Buffalo League
Not BuHaIoed
By Pat O'Brien

Getting the support of the militants
by proclaiming to be progressive" is
beginning to be a thing Of the past
The T. U. e. L. is spelling the game
of these election progressives whose
game is to get elected by making
glowing election promises. All over
the country we see in union elections
where the T. U. E. L. is active three
states, two reactionary groups calling
themselves progressive and the slate
supported by the T. U. e. L.
The Buffalo league reports on the
coming election in the Central Labor
Council show similar situation. The
"outs" supported by Patrick O'Brien
of the Seamen's Union, a renegade
socialist, are opposing the ''ins' led
by the present secretary, Owen Ka-
vanaugh. Both claim to be pro-
gressive.
The T. U. f. L., however, is sup
porting the left wing slate whose cleo
tion Campaign is based upon the pro-
gram of the T. U. E. L. which includes.
amaIgamation, the organizing Of the
unorganized, child labor, unity of the
labor movement, repeal of the Grim
inal syndiealism law, etc. Candidates
Of the left wing are as follows:
For President, Roy Raymond; Vice
President, Fred Shulman; Secretary,
Joseph Siminoff; Treasurer, Joseph
Sogvio; Cedential Committee, Sogvio,
Raymond and BONN; Organization
Committee, Raymond, Shulman, Sim
inoh, Sogvio, Berry, Bohn and Ryer-
see.

Not a Little
Unusual Effort"
By the Left Wing?

In the recent carpenters election.
the conservative locals in Cleveland
showed an unexpected strength for
Rosen, the progressive candidate, but
the progressive locals fell below the
vote which was TO be be expected,
due to the unusual efforts made in
these locals TO overcome the pro-
gressive sentiment, and to count out
the progressive votes.

NEW POLICE CHIEF
 CLEANS UP BERLIN
Crime Wave in German Capital
 Spreads AlarminSly

Berlin, April l7-Berlin has @ new chief of police, and everybody knows it. His name is Dr. Friedensburg. and he succeeds Herr Richter who was swept out of office because of his friendship with the Barmat brothers, involved in one of the largest of postwar financial scan dals.
 Dr, Friedensburg has far wider view than one usually associates with q Prussan official. He has spent six years in foreign countries, chiefly in the United States and Great Britain, and Is keenly appre- cative of the horror that the for cigner has of official red tape and i bureaucracy. He therefore seems bent upon sweeping these bureau cratic cobwebs away as fast as pos sible.
 One task confronting him is that of fighting corruption and loose morals in the German capital. Dur ing the imitation period all sorts of vices. such as gambling, thieving. and even murder spread in Berlin to an alarming degree.
 i The new chief of police seems determined 10 clean up the city. He conducts most raids personally, and already his name is feared among the element that shuns the light of day
 The new chief of police is much interested in the international as- poets of the control of crime. He is of the opinion that the modern

Rio De Janoiro, April r -- The carnival of 1925 is over, and the city today is resting from it's three days and four nights of merry making. Banks and business houses are closed, and the street cleaners are hauling away cart loads of col ored paper from the principal streets like snow in an American city after winter storm.
 Confetti and serpcntines cost more this year than they did in 1924. but even the increase in price did not prevent large consump- ton. One hundred tons of the form CT and 250 of the latter were tossed about the streets by the pleasure seeking crowds, it Is estimated. Rios bill for the jolification Is placed at $60o, ,000

There are conflicting views con-

Study has shown that dimming of
lights has frequently been a cause
of accidents and a number of states
have laws which prohibit dimming.
In fact, the whole tendency seems
to be TO do away with the practice.
