CAR HUTCHINSON
RULING BACKS
HIS SATELLITES.
Confirms Expulsion of
Chicago Carpenters

William L. (czar) Hutchinson, uen-
eral president of the Brotherhood Of
Carpenters has finally delivered
his decision in the case Of the five
members of Local No. 1871, who were
Illegally expelled by the officials Of
the local without trial and without
the sanction Of the members Of the
local.
The members were originally char
ged with having signed a resolution
protesting against scab Lands
award agreement signed by Harry
Jensen with five contractors in Chi
cago. The report of the trial commit
te was "doctored" which means falsi-
fed, and despite signed affidavit
from three members of that commit
tee of five, to the effect that the Sc
cretary of the committee falsified the
report, the president of the local de-
clared the members expelled tho more
than 95 per cent of the membership
Of the local are in a state of revolt
against. this railroading process.
Finally The Decision
I As was expected Hutcheson after a
long wait, during which he was en-
joying himself in Florida, decided that
the officials of Local ISL were justi-
fed in their action.
The DAILY WORKER secured a
copy Of Hutcheson's letter which is
as follows in it's most important part:
The report Of the trial committee
does not show that the appellants
were reported as admitting they were
guilty as charged but does show that
they admitted being guilty of viola

Medill Mccormick, republican United

dead in his apartment at the Hamilton

WAR BETWEEN

Admiral Phelps Turns
the Cat Loose
(spsclaI to The oaIIy Worker

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 25.-
War between England and the United
States was the prospect held out to
the women who are attending the
National Defense as Peace Insur-
anee" four-day convention in the cap
ltol, by Rear Admiral w. w. Phelps.
in lecture that created sensation
in political and diplomatic circles
here.
It is more than likely that the
British ambassador will bring the
Phelps speech to the attention of the
state department and perhaps call for
disavowal. Coming at time when
it is generally believed that the
United States and Great Britain ara
free from clashing interests thar
might result in war, the admiraPs
speech is bound to focus opinion on
the inevitability Of armed conflict be-
tween the two foremost capitalist
powers in the world and the logical
rival for commercial supremacy.
The OIL Supply
The admiral stated that England
was getting a stranglehold on the
worlds oil supply and that the bulk
of 1t was in England's control today.
He said the object of the American
open door policy was to help Amer
lean capitalists secure oil concessions.
But England has combatted this prin-
ciple everywhere, he went on, and
successfully.
The admiral continued: zone of the
primary detectives of the league of
nations, under the leadership of Eng
land, is to devise some policy to des-
troy the American favorable balance
of trade.
Serious differences are brewing
with England over shipping policies.
These differences can be prevented
from developing into a conflit only by
a strong navy. That America determ-
Ines to build up a great merchant
marine fleet has created against US
the bitter animosity of the English
shipping interests"
The Inevitable Scrap
Here we have the seed of war be-
tween England and America. An adj
miral is not expected to be a diplomat.
The state department may tell the
British government, that the "old
salt" is only blowing off a little
steam, but just as sure as England
fought Germany over commercial
and the exploitation of the
near East so will the two great inn
perialist giants America and British
fight for world hegemony. The trouble
between the United States and Japan
and between England and France are
mere sl1irmishes compared to this
coming battle between the two might
lest military and naval powers that
the world has ever known. America
Is out to dominate the world and to
grind the workers Of all lands under
her iron heel.

IRISH FAMINE
SITUATIONS
GROWING WORSE
Free State Government
SURPRISING Facts

The famine situation in the west Of
Ireland Is growing in seriousness
despite denials on the part Of the
Free State government, declares an
official statement issued by the Irish
Workers and Peasants Famine Relief
Committee from its headquarters al
10 South Lincoln street, Chicago, ~.
This committee was organized on
receipt of cable from the secretary
Of the British section Of the Interna
tional Workers Aid, who is now max
-ng tour Of the famine regions. II
is affiliated to the International Work
ers' Aid and was organized on the
initiative of the Workers (Commun
ist) Party of America.
Condition Growing Worse.
The statement of the Irish Work
ers' and Peasants Famine Relief Com
mittee follows
"The condition Of the starving work
ers and peasants on the west OF Ire
land grows more desperate daily
Help from outside of ireland has been
scant owing to the efforts of the Free
State government, to suppress news
of the famine.
THE Manchester Guardian in it's
issue of January 80 says: In the west,
in those parts known as the con-
gested districts, famine is raging ow-
ing to the complete failure of the
crops of oats and potatoes. The des-
perate plight of the area is increased
by the shortage Of turf fuel and there
is no available substitute in green
timber and brushwood 49,
Boureeoisle Not Hungry.
The Irish bourgeois supporters of
the Free State in America who dread
the loss of dignity thru poverty in the
land of their ancestors, minimize the
famine and say that the Irish can take
care Of themselves. The Irish bour-
geoisie are not cold or hungry, but
unless the workers Of the rest of the
world who can spare something from
their savings send relief, thousands
OF workers and peasants will die from
hunger or disease brought on thru
malnutrition.
THE Irish Workers and Peasants
Relief Committee appeals to the work
ers and farmers OF this country to
demonstrate their class solidarity by
sending money to their stricken broth
ers and sisters in Ireland. Besides ac-
complishing the immediate task of re-
lieving distress It will also strengthen
the bond of solidarity. that is being
forged between the workers of all
lands who are caught in the heartIess
vice Of capitalist exploitation.
''The Irish Workers and Peasants
Famine Relief Committee is preparing
subscription lists for the collection OF
funds for relief. Those who wish TO
assist in the task of raising money
for this work should communicate
with Thomas J. o,Flaherty, secretary
Of the. above committee, at 1s South
Lincoln street, Chicago, Illinois,"

The latest addition to the red-

Rogers. While Rogers satirized the

for himself as wit But now that he
has heard the whistle Of his masters,
and has turned his nimble mind over
to the capitalists, his stuff would not
do justice to even a respectable half

country have been hurting at the

1 i Swedish socialist premier is dead.
His passing will be no loss to the

the allied capitalist during the war

for his ideals. But he was not of the
stuff Of which naaetyrs ere made and
he succumbed to the flesh pots Of cap

Nash Sales at New York
JOutstrip Best Previous
Record by 41Ro.
MEANS BIG BUSINESS
Sales at Show Will Make This
January Greatest in History
of Nash Motors Company.

Demand for the Nash Advanced and
Special Six series of cars was reject
ed at the New York Automobile show
in retail sales that eclipsed the best
previous record in the history of Nash
motors by margin of Al per cent.
Introduction of the new low-priced
Nash Advanced Six Sedan and of the
new Victoria, served to acsentuate the
demand that has kept the Nash plants
busy day and night practically ever
since the announcement of the present
line of cars Aug. i.
Means Biggest January.
"The sales record established by the
Nash line at the New York show fol-
lowing close on the heels Of the great
est December in the history of the
company is in step with orders on file
at the factory from all sections of
the country which will make this the
greatest January in the history of
Nash Motors" said E. H. McCarty,
general sales manager of the Nash
motors company. "There is no ques-
ton but that the new Nash Advanced
Six Sedan, at it's remarkably low price,
has been received by the public with
frank APPROVAL. This has been demon
strated not only in New York but at
all points throughout the country
where the new model is on display"
Anticipating the possibility OF a
spring shortage Nash dealers are ar
ranging for deliveries in accordance
with the dates on which orders are re-
ceived. Those most familiar with the
situation are of the opinion that there
will not be cars enough to go around
this spring.
