Weeks Disinfects
School Against
Paci6st Germ

FORTRESS MONROE, Va, May
3.-Military goose-steppers assem-
bled here today in celebration of the
centennial anniversary of the Coast
Artillery school, received an official
pat on their uniformed backs from
Secretary of War Weeks, who sent a
message warning them against infec-
tion by such heresies as pacifsm.
That certain Americans are not so
sure of the purity of American mo-
tives as they were during the war
hysteria seems to have penetrated
Weeks mind. "The rising sentiment
for pacifism in the country is due to
the confusion of thought resulting
from the world war" he said. 1.-THE
reaction Of many minds has taken
form in expressions of favor of uni
versal peace. We must be watchful
that national security is not thrsat-
ened."
Urging members of the school stan
not to rest their military efforts,
Weeks went on, Standing armies,
like the police of great cities. must be
retained. l am skeptical regarding
the settlement of International diff
culties by any other methods than
force"

Bankers Itch Over

BERLIN, June 3.-The bankers be-
hind the Dawes plan are irritated
over the delay in getting down to
business and setting the German
workers busy grinding out profits for
them under the new scheme to re-
store European capitalism to sem
blance of normally. The trouble is
that there are many conflicting in
terests and each capitalist group

the plan hook, line and sinker.

Wall Street Press
Agent Talks Loosely
of Monopoly Cancer

ATLANTIC CITY, June 3-'The
craziest idea in the world is that of
individual monopoly" said G. w. Bar
ron, publisher of the Wall Street
Journal, in an address to the Tan
ners Council of America He likened
a monopolist to cancer which he de-
fined as an individual cell out of
bounds fighting "for its individuality,
forgetful of its neighbor and the unity
of the system in which it dwells." It
kills per cent Of our people and 10
per cent over 40 years of age. Barron
referred to his relation to the Har-
ward medical school cancer research
department, but did not suggest SINH
lar activity to eliminate the human
cancers with whom he associates.

Leave to file petition demanding the
release of Phillip Grossman from the
Chicago Bridewell where he was sent
when a Chicago Federal Judge held
that a presidential pardon could not
apply to contempt cases was filed to-
day before the Supreme Court. Gross
man was a rich bootlegger who it was
alleged before a Senate committee

Coolidge.
The charges of influence" were
leveled at the Department of Justice
which prepared the recommendation
for Cheeseman's pardon. The D. Of j.
is appealing the decision of the FEEDER
al Judges to the Supreme Court.
The Grossman case attracted atten-
ton when the judges refused to re-
cognize a presidential pardon as be-
ing Of greater authority than a judges

Muscle Shoals Policy
Special to the Daily Worker.

WASHINGTON June Coolidge's
effort to deliver Muscle Shoals to
Henry Ford is linked with the billion
aires support of Coolidge as a candi-
date for the presidency in the report
of the senate agricultural committee,
just made public. The report is draft
ed by Senator Norris of Nebraska.
Telling of Fords anger at the sale
of the Gorgas steam plant to the Ala
bama Power company for $3,472,4S2,
Senator Norris goes on to relate how
this anger was turned to love and adj
miration"
Bride to Ford.
"To appease his anger" says the
report, "a vaeillating administration
publicly announced that the amount
received for the Gorgas plant would
be credited upon the 100000
which Mr.. Ford agreed to pay for
Muscle Shoals in case his bid was
accepted by congress.
"This kindly favor, perhaps super
induced by other considerations, so
pleased Mr.. Ford that his anger at
the administration was not only
turned into love and admiration, but
he became so violently friendly that
he himself withdrew as candidate
for president and announced his sup
port of the executive who had made
such liberal concession
The report shows the danger of

Pro-Soviet Major Calls
for Hidden Evidence
tsy The Federated Press,

NV YORK, June 3.-After ap-
parently dropping its attempt to vic
timize Captain Paxton Hibben, re-
serve officers corps, United States
army the war department has ordered
that new board of officers be con-
stituted to try Hibbens case. The
joker is that certain important papers
relating to questionable activities OF
the military intelligence division of
the war department cannot be exam
ined by Hibben. The department
rules that examination of such rec
ords by Hibben's counsel or the board
would prove prejudicial to the gov
eminent and against the public inter-
est"
Secretary of War Weeks ordered
the investigation last July after Hib-
ben had been recommended for pro-
motion as major. Hibben was charged
with holding beliefs favorable to enc
mics of the United States govern
ment" He has been active in Rus
sian relief and believes in Russian
recognition.
Wucu Il1DDcu dAlu Hlb COuuSCl OAdLu-
ined the papers in the case they found
that Al documents had been removed
from the office by the war depart
ment. The department now proposes
to try Hibben by eliminating from the
evidence these documents which are
damning to itself.
Addressing the adjutant general Of
the army, Hibben charges that the
proposed board of officers, under the
proposed limitations, is not the proper
instrument and demands court of in
quiry as provided by law and with all
its powers and safeguards granted by
law He is unwilling for the war de-
partment to evade thoro investiga-
ton which will show up its underhand-
ed frameup methods and demands vim
dication of his character and conduct
and retention as an officer by court
of inquiry.

More Christians
Wall About War;
Forget The Causes

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, June g.
The Presbytarians in convention here
have followed the same cautious stick
ng-out-of-the-tongue at war that the
Methodists and other Prince Of Peace
devotees have taken.
They suggest that more conferences
be called to resolve on the horrors
Of war; that all Christiandom CO.
operate to complete some sort of
machinery for peace that shall insure
that the beacon light of reason guide
the scrapping nations. They favor
United States participation in the
World Court but reserve the right to
declare war after arbitration of dis
putes.
The kindly Christians also make
the preposterous claim that those
who are asked to fight and bear the
burdens imposed by war should be
consulted when possible before this
sacrifice is required of them" No
hint of pacificists?
But the Presbyterians, like the rest
of the peaceful warriors of Jesus,
quite ignore the causes Of war, which
are rooted in the vicious capitalist
profit system.

Local Russian Paper
Turns Front Towards
Counter Revolution

Under the disguise of a Soviet
Russia free of Communist dictator
ship" the local Russian daily, Russky
Vestnik, which changed It's name from
Free Russia, launched an attack
against the Communist Party of Rus
STA and the Soviet government.
In articles published lately, the pa
per accuses the Soviet government of
working for the welfare of the world
forgetting at the same time the well
fare of our country" The old worn
out lies spread by the counter revo-
lutionary agents and the respectable
governments" about the famous Boil
shevik gold, are being repeated in
this sheet.
While reprinting from the Moscow
Izvestia the report of the American
delegation of the Young Workers
League to the Y G. l., the paper
states that it is all right to organize
the young workers, but why do it
with the money of the Russian peo-
pie. why rob the Russian workers for
the sake of the negroes in Africa, etc.
"The ruling party is wasting the
peoples money, concludes this new
savior of the Russian people
The paper was established few
years ago with the pennies of Russ
sian workers and peasants, mostly
members of the Independent local
Russian church, which split away
from the old czarist's church before
the war. Since the revolution, the
paper was always more or less sym
pathetic to the revolution and to the
Soviet government. But the paper
was always poor and finally was
forced to sell out to few enterpris-
ing individuals who TRY to make mon
ey out Of that paper by changing
front.

France And England
Fight For Reported
Death-Dealing Ray

LONDON, June 3.-Behind doors
that were barred and locked and
heavily guarded, death dealing ray
invented by Grindell Mathews, was
tested, in the presence of air ministry
officials today.
The death ray, claimed as a terrible
weapon of destruction in case of war,
was then offered to the British govern
ment in exchange for financial support
of the inventor.
A representative of the air ministry
went at once to report to the cabinet
concerning the success of the demon
stration. If the government does not
support Mathews, he will go into part
nership with a Frenchman at Lyons
and the invention will pass into con-
troll Of France.

SCISSORDILL BEATS

BUT HE GOES FREE

NEW YORK, June 3.-DIsrespect

day brought CARL S. chaee a black
eye, a bloody nose, a bruised jaw,
and a jail sentence. Disrespect for
the rights Of chace as an ordinary
human being brought Charles Waltz,
former marine, who administered
the beating, only an approving nod
from the court.
An American flag flying from one
OF the windows Of the Palmero
apartment house, which he owns,
didn't rouse Chace to the same pitch
Of patriotic fervor that thrilled thru
Waltz, who was acting as janitor in
the apartment house. Since Chace
is a member Of Boston family and
a wealthy real estate dealer, II was
hard for any one to believe that
the red, white and blue dollar pro-
tector didn't rouse his heartfelt ad-
miration. SO he told II to the ma
rlne, Waltz. Waltz took the mat
ter with proverblaI seriousness, and
beat chace up.
chace was found guilty in night
court and his fineer-prInts were
taken.

GOLDFISH SENATOR,

FOR RUM-RUNNING.
Aristocrat Struggles
Like Jack Hancock
Special to the Daily Worker.


WASHINGTON, d. c., June S.-The
government oil and booze muck has
begun to besmirch even Henry Cabot
Lodge, scion of the Mayhower aristoc-
racy in the senate. Evidence fur
nished by CASTOR B. Means, under
cross-examination by Attorney Paul
Rowland, indicates that Lodge was in
volved in the run running plots on
which the seizure of the British trawl-
er Comma, caught with whisky car
go off the Atlantic coast, is throwing
new light.
Testifying before the Brookhart
committee, Means said that Senator
Lodge had asked that permits for
whisky Withdrawals be given to one of
his constituents. This legitimate per
NIT was later used illegally, and
traced to this vessel.
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon is
the chief object of Means attack.
Mellon is to go on the witness stand
next week.
The bitterness which Means feels

any desire on Means part to witness
a general cleanup of the officials who
had hand in the mess, but to the
fact that Means holds Mellon, himself
notorious bootlegger, responsible
for his having to go to trial on a
charge of bootlegging and attempted
bribery, and for his dismissal from the
department Of justice, where he was
colleague of Daugherty.
Argue About Toothache.
Means toothaches are coming in for
lot of publicity in the senate. AS
sistant Attorney General Todd thinks
that a toothache wasn't enough to
keep Means away. from his trial at
the time he pleaded that he was too
sick to appear. Todd sees in this
deep-seated plot on the part of Means
to delay trial. He says that the pull
ing of one tooth is not serious oper-
alton. Senator Wheeler, more given
to fine distinctions, asserts that I'M
der certain conditions the pulling of
single tooth is a very serious matter.
Anyway, Wheeler says, Means had
three teeth pulled altogether Todd
doesn't think that that alters the
case.

Greek Workers Stay
By Organizer.

The Greek restaurant bosses who
got so scared of the Amalgamated
Food Workers Union that they Sc
cured injunction protection" for
40 places when a strike was hinted
have another ally in some of the
Greek Coffee House keepers, accord
ing to the experience of Athan Dan
isls, Greek organizer for the union.
Boss Fights Fer Boss.
Daniels went into the Greek coffee
house of Tom Sookas, 4551 Clinton
avenue, where the Greek restaurant
workers are accustomed to gather.
Sookas had previously sympathized
with the Greek workers because of
the long hours they were required to
work. Sookas solicited the trade Of
these Greek restaurant cooks and
walters.
When Daniels went in, Sookas re-
fused to serve him. Sookas began to
tell the other workers that Daniels
was no Greek. He said that the union
organizer was Bulgarian because he
had given the DAILY WORKER state
ments that were not credit to
Greek. Sookas tried to make the
workers believe that Daniels would
not be so "unpatriotic" against the
Greek bosses.
Workers Won't Patronlze.
The Greek food workers, most of
them members of the Amalgamated
Food Workers union, told the coffee
house boss to serve Daniels. Sookas
refused again and took Daniels by
the arm and showed him out of the
door. The rest Of the workers who
were giving their trade to Sookas, de-
parted at once, leaving his place
empty.
The Greek food workers Of the un-
ion selected Daniels for their organ
izer and the union approved. The
Greeks chose Daniels as a member
Of their own people and keen, de-
termined fighter in their behalf. The
Greek food workers know better than
to believe the stories told by coffee
house bosses like Sookas and will
soon show such men by staying away
from their places that such cheap,
false talk is not wanted.
The union will hold business meet
ing on Wednesday at which organizer
Charles H. Kellar will report on the
