E. Rodriques Fights
For New Union
By SOL AUERBACH.

There was meeting of strikers
in fall River recently. The Textile
Mills Committee was leading the
workers of the American Printing
Company. At this meeting a small
girl with lively black eyes, long curl
ing hair and a rebels snub nose
asked the chairman if she could
speak. "But what will you say to
the workers2" asked the chairman.
Leave it to me, | know what to
tell them. I'm a worker myself" "
And when Emma Roderiques, IA
year-old worker and striker of the
American Printing Company spoke,
she went straight to the hearts and
thoughts of the listening workers.
Since then she has been a militant
leader in Fall River, striking cour-

yet completely under the domination
of the rank and file.
James Reid and Albert Weisbord
were chosen as the chief officers of
the new national organization. Great
enthusiasm and prolonged cheering
marked the selection of these two
figures in textile struggles as coll
leagues in the leadership Of the des-
tiny of the union. Reid was elected

and congratulations of the Workers
(Communist) Party at the consuma-

tumultuous ovation had subsided,
that the Party members always
stand at the forefront of the work
ers struggles and are always willing
to sacrifice their time and energies
for the workers. He pledged the
moral and financial support of the
Workers Party to the strikes now
going on and to be called in the fu-
ture. M. Yusim, greeted the con-
vention in the name of the Young
Workers (Communist) League.
Presenting a remarkable picture
of freshness, optimism, fire and
enthusiasm, the delegates, rang
ing in age from white haired but
sturdy men and women to young
workers under twenty, reported of
the miserable conditions in their
locality, of the absence, or de-
generacy of a workers organiza-
tion in their sections and told how
the masses of textile workers were
eagerly waiting for real union to
come into the field.
Leaders of the needle trades
unions, Of the miners union of the
Workers International Relief and Of
the International Labor Defense
then addressed the delegates and
extended to them the greetings of
the masses of workers they repre-

DETROIT, Mar. 23. (P)-New Ford cars are coming off six assembly lines under their own power at an average rate of 800 day This was the state ment made to a representative of The New York Times by officials of the Ford Motor Company.
 All the $500 Ford dealers in the United States have been supplied with sample cars, it was said, and deliver ies to customers have begun. The de- livers have not gone very far yet, but from now on they are expected to in crease rapidly day by day.
 As evidence of a definite start it was stated that, including dealers cars and those in the hands of cus- toners, there are now 27,000 new Fords in service If any dealers have not received their samples it is be- cause they have been temporarily held up in branch distribution depots, from which they will be shipped in the next few days. The home office here knows of no such case, however. It's records show that enough sample cars to supply all the dealers have been shipped from the plants. In addition to this number of cars have been shipped abroad.

calling attention to complaints Of a
nuisance caused by birds alighting in
trees and on buildings on Pennsylvania
avenue each evening. This matter has
received the attention of the Commis-
sioners in previous years, and several
methods have been tried to abate the
nuisance.
The Fire Department has attempted
to drive the birds from the trees by
the use of water. on the District Build
ing the use of fioodlights has been
tried and the firing Of guns has also
been suggested.
1.-The fact Of the matter is that these
birds appear once year, staying for
a comparatively short time, and cause
a great deal of nuisance during their
visit. Representatives of the Depart
ment of Agriculture have protested
against killing the birds and the Com
missioners believe that no methods
should be adopted along this line.
II feel that there is nothing that
can be done in the matter, although I
agree with you that these birds are

Watermelon Came From Africa.

The traditional appetite of the col
ored man for watermelon is due to the
fact that he acquired his fondness for
the watermelon in the land of his
origin, Africa, where they are found to-
day growing wild. That watermelonS
were grown by the ancient Egyptians is
proved by numerous paintings as well
as carvings on monuments. The fruit
was probably introduced into England
some time In the sixteenth century.
According to the Master Graves. 1t

RESOLUTION
BY Maryland w. c. T. u.


WHEREAS, the 18th Amendment
was incorporated in the Constitution
by due process of law and the Ma
tional Prohibition Act, generally
called the Volstead Act, was adopt
ed by Congress as its enforcement
code; both having been sustained by
no less than forty decisions OF the
Supreme Court; and
WHEREAS, the Office OF Presi-
dent of the United States carries
with it the influence Of national
leadership in addition to large ap-
pointing power; and
WHEREAS, Alfred e. Smith, the
candidate for President ON the DEM
ocratic ticket, has announced his
opposition to prohibition and his
purpose to recommend an amend
ment to the Volstead Act which in
effect would increase the alcoholic
content of intoxicating beverages
and an amendment to the 18th
Amendment which would legalize
the manufacture, sale and importa-
ton of intoxicating liquors under
state control; proposals which adj
mittedly nullify the intent and pur-
pose of the 18th Amendment; re-
store the saloon even though it
might appear under another name.
and create additional problems in
law enforcement; and
WHEREAS. Herbert c. Hoover
and Charles Curtis, the candidates
for President and Vice-President, ON
the Republican ticket, by party plat.
form, by their own acts and by
public declarations are committed
to observance and enforcement OF
the Prohibition law, and have de-
clared against the repeal OF the 18th
Amendment and also that any mod
lfication of the enforcement laws
which permits that which the con-
stitution forbids Is nulllficatOn.
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That in order that
the Dry sentiment may be fully rep
resented in the coming election, we
urge all who recognize the corrupt
ing influences of the liquor traffic.
the degenerating effects of alcoholic
liquors as beverage, the waste Of
money caused by the consumption OF
liquors, the baneful effects of strong
drinks on morals and public health,
upon all who remember what the
saloon was and what it did, to vote
on November 9Th and to vote for
Herbert c. Hoover for President and
Charles Curtis for Vice-Pesident.
We believe it is not a question OF
partisan politics and it is not our
purpose to urge changes in party af-
iliations except where prohibition is
involved. This is question OF the
supremacy Of law, and of the sup
port of the Constitution Of the Unit
ed States.

DR.. Joseph I. France, of Port De-
posit. former United States Senator,
on Thursday took his Russian bride
into the naturalization Office of the
United States District Court, Balti-

cation for citizenship.
The former Tatiana Vladimirovna
Dechtereva made her initial applica-
ton a year ago and was told that
she could become naturalized with
out the usual wait of five years.
The fact that she was the wife of an
American citizen entitled her to this
consideration, it was explained.
The petitioner gave her occupa-
ton as housewife and her birthplace

1906.
