The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-10-22

CHICAGO, Oct. 21-Following a
successful and enthusiastic meeting of
the delegates, branch secretaries and
other active workers of local Chicago,
International Labor Defense, held at
Division Hall, plans were adopted for
the intensification of the work of de-
Tending the victims of capitalist class
"justice" and organizing a broad
movement in which the Chicago local
has always been in the foreground.
Proposals We're adopted for increas-
ing agitation among the Chicago
workers for the defense of the twenty
miners framed-up in connection with
the murderous assault made by Penn
sylvania "cossacks" upon a Sacco-
Vanzetti protest meeting held in
Cheswick, Pa, in which scores of men,
women and children were severely in
jured. The case threatens to develop
with serious consequences to the in
dicted miners unless the labor move
ment is aroused to the Importance OF
the issue involved.
Arrangements are also being made
to observe the fortieth anniversary of
the execution of the pioneers of the

Name Branches Of
Labor Defense for
Chicago Martyrs

CHICAGO, Oct. 81. -- In honor of
the Martyrs of Haymarket who gave
their lives on the scaffold of Cook
County Jail, in Chicago, forty years
ago because of their devotion to the
cause of labor, an eight-hour day for
which they pioneered, the Chicago To-
cal of International Labor Defense is
planning to rename a number of its
branches with the names Of the heroes
of 1877.
On November 80, special meeting
of the locals city central committee
will decide which five branches will
be named after the five legally as
sassinated martyrs, Albert Parsons,
August Spies, George Engel, Louis
Lingg and Adolph Fishcher. In ad-
dition, two other branches will be
named after Nicola Sacco and Bart
olomeo Vanzetti.
Fights Frame-up.
In addition to the campaigns for
the Cheswick miners, the Chicago
needle trades workers who are ar
rested, the Michigan cases, and
against the Greccc~Carillo frame-up,
the Chicago local has begun it's win
ter activities with real energy. The
affair of the Bulgarian branch is to
be held this month, as is the lecture
under the auspices of the Jewish City
committee. The Lithuanian city COM
mittee, which now includes represen-
tatives of six branches and 10 affili-
ated organizations totalling 1400
members, is to hold big entertain
ment in November. The Italian city
committee, to which is now joined the
local Anti-Fascist Alliance, will pre-
sent a moving picture film in No
vember, and the same month will see
Joint city affair of all the German
and Hungarian I. L. D. and affiliated
units, as well as a concert Of the
Russian branch.
Work now is being concentrated on
sending a large delegation to the
Third Annual Conference Of Inter-
national Labor Defense to be held
in New York City on November II
and IS, the fortieth anniversary Of
the execution of the Haymarket mar
tyrs.

in no wise an alteration from the

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

This week is being observed throughout the
country as both Thrift week" and Newspaper
week" Both are national observances in memory
of Benjamin Franklin, one of the greatest men
in the history of this republic and the patron
saint" of printers and publishers.
We believe the following toast, suggested by
the international Advertising association for
ceremonies honoring Franklin constitutes a tri-
butte that is worthy of attention. 1t was delivered
at many places in this country on Monday, the
189th anniversary of the iIlustrious Americans
birth It reads:

of the first shrewd American advertiser-Poor

Moderation, tolerance wisdom-these were the
qualities that marked. the versatile genius of
Benjamin Franklin, one of the quiet, unostenta-

lightning for our behoof; man who walked with
kings nor lost the common touch'-a genius in

ON SNOW REMOVAL

We heartily concur with the BOzenan Chronicle
that the removal of snow from Bazeman's prin-
cipal streets would be something that would re-
dound to the credit of the city and put dollars in
the tills of it's business establishments.
Besides being unsghtly, the accumulated snow
is nuisance in more ways than one. It injects a
factor of danger into traffic that cannot be over
looked; it is an unnecessary handicap to business
and social activities, and when the thaws come,
it fills the streets with rivulets and puddles of
filthy water that is splashed far and wide to the
annoyance of pedestrians by every passing
vehicle.
AS the Chronicle suggests, the removal of snow
from Bozeman's streets should not be a task
beyond the city's ability with its present equip
ment. 1T would cost some money, to be sure, but
nothing worth while is to be had free. For this
particular problem, more energy than cash is
needed.
For beautifying itself, Bozeman has far more
natural advantages than most cities of its size.
Already it has capitalized some Of them, but many
others remain to be taken advantage of. If sys-
tematic removal of snow from Bozeman's streets
did nothing more than mark this city as being
progressive and desrous of putting it's 'best foot
foremost" it would well be worth the effort and
the COST
In urging the municipal government to take
action along this line the Chronicle has presented
some excellent arguments. We are glad to join
it in directing attention to the matter, and swell
the protest against the snow nuisance. In this
respect at least, let's make Bozemans streets, and
it's Main street in particular, models of clean
illness and convenience.

THE PLAGUE OF LAWS

That approximately 100000 laws are theore-
tically operative in the United States, and that
the time has come for a new Justinian to junk
the whole complicated mess and substitute a
simple code, like that of the Roman lawgiver is
the declaration of William P. Helm, Jr., govern
ment statistician, in an article in the American
Mercury.
In 1926 Mr. Helm says, no fewer than $4,000
new laws appeared on the statute books of the
48 states. Fifteen typical American cities added
4,8SS laws in one year, and there are some 1S 900
important towns and cities and all of them are
busy grinding out ordinances. State legislatures
will this year make thousands of additional laws
Commenting on this situation, the Salem
(Oregon) Journal says
''The growth of bureaucracy can be traced dir
ectly to the extension of the law, and bureaucracy
grows by multiplication of laws They supple
ment each other. The more laws, the more
bureaucrats to enforce them. The more bureau
Gratis, the more laws to increase and extend THEN
power, until we have reached the point where
the whole topheavy system is breaking down anC
the law becomes Joke"
It can be added that virtually every new Law
increases taxes, and that one of the best way.
to bring about tax reduction is to stop passing
new laws.

JOBS FOR THE SHERIFF

Since January 3, when a Democrat took over
the sheriffs office, the opposition press has been
addicted to playing up every incident that might
reflect credit upon the new incumbent.
With the exception that comparisons are
OdiOus,' we have no particular quarrel with that
policy. In fact, we are always ready to praise
an officer who does his duty, whether he be
Republican or Democrat Public welfare demands
that sheriff who endeavors to see that laws are
enforced and crimes prevented be encouraged.
There are two jobs, however, that Sheriff Frank
G. Slaughter and his deputies have not tackled.
One is the solving of the Hansen murder
mystery. Mr.. Slaughter should be admirably
equipped to wrestle with that problem, inasmuch
as he was the special investigator employed by
the county last year to assist E. A. Peterson,
then county attorney, in running down and
furnishing Hansen's slayer. Their findings were
never made public with the exception of certain
minor angles that were aired in Justice court as
result of fist fight
The other is the putting of a quietus upon the
activities of youths who almost daily borrow
hgh-priced automobiles for ''joy rides" abandon
ing them at any convenient point when their de-
sire for speed has been satisfied or the gasoline
tank is dry. This reprehensible practice results in
much worry and more or less financial loss fol-
the unfortunate owners of the machines "bor.
rowed," and should be stopped.
Sunday P E. Tinker of Butte, representative OF
HOward-Pierce, Inc, state distributors of several
high-class cars, came to Bozeman and drove tC
the postoffice to mail a letter. He was inside
only few minutes, but when he came out his
machine, a Hupmobile eight, was missing All

Monday morning of the borrowed" auto in al

siders himself mighty lucky to have recovered j
in such good condition.
Bozeman has suffered long enough from thi
nuisance, say car owners. The time has com
when something must be done. That no persons
car is safe when on this citys streets in reproacl
and disgrace to the municipality. AS the poIic
seem to be powerless, apparently it is up to Sheriff
Slaughter to "get busy"
In the past it has been rumored that the identi

that the Republican party has already
achieved so strong a position in the
confidence Of the people Of our nation
that additional effort is hardly neces-
sary. There are many signs which
apparently justify this belief. But
the very confidence which the people
already have in US imposes a special
and particular responsibility. 1t IS
not enough to hold; we must advance.
We have an obligation not only to
preserve the traditions Of the past,
but to respond to the great new move
ments and developments of our ma
tional existence.
"We cannot ignore the danger of
the increasing djsinclinatiOn on the
part of many Of our citizens to join
in the political activities not only of
our party but all political move
ments.
"Whatever the explanation, we are
faced with the fact that there is de-

political parties, like other or

only one method to secure it, namely,
by appeals to those who believe in
the policies and principles upon which
the party is founded. A distinguished
senator recently offered q solution
for this problem, namely that the
federal government itself pay all the
expenses Of political campaigns, but
his remedy as I see it would only make
bad matter worse. It would result

WASHINGTON, D. C.-President
Coolidge's message to congress on
Mexican-Nicaraguan relations hit the
country in the right spot and at the
right time. We are peaceful people
but not pacifist, we are a just, but
not a truculent people. But the time
had arrived when it was necessary
to make clear that what we were
demonstrating was fairness and not
meekness. There were some timid
souls who began to pyramid an uiti-
matum on the message. There is no
fear of such happening. Until the
time the message was written, there
was a distinct possibility that ouT
Mexican neighbor unchecked might
have passed from one stage Of pir
pricking to another so that an ulti'
matum might have become an abso-
lutte necessity for protection of Amer
lean rights and property. The very
firmness Of the message has elm
mated that possibility.
