London, Nov. 16 R-That a mothers commands, threats and opportunities induced seventeen year old Consuelo Vanderbilt to abandon her youthful American sweetheart in favor of the Duke of Marlborough because the mother wished her to contract "a splendid marriage" is said unofficially to have been confirmed before the Catholic diocesan court at South wark which granted an annulment Of the marriage of Consuelo to the Duke of Marlborough.
 It is said that the confirmation was given by the mother of the for mer duchess. Mrs. o. H. P Belmont, and other witnesses. Official se- crecy in this respect, however. is still being maintained by the church authorities whose decision to annul the marriage was upheld by the Holy Rota tribunal in Rome.
 | In this connection 1t is being re- marked here as very strange that during the hearing of the petition Of the duchess for a divorce from Marlborough by the civil court nc allegations of coercion by her par ent or others were made.
 That Consuelo was In love with some young American before her marriage to the duke seems indicat- ed in a despatch to the Daily Mail from Rome. which asserts that a part of the evidence presented tc the diocesan court consisted of let ters 10 her from sweetheart whom she could have welded had her mother not prevailed upon her Duress Was Used
 While it has been asserted that Mrs. Belmont appeared before the court and testified that duress was used to have Consuelo marry the duke. none of the various stories

Chicago Ordinance
Proposes That All
Thugs Be Citizens

The committee on judiciary Of the
Chicago municipal council, at the in
stance of the local Federation of La
Dor, Thursday recommended to the
council an ordinance which as
amended provides that detective ag-
encies in times of strikes shall pro-
vide the chief of police with list of
every guard, special policeman, and
operative placed at any plant and
shall certify that each of them is a
citizen of the United States and res
ident of Chicago for at least one year.
Whether the blackjacks of citi-
zen will be any softer than those of
an alien or the particular advantage
of being shot by a resident Of Chi
cago instead Of resident of any other
city, is not set forth in the ordinance.
The advantage of the chief of police
having the names of all these plug
uglies could be understood if the
workers of Chicago had a labor party
controlling the municipal administra-
ton, but the police department usu-
ally is Fundamentally cooperating
with private sluggers and will prob
ably continue to do so until labor or
ganizes it's political power independ-

also a work of Comrade Gibson, will

tonight. Everyone will be there-and
no better place could be found to bring

John L. Lewis, president of the Unit

a statement blaming the operators for
the breakup. Lewis statement said:

Operators Insisted on Arbitration.
Conscious of our responsibilities
and still imbued with the hope that
agreement might be reached thru the
operators abandonment of arbitration,
the mine workers refused to do so.

motion and the chairman put the ques-
ton. Under such circumstances the
mine workers recognized that they
could not thru their own efforts keep
the conference in session with the op-

Communist Application
of United Front Wins
Workers from Reaction
BY }. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

party and it's press has never ceas-
ed to fawn upon the Lewis regime
in the miners union, as it does up
on the renegade socialist, "B. &
o. Bill" Johnston in the Machinists'
Union, and similar betrayers in
other labor unions.
When Cappellini later betrayed
the progressives and went over in
to the Lewis camp, the Weekly
Worker was among the first to re-
pudiate him. 1t has fought ener-
getically against him ever since.
1t was Cappellini who joined with
Lewis at the Scranton Tri-District
convention of the anthracite coal
miners in 1923, to instigate mob ac-
ton against members of the Pro-
gressive Miners Committee in at
tendance at the gathering. Then the
socialists were with Cappellini.
THE Communist policy is to sup
1 port every forward movement in
the trade unions which make them
militant fighting organizations of
the workers. 1t will often happen
that progressives of today become
the reactionaries of tomorrow. The
United Front tactics are a means of
exposing the -progressives
and thus breaking their influence
over the workers. While Cappellini
supported the progressive demands
of the anthracite miners the Com
munlsts could make common cause
with him in support of those de-
mands. When Cappellini turned
traitor, he found no more bitter
enemy than the Communists. The
Cappellini incident is an outstand-
ing example which proves that the
Communists stand always for the
interests of the working masses.
THE editorial in The New Leader
= admits that Eugene v. Debs was
permitted to go ahead with his
meeting.
On the other hand, Alex Reid, Pat
Toohey and August Valentine, men,
bers Of the Progressive Miners
Committee were thrown into Jail,
the cappeIIini outfit joining with
local police authorities to convict
them. An effort was made by this
same combination, that permitted
the Debs' meetings, to outlaw all
meetings Of the Workers (com-
munist) Party and to ban The
DAILY WORKER from the district.
THE whole tactic and policy Of the
= Socialists" in the Atlantic City
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, especially the "sociaI-
lists" in the needle trades, revealed
their complete surrender to the
Green-Lewis administration in the
A. F. of 1. and the miners union,
which includes cappellni in the an
thracite district.
The left wing and the Commun-
lists fought for cappelIini, and join
ed in a united front with him when
ne was progressive. He is repudiat-
ed and fought as cog in the reac-
tfonary machine.
The Socialists" gave cappeIIini
no support when he was a progress
slve. They do not oppose him, and
the policies for which he stands,
now that he Is a reactionary.
The workers understand the Com
munlst application of the united
front. That is why the left wing is
growing in the labor movement. The
united front tactic has ripped the
mask off the socialists. That Is
why all honest workers will have
nothing to do with the Socialists"

nor anywhere else.
