The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-01-26
By FRED HARRIS.

Having established ourselves in
New York, we are now looking around
to get acquainted. Thus, your reporter
is tramping the streets, asking every
one what he or she thinks Of The
DAILY WORKER, whether there Is
any news to report, and whether they
may be depended upon to become con-
slant readers of The DAILY WORK
Err.
Along st. Marks place, at No. &c,
there IS the resort known as "The
Tub" a sort Of "last chance" place,
maintained by Mr.. Zero, otherwise
known as, Mr.. Urban LedOux. If
modesty is a virtue, then the "Tub,"
its rropre.ors and patrons may be
classed az Icing virtuous to the fullest
extent Of its meaning.
Still Obscure.
It is said, that Zero" pawned his
watch on Oct. 10, Of last year, to have
funds with which to establish the
"Tub." AT any rate, despite its mod
esty and obscurity (literally as well
as symbolically) the place is doing
business "as usually" 1t serves three
meals day, and all who have a
nickel, may partake of the yiands,
plentifully served in a one-course
meal, (soup, coffee and bread).
Should any estethe's who might per
chance be guests at the Tub, find fault
with the simplicity and lack of artist
ny in the arrangement and quality of
the paraphernalia (silver and table
cloth), then they can satisfy their de-
sire for art By glancing at sign on
the wall, which is immortalizing
zero's philosophy. Beautiful words
they are.
Good Words at Least.
The pleasure of reading them al
most compensates for all that has
been denied us. For anyone, wishing
to write biography of Zero, give
here an exact replica of this inscrip-
ton, to wit: ITO bring a greater
measure of love and beauty into the
life of the long denied" was as
sured by the manager of the Tub, that
the terms "love" and beauty" are to
be interpreted in their fullest sense
and meaning.
BY the way, the manager Of the
Tub is Mr. Daniel F. O'Bnen, hobo,
philosopher and former editor Of the
Hobo News" printed in st. Louis.
At present he is zero's chief lieuten-
ant, and as such arranges the bill of
fare of the kitchen. Being also an
artist, he is now planning dramatic
play entitled "The Hobo" to be staged
in the near future. What it will lack
in beauty will be offset by its genu-
mess; for the actors are to be ex
clusively hoboes. The play will SYM
bolize a hobo's protest against unjust
society

viii Rogers On Mexico

VIII Rogers, the humorist, sent
a message to the New York Times
yesterday dealing with the Mexican
situation. 1t sums up very nicely
Mr.. Coolidge's latest statement. 1t
reads in part:
"Mr Coolidge says he is not go
ing to submit the Mexican trouble
to arbitration. He says he feels so
sure we are right, there is no one
he would trust to decide it in our
favor.
In other words, Mr.. Coolidge
doesn't have to prove we are right.
He admits it.

Damage Suits.
The first of the damage suits to be
brought by those whose civil rights
were violated in the Passaic textile
strike was filed this month by Nor
man Thomas, who was arrested last
April in his attempt to test the Riot
Act" The u. S. Supreme Courts re-
fusal to re-hear the case of August
Dorchy marks the end of the spec
tacular attempt of the former leaders
of District No IA of the united mine
workers to break the Kansas Indus
trial Court law. The picketing Of
shops not on strike as means of or
ganizing non-union workers is for
hidden by New York City judges;
nine unionists are held in contempt
Of court for violating an injunction
forbidding such picketing.
Troops In Indiana.
Civil liberty issues were also prom
inent in industrial conflicts in In
diana, where state troops were called
on strike duty at non-union mines.
N the Rhode Island textile strike
troops were used also. Hundreds of
strikers were arrested while picket
ing in the fur workers and garment
workers strikes in New York City,
the authorities evading court test
Of the drastic anti-picketing injunc-
lions by making arrests on disorderly
conduct charges. The police brutality
against strikers in these and the
paper box workers strikes called
'orth protests from public-spirited
citizens.
No New California Cases.
Prosecution Of workers under the
state criminal syndiealism and sedi-
ion laws has practically ceased. In
California, where most Of the prose-
buttons have occurred since 1919, no
new cases have been reported since
1924, and no cases are pending at
his time. Fifty-five criminal syn
1icalism prisoners serving sentences
California prisons were released in
1926 either on parole, by expiration
81 sentence or on reversal Of convic-
ton. Only one person entered prison
under that law in 1926. He was con-
victed in 1920. Four of the five syn
dicalist prisoners in Washington were
released during the year.
Jail Communists.
In Pennsylvania alone has there
been a continuance of prosecutions
for opinions. Two convictions OF
Workers Party members under the
state sedition act took place, and po-
lice raids on homes and headquarters
OF members in the steel districts re-
suited in several arrests. The only
other sedition conviction in 1925 was
that of Anthony Bimba in Massachu-
sets, who was charged also with vio-
alton OF the state blasphemy act
)assed in 1897.
The number OF state political pris-
,ners on January /, 1927, is 10 as
ompnred with IT on January !, 1925.

CURB ON OFFICERS
IN ITALIAN ARMY
Dismissal if They Fail to Be
Silent on Political Issues
May Be Fate.
BY JOHN GUNTHER.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1897.
ROME, February 26.--Two concur
rent events today indicate a reorganl.
zation of the Italian army, whereby
officers of the army and navy air
forces will be weeded out If they dis
obey the usual military precept to
keep silent on political matters.
The newspaper Popoio di Roma states
that the government is contemplating
curtailng the powers now held by
Gen. Badoglio, the present chief Of
staff, who is said to be Royalist in his
sympathies. The powers taken from
Gen. Badoglio will be transferred To
the minister of war--that is. Dictator
Mussolini. Gen. Badogiio will keep
his job and theoretical control of the
stan work Of the army. but win act
hereafter In conformity to the wishes
OF the minister Of war, according TO
Popolo di Roma.
The other event indicating army re-
organization is a royal decree, issued
February II and made public TODAY in
the official GaZette-tliough It has not
yet been published by the news
papers-which provides that under
certain conditions any officer. what
ever his branch of service. may be
dismissed "for reasons not prescribed
In existing laws" Such dismissals,
however. will be valid only after an
exhaustive inquiry and formal ap-
prevail by the council Of ministers
The committee charged with reor-
ganizing the army and navy will meet
shortly.

British throne. Why. It got so that
it was a disgrace to mention the name
of George Washington and Big Bill
Thompson, but the country is COM
Ing around to another point Of view
and now the Father of Our Country
and Big Bill stand pretty good
again." ...
Big Bill Thompson and William
Randolph Hearst. he declared, fought
the League of Nations to the death,
and that is why he agreed to come
down here and help push the Boulder
Dam bill. $50 when our friends wired
me that the West wanted our help
in this matter, l came down here to
do what I could" he said. But the
valiant Chicagoan failed to reckon
with an Arizona conducted filibuster
in the Senate.
Asked il he intended to carry the
anti British issue into the mayoralty
campaign. he said:
THE campaigns all over but the
shouting. But I'm going to preach
the doctrine of Americanism in every
campaign as long as I live. It's an
issue in the schools of Chicago right
now. We're trying to get rid of a
superintendent out there named Me
ANDREWS. who was imported from New
York in the first place.
Too Much British.
HE has allowed the League of Ma
tons literature to be distributed in
the schools. The textbooks laud the
British and picture the Boston tea
party as an unorgan iZed mob. It's a
terrible state of affairs" and the big
hand crashed loudly down on a table.
Foreign influences" he continued,
"have been responsible for all our
troubles in Mexico. They are respon-
sible for the trouble there today. The
whole question is oil. Let an Ameri-
can go to South America and try to
get an oil lease. Who do they run
up against? The British. Why, they
think they own the earth"
The Chicago delegation presents al
most as interesting a group picture OF
Chicago politics as the future mayor
does individually. There was William
Lorimer, who spent so much money
in getting elected to the Senate that
that body voted to unseat him. There
are politicians of high and low degree
including Sam Luzzo, head of the
Hodcarriers' Union, and Harry Jen
sen. president of the Carpenters Dis
busy button-holing officials of the
American Federation of Labor in be
half Of Boulder Dam--or wos it some
thing else? -.
Then there is Charles Wills, secre.
tary of the Cook County Wage Earn
ers' League, which boasts a member.
ship Of 100000. and Fred Mann
owner of Chicago's largest cabaret
Politicians, bankers, business men
sportsmen and all. they will climb
once more upon the Bill Thompson
rolling band wagon this afternoon and
turn back to Chicago.
What a figure he would cut in the
United States Senate" an admirins
follower sighed hopefully, gazing In
admiration at the "boss."
