ciais who considered him "a danger
Gus Individual" He had been for a
number of years active in the agita-
ton for improved conditions among
the workers in the Virgin Islands,
with the result that he incurred the
enmity of the authorities there.
Barr5w came to the United States
after he had been ordered out Of the
Virgin Islands under the threat of
prosecution. When the governor of
the Islands discovered that he had
come to this country, he called to the
attention of the U. S. authorities to
that fact, urging them to expel him
from this country.
Governors Hate, Follows.
Declaring that Barrow's further
stay in the United States was "un-
desirable" Henry II. Hough, the
American governor of the Virgin
Islands, writing to the U. S. depart
ment of labor complained that he
had been active in labor agitation
on the Islands, and especially at St.
Croix.
"The element of which he is a
member" wrote Hough, "has done
more to disrupt the business and
inundate the composure of Saint
Croix than any other one thing. The
working people Of their group have
been taught, amongst other things,
to do as little. work as possible, on
the theory that eventually the plan
tation owners would have to give up
their estates and in the end the
estates will fall to the people,"
He Served Labor.
The American governor then called
the attention of the department Of
labor official to an enclosed news
paper article which accused Barrow
of Serving in the ranks of labor in
various capacities in connection with
the st. Croix labor unions" as in
dicative "of the manner in which he
mixes his religion with politics"
Documents offered at the hearing
before Judge Knox by attorneys for
Barrow brought out Illuminating cor
respondence between officials on the
Virgin Islands and U. S. government
officials at Washington.
Hughes, Harding Campaigned.
Ex-Secretary of State Charles
Evans Hughes, the late Warren G.
Harding, and Former Secretary of
the Navy DENLY were involved in
the campaign to make things un-
comfortable for Barrow while he re-
manned in the United States.
Writing to the secretary of labor,
DENLY stated that his department
would be pleased if the department
OF labor could see its way clear to
support the decision and action al
ready taken by the government of
the Virgin Islands"

Tabloid Editor Tells
Worker School Class
Of S-Minute Service

Chasing the news with the Tabs"
was the sport at the last Advanced
Labor Journalism class at the Work
ers School, 10S East 14th street.
An editor of one of the New York
tabloid dailies told "a Worker cor
respondents how the Daily Mirror
and The News hunt their stories and
write them and get them on the
street eight minutes after they hap
pen.
Resnrrecting A Murder.
The tabloids are the youthful ele-
ment in journalism, he said. They
have the punch that wins. They are
willing to take a chance. He told
how the Tabs" resurrected the ia
nous Halls-Mills murder case after
it had lain dead in a small Jersey
town for four years.
In conclusion he said that the work
ers' papers can get circulation by
playing up the drama of the labor
struggle. It's the fresh sparkling
human interest news that wins the
favor of the masses.
Another Newspaper.
Next week another newspaperman
will tell of another type of newspaper.
Announcements will be made in The
DAILY WORKER Monday morning.
In addition next week Eugene
Lyons will review the news Of the

The Commune Festival
Brought Great Crowds

The international Labor Defense
four-day bazaar closed Sunday after
thousands of New York workers had
been given an opportunity to assist
morally and financially in the work
of defending representatives of the
working class in their struggles.
Had 20 Booths.
The bazaar opened on Thursday
night with 20 well-stocked booths
under the supervision of Hungarians,
Czecho-Slovaks, Esthonians, Greeks,
Armenians, Firms, Chinese, Japanese,
Lithuanians, Poles, and representa-
tives of other nationalities interested
in the cause of workers defense.
Delegates from numerous trade
union organizations of the city joined
in the effort to strengthen the arm
of the l. L. d. The Workers (Com-
munist) Party, l. L. D. branches from
Bronx, Harlem, Coney Island, Browns
vile, and other sections of greater
New York were represented.
Unionists Come Out.
Metal workers, capmakers, cloak
makers, and members of the United
Workers Cooperative were among
the participants in the festivities on
various of the nights during which
the bazaar was held.
Each night a program Of high
standard was given, many prominent
artists and troupes participating.
Among these were the B. S. S. c..
band, Leonio, Norenat Newkoch, Ali
Lame, Helena Havosi, Vesa Athletic
Club, New York Finnish Progressive
Society, Kisatoverit A. c., Male
Chorus of the B. S. S. c., Czecho-

Pioneers In Action.
On Saturday afternoon the Pioneers
gave a fine entertainment showing
what the children of the workers
really can do Under the direction of
Professor George Koukly a splendid
program of music and dance was
given.
Celebrate Commune.
Sunday afternoon saw the celebra-
ton of the historic Commune of
Paris. 1t was the occasion for real
display of solidarity. The enthusiasm
was splendid, all present joining in
the memorial pledge to carry on the
work until all class war prisoners are
freed.
A feature of the affair was the res
taurant conducted in most efficient
manner under the excellent manage
ment of the Hotel Workers of the
Amalgamated Food Workers. The
Bakers Local of the Amalgamated
Food Workers who supplied all bakery
produce must also be mentioned. The
Vegetarian Workers Club had spe-
cial section that was credit to them
selves and the bazaar.
$50 New Members.
An encouraging point about the
bazaar is the fact that over $50 new
members were secured for the Labor
Defense. In commenting on this the
secretary and the organizer wish to
urge the new members to take up
seriously the task of building the or
ganization.
The bazaar concluded on Sunday
night with every booth sold out. The
attendance was excellent and enthus-
iasm superb.

NEW NATIoNAI-"Old Ironsides. !"

''Old Ironsides," the inspiring film
production of glorious pages of Ameri-
can naval history, opened its second
and final weeks showing at the Ma
tional Theater yesterday. 1t is the
story of the gallant old frigate Con-
stitution, now to be preserved as a
memorial to those stirring sea vic
tories in the days of our then young
Republic, which alone had the courage
to attempt the subsection of the Tripo-
Titan pirates, whose activities had ter
rorized Mediterranean commerce for
hundreds of years. The historic battle
in the Bay of Tripoli, in which the
pirate ships are defeated and the land
defenses finally subdued, makes a
gripping climax.
Aside from it's patriotic theme, the
picture Is noteworthy for wonderful
Photographic views and grim battle
scenes. An innovation in film projec.
tion is the enlargement of the screen
to cover the full area of the stage with
a beautiful picture of the majestic
old ship with all sails to the wind.
There is thread of romance run
ming through the story, with Charles
Farrell and Esther Ralston in the
featured parts. However, it is the
irrepressible Wallace Beery who steals
the honors in a character interpreta-
tion Of q comical "bos'n."

several Eastern cities. 1t was ac-

show lived up to its reputation as a
satisfying laugh maker and LETT the

Besides its outstanding features of
lively wit and several memorable
fumes. some of which already had
become widely known and sung. the
production has movement and swift
action to carry it through its more
tSan two hours. A capable cast IS
headed by Charles Ruggles ana
Frank Mcintyre, who won fame
