit that he had the charges
In the DAILY WORKER. He said he would get a copy,
however, THAT HE WOULD THINK 1T OVER, but that
If he had anything to say, he would not say thru the
DAILY WORKER, but thru his own paper.
Just the Tribune is carrying on a hystercal cam

under the cloak of payriotism" wrapping itself In
the folds of the American flag. This good maneuver

Dubbs away from its crimes and perhaps get few
votes for of its owners United States Senator

1t easy work for the Tribune up its crimes
before the DAILY WORKER arrived on the scene But
stated yesterday the day of Tribune indifference to
public protest is The cheap ngoism of this kept
sheet of the big interests will not be able to profit longer
at the of Chicagos school children without the
workers of the city learning about it.

the naval oil leases. The Tribune and u. Senator Nc

NEW YORK, March 25.-With
ringing applause the delegates to

Conventional strong-endorsed
the convention of workers and farm
ers to be held in St. Paul, June II

large delegation from the New York

Another resolution instructed the

Joseph Manley, National Secre-
tary Of the Federated Farmer-Labor

which the foundation for q mass

disruptive forces in the independent
political movement of New York,
and who protested to st. Paul in the
name of the Farmer-Labor move
ment. He aroused a laugh when he
referred to:

lately Of Hoxie at University Of
Chicago, now trying to qualify as
horny handed sons Of toll and
hereto hunters"
O'Neil and the Reds.
AS for James o'Neil, the arch foe
of Farmer-Labor unity, Marley de-
clared in making his report:
81 don't know who this person
O'Neil is, I am not sure if he is
member Of the Department of Jus
tice or the socialist party. Judging
by his letters Of protest against the

ACQUIT KEENEY
OF MURDER FOR
ARMED MARCH
w. Va. jury Acts Quick
ly in Miners Behalf

FAYETTEVILLE, w. Va, March
25.-lt took the jury only few
minutes to determine that Frank
Keeney president District No. IL,
United Mine Workers of America,
was ''not guilty" Of participating in
the armed march of miners in West
Virginia in the summer of 1921. The
uprising was provoked after many
union coal miners had been muir
dered by the private Sfmy of thugs
that is maintained in this state by
the coal operators to prevent union
ization of their mines.
Indicted For Armed March.
Keeney, as we'll as other district
officials and many other union min
ers and their sympathizers, were in
dicted in connection with the
trouble and have been defending
themselves in the courts ever since.
The armed march trials began at
Charlestown in April, 1922, a few
days after the national coal strike
was called. VIM. Blizzard, a SUBJ
district president, was freed from
murder charge at that time but
oLner miners were convicted. j. II.
Wilburn, union coal digger preach
er, and his son, who were con-
victed and sentenced to Jail at
Charlestown, have since turned
states evidence-on the promise Of
freedom-snd testified gainst
Keeney at this trial. The defense
exposed thir perjuries.
Operators Financed Prosecution.
When the jury's clear verdict was
read in court storm of applause
broke forth. The prosecution was
directed and financed by the coal
operators altho the crime was sup
posed to have been committed
against the state. The states at
torney did not take part in the
trial, his place being AIKEN by law
yers for the operators. The Keeney
verdict is a big victory for the
miners, especially since the opera
tors had engineered the courts sue
cessfully to hold the trial in Logan
county, the hotbed of gunner and
non-union control.

Socialist President
GuzzIeS Food While
Cooks Picket Hotel

BERLIN, March 25.-Ebert, the
Social-Democratic president of Ger
many calmly dined on food cooked by
strikebreakers at Hotel Adlon, one Of
the most sumptuous Berlin hotels,
while pickets representing twenty
five cooks paraded in front of the Ad-
Ion Hotel with placards telling about
the strike. When the regular kitchen
force had gone out on strike the
management of the hotel engaged
strikebreakers. The pickets were on
duty to deter the scabs from working
and they displayed their posters in
an effort to deter people from going
in to dine. But the Social Democratic
president of Germany disregarded
the striking workers and their pla-
cards and went in for his sumptuous
meal cooked by scabs. AS the So
cial-Democratic Party Of Germany
has lost most of the workers who
were members of it, It would seem
that, in desperation, this Social-Dem-
ocratic Party is turning to scabs for
sympathy and support.

between the White and Negro work
ers in Chicago is good" we are
told by the Interchurch World Move
ment. During the riots Of July,
1919, separate white and Negro
workers in the same unions stood
manfully together in condemning
the outrage. Negroes are organ
ICED for the most part in the pack
ing industry. In 1919 Negroes were
found in 81 of the 80 various locals
Of the stockyards labor council"
Another example of the solidar-
ity of the workers of all races is
observed in the present garment
workers strike in this city. Every
morning, Negro as well as white
girls can be seen on the picket lines
along Market street. The workers
have learned the lesson that it is
not only disloyal and unprincipled,
but is against their own interests
to act as strikebreakers, no matter
what their race. In a union of the
workers there is strength for the
workers.
Whole Family Works.
1t is especially necessary for the
Negroes to organize in their unions.
The Department Of Labor recently
wrote: "The total average income
of the white family is $500 larger
than that of the Negro family. The
Negro husbands income is not ade-
quate for the family and the wife
and children are called upon to as
sist. In addition, dodgers are taken
in. The results are often serious.
The wife's strength and attention
are divided, children are exploited,
the family circle is invaded. In
the United States 43.7 per cent of
the Negro mothers are at work,
while only SO per cent of the white
mothers are at work. Twenty-Five
per cent-one in every four-of the
Negro children are at work while
1876 per cent of the white children
are working"
In spite Of this added labor Of the
entire Negro family, the income of
the Negro family is $500 less than
the white family income. In the
light of these facts, is it any won
uer thaC the uVlng standards OF the
Negro families are often lower
than that Of white families?
New Leaders Needed.
The old type of leaders of the
Negro Race instead of facing these
figures, talked of "good feeling" be-
tween the races. They tried to
teach the Negroes that by learning
trade, even tho humble one,
they would demonstrate their value
and the white employers would have
to raise their standard. This type
of leader was generally not a work.
er at all, but a professional man
or wealthy banker who was out of
touch with the workers problems.
1t is time recognition was given
the new type Of Race leader: the
scientific thinker who shows the
workers that their standards will
not be raised by the bosses until
the workers organize themselves
and force higher standards. The
workers and their employers have
nothing in common.

International Union on the original
demands.
The first two propositions were
voted down overwhelmingly and the
proposition to ask strike sanction was
carried by majority of 10 to 1.
A strike vote will probably be
taken Sunday. This will mean inn
mediate stoppage, and no papers will
appear Monday morning.
Under Militant Leadership.
Ever since the beginning of the ne
gotation with the publishers it has
been increasingly apparent that "Big
Six" is swinging to the left under
militant leadership. In, dealing with
the newspaper publishers the old adj
ministration of the international
Typographical Union, under the lead
ership of the infamous "Wahneta" ag-
gregation of reactionaries, headed by
the odious James M. Lynch, labor
fakir and Tammany Hall political
outcast, kept the members of the
union in a state of complete subjec-
ton to the whims of the publishers.
The chief boast of this administration
was that it was always on good terms
with the publishers. This machine
was shattered in the elections of 1922
when the progressive administration
under the late John Mcfarland came
to power. A militant attitude was
adopted toward the newspaper owners
and the underpaid printers succeeded
in winning raises in wages and reduc-
tions in hours in many Of the prin-
cipal jurisdictionsso the union. But
in every controversy the spokesman
Of the reactionary machine are al
ways found fighting on the side Of
the publishers and bewailing the good
old days when the union had no dis
pute with them.
At number Of meetings in the
early period of the controversy these
advocates Of peace and harmony in
the industry tried to throw a scare
into the members, but in December
II. NJ. Wicks, who as a delegate re-
presenting Chicago Typographical
Union No. is led fight that silenced
the ''white hope" of the reactionaries,
Jim Lynch, at the Atlantic City Con-
vention in 1922, opened up a broad
side on the apostles Of submissiveness
and defeated them decisively, arousing
a wave Of enthusiasm such as has not
been witnessed since the famous
forty-four hour strike in the job print
ing industry here. The floor leader
ship has definitely passed to the hands
Of the progressives and the officials
of "Big Six" are elated at the en-
thusiasm displayed by the member
ship under the stimulus Of such lead
ership.
Publishers Panic Stricken.
The Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton are panic stricken at the threat
Of a strike as they know they can
never operate their plants without the
assistance Of the membership Of "Big
Six" They have frantically tried to
aid and abet Jim Lynch and his
treacherous crew of labor-fakirs,
militia Of Christers," etc, in
their campaign to again gain control
of the international Typographical
Union, but the election for Interna-
tional officers is not until next May
and should they win (which they can
not dol they could not take office and
sell out the membership until next
November. In the meantime the

provision.
