J0BLESS TO FIGHT
FOR WORKER BILL!
Worcester Jobless Are
Becoming Active

Chester, Pa.
Editor, Daily Worker: =,
l am one of the 10000 jobless
that are pressing the bricks il
Chester, Marcus Hook, Eddystone
and the other towns hereabouts
Once in a while we hop over to
Philadelphia, Camden and other
places to look for job, but always
the answer is the same: Sorry,
but there isn't thing in sight"
Today was down in Claymont,
looking around to see what's doing.
Both the Worth Steel and General
Electric turned me away.
AS l was leaving the General
Chemical Co. l took a look at the
announcements, etc., appearing on
the bulletin board.

gives the name of a worker who
got a reward of $50 for the design
of a device which delivers bags of
sodium from the sewing machine in
an upright position. This elimin-
ates one man from the packaging
operation in the statement appear
ing under this suggestions"
Then there appeared another
workers name, who got a reward
of $40 for suggestion No. 2, that
eliminates one man from the I'M
loading operation.
Meanwhile the bosses ask for
more suggestions. It's a bargain to
save the wages of two workers, all
for the small sum of $50. Yep,
brains have got to be rewarded.
We have a suggestion to make
gratis. How about eliminating the
bosses, as the workers did in Rus
STA, and then maybe when a worker
! figures out an improvement he and
his fellow-workers will get the
benefit.
Also, since we are living under
capitalism, why not demonstrate on
September LIST at Third and High
land SITS. and Third and Parker Sts.,
Chester, Pa, and demand social in
surance for the jobless.
UNEMPLOYED.
Worcester, Mass.
The Daily WORKER
Space in your paper would please
readers of Worcester, Mass. The
workers are steadily organizing
with recruits that come daily from
the ranks of the unemployed.
Nightly meetings aye held at the
Communist headquarters and pro-
gram of activities is being arranged.
Unemployment has reached an
alarming large number of people
and there is much suffering and
hunger, and the city of Worcester
does not give said to the increasing
number of workers out of work.
The streets and common are
crowded with men and women out
of work. Police are kept busy ar
resting men and women Migrants"
The local newspapers do a neat job
of covering so-called "burglaries,"
"hold-ups" by the hungry.
The local newspapers brag in big
headlines editorially, eyes, we have
no crime wave" All nice bunk for
the ignorant and the bosses to read.
But watch the workers grow in
Worcester, Mass, with activities.

Defiance of Constitution

Professor Tompkins said the COM
mittee's vote was TO 1, the ma
jority holding that the eighteenth
amendment was adopted and rati-
fed in defiance Of the tenth amend
ment of the Constitution, which
provides that "the powers not dele
gated to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to
the states. are reserved to the states
respectively or to the people"
This theory, Tompkins said, was
advanced and developed by Selden
Bacon, also a member of the COM
mittee, who has incorporated that
body's findings in a pamphlet which
will be sent out to all members OF
the New York County Lawyers AS
ISOLATION.
Up to Supreme Court
"The special committee" Professor
Tomphns said, voted in favor of
the proposition that such a matter
ought to be taken up with the SUI
preme court Of the United States at
the earliest possible moment on the
entirely new ground which is set
forth in the report by Bacon, name
ly, that the tenth amendment to the
Constitution modified the fifth ar
ticle of the original Constitution
THAT is, that neither the con-
greSs nor the states have the right
to adopt an amendment in the
manner and form they did, and that
it ought to be submitted to the
people in convention"

MAYOR PLEADS
FOR MERGING
OF BLUFF ROAD
Closing Street at Belt Rail-
way Crossing to Save
100000, He Says.

Acceptance of the present plan for
closing Bluff road at the Belt rail-
road and for merging the Bluff road
with Meridian street a short dis
lance south of the railroad, was
urged by Mayor Reginald H. Sulll-
van before South Side Civic Club
leaders Wednesday night.
Sullivan pointed out that any at
tempt to provide an elevation at
Bluff road, only 200 feet west of
Meridian, would cost an additional
100000 and delay the project an
other year.
Sullivan said the city plans to
join Bluff road with Meridian at
point south to provide adequate
means of handling the south side
traffic.
People Must Pay Bills
eff the people want wider streets
and public improvements they'll
have to pay for them" Sullivan de-
clared in an attack on the assess
ment dodger."
Sullivan cited Capitol avenue,
which was widened after the city
advised the entire cost would be
assessed against property owners.
Scores Of property owners filed suits
to obtain reductions in assessments.
1.-THE assessment dodgers are
bankrupting the CITY," he asserted.
1--WE are not in a position compar-
able with Chicago, of course, but
the city is depicting its bonding
margin to pay reductions in as
sessnents, because there is no pro-
vision in the budget.
Sullivan COmpIimented
wen never ge+ the tracks ele-
waited on a 2-cent levy" Sullivan
declared, declaring he had discussed
the ACCESSIBILITY of an increased levy
for 1881.
John F. White, former council
man, complimented the mayor on
his stand, declaring she has not
made us a lot of extravaganza prom
iSes which he couldn't keep and
our confidence in him is increased
because of that"

president; Louis G. Brandt, south

Although these flies have been a

THE THREATENED DEBATES

't Dean Cross having challenged MT, Rogers to public debates it is 10 be t hoped that the latter will find nothing to intervene.
 The one-sided, ex-parte statements : which politicians are wont to give the public during an election cam paign are scarcely worth the paper . and ink which newspapers devote 10 them.
 M These statements, often in the form of speeches" at political gathering. are composed of dodges. . straddles, half-truths and exagger- ated claims.
 Every campaign sees the public's intelligence assaulted in this man. ner.
 The only excuse for them seems to be that the party moguls believe the public lacks intelligence.
 Public debates between the two tops of the two tickets, however, : would be something entirely differ ent. There would be no possibility of one or the other getting through :, with the usual political hooey.

SHORTSIGHTEDNESS

An example of municipal short sightedness is the toy bridge span ming the New Haven railroad tracks at Corbin avenue.
 Approximately IA years ago, when the bridge was built, the city allow ed the railroad to plead such dire poverty that it consented to the con- struction of bridge half the width of the street. Incidentally the bridge was not so strongly built as should have been the case.
 The city was an easy mark at the time; and now look at the structure.
 A personal inspection showed that from the corner of West Main street the bridge juts half way across the width of Corbin avenue. Recently the authorities became alarmed at the possibility of autoists accidental lv driving onto the railroad tracks at night and warning lights were in stalled at the structure. For the present, it seems, that is all that is going to be done about it,
 The railroad now is in good financial condition. Its stock is com
 
 manding'a higher price than some Of the best railroads in the country. II. income is good. The Quigley admin istration has already spoken with railroad men about the sad condition of the Corbin avenue bridge and honeyed words 1t is said, were pass ed
 The matter should be kept in mind and not allowed 10 rest until d new structure. strong enough for modern traffic and wide enough to take in the entire width of the street is constructed,

 =. This bandit, 32 years of age, has -had his most thrilling experiences during the last ten years, or since ~prohibition arrived The noble ex- pertinent gave him his chance to wax rich quickly, as it has done the ~"other gangsters who have taken the ~s. places of brewers and distllers.
 The beer and whisky moguls Set tile their differences with guns They b cannot appeal to the courts. That is the one and only explanation for what continually happens.
 The day before Diamond recently sailed for Germany, one Genero Rafione was slain; a day or two later Harry Western disappeared and his bloodstained car was found in the possession of Diamonds henchmen. After the Hotsy Totsy club murders Diamond disappeared. returning after his companion in the indictments, Charles Entratta, had been acquitted, and his own indict- ment dismissed. No conviction was possible because the main witnessea had been taken for rides. The widow of one of the slain gangsters, who talked too much. also was to.nd dead.
 This makes up the career of gang sters such as Diamond. The de- tectives are confronted by bag Of theories and no clues. Gangsters do their "work" quickly and speed away in automobiles. The police know no more than the public and all con-

THE POSTAL SUB. STATION

When the addition to the post of fee is constructed there will be no more need for the present parcel post sub- station on Court street. The intention is to house all local post office activities in the coming enlarg- ed structure.
 The sub-station has functioned perfectly since its use a half dozen years ago. Postmaster Erwin Is authority for the statement that the dispatch of parcel post mail from the local station vies with anything in the country, and he has a speed challenge hung up that anybody on the vast circuit can shoot at.
 The local industries provide tre- mendous amount of parcel post mail. Seventy-five per cent of the volume of mail going from the local post office, the postmaster reports, is Of this variety. Most of it originates in the industries. They will be gratlfled that, so far as local handling of this mail is concerned, it is placed on the rails with dispatch.
 When the present main post office on West Main street was built there was no provision made for parcel post at all. Indeed, there was no parcel post law although such a de- parture had been discussed for years.
 Chief opposition to the inaugura- ton of a parcel post law came from local merchants the country over, who calculated it would be tanta- mount to giving an advantage to the mail order houses. But these already had been getting along fairly well without the aid of the parcel post system. and when the law ultimately was passed during the Taft adminis- tration no particular difference was manifest. There isn't today, except to the express company or com- panies; and even these seem to be getting along quite satisfactorily.
 The Government has been renting the Court street quarters. Much criticism has been leveled at the federal post office department for renting so many quarters throughout the country instead of constructing it's own buildings or additions By paying rent on these buildings the government indirectly pays taxes winch is something the Government is not supposed to do. Of course, the taxes are paid through the rentals paid. the landlords being taxed for the properties.
 The local postal improvement IS 10 be only one in a widespread building program by the Government, so far this year 66 contracts having been awarded for public buildings, at a cost of s43,OO0,O00, while in the re- maining three months of the year 1t is planned to let 49 additional con- tracts at a cost of s3O,0oO, ,OO0. Land for these buildings will cost $73 ,ooo,- GOO.
 Federal public building contracts are being let at the rate of two and a half days. New Britain p-obaply will not have long to wait before final action is seen on the local inn provement.

POLITICAL OUTLOOK
NOT so GOOD

It is said that only once in the last 50 years have the midterm Congress sional elections failed either to reduce or to wipe out the majority of the party in control of the House of Representatives. The exception was in 1918, when there was an abnormal political situation due to the World partisan appeal for the election of Democratic candidates.
 The half century record, Of course, includes the majority of midtcrm elections which were held during
