CALLS SEAMEN'S
INSTITUTE SCAB
RECRUITING POST
Machine Guns in Sky
Pilot Nest
a. q Worker Correspondent.l

(By q Worker COTTespOndent.)
have seen several articles in the
Workers Correspondence Page of
The DAILY WORKER, telling how
rotten the Seamen's Church Institute,
Is South st. is. There is one thing l
want you and all workers to know.
The Seamen's Institute is a scab
agency. In the employment depart
ment there they are now hiring scabs
for subway strike. Where do these
scabs come from?
There are more than 10000 unem-
ployed seanen and lockers walking
along South ST., West st. and Erie
Basin, Brooklyn. They are starving
and most of them have no homes.
Some of them are willing to scab, but
many of them refuse. But the Sea-
mems Institute does not tell the
workers being hired that they are
going to be used as scabs.
I tell you, this Seamen's Institute
is one of the worst scab nests in New
York. Scabs are hired there to break
any strike. The big corporations con-
tribute to this Seamen's Institute for
that purpose. This institute is sup
posed to be charitable organization
to help the seamen, but that claim
is a lie. Just try to get something
for nothing there. The guards will
beat you to pulp. Every guard is
we'll armed. Why, the seamen say
there are machine guns hidden in this
building. I think this is regular
arsenal, for use in case the hungry
and iobless seamen start something
to get food. Workers of New York,
the Seamen's Institute is one of your
worse enemies. IT. BURNS.

SARATOGA PROVES
why GOVT. WANTS
NICARAGUA CANAL
Giant Carrier Just
Clears Locks
Editor. DAILY WORKER:

Editor, DAILY WORhER:
On our recent trip from the Phila-
delphia Navy Yard to San Pedro, the
u. S. S. Saratoga had close shave
coming thru the Panama Canal, and
when passing thru the Gatun locks
cleared with only four inches to spare
on each side, and with the auxiliary
apparatus on the huge aircraft car
rier scraping off several inches of
cement along the top Of the canal
walls. Which shows that the gov
eminent has more than one treason"
for its attempt to conquer Nicaragua
and crush any attempts by the Mica
raguan people for independence, for
they will need bigger canal for the
bigger aircraft carriers they plan to
build for the coming war in the Pa
cific.
There are 1000 hands on board and
just before we started out for duty
with the West fleet, nine airplanes
and 25 airplanes pilots were with the
personnel.
1t is expected that the Sarah will
start training at San Diego early in
the summer for the battle exercises
due to be held later in the season
around the Canal Zone. The aircraft
carriers Lexington and Langley, with
a division of destroyers plus sixteen
squadrons of fighting, bombing, tor
pedo and scouting planes will also
take part in these war practices.

4y Correspondent Charges 20 Percent Sick Fort SocA N1O York
Warren Textile
Workers Force
Mills to Close
(By a Worker Correspondent

by q Worker Correspondent
FALL RIVER, Mass, (By MaiD.
The Parker Co. mill in Warren
announced last night that the
plant would be shut down for one
week. This is illustrative of the
real situation inside the mill. De-
spite the superintendent state
meIsts to the contrary, the mill
could not be kept on a running
basis against the striking solidar-
ity of the workers.
The Arkwright Co. of Fall
River also makes an announce
ment that their plant will be closed
down indefinitely. The fact that
these two concerns have been
forced to close down makes it all
the more imperative that the pro-
gressive textile workers policy of
general strike be adopted. Other
wise the other plants in the city
will complete the orders for the
two companies while their two fac
tories are closed.
The time has come when the
workers of New England must
learn that their old established
custom of local strikes is obsolete
against the widely distributed
manufacturers. Organization for a
general strike must be the order
of the day at the Provisional Con-
ference to be held on Sunday in
Boston.

FOOD ROTTEN And
BARRACKS SIEVES
AT ISLAND CAMP
Soldiers Are Ragged
Slaves in a Jail
Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:
Casual didn't leave much unsaid
in his letter about Fort SlOcum which
appeared in The DAILY WORKER,
but / think l can add some facts
which make the men ask each other:
How are we going to be able to live
like this for three years"
Already 20 Per cent Sick.
We are here only a month and al
ready 20 per cent in each barracks
are sick from colds and from rotten
food. In the morning when we get
up $500 they give us gymnastics be-
fore we get black water, called coffee,
which nobody can drink. At noon they
give us some food which is often five
days old, and about 80 per cent Of us
don't touch the meals but are eating
Just jello and bread. After l o'clock
they give US odd jobs and we are
working about three hours very hard,
painting the barracks, cleaning the
windows, etc,
The 3rd Company lives in barracks
all of wood, so old that the wind goes
thru the wood like between two open
fingers. The ground in front of the
Bird Co. barracks is covered with man
ure over the new grass, so that it
helps convince the soldiers that they
are living in a stable Besides the
bad smell it is so dirty the men can
not even walk in front of their bar
racks.
Guard House Slaves.
In the guard house the prisoners
are working harder than slaves two
hundred years ago The food they
are given is even worse than what
the other soldiers get, not fit for
dogs. Their clothes are in rags and
their bodies exposed to the cold
The whole island is more like a
prison than like a camp, with guards
stationed everywhere lest some of the
"prisoners" escape. There is cath
Ollie church on the island, and every
soldier must go there on Sunday
mornings, according to officers or
dars. At the theatre every Wednes-
day they play all the militaristic
songs to make the soldiers more
against the workers, and have the
nerve to charge US 80 cents to get in.

Ask Obemsbobbers
Ads for Union Program
by a Worker CORRESPONDENCE

by Worker Correspondents
am a member of Commercial
Checkers Union, Local 874. We are
affiliated with the international
Longshoremen's Association. Our
union is going to give a ball, and
they have written to all of the en-
ployers, asking them to advertise in
the souvenir program the union will
print for the dance. They have writ
ten to some of the worst open shop
firms in the city. 1 am wondering if
it is right for the union to ask these
open shop firms to "con1e across"
with an ad in the souvenir program
book. Checkers are employed at all
docks handling cargo. The union has
asked all the firms whose goods we
handle to "eome across" with an ad.

Met Brutality
With Courage:
Is Put IN Jail

AS "hillbilly" I used to serve the
''big interests" in enslavement before
l served them as a soldier. 1 was not
wage-slave as have been since the
world has been "saved for democra-
cy," but a farmer who was held in
bondage by means of mortgages,
rents, interests and high prices.
Recruits in War.
My first day in the army was
enough to prove to me that recruits
at least We're not free. had ar
rived at Camp Funston early in the
morning lin 1879 and after being
cursed and driven and "put thru the
mill" and moving on still under strict
discipline for "mess" and "bunk," we
were halted for few minutes while
a priest presented us with the real
meaning of "full surrender" and ode
votion to the cause"
In the morning there was a call for
volunteers to typewrite, clean har-
ness, clean guns, etc. answered the
call to clean harness. l must have
made good there. 1 stayed on the job
over a week.
As a result was a week behind the
other recruits in drill.
Officers Right or Wrong.
Then I was put on the pivot of the
squad without any instruction what
soever. Squads right" and squads
left" were terms I had never heard
before. The drill sergeant immediate
ly got angry when l got lost, without
as much as asking "why,"
When I got lost again he got more
angry and Numbered little louder:
"Hold that pivot therew When l
got lost the third time he was right
at the place where 1 failed to hold
the pivot, and shaking his fist in my
face, he added to his other remarks:
"I'm talking to you'll You'll" In re-
Spouse to which removed his clench-
ed fist with another and retorted:
Keep your damn fist out of my face!
hear you'll"
Taken to Headquarters.
The sergeant was too yellow to
fight, and since buck private is not
supposed to have the right to cuss his
superior officers / was taken into Gus
tody and questioned by the higher
ups" The questions asked me were
answered correctly. The reason l did
not respond correctly to squads right
was admitted as just one. l was
patted on the back as zone who would
make good" and then asked, in sit
uation where an officer might be en-
tirely wrong: "What would 1 do?"
When I answered that l would not
take his insults and stupidity with
out answering him correctly, the
come to Jesus" attitude of the of
ficers Immediately changed, and 1
was dispatched to the guard house.
Such was my first lesson in the re-
lation between officers and privates
in the American army. 1t was also
my first lesson in class consciousness.

WAR TALK
1aas''Ns WA

A German leader DR.. Paul Oestreich. declares
that America and England will certainly be driven
into war; They will both WOO Germany for an ally,
and in this way Germany will rise in the council of
nations.
We have had among our own people men who
predict that war is certain. They say that human
nature cannot be changed and that war is nvitably
due to ensue.
Lloyd George says. "In every country it is,
part of the business of the fighting staff to work
out plan for defense against all conceivable
enemies. They gloat over their efficiency and like
every inventor, yean to put their machine to test
until possible war soon becomes likely and like
ly war gradually glides into the inevitable"
From time immemorial nations and tribes have
sought to protect" themselves by increasing their
armaments. A considerable portion of the press
is urging the United States greatly to increase
armament on sea and land in order to protect it.
self"
There never was a nation that could so protect
itself. Greece tried it, and Rome and Spain and
Germany and Russia, and they all fell.
The best protection for nation is for. it to
form some kind of combination with other nations
which public sentiment will endorse that shall
abolish war as final arbter.
The most hopeful sign today is that people are
finding out that war not only costs them money
and valuable lives, but destroys property and sets
back business,
II WOulQ De gOOQ CnlngS II every DOy ana girl
IN the country were compelled to serve two Years
under the tuteage of army officers in constructing
great public works, such as the Boulder Dam and
the Mississippi Reclamation projects.
There is no objection to universal conscription
if it is universal and if it is not primarily for the
purpose Of fighting. These boys and girls would
be potential soldiers in case we were ever attacked
but their employment upon constructive works
would not be in the nature of provocation of war
to other nations.
Some way other we must give up our arms
and defer questions of international dispute to
some other arbiter than Grass nationalism.
One hopeful sign is that plans of peace
openly discussed in international councils The
late Pan-American Congress was full of peace talk.
And ce-talking brings peace, just as
talk brings war The question after all is one of
public opinion and the sooner that public opinion
is turned away from causes of war and toward the
efforts of peace the better will be our prospects.

Horn Heralded Coming
of Early Locomotive

The earliest locomotives had
nothing more In the nature OF
warning of the engines approach
than tin horn blown by the engi-
ueer at more or less frequent in
tervals, but under some circum'
stances this proved inadequate.
The resulting volume of sound de-
pended largely upon the lung power
Of the engineer and The direction
and force of wind.
On a spring morning In the year
1883 a farmer was driving to mar
ket with a load Of butter and
eggs and, being unfamiliar with
locomotives, he loitered on the
track too long and failed to hear
the warning signal from the tin
horn, whereupon the whole outtit
was scattered over the landscape.
The bill which the company had
to pay was regarded as staggering
and Ashland Baxter. who was di-
rector of the company concerned,
paid visit to George Stephenson
Z at Alton Grange to confer with
the great inventor to ascertain II
something in the nature of an ade-
quate warning could not be invent
ed to keep people off the track.
The result was that Stephenson

American Figures In London Season
Most Brilliant Since Pfe-War Days

LONDON, June UNITED
Fress) s)-More Americans h n
ever before will be presented at
court during the present social
season in London, which is the
busiest and most brilliant since
pre-war days. There are five
courts instead Of the customary
four this year, which means more
entertaining and more oppor-
tunity for American women to
be presented. 1t is expected that
entertaining in Mayfair viii !
reach an unprecedented scale
while American dollars play their
important part in social scheme.
Mrs. Alanson Houghton, wife
of the American Ambassador,
was inundated with inquiries
when it was learned that an ex-
ira court would be held. But
she was able to add only six ex-
ira presentations to her list. Re-
ceptions in Mayfair and Park
Lane will include many names
familiar in Park Avenue.
Many entertainments will be
held every evening from now uTl-
til the Goodwood races in August
bring the season to a close. De-
butante dances have started on
what will probably be a nom
stop run. Magnificent private
houses may be rented for an
evening or. for a part of t h e
season, while the owners move
into a flat and do their own en-
tertaining in hotels.
Polka Revived
Bachelor girls will entertain in
their own flats this year, "a new
departure for London society.
This modern tendency, however,
will be offset by some hostesses
who will revive the old-time polka
at their dances. The general
trend of the season will be to-
ward the old-fashioned, as de-
butantes will wear long skirts
and the old-time bun will be the
predominating note in coiffures.
White will be the accepted "com-
ing out" color, while flowers, real
and artificial, will be popular
for day and evening wear.
