TALKS ON REAL ESTATE AND
 BUILDING
By HAL SPEED

FIN building a house to sell, let
 the builder have no illusions.
 His house is going to be bought on the woman's judgment, not her husbands, which, of course, is proper, since the wife and not the man has the care of the place.
 Green agents are deceived in this respect. Showing a house to the man, if it is well built, they think they have sale, for the man is apt to be pleased.
 He inspects the. basement and the furnace at once, for these will be under his management. If these are all right he is pleased. He then inspects the framing. If that is of long-leaf pine, he is further pleased. If there is a roomy veranda or other masculine loafing place, he will be sold.
 r "You've sold a house." he will often tell the agent. "Of course want the missus to see it before we close up."
 The agent is all keyed up, if he is not veteran, and he is on hand promptly at the time set for show ing the house to the wife.
 She looks at the interior, into all the corners, at the fixtures, in the closets; everybody knows how critical a woman is. of the interior of the house. It may be that the color effect is ,bad-not many builders understand attractive dec oration and painting and she frowns.
 She may not like the way the doors open, or the arrangement of the kitchen and the pantry, or the way the bath tub is set.
 The average house buyer, man or woman, wants to see a finished product. They are amateurs and unlike the professionals can't see the possibilities of a place in the rough.
 So on leaving this house, if the woman looks back and sees build ing debris in the yard, no grass, the walks not finished, she tells the agent that she'll 'let him know later"

OLD DAUGHERTY
INJUNCTION USED
AGAINST RAILMAN
Seize Machinist Under
1922 Federal Writ
BY MAUD MecREERY.
derated Press staff Correspondent.

Federated PreSS Stan correspondent.
LOS ANGELES, Cal, April 28-
Charles Murphy, member of the Ma
chinists' Union No. IL here, is learn
ing that it is harder to sidetrack an
idea than the individual responsible
for it. Murphy has been arrested and
is facing trial for an alleged violation
of ex-Attorney General Daugherty's
federal injunction against the striking
railroad shopmen almost two years
ago.
Murphy came out on strike with his
in the Union Pacific
shops in Las Vegas July 1, 1922. and
shortly after came to Los Angeles.
where he has been working at his
trade ever since. On March Is he was
arrested by federal authorities and
thrown into Jail, charged with viola
ton of the Daugherty injunction. The
violation. it is alleged, took place near
ly two years ago. The local machin-
lists union furnished the $4,000 bail
required and Murphy was released.
Murphy, who was married after he
came to Los Angeles. has voluntarily
left his bride and home to return to
Las Vegas to surrender himself for
trial.
The injunction which Murphy is al
legged to have violated was issued dur
ing the railroad shopmen's strike by a
federal court in Chicago on the petit
ton of the then Attorney General
Daugherty, who was recently dis
missed by President Coolidge after a
mass of sensational evidence of cor
ruption had been presented to the
congressional committee investigating
Daugherty's administration of the De
partment of Justice.

Injunction Judge
Does His Stuff AS
Republicans Talk

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 2S.-Not
even "a hours after the Illinois con-
vention of the Republican party had
condemned the use of injunctions in
labor disputes, Circuit Judge E. s.
Smith enjoined union men from pick
citing nonunion picture shows in
Springfield, the convention city.
w. w. Watts and Harry It. Lopez,
owners of a string of movie shows,
applied for the Injunction. They
shrewdly picked time when the
court had adjourned. Judge Smith,
known for his hostility toward labor,
was called back to issue the restrain
ing order. He set the date for a hear
ing two weeks later. Meanwhile pick
cts are ordered withdrawn. The in
junction is a banket order covering
not only the Motion Picture Opera
tors union, who are on strike, but the
entire membership of the Springfield
Federation of Labor. The order pre-
vents anything whatsoever from be-
ing done to notify the public that the
picture houses are being run with
strike-breakers.

May First Is Gay
Holiday for All
Phila. Workers

PHILADELPHIA, April 28.-The
workers of Philadelphia, at the United
Front May Day Conference, have de-
cided to demonstrate their solidarity
by huge May Day celebration on
Thursday, May 1.
The delegates from the labor unions,
fraternal and political organizations
assured the conference that their
membership recognizes May / as an
international labor holiday and will
lay down their tools on that day to
celebrate the victories and achieve
ments of labor and raise the issue
now confronting the workers Of this
and other countries.
A true spirit of solidarity was
shown by the conference when a unan-
imous decision was made to celebrate
the afternoon of May 1 at the Interna-
tional Workers Aid bazaar, held for
the benefit of the starving workers of
Germany, that will be held on that day
in the Kensington Labor Lyceum, at
Second and Cambria streets.
The outstanding phase of the May
Day celebration, however, will be a
huge mass meeting and concert at
Lulu Temple, Broad and Spring
Spring Garden streets, on the evening
of May 1, at p. m.
H. M. Wicks of the Typographical
Union of New York will be the main
speaker in English. Prominent speak
ers in other languages will speak be-
tween the numbers of the splendid
musical program to be given by the

tional Orchestra and the Lithuanian
Chorus. M. l.. Olkin of Philadelphia
will be the chairman of the meeting.
The vigorous support given to this
celebration by the labor unions, the
Workers Party, the Y. w. L. and
Workmen Circles assures it to be the
greatest success in the history of the
Philadelphia labor movement.

Expelled From
School For Anti
Military Action

DOWELL, ILL.,, April 2S.-Germinal
Allard, one Of the most active mem
bers Of the Young Workers League
here, was expelled from school on ac-
count of passing out the anti-military
leaflets issued by the National Office
of the Y. W. L. This was made the
issue, but the moron who is principal
of the school, had determined previ-
ously to take drastic action with any
student unidentified with this Young
Communist Movement.
The members of the local branch,
are splendidly supporting the position
of Comrade Allard, and fight is go
ing to be initiated to oppose the high
handed tactics of this zealot principal.
The miners of Dowell are going to
hear Of this. A monster mass meet
ing will be arranged with Comrade
Mass, district organizer for the Y. w.
L. in this section, as the speaker.
ne ulSITlCI organizer 10 uSlSIun1u-
ed to throw the whole strength Of the
district organization behind Comrade
Allard, and also enlist the aid Of the
Workers Party, in preventing this
lackey of the mine-owners from set
ting the precedent that a student is
liable to expulsion for membership in
the Y. w. l..
Pete Allard, secretary of the branch
and brother of Germinal, said, "We
are going to fight them to the limit
and if they think that they can get
by with such stuff, they are badly
mistaken. The fight is on, the Y. w.
l.. of this district has been challeng-
ed, so watch us!"
Germinal Anard was asked to sign
papers pledging allegiance to the gcv-
eminent, but he refus I'd to do so. He
was also promised immunity if he
would quit tho Y. W. L. This was
met with emphatic NO.
