LOS ANGELES, Cal--CBy Mail)--
Generally speaking, the Chinese are
about the most difficult people on
earth for white persons to approach.
One reason for this is that the So
called white people of the world for
ages have treated the Cinnamon as
belonging to an inferior" race. This
insulting bunk thrown at proud peo-
pie, with the oldest culture in the
world, has created in every China
mans mind distrust in everything
connected with pale-faced Supporters. !"
The only field in which the superior
ity of whites over those of color
comes to light is in the art of rob-
berry. Anyhow, the advancing revolu-
tionary forces will soon change fool
ish ideas as we'll as the map of the
world. And The DAILY WORKER
is on the job doing it.

Passaic Film Showing
for City's Little Folk

Two exhibitions of the Passaic Tex
tile Strike film will be made in Chi
cago under the auspices of the Young
Pioneers. These are put on largely
to interest the children of every class,
both those who are familiar with the
class struggle and those who are ordi-
narily shielded from any knowledge of
it. 1t is, therefore, hoped that all
working class children will persuade
their school friends and all children
with whom they come into any con-
tact to see this film.
On Christmas Day, the 25th, the
showing will be at 1897 Roosevelt
road, and on Sunday, the 26th, at
1855 West Division street. Both per-
formances will begin at o'clock in
the afternoon, handy hour for chill.

MOVE TO MURDER
SACCO, vANzETTI
Express confidence" in
Judge Thayer
BY SIDNEY BLOOMFIELD
Worker correspondent)

WORCHESTER, Mass, Dec. 21. -
In its campaign at influencing public
opinion in behalf of Judge Webster
Thayer the presiding Judge in the
Sacco-Vanzetti case, the Worcester
County Bar Association, at its annual
meeting held at the court house here,
resolved that This association hereby
records its confidence in the good
faith, high character and personal in
tegrity of Justice Webster Thayer, and
deplores the attacks made upon him"
Gives Him Flowers.
Upon the opening day of the supe-
rior court session, at which Thayer
presided, this legal body presented
basket of flowers to him which eli.
cited from Judge Thayer a speech Of
thanks couched in fine phrases, which,
stripped Of all euphony, amounted to
a pledge to the open shoppers of Mass
achusetts that he will keep the faith
and push Sacco and Vanzetti on to the
electric chair.
The gathering of the Worcester
County Bar Association was schedul-
ed to be demonstration counter to
those in behalf of the victims Of the
open shoppers wrath. The sponsors
of this affair admitted that this gather
ing was held in order to counterfeit
the recent mass-demonstration on be-
half of Sacco and Vanzetti in Madison
Square Garden, New York, under the
auspices of the Sacco-V anzetti emer-
gency conference.

Talks to Theologians
BY a Worker Correspondent.

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 81. - Scott
Nearing attracted hundreds of work
ers, liberals and students here by his
series Of lectures on WHITTIER Amer

interest was evidenced by the audien-
ces who heard his series.
He also spoke at the Denver Work
ers' Lyceum under the auspices OF In
ternational Labor Defense.
Exposes Bosses Trade.
Nearing showed the workers how
the owners of tools of production were
using their power to keep the work
ers under subsection. They used five
main tools in this, he said, the church,
the press, the colleges, company un-
ions, and persecution of active worker
leaders.

College Fears Nearing.
It is significant that, altho 1t was
planned that Nearing would speak to
the students of the University OF
Denver, which is claimed to be a
liberal institution, he was not allowed
to speak there by the trustees. How
ever, the Tiff School OF Theology,
which is an affiliated institution. did
have Nearing talk. The Colorado La
Dor Advocate asks editorially: when
the University is more conservative
than the school Of theology on the
same campus, does II mean that the
preachers are more radical than the
rest OF the young folks? Or more
brave? Or more curious?" The Ad-
vocate predicted that the University
administration would not allow Near
ing to speak.

of many great capitalist banks and
the whole galaxy of labor institutions
recalls an editorial in the Commercial
& Financial Chronicle. The Chronicle
commented on the view Of F. P. Stock
bridge that labor is headed toward
control OF American industry via
banking and employe stock ownership.

luton but evolution; not confirmation

Of the historic unions, but abandon

ton Of established business princi-
PIES"
Is Not Afraid.
The Chronicle does not forsee the
early control Of industry by unions
operating along these lines. It points
out that even $3.50, 100000, twice the
resources of the labor banks, is not
much, compared with the enormous
capitalization Of industry, represent
ing the profits and services OF $50
years. 1t continues
Organized labor in six or so years
can secure but small portion of it.
While labor is saving existing capital
1t is adding to its own stock 1t will
continue to do so alongside labor's in
yestment enterprises, unless Leninism
does take the helm and destroys all.
Labor has not only introduced mo-
new principle into banking but has
adopted the old and time tried princi-
pies, and largely thereby has succeed
ed. But is 1t to be supposed that it
can, by buying control of manufacture,
exercise the same powers? VIII it be
any different sort OF capital because
new or because of new owners? We
find in this advent into new fields a
surrender rather than triumph"

FALL-DOHENY
VERDICT UNDER
SENATOR'S fire
Fall Faces Court with
Sinclair Next
BY Federated Press.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. - The vim
dication that Fall and Doheny felt
was theirs as result of their acquital
by jury which was out 10 hours and
which at one time stood six to six for
conviction proved short lived, when
Senator Heflin, of Alabama, delivered
a violent attack on the entire trial,
including the jury, several hours after
the verdict was made known.
No spenders.
The attack on the floor of the sen
ate was not aided by any OF the other
senators, except Senator Walsh, of
Montana, who rose to defend the
judge who presided at the trial. bur
the failure Of senators to reply to the
harsh indictment Helm drew reveal
ed an undercurrent of resentment that
may break out in more violent form
almost any day. It is clear both from
what has been said and by what re
mains unsaid that the verdict is con
sidered unfair in face of the evidence
that was submitted, evidence which
Federal Judge Mccormick considered
sufficiently indicative of a conspiracy
between Fall and Doheny to order the
cancellation of the oil leases.
While the condemnation of the pro
ceeding voiced by Heflin in the senate
and privately expressed by others is
of little value so far as affecting the
dict already rendered is concerned,
trial is coming, in which Fall
II stand accused with Harry f. Sin
clair OF similar conspiracy relating
to the transfer of the Teapot Dome re-
serves. In that case, the transfer Of
100000 in black satchel will not
enter, but there will be charge that
Fall benefited to the extent Of $780,
600 in oil stock as result OF that
lease.
Reason for Silence.
1t is not considered unlikely that
should the attacks on the verdict con.
tinue in the senate the attorneys OF
Fall and Sinclair will endeavor to
take advantage of them by charging
that they have created an atmosphere
in Washington decidedly unfriendly to
the accused, and demand change of
venue and such other legal advantages
as the law enables one who has a
corps OF able lawyers to make use Of.
That may be one reason why others
are remaining silent.
In the same court, but before a diff
ferent Judge, a motion was made to-
day by the attorneys representing
Fail and Sinclair to quash the indict-
ment against both defendants ON the
ground that certain changes made in
the method of appeal in the district
OF Columbia have impaired the rights
Of the defendants. Attorneys for the
government will oppose the motion.

BY MARION L. EMERSON
worker correspondentl


NEW YORK, Dec. 81. - For eleven
weeks $500 paper box makers of New
York have been on strike for the Az
hour week and the establishment Of a
minimum wage scale.
The average pay for 46 hours is
from SIS to $40 for girls and $25 to
$50 dollars for men. The shops are
IN the worst section OF the manufac-
turing district and tie workers are
forced to toll by artificial light under
extremely unsanitary conditions.
The cutters generally work in
cellars where dampness causes rheu-
matism and poor light ruins the eyes.
tuberculosis develops in many cases
and the skin of the girls is ruined
from the hot glue with which they
work
No Rest Rooms.
The girls suffer from lack of proper
rest rooms, many of them being con-
nected with the Offices of the bosses.
In some places there is no division
between the lavatories Of the men and
women.
Many Accidents.
Accidents often occur among these
workers, many of which could be
avoided by the attaching of safety de-
vices costing $3.50 a year. AS these
elacken the speed of the machine
somewhat, many shops do not have
them.
Bosses Unite.
The Paper Box Makers Union had
an agreement with the United Paper
Box Manufacturers Association but
when the workers went on strike the
Interstate, Independent and Metropoli-
tan companies combined with the
United and secured the backing of the
National Paper Box Manufacturers
Association to kill the union.
AS a result these $500 workers are
forced to fight manufacturers COM
lbine.
Razors have been used on the pick
cts and one was shot in the head.
This worker would have been killed If
the shot had penetrated one eighth OF
m inch lower. In one instance the
police captain himself helped to beat
two strikers with clubs.
In spite of all this they fight on and
the picket lines are unbroken. They
will continue their struggle for the
preservation of their union until their
demands are won.

S. DAKOTA FARMER
TELLS OF SUCCESS

Practical farmers and stock-men
will be interested in the experience
of G. H. Humphrey, Corson County,
S. D., just west of Mobridge, S. D.,
who came out here sixteen years
ago from Wisconsin. =
There was something in the atmosphere
and freedom of this country that obliterated
all desire to live in the East again." writes
Mr.. Humphrey, land there was fascina-
ton in turning furrow of rich virgin
soil half-mile in length without having to
stop to dislodge stone or dig stump: or
to ponder as to what would be the best
method of DISCRIMINATING 'Quack Grass or
Canada Thistles."
Taking up his land with only a
small amount of capital, he quickly
developed its naturally favorable
qualities with diversified farming
and now owns and successfully
farms 800 acres. His average pro-
duction of wheat is Is bushels to
the acre; of oats, 80 bushels; of
corn, 25 bushels; and of barley, Is
bushels. His garden f1ourishes also.
Very good success, he reports, in
raising hogs, cattle and horses. The
stock are not confined as much as
in the East, and the cost of produc-
ing their feed is less. Chickens and
turkeys are very profitable; also
the production of milk.
There are wonderful opportu-
mites now open in the Northwest.
