RED REVEL is
BROADCASTED
TO RADIO FANS
Thousands Scramble for
Tickets

The sharp fight between the world
court senators and the non-worId
courters lost it's attraction and failed
to make the headlines as the radio
broadcasting station at the top Of the
Drake Hotel stopped sending out the
strains of Mamma Loves Papa" in
order to give way to an important an
nouncement Of an annual Chicago
event.
With bated breath thousands Of ra-
dio fans listened to the encouraging
piece of information which the speak
er lisped into the microphone. The
announcer forgot his work with, the en-
chanting language Of the speaker and
dropped the program which was soon
to inform the ethereal audience Of the
playing of Il Want My Baby" A
sheep herder radio fan, on the prairies
Of Nevada, sighed deeply and bemoan-
ed the fact that he did not live near
Chicago.
The announcement stated that there
were only two days left before the
Fourth Annual Red Revel actually
takes place!
This astounding bit of news simply
fiabbergasted thousands of the hear
ers. The Office of the Red Revel com
mittee was soon flooded by telegraphic
requests for ticket reservations which
might be called for in time to avoid
the crush at the box Office. Money
orders began to pour in for tickets to
be sent by special delivery mail. In
dividuals crowded the office at 19 s.
Lincoln ST. in a last minute reminder
Of the Red Revel.
There is not the slightest BIT OF
doubt now left that the Temple Hall,
at Marshfeld and Van Buren, which
is to house this years Red Revel will
be packed to the windows on Saturday
night, February 27, which is the night
upon which thousands of Chicago
workers, artists, boys, men, women,
girls and the rest of the Intellectual
proletariat of the city, will gather 10
demonstrate the scientific fact that
all work and no play drives people to
good entertainments. And those who
have composed those crowds of ex-
ceedingly fortunate individuals that
attended the last three Red Revels
need not be told that his Red ReveI
with its masses of masks and plethora
Of prizes, will be the event Of the year.

The government press is raising a
great shindy with regard to the imag-

Communists under the title Of min

Measures have already been taken
for bounding down democratic writ
ers such as Rosa Imvrioto, and a well.
known novelist Varnalis, who sympa-
thizes with the labor movement. Laws
of exception are being prepared
against the Communists, similar to
those existing in the neighboring fas-
cist states.
The proletariat Of the whole world

dictionary campaign and against this
military dictator. The destruction OF

U. S. Military Attache
Thanks God for the
Fascists and Legion

ROME, Feb. 25. - The Italian ex.
combatants' association presented a
flag to the Rome post of the Ameri
can legion at a ceremony which took
place in the senate chamber several
days ago, attended by high officials of
the fascist government and of the
United States.
Colonel McCabe, American military
attache, quite appropriately represent
ed the American government and the
legion, thus symbolizing the identity
of the two. McCabe referred to the
Italian king as ''the greatest soldier in
Italy, great in war and peace" The
premier, Mussolini, whose butcheries
and crimes have aroused even a sec
tion of the liberal world, he charac-
terized as the "illustrious head of the
great Italian government, who with
great ability and success guides the

whether the difficult method of ap
preaching socialism thru the new eco.

lied. Where does the development
of the Soviet Union lead, to socialism
or to capitalism?
Is it possible to build up socialism
in a backward country, when the
world revolution delays it's appear
ance? The tremendous significance of
the party congress consisted in the
fact that these great questions of
principle were put and answered.
The party congress declared once
again that the party was one of the
troops of the Communist movement of
the international working class and
for this reason the chief aim of the
party was an aim for the develop
ment and the victory Of the interna-
tional proletarian revolution.
After the party congress had re.
corded the general economic growth
and the growth of the significance of
the socialist economic elements, and
the offensive of the proletariat COM
mencing upon the basis Of the new
economic policy, it pointed to the me-
cessity of so leading the work of eco
nomic reconstruction that "the Soviet
Union in its capitalist environment
could not develop into an economic

COOLIDCE'S CRONY
BUTLER DEMANDS
LONGER WORKDAY
Urges Massachusetts, to
Amend 48-Hour Law

BOSTON, Feb. U.s. United States
Senator VIM. M. Butler, textile baron
of New Bedford, the Arkwright club,
and the Association of Textile Mill
owners were the principals behind the
scenes in an all-day fight before the
Massachusetts committee on labor
and industry over the proposed re-
peal of the 4S-hour law and the sub
stitution of 54-hour law in the tex
tile and other industries where wom-
en- and minors are employed.
The chief speaker for the textile
barons was Ward Thoron, president
Of the Arkwright club. James Tansey
of Fall River, the veteran head of the
American Federation of Textile Oper-
atives, was on the job to protect the
interests of the workers. In answer
to a question, Thoron admitted that
the mills controlled by Butler are
pushing the demand for the repeal of
the 4S-hour law. He said that unem-
ployment and short-time operation
were the result of the 4S-hour law in
Massachusetts,. If the law were chang
ed to 54 hours or longer, more and
steady work would be had. This is
the most absurd argument to advance,
yet that was Thoron's trump card.
Near cooIie Status Now.
The workers would have still less
work than at present if they are to
be forced to work longer hours. The
present move of the mill owners, if
successful, will reduce the textile
workers to the status Of an Asiatic
coolie. The average wage in the in
dustry is between $13 and $14 a week
James Tansey, of the American Fed
Grafton of Textile Operatives and
Thomas F. Mcmahon, president Of
the United Textile Workers Union,
tho they argued against the PROPOSE
tion, were nevertheless, incapable
of leading a real fight in behalf Of
the workers. The chaotic conditions
among the textile workers demands
immediate solution and only power
full united front movement of labor
will prevent the lengthening Of the
work week and thru its mighty pow
er, shorten the work week to 40 hours.
The hearings at the state house indi-
cate the intentions of the bosses
longer hours, speed-up systems, wage
cuts, etc. Now is the time to organ
ize to meet the attack.

I ed the special necessity of the strug-
gle against the latter deviation, which
comes forward under '1eft" allegedly
feminist slogans and which demands
complicated methods of struggle for
the isolation of the Kulaks and for the
winning Of the middle peasantry onto
our side in order to overcome it.
The Party congress approved of the
policy already decided upon to devel-
op the Soviet democracy thru an ac-
tivization of the Soviets and the CO.
operatives in town and country, the
activization of the trade unions, etc.
"The proletariat and its party as the
chief leading forces must utilize the
growth in the activity of the masses
to draw the masses still closer into
the process of the work Of socialist
reconstruction and into the struggle
against burocracy in the state appara-
tusp
One of the preliminary conditions
for Soviet democracy, however, is the
development of an internal party de-
mocracy, not the weakening but the
strengthening of the leading role of
the party. The party congress re-
jected the policy proposed by individ-
ual comrades for an exaggerated ex-
tension of the party. This would
lead to an initiation of the party, to an
overflow of it's ranks with half-pro-
letarian elements which have not yet
gone thru the school of the working
class organizations.
Finally, the Party congress dealt
with the questions of the trade un-
ions and the youth movement.
New Opposition Destroyed.
The new opposition made powerful
and long ago secretly prepared at
tacks against the leaders and the
central committee of the party. The
opposition attacked the policy of the
central committee 1t attempted to
shake the feminist line of the party.
The efforts of the new opposition,
however, proved as unsuccessful as
the efforts of all previous oppositions.
1t broke against the steel wall Of the
feminist majority of the Party con-
gress and suffered a complete defeat.
It remained an inconsiderable minor
ity The Party congress approved
the policy of the central committee
with a tremendous, with an over
whelming majority and condemned
the fractional activities Of the opposi-
ton.
Unity Of the Party.
The article closes We are devel.
oping a party democracy. We shall
carry out the treatment Of the most
important political questions in the
party organizations. We strive and |
will continue to strive to develop an
objective criticism inside the party |
We. however, do not permit any form
of fractional activity, no mobilization
or bringing together Of forces upon
any new or old fractional platform
and we shall never permit this. Our
slogan was, is and will be-: "The
Unity of the Partyl"

Some of the outstanding speed schedules maintained by Ameri- can steam railways during the past year follow:
 Between Camden and Allan tic City. average rate of speed sl.7 miles an hour.

 Between Boston and Worces- ter, the Twentieth Century makes an average of 44.4 miles an hour for the distance of 5i miles.
 Boston, April - From the de lire for riding on rubber" az demonstrated by the establishment D. motor bus lines in coordinatior with the steam rail service, raj managers of the country are now leaning toward riding on roller bearings over solid concrete road beds" at speeds heretofore not GUS eomarily attained.
 Greater speed. safety and com Tort In transportation is the goa at which all transportation man Agers are aiming.
 4 mile a minute was the spec which was occasionally achieved il lhe past, although but few railroa' trains have maintained that spec tegularly for many successive min htes.
 Today some rail managers ar Aspiring to sustained speed c 100 miles an hour over solid con trete roadbeds, at the same tim obtaining greater comfort an tafsty than is realized today eve ln parlor cars.
