More Truth Than Poetry
Ry JAMES j. MONTAGUE
LEON TRoTzKY ANNOUNCING

LEON TROTZFNY ANNOUNCING
mo peace can abide in the world,
cries the Red
In voice that is loud with alarm
More wars will be fought and more
blood will be shed,
Till the nations agree to disarm
While the powers still cling to the
rifle and sword,
Meeting might with superior might
What kind of chance does the
future afford
For the triumph of virtue and
right?
We ought to dispense with all meas
ures Of force
Excepting in Soviet Russia, OF
course.
'send messengers travelling over the
To visit each alien land
And talk till the sovereign peoples
agree
That their fighting men ought to
disband.
Let them speak from the rostrum
the stump and the stageu
Let them beg and beseech and
implore
That the citizens rise in a frenzy of
rage
And destroy all their engines OF
war.
And We'll meanwhile conscript every
moujik in sight,
Put gun on his shoulder and teach
him to fight.
Our work in the world is to let
nations know
That freedom can never prevail,
That the fire of pure liberty never
will glow
Till Mars sheds his glittering mail.
Let drills be abandoned, let solder
ing cease
Scrap the navies of all the great
powers,
We will carry the wonderful gospel
of peace
Into every nation save ours.
And then, with our bright glory
banner unfurled,
We can send out our ramies and
lick the whole world!"

STREET WORKERS
union HEAD WAS
CREMALDPS PAL
Carrozzo Aided Gritty"
Bootlegger Many Times

Mike Carozzo, president of the
Street Sweepers' Union and intimate
crony of big Tim" Murphy, was ques-
toned by Chicago police as to the
movements of his pal, Frank Grenada,
on the night that the latter was shot
by rival bootleggers.
Frank Grenada, who furnished Gold
Coast residents with Canadian booze,
was found in Leyden township with a
silk bandage over his eyes and with
three shots in the head and one in the
hip. Grenada was one of the Capone-
Torrio gang lieutenants and was their
political chieftain in the 22nd street
and Wabash avenue district.
Grenada was tried in Detroit for
murder, but as he succeeded in
marrying the star witness for the state
the case against him was dropped.
He then came to Chicago and lined
up with the Capone-Torrio booze ring.
He also became intimately connected
with Mike Carozzo of the Street
Sweepers' Union. At one time when
he was arrested for bootlegging he
asked the police sergeant for the privi-
lege of calling up Mike Carrozzo on
long distance to have things fixed
for him. Carrozzo is one of the old
party henchmen.

MOSCOW, u. S. S. R. (Tass), May
24,-The Amundsen flight to the North
Pole aroused great interest in scien-
tific circles here and all of the scien-
tifc institutions in Leningrad gave
the expedition every possible assist
ance. The Geophysical Observatory
adapted its apparatus to meet the re-
quirements of the expedition. The
Polar committee of the Academy of
Science drew up report of the state
of the ice and the atmospheric condi-
tions at the Pole. The Institute for
the Study of the Northern Regions
drew up a chart of the Polar zone.
When Amundsen's dirigible left the
sphere Of the Russian radio stations
the results of the meteorological and
geophysical observations made in
Leningrad were conveyed to Amund-
sen thru the Norwegian radio stations.
