The DAILY WORKER, Joint De-
Tense Committee of Furriers and
Cloakmakers and the Freiheit ara
running collectively a Grand jam
boree in Starlight Park, fifth St.,
on Sunday, August 28th.
Something unusual-different - is
being staged this time. This wonder
full amusement park will be overrln
with workers and their children on
this memorable Sunday.
A Jamboree. What does that bring
to ones mind? All the fun of the
fair, ponies, swings, seesaws and
rides for the children-and We'll all
be children that day.
Ooh but it's hot There is splen-
did swimming pool in the park that
should help to reduce the tempera-
lures. Won't it be fun to make
round of the rides and then dive into
the cooling waters of the pool.
Many workers who were making
arrangements to leave town that
week and are going to have a real
holiday with their fellow fighters at
the Grand yJamboree.
The real explanation of a Jamboree
will remain a secret until after this
affair when it is expected to become
the most popular kind of affair in the
city.
Heaps of fun. Barrels of joy; and
music.
Yes. A real opera company will
present one of the best known of the
familiar operas. This feature is
something extraordinary and is sure
to go over big with all who have the
good fortune to be present.
Remember the date, August 25th,
the day Sunday; the place Starlight
Park, 177th St. Bronx. Prepare now
for the "a hours of fun.

Aimee Mcpherson Will
Sacrifice a Watermelon
On Altar of Affection

God Came High. but Devil Hit Low.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. How the
devil who is everywhere slipped into
the Angelus Temple and shattered the
happy family life and successful bust
ness partnership of Sister Aimee
Semple Mcpherson and her mother,
Sister Minnie Kennedy, was disclosed
today when the two warning women
agreed to meet to discuss the elder
woman's demand for fifty-fifty split
of the profits of evangelism in Los
Angeles.
Plans for the conference were an
nounced last night when it was learned
that Sister Minnie, who has obstinate
ly refused to turn the other cheek
but has stubbornly held out both
hands in her demand for a larger
share in the box office receipts of re-
ligion, would not settle on anything
but fifty-fifty basis.
Was Watermelon Fiend,
Aimee Semple Mcpherson declared
she was willing to make concessions
to her mother and she would bar wa
termelon and lemonade drinking from
future conferences of the Angelus
temple. Sister Minnie claimed that
the watermelon made it impossible to
get down to the more christian bust
ness of cutting financial watermelons.
II can't talk to her." Mrs. Kennedy
complained. Every time try to talk
to her she eats watermelon and drinks
lemonade"
The property which the mother and
daughter are meeting to divide is
valued at $4,000.

STRIKERS FORCED
TO BATTLE COAL
COMP ANY CUNNEN
Strikebreakers Suffer
Losses; One Man Shot

DOVER, Ohio, Aug. lin a hand
to hand battle between company gun
men and striking miners here, the
strikers were victorious, with one
scab herder shot in the melee. either
by his own gun or by some stray
bullet from one Of his gang, and some
fifteen gunner and scabs bruised.
The fighting started when the min
ers attempted to talk to imported
strike breakers who were on their way
to Maple Leaf Coal mine at Newport.
Armed company guards assaulted
them, and tried to keep them from
arguing with the strike breakers.
Some Of the scabs assisted the guards
in the struggle. The man shot was
John Vesco, a, gunman from Vain
wright.
Several Ohio mines continue pre-
parations to open with non-union la
Dor, Strike breakers brought from
the cities and not used to mining work
have cost the Goodyear Rubber Co.,
which has mine near Adena, about
$4,000 by accidentally setting fire to
the tipple while cleaning the mine
preparatory to opening it up.
Governor Donahey has just threat
ened President Daugherty of the
Hooking Valley sub-district of the
United Mine Workers of America,
that there will be "dire trouble" in
the Ohio mines if the work does not
start soon. He offers to mediate, but
in his language takes the employers
part. He accused the union of plan
ming to dynamite some tipples.
Don McGill, employer of Nelson
vile, has posted machine guns all
around his camp, and assumes a very
provocative attitude towards the COM
munity of strikers. But when this
matter was brot to the attention Of
the governor, he said little about it.

fractional spirit may be chronic in
your opinion, but the factions them
selves are not deeply rooted; in fact
they are superficial and of shifting
nature.
"The Communists have strengthen
ed their faction. They are injecting
foreign issue into the union The
issues of organization proper are
such that their very nature makes it
possible for man to belong to Group
A today and Group B tomorrow.
Found Elsewhere.
"On a small scale factions of this
kind are found in almost every organ
ization and they cannot become harm
full first because they are petty and
second because they are not given
sufficient recognition to dare come
into the open where they are given
countenance and even semi-official
recognition. There is but one result
and this is ruin.
"When critical moments such as
you are facing now arise in any COM
munity that must have government,
one of the two methods can save the
dictator who manages to get the con-
situation. Either there arises a clever
dictator who manages to get the con-
fidence of the people and has the ca
pacity to rule with an iron hand, or
the people in the good old democratic
way choose their rulers. The people
may make mistakes but democratic
mistakes are better than autocratic
rule.
To Divide Spells.
1--WE therefore recommend that
meetings of the members be called
for the. purpose of nominating all paid
and unpaid offices and in order to
avoid the possibility of undesirable
men getting on the ballot, an impair
tial committee consisting of respon-
sible and well known men in the la
Dor movement should be chosen to act
as an objection and election commit
tee. This is by the way nothing new.
The labor movement practiced such
methods even in the good old days.
"This procedure will not only solve
the immediate problem Of your cleo
lions but will give the first knock
out blow to groups, blocks, and eau
causes. We further recommend that
caucauses and Identification with
groups and blocks be outlawed.

BOND BARONS IN
ON CONTRACTING
CRAFT With CITY
State Architect Scores
Methods of Companies

The whitewashing of the surety
companies which bond city building
contracting jobs has started. Sullivan
w. Jones, state architect, in state
ment issued yesterday said that
agents and brokers for the companies
are responsible for the grating prac-
tees of the surety companies rather
than the companies themselves.
Jones said that the city and state
has lost enormous sums of money thru
the operations of the bonding COM
panies.
Commenting on the methods used
by surety companies and their agents
Jones said, "the division Of architec-
ture require contractors, in making
an application for their first payment
on their contract, to annex receipt
ed bill showing the payment of the
premium of the bond. These receipts
were issued promiscuously by agents
of surety companies and in some in
stances by the surety company itself
when no payment at all has been
made"
Methods Are Illegal.
In view Of the fact that practically
all of the surety companies have in
terlocking directorates the control of
the granting of state and city build
ing and construction contracts lies
practically in the hands of the surety
companies.
Speaking Of the Illegal methods Of
securing business for the surety COM
panies Jones concluded, "by these and
similar means unscrupulous men in
this business have in some cases prac-
tically controlled the bidding on state
work, which has resulted in losses on
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
taxpayers of the state"
Charges have been made that these
surety companies use every form of
inducement to obtain business. The
granting of bonus or present under
the Insurance Law is illegal.
The two most prominent surety
companies operating in this city are
the National Surety Company and the
United States Fidelity and Guarantee.

"He Was Very Timid"
Says Carol in Praise
of Father Ferdinand

PARIS. Aug. Prince Carol, pre-
tender to the Rumanian throne, has
issued to an American newspaper syn
dictate fulsome paen of praise for
his father, the deceased King Ferdin-
and of Rumania. Carol, were it not
for quarrels with the powerful Bra
tiano politicians and various dissipa-
tons and indiscretions of his own,
would succeed his father.
His flattery of the dead king is
taken here as part of plan to center
attention on himself, and to surround
himself with halo of martyrdom.
AS Ferdinand's life was notriously
unheroic, Carol was forced in his fun
eral praise to elevate, timidity, hest
fancy, gentleness and such like I'M
kingly traits to the rank of virtues.
Ferdinand is openly praised by Carol
for his extreme timidity
