to yoke the Republican party and its
organization up to religious warfare.
We have scrupulously maintained an
attitude of obStension from that kind

first raised this issue four years ago at
the Democratic national convention in
Madison Square Garden, wish to pursue
it, they are welcome to do so.

Byrd in statement here yesterday de-
clared that Bishop James Cannon, jr.,
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, Openly raises the religious issue
in anti-CathOlic statements wherein he
attacks the Catholic religion under the
thin excuse of endeavoring to prove that
the Catholics are more intolerant than
Protestants, independent of politics"
Bishop Cannon has said that his op-
position to Gov. Smith is because of pro-
hib.tion and notAbecause of his religion, -
the governor said He has said that
ne would have supported Senator Walsh
as dry Catholic, yet in his effort to
Republicanize Virginia. Bishop Cannon
openly raises the religious issue. 1t is
grave responsibility for Bishop Cannon
to instill hatred and make the hearts of
Americans against other Americans
merely because they chose to worship
the same God we worship, but in diff

SPEND 100000
TO BUILD penn.
NATIONAL GUARD
Plan Requirements
to Strikebreakers
(By a Worker Correspondent

WILKES BARRE, Pa, (By MaiD g.
Announcement came recently from
Harrisburg that over one million dol
lars will be used to improve and build
larger buildings for the Pennsylvania
National Guard in order to greatly
increase it's efficiency and enlarge
the Pennsylvania National Guard
which is otherwise known as the
State Militia. This the workers must
take into consideration and ask:
Why does the state want a bigger
militia? Why is it willing to spend
at this time over $1,000,000 for this
purpose? Why, when hundreds of
thousands of workers thruou
Pennsylvania are unemployed, does it
not spend one cent for their main
tenance, and why the state does moth
ing in connection with the support of
the thousands of miners and their
families who are starving in the soft
coal fields? Why is nothing done by
the state for the fifty per cent of the
miners who are unemployed in the
anthracite field, while it is able to
spend over a million dollars for state
militia?
The workers have long ago learned
thru experience what the state
militia is being used for in time of
strikes and for what reason it sup
ports this proposition. Especially the
workers around these particular
vicinities should look into the ques-
ton because it is at these places that
he unemployment is the greatest.
The following places are the ones
that are allotted sums:
Wilkes Barre, $4,000; Scot Dale,
$4,000; Norristown, 100000; Loeb
Haven, 100000; Latrobe, $4,000;
Lancaster, 100000; Carbondale,
$4,000; Harrisburg, 100000; East
Stroudsburg, $4,000; and for the
whole of Luzerne county $4,000 for
the purpose of training an army TO
be used in time of strike to shoot
down the miners and help starve them
into submission when the coal opera
tors want to break the strike.
Why should not this money which
has come from the workers be used
for the purpose of relieving the UNI
employment. situation. The only way
that this can be abolished is by the
workers organizing a Labor Party
thru which they can abolish alto
gether the state militia.

Hours, Wages
in Hospital
lRu q Worker COrrespondent.l

(By q Worker COFreSpondent.)
l was until recently a worker at
the Beekman Street Hospital at
Beekman and Water Street was
porter in that imitation of hos
pital. Conditions were so rotten that
l quit. l have worked in many hos
pitfalls in this city as porter, elevator
operator, and dishwasher and other
dirty jobs in the hospital kitchens.
Miserable Treatment.
l have also been an orderly in the
hospitals. Of all the miserably paid
workers and all the workers held in
contempt by our so-called superiors,
you can't beat the man who does the
messy work in the hospital. I'll tell
you how it was at BeeEman St. l
worked about 10 hours day, swab-
bing up, busting and polishing. All
the porters get there is $50 month
and rate hole called the "help's
quarters" The food was as rotten
as you can get it. They don't give a
damn what they give the help to eat.
If we don't like it we can get out;
there are enough porters hanging
around Frank Pettit's and all the
gypping employment agencies which
supply help to the hospitals.
They don't care much how they
treat the help at Beekman Street
Hospital. They can fire us any time
they want to; we have no comeback.
The kitchen help there also get no
more than $50 a month, with the
same filthy quarters.
All Rotten.
1t was not much better at the other
hospitals I have worked in, the Broad
Street Hospital an awful place at
the foot of Broad Street, Flower Hos
pital, and St. Luke's, that looks like
palace outside and in the private
rooms where the rich lie, but is quite
different in the helps quarters. They
don't pay the hospital porters, or
derlies, and kitchen workers any
more than $50 a month in any hos
pital. And don't forget, we have to
clean up after the patients mess up
their rooms, we have to carry pa
tients around on stretchers, we have
to do lot of dirty work in hospitals
that you can't mention in news
paper. And all for $50 a month.

Children Eat Wood to

fBu a Worker Correspondent

CHESTER, Pa, (By MaiD.-The
people of Chester have been laboring
under the delusion that prosperity
has been with us and was here to
stay forever While the streets were
being tramped by jobless workers and
the employment bureaus of the diff
ferent industries were thronged day
after day by men seeking work, the
employed men continued to think that
prosperous tines were here.
Miners Relief Conference.
The trade unions have been strange
" silent about the question Of unem-
ployment and labor conditions in gen
eral. Then who was responsible for
pricking the bubble of prosperity
here?
A conference was called for miners
relief to which the unions were in
vited. Some few responded and set
to work to get relief for the miners
of Penn, Ohio and Colorado.
The members of the different or
ders who attended suddenly discover
ed that their members were destitute
and in need of relief of their own. and
that many were bordering on actual
starvation.
Children Starving.
One mother had gone the limit of
her credit with her breadman and had
been refused. She went to the flour
barrel and found it empty, She tried
the corn-meal can and got about a
pound. Then she found a few hand
fuls of oatmeal and with these she
tried to make bread. 1t was not sue
cess but it was all her children had
to eat. The father had not mad a
job since Thanksgiving"
When the case was brought to the
attention of the union the leaders
turned it over to- the women's auxili-
airy without any further comment.
The brother was given short-time
job Men on the job who were not
acquainted with his conditions were
surprised to see him open a paper and
take out crust of bread for his

grin and bear until forced to disclose
the facts.
Hungry Children Eat Sticks.
There is another case of children
chewing sticks to keep from hunger,
which the informer corrected to read,
ito appease their appetites, because, "
he added "they couldn't live on
sticks"
Wherever you approach the work
ers you hear that our own people
must be helped first, and yet they
must be told about the miners. Peo-
pie look around and notice that many
houses are for rent. Those who can't
get work beg, borrow or steal. Petty
stealing has been going on for some
time. This is another page in the
prosperity story.

- DRAMA SA
Sherlock Holmes With
Star Cast Revived at the
Cosmopolitan Theatre

THE second of series of revivais
L to be presented by Chamberlain
Brown at the Cosmopolitan Theatre
is Sherlock Holiness" by William
Gillette based on the exploits OF Sir
Conan Doyle's famous character.
Altho the cast includes several
well-known stars, of the past and
present decade, the play seems to
have something lacking. Whether the
modern clothes worn by the charac-
tiers in story of the past is respon-
sible or not is hard to determine.
Suffice to say, the play does not ring
true. Some of the mystery plays
which New York is full of, at the
present, appear to be more realistic
at times.
The title role is played by Robert
Warwick, who portrays Sherlock
Holmes, the part made famous by
William Gillette. Mr.. Warwick is a
suave and polished master detective.
Professor Morrison, king of Lon
don's underworld and arch enemy of
the detective is played in superb
fashion by Frank Keenan,, one of
Americas veteran actors. Another
old-timer in the cast is FRITZ Shelf
in the minor role of a maid.
Other members of the cast are
Julia Hoyt in the role of scheming
Horace Braham, in skill
ed character role and Stanley Logan
as DIR. Watson.
