PERHAPS The
RED LIAR" is
A PRESS AGENT
"Red Revel" Publicity
Makes Its Debut

Peculiar how typographical errors
sometimes have more truth than
poetry in them! What should have
read "red star" read red liar" in an
issue of the DAILY WORKER last
week. 1t caused good deal Of COM
ment. It said, watch out for the red
liar" and the red liar is coming"
When the Red Revel publicity be-
gins to break in real earnest, some
of our readers who never attended this
annual event in the past will begin
to doubt the veracity of the Red
Revel press agent His stun will sound
too good. Perhaps they will say: "Ah!
This is the red liar the DAILY WORK
Err warned us to be on the lookout
for"
Now, sometimes a good fiction
writer is ten times more interesting
than saint. In fact, it is very doubt
full if we advertised the presence Of
a small army of angels at the Red
Revel, that we could get enough at
tendance to fill taxicab.
Brains Are Busy.
The brains of an arrangements COM
mittee, that has as much experience
getting up entertainments as lawyer
has in evading the law, is busy hatch
ing plans to make the coming Red
Revel the biggest and the best ever
held in Chicago. Every language fed
GRAFTON of the Workers Party will do
its darnest to carry off the honors.
There will be friendly competition and
rivalry.
1t will be masked ball. This
promises a delightful series Of sur
prises to the adventurous. You can
never tell what kind of a face may be
behind an innocent mask.
The Red Revel will be held on
February 2S, at the West End Women's
Club, 81 South Ashland Ave-, corner of
Monroe st. The proceeds will be de-
voted to supplying local Chicago with
the necessary funds to enable it to
carry on vigorous organizing and
educational campaign during the COM
ing year.

TENANTS WORK
SIS Per CENT OF
U. S. FARM LAND
Lack Any Legal Aid or
Proper Schools

NEW YORK.-Tho 66S per cent OF
the improved agricultural acreage Of
the country is being farmed by ten
ants and this percentage is constantly
increasing, no laws are being passed
in the interest Of the tenant farmer,
the federal council of churches finds
after a survey of rural problems by
its rural committee.
The survey shows that America ne.
elects her tenant farmers far more
than England where the renter is be:
ginning to get payment for soil and
property improvements after his lease
expires. In this country the tenant
forfeits his improvements when his
tenure ends. Most American farm
leases run for IL month periods, SC
the tenant has no incentive to i'm,
prove the land and thus soil robbing
goes on at an alarming rate.
Lack Of educational facilities is an
outstanding i'll of rural life. About
100000 children are in the rural
schools, with 100000 teachers. Less
per capita is spent on the rural chill.
dren and country teachers are paid
less than city teachers.

BY JOHN H. OWENS.

Whenever the Negro asks for GER
tain rights and privileges that are
being denied him, the white bour-
geoisie attempt to throw a smoke
screen around the issue by screaming
social equality" Deprecatingly. the
Negro leaders" insist that Negroes
themselves do not desire social equal
ity. I'm all things that are purely
social we can be as separate as the
fingers" said the late Booker T. Wash
ington, yet one as the hano in all
things essential to mutual progress
But can we?
The development and contradictions
OF capitalistic society precluded the
possibility of any submerged and ex-
plotted group or class enjoying social
equality or, for that matter, any equal
ity within the social order. Inequality
Of opportunity is the keystone Of any
capitalistic state. The blacks are the
most intensely exploited group in
America; hence it is not difficult to
understand that they must remain
content with a minimum of social
rights and privileges just so long as
the present system is dominant
Optimistic Negroes have held forth
the opinion that social privileges
would automatically follow the acqui-
sition Of education and property. The
Negro has acquired both; but this has
only intensified the struggle-social
equality has been pushed further into
the future In the south, in things

ment Of profits, over and above per

at the expense of the communities

workers are marching on the streets
looking for work A few days ago
1000 unemployed workers stormed
the city employment bureau in the

among the vast throng of humanity
we see the spirit of community fund.
The spirit needs lots of help. Wei

But the hungry workers declare
that community spirit does not helr

BALTIMORE. .June 6.-This CITY
apparently is to have fairly large
number of building and loan associa-
lions added to those already in op-
Grafton here this year.
Figures compiled for April show
that 10 new organizations were added
during that month, thus bringing the
total of associations incorporated dur
ing the first four months to 29. At
this rate the total for the year should
be within striking distance of 100.
Records of interpretations show that
April was the second best month in
1925 in the number of new building
and loan associations incorporated,
March being the best month, and the
lowest figures being recorded during
February.

Bay Ridge is located on
Chesapeake Bay, three miles
south of Annapolis, has over
two miles of Bay front, with
wide, sandy beach and the best
bathing on the bay.
Bay Ridge was purchased
three years ago by the Bay
Ridge Realty Corp, and the
property subdivided into 1907
lots 50 by 200 feet and 100 by
200 feet, new streets and roads
were built and now Bay Ridge
has over 8 miles of good roads
and streets.
The best people of Washing
ton and Baltimore are buying
and erecting their Summer
homes at Bay Ridge and now
more than 100000 in new
homes have been built at Bay
Ridge, including a modern
hotel.
The present route to Bay
Ridge is via Marlboro and An
napolis, a distance of 46 miles.
However, the new Defense
Highway from Washington to
Annapolis is nearing compile
ton, and when this is COM
pleted, the distance from
Washington to Bay Ridge will
be but 80 miles, with concrete
road the entire distance.
You can purchase water
front lot at Bay Ridge and
build your Summer home
where your family can spend
the entire Summer and you
can drive down every evening.
Our sane. judicious restric-

fully safe-guarded and where
they can spend the Summer
months in colony of good
people with city conveniences.
Bay Ridge has electricity,
telephone service and daily de-
livery of ice, milk and gro
ceries, also free mail delivery.
Lake Ogleton, a natural lake
of about 200 acres, is part of
our property and forms a
splendid harbor for launches,
splendid for boating, fishing
and grabbing.
Bay Ridge is not public
bathing beach or picnic
ground, but quiet Sum-
mer home colony and
real playground for the tired
business man, where he may
live with his family and enjoy
the bathing, fishing and crab
bing away from the noise and
heat of the city.
To really appreciate Bay
Ridge, you must drive down
and see the wonderful Sum-
mer homes owned by your
neighbors and see the beau
tifully shaded water front lots
which we offer for sale.
Our representatives will be
at our Office on the grounds

HONOLULU, April 27.-The
marines were expected to swing into
action today in the United States
pavy's greatest peace time
meneuvers.
Land forces of the "black" ranks
defending the Hawaiian Islands
from attack" of the blue" fleet
were guarding the shores against
the prospective landing of 1900
marines from the transport Hender-
son.
If the Devil Dogs" should es.
tablish a successful base the war
will be brought to an official
termination, umpires agreed, with
victory going to the invaders.
The blue" fleet is bearing on
Oahu. it is rumored, intent on
capturing this island, with Honolu-
lu the chief object.
Increased air and light naval
activity was observed yesterday
One "blue" destroyer was sunk by
a coast defense yesterday when the
BLACK" tender Sudonda opened fire
at close range on the submarine S-S3
at midnight and was victorious.
Reports are drifting back here of
a fleet Of BLACK" coast patrol boats
and airplanes clashing with blue"
submarines off the northwest coast
Of Oahu. 1t is apparent, according
to Admiral Robert e. Coontz, chief
umpire, that the blue" force is
maintaining a submarine Gordon
around the island, awaiting the
main attack.
