MILITARIST ORGY
AT INAUGURATION
Hoover Hats Parade
to Feed Belly

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Her-
bert Hoover began his reign, as the
front and mouthpiece OF American
big business and imperialism, with
muttered oath at the capitol build
ing that he would support the con-
stitution, with read speech in ia
vor of more police, and a parade of
$4,000 troops, picked detachments
of the army, navy and state militia.
Facetious observers remarked
that the new dynasty started "all
wet" for a cold rain splashed on
the FURNISHED bayonets and gaudy
flags of the paraders, and low clouds
somewhat obscured the phalanxes
of imperialism's latest and most ter
rible weapon against colonial peo-
Piles, the airplanes and dirigibles.
The professional village-bombers
and baby killers had to fly too low
to be seen by those near the tall
buildings, or too high to be seen at
all in the overcast sky.
Hoover Must Eat.
Just before the head of the pa
r&de came in front Of the White
House, Hoover, about 2 p. M, so
anxious for other people to starve
during war time for the greater
glory of the bankers and munitions
makers, felt twinges of hunger in
his fat interior, and halted the pa
rade, letting it stand out in the driz-
zling weather for half or three-quar-
tiers of an hour while the president,
with certain invited guests, had a
sandwich. and buffet lunch in the
White House.
'Hooverizing."
When the man who makes others
Hooverize, but don't do it himself,
was fed to repletion, he went out
to the reviewing stand, gave the
signal, and for two hours took the
salutes of his soaked and bedraggled
pawns of empire, the soldiers and
sailors Of the army and navy.
At 1855 the Marine Band played
"Hail to the Chief" at the capitol
building, the crowd of hopeful Of
fice-seekers out on the lawn tilted
their dripping umbrellas and shouted
a mirthless cheer and settled down
to the agony of Hoover reading his
3,000-word speech. Just before he
started his reading, Chief Justice
Taft administered the usual oath at
1:O7 p. NJ. on a bible opened at the
text: "For without a vision the peo-
pie perish" Then the parade

just wherever there happens to be
space for a few lines. This can
easily be avoided by a little fore
thought in planning the arrange
ment of the paper.
Where the material is run in a
solid mass, instead of in two col
umns, it is not tempting to the
average worker to read. Dividing
lines between columns improve the
appearance.
Now and then we find an issue
made up of sheets of two different
sizes, which makes an untidy i'm
preston.
When the typewriter on which
the stencil is cut has clear, sharp
type and is absolutely clean, the re-
suit is almost a printed effect, as
in the first issue of the Stanton
Miners Blast, district 8.
Progress In Technique.
In going over one issue after an
other of any particular paper, and
one paper another of any particular
district, progress in the technical
handling of the papers can be easily
discerned. Take the Hattie Carne-
gle Worker, district 2, for instance.
The first issues were overcrowded,
with small margins, in spots scarce
ly readable. At present the paper
has an excellent appearance, with
articles well placed and good spacing
in margins and between articles.
District 2 in general has the best
looking papers of the mimeographed
type, and an examination of every
issue of the Wright Propeller, one
of the oldest papers in the district,

(ARTICLE NO. 4).
By GERTRUDE HAESSLER.

The technical makeup of the shop
paper is of no small importance,
especially in America, where the
worker gets the best of technique in
the capitalist papers, which try to
appeal particularly to him, and in
the company organs of the employer
and consequently he is inclined to
look with contempt at anything
handed to him which does not look
well.
Types of Papers.
The shop papers in America fall
into the three categories as far as
technical makeup is commemorative
printed paper, the autographed
paper and the mimeographed paper.
From many standpoints it is best
to print the papers. They look more
like the miniature newspaper they
should be. They look neat and offer
the best opportunities for attractive
arrangement of material. The main
drawback, of course, is the expense,
which also is a factor in cutting
down illustrations. If the paper is
successfully sold, and successful ap-
peals are made for contributions
from the workers, then the problem
is solved.
Multigraphing has the same dis
advantages as printing in the mat
ter of expense and even more re-
striction in the use Of illustrations,
and is in no way equal in other re-
spects.
The third method, that of mimeo-
graphing, although mimeographed
paper can never look anything like

clipped. This involved more care
in running the stencils off, but saves
clipping. The final effect is much
better than the clipped paper.
Livening Up By Illustrations.
Too few mimeographed papers
take advantage of the ease with
which illustrations can be inserted
(either by original drawing or trac-
ings from elsewhere) to liven up
the paper. Perhaps the comrades
begrudge the space, for when there
is important material on hand and
a cartoon takes up half a page of
already limited space, one hesitates.
But a cartoon can say as much and
more than a half page article in
many cases. Many papers have also
found attractive effects by putting
in a very small but pointed illus
tration with the titles of articles.
They need not have any particular
political Significance humorous
illustration is sometimes even bet
ter, leaving the political ideas to the
larger cartoons.
We can learn something from the
German Party as far as illustrations
are concerned. The Party there has
gotten up a little booklet contain
ing Sc cartoons of various sizes
which can be used anywhere in the
country. Their simple lines and
heavy print make them easily trans
ferable. Some are political, some
humorous, and others simply illus
trating working class life, Such
Capitalization would stimulate our
work a great deal in this country.

Industrial Work Discussion.
There was extensive discussion on
the two resolutions on industrial
work submitted to the convention
and referred by it to the District
Executive Committee. The result
was much more constructive dis
cussion then could have been pos
sible at the convention owing to the
extremely heated atmosphere which
at times permeated the convention.
The Minority had offered reso-
luton which made not the slightest
mention of any work done or
achievements accomplished by the
Party and which made platform
of every mistake, real or fancied.
This was rejected but some of their
practical proposals were accepted
and the various charges contained
in their resolution were referred to
the industrial fractions involved, for
discussion and report. The Major
ity resolution analyses mistakes as
well as achievements and gives a
sharp line for activity among the

a real newspaper, has many ad-
vantages over the other two. In
the first place it is cheap compared
with printing. In the second place
the opportunities for original illus
trating are unlimited. A third very
important consideration is the fact
that it overcomes a dangerous evil
in shop paper work-that of the dis
trict taking all the burden for the
work of getting out the paper, and
absolving the nucleus from all re-
sponsibility.
The mimeographed paper requires
great deal of technical labor where
no particular skill is demanded =
running off the stencil, assembling
the pages and clipping them to-
gether. All the members of the
nucleus can be made to participate
in this work, and they come to feel
more that the paper is their own
organ, and not simply something
which the district gets out for them.
Experience has shown that where
the unit is drawn into participation
in the technical work of the paper,
their interest in getting material
for the paper, and their sense of
responsibility in connection with
every phase of their shop paper is
always stimulated.
Merits of Various Types.
There seems to be a difference of
opinion on the comparative merits of
the mimeographed and the printed
paper. Some comrades feel that
even where funds make it possible
to get out printed paper, the mime
ographed paper is preferable. They
claim that in any case we can't

ence are easily detected in the make
up of quite a number of papers,
whereas others are so excellently
gotten up that it is hard to choose
between them and the printed pap
ers.
Usual Shortcomings.
The commonest fault is the at
tempt to crowd too much material
on each page, at the expense of the
appearance of the paper. This is
carried to such an extreme in sew
eral cases that the two columns run
together in an indistinquishable
manner, and the margins on the
stencils are so narrow that the paper
won't take the print and the ma
terial is absolutely unreliable. Suf-
ficient care is not taken in running
them off the Monograph, result
ing'in the smearing of pages against
each other. This is sometimes due
to using the wrong quality of paper.
In some cases the paper is too thin
to take both sides, resulting in a
blurred effect, from the print on
each side showing through on the
other.
Some papers don't separate their
articles clearly enough, subheads
being run exactly as titles of fresh
articles. This creates confusion.
Where an article breaks off at the
foot of the column, quite frequently
there is no indication where it is
continued. A really skillful typist
will arrange her material SO that
as few articles as possible need to
run over onto other pages. There
are instances where one article is
continued on three additional pages,

Calcutta Workers for

CALCUTTA, March 4.-Hahatma
Ghandi, long the religious leader of
a greater part of India, was ar
rested today after crowds had tossed
bricks and had burned pyres while
he was espousing the boycott of all
foreign cloth.
The meeting was held in Miraza-
rur Park. Ghandi and other nation
alist leaders were scheduled to have
the important part in the meeting.
Ghandi was the principal speaker.
The stopped religious leader went
to the front of the platform and
started speech in favor of boy
cotting all the imported cloths.
There were boos against the made
ouate plan and demands for rev.
olution.
Shortly afterward someone started
to burn a number of bales of i'm
ported cloth which were in front
Of the platform. Police attempted
to extinguish the flames, but anti
Ghandists started tossing stones
and bricks. Four European police
sergeants and several Indian con-
stables were hurt in the ensuing
fray.
Ghandi and several of his leaders
were arrested, while the crowd was
being attacked by the police. The
ieers of the workers followed him
as he was led to the protection of
the Jail.
Ghandi is a kind of Tolstoyan,
who in the beginning helped to
a movement against Eng
lish imperialism, but at critical
moment betrayed it because left
wing elements were turning it into
a real revolution, not only against
foreign domination, but against the
native contractors, land owners and
The opposition in this meeting
came from disillusioned workers

passed by staff of specialists who
removed an open safety pin from
her lung, scarcely an inch from

The baby swallowed the pin a

anXiously for chance to operate
when the prong would be turned
from vital spot. In desperation
they resorted to a delicate opera

removed the dangerous object.
Physicians said the operation
was one Of the most delicate on

DASH HOPE FOR
ARMS PARLEY
Time Not Yet Ripe, Geneva
Conference Is Told.
BY HENRY WOOD
United Press staff Correspondent


GENEVA, April 15.-HopeS that
the early calling of a general dis
armament conference in 1929 might
be accomplished at the meeting of
the preparatory disarmament COM
mission which began today we're dis
sipated by the opening address of
DR.. j. Loudon, president Of the COM
mission.
The convoking Of the present
session" Dr.. Loudon said, was
done with the full realization that
the moment has not yet come when
we can proceed with the second
reading of our draft disarmament
convention, because, since the last
session, negotiations between gov
ernments have not advanced suffi-
GENTLY to render an agreement pos
sible. A new meeting will be con-
voked as soon as the progress Of ne
gotiations between governments JUS
titles it.
However, I am convinced that the
present session will be useful FOR
the re-eXamination of the various
questions involved in the problem of
disarmament"
The meeting adjourned until to-
morrow, when the agenda Of the
present session will be decided. The
meetings will be devoted largely to
discussion of Soviet Russia's dis
armament proposals and German
Count Won Bernstorf's project for
fuller publicity on existing arma-
mentS.
