The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-09-19

WhuSus
combats ClerIcaIs And Refornlsts
The need for a daily similar to
'Laisve" has been felt for many years
in Chicago. Here the social-democrats
have their daily "Nauiienos," and the
clericals their daily "Draugas (Friend)
BY the time "Laisve" reached Chi
cago it was several days old. Many
Lithuanian workers have not learned
to read the English language. They
must depend upon the daily Lithuan-
ian papers for their news. They seek
to get the paper with the latest news.
The circulation of "Laisve" therefore
could not grow beyond the small circle
of party members and sympathizers
because of this hch
The need Of a paper to combat the
lies of both the social-democrat and
the clerical press in Chicago forced
the Lithuanian comrades to issue the
weekly "Zarijas" (Ember) immediate
ly after the left wing split in the
Lithuanian socialist federation. This
publication was short-lived. The per-
secution which followed the Palmer
red raids forced it to cease publica-
tion.
A Daily Needed.
April, 1920, the weekly "vilnis"
(Surge) was issued. The Lithuanian
socialists, about this time, began to
run full-page ads advertising all kinds
Of fake promotion schemes. Hundreds
Of thousands of dollars saved by many
Lithuanian workers were carried away
IN these fake schemes. 'Vilnis" took
an active part in the exposure of these
schemes. It's influence began to grow
greater and greater among the work
ers.
In September 1921 "Vilnis" appear
ed as semi-weekly. At first it seem
ed as If it would be possible to carry
on the fight with this semi-weekly.
Later events proved that nothing less
than daily would be needed to en-
tirely destroy the influence Of these
anti-working class elements.
Fruit Of Six Months Work.
Agitation for a daily Wins" be-
gan. Many comrades feared to take
the step. AS time went on the need
for a daily grew so strong that these
comrades were forced by the circum-
stances they found themselves in to
come forward and agitate for a daily.
The daily Wins" now appears
after an intense six months campaign.
With the appearance OF the daily
"vilnis" not only should It be day
Of rejoicing for the Lithuanian Com
munists but 1t should be day of re-
joicing for workers OF other lang
uages.

Detroit Man
Speaker at Mems
Methodist Club

Horatio Earle of Detroit. Mich,
president of the North Wayne Tool Co.
spoke to the Mems Brotherhood of the
Methodist church in an inspiring way
at its monthly meeting last evening
Throughout his address the speaker
stressed his love for humanity. espe.
cially for boys and girls, and he told
at some length Of the work done in
New York for children by Jacob A
Refs.
Although there IS not In the world
he said. big job for every man
there is little one and it is the
proper carrying out of this that he
considered of paramount importance
|. Every man has talent for the tasks
for which he Is purposed, said the
speaker.
Mr.. Earle resorted to humor innum-
cradle times and. tracing his early life
he laid credit to will, rum and rheum-
atism:" but he added that the rum
was always drunk by the other fellow
OF much interest was his discussion
of the part he thought the church
should play in enforcing the laws of
the nation. He did not believe the
money of the people given in churches
should be used to further the work of
such organizations as the Anti-Saloon
League. but to his mind the duty OF
the churches was to preach the gospel
and to make men live in accordance
with 1t.
Mr. Earle said that when young
man he desired college education
but now he was glad he had been de-
MED: for had he gone to college he
would have been a doctor. lawyer OF
minister, but today, he said, he could
hire the whole three of them. "A hob
by of his had been sending boys and
girls through college. and he outlined
the procedure in a pleasing manner.
