Paint Name of City
on Roofs to Guide
Commercial Aviators

DETROIT, Mich, March - Edsel
B. Ford, president of the Ford Motor
company, has instructed authorized
Ford dealers thruout the United States
to paint on the roofs of their place Of
business the name of their city as
guideposts for airplane pilots.
AS there are Ford dealers in over
10000 cities and villages all over the
country this step will be Of great as
sistance to commercial aviations.
The letters are to be printed in
white of a size to be easily distin-
guished from the ordinary flying
height. The name Of the city is to
extend due east and west with the tops
of the letters towards the north with
an arrow pointing due north at the
end Of the word. In this manner the
signs will act as budapest and com
pass for the aviators.

LIVERPOOL, March 3-While the

Vera, Countess of Cathcart, Mrs. Sell
ina Chippendale, a widow of 81, was
being quietly deported from Boston on
charges Of moral turpitude and no one

immigration station in particular.
Nationwide attention has been at

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
FEARS INVESTIGATION
INTO CHICAGO POLITICS

WASHINGTON, March 3-There
is very little likelihood the senate
will undertake an Investigation OF
vice conditions in Chicago, as de-
manded by the better government
association of that city in a petit
ton.
Officially, the petition will be con-
sidered by the senate committee on
immigration Wednesday, but actual
ly, according to committee MEM
bers, there is little change Of its be-
ing favorably acted upon.
TWO excuses were cited today for
the senate's reluctance to under
take an investigation Of this sort,
one, the feeling that local politics
figure in the demand Of the probe,
to set a precedent in the matter
and, two, the senate does not desire
to set a precedent In the matter
that might encourage political fac
tlons in other cities to ask congress
to investigate local conditions and
thus expose many now in the sen.

strike pickets and thrown into jail

struck for better conditions.
Senator Deneen is no better than
Grove. Both of them are servants of
the bosses and both of them do their
best to serve their masters. Both
employ gunner to stuff ballot boxes
and steal elections and for their
egood' work on election day these cri-
minals are allowed to roam the streets
of Chicago and sell their bootleg
booze and kill their competitors with
immunity.
AS far as vice conditions are con-
cerned, they are just as bad as they
ever were. A trip thru many parts
of the city will reveal red light dis
tricts openly flourishing under the
protection of the police with each
brothel paying it's protection" to the

twenty gambling dens openly doing

L.ABOR'S ENEMIES

Chicago Unions Ignored

BY CARL HAESSLER,

The Cook county judicial and adj
ministrative campaigns for which pri-
maries are to be held April 10 are
again bringing to light the secret afi-
liations of labors political foes in the
Chicago district The republican ma
chine is split in two and members Of
each part are charging and counter
charging that the other is tied up
with the extensive criminal and boot
Logging gangs that run the city.
States Attorney R. E. Grove, who
has tried time and again to break
strikes by using his special strong
arm squad on girl and men pickets
and who has tried to terrorize union
business agents and even an interna-
tional president (Britton Of the Metal
Polishers) into calling off strikes by
use of the third degree, is the princi-
pal goat in the expose. His ''well-
known relations with gangland" will
be proved to the hilt, according to
Supt. Elmer ]. Davis, of the Better
Government Association, and anti
labor outfit that happens to be oppos-
ed to Grove.
Another gentleman charged with be-
ing a gangster buddy is Alexander
Fyfe, former president Of the Hamil-
ton club. The Hamilton club is the
simon-pure republican club in Chica-
go. It's sterling patriotism and anti
labor attitude is attested by its tar
get practice gallery where members
are urged to learn to shoot straight

the reds or in other emergencies.

TAXLAW PLACES
BURDEN OF WAR
DEBT ON LABOR
Rich Dodge Paying for
Foreign Conquests
Especial to The Daily worker)

WASHINGTON, March 3 - Senator
Howell Of Nebraska told the senate,
while resisting adoption of the confer
ence report on the Mellon tax bill, that
the measure is a bill to enable multi
millionaires to dodge their share Of
the cost of the world war. He declar-
ed 1t passes the burdens along to the
poor, to be paid ultimately by indirect
and sales taxes.
Big Incomes Favored.
He showed that the bill cuts
$3.50 900, 900 from the taxes of 5000
rich Americans, while it cuts only
1852 SOC, 900 from the taxes of all the
remaining 4,0S5,O0O taxpayers. The
The 5000 aristocrats Of tax-dodging
whom this bill favors are people hav-
ing incomes of 100000 or more.
1.-THE great war is not over" said
Howell There are two chief fac
tors in war-man power and wealth.
It is the duty of those composing the
first factor to lay down, if necessary,
their lives on the battlefield. The
duty of the second factor, wealth, is
to pay the bills !.
Workers Pay War Debts.
This measure clearly indicates 9
policy to transfer this tremendous wal
liability to the shoulders of the masse:
Of the people / believe the
United States should rapidly amortizt
its war liabilities. In justice to tbs
nation we should not relieve wealth
from its present contribution toward
the cost of the war, saddling such bur
den upon generations to come"
The Nebraska senator showed tina
the annual burden of interest on thu
war debt which American taxpayer
must meet, on the basis of the for
eign debt settlements already signeS
by Mellon, will be, for these foreigl
cancellations, $106,OOO,0OO The tota

intention of Mrs. Lincoln to donate
them to the Government. 1t Is not
vet known whether the chain to the
watch, long the object of negotiations
between the son and a Chicago relic
collector, is attached to the time
piece.
The agreement as to the papers at
lated in 1919. when the collection,
comprising the manuscripts and let.
ters used by Nicolay and Hay in writ
ing their biography of Lincoln. was
turned over to the library for safe
keeping, at the suggestion of Herbert
Putnam. librarian.
Mr.. Lincoln at that time stipulated
that the trunks should not be opened
and their contents made available to
the public for a period of 90 years
from 1919. Mr.. Lincoln pointed out
that all the papers had been thorough
~ examined by Nicolay and Hay, and
that everything of historic interest
had been CLEANED from them and were
already public. He felt. 1t Is said. that
irresponsible writer's might make cap
ltal of the papers and commercialize
his fathers private correspondence
and memora nda. Twenty years hence,
he believed, the documents would have
lost this commercial appeal.
More recently however, the son is
said to have indicated his Willingness
TO leave the mater to the judgment
Of his surviving relatives. The family,

the advisability of finding a way to
modify the technical agreement so as
to shorten the period for the papers
