SACCO, VANzETTI
PROTEST. OF 1900
CHICAGO WORKER
$500 Raised in Temple
Hall for Defense

Fifteen hundred Chicago workers
jammed the Temple Hall here to pro-
test against thesproposed execution of
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzett1
and to express their determined sol
idarity with them. Enthusiastically ap-
plauding the speakers, the workers
demonstrated that they were a united
whole in demanding the release of the
framed-up workers who are being led
to their death by the unjust decision
of the supreme court of Massachusetts,
which denied them a new trial.
1.-THE most effective way in which
we can help Sacco and Vanzetti," said
Ralph Chaplin, lis to see that the
workers of this country are reached
with the story of the case" 1t was
the appeal of Chaplin tc the audience
which resulted in flow of bills and
change amounting to 1895 for the
printing in leaflet form of an appeal
which Eugene V. Debs has written to
American labor. This stirring plea will
be distributed in hundreds of thous-
ands of copies.

PARIS, May sf.--Premier BRAND
secured a vote In favor Of his pro-
posaI to deny discussion on the
financial situation of the country
by a majority in the chamber Of de-

BRANDS argument.
This was met by cries from the
left bloc:
"You are putting US in the hands

CAL coolidge
AT ARLINGTON
DEFENDS court
Boasts of Military
Might of U. S.
Especial to The Daily worker)


WASHINGTON, D. c., May 81. -
coolidge's Decoration Day address at
Arlington cemetery was characterized
by an eulogy of the army, the navy
and the air forces. He boosted Of tho
fact that never before has the United
States possessed such a gigantic
peace time military machine as at
the present time.
He was quick to lapse into the
usual pacif1st talk about this country
coveting no territory, entertaining no
imperialistic designs, nor harboring
no enmity toward other peoples.
Praises League and Court.
In his memorial day address Coo
lidge went a step farther than he has
hitherto gone and not only reaflrmed
his stand in favor of the Wall Street
conspiracy to bludgeon this country
into the world court, which is the
back door of the league of nations,
but he even praised the league itself
as European instrument by stating
that it Ought to be able to provide
those countries (European) with GER
tain political guarantees which our
country does not require"
On debt cancellation he frankly adj
mitted the concern Of the administra-
ton for the right of American capital
wall Street, to invest in European
countries. AS an excuse for the
shameful cancellation of Mussolini's
debt, while not relieving the workers
and impoverished farmers of this
country, rather increasing their
burden. Coolidge said, "Our national
treasury is not in the banking bust
ness"
He neglected to state that the ma
tional treasury under Mellon is used
to aid the private banking business
Of Melons associates in the game of
high finance in this country.
The speech, for the most part, was
the customary decoration day drivel
about the spirit of Lincoln, Washing
ton and the other national heroes.

LOCAL PENNEY
STORE MANAGER
GOING TOLAREDO

1t is understood here that the
near future will see the transfer
of R. L. Champion, popular man
ager of the local j. c. Penney
store, to Laredo, Texas, where he
will open a new Penney institution.
This distinction is given Mr.. Cham
pion in recognition for his good
work here, where he has been sig
nally successful.
Entering the Penney organization
here from Gallup, New Mexico, Mr..
Champion has had a meteoric rise
to his present position of manager,
and during the two years of his
supervision the stores business has
increased greatly.
Notwithstanding the responsible.
itys of his business career, Mr..
Champion has had time to enter
into many other activities, and his
work in Rotary club affairs and all
civic welfare organizations has
made him a host of friends. His
absence will be felt keenly.
Succeeding Mr.. Champion as
store manager here is L. w. James,
for many years an "ace" in the G.
H. McKellip force at Phoenix.

LEGION
BACKS MOVE
FOR HOSPITAL
FOR W|NSLOW

With the best interests of the
community ever before it, the
American Legion, last Tuesday
night took steps to inaugurate a
movement for public institution
that will be of untold benefit to
the city.
There is no doubt in the minds
of everyone that there should be
hospital here, that the town is
large enough to support one, and
that it is one of the greatest needs
of Winslow. The American Le-
gion is heartily in favor of a hos
pital for Winslow and has announc-
ed it will support the movement
to the best Of it's ability.
The Legion realizing the magni-
tude of the undertaking, expects
to elicit the aid of every other or
ganiZation in the city
A committee of three, A r. Hip
koe, G. G. Meyer, and A. r. Klein
dienst, was appointed by Command
er Darling to work up plans for
permanent organization to carry
on the work.
1t is expected that, with the aid
of everyone interested, an associa-
tion or stock company can be
formed, but this feature will be de-
cided in the near future, it was
announced.
With the necessity of a hospital
here and realizing how much suf-
fering it would relieve, aside from
lives that could have been saved
in the past, had a hospital been To-
Gated in the city, there is no doubt
that sufficient interest can be
aroused so that a modern building
can be constructed and equipped
that will be sufficient for the needs
of the city for many years to come,
the Legionaires declare.
The committee has already start
ed work on preliminary data re-
latiye to the proposed hospital
movement and a meeting OF prom
inent local citizens including the
doctors of the city will be held
sometime this week to formulate
program for carrying out the hos
pital plan.

gas for all household necessities,
and there is no doubt, the city
officials believe, but what the peo-
pie will respond to the new i'm
provement and take advantage of
the opportunity to make use of
gas for every necessity, for cook
ing, lighting and heating of homes
and business offices. At present
there are in the neighborhood of
$50 users and it is hoped that at
least 900 out of a possible 500
users in the city will take advan-
tage of the opportunity of real city
comfort and convenience as pro-
vided by the peoples gas plant.
The, new plant marks a step for
ward in civic Improvement not
equalled by any other city the size
of Winslow and city officers and
other public spirited citizens who
have sponsored and backed the
municipal enterprise feel proud of
the achievement which will not
only prove a source of benefit in
home comforts and convenience,
but will eventually prove revenue
producing unit and not a taxation
burden.
Mayor Douglas and members OF
the city council are to be congra-
tulated on the success of the new
plant construction for which they
have given their time and labor
during the past year.
