COURT REACTION
IN ILLINOIS CITED
Senator Dill Says Mccormick
Victory Result of Feeling
Against Tribunal.

The first repercussion of the Illinois
primary, in which Mrs. Ruth Hanna
Mccormick defeated Senator Deneen,
was heard In the Senate today when
Senator Dill of Washington, Demo-
crat, took Mrs. McCormick's victory as
a text upon which to base an attack on
American adherence to the World
Court.
The washington Senator declared
that Senator Deneen was sacrificed on
the altar Of those internationalists who
wish this country to enter the World
Court and eventually the League OF Ma
tons.
Court Main Issue.
The World Court Senator Dill said,
was the main issue in the campaign
between Mrs. Mccormick and Senator
Deneen. He said that he hoped the
result of the election would be q warm

President would never send to the Sem

to the World Court with the so-called

Formosa was conquered from China

many were driven into the interior,
and all who remained were submitted
to forced labor and gradually choked

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Prepara-

Such large concerns as the H. G.

Cloth mills in the same city are

The Evening Graphic headline states;
"Jobless here sent to Jail" Not only
are they being sent to jail, but they
are being finger printed, beaten, slug
ged for demanding relief.
No worker should stand for this.
The bosses who since the crisis have
increased their profits knowing that
4O,o0e,00O starving workers and their
families will not stand by, are prepar-
ing the most vicious attack against
the working class ever attempted in
any country. The unemployed lead
ers are Jailed and beaten. Hoover
instructs all the militia and local
police to be ready for a bloody at
tack. The grating politicians who
pay out in New York $l96,00u,000 to
the parasites in interest on bonds,
and no brag about their sl000,000
"relief" program show by deeds what
the workers can expect-jail, black
Jacks and maybe breadlines.
The Communist Party, militantly
leading the fight for real relief, and
against the terrorism on the unem-
ployed, calls on all workers to an
ser this damnable policy by a more
determined fight for the Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill, and against cap
italism. A vote for the Communist
Party is a blow against this terror
system against workers who demand
work or bread.

cided that rather than give the men
a few dollars he would not go
through with the fumigation. AS,
without fumigating the vessel, it
could not go alongside the pier, the
preacher was splitting his own foolish
self because by not going alongside
he lost a lot of money he would
otherwise have taken into his greedy
claws.
Carter Collects Huge Sums.
However, he was to get another OPP
portunity to make haul. While in
Havana, the boat was libelled for
debts incurred by the Black Star
Line in that port. AS the Black Star
Line had been buried by Mr.. Gar
vey and the Black Cross Navigation
Co. organized in its stead for just
such purposes as evading debts, the
libeller burned his finger badly. Rev.
Carter collected big damages for the
libel at so many hundred dollars for
each day the boat was held up. On
the strength of this, the crew tried
to collect a little on their wages but

veyism instead, while both the purser
and the preacher lied that they had
no money, and that we ought to be
ashamed for asking for few dol
lars But we noticed that the poten-
tates aboard and the officers were
spending freely ashore,
Had we been aboard any other
vessel we would have raised hell, but
our sympathy was with the organiza-
ton and the thousands Of people
who had put up their last dollar to
buy the vessel.
Garvey Officer Works With Gloves
On.
The crew not only had to put UP
with the abuse of Carter and other
U. N. I. A. officials, but were even
tually made the goat for everything
that went wrong with the vessel. In
this way the officials, the real Grim
inals, evaded their responsibility to
the thousands of Woodworking toll
ers who had invested their last
penny in the boat. How the chiefs
and chieflets of the UNI.A. wrecked
the vessel and its chances has yet
to be told. Take for example Ford,
the third assistant engineer, who was
caught by the chief engineer feeling
the bearings of the engines with
gloves on his dainty hands, and told
that he was menacing the vessel be-
cause he could tell with gloves on his
hands whether the bearings were
hot. Ford refused to dirty his hands,
and the chief engineer demanded he
leave the engine room as he was a
dangerous person to be down there.
After that, Ford did nothing but
stroll up and down the promenade
deck all dolled up and ogling the
women while he smoked expensive
cigars. Campbell, the refrigerating
engineer, had to take his place. This
man was a good worker from start
to finish, but the Carney officials
gave him the dirty end at the last.
Men Refused Advances on Wages.
Finally we reached Kingston, JAM
aica, B. w. I. Here again we re-
ceived a great welcome. Thousands
upon thousands of colored people
lined the pier to greet U.s. This was
the home port of most of us OF the
crew, and we went to preacher Car
ter to beg a few dollars out Of our
wages so we could go ashore with
money in our pockets. The preacher
greeted us gruffly, and learning our
mission slammed the door in our
face. The men then became unruly
| for we were not accustomed to being
treated like this, no, not even by
white officers on boats of the big
| companies.
How we suffered in Jamaica, how
workers there had to feed us, how
Mr.. Carter abused us as "the scum
of the earth" will be told in my next

A ruling for the Judge helped him
out of this difficult hole.
The demands of the Unemployed
Delegation were put into the record.
Walker tried to shift the whole case
away from the main point of attack,
namely that the unemployed delaga-
tion was beaten up for demanding
unemployment relief and exposing
the grating of the Tammany politi-
clans. "That didn't hurt me SO
much" said Walker. What objec-
ted to was the fact that Nessin said
we railroaded Ferter, Minor and
Amter to jail. ! DIDN'T like that"

the case was adjourned until the

Bosses Sentence 3
