PROBE OF DRY
ENFORCEMENT
IN u. S. ASKED
VoIstead Law Attacked in
House for Undermining
National Character.
BY DEXTER M. KEEZER

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Assert-
ing that the Volstead act is making
criminals by the hundreds of thou
sands each year" and undermining
the character of our people and
the foundation principles of our
Government" Representative S.
Harrison White Dem), Colorado,
has introduced a resolution calling
for an investigation Of prohibition
enforcement.
According to Whites resolution
dry law violations at present pro-
duce about IS per cent of the cases
handled by the Federal courts, and
these courts, in handling about
$4,000 dry law cases annually, i'm
pose from 5000 to 5000 years I'M
prisonment.
White charged that since the
Volstead act became effective several
hundred persons have been killed
in alleged efforts to enforce the
law, and thousands of other per-
sons have been fired upon and
wounded"
The resolution was prompted by
recent cases where citizens limo
cent of dry law violations have
been fired on by enforcement agents.
A remedy for the disorder caused
by the attempts to enforce the pro-
hibition law must be found, White
insists. He would have a congress
sional committee of five make a
detailed report on the adninistra-
ton of the prohibition law, it's eff
fects upon the people, the feasibil-
ity of its successful enforcement,
and the wisdom of reepaling, modi-
flying, or amending it,"
The committee particularly would
be directed to investigate recent
shoo.ings by enforcement officers,
and to find out whether they
themselves observe or violate the
law or evade the constitutional and
legal rights of the people. to be Sc
cure in their person and property,
and against unreasonable search and
seizure"

good. What the complete act is
don't know, but the girl carries it of
very we'll.
Frank BraidWood, who has made
some records, sings a number of
songs of the popular variety and
tells some stories. He is billed as
a singing cowboy and makes several
jokes about that. He also is in the
act of the Watson Sisters. He has
good voice.
She comes out of an egg and wants
a worm, and she gets one. But in
stead of eating it she does tricks
with it. Mary Sweeney is the girl
who does the splits and other things
while hanging on a rope. She also
does a jazz dance while hanging
by her teeth. She has a bit of a
sensation in which she hangs by
her teeth and is swung out over the
audience.
1t is seldom that one sees a
trapeze act on the stage now. The
Flying Harpers work on the flying
bar and the stationary ones. One
OF the two men is more or less the
clown and as such does some stunts
that seem very difficult. The girl
in the act does the catching and the
others the flying. Some good trapeze
work.
Comedies and newsreels complete
the program.

ROSARIO, Argentina, July 81
The city government today openly
attempted to shift to the telephone
company the burden of ending the
strike of the operators by force by
informing the company officials that
the corporation will be fined 500
pesos a day until service is resumed
In reply the company stated that
it is9 impossible to resume service
Immediately due to the fact that
strikers refuse to permit strike
breakers to repair the lines.
All attempts of the telephone COM
pany to resume service have failed
to date, due to the united resistance
of the strikers of Rosario. Scabs
attempting to repair the telephone
wires have been effectively stopped
by groups of strikers who have en-
ployed all means effectively.

for children of three different age
groups, from to II years, from II
ito Ia years and for children over

carefully tested throughout each
performance to guide the future
productions at the Childrens Thea

are given lists of the plays, with
questions, asking which ones they
like best and why, which the children
fill out at school.

FARMERS CROPS

RATES TOO HIGH
Cotton Mortgaged to

(By a Worker Correspondent
RIPLEY, Calf, (By MaiD.-
While the capitalist class as whole
in these United States is a bloody
lot, the petty capitalists of Cali
fornia are by far the most thieving
blood-sucking set of pirates heard
of since Captain Kidd was hung.
In the Palo Verde Valley, which
is the chief cotton area of the state
water famine has set in. This
area is farmed by irrigation meth
DDS, the source of water supply be-
ing the Colorado River.
The crops are standing up in the
field burning with drought, and
many a poor farmer and tenant
sees absolute ruin and starvation
staring him in the face. Before one
can plant his crop he must pay
costly water rates and assessments
to a water combine whose engines
have all winter to perfect the best
methods for raising water out Of
the RIVER during the summer.
The farmers are being constant.
ly taxed for costly hydraulic ma.
chinery, dredges, suction pumps
etc. Yet here in July, when water
is needed most, and the temperature
ranges from lit to 100 degrees
Fahrenheit in the shade, very little
water is to be had.
Most of the farmers are tenants

and share-croppers. With the cot.
cember quotations running from 81
to "a cents, many had planned to
migrate in the event of a good
crop. 1t may be (this is purely a
supposition) that there is some de.
sign in the present water-shortage
tending toward keeping these poor
farmers and tenants in continued
slavery another year.

TRY TO BLAME
STRIKERS FOR
FOREMAN DEATH
Paid Press Aids Cohen
Bosses
a. q Worker Correspondentl

(Bg a Worker Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, (By Mail) :
The usual tactics of vicious propa-
ganda thru an all too willing, even
anxious press, and no newspapers
anywhere can "better" the local
ones as journalistic prostitutes, are
being employed by the bosses
against the strikers in the campaign
now going ON to organize the cloth
ing workers in this city.
The foreman of the S. J. Cohen
and Bros. clothing factory, at 18th
and Callowhill SITS, Ermino Mattea,
was killed by a speeding sedan as
he was running for a trolley to go
to work.
Immediately the lawyers for the
concern, at which nearly all the
workers are out on strike, asked
Assistant Director of Safety Hearn
to investigate the case, charging
that Mattea was deliberately run
over by gangsters hired by the strik-
ing clothing workers of the plant.
In fact David Felix, one of the
attorneys said, "While we have no
definite proof, the tragedy has all
the earmarks of a deliberate muir
der. We believe gangsters, hired by
the strikers, killed Mattea."
The police of course obligingly
supported the murder" theory, and
the newspapers of the city picked
up all possible material, including
pictures, and presented sensational
stories of the strike. The reason
for the avidity with which this in
cident was handled by the press
was to show the public what "bad"
people the strikers are.
The only recourse remaining to
the strikers and to all other work
ers wanting to know the workers
side of this strike as we'll as all
other news of interest to workers is
to read daily The DAILY WORK
Err.
Incidentally the papers make
much of the police statements about
pickets at the plant, and about how
well the public guard not only the
clothing factories where the strike
is now in progress, but also the
homes of the bosses.
Police details have been guarding
the home of Cohen for two weeks.
No workers homes are being guard
ed by the police, nor is their any
likelihood for any such protection
for the workers under capitalistic
rule. &C. RABIN.

HANdOuTS

The type of mendacity emitted by
preachers when they tell the worker
he is lucky dog under capitalism
and if he has hard luck not to worry
because he'll be happy after he's
dead, is common. But the Rev.
Thomas Whelpley, Presbyterian,
stepped a little out of line. He hired
out as a taxi driver. The capitalist
press has been filled with lurid tales
Of incidents that were supposed to
have transpired in his cab, but which
are not believed by any except the
most eullible. He told of one wO-
man who jumped into his cab and
said: Drive me to He'll" Another,
who shouted; Turn around. Turn
around Don't you hear? Go back.
Damned if she'll get him. He's

managed to keep from starving at

ton to the yellow capitalist press

indian PRINCES
BACK ENGLAND

LONDON, July 31-The Indian
princes who have collected in Lon
don to gain the favor of the British
rule against the Indian people, have
adjourned their conference until De-
tober.
They had been comforting with the
Indian States Committee in order to
work out government favorable
both to themselves and England.
The Indian nobility feel that their
position would be threatened if more
power were given to the people and
they have expressed their willing
ness to support the imperial protec-
tor rather than to permit control by
the Indian peasants.
