Polish Cabinet Hands
In Resignation While
Economic Crisis Grows
Especial to The Daily wOrksr)

WARSAW, April 22-The Polish
cabinet has resigned. Serious polit-
ical differences have broken out dur.
ing the past few weeks and there had
been sveral threats Of designations
upon the part OF individual members
at various times.
The resignation of the Skryznsh
cabinet is a consequence of the long
continued and deep-seated economic
depression prevailing in Poland. The
bad relations with Germany due to
the refusal to return the so-called
Polish corridor" which cuts Prussia
in two and to other Polish aggressions
has deprived the Poles Of a CONNER
cial and economic relationship profit
able to both countries. Similarly, ag-
gressive Polish nationalism, acting
as the ally for French imperialism,
has made trade intercourse difficult
with the Soviet Union. Industry is
in very bad shape. Unemployed dem
onstrations have been put down by
the police and the military.
Meanwhile the country's resources
have been drained to support huge
army ready for war Police spies are
everywhere and the reaction has been
very strong.
Want a Dictator.
Political conditions reflect the eco
nomic, the Polish fascist groups, in
alliance with the landlords and the
Catholic church, want to establish .
dictatorship like that in Italy. They
lack. however, an outstanding per-
sonalityy to head the movement.
Socialist Party Hated.
The Polish socialist party has out
done itself for reaction. 1t is hated
by the militant workers as much, II
not more, than the bourgeois parties.
The Communist movement is under
ground and bitterly prosecuted. It's
influence on the masses is marked
and growing.

CHARGE CHICAGO
TREASURER RUNS
OUTLAW BREWERY
US. Attorney Hits Local
Democratic Leader

WASHINGTON, April 22.-John A.
Cervenka, treasurer of the city Of Chi
cago and one Of the biggest demo
cratic politicians in the city, was
charged by United States Attorney
Edwin A. Olson Of that city with
being president of the largest outlaw
brewery" in Chicago. His sensational
charge came in the course of his tes-
timony before the senate wet-dry COM
mittee in session here.
Olson drew a picture Of rigid and
efficient enforcement of the prohibi-
ton act by the federal authorities as
contrasted with an almost entire abb
sence Of enforcement by the municipal
officials. He declared that the jury
law had been manipulated in such
way that the juries on liquor cases
had been drawn from panels made up
of "barrel-house habitues" from the
West Madison street district. Fix
ing" Of jurors was common, he as
serted.
Wholesale confscation.
Prior to 1923 there had been no en-
forcement of the law worth mention
ing" he alleged. All this he claimed
had been corrected during his term OF
office. According to his statements,
his Office had "closed for year every
outlaw brewery, rs in number, poured
millions Of gallons of beer into sewers,
destroyed machinery and equipment
running into hundreds of thousands Of
dollars, and put several brewers in
Jail. Two thousand three hundred and
fifty-one permanent injunctions have
been entered in the northern district
of Illinois, closing that number Of
outlaw liquor places for one year.. The
value Of the real estate involved ex-
ceeds $36,OOO,O0O.
