Your Health in 1926
Use the helps offered by medical
science to prevent disease. You need
never fear typhoid. incubation will pre-
vent it. Your children need never have
diphtheria. Toxin-antitoxin treatments
will safeguard them. Smallpox will not
touch your family if all are vaccinated
when necessary. One by one, dread
diseases are being conquered. In ten years
the tuberculosis death rate has been re-
duced more than one-half. Five years
ago the diphtheria death rate alone was
higher than that today for diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough combined

McAdoo VIII Again
Try for Nomination
Meredith Predicts

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-William G.
McAdoo, who was defeated for the
democratic presidential nomination in
1924, will be the standard-bearer of
the democrats in 1928, Edwin T. Mere
dith, secretary OF agriculture under
Wilson, predicted in an interview
here.
Meredith declared the progressive
democrats of the west and south will
rally behind McAdoo. They will die
tate a dry platform, on which Al
Smith could not consistently rum"
McAdoo's strength in 1928 will be
about the same as in 1924 Meredith
admitted. When asked if that wouldn't
result in a deadlock again, he said
he hoped not.
The convention won't be held in
New York-stronghold Of Smith. OF
that Meredith was confident He said
it will be held in the west.

moving picket line OF twelve. The

Queen Marie Missed
Hot Time in Cleveland
BY CARL HACKER.
Worker Corresnondan4N

Local Cleveland, international La.
Dor Defense, held a protest meeting
IN the West Side Turn Hall recently
protesting against the proposed visit
of the queen Of Roumania to this citv
Even tho the tour of the queen had
been abruptly terminated and the an.
nouncement made that she would not
visit this city, large number OF
workers turned out to the meeting 10
voice their protest against the man
ner In which the queen has been re-
ceived by the financial interests since
her arrival In this country.
Cooperating with the 1. L. d. were
such organizations as the United Hun
garian Societies, the Russian Work
ers' Club, the Rounanian Workers
Club, the Workers Communist
Party and others, all denouncing the
bloody rule Of the queen in her land
Quite contrary to the reports that
the king may have been i'll, the idea
was expressed by all speakers that
the real reason for the queen making
such a hasty exit from the country
was the storm of protest which was
raised in various parts of the land.
Beginning in Chicago, the queen
was met with a demonstration ar
ranged by the l. L. D., which she will
no doubt remember for a long time to
come. She would have been greeted
in similar fashion in Detroit, and
in Cleveland she could have expected
about the greatest demonstration OF
any on her entire tour. Proof of this
lies in the fact that for days the pa
pers Of this city had been appearing
with headlines such as 1000 Guards
to Protect Queen, 1913 Red Rioters
Organized to Meet Queen" "Hunga-
rians Indignant Over Queens Visit"
Under these headings the newspa-
pers told of mass meetings which were
being held in various parts of the city
almost nightly, in which the workers
were told about the atrocious manner
in which the government of far-aWay
Roumania is treating the workers.
We regret very much. that the queen
did not come to this city, as we were
prepared to greet her.

CARPENTERS VOTE STRIKE
ASSESSMENT FOR n. Y. IN
SPITE OF HARRY JENSEN |
ey a Worker correspondent.

At its regular meeting last Mon
day night, Carpenters Local No.
1871, with membership Of about
1000 assessed each member 30
cents Apiece to aid the striking
cloakmakers in New York City in
accordance with a recommendation
made by the Chicago Federation Of
Labor.
At the same time, the members
OF the local refused to raise the
salary of their business agent from
SIS to $3.50. It Is significant that
a prominent member of this local
is Harry Jensen, president of the
Chicago Carpenters District coun-
Gil. Jensen and his supporters
fought hard against the assessment
for the New York strikers and
fought just as hard to raise the SAL
airy Of the union official. Jensen
was beaten by two TO one vote on
both propositions.

Case of Lefkowitz,
Radical Teacher, Is
Still Booted Around

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The appeal
of the Teachers Union to the board
of education on behalf of Abraham
LefkoWitz, who was refused promotion
because of alleged radical opinions.
has been turned down. The board
holds that It is without authority in
the matter, as the board of superin-
tendents were empowered by law to
take the action they did. The board
of education suggests that Lefkowitz,
if he still feels aggrieved, should make
his appeal to the state commissioner
Of education.
What further action the Teachers
Union will take in the matter has not
yet been announced. The case is one
which has excited the attention Of
radicals and liberals thruout the coun-
try, as involving a teachers right
to opinion and freedom of speech.

indian MASSES
PROTEST STATUS
UNDER new PLAN
Empire Equality" Does
Not. Include Them

LONDON, Nov. 26.--Advices from
Calcutta say that Indian national
opinion has been deeply stirred by
the announcement Of the new Colonial
Charter giving equal status to the
seven dominions and entirely ignor-
ing the question of Indian indepen-
dence India will continue to be rul-
led from the India Office in London
India Not Represented.
The protest, in fact, was begun be-
fore the imperial conference met. The
Indian nationalists were resentful at
the beginning that India was "repre-
scented" only by Lord Birkenhead,
Secretary of State for India and the
Mahara1a of Burdwar, rich land
owner entirely under British infiu-
ence and without any power in In
dian affairs.
Indian residents in London are pre-
pairing protest meeting and say that
a nationwide protest is in prepare
ton in their home country.
Ulster Protests.
Another complication has arisen
with regard to the Ulster government
in Northern Ireland. The new char
ter recommends to commons the
changing Of the kings title to in
clude, King Of Ireland, thus ignoring
the separate existence Of the Ulster
government. Sir James Craig, prime
minister of Northern Ireland is rush
ing to London with several other
state officials to register a protest
and fight the passage Of the titles
bill in parliament.
They are reported to claim that
the conference, in making the change
ienvisaged the union of the Irish
Free State and Ulster at some future
slime. They also limited that possible
pressure might be used to force VI
ster to join the Free State which
shared IN the concessions made by
Britain to the colonies at the impe-
rial conference.

COUNCIL
F 0 r FOREIGN
BORN TO MEET
VIII Outline Campaign
Against Alien Laws

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 26.-The west.
ern Pennsylvania Council for the Pro.
lection of Foreign Born will hold a
very important, conference on Sun.
day, Dec. -, at p. m. at Walton
Hall, 220 Stanwix street, Pittsburgh.
This conference is being called to
renew and enlarge the movement
against the vicious bills to gag for
eign-born workers. At the last SEES
sion Of congress the forces behind
these czarist bills were not successful
in their attempt to rush them thru on
the quiet.
Council Successful.
1t was largely due to the efforts Of
the National Council for the Protec-
ton of Foreign Born, to which the
western Pennsylvania council is af-
filiated and which is one of its most
important sections, that a storm of
protest was raised thruout the coun-
try which resulted in these bills not
being pushed at the last session of
congress.
Danger Still Exists.
This year, however, there is grave
danger that these bills will be passed
unless the movement against them is
renewed with ever greater vigor. The
passage of these bills will mean a
great blow not only to the foreign
born workers but to the whole work
ing class movement and to organized
labor.
ALI organizations which have affll-
lated with the council are urged to
see that their delegates attend this
conference. A call was also sent out
to all local labor and fraternal organi-
cations that are not yet affiliated in
viting them to send delegates. 1t is
urged that this call be acted upon IA
vorably and delegates be sent.

Worker correspondent)

On Eighth Street, in Passaic, street
of many struggles, there stand side
by side two textile mills. There are
other factories on this street, here
where it crosses the river, but these
two great wooden mills dominate.
Stretching for blocks, reaching back
ward as far as the eyes can see, their
huge red brick walls loom above the
street.
For ten months these towering
walls have looked down upon the bat
ties Of their workers who were on
strike. Mass picket lines singing and
cheering; picket lines of twelve
tramping steadfastly and silent; fur
ious onslaughts of police, broken
heads of workers, screams Of women
and terror of children, these things
the walls have seen for ten months as
the textile strikers fought for free
dom. Now at last there has come
change.
Life Stirs Now.
The Passaic Worsted Spinning mill
has settled its strike. Now from be-
hind it's once silent walls comes an
unwonted stir Of life. The clicking of
wheels, the steady whir of machinery
is heard where shortly before there
was desolation. Machinery unused
for ten months, clogged with rust
with rats, with cobwebs and dust, is
being brought to life again.
Union Recognized.
The workers are back with their
union recognized. They are cleaning
the machinery and setting to work.
And as one department after another
gets into working order, the boss calls
up the union office and asks for the
number of workers he needs. Yes,
the workers have fought their bitter
struggle to the end they desired: the
union is recognized. And the whirring
now. booms forth
message to the rest of
the city: Keep 1t up, fellow workers.
Keep II up! Fight on, fellow workers!
Fight on! You will win! You will
win!"
The Gera Mills.
Farther on, lies the Gera Mills.
Here the strike is not yet ended. Here
there is silence. A bare three hundred
of the full twelve hundred workers
are inside. A few bosses cars parked
around, an empty truck, perhaps a
cop coming out OF the Office, wiping
his lips as though from a swig Of
comforting booze, are the only signs
of life.
