"FooTLoosE WIDOWS" AT THE
 LYCEUM

"Footloose Widows" read by thousands as a best seller" is be- ing shown at the Lyceum theater as ga tip top movie attraction and with Louise Fazenda and Jacqueline Lo- gan in the leading roles it is a pie ture worthy of anybody's attention. The companion drama, equally as good but of a different type pre- sents George Walsh in "The Test of Donald Norton" "The Amazing Adventure of Magic" and the news reels round out this program.
 In "Footloose Widows" a couple of girls employed in a fashionable dressmaking establishment feel the lure for fine clothes and rich environ ment and borrowing" an elaborate wardrobe from their employer they go to Florida where they pose as wealthy widows in an attempt to capture wealthy husbands. Things seem to be going fine until it de- velops that the wealthy" men they have ensnared are themselves for tune hunters
 "The Test of Donald Norton" gives Walsh his first picture of the north. His role is that of a sup posed half breed Indian in love with a white girl and convinced himself that he Is a white man. Despised by the whites as a half breed, his effort to prove his identity is tough one and the picture abounds in sensational scenes, fights and mystery. Some tender love making that lis far from as cold as the arctic skies under which it takes place gives added heart interest.

kept in his concentration group and
not transferred. His information may
not be fresh, but It is the best We
can obtain.
Another good suggestion made was
that we have regular system where
by unemployed comrades can be no
titled Of jobs which may be obtained
in places which we wish to concen-
trate on.
Every comrade should realize the
seriousness Of quitting his Job when
we are concentrating on his shop.
This leaves us without connection.
Action will be taken If this happens
again.

One of the groups reported at the
meeting that a bulletin issued IN her
factory brot very good results. They
are doing this all over the country.
The bulletin should be made live.

they should claim the interest and az
tention of every worker: every worker
should take a direct part in them,
since he is directly affected by them.
He should be given the truth con-
corning these matters. And the So
cialist papers, like the capitalist, lib
eral papers, hardly mention these
matters. When they do mention them
they stir up Communist scare"
This is treason to the cause Of the
worker; it is tantamount to a sly and
ugly thrust in the back by those
who claim to be in the same ranks,
lighting the same enemy. The crime
lies in that so many workers are ig-
norant Of this treason, Of this dRs-
tardly thickness of their so-called
friends" Their attention must be
awakened to this menace OF socialist
party class collaboration. which
means only to perpetuate the system
Of slavery in which we now live.

Florida Workers and

Aimed Against Labor

RUSKIN, Fla, March 12.--Militant
farmers and workers at a meeting

the Coolidge administration and the
anti-labor bills that are now before
Congress. The resolution adopted by
this gathering follows:
Whereas, President Coolidge'sa mes
sage to Congress calls for anti-strike
legislation against the workers on the
railroads and in the coal mining dis
tricts and approves of registration,
fngerprinting and photographing of
all foreign-born workers, and
Whereas, the capitalist program
calls for universal draft law and
indorses a fight against the first work
ers' and peasants goyernment-the

Therefore, be it resolved, that this
meeting of militant wage workers and
farmers held at Ruskin, Florida, en-

its efforts to defend militants who up

Union Men Walk Streets
While Business Agents
Fatten on limitations
BY a Worker Correspondent

At the Axel Carlson Concrete Con-
struction Company, Cicero, the fol-
lowing incident took place:
Six men were hired on Job located
at saith avenue and 18th street. These
men were not asked IL they were
members of the union.
The following morning four bust
ness agents Of the Building Laborers'
Union, three of them from Local 76
and one from Local %, appeared on
the scene. After checking up the
laborers it was found that out Of
eleven on the job two had paid-up
cards and one had a permit issued to
him from another job.
The issue arose among the business
agents which one should sign up the
men on permits, which costs the men
five dollars week 1854 being the
initiation fee). The business agent
from Local rs being outnumbered
three to one by Local rs, lost his
chances to line up any of the non
union men.
~ 40 WOAAn W AOb0 LlActl WuAAE
this is going on at most of the jobs
in Chicago union men are walking the
streets with union cards in good
standing, while non-union laborers are
given preference to jobs in order that
he business agent may collect permit
money which amounts to hundreds of
dollars month.
1t is these points that the rank and
file should raise in the local union
and propagate for amalgamation Of
the laborers' locals into Industrial
unions and thereby do away with
needless expense. of paying fat sala-
ries to a bunch of business agents
who pay no attention to the working
conditions under which we work, but
merely appear on the Job to collect
money from non-union men whom the
bosses are allowed to hire.

WTE have now been organized in the
w Concentration Group and NJ
basis for about four months. At a
meeting Of all the Concentration
Group secretaries recently many
things were discussed which resulted
in the following:
I. Composition Of Groups.
From the reports given by many Of
the secretaries It was found that one
of the reasons for the lack of real ac-
tivity in many of the groups was their
poor composition. For instance, one
group is made up Of FIVE students and
comrade who is a worker on and OF.
The comrades In this section had a
wrong conception Of the groups, since
they gave as a reason for this com
position the fact that the factory be.
ing concentrated upon was a mail
order house and they thought that
the students could work among these
workers better than some Of the com
rades who work. OF course this was
incorrect, and the comrades involved
did not realize this till they learned
it by experience. Another group was
found to be composed Of high school
students, Office workers, and unem-
ployed.
The thing we did find out was that
every group which was really func-
tioning had good, well-balanced COM
position. Every section should go
over their membership and. place the
comrades so that there are workers
in each concentration group. See
where this or that comrade can best
function and place him accordingly.
2. Lack of Connections.
This is one of our big problems.
We are given a factory to concentrate
on--how can we get information as
to conditions, hours of work, etc.?
This getting Of inside connections
should always be our aim when sell
ing the Young Worker, drawing up
and distributing bulletins, arranging
meetings, etc. Always try to talk to
the worker that is taking your bulle-
tin, buying your Young Worker. Try
to get his name and address, draw
him into a conversation. One of the
suggestions made at our meeting was
that a space for name and address be
made in the bulletin issued by the
concentration group-also that a re-
quest for articles to be sent to the
D. o. be made in every bulletin. This
will bring some good results. Also

GAG CHECKER
CAB DRIVERS AT
annual MEETING
Well-Oiled M a C h in e
Terrorizes Men
By a Worker Correspondent.

After successfully operating thru
one year Of comparative peace, Chi
cago Checker Cab driver-owners, at
their annual stockholders meeting,
discovered themselves being driven by
intimidation into re-electing a board
of directors which is liable to deliver
them all into the hands of a few own
ers. The ballots have not yet been
counted, but the results are quite evil
dent. as
During the past year sufficient prog
ress was made by the machine to as
sure the drivers of a living. But at
the same time measures were put
thru the board of directors limiting
the management to an executive board
of seven, and endorsing the building
of a standard cab, which all drivers
will be forced to buy. The advan-
tages of Standardization were touted
while the fact that the actual control
of this manufacturing company was
already in the hands of the Checker
offlcialdom was not mentioned. Of
ficials will merely have to condemn
the present cab of any driver and
then he will either buy the standard
car at fairly stiff price or get out
of the company.
Well oiled Machine.
The meeting was typical of any
union where a we'll organized machine
rides over a scattered opposition.
Already before the meeting proxies
were issued by the thousands, author
izing the present regime to vote a
drivers share. (Shares are owned by
each driver in proportion to the value
of his carr Thus, in case driver
did not attend for any reason, his
votes were assured the administra-
ton. Lists of all drivers we're car
ried by proxy bearers so that in case
man refused to sign he was on the
blacklist" About 600 out of the
/, 400 stockholders voted in person.
