ASK RAIL BOARD
TO ENFORCE LAW

Chicago.-If the United States
Board of Mediation can not protect
the rights of employees under the Fed
eral Railway Act of 1926, please in
form US that we may be free to de-
fend these rights ourselves.
The above is the substance of a tart
telegram forwarded to the board by
representatives of Ia unions of en-
ployes of the Chicago & Alton Rail
road.
Since the shopmen's strike of 1922
this railroad, which is in the hands of
federal receiver, has forced employees
to join a company union" Dues for
the fake union are deducted from
wages. More than three-fourths of the
employees retain membership in trade
unions affiliated to A. F. of L., but
Receiver Bierd refuses to recognize
these organizations as representing
the employees.
"Can Mr. Bierd and the carrier be
compelled to observe the law as plain
/ ly written?" the unionists ask the
Mediation Board.

Young Pioneers who were dis

brutality when they refused to
promise to give up their Communist
activities among the children of
workers.
In dozens of cities where our
comrades had rented halls for cam
paign rallies, the fascist lackeys of
the ruling class intimidated hall
owners who returned the rent for
the halls, telling the local comrades
that they could not rent their halls
for Communist meetings.

In the Is states where the Work

ballot, the difficulties of getting a
working class party officially recog-
nized as legally entitled to put its
candidates before the workers, i'm
posed by the ruling class, are so
great that they were not overcome
for this election. The Workers
(Communist) Party has accom-
plished real achievement in get

in waging a rtrenuous and wide

thousands of workers never propa-
gandized so effectively before, lay

AN AMUSING COMEDY
Allan Dinehart Stars in Girl Trouble at the
Belmont Theatre

A MILDLY amusing comedy is now
"A playing at the Belmont Theatre:
1t is called "Girl Trouble" and is
written by Barry Connors, who has
reputation along Broadway for
turning out entertaining little
farces.
The play is about the love affairs
of Jimmy Lockhart, played by Allan
Dinehart, who was the leading man
in Mr.. Corners first play, Apple
sauce" 1t shows how Jimmy avoids
the members of the fair sex, who
are constantly following him around.

When he was seventeen years of
age Jimmy had married circus &C.

by his mother, who keeps a watchful
eye on him. When the play opens
the carnival girl meets our hero,

Of course, mother objects, and on
that basis the fun is distributed to
the audience. 1t is well after IL

able to go home feeling happy.
To make it possible for the play
to continue for the required length
Of time, there has to be the usual
