States rights are most desirable, but
not so interstate rows" in the opinion
Of the New Orleans Times-Picayune,
which recalls that "our Nation has been
remarkably free from internecine scraps
among our Commemorative, even bound
anytime differences having been few,
far between and not very serious. This
is WE'LL" it continues, "'since the only
serious danger facing our great Republic
is such divisions Of opinion as might

Threats. In the above connection it is
probably well that Texas and Wisconsin
are not neighborS," this paper concludes.
Presumably the intervening States
can keep Wisconsin and Texas from
marching at each other, but neverthe-
less things are not as they should be
in a more perfect union" says the Chi
cago Daily Tribune, as 1t suggests:
American internationalists should be
called home. They can find work here
preserving peace between the States and
holding them in the good old brother
hood"
That Wisconsin is not alone in its
land laws is the contention of the South
Bend Tribune, which suggests that "the
Texas legislators evidently let patriot
ism cloud their judgment when they
passed the resolution to boycott Wis
consin products. If they really want to
benefit Texas" the Tribune declares,
they should tighten the land laws"
The Rochester Times Union concludes
as to the original incident: Some Of
Wisconsin's boys became sore at one of
their number who bought a small tract
Of land in another State and went home
and Dragged about 1t. Being in the real
estate business, he might have been a
little enthusiastic over his purchase
Anyway, his brothers bounced him out
Of the job. fearing that perhaps he
might induce others to leave the home

Nice Legal Decisions
Aid Chicago Gangland
From the Chicago Daily News.

From the Chicago Daily News.
In the Criminal Court Of Cook
County last Monday Judge Schwaba
released notorious gangster who had
been arrested by the police on the sus-
picion that he was carrying a concealed
deadly weapon. They found that the
gangster actually was so armed. His
pistol was produced in court. Judge
Schwaba's action in turning him loose
was based on the argument Of the pris-
oner's attorney that the police. acting
without a search warrant, had no right
to arrest and search the ioutraged
In the Criminal Court recently
Judge McGoorty fined and imprisoned
two men who had been arrested with
ont warrants, but who pleaded guilty to
the charge of carrying concealed weap-
ons. Judge McGoorty asserted that,
under the law, he could have made no
other decision. 80
ference of opinion among local judges
as to the meaning OF the law prohibiting
the carrying of concealed weapons and
the purpose of the search warrant sec
ton of the criminal code. The police
claim the right to arrest known GRIM
inals on the suspicion of gun toting.
They apparently are amply justified in
making that claim by the decision of
the Illinois Supreme Court in the cele-
brated case Of the hoodlum, Salts. Gun
toting in Illinois is a misdemeanor in
some cases and in others felony
and in either case proof Of violation
of the law seems to provide ample war
rant for arrest and punishment.
Judge Schwaba, learning too late that
the gun toter he had released was a
member of a notorious gang of terror
lists, said his decision might have been
different had he known all the facts.
He complained that the assistant
States attorney had not presented the
case properly.
Weak -kneed prosecutors and too
trustful judges are contributing less
than nothing to the effort to rid Chi
cago Of Its curse Of armed gangsters.

"H you expectorate on the floor o.
home, expectorate here. We want yot
to feel at home"
Sometimes one will see such a sigr
| in a public building. It belongs to the
| variety of informal signs commonly
supposed to be clever.
But we often have wondered about
this bit Of philosophy.
There are a great many things one
can do at home which woAld not go
in public, but which, 1Atheless, are
all right.
| Delightful, in fact.
In the case of promiScuouS eXpecto-
ration the sign may be said to be just
but behind the plain words hides
second sub-rosa statement-that no one
ought to do anything in public which
he would not do at home.
Now, any one knows that there arr
any number of delightful things one
may do at home which by no means
would he do in hotel lobby, for in
stance.
Take the little habit of strewing the
big Sunday paper all over the living
room floor.
There isn't a man alive who does not
like to do that Cor a woman alive who
likes for 1t to be done.
BY the time he has worked his way
through to the sporting section and the
financial pages a papery snowstorm
seems to have descended upon the
house.
The "funnies" are over in front Of
the fireplace, the picture section by the
door into the living ROOM and the news
in fragments all over the place.
One by one the sheets fall as the
reader gives them the ''once-over."
OF course, a man cannot so read in
q lobby!
Not that the hotel wouldn't stand
for 1t.
1t probably would. The trouble Ia
that an offlcious bellhop would carefully
pick up the separate sections ana sheets
whereas the real pleasure OF the pro-
ceeding lies in the after look at the
happy consequences.
In public place some Tom, Dick
or Harry would pick up the very sec
ton one wanted to read more carefully
and would make of with 1t around a
corner.
We submit to the world the following
self-evident proposition:
That strewing the big Sunday paper
all over the living room is one of the
joys of life-if you happen to have the
temperament 10 enjoy IL.
Not every one has, one may say with
no little pride. Some strait-laced souls
must carefully place each sheet on q
table or try to handle the whole affail
in a piece, the which is impossible.
What is more trying than to read a
paper at home in the same cramped
physical style one must adopt in 6
street car or bus out of public neces-
sity?
The true newspaper reader sings his
paper to the far winds of a room, per-
hitting the other members Of the fam
lily to seize portions as it comes from
his hands.
Thus they get a bit of the thrill OF
q news story coming hot of the type
writer Of the reporter, and are insensi-
bly, immersed in the true spirit Of the
press.

Snowflake and Blossom.
A snowflake beauteously rare
Comes floating from a cloud up there,
A mimic of the poisoning
Which kinder seasons used to bring.
1t hastens proudly in disdain
OF apprehension and Of pain.
Earth's humble blossom tries to grow
AS best it may, despite the snow.
Yet permanency is denied
Unto life Of radiant pride.
The snowflake swiftly fades away.
The blossom smiles through many a day

NEW YORK.-After working for
four days, 200 workers waited in line
Tuesday for their pay and didn't get
it. Pay day was postponed from
Tuesday to Friday.
I was working at the Pelham Park
way Station near the Botanical Gar
dens, on Friday, Saturday, Monday,
and Tuesday. After work on Tuesday
we were standing in line to check
up on our numbers, but some politi-
clans came in automobiles, and told
our foremen that there would be no
pay. Many of us needed the few
dollars for food and rent. The dis
content of the men was great, but
they were all afraid to say anything
for fear that they would be fired.
This week we We're to work 3 DAYS
but we have already been laid off, no
more work, because they have no
more money, at least so they tell us.
On Friday we have to again spend
carfare and go after our pay, and we
don't know whether or not we'll get
it. This is the kind of Jobs Tam

they are helping unemployment.

CALL TROOPS TO
DANVILLE STRIKE
Workers Begin toMass
Picket; Stop Scabs

DANVILLE. Va, Nov. 26.-Troops
have been called out in the Danville
textile mill strike. The reason is the
beginning of mass picketing despite
every effort of the United Textile
Workers to prevent it.
The strike was called weeks ago
against the discharge of all known
union members, coupled with worsen-
ing conditions.
In the very beginning, the National
Textile Workers Union exposed the
failure of the q. T. w. to let the
strikers take control of their strike,
the q. T. w. opposition to effective
picketing, and the U. T. w. attempts
to sell out the union. For doing this,
VIM. Murdoch, secretary of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, was
railroaded to Jail sentence.
Now the strikers have begun mass
picketing. All scabs were kept out of
the mill this morning by strikers who
blocked the street and turned back
street cars. Yesterday there was
picketing around the hotels where
scabs are quartered, and some 500
strikers threw rocks at the places.
Today Governor Pollard ordered
Colonel H. L. Opie of the 116th In
fantry, National Guard of Virginia,
to bring troops to Danbille from
Lynchburg, Roanoke and South

and again the day after that? And
then what? How long can he keep it
up? incidentally, why should he

FAMILY OF FIVE
EVICTED BY BOSS
Charity Agent and Po-
lice Cooperate
lBy a worker CORRESPONDENT

New York.-Worker Bleichstein, a
carpenter by trade, with his wife and
four children were thrown into the
streets last Monday night. A wooden
shack at 275O Holmes st. in Coney
Island was his home for two years.
The case is one of many in this
land of equal opportunity" Out of
work for months, with his wife
and children facing actual hunger,
with no income to meet the land
lords bill which was ten days in ar
rears, he was evicted.
The court, acting through the
sheriff, threw the family into the
street and padlocked the apartment.
A workers family of six were facing
the bitterly cold night in the out
doors.
One thing, however, that the land
lord and his court did not count on.
The Unemployed Council and the
Women's Section rallied the workers
for action. The workers broke open
the padlocked apartment and began
to move the furniture back into the
apartment.
A representative OF the United
Hebrew Charities pretended to be
willing to help, on the condition that
the mother, cold and hungry as she
was, start to look for work. Look
for work at 10 p. m. in the night
one of more than 100000 hunting
non-existent jobs.
Amid the sneers of the workers
present the old fossil crawled away,
and, as one would expect of lackey
OF the bosses, he went and phoned
for the police.
Soon the scene bristled with uni
formed thugs, who with their billies
tried to chase the workers away.
They declared that the bosses law
must be upheld in spite of the suf-
fering of the workers. They again
padlocked the doors.
The family was put up by work.
ers in the neighborhood and the next
morning another meeting was held
in front of the heap of furniture.
The worker speakers exposed the
promises of Mayor Walker of mo
more evictions this winter" and of
immediate relief for the hungry"
The Communist Party and the
Unemployed Council are rallying the
workers in the neighborhood for a
strong organization which will COM
bat such cases in a stronger and
more organized manner.
