Alderman Jackson's Record
Meet Alderman Jackson, who must
knock about the disreputable houses,
gambling dens, bootleg joints, and
crooked deals which abound in his
ward. Alderman Jackson is said to
be worth a lot of money. As one
shopkeeper said to me, on Indiana
avenue, SThe high class, protected
dens Of vice, which operate on a
large scale, have put the small boot
leggers out Of business"
Into this complex Negro society,
the DAILY WORKER launched a
unique investigation. The DAILY
WORKER, the negroes tell US, is the

miles with companies of cattle;
and he would have thought his
character much injured had he
been obliged to be helped in such
a job. This was a boyisn feeling,
but characteristic, nevertheless.
"When the war broke out with
England in 1912 his father soon
commenced furnishing the troops
with beef cattle, the collection and
driving of which afforded John
some opportunity for the chase,
on foot, Of wild steers and other
cattle thru the woods. During this
war he had some chance to form
his own boyish Judgment Of men
and measures; and the effect of
what he saw was to so far disgust
him with military affairs that he
would neither train nor drill, but
got off by paying fines; and got
along like a Quaker until his age
had finally cleared him of military
duty.
"During the war with England
a circumstance occurred that in
the end made him a most deter
mined Abolitiunist and led him to
swear eternal war with slavery.
John was stopping for short
time with a very gentlemanly
landlord, since made a United
States marshal. This man owned
a slave boy near Johns age, a
boy very active, intelligent and
full Of good feeling to whom John
was under considerable obligation
for numerous little acts of kind
ness.
'The Master made a great pet
of John; brought him to table with
his finest company and friends
and called their attention to every
little smart thing he said OF did,
and to the fact of his being more
than a hundred miles from home
with a company Of cattle alone;
while the Negro boy (who was
fully il not more than his equally
was badly clothed, poorly fed and
lodged in cold weather, and beaten
before Johns eyes with iron
shovels or any other thing that
came first to hand.
"This brought John to reflect on
the wretched, hopeless condition
of fatherless and motherless slave
children; for such children have
neither fathers or mothers to pro-
tect and provide for them.
ale sometimes would raise the
question in his mind: Is God, then,
their father?"

His father at this time learned to
dress deer skin, and John, who
was perhaps rather observing,
ever after remembered the entire
process of deer skin dressing, so
that he could at any time dress his
own leather, such as squirrel,
raccoon, cat, wolf or dog skins;
and also he learned to make whip
lashes, which brought him in
some change at various times, and
was useful in many ways.
"At six years old John began
to be quite a rambler in the new
wild country, finding birds and
squirrels, and sometimes a wild
turkeys nest. Once a poor Indian
boy gave him yellow marble, the
first he had ever seen. This he
thought good deal Of, and he
kept it a good while; but at last
he lost it one day. It took years
to heal the wound, and I think he
cried at times about it. About
five months after this he caught
a young squirrel, tearing off its
tail in doing it; and getting Sc
verely bitten at the same time
himself. He. however, held on to
the little bob-tailed squirrel and
finally got him perfectly tanned,
So that he almost idolized his net.
This, too, he lost, by its wander
ing away; and For year or two
John was in mourning; and look
ing at al the SQUIRRELS he could
see to try and discover Bobtail,
if possible. He had also at one
time become the owner Of a little
eve lamb which did finely until
it was about two-thirds grown,
when it sickened and died. This
brought another protracted
mourning season; not that he felt
the pecuniary loss so heavily, for
that was never his disposition;
but so strong and earnest were his
attachments. 1t was school Of
adversely for John; you may
laugh at this, hut they were sore
trials to him.
John w3s never quarrelsome;
but excessively fond Of the rough
est and hardest kind of play; and
could never get enough Of it. He
would alwass choose to stay at
home and work hard, rather than
go to school To be sent off alone
thru the wilderness to very consid-
cradle distances was particularly
his delight; and in this he was
often INDUCED; so that by the
time he was twelve years old he
was sent off more than hundred

to work in any industry that en-
ploys child labor and to boycott prod
duets produced by child labor. Then
the unions can open their doors to
hundreds of thousands of these child
workers themselves. Certainly where
the law encourages those between IL
and 10 to work, these young work
ers' should be taken into the protec-
tive economic organizations of labor
even without dues, if necessary.
Our Program.
The immediate task for every
member of the working class is to
help carry these demands into effect:
u Trade unions and unorganized
workers demand the abolition of All
child workers under 16 years of age.
y Better wages in those indus
tries now employing children so that
the adult workers can have a decent
standard of living.
- Vocational training for work
ers' children, to be under the guild
ance of the trade unions.
81 Organization of all working
youth into the existing trade and in
dustrial unions without discrimina-
ton and on the easiest terms.

ON HIS own motion. William G.
~ McAdoo went before the senate
committee and explained at length his
employment MS lawyer by Edward
Doheny for which he received $780,
600. He maintained that his connec-
tion with the oil magnate had been
entirely proper and innocent, but said
he himself had recently terminated it.
He declared he considered Doheny
guilty of serious thing" but not so
guilty as he considered Fall. 1t was
the general opinion that Mr.. McAdoO
had failed by his testimony to re-es-
tablish himself as the leading candi-
date for the Democratic presidential
nomination. Seemingly he realized
this, for later In the week he asked
that his state managers nnd other
leading supporters should meet in Chi
cago on February IS to determine
whether he should continue as a can
didate. A really clever move, that,
which might accomplish that which
his appearance before the senator's
failed to do.
