Community Tree
Was Great Success

The Community Christmas Tree
program at the Maine street garage
Friday evening was tremendous
success. Presents We're distributed TO
over 1890 children under u years Of
age in Madison and Arson. The eX-
ercises commenced at ga o'clock
with several selections by the Mad
ison Boys Band. The children We're
formed in long lines and marched TO
the center of Main street where sew
eral carols were given by the pupils
of the Junior High school. About
this time Santa Claus with his three
brothers appeared in a long sled load
ed with presents and the children
again marched around to the tree
where each received one or more
presents Main street was roped off
at the corner of Madison street and
at Maple stree and a large force of
local consta bles were on hand to keep
things moving in an orderly manner.
The Christmas tree itself was ~
feet tall and was q thing of beauty
with colored lights from top to bot
tom and over the top was a large
illuminated star.
During the day committees We're
busy distributing presents to chill.
dren who We're i'll or unable TO come
and numerous packages We're sent
out on the r. f. d. routes and by
special messengers to the rural dis
tricts. Much credit is due to chair
man John White aud the various
committees for the success of the oc-
casiOn.

LONG STUDY OF
MARS DISCOUNTS
THEORY OF LIFE
Scientists Convention Told
Conditions Are Not
Suitable.

BIZ UnlteG PreSS
PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 17-Con-
ditions on the planet Mars are such
as to make it reasonable to suppose
that life such as we know it could
exist on Mars, declared DR.. e. G.
Slipher and DR.. G. o. Lampland of
the Lowell observatory at Flagstaff,
Ariz., in papers presented before
the convention of the Southwestern
Section of the American Association
for the Advancement Of Science.
The papers represented the latest
work done at Flagstaff observatory,
founded in 1894. The planet Mars
has been studied by this observatory
continuously since the institution
was established.
Many astronomers, notably those
at the Mount Wilson observatory at
Pasadena, Cal, do not think Mars
has conditions that would support
life.
The Flagstaff astronomers, how
ever, give the following reasons for
their position.
/. There is evidence that Mars has
an atmosphere and that it contains
both oxygen and water vapor.
2. Clouds and mists are observed
in the Marian atmosphere.
3. The polar caps on Mars, which
are white, behave just as they
would IL they were formed of ice
and snow, growing smaller as the
Martian summer advances and
growing larger again as winter
comes on.
4. Observation of the planets
surface, both by visual and photo
graphic means, show that fine net
work structure, the so-called canals.
It was DIR. Lowells theory that
these were strips of vegetation along
the water ways.
5. While Mars Is further from the
sun than the earth and therefore
receives less light and heat from
the sun, it holds on to more of what
1t does receive than does the earth.

Response in Buffalo
81 c. /, Worker correspOndent.

BUFFALO, Feb. "a. - Lovett Fort
Whiteman, well-known Negro labor
organizer. spoke at two meetings in
the Labor Lyceum here. Whiteman's
meetings attracted quite a number Of
interested Negro workers, who listen
ed eagerly to his able analysis of the
problems which face the colored work
ers in this country, and in the whole
world. A Negro member of the Brick
layers Union, B. Taylor, acted as
chairman.
Whiteman pointed out that the only
manner in which the Negro workers
can hope to better their conditions is
by exerting their organized strength
as workers, together with organized
labor of all races. He showed that
racial hatred is an instrument used
by the bosses to divide the strength
Of the working class and make their
common exploitation easier. "The col
onial wars in Morocco and Syria, and
the looting of the Chinese working
class show us that the colored work

mendous forces of colored workers
and become an aid in freeing the
whole working class.
Fort-Whiteman urged that the work
ers present join the American Negro
Labor congress to fight against jim
crowism, discrimination. and OBJ
stacles to Negroes wishing to join
trade unions
A sizeable group OF the American
Negro Labor congress was formed In
Buffalo. The prospects are that many
more Negro workers will soon join
this organization.

Coolidge Sends Hoover
TO Chicago March 9
Especial to The Daily W0rkerl


WASHINGTON, Feb. "a - Senator
iaI Courtesy" appeared strained to
the breaking point here today as
result Of the speeches made in Illinois
in the last few days by Senator 5orah,
republican of Idaho, and Senator Reed,
democrat Of Missouri, attacking the
world court.
Senator VIM. B. Mckinley, who
voted for the court, and who faces the
voters in a primary in April, declared
today that:
"The thinking people of Illinois re-
sent the invasion of Senator Borah
and Senator Reed into their domestic
affairs"
Steps were being taken today, how
ever, to combat the effect of the Borah
and Reed speeches, and to give Sen.
Mckinley administration backing in
his intra-party fight for denomination.
1t was announced that Secretary of
Commerce Hoover would speak in
Chicago on March 9. Plans are being
laid for other administration spokes-
men to follow him.

SCHOOL BOARD
NOT There TO
MEET MOTHERS
Employ Boss Tactics to
Kill Strike

Once more the mothers of the chill
dren Of the Lowell school were dis
appointed by the board of education,
This time the board did not meet at
all altho they dragged these mothers
to promised meeting at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon and had them
hanging around the building in hopes
that the matter would be taken up,
This time they were stalled off with
the promise of meeting next week.
The slick business men of the
school board use the same tactics to
break the backbone Of this strike that
they use in strikes by workers, stalls.
This is not the first disappointment
they have given the mothers.
Many meetings were held by the
parents with the board trustees. Last
Tuesday over sixty mothers appeared
before committee of the board.
This committee demanded that the
board act at once to return their
children to the Lowell school and
proceed with the building of the an
mex to the school promised them two
years ago.
For four weeks the parents have
been fed promises by the board. Mr.
Handel, who had appointed himself
leader of the parents committee of
ten, has entirely discredited himself
with the parents. AS a result a large
part of this committee split away from
the Handel leadership and is now or
ganized into the Parents League of
the Northwest Section. This organ
ization is a permanent one and will
fight for the welfare Of the children
turnout the year.
The parents demand that new
schools be built in the neighborhood
for these very young children where
as the board of education's scheme is
to fill up the distant and less crowd
ed schools with children from the
more congested districts, thus neces-
stating that the children travel long
distances and eat their lunches away
from their home. Some of the
schools, like the Stone, are fully a mile
from their homes. passing many car
lines, the most dangerous of which is
North Avenue.
