Communist Gives His
Views on Housing

The Workers (Communist) Party
demanded the enforcement of ordin
ances, long violated, for the protection
Of the workers Of Chicago and provis
ion of decent housing facilities for all
workers, in a reply to a letter from
the Women's City Club of Chicago, to
Communist candidates for alderman
asking that no signs be put up along
the city streets. The statement was
signed by Nicholas Dozenberg, Com
munist candidate. ,ss,s.
1--WE notice your advocacy of the
city beautiful said the reply to the
women..s club. I'VE, call your atten-
ton to the deplorable condition of the
stock yards workers, the Negro work
ers of the south side, and the homes
of Chicago workers in general.
Cur aldermanic platform demands
drastic reduction of rents, and de.
mands that the city construct modern
apartments for the workers to be
rented and run at cost of operation.
the construction to serve to provide
employment for workers now unem.
ployed.
I'VE demand that discrimination
against Negroes in matters Of hous-
ing cease. We demand the workers
of Chicago be given a living wage,
the abolition of child labor, that all
children of workers attending school
be maintained by the city.
when the workers take control of
the government and the industries,
then there will be a city beautiful
for the great mass of the workers of
Chicago-and not until then.
"We further point out the violation
of factory inspection ordinances, or
dinances providing for elevation of
tracks at grade crossings, and ordin-
ances pertaining to sanitary working
conditions for workers, and demand
that these violations cease. We de-
mand that exploitation of women, who
do not have even the eight hour day
in Illinois, cease, and that the homes
of the wealthy be requisitioned to
house the unemployed. These are a
few of the ways to secure a city beau
tifup for the exploited workers of
Chicago" 2a raaia

March Tickets Out,
Have You Got Yours ?

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Subscription
tickets for the Press Pageant at Mad
ison Square Garden on March Is,
have now been sent to all branches
of the Workers Party and the Young
Workers League. If any branch has
not received them the responsible
comrades should call Immediately at
the district Office, 1OS East 14tn St.,
and get their supply. Members who
found it impossible to attend their
branch meetings should also call to
get theirs.
The subscription tickets for this af-
fair are printed in neat folders con-
tanning five each. They consist of a
one months 75c subscription to the
DAILY WORKER combined with the
Madison Square Garden ticket as d
premium. Every member is expected
to sell at least five of these combin-
atoms. Each one that sells 1ive has
free ticket for himself. s6
The folder also carries the an
nouncement of prizes to those that
sell the most subscription tickets.
First, trip to the next Workers
Party convention with all expenses
paid; second, a libarary of books
third and fourth, Lenin watcn charms
with suitable inscriptions. The
branch that sells the most will re-
ceive a radio outfit for its neadquar-
ters, and a similar outfit, worth 500
will go to the branch that sells the
most in proportion to membership so
that both large and small branches
have an equal opportunity to win.
Quite a number of branches and in
dividuals have already announced
their determination to come OUT first,
and are now hard at work. Every
member must see to it that not only
himself. but the entire branch be-
gin now, so as to have an even chance
with the others.
Success for this affair means $4,000
readers for the DAILY WORKER in
New York. The prizes are merely in
cidental. The grand prize" is really
the benefit to the Communist press.

they can afford to use as an argu-
ment against the child labor amend
ment referendum which is on the
face of it a joke.
The arguments were prepared by
two members on each side, all mem
bers Of the chamber Of commerce,
and appointed by the president. One
in favor, E. A. Richards, of the H. H..
Richards Lumber company Of West
Haven, when asked to speak in favor
of the amendment at a meeting, con-
fessed his ignorance Of the subject
and asked that he be supplied with
material.
Yet he was one Of the two who
presented the arguments for ratifica-
ton! The newspapers did not carry
news Of the arguments or the nature
of the referendum.
The arguments were endorsed by
the board of directors of the state
chamber of commerce, before being
sent out. The arguments for ratifica-
ton take up a little less than one
fourth of the width of the page; and
lines are far apart. The rest of the
page is used for arguments opposed,
and are close spaced. Four arguments
in favor; eleven against. 227 words
used in favor, 1864 against. Capital
list fairness! The arguments in favor
are simple assertions, no proof.
Detailed statistics are presented in
opposition. Gems of the opposition
are: 1.-THE amendment is socialistic";
Legislation would be enacted that
would in practical effect 'nationalize'
children and in the words Of promin-
ent socialists, Communists-'remove
them from the pernicious influence
of the family"
Argument 8: Furthermore we be-
lieve that the amendment and the
powers sought by it implies at least
that the government care and super
vision of the children is more desir-
able than practical care and super
vision"

Claim Japan Is
Anxious to Accept
the $50 Ratio

TOKYO, Feb. 49, willingness of
Japan to accept the famous 5-5-S ratio
for war aircraft was expressed here
today by Captain Hisao Hozozi of the
imperial general staff.
Japan is willing that construction
Of war aircraft be limited by the same
ratio that has applied to naval build
ing, Captain Hozozi declared.
"In fact such a limitation would
be most favorable to japan. Japan
has only 500 effective airships against
1000 for the United States and twice
that number for France.
at takes no second thought to see
that Japan would gain materially by
the adoption Of such ratio"

COMMUNISTS USE
RED THEATER TO
ROUSE WORKERS

BERLIN, Feb. 23.-one Of the most
effective instruments of propaganda
yet devised by the Communists is the
proletarian wandering theater which
was first put to use during the recent
campaign. 1t is popular in the real
sense of the word, rejecting the
wishes, the hopes and the class hat
red of the broad masses.
Wherever in the workingmens
quarters there is a beerhall or other
large room with a stage available, the
Communists rent it on some convent
ent evening and offer their Review
in Fourteen Scenes" AS the scenes
unfold before the eyes of the workers,
two men, one representing the class
struggle, the other the bourgeois, fur
nish the proper comment. They thus
take the place of the chorus in the
ancient Greek tragedy or of the inter
locutor in the American minstrel
show.
Plea to the Jury.
One scene depicts Communist as
he is about to be sentenced to long
imprisonment for thinking differently
from the accepted standards. He makes
a last impassioned plea to the jury,
which is nothing but a speech, but
which the listeners swallow whole be-
cause it is fed to them in the form of
drama.
Another scene depicts visitor from
Mars coming to the earth and finding
to his surprise that there are people
who actually slave and starve so that
someone else may wallow in wealth
He can only explain this situation by
remembering that the earth is in part
peopled by race of crazy men called
proletarians.
The familiar figures of German. poll
tical life, such as General Ludendorff,
President Ebert, General Won Seeckt,
Chief of Police Richter, Prussian Min
lister of the Interior Severing, and
other enemies of the working class
are initiated on the stage and their
statements parodied.

NEW YORK, Feb 23.-The working
class women of Harlem have done
splendid work for the Labor Defense
Bazaar. With booth all their own,
they worked like beavers and disposed
of most of their wares. Carrying
their banners, they participated in
the bazaar parade, their faces beam
ing with enthusiasm. Because they
realizedsthat they were no longer just
women in the kitchen but part of the
big movement that will eventually
free all working class men and wo-
mon.
The women Of the Bronx also did
their bit. They held an open meet
ing before the bazaar at which Com
rade Amter talked on Krupskaya and
the working women in the class strug-
gle. Over hundred workers were
present. A collection was taken for
the Labor Defense Council. The wo-
men distributed the leaflets announc-
ing the meeting to other women in
the neighborhood. One member of
the council donated samovar which
brought thirty-three dollars at the ba-
zaar, while many bazaar tickets were
sold. The Hungarian women Of the
council also did much good work.
Those actively connected with the
work OF organizing lneighborhood
councils found many members OF the
different councils at the bazaar who
expressed extreme enthusiasm over
the affair. Some came with their
children who have recently Joined the
Y. w. L. or the Juniors. Many of
the younger ones were active among
the Juniors during the Saturday after.
noon session which was devoted TO
the Junior groups.
II was gratifying to see the women
coming out Of the kitchen TO Join in
the struggles Of the workers.
