Citizen VS.. Inhabitant.

= Garrett of Tennessee, prominent
member of the House of Representa-
tives and next senator from his state
unless all signs fail, raises a question
that you might care to look into.
Mr.. Garrett, who has been told he
is something of parliamentarian, in
objecting to Mr.. Beck of Pennsyl-
vania taking his seat as successor to
William S. Ware in the House, made
the point that man can be citi-
zen without being an inhabitant.
See what crime can do with a man,
even a gentleman like Mr.. Garrett
of the "first families"
Mr.. Garrett's party, the democrat
ic party which has been a criminal
conspiracy since it ruined Buchanan,
got up the theory that a man can be
an inhabitant without being a citi-
zen. Hence, see millions of native
Americans denied the ballot, al
though producers of the wealth, the
luxury of the states in which they
are shut out from their government,
A Southern "Negro" is an inhab-
itant, but not citizen, says Mr.. Gar
rett's party. Northern republicans
WGEc SllclAb. DllChCS SiNCo SOhoNHbS
the democratic party repeated, and
agreed on one step further.
Since the Negro" who is repub-
lican, can be an inhabitant without
being a citizen, according to Mr.. Gar
rett, it follows that white repub-
lican in Pennsylvania can be a citi-
zen without being an inhabitant and
citizen.
Thus both ends appear against the
middle. Mr.. Garrett was all right as
long as he stayed in his class but
when he drew a law book on Mr..
Beck he got up his own obituary.
The G.. o. p. learns that the "Ne-
gro" was not put out of his govern
ment on account of trace" but on
account of political belief. 1t is a
long lane that has no turning. Like
wise, worm will turn.

CHICAGO, Aug. %. - Several
hundred members of the Chicago

Locals 5, So, SO and 81, at mass
protest meeting held here recently,
unanimously voted for a resolution
condemning the reactionary official
dom of the Capmakers Local 5 for
expelling from membership in the
union l. Feingold. left wing leader,
and demanding of.the general exc
cutive board his immediate rein
statement and the preferment of
charges against the reactionary Off
cialdom.
Feingold, whose removal from a
general organiEership by the Inter-
national Zaritsky clique had not
halted his fight for militant fight
against the Entertainments of the
employers, but had instead intensi-
fled it, was expelled by decision of
Local of the Chicago executive
board.
The officials, in bringing this de-
cision to the local meeting brought
along a squad of thugs to help them
enforce their subsequent order that
neither the members present nor
Feingold himself speak in discussion
of this arbitrary decision.
The resolution passed by the mass
meeting declares: "We wholeheart-
eddy protest against the rule by in

to all elementary rules by which the

guided, and that we protest against

The Big Pond at the Byou
Is a Comedy IN a Little Way
GEORGE MIDDLETON and A. E.

GEORGE MIDDLETON and A. E.
" Thomas are drawing laughs in
the Bijou these nights with com
edy called "The Big Pond" tho the
tickling of the risibles of the audi
ence is at least as much due to the
excellent acting of Harlan Briggs,
Kenneth McKenna and Reed Brown,
Jr. as to anything in the lines sup
piled by Messrs. Middleton and
Thomas.
1t is a story of wealthy Amer
lean family (Billings) from Vernon,
Ohio, in Europe, with the father
cursing at everything foreign in
true hundred-per-cent fashion while
the daughter wakes romantic over
the skies and puddles of Venice
and more so over the polite Pierre de
Mirande who actually gave her the
impression that he loved her.
Thrown in for good measure was
young fellow Ronny Davis (Red
Brown, Jr.) who worked in the Bill
lings rubber factory in Vernon This
fellows job In the comedy was to
provide some competition for the af-
fections of Miss Billings.
Pierre de Miranda had wealthy
ancestors but unfortunately they
were all dead and gone and so was
Pierre's money, if he ever had any.
But he could twirl a wicked mus
tache, bend a nasty spine and tell
Reubens from an election cam
paign poster of Herbert Hoover.
To cut three-act comedy short,
Miss Billings induces her foreigner
hating father to take Pierre back
home to Vernon and give him job
in his factory at 500 per week.
Billings consented in the hope that
the Frenchman would be laughed
out of Ohio by the Rotarians. This
is not what happened. Within a
year Pierre was running the fac
tory and he had sold himself to
Billings. AS atesult and due to the
business abfity of Pierre the
Frenchman's salary was raised to
$4,000 year.
Pierre's technique was perfect
except in one respect. He did not

LITTLE CAESAR"
DID NOT ANSWER
DAILY QUESTION
His Henchmen Were
Detectives Is Rumor

by a Worker Correspondent
Last week a member of Local 8
handed me a copy of the Daily
Worker of August 7 to read. Well,
l must confess that I have read the
paper at least six times and each
time my eyes were opened more to
the rascalitv of this man Breach and
his pet officers. So on Tuesday
night I went to the meeting to hear
Breach or Hogan answer some of
the questions that your worker cor
respondents had asked them. But
l was very much disappointed.
On my way into the meeting hall
l noticed a large number of the
membership which was not permit
ted to enter the meeting. And l
inquired as to the reason and the
only thing I could find out was that
they had all paid up dues cards.
And that Breach gave orders not to
let them into the meeting. He must
have feared some of those members
if not all of them. Maybe those
members whom Breach is keeping
out are in position to show his
rascality up to the membership
You know that he does not like any
one that can debate with him.
Well, got into the hall after
had to pass along line of thugs on
the stairs, and l settled myself in
the front so as to be able to see and
hear all that was going on.
The meeting opened and the chair
man or whatever he is, turned the
meeting over to this man Breach.
Breach talked about everything I'M
der the sun but he never answered
those questions, only threatened the
membership with a raise of dues.
But from where l was sitting l
could see that he was honestly
beaten on the vote Hogan just sat
in and grinned when Breach said
that Hogan was an honest man. l
was very surprised man to hear
Mr.. J. Solomon try and defend his
masters and at the same time attack
the readers of the Daily Worker.
The dirty and filthy language that
he used would not have been used
by the vilest man, let alone a labor
official.
Is not this man Solomon the same
gent who was so glad to hear that
Hogan hadsto go to Jail? Well, l
guess that 500 week has changed
his heart.
While Breach was talking he
seemed very nervous and red and
the sweat on his forehead was very
noticeable. And what a lot of butts
he smoked! l guess he was afraid
that the masses were ready to give
him the air.
Breach sure has some fine collec-
ton of animals around him under
the guise of officers. Some are jail
birds and book makers and what
not.
During his Caesar" talks he
stated that he controlled New York
City's electrical license board
through his charts. 1t is possible
that Tammany has turned over this
board to that carpet-bagger.
Well, after the meeting the mem
bers were talking about the ques-
tons in the Daily Worker and some
said that Breach was surrounded
with stoolpigeons. 1t was said that
years ago one of his present officers
worked for Burns Detective Agency
also one of his present field force
worked for the Kenney Agency right
before he came into Local 3.
