To assure those who may have
worried about II.

There will surely be chorus girls at
the T. U. e. L. Ball on Friday night,
New Years Eve.
4 There will also be costumed dicks
and dukes, wise-guys and dumb-bells,
workers and bosses-they will all mix
for once at the Italian Hall at 643 N.
Clark st. where the masque ball Of
the militants is to be held.
The music We are assured is going
to be something somewhat special.
This ought TO please those Black-Bot-
tomly inclined. The grub--so they
say-will be cooked by good union
cooks and how! Brother, come hungry
with plenty room to put 1t In.
The price Of admission is not worth
mentioning. It's some insignificant
sum. But this is worth mentioning.
A special squad has been chosen to
pull down any speaker who attempts
20 get serious on the gayest night in
Chicago.

Workers Had Five-Day
Week in Many Trades
Before A. F. L. Policy

\ WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S. -FP) -
Employers who considered the an
nouncement of the American Fedora
ton of Labor that 1t would campaign
for a five-day week for labor a revo-
lutionary threat learned from report
just made public by the Department
of Labor that large numbers of work
ers have managed to obtain the FIVE
day week long before the A. F. Of FL.
promised to inaugurate the campaign.
Many other workers, who work six
days, have only 40 hours of work a
week, so that in actual working hours
they have the benefit of a flve-day
week.
The established flve-day week oc-
ours in the clothing factories, the
building trades, among printers, balr-
ers and laundry workers, in the paper
box industry, in foundries and ma
chine shops, and to some extent in the
iron and steel industry, the report
says.

Judicial Primary Law
Knocked Out by State
Supreme Court Ruling

The judicial primary act, which pro-
vides that circuit and superior court
judges of the state Of Illinois be des-
ignated by primary elections, was held
void by the state supreme court. The
court held that the "act OF 1925 was
repugnant to other election provisions
in the constitution" and therefore
could not be upheld.
The decision of the supreme court
means that judges will hereafter be
nominated by the old convention
method as provided by the ballot act
of 1891, unless emergency legislation
is passed by the legislature.
General primary procedure is not af-
fected by the decision.

The house resolutions which are be-

ton Of his resolution. ut represents
the low tide Of Christian diplomacy
since the Congress Of Vienna. The
negotiations at Lausanne were marked
by duplicity and calculated faithless-
ness, and brand the conference as one
of the ignominious and disgraceful
conferences in international history"
He said that in order to acquire the
valuable oil deposits in the Mosul
region, and actinng at the behest of
the Standard Oil company, which re-
cetves one-fourth of the valuable

hated.

Both houses are in an innvestigat-
ing mood, with rumors of corruption
in various branches of the government
forcing themselves to the fore each
day. Unable to obtain information in
any other way, the State Department
standing on its right to refuse infor-
nation if in its opinion it is incom-
patible with public interests, and the
other departments taking very much
the same attitude, the senate will give
up legislating for the balance of the
session and devote itself to an inves-
tigation of the things heads of the de-
partments evidently prefer to conceal
as long as they can.

who fought the kaiser's army. Eng
land is not alone in neglecting the
survivors and the damaged cannon
fodder. Last. Mondays newspapers
carried a story of a Canadian hero"
by the name of Tommy Holmes who
was the youngest Canadian soldier to
win the Victoria cross during the war.
TOMMY put two German pill
L boxes" out of business and was
lauded in the spress for his gallant
deed. He suffered a fractured arm
and was gased later on in another
battle. After the war was over and
manufactured patriotism began to
grow cold, Tommy's exploit was for
gotten. He could not find a capitalist
that would give him a weekly salary
on the basis of his heroism. The
casing he got began to tell on his
health and he fell victim to tuber-
culosis. He lost his job. After con-
siderable efforts on the part of his
friends grateful" government final
ly allowed him pension Of $35 a
month.
THO this poor devil Is hardly able
- to walk the government insists
that he is fit for Hight work and re-
fuses to give him any more than the
paltry sum Of $35 month even tho
the dying hero" has wife and child
depending on him for living. This
should be interesting mental food for
prospective cannon fodder as we'll as
those who have risksd their lives in
the late war for the capitalists. There
will be another capitalist war unless
the workers prevent such a holocaust
and another crop of heroes will be
cultivated only to be left to starve
when the dirty work is done.
A MOTHER hero" whose exploits
l. will be remembered by some OF
our readers is Michael OLeary who
was used by the British government
as recruiting sergeant after the
hired war correspondents manufactur-
ed a yarn about o'Leary capturing a
large chunk of the German army
single-handed. Mike had a gay time
until the war was over but like Tom
my Holmes, his troubles began when
the world was made safe for democ-
racy." 'oLeary was the first soldier
in the Canadian army to receive the
Victoria cross. The Canadians were
proud of him but not to the extent of
guaranteeing him job. Peace hath
its horrors as well as war.
DILIGENTLY oLeary had to put his
~ wife and family on board ship and
return TO Ireland. his native land, be-
cause he could not find employment in
the country he risked his life in the
war for. The government replied TO
popular criticism Cor its treatment of
a hero" by stating that o'Leary was
given seven jobs in one year and did
not make good. SO a man who may
be a hero on the battlefield may not
be a profitable patriot in a factory.
We need not go to Canada for evi.
dence to prove that worker who
goes to war for the capitalists under
the delusion that he is defending
his" country Is no Solomon. The
hospitals OF the country are strewn
with the wrecks OF war heroes. They
are ignored and forgotten except on
Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is
the reward OF patriotismi
