DECISION DELAYED
ON WARNING AUTOISTS
Suggestion of Cards to Call At
tention to Overtime Parking
Meets Objections.

Although traffic officials are in
quiring into a plan used in some
other cities of issuing warning cards
TO motorists the first time they are
caught for overtime parking with the
understanding they will be taken &c
court for future violations, it has not
been decided whether the system will
be put into operation here.
Commissioner Fenning said yester
day Traffic Director Eldridge had men
toned the idea to him informally. bu,
had not made a formal recommenda :
ton. 1t is understood that some
legal objections to the plan have
been raised and that traffic officials
are seeking to find a way around
these obstacles.
One objection that has been brought
up is that a man caught the second
or third time for overtime parking
might claim he never saw the warning
card left tn his machine at the time
of the first violation and that conse-
auently he is entitled to be excused
with a warning.
The theory of the plan is that 1t
would give more consideration to the
man who parks overtime for the first
} time and would also enable the Traffic
Bureau to deal more stringently with
the repeated vio1ator The warning
card would be in two sections. half

Coolidge Message Tuesday.
Coolidge is on his way to Chicago

represent the beasts of prey who live
of the farmers and will not be back
until Tuesday morning. However, his
presence is not required as the mes.
sage alleged to have been written by
him has been completed for more
than a week and will be read to
joint session of the two houses Of con-
gress. Previous utterances indicate
the character of the message, which
is expected to deal with the world
court, taxation and to contain nothing
for the working class but sophistry
and threats, as is usually the case
with such documents.
Organize House Monday.
This is the first session of the lower
house of the sixty-ninth congress and
the thing will be organized with
Nicholas Longworthd scion of a Gin
cinnati family that made a fortune off
property in the redlight district, and
husband of Alice Roosevelt, as the
speaker. The senate was organized
during a short session last spring.
Nothing of importance will be taken
up until after reading of Coolidge's
message on Tuesday,
The plan of VicePresident Dawes to
shut off debate in the senate will come
up before that body, but will get a
rude jolt as few members of that body
care to be deprived of their right to
talk as long as they can on any
subject in case of ajneed arising for
filibuster.
Dawes is considUed a huge Joke
here, and the senatoy s even of his own
party hold him in Contempt because of
his jackass proclivities. His waning
popularity is evidenced by the attitude
OF the kept press which used to give
him big headlines and now relegates
him small space near the want-ad sec

Philadelphia Workers
Staging a Series of
Plays Against War

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-The Work
ers' Theater Alliance of Philadelphia,
composed of working class artists, is
putting on series of one-act plays
written by John Lassen and Simon
Felshin. The first of the series. Vic
tory, deals with the next war and is
said to be graphic portrayal Of the
new horrors a parasitically controlled
science has in store for the workers in
the next imperialist struggle.
A special appeal is being made to
the delegates to the convention of the
international Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union which is meeting in Lu Lu
temple directly across from the
Eagles temple at Broad and Spring
Garden streets where the plays will
be staged Wednesday evening, Dec. 8,
at Sis sharp.
All the proceeds of the enterprise
go to the class war prisoners, who
are being taken care OF by the Inter-
national Labor Defense. The Work.
ers' Theater Alliance is cooperating
for the occasion with the Philadelphia
branch Of the l. l.. d. The admission
to the performances is so cents.

Borokovich said: II call your atten.
ton to the fact that those who accuse
Marks are not interested in Marks but
in slandering the party to which he
belongs. But they are too weak and
discredited to harm his party-now
or ever"
The opening sentences of Marks
speech gave plenty of proof that he
would not back up an inch. He ex-
planned that he had been fired from
a shop where he had worked for 2
years thru the influence of one of his
prominent accusers. He had also been
charged with not working at the trade,
he said, but Il never sold insurance
to the bosses, or testified against the
workers as an impartial chairman

Then came the remark which brot
the greatest ovation of the conven.
ton:
~ worked for the Freiheit-the
only Jewish labor paper in Amer
ica."
The chairman tried in vain to still
I the shouting an applause but it con.
tinued, rising and falling, for almost
ten minutes.
Marks read the story of his trial
from New York newspaper of 1921,
and read the decision of the Commun.
list Party clearing him of all charges
in connection with the case. The
story, by the way, contained a state
ment by the presiding Judge to the
effect that the socialist party was no
menace to American capitalist gov
eminent. He showed that he had been
elected repeatedly by the membership
of the union to responsible positions
while his accusers had been repu.
dated. He asked only for the sup
port of those delegates who wanted
to fight in the interest of the member
ship instead of officials. He said in
conclusion:
II Felnberg had spoken for me ]
would not be satisfied. If my accuser
of the joint board, now a delegate
from St. Louis, had spoken for me ]
would have asked myself if something
was not wrong with me- l want to be
seated by those who are for unity for
the best interests of the membership
because l am worker and a Com
munist."
He was seated by vote Of lis to
4, machine delegates abstained on the
novel theory that they would take no
responsibility in the matter.

Communist Supported by Left Wing
Marks faced a most difficult situa-
ton in the manner in which the char.
ges had been brought and the inter-
probation placed upon them by the
machine. He must be given credit for
a brilliant speech in his own defense,
in exposing the real motive Of the
charges and it must be said moreover
that he got splendid support from the
whole left wing. Seldom have a group
of progressives built up such a strong
case against the opposition and made
their own principles and motives so
clear.
Antonini was probably the chief suf-
ferer in the debate and with his friend
Ninfo in the chair, neutral to the ex-
tent that he did not care who licked
Antonini the usually debonair Luigi
had a very bad morning. AS John Fitz-
patrick is so fond of saying, ut was
a most unhappy situation"-for all
except the left wing.
Expelled-So He Resigned"
During the course of the debate
Antonini had boosted that he had re-
signed from the Communist Party. It
happened that Zimmerman had been a
member of the District Executive
Committee of the party which had ex-
PEELED Antonini, and after he had in
formed the convention of the fact of
Antonini's expulsion the latter so far
forgot his previous denunciation Of the
party as to spend considerable tins
claiming that he had not been expell-
ed. It appears that even Antonini re-
cognizes that expulsion from a Com
munist Party is no light matter.
1t is hardly necessary to state that
during this interesting incident the
face of Ninfo was adorned with what
passes for smile among the Sicilians.
Zimmerman pointed out that the
left wing did not consider the seating
Of Marks as a favor or a gesture for
unity. He said:
1--WE want unity only on the basis
of principles and struggle, not on
the basis OF seating few delegates.
We want unity in the fight for the
interests of the workers and the
union and on no other basis"
He pointed out that the accusers of
Marks had betrayed the interests of
the workers. Where do you get the
audacity to accuse Marks" he said,
when the membership have already
tried and convicted you?"
Rubin said MARKS lied to a capital
ist judge and that was an honorable
act" quoting a wellknown anarchist
writer to the ex-anarchists who were
among the most bitter of the oppon-
ents. Greatly to the amusement of the
convention, Rubin's speech in Yiddish
was translated by Ninfo.
