Lobby of Illinois
Labor Takers Beaten
by Small's Assembly

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 12-With
only six weeks left before the ad-
journment of the Illinois legislature.
the lobby of the labor union officials
finds itself without single victory on
any measure aimed to help the work
ers.
The Barr bill to create state po-
lice force Of 750 men, was passed
without the opposition of the labor
lobbyists. The Barr bill, backed by
Governor Small, had the active sup
port of the manufacturers association.
The bill to limit the working day Of
illinois women toieight hours has been
practically killed, and has no chance
of passage. The bill prohibiting the
courts from issuing injunctions in la
Dor disputes was defeated. Small had
promised to pass this bill, in return
for the labor union officials support
Of him in the election, but most of
the republican senators controlled by
Small voted against the bill.
The Barr traction bill. written by

DULGAR WHITE
TERROR DRAWS
LOCAL PROTEST
Meeting Sunday of All
Balkan-Americans

Thousands of workers and peas
ants have been summarily slaughtered
and jailed in the white terror that
has engulfed Bulgaria. The ministers
to Bulgaria of the allied powers, in
Guiding the United States, forced the
Quarreling Balkan capitalist govern
ments to unite against the workers,
and especially to massacre the Com
munists.
In America the workers are called
by the Balkan speaking workers re-
siding in America, to protest the con-
tinuance of this wave of barbarous re-
action sweeping their native lands.
The Balkan federation branches of
the Workers (Communist) Party have
arranged a mass demonstration meet
ing in Chicago, to take place on Sun
day, May II, at $3.50 p. m. at Hold Car
riers' Hall, GA West Harrison street,
near Halsted.
Speakers representative of the Bal
kan and American workers will ad-
dress the meeting. Earl R. Browder,
editor of the Workers Monthly and
member of the Central Executive Com
mittee of the Workers Party, will
speak in English. X. Mikalachki
will speak in South Slavic, c. Koteff
in Bulgarian, and X Kostis. in Greek.
All workers are welcome and admis-

condition of the liquidation of war in
Soochow and Shanghai, just as it is
difficult for me to argue that the

sary for settling the general situation.

However, even if the Chinese army
did badly want white detachment ia
restore order (Which is open to strong
doubt, l would still object in the
most categorical manner against such
a justification of the presence in the
Chinese army of a detachment of
white guards.
In view of the foregoing, have to
protest in the most energetic manner:
first, against the attempt of Chinese
military chiefs to pretend that a
white guardist detachment consists of
Chinese citizens, which is in contra
diction with the facts and the law;
secondly, against an attempt to escape
the execution of an obligation without
the slightest good reason; and,
thirdly, l must insist most resolutely

At the same time, may be permit

ton to such an attitude in regard to
avery essential part of the agreement
signed on May 81, 1924, and stress
that, with this attitude OF the Chin

tunity to Russian white guards to
masquerade under any foreign right of
citizenship, including the Chinese.
Whatever the citizenship adopted by
a subject of the former Russian en-
pire, he will never cease to be sub
ject Of the former Russian empire. In
other words, one physical person OF
another having been a subject of the
former Russian empire is a fact hav-
ing existed in the past, and whatever
the status of such a person at the
present time, a-fact which existed
eight years ago cannot be altered by
the new judicial status Of that person.
Consequently, Hg adopting the right
Of citizenship Of the Republic OF
China, a white guard cannot thereby
abolish the fact that he had formerly
been subject of the Russian empire.
And il was precisely that criterion of
ones having been in the past sub
ject Of the Russian empire that both
parties were guided by when they
agreed about the discontinuance of
the services of the aforementioned
category of persons in the Chinese
army.
Cannot Twist Agreement.
IL Is but natural that by altering
"post-factum," that is after the sigma
ture Of the agreement, the status Of
the Russian white guards, the gov
eminent Of the Republic of China can
not free itself from the obligations 1t
took upon itself. In any case, the
Chinese government cannot be ex-
empted from loyal execution OF the
agreement Of May 81, 1924, by the fact
that generals under whose command
is the mentioned detachment Of Rus
sian whites, are trying to avoid the
execution Of this agreement by turn

FORMER KANSAS
GOVERNOR FACES
BRIBERY TRIAL
Davis Charges Trusts in
Political Move


TOPEKA, Kans., May H. When
Judge James A. Mcclure of the Shaw
nee county district court this morning
called the case Of the state of Kansas
against Jonathan M. Davis, accused of
conspiracy and accepting bride, a
crowded court room greeted the ris-
ing of the curtain on Kansas first
sight of one of its governors on trial
on criminal charge.
Forty men and women-many OF
them farmers-of the special venire
of rs have been called.
Sold Pardon.
Davis is charged with conspiracy
and soliciting bride in connection
with the efforts for pardon for Wal
ter Grundy, hoy banker" Of Hutchin-
son. Charged with him is Carl ].
Peterson, former bank commissioner.
Peterson asked for separate trial
and as a result probably will not be
tried before fall
There was an Unexpectedly tense
atmosphere about the court room
when the trial began, due, it was said
by court and political persons, to the
opinion that the case will be bitterly
fought by both sides.
The former governor was one Of
the early arrivals in the court room.
Charges Arrest Was Political.
Davis said he felt the charges
against him were the result Of a de-
termination by inimical interests in
both parties in Kansas to prevent a
dirt farmer" from again seeking the
governorship.
He reviewed the history of his ad-
ministration on taxation and the re-
valuation of railroad property in the
state, which involves more than $780,
100000 regarding which railroad suits
are now pending in federal court. He
directly accused the railroad interests
of having helped to foster "the religi-
Gus antagonism" which has been a fac
tor in recent campaigns. 1t was tacit-
ly understood he was referring to the
khan issue.
Trapped Taking Bride.
Evidence which resulted in charges
of bribery against him and his son,
Russell, is known as the "PolIman
case" in which Russell Davis was
trapped in hotel room here when he
received from Fred Pollman $1,000 af-
ter bringing to Pollman, a former
banker of Lacygne, pardon issued by
the governor.

JOINS FIGHT FOR
SACCO, VANzETT|
Demands Release of the
Class War Prisoners

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May Ii
Agitation for the release of all class
war prisoners was redoubled here to-
day among the workers of Mime
apolis, as result of the very success
full mass protest meeting held under
the direction last night of the Labor
Defense Council, at the Court House
Auditorium, demanding the liberation
of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Van
zetti, now under sentence of death in
Massachusetts.
Workers present pledged them
selves to carry the fight back to their
organizations, to circulate defense
literature and to gather contributions
to carry on the struggle for the re-
lease of the prisoners.
Among the speakers were j. Louis
Engdahl, editor of the DAILY WORK
Err; Dan W. Stevens, Communist can
didate for mayor in today's municipal
elections; John Gabriel Soltis, Emil
E. Holmes, of the World War Veterans,
and recent candidate of the Minnesota
farmer-labor party for lieutenant gov
ernor, with State Senator S. A. Stock
well acting as chairman. Resolutions
were adopted as follows:
WHEREAS, Sacco and Vanzetti
have been convicted of murder in the
first degree by biased jury under
the instructions of a prejudiced Judge

dence in the state of Massachusetts,
and have already been imprisoned
more than five years, and
WHEREAS, All unprejudiced OBJ
servers and investigators of the trial
and the enlightened public opinion
and press of the United States are
agreed that this case constitutes a
gross miscarriage of justice and a
travesty upon American judicial pro-
cesses, and,
WHEREAS, All efforts of the de-
Tense to secure new trial and the
opportunity to present uncontrovert-
ible new evidence of their innocence
have been denied by their first trial
Judge, Thayer,
THEREFORE, BE 1T RESOLVED
that we, citizens in mass meeting as
sembled in the city hall of Minnea-

Atraces and the party dwindled down
to few dozen. 1t still kept a little
sheet, called the Citizen, going. But
evidently the going was not very good,
so its promoters, being willing to do
anything but lie, looked around for
pulmotor. The electric trust stood
out like beacon light to the famished
takers who controlled the Citizen.
THE present editor of the Citizen
is also state secretary OF the So
cialist party in New York. He is
actively engaged organizing one of
those yellow" conventions at which
Eugene V. Debs, playing the role Of
revivalist, is expected to preside. His
name is Herbert Merrill. He carries
a red card. Yet. in a recent issue
of the Citizen, Merrill sent out to all
subscribers form letter by the Gen.
eral Electric company boosting that
trust. In the wrapper with the paper
and the form letter was other adver-
Using matter. And the paper itself
carried an article with the information
that the great trust is not really
owned by the "malefactors of great
wealth." but by its employees. That
shameless sheet is liable to wind up as

justice.

portance, and point to which l beg
to invite your main attention, is
that, according to article w of the
law of 1912, foreigners or those
who have no citizenship acquire the
right of Chinese citizenship with the
permission of the ministry of the
interior"
Now, the local authorities must re-
fer the applications for Chinese citi-
zenship to the ministry of interior.
while according to article 6 of the
same law of 1912, "the granting of
citizenship becomes valid on and
from the date Of publication in the
official gazette"
Names Not In Official Gazette.
Granting that, by their nature and
character, the white guards in ques-
ton satisfy the conditions provided
for by the Chinese laws on natural
ization-which, of course, would be a
matter for the government of the
Republic of China alone to decide
| may yet be permitted to draw your
attention to the fact that, neverthe-
less, the said white guards cannot
be regarded as Chinese citizens for
purely formal reasons, namely-be-
cause they have not been confirmed
as such latter by the ministry OF in
terror, nor have their names been
published in the official gazette-an
absolute necessary condition OF
formal procedure to become Chinese
citizens.
AS documentary evidence OF the
non-existence of such an altogether
unnecessary formal moment, there
can serve the official gazette
wherein, in the lists OF persons hav-
ing passed into Chinese citizenship,
there are not to be found the names
OF those thousand odd white guards
whom you have enormously counted
among the Chinese citizens.
Generals Usurp Power.
Thus, the white guards who are in
the Chinese army cannot, on the
exact and formal basis OF the Chin.
ese law, be considered as Chinese
citizens.

1t was the policy Of the hotel own
ers in the days when King John Bar
leycorn was on the throne to furnish
their employees with a fairly good
brand of whisky, wines and beer. They
aimed to keep the cooks and other
employees under the influence Of liquor
in order that they might the more
easily be exploited.
The policy worked we'll The slaves
were willing to work seven days a
week, twelve and sixteen hours day,
so long as there was something obtain
able to drink. Since the passing of
the Barleycorn regime the policy has
changed and the hotel owners now do
not furnish the employees with liquors.
In some few cases nearbeer is fur
nished.
With the coming of the eighteenth
constitutional amendment the hotel
owners were compelled to discontinue
the dole of liquors for the employees.
In one sense this was a very beneficial
thing. The slaves have now clear
minds and it is possible to appeal to
the reason Of those employed in the
culinary industry.
Big Profits to Hotel Owners.
The workers in the past have pro-
duced an immense amount Of wealth,
most of which has passed into the
hands of the barons of the food trust.
1t was the daily cry OF the food barons
that they we're losing money and for
that reason were compelled to pay
poor wages.
We now know this to be a fragrant
misrepresentation The Palmer House
management is now building a new
hotel that will cost forty million dol
lars when completed. The La Sale
is planning a larger hotel that will
cost fifty millions, and the Morrison
is building an annex that will come to
five millions In money.
While these various hotel owners
are spending millions OF dollars build
ing new hotes their slaves are suf-
fering a hellish life. The conditions
surrounding them are unbearable;
they work in unsanitary kitchens
where the air is impure. Such con-
ditions are not confined to the Hotel
La Sale, but prevail in all the other
leading hotels, including the Morri-
son.
It is quite generally supposed that
the Morrison is a union house. This
is far from the truth. In fact the
place is a sweatshop. The motto Of
the management is Speed, speed and
more speed" Which is enforced in
order to accumulate more millions for
