Build the DAILY WORKER!
Theater Is Hit By
$4,000 Judgment for
Denying Negro Rights

Judgment for $4,000 against the
Tivoli Theater company of Chicago
has been won by colored man, Leon
w. Headen, in a case fought to re-
cover for exclusion from the theater
on the ground Of color, and,fo assault
and battery committed in ejecting
him.
Mr.. Headen charged that he pur
chased tickets for a performance a.
the theater and when the tickets were
presented, it was endeavured to make
him and his companion, Miss Lillian
IS. Proctor, sit in another part Of the
house than that to which their tickets
entitled them. Upon their refusing t.
change places, theater attendants, it il
charged, assaulted them, severely beat
ing Mr. Headen.
In the trial two actions, one brought
under the civil rights law, and the
other for assault and battery, were
merged.
This case against the Tivoli theater;
it is believed, will serve notice upon a
number of theaters in Chicago that
they cannot discriminate against col
ored people with impunity. For some
time a considerable number of thea
ters in that city have denied admis-
sion to colored people; have sought
to segregate colored patrons and in
other ways to set up race barriers.

Opium Conference Has
New Crisis Account.
sas's mo Delay Demand

GENEVA Feb. IA new crisis
faced the international opium confer
ence today when the American del
egation took firm stand for a de-
finite period to be set for the eradica-
ton of opium. Congressman Stephen
G. Porter. head OF the American del
egation. demanded that the mixed
commission OF the conference should
set a fifteen year period in which
opium cultivation is to be decreased.
He served notice that period should
be dated now and should not be de.
layed until order has been restored In
China.
viscount Cecil, British representa-
tive, at once took issue with Porter.
Cecil said the British government was
awaiting a promise from the produc-
ing countries that they would gradual
ly reduce production so as TO prevent
smuggling.

clared, IF our proposition is not ac-
copied"

MAGNUS OPENS
FIGHT FOR SEAT
IN U. S. SENATE
Makes Host of Charges
Against Schall
BIZ LAuRENcE Topp,

Federated Press STAFF Correspondents.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.--Sen. Mag
nus Johnson of Minnesota, announces
the filing of his contest against the
seating of Rep. Thomas Schall as his
successor In the upper branch of con-
gress. Schall has the certificate Of
election. his republican votes being
reported at. some 5000 more than the
farmer-labor votes cast for Johnson.
But there are circumstances surround
ing the winning Of those republican
votes by Schall that may upset the
returns when the senate committee on
privileges and elections has canvass
ed them. ''.''
Charges Laws Violated.
First Of all, Johnson alleges that
Schall violated the election laws Of
Minnesota by insinuating that John
son had been bribed to support the
world court plan; also, that Schall
openly and falsely accused Johnson of
having been removed from the direc-
torate Of the cooperative grain ele-
yator concern in st. Paul for steal
ing the farmers money"
Secondly, Johnson charges that
powerful legal aid was promised to
jailed bootleggers, in return for large
payments of money, by men identi-
fed with the financing of Schalrs
campaign, and that these promises,
which were understood as pledges of
immunity, were given at Schalrs
headquarters.
SchaII Is Silent.
Under the laws of Minnesota a libel
uttered or published by a candidate
against his rival, is sufficient ground
for setting aside the election returns.
Rep. Kvale, farmer-labor, was denied
the certificate of republican nomina-
ton over Andrew Volstead, in 1920
because 1t was held that he had ac-
cused volstead of being an atheist.
Johnson will present affidavits that
in many speeches Schall stated that
man had approached him with an Of
fer Of $4,000 in return for his sup
/ port Of the world court proposal, and
that Johnson, who until that time had
opposed the world court, turned
around and favored it.
In one speech, Johnson will allege,
Schall declared in this connection,
that he guessed that johnson was
getting nice little package every
month" An affidavit as to Schalrs
utterances on that occasion will be
furnished by a former lieutenant gov
ernor of the state.

POSTAL WORKERS
TO STRIKE SOON,
SENATOR WARNS
Cannot Live on Their
Present Wages

WASHINGTON Feb. a. Respon-
sibility for the injustices contained in
the pending postal rates and salaries
bill was placed squarely upon the ad.
ministration by senators today, when
they announced during debate that
they would vote for the measure be-
cause there remains no other way OF
getting livingswage for the 100000
postoffice employees. Sen. Norris,
making fight to strike out the reve.
nue. section and Insert provision fol
a joint committee Of congress to study
postal rates and recommend a fair
system of charges was equally frank
in his denunciatioft Of the oppression
and trickery practiced by Postmaster
General New ana president Coolidge
upon these faithful workers for the
nation.
This bill Is simply put forward
here to save the faces of men who
voted to sustain che presidents veto
of the postal salary BILL" said Walsh.
But what is the alternative? Four
years of poverty and suffering and
want on the partof these government
employees; four years of injustice, of
denial Of relief to men who are denied
the right to strike and protest against
their governments action.
Police Strike Justified
"If the postal service were a priv
ate organization who would doubt that
there would now be strike Of these
employees? l saw a strike of city en-
ployes-the policemen Of the city of
Boston. saw men strike and commit
very serious offense by striking, but
who were obliged to strike in order to
awaken public officials to the know
ledge Of their demand and the neces-
sity for an increased wage-for the
unframed and inexperienced men who
took their places were given higher
wages than the men who had been in
the police services for years.
81 am not going to wait until the
postal employees strike, l am going to
place the responsibility Of increased
rates where it belongs, upon the ex-
ecutive department of this govern
ment."
Rents High
Walsh declared that he knew that
a Negro family in the city Of Washing
ton cannot hirei1a tenement for less
than $50 a month"; or $72O year, and
yet the minimum salary for postal
employee is onlyhs1, 400 year. He
thought s72O was1not enough to meet
all the other costs Of living for a
family in the cabital-costs Of food
clothing, schooling, medical care and
other household items.

hs A Shock to the Men. *,
This order came rather suddenly.
Many strikers, when asked by the
DAT1sY worker reporter. before the
meeting about the continuation of the
strike. were strongly for it. They
resented the fact that there was no
vote taken by the men, that they were
not consulted. Many were there who
promised not to go back to the road.
The chairman of System Fedora
ton II, John G. Ready, praised the
men for the wonderful fight they had
put up, but that was all. Not a word
of criticism Of the craft form Of or
ganization that kept many crafts
working, while others were on strike
IT. was even stated that the men
ought to thank the international Off
cials for calling off the strike. ~
What helped take the starch out OF
the men was the recent betrayal on
the part Of Joseph Tone, formerly or.
ganizer Of the Machinists' Union, and
elected state senator who accepted
position with the New York, On.
tario and Western railroad which re
moves him from the working class
fight, and lines him up on thu other
side Of the fence.
"Thru With the Union"
They go back licked. Some are
disguised with the unions. The effect
Of the strike will be to force many
men out of the unions, discouraged
Disguised. The reporter advised
them to stay in the union, and fight
the takers; to defeat the B. and O
plan, and the officials who sponsored
it; to amalgamate their unions.
Amalgamation appealed to them
Unless this issue is raised, there is
little hope for the shopmen. AS t.
the union leaders they acknowledge
no mistakes; 1.-THE present craft
form Of organization is correct
Strike, lose, and go back; but leave
the, union as it is"
And Now the r. r.
The New Haven railroad recently
ANNOUNCED that the strike had cos
them ten million dollars; and thai
they had kept on the job those who
responded to the call to take the
strikers places. They reward TIL,
loyalty Of scabs. 1t is doubted here
that many will be taken back.
