Many Meetings

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25.-The bar.
bers of Los Angeles have realized for
some time past the necessity of doing
something to better their condition.
At the present time, legislation is
pending in the state legislature that
if passed will prohibit BARRIERS from
performing barber work upon fe-
males, and further prohibit BARRIERS
from massaging, shampooing, ETC.,
any person regardless of sex.
If this pending legislation should
pass, it would no doubt improve the
conditions Of the workers in China,
and would also eliminate a lot of d.
vorces as it would also give the bar
bers chance to realize that without
strong organization unemployment
would grow in proportion to the en-
forcement of this law.

March 18th Demands Your Best, New York

MARCH Is is the date of the great
IVl est task ever undertaken by the
Communist movement in New York
City. 1t is proposed to secure fifteen
thousand subscribers for the DAILY

Madison Square Garden on that date
for press pageant, Paris Commune
celebration concert and ball.
To fill Madison Square for an enter
tainment is a real VANISHED job in it.
self. To fill it with subscribers for
the DAILY WORKER is a task truly
herculean. 1t will require the active
cooperation of every Workers Party
paper, every party institution, every
party and Young Workers League
unit, every member to measure up
to the possibilities of this occasion.
Judging from the response to the
early announcements this cooperation.
will be forthcoming one hundred per

enthusiasm.
They realize that the securing of
fifteen thousand subscribers for the
DAILY WORKER means a tremen-
dous propaganda in itself. A good
percentage of them can be made per
manent, and will thus become a
mighty factor in the ultimate estab-
lishment of DAILY WORKER right
here in New York
They also realize that a Madison
Square Garden meeting is worth more
for propaganda than a hundred ordi-
nary meetings. In hall holding only
three or four thousand the bulk of the
audience always consists of Workers
Party members and their immediate
friends. Never more than few hun

meetings. But in a Madison Square

STAGE SET FOR
C AL A Time AT
RED REVEL BALL
Brilliant Costumes to
Make Judges Wary

The stage is all set for the grand
est affair yet held by the Workers
Party, Local Chicago, the Red Revel
Masquerade Ball. All the branches
are participating. The Young Work
ers League will be out in full force as
we'll as the juniors who have con-
trived the most cunning and express
i've costumes in their efforts to win
the big prize offered for the best
group costume.
From the reports received from our
branches it seems as tho every
branch will have a chance at the big
prize. The judges at the midnight
parade of the masqueraders will no
doubt find it difficult to choose from
among the many varieolored groups,
the twenty to win the prizes. None
of the great men whom we have so
far approached for the arduous task
of Judging the best costume have ac-
cepted. We will have to resort to
challenges, it is supposed.
Get Tickets Early.
All Workers Party comrades and
branches and all our friends are asked
to provide themselves with tickets in
advance because they are only sc
cents in advance as cents at the
door,, to get their costumes and to
be out in full force at the masquer-
ade.
Workers Party branches should also
not forget to send their representa-
tive to the meeting of the RED REV

send in to the local Office of the
Workers Party the names of those

Sinclair Boasts That
He Won't be Caught;
Evidence Don't Count

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. = Harry
Sinclair, thru close associates in the
capitol, is sending out the word that
he will not be caught with any evil
dence of bribery of Albert Fall, for
mer secretary of the interior upon
him.
1t is suggested that the discovery
that Fall deposited in his own bank
account lot of coupons from liberty
bonds that are traced back to dunn
my corporation in Canada, founded
by Sinclair and representative Of
Standard Oil of Indiana, will not
prove Sinclair to be implicated. Os-
Ter, the head of the dummy concern,
who fed to Africa to hunt big game
when the court got after him, is de-
cleared to be ready to say he never
met Sinclair.

MANY NEGROES
join PARTY AT
MASS MEETING
Workers Must Organize
Regardless of Color

Twenty-three persons applied for
membership in the Workers (Com.
munist) Party at the most success
full mass meeting held among the Ne
groes of the south side in manN
months. The speakers told the work.
ers present of the demands of the
Workers (Communist) Party in the
aldermanic campaign.
Gordon Owens, prominent Negro
Communist, told of the program of
the Workers Party on the Negro prob.
lem. He made an appeal to all work
ers of all races to unite to overthrow
their explOiters and join the Workers
Party.
E. L. F. Doty, Communist candidate
for alderman who was ruled off the
ballot by the election commissioners,
declared that the Negroes of the whole
world must unite as a class and work
shoulder to shoulder with the white
workers, in the unions and the Work
ers Party to secure control of the gov
eminent and industries for their class.
Comrade Doty told of the pogroms
against the Jews in Russia before the
revolution, and told how in Russia to.
day the Soviet government is a work.
ers' and peasants government run for
the benefit Of the entire working class.
Karl Reeve, reporter for the DAILY
WORKER, told of the international
struggle of all the colonial peoples for
power, and told Of the growing revolt
of the dark races in India, Africa,
Asia and the entire world, under the
Communist banner. Comrade Reeve
told how the subject races are ex-
plotted by the capitalists at less wag-
es than are paid the whites. He told
how in America the textile barons
exploit the southern Negroes at cheap
er wages than are paid the whites,
consequently reducing wages for the
same work in the north. The only
solution, he declared, was the uniting
of the workers under the Workers
Party banner as a class.
The ku klux khan and similar organ
izations, are used in an attempt to
divide the workers into different races
and creeds, and any division of the
workers is detrimental to their own
interests. Reeve told of the housing
conditions among the Negroes on the
south side, and quoted from the Work
ers Party resolution on the Negro
question.
Comrade Mailer, who acted as
chairman, spoke on the DAILY
WORKER and its relation to the Ne
groes' problems.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-02-27

we know for certainty that besides
the party members and their families
there are at least ten thousand out
siders. Such meeting is therefore
real achievement IN reaching the
mass.
To make it a success will test the
powers of the New York movement
But making it success will also de.
velop the powers of the New York
organization as no other effort could
or would.
See that your branch puts its shout
der to the wheel and helps push. Sub
scription tickets for the affair have
been sent to all branches of the party
and Young Workers League. If you
have not received yours, come to the
District Office, 1OS East 14th street,
and get supply and get busy at once.
Incidentally worth while prizes are
offered to the individual and branches
making the best records In this work.
The contest ends March IS. Begin now
and make use of this opportunity dur
ing the next three weeks to make
Communist propaganda and build the
Communist organization.

The only Legitimate excuse the Red Revel mas
querade ball has for breaking into the limelight
is that it is primarily intended to provide the
munitions of for the local and district offices
of the Workers Party. Which means it is organized
for the purpose of raising funds with which to
carry on propaganda against the capitalist system
and to organize the workers for the overthrow of
capitalism.
This is legitimate excuse. 1t is an end that
justifes the means. Besides Communists like
to make merry once in while. 1t is good for them.
Even Karl Marx and Engels used to make merry.
One of Marks favorite pastmes was making a
chronological examination of visitors. Certain
heads are interesting, at least on the outside Marx
was more interested in the inside. IS
Communists and sympathizers will use their feet
as well their heads next Saturday night
Their heads will be used as background for masks
This means little more mystery and a little more
money for the local Office of the Workers Party.

Ever since the shooting at the Les
ter strip mine in Williamson county,
southern Illinois, in 1922, the city Of
Herrin has been much in the public
eye. 1t was the scene of the great
trial in which the capitalists of this
state tried to hang the miners who
defended their homes and their union
against the dregs of the underworld in
the role of scabs.
The Trouble Started.
Shortly after the mine riot the ku
klux khan came into Williamson coun-
ty and under the leadership of Glenn
Young left death and destruction in
its wake. Several shootings occurred
with considerable loss to both sides,
khan and anti-klan. 1c
The latest shooting ARRAY resulted
in the death of the khan leader Young
and his foremost opponent, Ora
Thomas, deputy sheriff.
What was really behind the khan
fight in Williamson county? Who
were supporting it? What was it
trying to accomplish? In order to get
the facts, the DAILY WORKER sent
a correspondent, Thurber Lewis into
bloody Williamson" in order to get
at the facts.
Lewis interviewed most of the i'm
portant leaders on ooJn SIDES. He
talked to Sheriff Galligan and to the
khan cyclops who inherited Young's
mantle. 1t was no easy assignment,
but Lewis is young and hardboiled.
He has an interesting story to tell.
The Leading Gunman.
1t was not so pleasant to interview
a bakers dozen of loaded revolvers
to which were attached as many sour
looking thugs, presided over by
Kentucky feudist, whose favorite mu-
sic is the barking of gats and his fav-
orite target a human body This lead
ing gentleman is YOung's successor.
He did not say much. but you will
like to hear Comrade Lewis tell his
story.
The story will be told at the Work
ers Party open forum on next Sunday
evening at $500 o'clock, in the Ladge
Room of the Ashland Auditorium, cor
ner of Ashland and Van Buren, SITS.
