The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-04-02
BY TOM BELL.


The series of articles which have
been printed on this page during the
past three weeks stressed the neces-
sity of the party membership joining
the trade unions they are eligible to
join, aiding in the organization of par
ty fractions and the building of a
mass left wing movement in the trade
unions. This is in line with the de-
cision of the central executive COM
mittee to conduct vigorous campaign
in the party to increase our forces in
the trade unions.
All party members who have read
these articles will have gotten an out
line of what is expected of all mem
bers in this matter. Briefly the fol-
lowing points were stressed in the ar
ticles:
Into the Unions.
1. The great tasks confronting the
party in the trade unions to win the
organized workers for our party and
the struggle for the workers and
farmers government makes impera-
tive that all party members become
members and actively participate in
the trade unions.
2. The Communist international
and the Red International of Labor
Unions have repeatedly insisted upon
every member of the party becoming
a member of union if at all possible.
In line with this, it is imperative that
all members do so. elm an industrial
country like the United States it is
impossible to be a good Communist
unless at the same time you are a
member of labor union"
3. The objective of our participa-
ton in the trade unions is to win
the organized workers for our revolu-
tionary program.

I1RENEN HANDLE PALACE
 BIaAZE WE'LL

Anyone having an opportunity Of witnessing the work Of the Nc" Britain fire department at the blaze in the Palace thnatcr yestcr- day will not hesitate 10 give the smoke-catcrs of the city q verbal pat on the back for their handling of very difficult situation and a fire which had great possibilities beyond the destruction of the building which housed it. The de- partmnnt not only checked the connagrution in q part of the Pal ace building but did it very quick iy despite the thick smoke and the fact that the fire center was at a considerable distance beyond the reach of hoses handled from the outside.
 The fire started at a point above the moving picture operators booth in an attic that opens up into the peaked roof, It burned in thc forward end of the building at a high point, The wind was from the north and, should the blaze have once escaped the building. others 10 the south would undoubtedly have quickly caught. The Palace is of old, wooden construction, which quickly fed the flames.
 The blaze was attacked from several angles at the same time. Forcing their way through sido entrance toward the rear. q group of firemcn laid down barrago Of water, thus keeping the flames from the front, squirting their hoses from aerial ladders into win dows onto the blaze itself and keeping it confined to the front. A lin roof was of considerable as sistance in restraining the blaze from breaking out. and a squad Of men worked with hoses through holes in this roof at considerable risk 10 themselves as 1t was thought that the roof might cave At any [ time, by the layman on the street at any rate.
 Naturally. with the many streams Of water pouring into inc building l the main flour furnishings of the thcater were ruined, though hcS were untouched by fire.
 Mastcrful work hommed in th' blaze and active work kept it con,
 fined. The loss was large, neces' sarily but had there been a slip tr
 the making or the executing oi
 plans to surround the blaze anl
 keep if surrounded. the loss would
 have been much greater and mol

\ MILLION IS ENOUGH, THINKS MIR. DONOVAN

Occasionally one finds that there exists in this country a man who knows whom he has enough money. Such q case cume up recently when J. $. Donovan. aged 46, announced that he had made million dollars, SC, as his ambition several years pro, iously, and that he was going to retire and enjoy it. The miracle is not so much in the fact that he made a million, but that he is ready 10 go oul and spend it after collecting il.
 Usually 'he man worth a million becomes worth much more. Ky tho time he has so organized his habi's that he has successfully laid aside more money than most of us have, he has become an individual who lives but for one purpose. to col

that would count in this country would be the cntrol of prices -~ and of course. that means to com trol thcm upward, The goyern- ment, naturally, Is supposed 10 do tho controlling,
 To such a program tho govern- ment Is opposed, The government says it ought not to be expected 10 control prices for any industry, The farmers violently disagree and point to the fact that the tariff on manufactured articles has as its prime object the control Of prices and they further Insist that if the principle holds good for manufac- lures 1t also ought to hold good for farmers products.
 Tho agricultural plan 10 control prices of farm products would en- tail the governments forming an export corporation which would buy surplus farm products and dls- pose them abroad at any price oh- tainahle, but keeping tho domestic price ID to the standard desired by the farmers The government In such q case would be doing exactly what tho manufacturers usually do --sel their surplus in the foreign markets at prices lower than in the United States But the difference would be that in the case of the manufacturers, they do this them selves; while in the case Of the farmers the government would have q hand in doing it. The prin- ciple may be somewhat similar, but , the method Of execution on the one hand is done through private means. on the other 1t would be q government function,

THE SKATING POND
 \ SUCCESS

The skating pond on the North End park has proven an immense success, if patronage may be taken as a criterion, during the days in which it has been possible to skate at all because Of weather cond- tions. II has bocn crowded with people enjoying the bracing sport of winter days, and it Is an eXpanso of ice Of no mean area. Many citi- zens and their offspring have taken advantage of the opportunity to skate upon every cold day and into the evenings.
 It Is to be regretted that the swimming pool in Willow Brook park does not give an opportunity to skate as well as the pond in Stanley Quarter. tnquestionably the sport would be dangerous on the pool. Springs create weak spots in the ice and the flow of the brook into the pool would also make q danger point IL goes with out question that tho Superintcn- dent of the park system, Ralph Wainright. would allow skating on the swimmipg-po pool if he could. as he has consistently shown a great sympathy for all seekers after out door exercise, winter and summer
 It seems as though plans could he worked out 10 flood an area on the park south 10 no great depth so that skating might be provided there another year. Possibly the swimming pool brook, or outlet could be diverted into some low spot where it would furnish a shal- low pond. Tho pool itself is too small that it would not accommo- date the skaters who wished to use 1t, even if it were safe.
 This is only suggestion, how ever, we are aware that the Mayor and the park commissioners arc aware of the pleasure that Is had from the pond now iu existence and they are probably already con sidering ways and means of cre2t- ing one on Willow Brook.

THE WESTERN SURGE AGAINST THE TARIFF

When President Coolidge recent ly made a trip 10 Chicago to talk to the American Farm Bureau con- gross his ostensible object was to give tho western farmers the ad- ministration's idea about the tariff, seeing that there has been consid- erable opposition manifested in the west regarding the protective duties that the western farmers claim was not either protecting or bcnedting them.
 The Farm Bureau congress lis tened 10 the Presidents detailed description Of how the tariff works. but did so iu silence. When he was through and had returned 10 Washington they elected the chief opponent to the tariff in their ranks as their president,
 From this it could be judged that the farmers are still not satisfied; and now tho agitation for real re- vision" of the tariff has reached Congress, presenting q more haros- sing opposition 10 the administra' tion than inc insurgent bloc of ycstcrycar. For virtually all Of the Republican r.prcsontatiycs and senators from the west are lined SD with the farmers idoas upon this subject. doubtless thinking 1t political suiciIc 10 do otherwise.
 What the farmers claim is easy 10 understand. Their contention is that the tariff is helping tho east but is not helping 'hc farmers, Senator Curtis. Republican whip, has replied that thc tariT on farm products is "xnctl. whH thc farm organizations wanted it 10 bo; in other v vords. they have as much protection" as they desired Bu' tho farmers oC today do not deny this self-evident fact; what they have concluded about the tariff i, that the protection it gives them does not project because the i'm por1ation of farm products is com parativcly small and las l.ut bearing upon tarm prices Docause the price Of grain depends upor the price at Liverpool - in other words, inc world market control: 1t.

JtTT OPERA FOR
\ JAZZ AGI,

Onc of tho latest innorntions in the history of the musical stage has been introduced in Chicago where n "Ja12 opera" has been pro duced with considerable success, SO we arc told. Grand opera trim mings arc used in the production, IL Is staged with tho settings GUS tomary 10 the heavy and magnin- cent operas with which we arc familiar hut the music Is taxed throughout, The audience, not q few highbrow critics and members of the intelligentsia. but the whole audience was stirred to cXtrava- gant expressions of approval of the piece. Which. unfortunately per. haps. shows that jazz is here 10 stay, is appreciated and demanded by most people.
 symphony orchnstras, high opera companies and various classical or ganizations, exist 10 supply good music, or the music that the in- telligcntsia styles good. None of them are self-sustaining to the best of our knowledge. and all Of them are practically subsidized II not mmcliately SO. Indications are that the jazz opera Is going to be a success without the need of or ganizing a group of supporters 10 back possible failure.
 Most of us quite envy the few peo- pie we know who We feel really and truly appreciate the masters, It indicates, in the first place, that the individual has had the leisure in life 10 build up. through study, an appreciation of the pondcrous i Wagner, for instance. or 1t shows that the one who appreciates if born to that appreciation. which ! happens very seldom. Of course 1 there is more than one who has the batter of music at his tongues end and can readily impress ar i ignorant nearer with his knowledge of music, without having any req appreciation. This person is an ait in carrying on the cause, he Is { contributor to funds destined tt support classical music organiza- ton but that is about all. He is [ 1 highbrow in the strict sense of the i slangy term. because he thinks il is the thing 10 be.
 And the highbrow will dcplorc the jazz opera the most. He will rail at it for being a sacrilege, z libel on the old writers Of music And he will not support 1t, decided ly not, nor will he come within hearing of its profano strains.
 Just the same the opera is sue cessful, 1t is gaining appreciativ' audiences who pay the admission fee because they like the show anu it will probably allow its produce to live in q manner far more cost
 ly, if not as aesthetic, than tn composers of old. It may, wh' knows, mark the development o an entirely new style of music
 typically American and far ahea'
 of the ordinary tin-pan piano jag
 of today. Oh yes, we will admi that jazz is strident, raw and oitel
 irritating, but it is popular. And "
 have 10 confess that We canno
 make ourselves appreciate tn other kind of music as it seems {
 be appreciated in some quarters.
