VIRGIN ISLAND BILL
HIT BY DELEGATE
Commission Head Sees
Measure Designed to Get
Governor Out of Hole.

The bill of Representative Bacon,
Republican. Of New York which he
announced yesterday as a measure
that would grant citizenship to the
natives Of the Virgin Islands was to-
day characterized by II. Berg, head
of the Virgin Islands delegation In
Washington. as "a move to get the
governor of the islands Out of hole" :"
The bill, as printed. would give citi-
zenship to any citizen who had resided
in the islands since January II, 1917,
and had not subsequently, declared al
legance to the Danish government, or.
having done so, had later renounced
it before a court of record.
1t also would qualify for citizenship
all natives who had served in the
United States Army or Navy.
These provisions, according to Mr..
Eerg, would have the effect only of
granting citizenship to two aliens ap-
pointed TO the st. CroiX Colonial Coun-
ell by the colonial governor. and who
have since then been refused seats by
the elected members of that body. One
Of these is 4. T.. Stakeman, a Danish
citizen, who only made an effort to
renounce his foreign allegiance as
soon as he was given a job by the
Government" The other is a British
subject who has seen service in the
United States Navy.
All native islanders who would be
qualified for citizenship under the
provisions OF Representative Bacon's s
bill. Mr.. Berg declared, have already
been granted American citizenship by
the United States District Court for
Porto Rico, and that. in effect. the bill
would only qualify for citizenship
two alien appointees Of the governor" ;"

Segregate Negroes
Who Come to Hear
One of Their Race
BY ELLEN ZETlON.
worker Correspondent

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. 22-Two
incidents occurred in Baltimore in
one day which showed up the Jim
Crow character of this city.
The Negro public of Baltimore
swarmed the theater to hear Roland
Hayes, the noted Negro tenor. They
we're greeted with segregation. The
left side of the theater was set aside
for the Negroes, the right side for
the whites.
When the tenor heard OF this in
suit to his people he refused to sing,
but after conference with the man
ager who stated che meant no wrong"
and that there was no animosity dis
played, the tenor sang.
The second scene was enacted by
Judge Robert F. Stanton in circuit
court No. 2, when he issued an in
junction forbidding Negroes to occupy
the building at HOO w. Franklin st.
Neighbors, white, brot suit against a
property owner who had rented his
home to a Negro family. The Negro
family will now be compelled to va
cate.
viii the colored race allow such Sc
gregation to exist undisturbed, or will
they voice a protest? This segrega-
ton will exist in this country as long
as the Negro race permit themselves
to be Jim Crowed by capitalist justice.
The only way this will be eliminated
is by joining the militant Negro work
ers. Join in the ranks Of those who
refuse to be Jim Crowed. Help in the
organization of the American Negro
Labor Congress.

Bourgeois Woman Judge
Says Religion Will End
Capitalist Atrocities
BY a Worker Correspondent.

NEW YORK CITY, Jan 22.-Judge
Jean Norris, the only woman judge
in New York City, spoke on "Our
criminal courts-their development Of
court care and practise where women
are concerned" at a meeting of the
Women's Trade Union League. Judge
Norris is a typical bourgeois judge,
self confident and naughty and dis
playing the same lack of understand
ing OF the social problems of today
as the male members of the courts.
She explained that she, like the other
judges, work on a circuit procedure,
moving from the family to the juve.
nile departments, and on to the other
courts each week, she being attached
to the woman's court, in which she is
particularly interested.
Curse of Capitalism.
The hayward minors department
of the court, dealing with girls be-
tween the ages of Is and 81 reveals
the horrible path travelled by the
daughters of the working class, espe-
cially that part of the working class
where pitifully low wages do not per-
NIT of decent homes with privacy for
each member of the family and from
which uneducated, unframed girls are
forced at an early age to start for the
labor market and work always for low
wages. All girls brought into this
court are examined for venereal in
lection; SO per cent of them are
found to be suffering from syphilis or
gonorrhea-some months the number
running up to IS per cent. All these
girls are compelled to receive treat
ment at some city hospital, after
which, unless they are taken home
by parents or husbands, they are
placed on probation when they must
live and work under the strict surveil-
lance of the court.
In answer to many questions, Judge
Norris stated that economic condi-
tions, low wages, etc., had very little
if any effect on morals ClegaD. She
claimed that Installing in the young
girls the proper respect for the church,
and compelling them to attend reli-
gious services was the remedy for the
situation.
Judge Blind to Facts.
All efforts to obtain from the judge
the wage scales, education and exact
social strata of these hayward girls
was met with naughty rebuff and the
blanket statement that these things
had nothing to do with sex morality
