Senator Says Public
Officers Wink at Law
Violations Every Day

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-United
States senator's, and nearly all other
public officials, federal and state,
openly wink at violations of the
prohibition law, Senator James w.
Wadsworth Republican, of New
York, declared in the senate today
in urging modification of the law.
Senators and other public officials
DO not differ from the great mass Of
human beings that make up our popu-
!ation,' asserted Wadsworth. "The
attitude toward the law peryades
every stratum Of society. If you will
but tell the truth, you will admit that
il is the prevailing national attitude.
Wadsworth declared that dozens Of,
senators have encountered evidence
"clear and incontrovertible,h of liquor
law violations, and yet did not report
it to the proper authorities.
"The bootleg trade he declared,
"has reached to every community in
the nation, its customers are counted
by the millions. AS a matter of fact,
the bootleg business is now one of the
largest in the country"
The speech provoked lively debate.
Senator Heflin DEMOCRACY Of Ala
bama, a dry, declared that "alI the
wet senator's in the senate could be
Put in taxi"
"Yes," retorted senator Bruce (De-
mocrat) of Maryland, wet. "and all
the senator's in the senate that ! have
seen decline a drink since I've been
here could be put in less cubic space
than that of taxicab."

Stewards Strike in
Panama Liner When
Placed on Deck Job

New York City, passengers arriv-
ing on the Panama Mail liner Col
umbia, from Central America,
damned the mess room crew be-
cause of 4 stewards strike between
Corinto and Balboa, which forced
the idle rich to do "their own house
work."
Captain Judson, captain of the
ship, ordered three stewards to
scrape iron pipes because the Col
umbia endeavored to cut expenses
in the deck department.
But they refused because this
work comes within the jurisdiction
of seamen.
So the captain locked them up in
the brig.
Their comrades of the stewards
department did not go on strike inn
mediately. They transferred their
strike "to the job however. The
day following the arrest of their
three comrades found the twenty
elgnC oLner stewards at table with
the soup.
While the passengers were eat
ing it the whole stewards crew
went on sympathetic strike and
the ships guests waited nearly an
hour for the next course. It did not
come so that they had to satisfy
their anger by damning the "un-
ruly red walters" That night
they prepared to take turns in serv-
ing meals.
When the Columbia reached Bal
boa Captain Judson had the whole
stewards staff arrested. They
were held in $500 bail, something
seafaring man can seldom fur
nish. Fourteen "scab" stewards
proceeded with the ship to New
York.

LETTERS FROM READERS

Editor, DAILY WORKER: The
coming of The DAILY WORKER to
New York City is big and impor-
tant event for the New York work
ers. At the present time all the re-
dictionary forces are combined to
fight the militants in the needle
trade unions. These reactionary
hureaucrats are acting the part Of
capitalist prevocateurs. In order to
hide the real issue involved they raise
the smoke screen of Communism. On
this basis the yellow Wall Street
press is giving all possible assistance
to these combined black forces.
The DAILY WORKER is the
only weapon in the hands of the
rank and file, and serves the purpose
Of bringing the matter before the
American masses. It is the duty of
the honest rank and file of all the
trades to do all in its power to es-
tablish The DAILY WORKER as a
real workingclass mass organ.
suggest to the editor of The
DAILY WORKER that column be
opened in which the readers Of the
naper can offer their suggestions for
lettering The DAILY Worker.
L. SISELMAN.
New York, Jan. "a.
P. S. | have several suggestions
in mind which ! will send in some
ether time.
Editor Of The DAILY WORKER:
It is a great satisfaction to know that
we are to have "The DAILY WORK
FIR" close at hand. If only it could
find the way into the home Of every
worker in the metropolitan area,
New York would be the center of a
rev world. May the editors be able
to strike the key that will win the
workers hearts and thereby guar
antee unbounded success for the pa
r.,r and its mission.

Introduce Resolution
To Postpone National

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Repre-
sentative Jacobstein. New York, In
PRODUCED a resolution in the house
today to postpone for one year the
application of the national origin sec
ton of the 1924 immigration Law.
Jacobstein said that this postpone

this method of fixing immigration

and a large increase in the British

the fact that the vacancies thus Gre

by younger officers with ambition
and incentive to apply themselves
