| IRISH KELIEF
NOW IN MOTION
Support Coming from
All Directions

The machinery for raising money
for the famine stricken workers and
peasants in the west Of ireland is
now in motion and funds are reaching
the national office of the Irish Work
ers' and Peasants Relief Committee
from all parts Of the United States
and from Canada.
Contribution lists and leaflets are
now off the presses in the DAILY

are requested to order supplies at
once.
Among the Irish organizations that
have so far voted to help in the fam
inc relief work are the Leitrim Work
ers' Educational Society of New York
and the Irish Workers. Republican
Club of Chicago. The former thru
it's secretary, James Grafton, sent
$500 as the first donation and or
dered bundle of contribution lists.
The members of this society come
from one of the countries most Sc
verely hit by the famine. -
Donation From Unemployed.
An unemployed worker from Penn
sylvania sent in donation tho he
needs every nickel he can lay hands
on. But this is the spirit that the
American working class has always
displayed when the call for aid from
their brothers and sisters in other
countries was sounded.
Several mass meetings are being ar
ranged in many parts Of the country.
The San Francisco branch of the IN
ternational Workers Aid got on the
job Immediately and arranged an af-
fair for March 20. Ella Reeve Bloor,
veteran of the class struggle and the
speaking platform, has been appoint
ed organizer for Irish Famine Relief
work in San Francisco and vicinity.
Mass Meetings Arranged.

BRUTAL ATTACK
ON CROWD AT
EBERT FUNERAL
Successor May Require
Two Elections


BERLIN, March $50 accustomed
to brutal treatment of crowds of work
ers are the German police under the
regime Of Ebert, the socialist presi-
dent, that even at his funeral ceremony
they lost their heads and, mounted on
horses, rode violently and deliber-
ately into the dense crowds on the
PotsdamerpIatz, trampling down
women and children while thousands
shouted curses at them and women
screamed with pain and terror.
1t is estimated that about 200 peo-
pie were trodden beneath the police
horses hoofs, scores of women and
children had to be carried away un-
conscious by ambulances and friends,
and in spite of the sharply cold
weather, hundreds of persons tainted
in the stampede to escape from the
attack of the police.
Meanwhile preparations are being
made by all parties for the election
on March 20. As there are so many
parties, and no one may get MAORI
ty over the others, that is, an absolute
majority of the total vote cast, this
election may be in the nature Of a
primary. and the highest enes may
later have to run again to determine
the, final election.

letter to the mill officials.
This letter stated that the strikers

cut, asking the strikers to return to
work under protest" and promising

The statement is as follows:
TO ALL LABOR UNIONS AND
WORKING CLASS ORGANIZATIONS
IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.
Dear Sirs and Brothers.
The Illinois state legislature has
now before it the anti-injunction bill
which passed the committee by a vote
of II to Is and now goes to the whole
house for final action.
Although passed by the committee,
it is freely predicted by supporters of
the manufacturing interests in Illinois
that the bill will be defeated, as it has
been in the past. This is true, unless
the forces of militant labor compel
the passage of the anti-injunction bill.
What Injunction Means
Working men, organized and un-
organized understand what the in
junction means when employed
against the workers on strike, on the
picket line, etc.
We, laboring men, know that the
injunction has only been a weapon of
the boss to be used against the work
ers. When workers have been on
strike and the boss has failed to make
them come to terms, then the boss
briggs out this reserves-the capital
list courts, with their injunction either
preventing the strike, attempting to
limit the scope of the strike on the
matter of picketing, and so on. Or,
if the occasion demands, as the min
ers, building trades workers, stock
yard laborers and others only too well
know, the boss calls for further re-
sources from his capitalist govern
ment and then out come the militia,
soldiers, thugs and gunner.
The anti-injunction bill presumably
recognizes the right of the union to
use to the fullest extent the powers
Of the organization against the manu-
featuring and capitalist interests.

can do it gracefully, President Cool

quiry" to Soviet Russia to determine
the basis for recognition of Russia
by the United States and the negotia-
ton Of a trade treaty.
Hughes has left for a trip to Ber-
muda, where he hopes to forget his
mistake in refusing to deal civilly
with the Soviet government. Kellogg

ter being sworn into oz1ce, but re-

"Prosressives" Get Gate.
The committee on committees of
the new congress will enforce Cool
idges policies by keeping the PRO
gressive" republicans off of all COM
mittees in both the house and senate.
Included in the house blacklist are
the Wisconsin Representatives and
Representatives LaGuardia of New
York, and Keller of Minnesota. The
"progressives" are begging to be TAX

licans."
The senate mildly. criticized Dawes
today for his "impoliteness" during
his inauguration yesterday. Senator
Reed of Missouri sarcastically moved
in view of Dawes unconventional an
tics that the irregular swearing in Of
new senator's be legalized. This mo-
tion was unanimously carried. Sena-
tor Ashurst of Arizcssz characterized
Dawes actions as ''unseemly and I'm.

an early adjournment to save Dawes
from further "razzing."
To Approve Trust Laekey.
One of the first acts of the short
session of the senate is expected to
be the approval of Charles B, War
rem, sugar trust lawyer, as the new
attorney general.
The Lausanne treaty negotiated by
Hughes with Turkey, which the previ
