Cops Hold Bad RObber
Now Search for Crime

A bold, bad robber was on the
hands of the New York police yes
terday, but they passed the buck to
Chicago to find the robbery.
Frederick Bull, "a, the millionaire
kid" says he is the robber. A $780,
900 hold-up of train on the Chicago
and Alton near Alton, ILL.,, on Aug.
%, 1928, is the alleged robbery.
There were six bandits, declared
Buhl, and two Of the boys covered the
fireman and engineer of the train
bound for st. Louis with automatics
from the roof Of the first car. Other
gymnastic members of the band
swung down from the top of the mail
car, pitched tear and gas bombs thru
an open window overcoming two
clerks.
The millionaire kid" received $50
600 for his part in the holdup, he
confided, and buried the loot in a
cemetery on the outskirts of Bis
marck, N. d.
Postal agents and police are still
thumbing the records in an attempt
to find reference to the robbery.

The battle between workers. The victory was on
the side of neither the white the black workers They

Carolina from Georgia and from Arkansas, that reveal
the that is being waged against Negroes with no
protest on any large scale from white workers.
Take the case of Henry Ridley found scaded to death
in the "sweat box" of state-owned road camp near
Tallahassee, Florida. The sweatbox has taken the
place of the rawhde lash following the exposure of the
whipping to death of several convcts in prison here
years ago.
The "sweatbox" is pictured as a wooden structure
reinforced by tin "just large enough to hold person
cplinary purposes Holes in the side of the box admit
pipes, thru which steam is shot in the prisoner Con-
vcts who termed unruly because they will not work

the convicts Simon Legree' that Ridley "was

The Irish Election Campaign

would have taken the ground from
under the feet of both De Valera and
Cosgrave. Had Johnson raised the
standard of a Workers Republic, with
complete separation from the British
Empire as a goal the nonsensical
spiritual balderdash of De Valera
about the Importance of an oath
would fall on deaf ears. But the La
Dor Party of today is not the Labor
Party that James Connolly visualized.
1t is indirectly an adjunct Of the Free
State government as is proven by
Johnson's announcement that he will
not vote for a Republican candidate
for president in the next parliament
which means that he will aid in the
election of Cosgrave or his nominee,
directly or indirectly.
The police of the Free State party
is mainly, loyalty to, the treaty with
Great Britain and sterilization of the
economic life of the country, this stab
ilization to take place at the expense
of the workers.
The Republican policy, pays little
attention to the domestic problems
confronting the working class and the
small farmer. 1t declares that if
elected and given a majority the Re
publicans will smash the treaty that
created the Free State and with it the
oath of allegiance which has been a
gag in Republican outlets for. several
years.
But in order to allay the fears of
the business elements that a victory
for De Valera would result in revo-
luton, the leader of the Republican
Party has inserted full page adver-
tisements in the Irish press, stressing
his sanity and declaring that if re-
turned to power he would proceed in
a constitutional manner and that he
would devote himself streuuously to
repairing the present economic ruin.
How he would do this, or how his
economic policy differs from that of
Cosgrave he is careful not to specify
Both Cosgrave and De Valera are
extending the olive branch of unity
and it would not be surprising if
those two political groups came to
terms as soon as they have succeeded
in psychologizing their respective fol-
lowings in this direction.
Other factors in the elections are:
the farmers party, which will sup
port Cosgrave, the independents
which will follow suit for a price,
small group led by William Redmond,
and another group known as Clam
Eireann Children of Ireland) a split
let from the government party which
declares that it will support De Val
era.
According to the London Daily
Herald, Jim Larkin declared he would
enter the election campaign with can
didates in several industrial centres.
Whether Larkin is in a position to
make good his promise is not clear
from the reports appearing in the
press.
Predictions are usually wrong but
it is likely that it will be neck and
neck race between Cosgrave and De
Valera with the Labor Party under
a heavy handicap because of its I'M
principled political horse deals under
thealeadership of Thomas johnson.
The need of the hour in Ireland is
a political party that will raise the
banner of Workers and Farmers
government, and the establishment of
an independent labor republic with
complete political separation from the
British Empire.
