Greek Cabinet Quits;
r. gent Offers job
To Republican Leader

ATHENS, March 1O.-Greece is
looking for a cabinet but it is not
easy to find man willing to take the
job. Tho several statesmen have been
out of work for some time, applica-
lions for the position of premier are
conspicuous by their absence They
have habit here in Greece to bring
out their shooting irons on the slight
est provocation and once statesmen
is indicted, he stands as much show
of an acquittal as an American COM
munist before 100 per cent Amcri-
can jury.
"Shoot them first; try them after
wards" is the popular way of hand
ling out justice to unpopular Greek
cabinets. The Greek cabinets are
growing more responsive to pressure
than they used to. The last one quit
when an army corps appeared and
offered it an ultimatum to resign or
fight. The cabinet jumped out the
windows.
The army is sick of the king and
wants republic. Venizelos is going
to leave the country.

CAT-O-NINE-TAILS
USED ON CHAIN
GANGS IN SOUTH
SO Strokes from Salt
Creased Lashes
By JACK METTE

(Stan Correspondent Of The Federated Press)
CHARLESTON, S. c., March TO-
In the good old south we send our
prisoners, especially those who have
family and cannot pay the usual
$50 fine, to the chain gang to build
roads.
The judge smiles when he sentences
you to the gang and says he hopes
it will make a better man of you.
When the police catch hobo down
here, if they cannot find something
serious to charge him with, they
send him to the gang for 80 days for
luck.
Build Road With Blood.
1t has not been so many months
ago that the country was stirred
up over the cruel death of Martin
Tabert at the hands of a Florida
chain gang whipping boss. Did that
stop the whippings? 1t did not. In
North Carolina and Alabama condi-
tions are worse than in the old salt
mines of Siberia. North Carolina has
good roads but it took the blood and
strength of her prisoners to do it.
If prisoner is sick and unable to
work the boss has a good cure. The
lash soaked in salt grease to the
tune of so strokes is the usual dose
for all sickness.
One of the North Carolina camps
is at Fayetteville. The six-foot ig-
norant chain gang boss is allowed
to knock young boys (some of them
under 16 years of age) over the head
with pick handles and to whip them
with cat-o-nine-tails until they can
not stand on their feet. The same
food is provided day in and day
out. Syrup and corn bread for break
fast. Peas and corn bread for din
ner. Syrup and corn bread again for
supper.
Saw Beating.
Last summer talked with many Of
the prisoners. / checked up on their
stories and found them to be true.
Young men whose only offense is
riding a freight train are thrown
into these filthy holes with men sui.
fering from terrible diseases and are
forced to battle in the same water.
Ten men, four colored, were forced
to battle in a small tub Of water with
out changing the water. / saw a
young Jewish boy hit over the head
and back with a pick handle.
Alabama has the same rotten sys-
tenn. They hire the convlcts out by
the day to the coal trust to dig coal
for the company for few cents a
day. Conditions are as bad if not
worse than those existing in North
Carolina.

NEWARK YIELDS
FREE SPEECH TO
WORKERS PARTY
Foster to Speak Was
Arrested Before


NEWARK, N. J., March 10.-The
police of Newark will not interfere,
"by threats or otherwise. with meet
ings held in Newark halls "for law
full discussions" according to a let
ter from Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Joseph G. Wolber received re-
Gently by John Larkin Hughes, New
ark attorney for the Civil Liberties
Union. The letter was sent follow
ing a conference Of the Newark Law
department with Director of Safety
Brennan.
"You can rest assured that the
constitutional and legal rights Of
citizens to assemble and freely speak,
as defined by the New Jersey courts,
will not be disregarded," the letter
declares.
Foster VIII Speak.
AS a result of this promise, vii.
liam 2. Foster, who was arrested to-
gether with Bishop Paul Jones while
speaking at a meeting in Newark on
Jan. IL, and was later denied per-
mission to speak at any time, will
speak in that city within three weeks,
it was announced today by the Civil
Liberties Union. The Foster meet
ing will be held under the auspices
Of the Labor Defense Council.
The free speech conference of the
Newark officials was an outcome of
the recent trial of four members of
the Workers Party who were arrest
ed following the breaking up by The
police of a Lenin memorial meeting
on Feb. 1, and Of the arrest of Fos-
ter and Bishop Paul Jones following
the breaking up of Labor Defense
Council meeting on Jan. IL.
Suits for False Arrest.
Suits for false arrest were filed
against Newark police officials by
the Civil Liberties Union on behalf
Of Foster and Bishop Jones. The
four Workers Party members arrest
ed at the Lenin memorial meeting
on Feb. l were fined $50 each. They
we're DR.. Alexander Trachtenberg,
former instructor of economics at
Yale; Ludwig Lore, editor of the
Volkszeitung; Constant Chriss and
David Kaplan of Newark.
During the trial of the four men
on Feb. IA, Police Judge Horace
Grice said he was "glad this case
has come up, for we don't know
where we stand on free speech in
Newark" He suggested a confer
ence among Newark officials and the
Civil Liberties Union attorney to
arrange for an amicable settlement
whereby meetings similar to those
halted by the police might be held
in public halls without official dis
turbance. Conferences were held and
Corporation Counsel Wolber's letter
to Attorney Hughes was the result.

Germany is Willing
To Enter League
With Soviet Russia

BERLIN, Germany, March TO-
Germany is willing to enter the
League Of Nations provided there are
no specific conditions for ADMISSION,
according to a speech delivered in
the Reichstag by Gustav Stresseman
foreign minister.
Stresseman does not want to sub
NIT Germany to any further appear
ance before a tribunal composed of
allied nations and do penance for the
crime Of having started the world
war. He will insist that Russia be
asked to join at once.
It is stated that Germany is tied
to Russia by links forged at the &C.
neva conference when the two out.
lawed nations patched up q treaty
which left the allies sucking their
thumbs in dismay.
Britain displays considerable ncr.
vousness over the thought Of a res.
toration Of German productivity or
the basis Of Franco-German or Ger
man-American cooperation.
The militarist spirit is g1bwinf
rapidly in Germany and this can be
noted in the increasing militancy OF
the speeches made by the Berlin gov.
eminent officials.

Mormon Scion Fears
House Tax Bill viii
Not Meet u. S. Needs

WASHINGTON, March 10-As the
Senate Finance Committee recently
sought sources of $100,000,0OO more
revenue in the new tax bill, the
House Ways and Means Committee
prepared to report soldier bonus
bill.
Chairman Smoot of the Finance
Committee believes the tax bill a.
passed by the. House will fall $780,
100000 short of meeting government
expenses next year, even if bonus
bill does not become law. What
sources of revenue will be tapped are
yet undecided, he said.
Four Plans Up.
Winding up its hearing on the
bonus bill, the House Ways and
Means Committee, plunged into con-
sideration of four plans, as follows;
IA straight cash bonus.
"A straight paid up insurance
bonus.
"a cash bonus with paid up in
surance option.
A four fold plan with option of
$50 cash, deferred payment certif
Gates, vocational training and home
and farm aid.
Senators Watson, Indiana, and
Moses, New Hampshire, today began
a poll of the Senate to determine SEN
timent on the tax bill. A "horse
back" survey by leaders indicates the
Democrats and Progressives may join
to restore the Garner plan with
maximum surtax Of Al per cent on
$92, 900.

Clothing Workers
GiUe Last Concert
of Winter Season
By ALFRED V. FRANKENSTEIN,

by ALFRED V. FRANKENSTEIN.
Concerts given by the Amalgam-
ated Clothing Workers came to a
close with a packed hall at the
Garments Auditorium. Alexander
Zukovsky, violinist of the Chi
cago Symphony Orchestra, directed
a small ensemble of some sixteen
Symphony men, and there were four
soloists, Jacques Gordon, violinist;
Joseph Brinkman, pianist; Ivan Dne-
prof, tenor of the Russian Opera
Company, and Herman Eek, fiutist.
The orchestral part of the pro-
gram brought to performance two
important works that have not been
heard on the regular Symphony bill
for some time. The first was the
Mendellssohn overture, 'tFingals
Cave" The other was the move
ment called "InI the Village" from a
suite of Caucasian sketches by IL.
politoff -Ivanoff, the Bolshevik direc-
tor of the Moscow Conservatory Of
Music.
Celia Goldman, a Juvenile CLASH
cal and athletic dancer,' as the pro-
gram described her, won consider
able applause with her jumps and
leaps and steps.
Mr.. Dneproff has a magnificent
voice, and the songs he sang, some
operate arias in Italian and Rus
sian, made his audience 60 wild with
approval. 1t was most interesting
to hear how this big voice of beau
tiful quality overcame the tricky
and ungrateful acoustics of the Ash
land Auditorium and filled the hall.
A critic of one of the larte dailies
recently said, with perfect truth,
that there are no more bad pianists
or violinists. So to say that Mr..
Brinknan and Mr.. Gordon are fine
musicians is bromide. Both played
some of their own work, Mr.. Brink
man some Of his compositions, Cor.
don some of his arrangements. And
when pianists and violinists are ca
pable of writing as we'll as perform
ing as Gordon and Brinlxman do,
they are deserving Of all the approx
ing adjectives in the critics yocabu-
larry, be they ever so bromide.
Thus closed the fifth season of
concerts given by the union. And
concerts are only a part of the gen.
eral scheme Of workers education
carried on by the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers.
