The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-10-31

The activity in the election campaign on this
issue carried on in this manner will serve as
means of mobilizing hundreds of thousands OF
workers in the United States for the November
7th anniversary meetings-which must this year
attract not only the workers who for years
have been coming to these denonstrations-but
must win new sections of the working class
who will come knowing that capitalism cannot
solve it's crisis and the misery of the working
class Thus laying the basis for winning the
workers for the Defend the Soviet Union slogan
not abstractly but on the specific rotten, intol-
cradle conditions of the American workers and
strengthening organizationally the Party.

''Nice. Pretty CrocOdile!"
By JORGE

81 must repeat what have said frequently
during the recent period, that the Daily
Worker shows continual substantial I'M
provement."
Such is the deserved appreciation which we
get from the D. O. ats Cleveland, and which
moves our compassion for him, despite the fact
that we knew it anyhow and thSt he was not
the first to discover our excellence
Also, there may be the possibility, remote per-
haps but still possibility, that the artful cuss
was trying Establishment when protest failed to
check the Soviet dumping of crocodes on the
American market
At least, with the appearance of the second
article on the ways of D. Os with the Daily
Worker, an apprehensive miSsive from Cleveland
begged us that. if we simply must criticize, to
write it in Imprecorr language ESQ that nobody
would understand and on high level of seri-
BUSINESS in dignifled editorials and so on.
The trouble is that we have done just such
things before, and nobody seemed to notice it.
So kind words butter no parsnips and the digni-
fled editorial passeth over the head on the
wings of distractions We gotta be cold-blooded

What we would like to know, without casting

behaved Daily Worker agents, is the reason why,
since january 4th this year to Oct. /, the Daily
worker account OF Cleveland mas grown from
$18258 to $43785?
Also, and more to the point, what is being
done to pay off this accumulation7 Are the
comrades hopeful of moratorium on internal
debtsP Or that the s437.83 will be funded" over
period of SO years and bonds issued through
the Bank of International Settlements?
Alas, neither of such hopes can be realized.
nor will it help the Daily Worker to get back to
six pages, a desireabiity which-aside from
bigger and better hot dogs for the staff, Is our

Upon hearing that whole trunkful of cred

of somebody in Mexico, the Poor Fish wired,
cabled and sent special delivery letter to

of 9red plots" existed only in the imagination
of the capitalist newspapers. Fish ought to

A Bulwark of Civilization

The evolution OF Tamnany police commits
sioner ought to interest those who get dubbed.
Consider, now, the case of James P. Sinnot,
Fifth Deputy Police Commissioner
The gent was formerly political writer for
certain morning newspaper" the N. Y Times
modestly states in an obscure place on page IS
of its issue Of Oct. 81. But like the busy little
worm, he blossomed forth in 1926 on the police
force and we understand, one of the hot
publicity agents of Glorious Grover Whalen.
Anyhow, he was put on the Tammany pay
roll at $500 year as secretary" in the police
department in 1926 by Mayor Walker. Then he
was made Fifth Deputy in 1923, and though we
are not informed of how much more he gets on
that job, undoubtedly he gets lot more
But the duties" of Fifth Deputy, not being
Overwhelming, allowed him to dip into other
things. Sinnot is also president of the Newark
International League Baseball Club
But part of Sinnots duties is to see that
naughty chorus girls put on fig leaf, or at
least that the show they're playing in gets
properly advertised by arresting the actresses as
Immoral" Sinnot therefore was guarding
what's left of Manhattan morality by raiding
Earl Carroll's leg show last July and frankie
and Johnnie" month ago.
But unfortunately the Fifth Deputy Police
Commissioner of New York City has sup
posedly private life 1t seems that back in his
days as press prostitute, he accumulated
sweetie graduate nurse, and-needing nurse
in those times, promised to take her unto him
and so on, as soon as he would be grating as
much as $4,000 year
That goal, however. was past long ago. He had
evolved into Fifth Deputy and become per-
sonsge. So much of a parsonage that he
despised those base degrees by which he did
ascend and would have naught to do with the
nurse, graduate or no graduate. He told her
last April in fact that he was married to some
body else.
But this wasn't so, reports go, and thus ii
happens that the Fifth Deputy Police Commits
sioner. defender of Manhattan morals and all
that, is being sued for breach of promise for
cool 100000 smackers,
Though it probably has nothing to do with
the stock exchange campaign against bear
raids we notice that there's even an over
production of bears reported from Yellowstone
Park. The management says that the Park
cannot supply natural food for more than $50
grizzly bears and $50 black bears, and that the
bear families, knowing nothing Of birth control,
are increasing at too great rate.

Moral Justification for War"
This is clearly exemplified in a series of edi-
torials, cartoons, articles; in the Philadelphia
Public Ledger" which has for weeks and
r'ennthS carried on vicious campaign against
the Soviet Union. The aim in these editorials
as in others printed in the capitalist news
papers,as to place the blame for the present
economic crisis in the United States on the
Soviet Union, create hostility in the ranks of
the American workers against the Soviet Union;
increase war preparations and to intensity the
war fervor.
The Public Ledger" uses no pacifist phrases.
1t uses no smoke screens or fine words to cover
up the aims of the American capitalist class,

The Red Putilov in Leningrad

To visit the Red Putilov Works is an ex-
perience of lifetime. Here one sees not only
a contrast between the old and new methods of
production, but the amazing rapidity of Socialist
Construction, with the mass enthusiasm and
initiative. of the workers expressed in Socialist
Competition. ss
AS group of English workers visiting the
Soviet Union, including skilled metal workers,
who were given the opportunity of: inspecting
the famous Red Putilov we herewith give our
impressions.
The contrast in productive methods is wildly
seen in two departments, the foundry and the
tractor production and assembly department.
In the old foundry one sees the old craft meth
DDS of production, with the "Sandvats" as
moulders are Familiarity known, hopping about
preparing the moulds, filling the casting boxes
with sand, with backs bent double, putting the
finishing touches to the open mould on the floor
etc. N 4fr
In the new foundry, the most up-to-date ma
chine equipped plant. new high, airy well
lit and ventilated building Here everything is
well and orderly arranged according to the var
ieus processes-human energy and time is re-
duced to the minimum Overhead is the sand
conveyor with mechanically operated chutes
arranged in convenient rotation to the casting
box .conveyor Immediately beneath. Upon re-
leasing the sand-chute, the sand drops in the
required quantity into the casting box where
it is l"ramnied" tight by electrically operated
machine. the top half of the box removed the
pattern inserted and removed, the mould thus
complete passes along the conveyor.
All this in the course of few minutes, the
casting boxes pass along, to be filled with molten
metal from the ladle, held by an overhead crane
which requires to be tilted by the operator. The
conveyor carries the boxes around when cooled
to be further mechanically cleaned of sand sur
plus metal in the sand blasts etc.
similar contrast is more wildly seen between
the old and the new Tractor departments. In
the new building again high, airy well lit and
ventilated the machines are arranged according
to the sequence of operations-the various parts
produced, then pass to the assembly Department
where again the. sequence of operations with
the aid Of the Conveyor, rapidly assemblies the
complete tractor.
In every department the discipline and enthu-
siasm of the workers was amazing. To the
enemies of the Soviet Union, who deny success OF

Heading Off a Special Session
(MinpeapOliS Trihune)

NN1luIltdpOllS IlUuIlC
1t is to be devoutly hoped that success will attend the
next congress by ~expediting legislation at the December
term. The truth of the matter is that there should not
be the slightest need for a special session if congress
will only buckle down to work next month and proceed to
the business at hand in an orderly. dignified and CT
ficient way.
The program facing congress, 1t must be admitted, Is
a fairly heavy one. There are unemployment measures
to be passed, appropriation bills to be approved, and
a great variety of unfinished business left over i-om
the last session to be considered. Nevertheless congress
can make the December term suffice if congress definite
ly determines in advance to do SO. We think the cOun-
try is in no mood to forgive either house its indulgence
IN petty partisan brawls and infantile s%quabbles which
can only result in costly and ineXcuSable delay. II
there was ever need for prompt, intelligent and concert
ed action on the part OF congress. that need is now. The
last special session of congress found that body at its
wind.est and most vinoictive worst. The December term,
it is to be hoped, will see congress at its most diligent
and energetic best.
is supposed to take effect in December is a matter which
leeds some clarifying, but unless it does, the sincerity of
the pledge maker may be seriously questioned. There
is no better time to cooperate. after all, than when every
interest of the country will best be served by coopera-
ton in the fullest degree. Such a time will come next
month, and it will afford to Republicans and Democrats
alike the opportunity to proceed, with a minimum OF
waste motion and dssension, to the business of legis-
lation.
The Selling Of that opportunity would appear to b
congress solemn duty. Certainly the country. as a whole
will not relish the prospect of a special session if 1t car
possibly be avoided. What y it wants, more than anything
else, is a December term running its smooth and ever
course to the goal of wise and ample legislation.

Seeking the Same Goal

Friendship is a strange sort of thing. 1t appears,
sometimes, where you would least expect it, and flour
ishes in spots wnere you would suppose that it could
find nothing whatever to feed on.
So it is with the friendship between Clarence barrow
and Dr.. Clarence True Wilson. 1t was revealed in Hous-
ton recently that these two men, who are in public
bitter foes on almost any question one can call to mind,
are in private extremely warm friends. The wet agnostic
and the dry fundamentals have debated with each other
a great deal and have travelled together a great deal;
and somewhere they have found a common ground,
where mutual admiration and esteem can grow UNI
checked.
DR.. Wilson'S discussion of the growth of this friend
ship is very much worth reading 1t increases, some
how, ones respect for both men. He says:
THE fact is. if anybody can be a Christian without
knowing it, I think it would be Clarence Darrow, for if
you make a list of the Christian qualities which a
Christian ought to have, such as living according to the
Golden Rule, loving everybody, taking up for the ones
who need it most, standing against privilege and in
favor Of the underprivileged, he lives what We teach
as the best standards of lfe."
That, coming from a devout churchman to a man who
mounts lecture platforms to denounce religion, coming
from a militant dry to one of the nations most %Cutspoken
vets, is a remarkable tribute. 1t points to something
that is of considerable Importance; namely, that men
can travel toward the same goal by the most diverse
roads, and that they can make the going smoother for
themselves and others if they are broad enough to real
ize that there are, in the old phrase, many paths to
salvation.
Each of these men has devoted his life to a battle for
the truth as he has seen it. Each one has fought Justify
for the sake of a cause. Each of them has been, and is,
what we call a vsionary-a man who has caught a
glimpse of the fair place that men might make of this
world if they only would, and who cannot rest until
he has given all of his energy and all Of his strength
to the eXpounding of his vision.
On the surface, they have been violently opposed. But
underneath? They are working toward the same end
to make the world a more decent place, to remove a bit
Of its sin and suffering and hopeessness, to enable
people to get more out Of their lives in the shape of hap
piness and the fulfillnent Of high desires.
If the rest of us-folowers Of one or the other of these
two men, or perhaps occupants of the wide middle ground
between them-could only realize as they have realized
that we are, after all, seeking a common goal, even
though we can't agree on the best method of getting
there, wouldn't there be a good deal less bitterness and
misunderstanding in American life today? And wouldn't
that be an excellent thing for all of us?

Today Is the
Anniversary of
S A BIRTH

AoAA
On Nov. 18, 1910, Asa Gray, the
foremost botanist of America during
his period, was born at Paris, N. Y.
After graduating in medicine at
Fairfield College, Gray became cur
ator of the New York Lyceum of
Natural History. This began his ca
reer as a professional botanist. In
1888 he received his first definite po-
sition ss botanist when he was ap-
pointed professor of natural history
at University of Michigan.
Following a leave Of absence, dur
ing which he made an intensive study
of American flora, Gray was appoint
ed natural history professor at Har-
ward, where he afterward made his
great reputation, and helped that in
stitution become the American center
of botanical instruction. In 1848 he
issued his famous Manual.
Said to rank among the leading
botanists not only Of America but OF
the age, Gray was elected to the
American Hall of Fame in 1900. only
IL years after his death.
