At the New Dover Opera House

Today and Thursday-Harold Lloyd
in "Girl Shy"-Variety is the spice
of life, and it is also the secret of
success in making good motion pic
lures. Many stars fall into a rut be-
cause they insist upon making the
same line of pictures and using the
same kinds of Characterization. They
never change because they feel the
public is used to seeing them in a GER
tain type of picture. Such is not the
case, however, with Harold Lloyd,
whose latest feature Pathe-comedy,
Girl Shy" will be seen at the Dover
Opera House. Harold has fortunately
discovered that mixing them up a
bit is the secret of success.
Friday and Saturday-"The Enemy

NEW sTUDEBAKER MODEL
September Output, 5000 Cars; OctO-
Der to Be $4,000

Der to Be $4,000
w Harman Reynolds, local dealer,
at Townsend,is a busy man these days
demonstrating the new Studebaker
line of cars. Keep in touch with the
advertisements of Studebaker in an
other column. According to official
reports from South Bend the new
Studebaker models announced Sep
tember IA have made a decided popu-
lar hit, the sincerity of which is being
evidenced in a steady increase in or
ders. The new type car, called the
Duplex, which takes the place of the
customary open car, is proving es-
pecially popular everywhere.
The Duplex has an all-steel body,
which, by a very unusual roller side
inclosure, can be converted into an in
closed car in half a minute by draw
ing down the roller side Enclosures.
The steel upper structure of the body
is made strong enough to mount the
rugged steel rollers and room is pro-
vided to conceal them when they are
rolled up.
This new type car is as snug and
comfortable as any inGlosed car when
the Enclosures are rolled down and
fastened-and, of course, open-car
airiness and freedom are obtained
when the Enclosures are rolled into
the roof. At this season of the year
car which combines both open car
and closed car double service is es-
pecially popular
The price is no higher than that of
| the former open car.

 This organ is your liverl When working as Nature intended 1t purl- fies your blood, every drop of which filters through your liver every fifteen minutes.

By LovETT FoRT-wHITEMAN

The Negro was brought from
Africa into America, wholly because
Of the sore need of ready and cheap
supply of labor for the colonies.
The master-class in the colonies pre-
vious to the introduction Of the Afri-
can slave had depended on system
of indentured servitude, based on the
importation from the British Isles
of a very lowly element of whites.
This indentured class were principal
ly made up of persons who because
of some minor offense, had been con-
victed to prison, but had the choice
of coming into the American colonies
and settling; bankrupted persons,
who, in order to escape disgrace and
often Imprisonment, fled to the coll
onies; and many from the slums Of
the principle cities, London, Liver
pool, Edinburgh, Dublin and others,
who, as the result of sort of a
civic moral cleanup, from time to
time were carried into the colonies.
These persons placed themselves
or were placed, for a number of
years, in the service of members Of
the land-owning class in the colonies
but no one could be indentured for
life; and therein lay the weakness
of the system. At the end of the
period Of service, the indentured
servant could also become a land
owner, The African could be
bonded for life, and at the same
time was easily adapted to the rigors
of toll on the tobacco plantations.
For $50 years, African slavery was
maintained in America. The eman-
cipation of the Negro was a mere
transfer from chattel-slavery to
wage-slavery. 1t is traditional to re-

The Negro in the Industries

gard the Negro as best fitted for
heavy muscular labor, and effort is
employed to keep him out of those
departments of industry that require
skill and intelligence. The Negro
has been kept down as a ready
source of raw elemental labor.
1t was primarily the recent war
that brought the Negro into the big
basic industries of the North. Dur
ing the war, Negro labor demon
strated with more vivid reality its
essentialness to the capitalist system.
The great mass of Negro labor is I'M
organized and every mean is en-
ployed to keep it thus. The capital
ist class thru its press and other
agencies of public opinion succeeds
in keeping up a feeling of ennlity
between the black and white work
ers. The white worker excludes the
Negro from his unions; and in turn
the employers use the Negro to break
strikes when the white worker goes
out on strike.
The Urban League is a national
Negro organization supported by the
capitalists. 1t is a huge labor en-
ployment agency, supplying the
Northern industrial centers with
cheap unorganized Negro labor from
the southern states. This organiza-
ton does not encourage labor-union-
ism among Negroes; it dare not; and
probably no institution today in
American life is more enimical to
the development of a harmonious
understanding between the working
class of both races than this Urban
League.
The Negro worker, because he is
unorganized, works longer hours and
for less pay than the white worker.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-01-29

It is wholly to the advantage Of the
employing class that the Negro is
kept out of the unions. The Negro
as Race in America, as yet, is not
of great Importance, but as an in
dustrial class, one of the most i'm
portant in the world. And truly,
his peculiar position today in Ameri-
can life is such that he can be a
colossal hindrance to the success Of
any working-class movement having
a new society for its goal.
The Negro constitutes more than
one-third of the industrial strength
Of the South; more than one-seventh
of that of the entire nation. In the
South he is dominant in the cultiva-
ton of tobacco, cotton, rice, sugar
cane and in the production of mo-
lasses and sugar. His industrial inn
.portance is beyond his number when
compared with other races. The
social experience of the Negro in
America, eminently fits him for a
component and important part
in any working-class revolutionary
movement.
At present great masses : of
Negroes from the South are coming
North, finding employment in the
packing industries, mills, factories,
and on the railroads. They are be-
ing paid less than the whites, and
this arouses the animosity of the
latter, because it certainly tends to
reduce his standard Of living. And
race riots have sprung primarily out
of just such conditions But by now
experience should have taught us
that bloodshed is no solution for this
problem; only organization, wider or
ganization that shall include all
workers regardless of race or color.

Falls Mistake

eff you have tears, prepare to shed them
now" seems to be the motto of the witnesses
appearing before the Teapot Dome investiga-
ton committee.
E. L. Doheny, muti-millionaire oil operator,
told of how, moved to compassion by the mis-
fortunes of Senator Fall, he had loaned him
100000 without security. Mr.. Doheny wept,
SO overcome was he with heartbreaking
sorrow.
He expected to make $100,000,000 out of
the lease Senator Fall gave him, he testified,
so it would appear that in spite of his tears,
his sorrow was only on a one-tenth of one per
cent basis.
Senator Fall is also on the verge of tears,
according to Washington dispatches, and he,
at least, has reason for sorrow. Had he in
sisted on at least 10 per cent commission, he
probably could, at prevailing Washington
prices, have bought the entire investigating
committee.

81 heard speaker say the other
night" said Henry Dubb. chat the
capitalist press is the worst enemy
of the working class, that it poisons
the minds of the workers against
progress and teaches them to look
upon their capitalist exploiters as
their real friends, which the speaker
said they are not. What do you
know about that, isn't it the bunk %
eff l needed any more proof than

said the union man, otis right there
in your question. You are a full

son and all that, and yet you think

Where is your intelligence, my 100

telligence of the boss see percolat-

come about that you think the same
thoughts and boost for the same
ideas and the same candidates as does
your boss? You certainly didn't get
the dope direct from him. He wouldn't
speak to you if you met him on the
street, and you would be afraid to
address him, anyway. What right
has boob of a buck private to ac-
cost general of industry?
