Red Army Led by Workers and Peasants Contrasts With Capitalist Forces
ADVANCE RUNS
MISSTATEMENTO OF
'DAILYS' STAND
Worker" Hit Smiths
Unemployment Talk

What is considered willful misrep-
resentation of the position of the
Workers (Communist) Party and it's
official organ, The DAILY WORK
Err, on the problem of unemployment
is found in the last issue of "Ad-
vance," organ of the right wing Of
ficialdom in the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers Union.
This publication in summary of
"views" on the unemployment issue
carries the obviously deliberate mis-
statement that The DAILY WORK
Err has approved" the program of
Governor AL. Smith for unemploy-
ment "relief." The DAILY WORK
Err, which has taken the initiative in
demanding measures of real, as
against pretended, relief has branded
the governors plan as complete
fake intended to side-track the issue.
Condemns AL Smith ''Plan."
The DAILY WORKER IN it's issue
of Feb. 8, stated editorially, that:
Governor AL Smith, Tammany
Hall boss, and one of the Wall
Street favorites in the race for
presidential nominations, is trying
to capitalize the widespread unem-
ployment and has issued state
ment outlining his alleged policy,
which as far as the unemployed
are concerned, is no policy.
but only a gesture in behalf of his
political ambitions"
Not over month ago the "Ad-
vance" in an editorial carried most
bitter attack against The DAILY
WORKER for calling attention to
the increasing unemployment and suf-
fering which the working class was
facing.
Calling attention to such facts, the
advance" contends, worked against
the labor movement by soaring the
workers away from organization at
tempts.
Officials Pretend to be Interested.
The many thousands Of unemploy-
ed members in the Ama,gamated
Union, it is understood, have forced
eiiO O1lltIulQOiit W COiIlc lTOI1 DSllIlu
the smoke screen with which they,
following the lead of the Tammany
politicians, have sought to conceal
the real seriousness of unemployment.
The last issue of their organ con-
tains summary of views in the CAPT
talist press but offers no suggestion
of how relief is to be secured. The
Amalgamated Union has done moth
ing to help it's own unemployed men,
bers.
The unemployment fund which was
supposed to be created in the indus
try has been abandoned. David
Drechsler, attorney for the employ
ers in the industry, recently testified
at the Bar Association hearing on
the anti-strike bill, that the proposal
for the unemployment fund was aban-
doned through the common agree
ment between the union officials and
the bosses when it was decided that
the fund could not be used as
"means of inducing compliance with
the arbitration decisions in the indus
try"

BIG LEGION BOSS
PLEADSFOR NAVY
SECOND TO NONE
Committee and Coolidge
in Power Tiff

WASHINGTON. Feb. ZZ (FP).-
Edward E. Spafford. national com
mander Of the American Legion, told
the house naval affairs committee
February 20 that 100000 legion
naires demand that United States
maintain "the biggest navy you car
give u.s." He added that the legion
'"has permanent policy of maintain
ing navy second to none in the
world"
Thousands Protest Big Navy.
Stafford begen, after Acting
Chairman. Britten had paid him full
some compliments, by denouncing as
"arch Stacker" Frederick J. Libby
head of, the National Council for Pre-
vention of War. The legion chief was
indignant because Libby's organiza-
ton had caused thousands of tele-
grams and letters to be sent to the
committee in protest against it's big
navy program.
"We can add and we will have a
million people send you kilograms
urging you to carry out this program
for an adequate navy" asserted Spaf-
ford.
Britten, an ex-prize fighter who
voted against the war, and is now
loudest in bullying the witnesses who
appear before the committee in OPP
position to the big navy plan did at
least half Of the talking. He COM
planned that, during the war, in or
der TO get a shipment of shoe polish
forwarded from his district to Nor
wav he had to get the consent of the
British government.
would our government have toler-
ated such an insult?" he demanded
of Spafford, eff we had big power
full navy?"
Spafford assured him that big
navy would have protected the shoe
polish.
REPRESENTATIVE Andrew, of Massa-
chusetts, who had been forced to
apoloeize to Libby, after an alterca-
ton over the navy program at pri-
vate dinner recently, urged Spafford
to direct the legion to explain to the
public that the committee did not in
tend to endorse the expenditure of
$4,000 100000 for immediate naval
construction. He admitted that the
opposition was honest.
Conflict of Political Power.
Representative McClintic, of Okla
bona, spoiled the harmony of the &C.
casion when Britten urged loyalty to
President Coolidge, as a reason for
building more ships than even Cool
idge wants. It was pointed out that
the committee was in conflict with
the president on various points, par
ticularly when it refused to allow
him the power to stop the building
program at any time. The struggle
between them is for power.
Not more than fifteen cruisers will
be provided for in the naval bill
likely 20 pass the house at this ses-
sion, according to the experts who
are watching the fight. This reduc-
ton of the scheme endorsed by Cool
idge will meet with further trouble
in the senate.

Overwhelming forces of darkness assail;

Wake all humanity, for victory is near

PROGRESSIVES'.
PURPOSE SHOWN.
BY YLAFOLLETTE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA R - Ex-
planning the motives and purposes of
the senate group with which he is
identified, Senator LaFollette, republi-
can, Wisconsin, declared in a radio adj
dress tonight that the great power of
national taxation" is being exercised
TO shift the cost of government and
the burden of the war debt to the
backs of the people" Secretary Mel
Ion, he declared, has Succeeded in re-
ducing the taxes on great wealth and
profiteering corporations by three bill
lion dollars"
The address was one of a weekly
series Of voters services" sponsored
by the National League of Women
Voters and broadcast through the
chain of the National Broadcasting
company.
"The progressive movement" Senator
LaFollette said, "is constructive. 1t is
the present-day phase of the age-long
struggle to make government serve all
the people"
To his group of independent western
republican senators and to his father
and predecessor in office, Senator La
Toilette attributed IAN impressive
record of useful constructive legisla-
ton"
The Elk Hills and Teapot Dome
naval oil reserve we're returned to the
people, he said, largely through "the
courageous, determined fight made by
progressives in the senate"
The "progressives," too, he said, have
engaged in persistent fight against
attempt ito corrupt government
through excessive use of money in
elections"
Turning to the resolution of Senator
Walsh, democrat, Montana, for an in
vestigation of the power industry,
which is now before the senate, La
Toilette asserted that "the attempt to
monopolize electric light, heat and
power is the most alarming develop
ment of the last decade" This in
vestigation, he asserted, is one that
should have the support of every user
of electric current
He described as "most vital tn ~
public welfare" the issues raised by
the governments foreign policy, as
serting that in Nicaragua, the president
''has gone so far as to create state
of war without the consent of con-
greSs"
Senator LaFollette concluded with n
tribute to Senator Norris of Nebraska,
who has been proposed for the presi-
dency by the independent group, as
serting that "he stands today the
acknowledged champion of the rights
and interests Of the American people"

OF ASSOCIATION

Members of the Douglas chapter of

publishes a wealth of aviation data
and information Many Of the local

knowledge to the local situation.
While no steps have been completed
toward securing an international air.
port for Douglas in spite of the fact
that it is agreed on every hand to be a
vital need for the future and some
thing which should be done immedi-
ately, there are many who express
themselves as feeling that at reason
ably early time in the future an air.
port will be built here.
1t hls been suggested that an ex-
planation of the proposal to take the
community hotel funds, provided the
hotel project were abandoned and
build an aviation field with them, is
necessary. To this the answer has
been made that the subscription was
for a hotel and not for IN airport or
golf links and many have expressed
dislike for having it appropriated for
other uses. In this connection it is
pointed out thot no attempt has been
made to appropriate the community
hotel funds for anything other than a
hotel and no such attempt is indicated.
The plan which has been suggested
and which might eventually be work
ed ont would be that those subscrib-
erS to the hotel proect who wish to
do SO might give their portion of the
hotel fund.- in event of disbandment OF
that project, to a fund to build an air.
port or golf links but persons not wish
ing to give their subscriptions for such
a purpose would be at liberty to with
draw their funds.

Southern members in the house and

retary as to his views on this propo-
sition is eagerly awaited 1t is con-
tended by some members of the COM
mittee that Mr.. Hoover is not in

ministration program.
However, HaWes, who with Willis

of his qualifications as an engineer,

OFFICERS STUDY
ROBBERIES OVER
ENTIRE COUNTY

Local police and denutv sheriffs are
working on a theory that the
burglar who has been operating reg
ularly in this city for the past several
weeks may be the same man who is
burglaring in Bisbee. Finger prints
secured from robberies in that city and
from robberies here have been COM
pared and, while there is difference
of opinion, some of the officers are
of the opinion that the same man is
operating in both cities
The finger prints are dim in most
cases and it has been hard to secure
good clear impressions from broken
glass and articles handled in the houses
robbed In one instance set OF
prints which we're peculiarly firm and
clear were finally found to have been
made by the householder instead Of
by the thief
Sheriff George r. Henshaw, who
came south yesterday from the north
ern part of the county where he had
been investigating a number of rob-
berries in Gleeson and Courtland, said
that there was some indication that q
robber ring is operating in the county
but that the evidence he has seen
leads, him to believe that the robberieS
in different localities are not related.

PHYSICIAN GOES
ON TRIAL FOR
WIDOWS MURDER


LOS ANGELES, Feb. IA P - Or.
Charles A. Mcmillan, middle aged ply
sician, went on trial here today ac-
cused of the murder of Mrs Amelia
Appleby, whose body was found by the
roadside near here Christmas day,
lashed in canvas bag.
At the close of the first day of the
trial there were eight women and four
men in the jury box Judge Edmonds,
instead of adjourning court at the
customary hour of 4:30 O'Clock in the
afternoon, extended the session for half
an hour in the belief that opposing
counsel would be able to complete the
selection of the jury.
Deputy District Attorney Menzies
passed the jury for cause and Attorney
Giesler followed suit The state de-
manded the right to reopen the chal-
lengeS.
1t was then that court was adjourned
for the day, the magistrate declaring
that he would pass upon the question
when court opens tomorrow morning
At the close of the session today the
defense had exercised IA peremptory
CHALLENGES and the prosecution five.
DR.. Mcmillan sat throughout the day
in calm manner looking at times az
his wife, Mrs. Catherine Mcmillan, who
at the morning session appeared as q
spectator in the court room.
She did not put in her appearance
at the afternoon session, it being ex-
planned by the defense counsel that
she was suffering from nervous head
ache.
Attorneys for the doctor promised
testimony of q sensational nature at
tomorrow'1 session.
From his line of questioning of
prospective jurors, Chief Defense
Counsel Jerry Giesler indicated that
the defense would attempt to bring out
that = person other than DR.. Mcmillan
had a motive to murder Mrs. Appleby,
and made various threats against her
life.
Mcmillan is accused of having muir
dered Mrs. AppIeby to obtain her
wealth and of having sewed her body,
still alive after ! blow on the head,
in sack, which was thrown from a
vehicle on the highway near here. He
has steadfastly denied that he COM
mitted the murder.
The prosecution claim that thev have
evidence in their possession which will
prove that the physician had IN un-
holy greed for gold" and that he had
laid plans for months to do away with
Mrs. Appleby.
When arresting cro'
Millans home he found sorting over a
mass of papers belonging to Mrs APP
pleby, police assert,
The officers also claim that bit of
canvas, similar in material to the sack
enclosing the body of the widow, was
found.
Her automobile according to the Of
ficers, was found in d garage rented by
the doctor
