I'll ASHINGTON, July 22.-Amer-
I"l leans are mulcted out of mil
w lions of dollars annually by
shrunken fruit and vegetable baskets
and hampers.
Just how much the amount totals
is not known, as even officials in
the agricultural department bureau
of economies were unwilling to make
a close estimate.
unfortunately you can't get
thieves to report their Hl-gotten
gains, so any estimate we would
make would not be accurate" H. w.
Sampson. chief of the division of
grades and standards stated today.
The gouging is accomplished by
Inscriptions merchants who sell
their products in baskets below
standard size, but so cleverly con-
structed that the purchaser is IN
able to detect the shortage by a
glance.
Some ideas of the extent of the
losses through short measure can be
gained by the fact that the agri-
cultural department states that 3d.
100000 hampers are manufactured
annually.
Sampson says that fully one-third
OF the so-caued half-bushel hampers
being manufactured are short meas
ure.
THE use of the fourteen-quart bas-
ket has become universal in certain
districts. where it has entirely sup
planted the half,bushel size, although
many purchasers believe that they
are getting half bushel OF produce
when they make their purchases. ="

Uniform Size

The bill which the Agricultural De-
partment has been endeavortng to
get through Congress since 1918 pro-
vides that baskets for fruit and vege-
tables can be manufactured only in
five sizes: Eight-quart, 16-quart.
24-Quart, 32quart and 48-quart.
At present these are at least sew
enty-five sizes of these baskets and
hampers in use in all sections Of the
country.
The Agricultural Department
hopes to get the bill limiting the bas-
kets and hampers to five sizes
through Congress at the December
session.
In the meantime Sampson advises
every housewife to either buy vege-
tables by weight or to get various
sized baskets. have them tested by
the local scaler of weights and meas
ures and then insist on getting them
filled on every purchase.

What is the origin of the word
"jazz?"
There are many stories; one of
the latest is that given by Vincent
Lopez, who believes that it origi-
mated in Vicksburg. Miss, where a
negro, Charles (Chaz) Washing
ton" was known for his syncopated
rhythm. 1t was the practice in his
band to repeat the chorus of a pop.
ular number and because of the
catchiness Of "Chaz. s" drumming,
the crowd would call for an encore.
The leader would say. Now Chaz.'
Thus the origin Of Jazz.
What is the present theory OF

Dreams are explained as the sym

Who Is Behind Officer 1881 !?

Police Officer 1881, wearing the
uniform of Mavor William f.
Dever's police forces, arrested
Sophie Altschuler, member of the
International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union who was doing
picket duty, took her into a hall
way and there severely beat her.
Officer 3181 made the arrest on the
orders of a clothing manufacturer.
While the brutal policeman was
beating her, Miss Altschuler
screamed for help. 81 don't want
you to live. l will kill you" was
the policeman's answer to her
screams.
Who is behind officer 1881?
On whose authority did officer
1881 arrest Sophie Alschuler and
brutally assault her? These are
important questions.
No doubt vicious attacks will be
made on police officer 31S1 by GER
tain labor leaders while those who
give orders to him are conveniently
ignored. Since this strike started,
the DAILY WORKER urged the
COMMITTEE of Fifteen" appointed
by the Chicago Federation of Labor
to take action; to do something that
would aid the striking dress
makers. But the committe has
done very little SO far. They seem
to be afraid to even open their
mouths for fear it might be il
legal.
interruptions Bosses.
The bosses are not troubled by
any scruples about illegality. Was
it legal for Officer 1881 to brutally
assault Sophie Altschuler? And
her case is only one of many.
The DAILY WORKER from the
first day of the strike until the
present laid the blame for the po-
lice brutalities squarely on the
shoulders of states attorney Robert
E. Grove and Mayor William E.
Dever. The police officers-officer
1881 included-are only the tools
Of the men higher up. Some of
them are more brutal than others.
But why blame the subordinate and
let the principal go off scot free?
The DAILY WORKER offered
suggestions to the Committee of
Fifteen which if followed would
have prevented the dastardly as
sault on Miss Sophie Altschuler.
We now charge the COMMITTEE of
Fifteen" with criminal negligence
and with indirect responsibility
for the sufferings of the striking
garment workers at the hands of
the tools of states attorney Grove
and Mayor Dever.
The COMMITTEE of Fifteen" may
feel that its hands are tied by the
injunctions. They may feel that
the suggestions made by Meyer
Perlstein who is in charge of the
strike are illegal and cannot be car
ried out. Of course, according to

Girl Striker Brutally Beaten

this morning to answer the charge of
disorderly conduct that was placed
against her or not. When she does
go to court to answer the charge she
will ask that a warrant be issued
against Officer No. 1881, charging
assault.
Saturday the union, thru its at
torney, Oscar Nelson, took steps to
bring Officer No. 1881 before the
trial board of the police department
and to institute the same proceedings
against the matron who refused to
call doctor to treat Sophie.
Nelson was also instructed to look
up the law to see if Sophie could
bring. civil suit against either the
officer or the city or both for dam
ages. III
The officer is said to have made the
defense that he was struck by Sophie.
That is obviously a lie. Even If it
were not, it would still not be justifi-
cation for his beating her the way he
did.

RUSS COMMUNIST
PARTY Gets new
100000 MEMBERS
Nation Winning Fight
on Illiteracy

MOSCOW, March 16.-The Com
munist Party is enrolling ten of
thousands of new members. 100000
new members-all of the workers
in the factories-is the goal set by
the party.
Twenty thousand, eight hundred
and forty-six applications for MEM
bership have reached the party up to
Feb. II, from factories in the govern
ment of Moscow.
Eighteen thousand applications
were counted in Leningrad.
Pravda says that 57,7561 workers
in provincial cities have applied for
the membership in the party.
The 100000 mark set by the party
is almost reached but still application
are pouring in.
Liquidation of nliteracy.
An all Ukrainian Congress for
liquidation of illiteracy held on Feb.
II, in Ckarkov, has mapped out plans
for ihstructing 100000 illiterates
during the coming three years.
Seven hundred thousand will receive
instructions until May 1, 1924. It
IS being reported from Odessa that
of the 1,11S2 schools scheduled to be
opened in 1924 in the village for the
liquidation of illiteracy and of the
3S4 intended for the city, 1870 are
already operating in the villages, POI
in the city with a total of 42,6O0
pupils.
In Kiev, a large net Of schools for
the same purpose is being established.
Wheat Acreage at Normal.
The sown acreage of winter wheat
has reached the figure of 1916 in the
Ukraine. Crop prospects are favor
able.
Wages in some industries of Odessa
have reached the pre-war level. The
leather workers pre-war wa S
equalled 48 rubles (monthly), the
present wage-60 rubles. Metal
workers pre-war wages rubles, at
present-36 rubles.
The average wage in Odessa gov
eminent equals So per cent of the
pre-war average.

the terms Of the injunction it is IL
legal to speak, whisper or bid the
time Of the day to striking dress
maker. But even Samuel Gompers
would defy an injunction from the
seclusion Of hotel suite Surely
the leaders Of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor long heralded thru
out the United States as progress
sive" are at least as courageous as
the toothless Gompers.
Police Brutality.
This strike would have been won
in the first week but for the brutal
ity Of the officers of Groves and
Dever's offices. Dever is respons-
IDLE for the conduct of both. But
the COMMITTEE of Fifteen" after
listening to John Fitzpatrick read
a letter charging Grove with abuse
of office and getting its picture
taken, appointed a subcommittee
to see the Mayor and the matter
ended there. The understanding
was according to John English, a
member of the committee, that in
the event of further police brutal
tiles, the committee would hold an
other general, meeting. Does the
committee require couple Of muir
ders before it takes action?
The DAILY WORKER again
urges the COMMITTEE of Fifteen"
to get busy, call q mass meeting,
organize the trade unions of this
city behind the strike, issue pub
licity concerning the strike, dx,nand
that the Mayor appoint trade
unionists to preserve order in the
strike zone, raise a strike fund and
call for volunteers from the trade
unions to protect the girls who are
picketing the scab shops.
The workers of Chicago have
watched this inactive committee
long enough. They are suspicious
that partisan or fractional capitalist
politics is the cause of its inactivi-
ty. If the committee does not in
tend to do anything it should
promptly quit and leave the way
open for a committee that will act.
The fortunes Of the slaves in the
factories, the safety of the girls
on the picket lines are more inn
portant to the yank and file than
the continuance of any friendly re-
lations that may exist between
labor politicians and certain Off
Gals of Cook county.
Dever and Grove Real Culprits.
The DAILY WORKER claims
chat officer 3181 is not the real Gull
prit. The men who should be held
responsible for his acts are the Of
fetal heads of Cook county, Mayor
William Z. Dever and states at
torney Robert E. Grove. They are
the men who should be brought be-
fore the bar of organized labor.
Again we ask the "Committee of
Fifteen" to act in behalf Of the
thousands of striking dressmakers.

William E. Dever, the know moth
Observation-Disclosures of Chi
cago is now touted by Democratic
boss George E. Brennan of Illinois as
a dark horse presidential candidate
for the presidential nomination on
he Democratic ticket.
This announcement was made by
George E. Brennan, member of the
Murphy, Taggart, Brennan machine
in the Democratic party. Mayor De-
yer will be boosted as ''man of the
people," No doubt Brennan did not
make the announcement until he came
to the conclusion that there was no oil
in Dever's system.
If Dever happens to get elected,
and in view of the lack of honest
candidates in the Democratic ranks
the idea is not to be sneezed at, the
striking garment workers are of the
opinion that if Mr.. Dever shows as
little interest in what is transpirlng
in Washington as he has in Chicago
events, he might wake up some day
in the White House and find every
thing stolen, not even excepting the
bedclothes.
Mayor Dever viii run on his rec
ord as a warrior against violators of
the prohibition laws. That he did
this while openly sympathising with
the -Volsteadians is proof that he
is a man who never lets his personal
inclinations Interfere with his duty.
So say his friends.
With know-nothing Mayor De-
yer running on the Democratic ticket
and Silent Know-nothing Calvin
Coolidge on the Republican ticket
there would be a real opportunity for
a Farmer-Labor candidate to make

jolted again by st. Louis jury,

deliberated five hours and a half.
Houston repudiated so-called

he signed after police torture. He
said the police knocked him down

confession to escape further tor
ment. Without the confession, the
states case was decidedly weak, de-

Houston "looks like" the robber.
