The Fiasco OF "Chicago Bill"

filled with thousands upon thousands of Amer
lean flags. "Big Bilp' Thompson had pur-
chased several thousand balloons, red, white
and blue, and these were released on signal
and floated away into the air. Long lines of
high school cadets in the uniforms of the Re-
serve Officers Training Corps, headed by their
school bands, paraded by in close order forma-
ton. Police officers of the mounted division
attempted to put on several riding stunts
which proved fizzles and to which the people
present paid little attention.
At $40 railroad engines cut loose with their
din German and Swedish nationalist singing
clubs tried to make themselves heard with
but little success. All through the program
the spectacle of militarism, fascism and prep
aration for war stood out so clearly that even
the most stupid could observe it.
Thompson and Hearst were the two princi-
pie speakers. Thompson, whose police have
murdered and slugged Chicago's unemployed
time and again since the crisis set in last
fall, blubbered something about the necessity
of men having to work if they wanted to eat.
Not one word that might indicate that the
big buffoon knows what it is all about. Not
one word in favor of unemployment insurance
for the workers and their families. Just a
lot of his usual blah blah and hooey for which
he is nationally known.
Hearst, who once boasted that he could in
stigate war over night through the influ-
ence of his newspapers and who is alleged to
have sent -one of his staff reporters into
q Mexico few years ago with the order, "I'll
furnish the insurrection, all you have to do
is write the news" said absolutely nothing at
all on the question of unemployment when it
came his turn to "speak his little piece" In
stead, Hearst spent full half-hour telling an
Indifferent audience about France having
thrown him out of the country and attempted
to create feeling of hatred against the
workers of France. Hearst openly revealed

Dear Red Sparks:-When we Bolsheviks IN
sist that rich guys never use their brains to
make their dough, the pack of profs, journal
lists, and what you will, insist, on the con-
trary, that it takes brains to get rich. Now,
I swear, by Jorge, that we are right!
Take it from JUL Rosenwald of the 49,"
who procaims in the talkies that:
"People who think it requires genius to be-
come rich are nuts. For men of wealth as a
rule are mediocre lot. Fortunes are acquired
by lucky break, which gives fellow a foot
hold, and no more brains are required to
keep going than it took to make the break"

Delegation)
From the early part of June until the latter
part of July, 1880, the Hamilton Fish anti
working class committee held in various cities
of the United States special police court hear
ings as part of so-called investigation of
Communism in America
At these hearings there appeared among
others the following enemies of the working
class as witnesses" Jesuite witch doctor
named Edmund A. Walsh; two labor mislead-
ers, VIM. Green and Matthew Woll, from the
American Federation of Labor; Mrs. w. S.
Walker, daughter of the American bourgeois
revolution; three New York cops, Whalen, Ly-
ons and Van Walkenburg; Charles H. Wood,
a strikebreaker and agent of Wall Street;
judge, several school teachers, some ward
healers, few ex-czarist white guards and a
couple of lawyers.
Who Was the Biggest Liar?
All of these ant-labor witnesses" showed
plainly vicious attitude toward the working
class and the first workers republic the So
Wet Union None of them mentioned the s,O0O,-
900 jobess and starving workers, but all of
them were interested in saving "our free DEM
ocratic republic" for Wall Street.
1t is hard to say which one of these good"
christian witnesses" lied the most Whether
the police Quilted the Walsh Wood Woll- Green
group we don't know. But we can say they all
lied equally well, and in manner that further
discredits the rich grating class they repre-
sent.
This batch of witnesses" however it ap-
pears was not enough for Mr.. Fish. He hopes
to clinch his so-called case against the working
class and therefore, he is back on the Job list

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 26 (U.S0
Gay Christmas cheer-presentS,
fun and the materials for luscious
Christmas dinners-came into the
lives Of 1,500 little boys and girls
and 500 of their mothers when
they were guests Of the Marion

Hitherto these have been the
sons and daughters of disabled
veterans in the Sawtelle Soldiers
Home, but this year many other
youngsters were included in the
happy event, and so this was the
largest of the bright series Of
Christmases.
AS early as Z a. m, although the
party was not to start until 9,
some of the boys and girls and
their mothers gathered. They
found the mammoth stage turn
e,i into a gorgeous Santa Claus
palace, with natural-looking snow
and ice effects, glistening under a
multitude of lights. And then
there was a giant Christmas tree
radiant with thousands Of colored
incandescents.
At 9, when Santa appeared,
there was a joyous yell from all
1900 youngsters and applause
from their mothers. Santa Claus,
impersonated by Sidney Jarvis.
began distributing Miss Davies
gifts.
Each girl received a big doll,
q pair of roller skates, a play.
ball, sweater and a box of
candy.
Food Given Mothers
Each boy received baseball
and bat, a sweater, roller skates,
q little wheelbarrow and a box
Of candy.
Each mother or other woman
representative of a family-500
in all-was given Christmas
dinner in basket.
A 1O-pound turkey was the cen
terpiece of the basket, and ABOUT
this were ranged vegetables, cof-
fee and tea, cakes and fruits.
And then came the show--an
entertainment designed to delight
the hearts of the youngsters.
The Marion Davies Foundation,
under whose auspices the gay
event was held, treated gratui-
tously last year more than 5000
juvenile patients.
