bravest and most loyal workers in the
labor movement in America.
The delegation asks for way out
of this situation. l think there is only
one way out: leave room for conflict
of opinion and of tendencies within
the American trade unions, give up
the reactionary policy of expelling the
Communists from the trade unions,
and give the working class of Amer
lea an opportunity of making free
choice of these tendencies; for Amer
lea has not yet had its November
Revolution and the workers there
have not yet had the opportunity of
making their final selection from

that the anthracite has. lost its mar

For the last year the Philadelphia

been running part time basis of two
and three days a week. Yet the men
are making a brave attempt to help
the soft coal miners by gathering

The men are sending no cash, as
none is on hand.

will find that such a condition has
not existed since around 1907, and

because of its weakened condition
and the success which the coal
operators are meeting with in the
soft coal region because Of John l..
Lewis.
The left wing must take this into
consideration, and must Immediately
start a move to bring together the
miners that are working even part
time now, and the miners who are
entirely unemployed and demand
relief from the municipal authorities
and from the state government.
Steps must be Immediately taken to
do something to relieve the miners
of their suffering thru the organiza-

will meet with resistance by the
mine workers officials, who are
still harping on the question of the
fake cooperative conference which
was held in the anthracite region,
bat which, as the mine workers can
see, has brought no results.

Many may visualize a gangster as
the poor unfortunate, lurking in the
dark alleys shabbily clothed; but this
is not the case with the well known
Chicago types The business of boot
Logging, gambling and capitalist poll
tics has become lucrative. 1t seems
to be conducted by syndicates, each
established within certain territories,
the acting chiefs appearing glittering
as Christmas trees; gems sparkling
from ties, cuffs, belt buckles and fin
gers. Their plans are often mapped
out in the high class hotels and the
necessary connection with higher-ups
usually we'll taken care of.
General CapOne.
"Scarface Al" Capone at the mo-
ment seems to be the chief figure.
His syndicate claims control over
Cicero. His predecessor, John Torrio,
discovered this idyllic spot and made
it a powerful base of operations.
John Torrio got shot from ambush
but lived and left the city. Dion
O'Banion, one of his lieutenants, had
previously revolted and established
himself on the North Side. He was
killed in his flower shop, had sump-
tuous funeral and couple Of scores
of killings followed.
Control over the North Side terri
tory gangland is now said to be
claimed by the George Bugs" Moran
Bertche Skidmore Zuta syndicate
while the South Side territory is
claimed by the Frank McErlane-Saltis
gang. Recently it was said that
George Bugs" Moran had made an
alliance with "Scarface Al" Capone
and one of the latter's lieutenants,
Joseph Aillo, revolted, some killings
following.
George Bugs" Moran in private life
is wholesale grocer. One of the re-
Gently killed bootleggers, by name
of Ferro, in private life was "suc-
cessful" manufacturer.
The Big Coliseum Catch.
A few weeks ago orders went out
for cleanup on the gangsters, The
hunt started and quite few of the
prominent ones were rounded up and
, arrested. There were Peter Genna,
one of two survivors of six gangster
brothers, "Polack Joe" Salts. Of the
South Side syndicate and others.

The Judge Is Easy.


At the big Walker-Berlenbach prize
fight at the Coliseum about so were
caught and arrested. Prominent
among them were Frank McErlane,
William Channel, hophead, Jack Gus
ick. Dave Earsman, Joseph Montana
and Pat Sullivan. The police swore
they were all going to remain in the
iug-but what happened? The next
day all those who had any real gang
ster standing were released, 81 IN all,
on writs of habeas corpus issued by
about 10 different judges. One of
them, Judge Eller, was so eager to
help that he held court right in. his
home in order to more speedily issue
the writ.
And so it goes. The Chicago gang
sters have completely become part
and parcel of the capitalist political
system. 1t matters little which poll
teal CLIQUE renders the direct assis-
tance. But. charges have often been
made of the direct implication of

that Mayor Thompson is part of the

TOHN WILLARD'S new opus,
y Sisters" presented by Messrs.
Shubert at the Klaw Theatre is an
other of those plays that mean little
enough except as a sign of the times.
Little Ann is just out of college,
where she learned nothing that can
be sold in the labor market. Sister
Gwendolyn, married to an unem-
ployed professional man, advises her
to take up prostitution, suitably dis
guised. Sister Mary, living out of
wedlock with rich man, advises
marriage and the proverbial cottage
Ann can't decide, and the argument
seems to turn in favor of sin, until
a third possibility becomes more ap-
parent, namely free love match
with a Eich man, whose wife won't
either live with him or give him a
divorce The unemployed pro-
fessional man argues weakly against
it until his mouth is stopped with a
$4,000 a year job from the rich man.
Then the Deus ex Machina, old re-
liable, comes along and bumps off the
rich mans supernumerary wife in an
auto accident.
There is no reason for seeing the
play, and the only reason for hearing
it is the fact that the conversation
of Gwendolyn (Roberta Arnold) is
one unbroken chain of epigrams, some
of them new.
The social significance, if any, is in
the fran4ness with which the white
collar and middle class characters
fully seconded by the audience) flirt
with the idea of immortality though
of course, there is the usual hypo-
critical saving of the old standards
in the end.-V. S.

The unemployment situa o n
thruout the whole anthracite is very
serious. At least $4,000 miners in
District l are out of work, and the
others are mostly working part time.
The Hudson Cool Co. is shut down.
1t employed around 10000 miners.
,All other companies are working
only part time. In District 9 and
seven similar situations exist. 1t
has come to such a point among the
miners that at Treverton they spon-
taneously organized protest meet
ing attended by virtually the entire
town. The meeting was held Dec Is.
The majority of the male workers
are employed at the North Franklin
colliery of the Philadelphia & Read
ing Coal & Iron Co. They have filed
protest to the head of the COM
pany, demanding that something be
done, and pointing out that for the
first two weeks in December they
have only worked one day.
Meeting Sought.
81 "A committee has been appointed
ito arrange meeting with A. j. Ma
loney president of the above com:
pany, and present their demand. On
top of the unemployment and suffer
ing, which is reality, the Philadel-
phia & Reading Coal & Iron Co sends
out letter to all of it's employees
asking them. to speed up production.
Here are some phrases from the
letter which was sent to all the
miners: eve have soil product and
we must bring it above the earth as
.cheaply and as efficiently as pos
sible." ''The next problem is the as
surance of a steady supply at price
which will be fair to the public"

"Scarface Al" Capone withdrew to
establish his headquarters at the Hill
side Tavern, just outside the county
line There, it was said, he summoned
police officials ard politicians to dis
cuss the situation. There was alto
gether too much publicity to suit the
higher-ups and Capone left for Los
Angeles, however, to return imme-
diately. And he is now back in Chi
cago despite the empty police threats
that he would not be allowed to enter.
But these are merely small incl
dents compared to the exposures made
by rival capitalist political factions in
the 1926 primaries and the elections
following. The crime issue was made
one of the big issues. The city's an
nual crime bill was claimed to be
about $60,000,000. The immenseness
of this sum can easier be understood
in connection with pictures published
at that time showing elaborate ban
quets given by gangster syndicates IN
loop hotels, one by the Genna brothers
and one by Diamond Joe" opposite.
At both, well known gangsters and
capitalist politicians were present and
at one of them States Attorney
Grove and Senator Deneen were the
main speakers.
Several election workers were shot
and not less than 218,217 names were
stricken from the registration lists
because of being fraudulently entered.
Shortly thereafter one assistant
states attorney, McSwiggen, was
killed in Cicero-a murder which has
since remained unsolved and nothing
done to clear it up. Evidently there
are some specific reasons.
Efforts To Connect Unions.
During this recent gang war the
daily capitalist papers have been
working overtime to focus attention
upon the trade union movement, en-
deavoring to make it a part of this
general war situation. So-called labor
terrorists and "racketeers," function
ing on behalf of fictitious unions and
jobbers' protective associations were
used as the connecting link.
Bombings and killings were ex-
posed, some very real, and "conspira-
cies" between employers and union
men have been discovered. A situa-
ton similar to the one existing i'm

mediately preceding the Lands
Award is being created, suggesting
that a new attack upon the trade
unions may be in preparation.
Day by day terrorist acts by some
organization representatives or other
are announced; all are Jumped under
the general name labor union. For
instance the Bathtub Cleaners
"Union" is said to claim recognition.
Candy jobbers are said to force mer-
chants to join. Butchers, bakers and
fish dealers Gall the small merchants)
are said to have formed associations
to control prices under leadership of
the notorious Make Eisen. Physi-
clans claim to be terrorized to join
an economic league. The shooting of
a member of the junk peddlers union
was played up. Yet notorious gang
ster who was accused of the killing
was acquitted.
A Union" Bomb.
The president and business agent of
the Bootblacks' Protective Association
were recently found guilty and con-
victed for bomb explosion. This is
an outfit claiming to be union and
actually affiliated to the A. F. of l..
but taking in as members only the
owners of the shoe shining parlors.
Not only is all this paraded as evil
dence against trade unions, making
no distinction between corrupt Off
Gals and union members, but claims
are made of conspiracies in restraint
of trade between unions and employ
ers, a number of unions being listed.
The purpose is obvious.
Surely the Chicago trade unions
will again have to meet these kind
of attacks, whether they fully mater
ialiZe at this moment or later. Gang
sterjsm prevailing within the move
ment should be rooted out complete
ly; it has nothing in common with
trade unionism. The corrupt officials
should go with it. The only real eff
fective defense of working class or
ganization in any attack by the bosses
and the capitalist politicians is the
mobilization of the rank and file
masses. Given militant leadership all
attacks will come to naught.

Especial To The DAILY wORE<ER.)
By ARNE SWABECK.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-Every once in
while Chicago is stirred by the
heavy detonations from some outburst
of its famous gang wars; from pre-
tended war of law and order upon
the gangsters or from some killings
or bombings having alleged or actual
union connections.
That the gangs of the Chicago I'M
derworld at times carry on active war
fare against one another with modern
implements is a we'll known fact.
When the forces of claw and order"
herald new war upon the gangsters
it may safely be assumed in advance
that some crooked politicians are
either trying to put over deal or
else merely making pretense OF the
legal machinery existing to- suppress
s'lawless" elements.
Frequent Wars.
These kind of wars recur from time
to time. Some culprits are caught IN
the dragnet to be Immediately re-
leased through political influence
with no change in the situation.
1t must be remembered that these
gangs of the underworld are a very
important part of the capitalist cleo
ton machinery serving for purposes
of stealing votes, stuffing ballot
boxes, miscounting, intimidating and
shooting. But when the daily capt.
talist papers make a conscious, per-
sistent effort to link the whole thing
up with trade union activities, lump
ing gangsters, so-called racketeers of
fictitious unions and actual trade
unionists together, then the real pur-
pose becomes clear.
Regular Thing.
This is what is happening now.
Gang wars come and go. Wars upon
gangsters come and go. Nerves are
set little bit on edge but it is all
part of regular capitalist politics.
Yet it is being cleverly manipulated
so as to be directed entirely against
unionism. Had the trade union Of
ficialdom not been so much involved
in capitalist gangster politics such
manipulation would hardly be posi-
bic.

GIVING SHIPS AWAY?

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 20
Easier terms were arranged for sales
of ships by revision voted by the
shipping board here. This decision
is in line with a policy to build the
merchant marine on a large scale to
supplement the navy, and to prevent
government ownership in field
where private profit could be made.
