In and Around Miners Meeting

The descendant of philosophers
broadened his smile. He understood
perfectly.
"Oh, you inspector
He hurried over to the left hanC
wall and came back with the restau-
rant license.
"Sure we got papers" he said as
he held it up for the gaping kIans'
man to gaze upon.
A baffled look began to spread over
the sharp features of the veteran OF
hundred nightgown parades.

papers?"
eve don't sell papers, boy sell pa
pers. He got all kinds-News,
Times, Star-you want paper?"
The klansman clutched the counter
railing and drew long breath. The
crowd of customers stopped eating
to listen.
"Are you an American citizen?
Have you got citizen papers? Uncle
Sam protects you if you are an Amer
lean citizen"
Where? Here?"
"No, if you 60 back to Greece,

lection. Cops here eat all the time,

"If you go to China or Mexico
Uncle Sam protects you if you are a
citizen"
"Not going to China, going to stay
here. This is good country"
That's what l say. This is a good
country and you ought to be an
American.
Cant be American, I'm Greek"
The crowd waited for the klans-
mans reply, but he was thru. He
swallowed audibly a couple of times
and then went out. He tried to slam
the door but it had one of those slow
closing devices. Even inanimate OBJ
jects were against the government
and its loyal defenders in this alien
haunt.
The Greek smiled another slow
smile as he poured some gravy on
the roast beef hash that was begin
ming to develop a dry crust.
The customers resumed eating.
Natalie Gomez, DAILY WORKER
agent, was informed by six-foot
sergeant-at-arms, on the first day of
the convention, that she could not sell
her wares inside the convention hall.
She questioned the authority of her
informant, much to his embarrass-

Powers Hapgood, the slim young
miner from Cresson, Pa, who has
been slugged twice by machine plug
uglies in three days-once in hotel
and once on the convention floor-has
the finest collection of bruises out
side of the prize ring.
His facial adornments consist of
abrasions, swellings, cuts and scrat-
ches. By some miracle he has avoid
ed getting black eye but the con-
yention is still in it's youth.
The progressive delegation seems
to take on new life every time Hap
good gets slugged. Noticing this, Joe
Angelo, the astute young Italo-Lithu-
anian from Springfield, was heard to
remark:
IF we can get Powers Hapgood
beat up at least once day we may
trim the Lewis machine yet"
The strong-arm squad of the
Lewis machine have been casting
longing eyes on Pat Toohey. The
Corkonian knobs which protrude from
the visage of this young anthracite
miner seem to have attracted their
attentions as spots which would look
we'll if decorated with knuckle marks.
AS Pats friends are also curious
to see how he would look with black
and blue color scheme superimposed
On his coppery freckles, there is a
good chance of his being able to SYM
pathize with Hapgood in a much more
understanding manner.
An individual bearing all the marks
of klansman was much excited the
other day in a Greek cafeteria, where
many rank and file delegates eat. He
had been reading about China, Mex
leo and Nicaragua and how Coolidge
was going to see that no American
lives or property would be molested
by backward peoples.
The klansman was highly in favor
of all this providing some other pa
triots were going to take care of the
molesters. But he intended to see
that the rear of the armies of demo-
crary were safe from the alien men,
ace. So he glared at the swarthy
servitor behind the cafeteria counter
and inquired sternly:
care you citizen?"
With slow Levantine smile the
harried one replied in a mild tone:
''No, I'm Greek"

and was accommodated.
This imposing parsonage was sat
ed at desk and upon sight of the
culprit met her smile with a frowr

Lewis manner.

paper in here" he said.
"Why not" said Natalie, "you al
low non-union papers in here"
That's different" said the chief,
"they don't attack our officers"
But" said Natalie, "you can't stop
me selling outside and the same arti-
cies will be in the papers if l sell
them outside as would be in them if
sold them inside and they will not
have any worse effect on your mem
bers if | sell them inside"
The chief sergeant-at-arms opened
his mouth and gazed into the vast
reaches Of Tomlnson hall. 1t was
evident he was trying to isolate the
poisonous germ Of Communist propa-
ganda that was undoubtedly con-
cealed somewhere in this remark. He
remembered that someone had told
him that young girls were often the
most dangerous type of Communist.
He moved back from the desk
which had made a four-inch dent in
his abdomen, and said:
'You get out of here"
The DAILY WORKER agent sells
papers four times a day in front of
the convention hall-morning, noon,
afternoon and evening. But every
time the chief sergeant-at-arms pass
es the small figure bundled up against
the cold, damp indianapolis atmos-
phere, he throws back his shoulders
and steps past proudly.
Single-handed he has foiled another
Communist plot.
Is there some occult tie between
cafeterias and chiropractors
1t may be difficult to prove its
existence, but it is fact that cafe
terias and chiropraetors abound in In
dianapolis. So do officers of inter-
national and national unions.
The possible connection between the
three is a worthy subject for investi-
cation by The New Leader, altho the
inclusion of union officials may make
it smack too much of unbridled radi-
calism for the official organ of the
socialist party to handle.-B. D.

that does not treat its readers to some
sort of contest. To be different
we'll have one, too.
We find that in spite of its ira
ditional significance, the new "New

aesthetic taste. The Board of Man
agement and the Editorial Staff of
the Colyum have therefore decided to
inaugurate with this issue a national
title contest. Ten dollars worth of
books will be awarded for the best
title submitted before April 18th. The
names of the judges will be announ-
ced in a subsequent issue.
The NEW BOLCOMS will appear
only once or twice week until we
get enough cooperation from our pro-
letartists to make it daily feature.
Two prizes will be awarded each
month for the best contribs. The
February awards are: first prize,

Big Interests Seek
Control Over Power
Plants in Northwest
(By A Worker Correspondents

(By A Worker Correspondent
SALTWATER, Minn.--All the
water power rights available in the
northwest are being taken over by the
large power and light trusts and COM
panies.
R. F, Peck, vice-president and gen.
eral manager of the Northern States
Power Co., quite frankly predicts still
more mergers during the present year
in the following statement sent stock
holders:
Continued extensions and mergers
of public utility systems, the further
claiming together of small towns,
large cities, states and sections of the
United States into vast super power
systems, notable expansion in the
uses of electricity all over the coun-
try, and great gains to American
prosperity in consequence of all this,
appear to R. F. Pack, vice-president
and general manager of your COM
pany, as an irresistible trend of 1927
and the year to follow.
9 so great have been the public
benefits from the mergers that began
to attract special attention in 1926
Mr.. Pack said recently, as well as
the advantages from the standpoint
of capital invested, that there now is
every reason to presume that the
movement of gathering up small units
into groups, and these into still larger
groups and systems, and these COM
ing into unified control through great
holding companies, is impelled by an
economic force that can never stop
until the United States becomes one
vast network of inter-connected power
plants and distributing stations of
companies either consolidated, affil-
lated or held together by common
ownership"
While these mammoth power and
light trusts continually seek larger
profits they never consider plans to
give poor people cheaper rates. When
people own their. power and light
plants, lower rates for the whole peo-
pie is one of the first questions con-
sidered.
In Saltwater the Northern States
Power Co. charges IL cents k. W.
hrs. used for housekeeping. Homer
I. Bone of Tacoma, Wash, however,
reports a rate of liz cents k. W. hrs.
used, made by the city-owned plant.
Tacoma also gives rate Of IL cent
k. W. hr. for house heating. More
than 2,700 homes are using this heat.
Trusts run their plants for profit
while the people operate them for
service. The question asked by many
is "Why not run all plants in all
branches Of production for service q"

The Direct Primary

The state Of Maine last Tuesday voted to main
tain the direct primary. Proponents Of q return to the
old convention system met inglorious defeat, and edi-
torisl writer's in the North herald the Maine election
ms indicating that any effort 10 abolish the direct pri-
mary in any state will meet q similar fate.
Maine has the advantage of having two well or
xaniEed parties. The natural result has been a temper
Ing Of the primary campaigns, and the general election
campaigns are fought out upon the basis Of national
issues instead Of personalities.
In most of the Southern states, where one party
control has been the accepted political practice for over
q half century, political issues are submerged under
n deluge of personalities. The general election has no
real significance to the average voter where one-party
control Il established. The only interest eenters in
the primaries in which the candidates are selected, and
M no great national issues are at stake the primary
has degenerated to the point where il has become
merely q clearing house for personalities, villification
and abuse. Occasionally a state issue is injected, but
this is almost invariably 50 completely submerged by
che filth which persists in rising to the surface dur
ing each pre-primary campaign that is soon lost 70
sight.
The great majority az Texas voters are not in
svmpathy with the direct primary system. They have
come to dread the biennial party elections. The
business interests Of the state are forced to sustain
heavy losses as a result Of the primary battles between
ambitious politicians whose principal claim to fame
and political preferment lies in their ability to throw
mud. There are no real issues in these pr~e-primary
campaigns, and there is never a sound. logical reason
for those months Of turmoil which do irreparable in
Jury to the reputation and business interests Of the
state
Those who are proposing a return to the old con-
yention system are not reactionaries-they are pro-
rressives. Texas has given the direct primary q thor
ough trial. From the time the first primary was held
down to the present day, each succeeding campaign has
served to impress upon the Texas electorate the utter
folly OF such a system in a state under one-party con-
troll. Having given the system a trial and having
proved that il is not adapted 20 conditions obtaining
IN the state. progressive leaders are almost unanimous
IN demanding a return TO the old convention system in
which party differences could be threshed out with
out disturbing the foundation upon which the finsn-
cial and industrial development Of the state is estab-
Iished.
Those who hail the Maine vote as indicating that
none Of the states would welcome a return to the old
rystem are mistaken. Conditions In Maine are in no
~ay similar TO those in the South. and the political
machinery which may Be best adapted 70 conditions
in that state do not necessarily fit the needs Of other
