CONCERNING Parking

In. motordom the signs of the
times are mo Parking.' Every
city is confronted with the problem
of adequate parking space. Some
are meeting the situation by widen
Ing the streets, where possible. A
few rules for systematic and lin
tied parking will relieve the bust
ness district by keeping the all day
parkers farther out, so that there
shall be sufficient space for tourists
and shoppers. More system prevails
where the streets are marked Off Tor
parking. Several methods are IN
use-parking parallel to the curb
leaves the most free space for NOV
ing vehicles, but takes too much
curb space and makes it difficult
for cars to turn in and out. How
ever. when this method is used
there should be at least three feet
of space between each parked car
and the one ahead or in the rear.
Parking at right angles to the curb
is the most economical OF curb
space. but makes it difficult to ma
nipulate the cars without obstruct-
ing the road way or damaging other
cars. Diagonal parking is the most
satisfactory method and interferes
least with passing traffic. Cars
should not be parked too near street
intersections parking within So
feet is the rule in some places. A
water plug should never be obstruct'
ed by parked car.
The foregoing rules apply mostly
in places larger than the twin cities
but if we observe these rules a,
home we will profit thereby and DC
the right thing at all times.

Those who followed NJ. & M. this
season, would never have recognized
their playing at the tournament.
Their steady, fast, consistent play
fng--their fine passes; their close
guarding, and their ability to shoot
baskets from most any position on
the floor was lacking, and instead
they were PLAYING almost as COM
pletely disorganized, and with about
the same results, as though they
had never been on basketball floor
before, as team.
Northrup was M. & MS best
player and highest scorer.

Girls Tie Home Game

Here in the evening M. & M. girls
played Logan, the score ending a tie
--l0 all. While no alibi is offered M.
& M. had not practiced recently. The
game with Logan had been announc-
ed earlier in the week, but Logan
cancelled it, and then at practically
the last moment they sent word that
they would be over to play, and as
the result M & M. went on the floor
without their customary practice.
This was the second game with Lo-
gan, the previous game ending in
victory to Logan by a ten point mar

Hurrah For Scouts.

The preliminary game of the
evening was between the local
scouts and the Boy scout team FROM
the Grace M. e. church of GAINESVILLE,
the former winning 20 to IL. Here
is where the Scouts did another of
their good turns-saved the basket
ball day from being whitewash.

about taking any money from their
large earnings, but to make up the
deficit which must be assessed upon
some one, to meet state expenses,
have about decided to pass IL on to
the auto owner. If they do il means
a twofold benefit to the bus, traction
and railroad lines of the state. 1t
means that they will not only be
able to keep all their large earnings,
but these earnings will be increased
because rural residents will find 1t
cheaper to patronize them than OPP
crate their own automobile. The
proposed 100 percent increase in
the gasoline tax means that 1T Is 60
ling to cost thousands of auto own
ers one cent tax for every mile they
travel. Add to this depreciation,
and other cost of operation 1t is
readily seen that the excess over
railroad fare of three cents per
mile is so attractive that thousands
will leave their cars in the garage
and patronize the utilities. 1t has
been estimated that outside the
eight larger counties Of the state
/ there are not more than 200 resi-
dents of each county financially in
terested in utilities. Against this
/ there are almost million who own
automobiles. Added gasoline tax
means favoring the classes against
the masses. 1t means adding bur-
den to a million and half Ohioans
who are now taxed on their automo-
bileg 80 the limit. At the same time
it means increased earnings with
no increase in taxes to the utilities

"L'Aiglon" and D'Annunzio Play
Set For Production.

Sometime next month John Will
liams will present here Edmond Ros-
tand's drama, 'L'Aiglon," in English,
translated by Louis Parker, for the
first time hereabouts in twenty years.
The play is in rehearsal with Madel-
inc Delmar, Angela Keir, Michael
Strange, Sarah Haden, George Mari
on, Benedict MacQuarrie and Eva
Benton, members of the company.
"L'Aiglon" will be followed by the
production of Gabriel D'Annunzio's
tragedy, "The Daughter of Jorio,"
which will be the first D'Annunzio
play ever performed, in English in
this city. The principal parts will
be acted by the leading players Of
the "L'Aiglon" company. Arrange
ments for the production of L'Aig-
Ion" were made with Nine. Edmond
Rostand. Contracts for ct Q
Daughter of Jorio" were executed di-
rectly with Gabriel D'Annunzio. The
music will be arranged by Mrs. Jes-
sic Baskerville. Henry Stillman will
stage both plays.

does so, but limits itself to situations
which are extremely innocuous. The
story is quite simple: The wife (Phyl-
lis Haver, who appeared with Emil
Jannings in "The Way>o All Flesh")
is host to a school chum (Jacqueline
Logan. Following rapid-fire
filtration the guest and the husband
(Tom Moore) create situation where
"What will the neighbors say" be-
comes of vital significance. The rest
of the picture deals with the clever
efforts of the wife to disillusion both
her spouse and her girl-friend about
the fleeting nature of such infatua-
tons.
Eventually the husband sees the
error of his ways, especially after his
wife adopts the flapper dress and
mood. Another thing that aided the
conversion process was the discovery
on the part of the truant husband that
his wife could darn socks much more
artistically than his temporary play
mate.
1nefe are several rather amusing
scenes, especially the one in which the
wife rings the burglar alarm for the
purpose of getting the husband and
his love to see each other at their
worst: the former, gawky and unin-
spring in his pajamas, and resemb-
ling a Chinese tragedian; the latter
buried in mud-pack and her hair
tied up in confusion of paper curls.

loper arrives just as the husband. is

By EARL BROWDER.

More than 5000 miners are out in
the Southern Colorado coal fields; the
Northern fields are quitting work;
124 mines are entirely idle, while
most of the others are crippled; the
strike movement already engages the
majority of the miners of the state
while this is written (Oct. 26), altho
a month ago but few hundreds were
organized. The principal demands of
the strikers are for the establishment
of acknowledgment, recognition of the
miners own organization, and a wage
Of S775 per day. This strike has an
Importance far beyond that of an or
binary strike of 5000 men, because it
Concentrates in itself many of the
most basic problems of the American
labor movement, today. Following are
some of the main characteristics of
the struggle:
/. 1t is a strike against the biggest
financial interests in America (Colo-
RADIO Fuel & Iron Co., dominating
producer, is a subsidiary Of Standard
Oil and Steel Trust).
2. It is a fight against company
unionism (The C. F. & I. company
union was established in 1915, shortly
after the Ludlow massacre when the
U. NJ. W. A. was driven from the
field by fire and machine-guns; it was
the first company union in America,
and for years was the only one).
8. 1t is a struggle against the state,
because the governmental machinery
Of Colorado is owned from top to
bottom by the "open-shop" employers,
led by the c. F. & l.
d. 1t is an attempt of the morgan
lied workers to organize themselves,
in basic industry. Most of the pres
ent strikers were never in q union be-
fore; they are the workers brought in
after the crushing of the previous
strike in 1913-14
5. 1t is fight against the corrup-
ton within the A. F. of L.; the U. NJ.
W. A. in Colorado has degenerated
into a mere skeleton organization,
which refuses to organize the miners,
and which has crushed entirely all
democracy within its ranks, which is
negotiating with the employers to
take the place Of the company union
as the instrument of "disciplining"
the miners.
The Corporations Which Own
Colorado.
Coal and iron constitute the only
considerable industry in Colorado; it
is highly trustified, being largely in
the hands of the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Co., and the Victor-American Fuel
Co., subsidiaries Of the Rockefeller
and Steel Trust interests. These in
terests are, nationally, the leaders of
the "Open shop" anti-union employ
ers of America. And in Colorado they
have been the most brutal in their
enforcement of this policy. They en-
ploy motley array Of thugs, gun
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-11-04

ever mistakes they have made are
mostly of the kind that should be
discussed only after the strike is over,
not in the middle of the battle. The
alternative leadership, that of the dis
trict officials of the skeleton u M.
w. A. organization, is hopelessly cor
rupt and in league with the employ
erS.
Duty to Help.
1t is the duty of the working-class
of America to come to the assistance
of the Colorado miners, who are bat
ting for decent conditions and for
real union, against the most formid-
able array of enemies to be found in
America. For all those who want to
help the Colorado miners, but have
objections to dealing with the l. w. w.
for reasons outside of the Colorado
coal strike, the possibility to do so is
given by the organization, by the Col
orado miners themselves of the Colo
RADIO Miners Defense and Relief Com
mittee. The address of this Commit
tee is Box 81, Walsenburg, Colorado.
1t has the task of providing for the
legal defense of the hundreds of ar
rested miners, and of beginning prep
arations for relief in the coming win
ter months if the strike, as seems sure
to be the case, lasts for some time
longer, probably for several months at
least. Every progressive worker
should help form local committee to
raise funds for the Colorado miners,
and send these funds either directly
or through their own national organi-
cations, to the Committee above
named. The Colorado strike marks an
important and welcome development.
1t is part Of the mass unrest and
demand for organization now sweep
ing the masses of workers in Amer
lea 1t must be supported with enthu-
siasm.
