SCHOOL BODY IN
THREAT TO HIT
AT POOR HOMES
Talk of Abolishing Baths
and Lunches

The doing away with baths and PEN
ny lunches for the school children Of
the poor was the threat held over the
heads of the councils committee on
schools at it's latest hearing. julius
F. Mmietanka, acting president of the
school board, waived aside as unim-
portant the error" of $3,SO0,O0O in
the boards estimate of 1927 expens-
es. H. H. Bracket, the boards aud
itor, admitted that the board would
close the year with surplus of 49,
100000. Yet Smietanka insisted at
the hearing that unless the board got
it's increase in the tax rate it would
be necessary to curtail in some de-
partments, mentioning baths and pen
ny lunches specifically.
Margaret Haley, of the Chicago
Teachers Federation, insisted, as she
has for so long, that the rate should
not be increased but the assess
ments made with more reference to
real values of property. Her expert
ence is that an advance in rate means
a lowering of assessments on the
property of the rich, leaving the man
or woman who is taxed on small
home or some household goods to
bear all of the increased burden.
Meanwhile the committee is still
holding UP confirmation of the may
or's four appointments to the board,
with Alderman Arvey, "the irrepres-
sible administration short stop"
threatening to take the matter from
the committee to the floor of the
council.

School Board Steals
Miss Haley's Thunder
in Asking Mandamus

The Board Of Education has filed
petition with the Illinois supreme
court for writ of mandamus that
would compel the Cook County board
of review to revise it's assessments.
More than a billion and half of as
sessments are involved.
This is a mere duplication of a
similar petition filed by joint COM
mittee of two of the teachers fedora
lions, and which was refused by the
supreme court. The court may or may
not, at its discretion, take jurisdiction
in such matter, and, in the case of
the teachers, referred them to the
courts of Cook County for redress.
Why the school board should expect
any other outcome to its move is not
apparent.
Undoubtedly the board has been
dashed into this action by the long
fight which the Chicago Teachers
Federation has put up on the tax ques-
ton. The board is now stealing some
of Margaret Haley's thunder. The
board is under fire and is making a
theatrical gesture before the public.

ONLY ONE PAPER BESIDES |
DAILY WORKER HAS STORY |
OF LIBERTY PICTURE FAKE |

Altho every newspaper in the
country received the story of the
exposure of Liberty magazine print
ing fake pictures to stir enmity
against Mexico, the only newspaper
besides The, DAILY WORKER to
publish the exposure is the Los An
geIes Record. Every other news
paper hushed up the story.
Liberty published a picture of
large crowd of people before the
Bank of Mexico, and titled IL: "Cath-
oIics withdrawing deposits as pro-
test against the government" Mex
lean embassy officials investigated
and found that the picture was
taken when the bank opened, and in
stead of withdrawing money the peo-
Pile were depositing it. The picture
was taken in September, 1925. An
other picture claimed to show poems
hanged as a result Of religious riots,
was proved to be a picture of ban
dts hanged two years ago.
Liberty is owned BY the Mccor-
mick interests, who control the CHI
cago Tribune, and have large inter-
ests in Mexico.

Amateur Checka Holds
Back Mob at Novy Mir
Masque on Christmas

A hastily organized checka held back
crowd of over 1000 people Saturday
night at Mirror Hall, where a masque-
rade was being given for the benefit
of Novy Mir, Russian Communist
Party weekly. But 1t was we'll dis
posed mob, clamoring for admission
after the hall was already so full that
the sale of tickets had been stopped
at nine O'Clock. 1t was the biggest
affair of the season. The checka held
the fort till 1890 against crowd that
pressed, in spite of numerous warn
ings that there was not even standing
room inside. Then, as a result Of the
Christmas spirit, a general amnesty
was declared that the disappointed in
vaders were allowed to go peacefully
home-or elsewhere.
Many interesting Mosques partici-
pated in the march at midnight. Com
rade ]. Louis Engdahl of The DAILY
WORKER, Anatoly Pokatilov, Rus

in awarding prizes to the best
Mosques.
The first prize was awarded to the
group representing the Novy Mir,

Women's Mutual Aid Society, repres-
enting the new and the old world. The
other prizes were distributed to the
Sacco-Vanzetti group, the Woman Citi-
zen, and the Youthful Soldier Of the
Revolution. A very good group was
represented by the Novy Mir and
DAILY WORKER worker correspond
ents, but as they were partly the or
ganizers of the affair, no prize was
awarded to them.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Much has
been accomplished by Factory District
Nucleus No. 1, subsection 5B, in the
last few weeks. For example, certifi-
Gates to Keep The DAILY WORKER
have been sold and subscriptions have
been solicited; Sacco and Vanzetti
meetings have been actively attended;
Communist literature has been sold;
collections have been made for the
Passaic strikers, the British miners,
and the International Ladies' Garment
Workers. Also private contributions
Of money and clothes have been So
licited by the comrades for the Pas
sale strikers. A considerable amount
of money has been collected by the
members Of the unit in their re-
spective unions for the Passaic strik-
ers.
An Exemplary comrsde.
One comrade in particular, the fac
tory district organizer, deserves
special mention in connection with
this work. Thru this comrades eff
forts he succeeded in securing for the
Passaic strikers a donation of $3.50
from his local of the furriers' union.

Congress Leaders Are
Breathing Easier as
Extra Session Fades

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Adminis-
tration leaders who fear an extra
session of congress are beginning to
breath little easier now as the work
Of congress is progressing as rapidly
as they expected. They feel that if
the same rate of progress can be main
tanned turnout the session as in the
first two weeks, there will be no dan
ger Of needing an extra session.
The only cloud is the possibility Of
the attempt to bar Frenk l.. Smith of
Illinois from taking his seat, If he
should appear and this may lead to
an extended debate. This may delay
action on important appropriation
bills. and in the last few weeks II
would be possible for a fllibuster to
be staged TO force en- extra session.

CONGRESS- SEEKS
SWEETEST WAY
TO GUST SMITH
All Agreed on Denying
Him Seat

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Whether
Senator-designate Frank L. Smith of
Illinois will be barred at the senate
door, or be allowed to present his
credentials and then expelled, APP
peared to be the only controversial
question concerning his status at the
capitol.
Party Lines Fade.
Both republican and democratic
leaders were agreed that the Illinois
senator-elect will not be permitted but
brief stay in his seat-if he is even
seated at all There is a sharp differ
ence of opinion concerning the proceed
ure to be followed, but apparently
none as to the ultimate expulsion of
the Illinoisan. Predictions were made
that not more than half dozen votes
will be cast in his favor in the final
showdown.
Want It to Be Proper"
Some republican and democratic
leaders believe it would establish a
bad precedent" for the senate to bar
Smith at the door. They contend that
any man appointed by the governor
of a state should be admitted tenn
porarily, even IL he is Immediately
thrown out.
The principal objective of the repub-
lican leadership is to accomplish
Smiths dismissal as quickly as pos
sible, so as to foretall possible extra
session of the SEVENTEEN congress
right after March 4.

bourgeoisie who are most interested,
directly or indirectly, in the continue

The illusion is entertained that the re-

What nonsense, not to see that both

the big bourgeoisie and that real 20
litical differences, class conflicts, have
to be looked for within these two par
ties and not between them. The allies

from the continuation of the exploita-

American imperialists and has much

struggle against their joint enemy
American Imperialism. This section
is the American workers and poor

Less Words; More Deeds.
Less words and mUre deeds should
be the slogan for the independence
movement at the preent time. Capt.
ulation to Wall Street and the DEGREES

alternatives facing the movement.
The national revolutionary movements
and the proletariat and small peasant
masses of the world will be the allies
of the Filipino people in a real fight
against American Imperialism. China
has pointed the way. Chang Kai

recently said: 1--WE consider America
as Imperlalist because she has net
given the Philippines freedom" Can

It will be much closer when the work
