War Paint Monopoly
to Be Seen Sunday;
Shin Kicking Barred

When the savage Sioux once wan
dered Ger the prairie, and to lift
scalp was often well inclined, he
would never let the squaws get too
canary, and insisted that they should
not paint their rind.
But--Lor' luv us, how things have
changed! The poor male today is not
only forbidden from painting up for the
war dance, but the fiappers monopol-
lie all the war paint and there's no
role left for the unsuspecting man but
to be the victim. If you don't be-
lieve us, come to the massacre that
is to take place on the occasion Of the
Springtime dance next Sunday eve
ming, at the Workers Lyceum, 27S3
Hirsch Boulevard.
The only caution Paul Simonson,
master of ceremonies, sounds, is the
warning that there is to be no kick
ing on the shins.

Houston is the highest ranking Of

"higher-ups" who directed the bootleg
gangs and the big politicians involved,
escaped punishment.
Government investigators declared
Lieut.. Houston had accepted $4,000
in graft money. Houston who pleaded
guilty, said this figure was exagger-
ated. Judge Hickenlooper told him
the amount made no difference. He
scored Houston for setting a bad
example to his men.
Detective Got $4,000.
Louis Sunderman, member OF the
flying squad of detectives, who also
pleaded guilty received the same
sentence. It was charged that Sun.

premier Of Nova Scotia in Halifax.
After four days deliberations the
conference adjourned without any
agreement being arrived at.
The rank and file insists on the 1924
rates. The company insists on a 10
per cent cut and concessions on the
part Of the men, as far as conditions
are concerned. AS is always the case,
the increased tariff of SO cents on coal
coming in from U. S. A. granted by the
Canadian government does not mean

FOUND GUILTY
FOR CARRYING,
ANTIQUE GUNS
Judge Said Lads Might
Change Their Minds

NEW YORK, April 22.-The three
young Communists. members of the
Young. Workers League, Comrades
Winogradoff, zalon and Diamond, were
found guilty of having firearms in
their possession" The learned judges
declared that while it appears that
the possession of these guns on this
occasion was for a lawful purpose,
still we think the law takes into ac-
count the possibility that on other
occasions men might similarly possess
guns for lawful purpose and then use
them for an unlawful purpose"
This is the most ridiculous decision.
Having guns in their possession for
theatrical purposes indicates that
these same workers might use them
for an unlawful purpose" Well, the
actors at the Metropolitan Opera
House, many of whom are foreigners,
also use guns in the performances
before the wealthy class of New York,
but no judge has yet declared that
they might be used for an unlawful
purpose"
Glass Decision.
The decision rendered by the three
august judges of the New York cri-
minal court, is clear class decision.
Three young Communists who were to
participate in the Paris Commune
pageant and who used obsolete rifles
that had long lost their power to be
discharged-as the judges were forced
to admit - were convicted of a
crime" The law requires that no
foreigner shall possess a firearm: the
court declared that using them for
theatrical purposes is possession"
This decision is only. part of the
campaign against the foreign-born
workers in this country-particula
if they are radical or revolutionary
workers. The three lads did not deny
that they were Communists and mem
bers of the Young Workers League.
Hence the capitalist court had an op.
portunity to deal a double blow at
the foreign-born and the Communists
Nevertheless, the judges suspended
sentence - otherwise the situation
would have been even more ridiculous
The Labor Defense Council, New York
Section, who are conducting the de.
tense, have decided to appeal the case
The Communists will give more per.
formances and demand the same right
to use firearms as the playboys of the
rich. The Labor Defense Council is
| determined to put the courts of this
country again on record as confirming
that there is one law for the rich and
one law for the workers.
Funds will be required for appealing
the case. All sympathizers and class
conscious workers should send their
contributions to the Labor Defense
Council, N. Y. Section, 1OS E. 14th St.

COOLIDGE PLANS
STRICT BAR ON
FOREIGN WORKER
State, Labor, Treasury
Officials Confer
Especial to The Daily wOrksrl


WASHINGTON, April pa com
plete revision Of American imnfIara.
tlon rules, with virtual elimination Of
all immigration stations along the A.
lantie coast in an effort to further 70.
strict the admission to the United
States of foreign-born workers was
considered today at a conference Of
state, labor and treasury officials.
The proposals before the conference
would virtually wipe out Ellis Island
as an immigration station and would
erect extraordinary safeguards against
the admission Of undesirable" aliens.
To Watch Japanese
The conference considered plans for
the establishment Of an immigration
inspection service in all American
eonsulates abroad, the assignment of
immigration and medical inspectors to
all transatlantic liners and the tight
ening up Of the wise regulations, par
ticularly in regard to students. It is
under this designation that many jap
anese are admitted to the United
States.
The various government agencies
represented at the conference were
urged to apply more strictly" all laws
relating to admission Of aliens as
''non-emigrant" visitors. This stricter
enforcement would be extended too to
aliens claiming the student status.
The conference, held in the ONCE of
Secretary Of Labor Davis, was attended
by Davis, and assistant secretaries
Henning and White, commissioner
general Of immigration, Husband, as
sistant secretary Of state, Carr, several
state department attaches and Sur
geon General Cummings, representing
the public health service.
Spies on Ocean Liners.
One subject discussed at the con-
ference related to the feasibility Of
having immigrant inspectors and med
ical examiners on vessels from for
eign ports to ports in this country
conducting examination Of aliens
aboard the vessels during the voyage.
The stricter rules are seen as an
effort to bar foreign radicals from
this country.
