So he is going to build a palatial
building to house his grand opera
which he expects to be the best in
the world. And no doubt it WILL since
dlvas will dive for money with az
much enthusiasm as cormorant will
dive for fish. This investment MAJ
also be worth a little TO Sam in the
way of winning back that public"
favor which was considerably out
ragged by his expenditure of funds TO
debauch the electorate in the recent
elections.
THE Chicago Tribune is angry be
l. cause several members of a labor
union were acquitted Of bombing
charges by jury after few mo
ment's reflection. Our esteemed anti
labor contemporary is always het up
when such an accident happens. We
admit that had the defendants been
radicals instead Of followers of old
party politicians things might not
have gone so well with them but
whether or not the capitalist press
escape the pen, unless the frame-up
is so obvious that the masses might
begin to doubt capitalist Justice"
/ DUT frame-ups are in the habit OF
- escaping the attention of the cap
italist press until the masses get
dangerously used-dangerously for
the capitalists. An example of this
kind is the Sacco-Vanzetti case. Here
are two Italian labor leaders who
we're booked for the electric chair
But for the intervention of the work
ing class the worms that figured on
living on Sacco and Vanzetti for q
few years, would now be begging for
their fodder. And not until repeated
attempts on the part OF the ruling
classes of Massachusetts to hang
those workers were thwarted by labor
did a few of the capitalist papers
decide that the exigencies OF their
circulation departments called for a
change of heart.
THE charge made by Joseph Jones,
4 an official Of the Yorkshire Min
ers' Federation, that American Com
munism held back money they had
collected for the relief of the British
miners has been Indignantly repu-
dated by the Workers (Communist)
Party and Jones has been taken sew
erely to task by A. J. Cook, secretary
of the British Miners Federation,
who pointed out to Jones that, while
the reactionary unions affiliated with
the Amsterdam loaned money like
usurers to the starving miners, the
unions of the Soviet Russia. under
Communist leadership contributed
over $5,OO0,OOO in true spirit OF
class solidarity.
Jones bitterness against the Com
q munists can be attributed to HIS
defeat at the hands of A. J. Cook.
for the secretaryship of the fedora
ton. Cook was supported by the
Communists and won because OF that
support. Now, Jones declares that he
will devote all his time to clearing
the Communists out of the coal fields
and ignore the fight against the
operators. Cook advices him that dis
cretion is the better part Of valor
The British miners call Jones atten-
ton to the fact that only the miser
able sum of $4,000 came from the
American Federation of Labor, while
THE Russian trade unions that are
EalIeged to be under the iron rule OF
the Communist Party sent over
$5,000,00O Needless to say the rant
ing of traitors like Jones has little
effect on the miners.
MARRYING American heiresses
AfA has developed into a heavy In.
dustry among the aristocracy OF
Europe, nevertheless 1t was somewhat
of a shock to us to learn that the
illustrious Duke OF Marlborough has
already collected $3,1OO,OOO in return
for marrying Consuelo Vanderbilt,
daughter Of Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont.
formerly Mrs. William Vanderbilt.
Mrs. Belmont admits that she coerced
her daughter into marrying the duke
who is drawing a 100000 a year as
part Of the bargain. Who talked
about the naturalization of women?
