badly beaten up as they walked the
picket line in front Of the lnterna-
tionaI Tailoring company at 847 w.
Jackson boulevard, have visited Mayor
DeVer and Chief of Police Collins and
demanded that police brutality against
the strikers cease. The strikers, act
ing as a committee appointed by the
AmaIuamated Union, first visited Chief
Police Collins.
Collins was told how officer number
4O11, and other officers, acted as slug
gers for the International bosses,
beating the strikers with the butts
Of their revolvers. They demanded
that action be taken against the per-
petrators of these murderous assaults.
Beat Girl Picket.
Collins promised that two of the
officers would be removed, but police
violence continues, and more drastic
action against the police sluggers may
have to be taken.
The two pickets told how Frances
De Spena was beaten so badly by the
police that she required medical at
tention. Then they went to Mayor
Devers' Office, but were given scant
attention by the mayor.

More Lies of Bosses Exposed.
The strikers were paying no at
tention to the bogus news" story
pasted on the window of the Inter-
national building on Peoria street.
This story was a clipping from the
Daily News Record, which contained
a pack of lies written by the garment
bosses.
The paper is owned by the clothing
manufacturers, and prints nothing
but ISLANDERS and lies directed against
the workers. The paper is copyrighted
by the Fairchild News Service, a cor
poration closely linked up with the
garment bosses associations.

Mike De Novi, business agent of the
union, told the DAILY WORKER of
his arrest at the hands of the police
! sluggers, who handled him roughly.
81 have been in America eighteen
years." said De Novi, "and | came
here thinking I would find liberty.
Instead | find that strikers are beaten
when they demand decent working
conditions"

THE private loans of the United
4 States to foreigners now comprise
the enormous sum of S9,500,00O,OOO
Over half a billion dollars in Amer
lean capital went out of the country
during the first half of the current
year. Britain used to be the leader ir
exporting capital but that position
is no longer hers. She has passed up
the sceptre to Wall Street. Is it any
wonder that our rulers should cry

THE president is ready to halt the
miners strike, it is reported. He
will not have much trouble in hand
ling the situation as long as the
miners leave John l.. Lewis in charge
of the union. Lewis declared once be-
fore that he could not fight the gov
ernment He still thinks that is the
best thing he ever said. Gompers did
not think so when Lewis ran against
him for president at the Denver con-
vention. But Gompers was only pos
ing, as usual. He wanted to put Lewis
in a bad light as a man who feared to
go to jail Coolidge will not be forced
to duplicate the action he took during
the 1919 police strike in Boston.

TNHE British miners nave given or
L ders that all members of the feder-
alton shall bring their tools out of the
mines on August 31st.l There is a
possibility that the coal miners of
France, Belgium and Germany may
strike simultaneously with their Bri-
tish fellow workers. The Belgian and
French operators have taken advant-
age of the Dawes plan to beat down
the wages flof their slaves. If the
Dawes planets good for the bosses, it
certainly is not good for the workers.
Yet the social democrats in Europe

THE American Association for the
i recognition of the Irish Republic
has protested to the pope against the
cruel and inhuman treatment meted
out to Irish republicans, in Ireland by
the bishops and other clergy who are
supporting the Free State. Why did
not the association ask Mussolini for
protection? Irish republican repres-
entatives in Italy have been singing
the praises of Mussolini, Poincare in
France and Hindenburge in Germany,
while ignoring the revolutionary work
ing class movement all over the
world; the only movement that will
free Ireland, China, Egypt, India and
all countries including the Philippines
from the yoke of foreign Imperialism,
The pope will do nothing to help Ire
land secure a republic. His relations
with England are too close and too
lucrative.

The elimination of the dangerous railroad crossings at East and Allen streets was suggested at the meeting of the traffic bureau Of the chamber of commerce held this noon at the Burritt hotel, and the highways committee. of which A. r. Marsh is chairman, was instructed to take the matter into consideration. Members of the bureau reported that at pres ent bell system was used at these crossings and suggested the substi. tution of light, which could be cas- fly seen, whereas the bell cannot al. ways be heard. MT. Marsh then suggested that the double crossing might be done away with and single safer one substituted, placed somewhere between the present ones and with proper safeguards, The Idea met with instant favor and Walter l.. Bell moved that 1t be re- ferred to the highways committee. Joseph Leitch, freight agent of the New Haven road, stated that he approved of the plan and would fur ther it.
 Ralph L. Gould, secretary of the chamber, was instructed to write to the New Haven road and inquire If New Britain could not have more Pullman reservations. The bureau went on record as opposed to the Hoch-smith bill, now a law, by which the interstate commerce com

YOUTH AND PARENTS
 UNDER COhEN'S LASH

200 years old he couldn't teach any thing to a freshman In college.
 Following this seilshness and lack of respect for parents comes disrespect for the law. It doesn't make any difference what the law Is, If 1t Is on the books it ought to be enforced. But if dad can ylo- late the law. the boy thinks he can also. How can the youth have re- spect for laws when dad has not? I never took drink before prohibl- ton and I haven't taken any since, but l would enforce the prohibition laws the same as I would stealing from the mails. stealing automobiles or violating the Mann act.
 They Think It's Smart
 "The fact that they think 1t is smart to do things Is what is running our boys and girls today. Dad says, I'm going to step on 1t and fool this traffic cop That's n fine example for. son who Is sitting in the car" Concluding Mr. Cohen said. "The parents are not paying any attention to their children. They arc the ones that are responsible. If we don't keep our eyes on these all wise children we are going to have a much greater crime wave than ever before.
 "The situation is due also to a large extent to lack of religion. l don't care what 1t is, the children should be taught some religion"
 The score between the Giants and Yankees In the attendance contest was tied with 19 each.

MEN ARE TAKING
 PLACES OF WOMEN
Verify, Times Are Changing,
 Says Mrs. 'Rorer

Chicago, April 21.--A new man has arisen as well as new woman, Mrs. Sarah Tyson Rorer of Cole brook, Pa. said today at the Wom- ems World Fair. The silver haired authority on cooking said her fifty years of teaching women about their kitchens had resulted In taking women out of the kitchen.
 That is just what we pioneers wanted" said Mrs. Roper. "Women are better companions to their hus- bands now because they are less tired and have more varied inter- ests. Women are welcomed in pro- fessions where the were hooted down when I was a girl. All this never could have been accomplish ed without the new man. He has taken the -drudgery on his own shoulders.
 "No one ever heard of man canner when I was a girl, My mother did all her own canning. My mother made her own soap and cured hams, as well. She sent for women tailors, who came into the home (they went around the neigh borhood for work,) and made the clothes of the men in the family. Those days are gone forever.
 To-day men make the soap; men examine the milk. A woman buys skirt in the store but wants II lengthened: a man steps forth with tape and measure and chalk to do the iob. We have men dressmakers and men milliners, and they make more money at 1t than the women ever made. I heard of one who earn cd $17,O00 a year. We have linole- i'm floors, steel walls in our kitchens which require only to be washed down; we have eliminated scrubbing brushes, brooms and largely coal stoves. We have electric and mechanical apparatus for Tightening the burdens of housework, thanks to the ingenuity of the new man who manufacturers them.
 Mrs. Anna Howard Shaw, calling my attention to a poster of laun- drymens convention, remarked with a smile that VIC never heard of a washerwoman's convention. But the new man takes pride In his crafts
 "But we pioneers played our part in bringing about the change, too' We correlated chemistry and other sciences to cookery q myself had prepared to be a chemist and phar- macist, and knew nothing about cooking until 1S76.) Our purpose was to educate the housewife and the public to food values and body build ing. As a result cookery is now a science and the dirty kitchen has been replaced by the new kitchen a home laboratory"
