of them were listening to services
in room close by. The strains OF
an organ could be heard, the siren
whining of a Salvation Army lass
Then the booming of the Salvation
captain calling upon the workers to
seal their fate with thanks to god
and accept their sewers with pray
ers for salvation.
The captain is short bleary-
faced holier-than-thou preacher of
the gospel. He keeps himself be-
hind closed doors in well-furnished
and warm office. There are too
many "lost souls" and "roughnecks"
out in the hall for him. He gets
suspicious when the reporter tells
him that he is reporter from the
Daily Worker. He sticks his head
out from the halfopened door, I'M
certain whether to bang the door in
the face of the questioner, or tell
him to mind his own business.
The reporter wants to know about
the "neediest cases" and the Christ
mas baskets. The captain doesn't
know-only the general offices can
give out such information. He's sly.
this captain, and terminates the in
terview.
The reporter has learnt, however,
that in this Memorial Hotel 610
workers are put up every night; that
when the weather turns very cold
many more are turned away; that
before a worker gets lodgings here
he must go thru a regular barrage
of questions.
Which means that every day in
this place 610 unemployed workers
are given charity and bound closer
to the will of the bosses; which
means that every day Clio workers
are being bribed to register at the
scabbing agencies; which means
that $40 workers every day are
poisoned with anti-labor propagan-
da, are chained to the wheels of the
capitalist organization.
This is what New Years and
Christmas charity means to one sec
ton of the proletariat. Organiza-
ton and fight are the weapons to
be used against these gloved- hands
of Wall Street.

WORKERS OF
RUMANIA FORM
AMNESTY GROUP
Demand the Release of
Workers, Peasants

BUDAPEST, (By MaiD.-A COM
mittee for a general amnesty has
been formed in Rumania with Costa
Foru at its heads. The committee
has issued the following appeal:
"To Public Opinion in Rumania:
For years Rumania has groaned
under a regime of oppression, sup
preston of all public freedom and
the fragrant violation of the most
elementary civil rights.
The arbitrary will of the rulers
has replaced the law. A furious
campaign of persecution has been
carried on against all persons who
have dared to protest against this
state of affairs and who have de-
Tended their civil rights. The re-
suit has been illegal arrests, tor
lures, maltreatment and even MUIR
der. Political trials before court
martials have served as a weapon
in the hands of the government to
dispose of its opponents.
In this situation the working
class, the intellectuals, and the
peasants must demand a full and
unconditional amnesty for all the
imprisoned victims of the court mar
tials. Tho the new government has
promised an amnesty more than
once, it is the duty of public opinion
to demand this amnesty now with
all energy"

Sinclair Uses Fun bl e
Of Government Again

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 (UP).-
Harry Sinclair objected today to a
proposal of government counsel
that the Supreme Court consider
the entire senate contempt case
against him, instead of only five
questions of law certified by the
District of Columbia Court of APP
peals.
George Hoover, counsel for Sim
clair, told the court that he was
anxious to bring the appeal to ar
gument on the five questions next
Monday as scheduled. Consideration
of the entire case would require a
postponement of the argument.
Government fumbling suspiciously
cases again gives the accused a
prevalent all through the oil graft
technical advantage.

plane mother ship, besides other ma
val fixtures, developed the argument
that U. S. prestige in making and
enforcing treaties (including debt
contracts, presumably depended on
her naval strength.
Hale had previously consented to
the Hoover plan of allowing vote
on the treaty before further argu-
ment on cruisers.
A group desiring to make the Kel-
logg treaties more openly militaristic
and more obviously and favorable to
American Imperialism, introduced
resolutions to amend. They will be
opposed by the straight administra-
ton policy senators, who feel that
such amendments are superfluous,
as everything they try to accomplish
is taken care of already in the
treaties.
Chief among the amendments was
one by Senator John G. Blaine, La
Toilette republican of Wisconsin,
who introduced a resolution propos-
ing to eliminate the unofficial
reservation of colony protection,
which Great Britain set forth in a
note to the United States before the
treaty was signed.
U. S. Claims Latin America.
The Blaine resolution proposed to
state for the senate an opinion that
the British note was not an official
reservation.
1t was tabled alongside the Moses
Reed resolution proposing to "pro-
tect traditional American foreign
policies" (the imperialist Monroe
Doctrine) from any interpretations
of the treaty. Blaine made a short
statement in which he CHARGED that
Britain's effort to state a policy Of
national defense toward her colonies
was nothing more than an effort to
restate article ten Of the League of
Nations covenant.
While these affairs held the at
tention of the senate the House was
going its serene way. After Happy
New Year greetings were exchanged
all around, members took up some
minor rules before proceeding with
the war department appropriation
bill.

TENANTS CARRY
HOUSEHOLD BITS
OUT WITH Them
Fire Causes Removal
of 2 Sick Children

Hundreds of workers and their
families were forced to flee their
crowded apartments early last
nigh; when fire, starting in an I'M
occupied five-story tenement at 321
w. 10th St. was whipped by the
wind into a blaze that destroyed the
two upper floors of the building
and threatened the tenants in the
adjoining tenements.
| Clouds of smoke, coming from
the burning building, caused ten
sants all down the block to flee in
confusion from their homes. Many
of them, poverty stricken and
afraid to leave any of their meagre
possessions to possible destruction,
carried furniture out into the
streets with them when they fled.
The street was blocked with fire
apparatus, which had been brought
to the scene by three successive
alarms, and by health department
ambulance summoned from the
Willard Parker Hospital to remove
two children suffering from scarlet
fever. The street was hemmed in
and closed from traffic for several
hours.
The blaze was discovered shortly
after 6 o'clock in the evening by a
tenant in the building next door,
who saw smoke escaping through
windows and partitions in the
doors. Immediately he turned in
the first alarm from Ninth Ave.
and 10th ST., bringing firemen i'm
der Deputy Chief O'Hanlon. Later
he sent in two more alarms when
he saw that the adjoining build
ings were in danger of destruction.

ten days or more. The ship will be
