or rather their sense of smell and
their ability to steal. Wherever they
sleep is their temporary home. These
nondescriptS and derelicts keep the
poundmaster's assistants alert and
busy.
Approximately one-half of all the
dogs received at the District pound
are householder animals which have
been kept as pets. These dogs are
safe. free of disease and satisfactory
for resale as pets. They were
picked up originally because they vio-
lated the local laws. The 5000 or
more other dogs which are annually
captured are tramps. hoboes and
piclpockets of the canine species.
They lead a hand to mouth" exist
ence. They steal what they can. an
noy householders and violate local
sanitary rules by continually upset
ting garbage containers and scatter
ing their contents broadcast on streets
and alleys.
These stray dogs frequently are
dangerous and diseased. AT times they
bite children who play in their line
of advance. They are menaces to
society and merit the fate which
they eventually meet at the pound.
All the dogs that are assembled
at the pound are carefully fed and
kindly handled during the period they
are under District ownership. Dan
gerous dogs are quartered i'll isolated
pens. Animals which have bitten
human beings or dogs suspected of
rabies infection fall in this class
They are kept under observation by
the poundmaster and the District
veterinarian until their guilt is es-
tablished or their innocence demon
strated. The dangerous dogs are de-
stroyed.
The pound is maintained in inn
maculate, sanitary condition. No
dog kennels anywhere are superior
in sanitation or cleanliness to those
supported by District funds Usually
40 to so dogs are on hand.
These animals. on arrival at the
pound, are separated according to
size, sex and breed. The animals are
kept in pens which are cleaned
daily Pure drinking water is con-
stantly available to the dogs. They
are fed liberal rations. The pound
is dog haven and heaven" for many
of the animals which never before
were as kindly treated.
The first thing the average Wash
ingtonian who loses his pet dog or
cat does is to telephone the pound
master to ascertain If the dog
catcher's nets have shared "Bowser"
or "Tabbie." The pound authorities
also receive many calls Ito come and
capture biting dogs" or so-called mad
dogs" Property owners advise where
dangerous dogs are hidden. and re-
quest the District dog policemen to
remove and confine the animals.
DOGS which bite children or adults
are also taken to the pound and
studied in detention quarters to de-
termine il they are dangerous or
rabid.
One regulation which gets many
Washington pets into trouble Is the
requirement that dogs be muzzled

Arrest 10000 in Year
For Breaking BOozeLa

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Despite
the fact that the hip-pocket toters
and home brewers virtually were UNI
molested by the Federal Government,
prohibition arrests in the year ending
June 30th, reached a new high record
of nearly 10000. 1t was announced
today.
Federal agents arrested 10000
more persons than the year before.
A majority of those apprehended were
accused of major violations of the
law, including conspiracies against
the government, smuggling and big
bootlegging operations.
Several international smuggling
and bootlegging rings were put out
of commission and their leaders sem
fenced to jail. Reports at the close
of the year, however, indicated that
many big bootlegging corporations
ore still in existance. Administrators
here for a weeks conference, have
been informed that serious problems
confront the enforcement machine in
the next year.
More than 100000 gallons of
whiskey, wine, cider and malts were
seized by the federal authorities, a
considerable decrease over the year
before, although captures of boats
and automobiles were heavier.
A survey of enforcement showed
that the average fine for persons
convicted in the federal courts was
$3.50 and the average Jail sentence
140 days. A majority of those ar
rested were convicted. The best
record for the percentage of convic-
tions was made in the Chicago and
Montana districts.

FORD KNEW ABOUT
ATTACKS ON JEWS
SAYS Ex- EDITOR
Cut in Sales Caused
Ford Conversion

Despite his denials, Henry Ford not
only knew about the articles contain
ing vicious attacks on the Jews, but
actually ordered them. This is the
evidence submitted by E. G. Pipp.
former editor of the Dearborn In
dependent, which will appear in the
American Hebrew next Friday.
Aspiring to the presidency and
hoping to gain votes in backward
communities, Ford had the articles
published, Pipp says. when Ford
first launched the attacks on the
Jews" he declares. she was candi-
date for the presidency of the United
States-firmly so in his own mind.
He figured that the prejudice in small
communities turnout the United
States was so strong against the Jews
that he would gain three, four or five
votes for every Jewish vote he would
lose"
Ford's sudden reversal of his posi-
ton is ascribed to the rapid inroads
made in his sales by the General Mo
tors, which is engaging in titanic
struggle with the Ford Company for
control of the automobile market. The
recent decline in Ford's production has
led to sudden benevolence toward the
Jews, it is stated.

Civil Wage Increase
Carried in Committee
Over POincare's Will

PARIS, July 1.-THE Poincare
Government suffered two defeats to-
day in the Finance Committee Of the
Chamber on the question Of an in
crease in pay for Government en-
ployees. An amendment to increase
the original proposal for an expendi-
ture Of 600,000,000 francs to $780,
100000 francs was carried by a vote
of IA to 8 over the bitter opposition
of the Premier.
A provision that the 1923 budget
surplus be applied to this sum was
opposed by M. Poincare with equal
fervor, but he was again defeated.
1t is expected that the open dis
cussion in the Chamber on Wednes-
day will be the setting for severe
struggle on this question. There was
more than covert warning in the
Premier's statement to the Committee
that continued opposition to his po-
icy in this matter would result in his
leaving "to others the responsibility
of destroying the budget equilibrium"

German Press Demands
Rhineland Evacuation

BERLIN, July II. - Immediate
evacuation of the Rhineland by
French and Allied troops is urged by
the German Press in fulfillment of
promises made to Germany at the
time of signing the Locarno Treaty,
nearly two years ago. The occasion
for reiteration of this request is pro-
vided by the announcement that Ger
many has fulfilled the demand of the
allies that she destroy her eastern
Notifications, and has passed the
"war material law required by
them.
The "Berliner Tageblatt" points
out that all peace treaty conditions
have now been carried out, and the
evacuation of the Rhineland must
now take place as matter of right,
and that any evasion or refusal will
constitute a breach of contract on
the part of the allies.
The Press in general takes the po-
sition that. having fulfilled her obli-
cations, Germany has the right to
demand that the allies look to the
fulfillment of theirs.

Expert Negro-Baiter
Loses Treasury Job:
Replaced by New Job

WASHINGTON, (FP) July 12.-
Rejoicing of District of Columbia
Negroes over the forced resignation
of Harley V. Speelman, registrar of
the treasury, has been tempered by
the appointment of another Repub
lican white politician to take his
place. Speelman Zj1s appointed to
his executive position over employees
of the treasury department by Presi-
dent Harding and ever since has been
a source of embarrassment to Cool
idge by his enthusiasm for segrega-
ting white and colored workers.
His first act was to shift co'oced
workers to the top floor f tk'
treasury building where he psrt.tl nd

arranged so there would be no CO,
tact between the races, the colore.
clerks reporting and leaving Is min
utes earlier than the whites. Segre-
cation reached its apex when Spell
man unveiled a Jim crow and a
white memorial tablet for depart
ment employees who had lost their
lives in the world war. White work
ers joined the protest, leading to the
destruction of both tablets and the
erection of single bronze plate. In
the following Coolidge Economy,
Speelman invariably fired more Ne
groes than whites until the depart
ment's colored proportion sank to the
lowest level in a half century.
Appointment of Walter Wood of
Kansas, REPUBLICAN, white politician,
brings little satisfaction. Under all
previous administrations, the position
of registrar of the treasury has been
filled with Negroes as one of the few
political plums awarded them for
faithfulness to the Republican party.

Cuban Government
Stages Red Raids
to Prevent Strikes

HAVANA, July 1.-THE Cuban
government, in response to demands
of the American sugar, tobacco and
other trusts having interests has be-
gun an offensive against the labor
movement by wholesale arrests of
Communists. The slave drivers fear
that the sugar cane crop will be en-
dangered unless the demands of the
workers are met and so the govern
ment pretends to have discovered"
a plot against itself.
Fifty-seven Communists are under
arrest in Camaguri and Regla and
some 100 or more have been arrested
and held incommunicado in Havana.
No specific charges have been filed
against the prisoners, as Cuban law
permits the holding of prisoners on
open charges for period of seventy
two hours. Meanwhile the houses
and headquarters of Communists are
being burglarized by the police who
are stealing tons of literature and
fixtures.

South Africa to Fly
Union Jack With Own
Flag as Empire Link

General Herzog, South African
Premier, who came back from the I'M
perialist Conference shorn of all his
thunder and meekly subserviant to
the British Empire, is taking it out
on the Union Jack.
In the debate on the flag bill he
Numbered against the small British
section which, he said, insisted that
South Africa must be dominated by
the Union Jack. But said Herzog,
South Africa was as free as Great
Britain, and was as free to have a
national flag. The Bill would go
through, he stated, in spite of Gen
eral SHUTS and his few die-hards.
The proposal of the Labor Party
that the Union Jack be flown with

day when the State Department be-
gan to hustle, and issue simultane-
ously underground rumors to this
effect and open declarations that the

ticated, are to the effect that the
note is really two notes, one of which
accuses the Mexican authorities of
not already hanging somebody for
the death in bandit raid of Arthur
Brewer, an American capitalist in
Guadalajara short time ago, and
the other criticizing the Gales adj

The case of the Transcontinental

the state department at Washington

Bathing Suits in
Heavy Demands for
Big Chi. Excursion

CHICAGO, July 12.-Excursionists
to Michigan City, Indiana, on Sunday,
July II are urged to buy their tick
cts in advance, on pain of getting
ducking in Lake Michigan.
This is the threat voiced by Sam
Hammersmark who is charged by the
Workers Community Party with en-
gineering the excursion which is ex-
pected to bring considerable shekels
into The DAILY WORKER treasury.
The excursion will leave Goodrich
Docks, Municipal Pier at $50 a. m.
sharp and will return at 7 p. m. This
is one of the most popular outdoor
sports in the Windy City. On the
most sweltering dog-day, cool hreezes
fan the waters of Lake Michigan and
music will charm the savage breasts
of the most serious comrade. There
will be dancing, singing and impromp-
tn entertainment. AS far as that is
concerned nobody need worry about
fun. Where there are hundreds
gathered together in the name of Pan
and other equally popular gods of
ancient vintage there should be no
dearth of hilarity.
Strangers VIII Be In Town
A contingent from Los Angeles
passing thru the city on their way
to New York were induced to stop
over for the excursion. Tho Chicago
is not a provincial, one-horse town
by any means, the natives are always
glad to entertain outsiders
Another attraction is free bathing,
but the daring are warned that they
must bring their own bathing suits,
otherwise they can only have a dip
over Hammersmark's dead body.
'In conclusion" said Sam to the
representative of The DAILY
WORKER, "make it as emphatic as
possible that tickets must be paid for
in advance and bought in advance,
otherwise my name may be added to

their lives in behalf Of great causes"
