ANTI COOKING Law IN NEW YORK is SUPPORTED
BY THE RESTAURANT OWNERS

The restaurant owners Chamber of
Commerce and the restaurant owners
association, of which most of the big
restaurant owners are members, got
their heads together and decided that
they could make more profits by
forcing all the workers to board in
their restaurants. Realizing full we'll
that law for this purpose would not
harm them (the restaurant owners)
in the least due to the fact that
they have plenty Of money, scooped
INTO their Golfers by robbing their
employees, paying them one dollar
a day and up, for the twelve hour
work-day and a seven-day week.
They passed the buck to their lackies
in the local government and the law
was passed which proved very salts
factory to the restaurant owners.
The restaurant owners have always
dined in the best restaurants in the
city, which makes it unnecessary for
them to cook their own meals. If
they had to cook their own meals
they would either starve to death or
poison themselves trying to do the
cooking. They do not have to take
chances as the workers do. They
make us (the workers) support them
in luxury and at the same time force
us, with their insane and unjust laws
(Which can only be theirs, for no
worker, unless he is insane, will vote
for such foolish laws to cut their
throats) to eat out of their hand.
Such foolish laws as the afore-
mentioned only prove that the Work
ers (Communist) Party of America
is right. That the laws of the capt.
talist state are framed and passed
by the employers and enforced
against the workers. The workers
must abide by all such laws, while
at the same time the employing.
plunderbund robbers and grafters are
immune from all laws because they
make or have them made to
measure the way they want them.
Such laws should disgust and dis
courage all workers with the bosses
political machinery, the democratic
and republican parties. All workers
should support, build and strengthen
a party and a union of their own.
The Labor Party. Organize against
the bosses as they are organized
against you, before they put meter
on your nose and charge you by the
foot for the air you breathe.

(WOrker CORRESPONDENT

The New York Evening Graphic IN
directly admits that The DAILY
WORKER is right concerning law
and Justice. The Graphic speaking
editorially, on the evening Of Septem-
Der 16, 1927, had the following to
say pertaining to the anti-cooking
law:
Cooking Prohibited"
Word was spread yesterday that
the coming Legislature will mako no
move to modify the present ridiculous
laws that prohibit cooking in certain
types of apartments.
If this rumor is true, it shows just
how useless the Legislature has be-
come and indicates good reason for
keeping it permanently at recess.
Anti-cooking laws are not only
senseless but dangerous.
They are prohibition in it's most
virulent and Objectionable form.
They invade the home and make a
mockery out Of what little has re-
manned of personal so-called elderly"
Not Guest of Safety.
The question of safety is not in
volved in the present discussion.
No one could object to reasonable
regulation of stoves and other APP
paratus.
Such regulations could require gas
stoves to be inclosed in properly fire
PROCEED walls and could make pro-
vision for rigid inspection of innocu-
Gus electric stoves.
But safety is not an issue. There
must be no cooking EVEN IF IT IS
DONE WITHOUT FIRE.
What this is all about, and who is
benefiting from it should make an
interesting little story"
Well! Fort benefit Of the Editor
of The New York Evening Graphic.
here is the interesting Little Story"
The major part of New York's
population are working people.
These working people, due to the
average low rate of wages or salar
les are forced to reside in the ordinary
cheap hotel, furnished room, or in
the apartment houses. Many of
them in the past have had an op-
portunity to exist at a cost within
reach of their earning power. by
cooking their own meals in the furn-
ished room or the apartment house.

Berlin

| with Lenln, L1ebknecht, Luxembourg,
and other revolutionary leaders, and
has contributed no little to the de-
velopment of the III. international
and the Communist Parties in the
various countries. Already during
the world war the Youth International
joined Bolshevism, and at it's ". In
ternational Conference in Berlin In
1919 it adopted the name of Young
Communist International and joined
the Communist International.
Liebknecht the Founder.
Hence it is our own International,
the Young Communist International,
whose twentieth anniversary we are
now celebrating. 1t is our own In
ternational which has passed through
this glorious process of progressive
development, from Stuttgart in 1907,
through the difficult years of the i'm
perialist World War and the revolu-
ton, to our great Young Communist
international. And we may claim
with pride that the spirit animating
the Young Communist international
today is the same spirit which has
guided our international from the be-
ginning.
Who was the actual founder and
the soul of the Socialist Youth Inter
national? Karl Liebknecht. 1t was he
who gave his best work at that time
to the creation of an international or
ganization of the proletarian youth
unions, and it was he who, with his
appeals for anti-militarist action,
gave the newly founded Youth In
ternational and the Stuttgart Con-
gress its special character. The fight
against Imperialism, against the inn
perialist war, against militarism-
these were the main slogans of the
Stuttgart Congress.
The Stuttgart Congress did not
however neglect the other funda-
mental questions of the Youth move
ment. 1t drew up a fighting pro-
gramme against the economic ex-
ploitation of the juvenile workers in
Guiding number of fighting de-
mands which still form the basis of
the economic programme of the
Young Communist International. 1t
dealt with and laid down as the pur-
port and the basis of the work of So
cialist education to be accomplished
among the Youth, the active partici-
patton Of the Young workers in the
class struggle.
The principles laid down by the
Stuttgart Congress have been fully
developed by the Young Communist
international. In Stuttgart in 1907
there were only some few ten thou
sands OF organized Juvenile workers
represented, whilst the Young Com
munist international of today counts
approximately 21a million members.
AT the First international Youth Con-
ference only representatives of 13
countries met whilst today there is
scarcely country on the earth where
the Young Communist international
has not its Section.
The fighting capacity of the Youth
international has developed corre-
spondingly. In the economic strug-
gle, and in the sphere of trade union
work, our participation has increased
by leaps and bounds, and today the
Young Communist Leagues play an
important role in the trade union life
OF the different countries. In MANY
countries, in the Soviet Union and in
France for instance, they have ac-
tually taken over the lead in the trade
unions in all youth questions.

j. S. CHINESE FORCE
CALLED TOO SMALL
Lack of Sufficient Troops
Blamed in Possibility of
American Fatalities.

II there is u large loss of American
lives in China it will be due not mere
ly 10 the responsibility of the Chi
nese guerrillas, but to the inSufficiency
of American forces and the reluctance
of the missionaries to eVacuate danger
zones when so advised by the Depart
ment of State.
Harassed on the one side by the
critics who insisted that Marines and
naval forces should never be sent any
where until actual danger threatened
foreign lives, and held back by mis-
sionary advices here and there that
traditional friendship with the Chinese
would be better served by no military
demonstration, President Coolidge had
feared that exactly the kind of out
break which has occurred would sud-
denly upset the whole situation and
force his hand.
The President has been urged by
the military and naval advisers to
send more ships and Marines on the
theory that such a step would impress
the Chinese commanders of the Sc
rious purposes of the United States
Navy Men Disappointed.
1t has been felt here that the
American forces at Manila would be
near enough to reach China if the
situation developed a crisis. In other
words, the decision was to wait an
overt, act, believing that then public
opinion would justify almost any
measures to save American lives.
This viewpoint has been Il bitter dis
appointment To naval men. but the
criticism in Congress of the admin
istration's policy in Nicaragua, where
it was claimed no Americans were
in danger because none was killed,
has been fresh in the minds of ad-
ministration officials.
The old theory of the Navy has
been to dispatch men and ships to a
danger spot before any shots were
fired, so as to have ample facilities
for taking off refugees and also to
protect by heavy guns the Americans
concentrated in the ports. Great
Britain followed this policy by send
ing large force of Marines and
ships. In Washington there were
veiled criticisms of Britain's policy
at the time, as it was suggested that
British action would provoke the
Chinese. There is little disposition
to criticize the British today, but to
give them credit for far-Sightedness.
The biggest worry TODAY is that the
bombardment of the Chinese will lead
to the spread of reports not neces-
sarily emphasizing the original at
tacks on foreigners. but the number
of Chinese killed. This NAV lead to
reprisals in other Chinese ports. The
American naval forces are denIoved
along the coast in the hope of afford
ing as much protection as possible in
as many places as can be reached nv

Japanese Forces Closest.
The Japanese are nearer than-any

is reluctant to assume the initiative in
view of the charges of aggression
which have been leveled at the Japa-
nese in the last 90 years.
Although the Department of State
has said nothing publicly about 1t, the
reports from the Far East Indicate
that anti-foreign feeling has been IN
famed because of the refusal of the
poWers to abandon eXtraterritorial
rights and because of propaganda dis
tributed by Soviet Russia. Russia
proximity to China has made 1t pos
sible for the Soviet to carry on propa-
canda against European and American
influence.
The policy of the United States
Government will be to back up the
requests of the naval commanders as
to what forces may be necessary to
protect American lives. and 1T would
not be surprising if an allied army
similar to that which went to the re-
lief of Peking in the Boxer rebellion
were reassembled to draw a Gordon
around the treaty ports and protect
foreigners against the two armies
which are engaged in civil war.
Example for Others.
China affords an example of what
the United States has striven for in
Nicaragua and other powers have
sought in other parts of the world
namely, the establishment of neutral
zones within which contending
armies shall not penetrate, the theory
being that when a constituted gov
ernment cannot give protection to
foreigners the protection shall be fur
nished by the military forces of the
| foreign powers.
In order to carry on extensive op-
erations, the authorization of Con-
gress may become necessary. in which
event a special session would have to
be called. The hope here is that the
present forces will be sufficient to
cope with the situation, and that
meanwhile a sober second thought
will persuade the Chinese generals
that more is to be lost than gained by
permitting Aeir forces to fight near
the foreign ttlement.
