DANCES
CHARGED

That the dances conducted
by local school fraternities,
composed of boys and girls of
high school age are drunken
orgies" and that more rigid
supervision should be main
tanned to keep the situation
from growing worse, was the
statement made by Mrs. W. g.
Alison 1921 Columbia Rd., to
the police today.
Mrs. Allison, the young mother
Of two boys, went into detail to
tell how she listened day after
day to tales Of drinking by boys
ranging from is to 81 years of
age. who visit her home and
finally, today, in sheer despera-
ton notifying the police, school
authorities and hotel managers in
an effort to right the condition.
Complains to Police
1.-The urge to make this move
kept growing on me, until today,
after hearing of the drinking and
goings-on at the affair conducted
by the Pi Phi fraternity at the
Willard Hotel last evening, i re-
solved TO see the thing through"
Mrs. Allison declared.
Mrs. Allison said she was unable
to understand the answer from the
Women's Police Bureau when she
reported her findings there today,
10 the effect that these were closed
dances and policewomen were re-
fused admittance.
THAT sounds silly to me. I'm no
policewoman, but / know / can get
in and I'm so utterly disguised with
the situation l am willing to try"
Continuing Mrs. Allison said:
81 am not ashamed TO have my
name used. am not a prude,
neither are those other women
about town who have registered
complaints in the past. They are
mothers. They understand and
everyone of them is behind me-"
IF the authorities are not famil-
lar with the facts, they are now.
Several fatal accidents lately have
been traced to these drinking fra
ternity dances. The mothers of
these unfortunate children under
stand.
Hotels Bar Dances
"I would hate to think the man.
agement of the hotels who rent
their bathrooms to these children al
low this condition to exist. / have
appealed to one with the result
that fraternity dances are barred
at his hotel in the future and I'll
continue until something definite
is agreed upon, il / must join the
police force myself"
''Since the school authorities say
it is outside their control. the police
must have it in charge"
Frank S. Hight. Willard Hotel
manager. said he did not know of
these conditions. but would look
into the matter Immediately.
Sergeant Milliken. of the Women's
Police Bureau, stated every effort
would he made to curb the practice
and asked for cooperation on the

Of the Bronx Best

a corner; five minutes later the
right out of the Bronx Workers

cheers.
Two minutes before the end of the
game the Bronx Sports scored a sec
ond goal, which was illegal accord
ing to the rules.
The Bronx Workers consented to
the scoring of this goal because they

LABOR VIGILANCE
in VANZETTI CASE
URGENTLY NEEDED

BOSTON. May 6.-Governor Fuller
is expected to name Frank A. Brooks,
chairman Of the state parole board
and Attorney General Arthur X.
Reading to investigate the Sacco-Van-
zetti case, as exclusively predicted in
the DAILY WORKER and Federated
Press week ago. A .semi-official
announcement to this effect circulated
in State House quarters today.
While it is declared that Brooks is
not too preiudiced against the two
workers, the attitude Of the attorney
general is expected to be generally
"hard-boiled."
The need for energetic working
class protest TO continue within the
next two months before the scheduled
burning Of Nicola Sacco and Bartolo-
meo Vanzetti is as urgent as ever.
The danger as seen now by friends
Of the condemned Italians is that labor
win have false sense of security
after Fuller appoints his investi-
gators.
A petition signed By G6 members
and the presiding officers Of both
houses in the Wisconsin legislature
asking for an early and impartial in
vestigation Of the case was received
by Fuller today.
Henry A. Huber, lieutenant gov
ernor, John w. Eber. speaker Of the
assembly, seven senator's and SO as
semblymen signed the petition.
The petition from Wisconsin, one
Of the thousands received by the Gov
ernor, the first to come from MEM
bers of an America legislative body.
Paul Loebe. president Of the Ger
man Reichstag, has cabled a plea for
amnesty. The Massachusetts branch
Of the A. r. Of L., a group Of promi-
nent Baltimoreans. including faculty
members at Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity and prominent churchmen, and
the 100000 members Of the Swedish
Federation Of Labor joined today in
the worldwide protest against the
scheduled electrocution.
A "nut'' letter from Chicago.
threatening murder of Fuller and his
family, was given wide publicity in
the local press.
Samuel Orr, New York attorney at
291 Broadway, in a telegram to Gov
ernor Fuller today demanded the inn
parchment of Judge Thayer. The
charges Of prejudice and class parti-
atty supported by five affidavits and
statement submitted to Fuller with
Vanzetti's appeal fully warrant the
unseating Of Thayer, Orr declares.
