A Letter From Chicago
BY BURCK

Dear Comrades:
I am unemployed worker who has attended
several demonstrations of the Communist Party
in Chicago I would like, if may, give you
my opinion of them.
Though the last two demonstrations were
especially good in many ways (the one on Feb
10th having large number of Negro workers.
yet there were some severe shortcomings They
only had five to twelve thousand participating
III these demonstrations which for city the
size of Chicago and which has about 100000 out
of work, is very small demonstration. Ac-
cording to the reports in. the Daily Worker,
many cities in the United States had much
larger or at least equally as large demonstra-
tons, and in some of them the terror of the
police, etc. was much greater than here in Chi
cago. Secondly, all the demonstrations I par
ticlpated in were repetitons of one another
Workers called together, marched to certain
point and then addressed by speakers for an
hour or more. After this, the demonstration
broke up. All the demonstrations were around
the general unemployment demands.
May suggest the following as types Of DEM
onstrations that should be organized
1. Demonstration outside the Commonwealth
Edison Co. or Peoples Gas Co. with appropriate
demands against shutting off of electricity and
gas from unemployed workers homes Ever
growing masses of unemployed have been shut
off from gas and electricity by these two insult
firms
2. Demonstration outside of several of the
large downtown restaurants such as Thompsons,
etc., demanding free food for the unemployed
8. Demonstration outside of the office of Gov
ernor En1merson's Unemployment Commission
(they have large headquarters downtown), or
outside of the Illinois Free Employment Bureau
with appropriate slogans and speeches.
4. Demonstration outside of some large apart
, rnent building belonging to some wealthy cor
poration, in which many rooms are vacant de-
manding free housing of the unemployed. Many
of the multi mlonaires of this city are at pres
ent in Palm Beach, Fla, or in Europe, and a
good demonstration can be held outside of their
large many -roomed homes on the Gold Coast
demanding the use of some free for the unenl-
ployed
S. Demonstration outside charity organiza-
ton.
Not a single demonstration has been held here
for some time outside the city hall. Why Chi
cage should not hold one outside the city hall
while other cities do is mystery. have lis
tened to speeches of Thompson. Lyle Cer1nak,
Albert and other capitalist candidates for cleo
ton as mayor, and hardly a single one mem
tons anything about the unemployment situa-
ton OF the CITY, All they discuss is crime taxes
etc. A real large demonstration marching to the
city hall and exposing all capitalist candidates
as doing nothing for the unemployed would
raise the unemployment issue squarely to the
forefront Of this political campaign. But in
stead the demonstrations held so far have been
elsewhere and none at the city hall

NEW GARDEN.

"Dixiana." the musical romantic drama at the New Garden theater, starring Bebe Daniels, Radio Pic- tures' star, and Everett Marshall, Metropolitan Opera baritone, has been done largely in technicolor to attain the brilliance of color in the gorgeous Mardi Gras sequences of its period.
 Set in New Orleans in 1S40. and filled with the turbulent passionate life of the gay southern city, Dixie ana" makes full use in costumes and settings of the brilliance of that era. The atmosphere of the times has been captured by the use of technicolor, insuring faithful re- production of such celebrated New Orleans establishments as Cayetano's Circus theater, rendezvous of tke social elect; the fashionable gamb- ling houses, the gay streets and houses and boulevards in Mardt Gras season, as well as other South- ern beauty spots.
 Bebe Daniels and Everett Mar. shall are starred with Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, mad wags of Rio Rita" and 'The Cuckoos," in comedy roles.
 A fast-moving, laugh-crammed farce-comedy that piles one surprise on top of another in a refreshingly different talking picture. "One Em- barrassing Night" is the co-feature.

know that we cannot win with what we have. The statistics last season are plain enough. The team lacked the punch. Of the regulars still retained on the Red roster only four hit above 300 during the sea- son of 1880. These men are Lucas, Heilmann, Cuccinello and Stripp. Of these Heilmann led in the number of hits, with 153.
 In the building of a new team, we have many deals pending. Be- fore the season begins, provided these deals are successful, Cincinnati will have bolstered up its batting strength considerably.
 Last year we won more games from the Phillies than they won from us. Cincinnati won 12: Phila- delphia 10. The only other team in the league we were able to get a 5O- 50 break with was the Chicago Cubs. We each won II. It was against the Cardinals that we showed our greatest weakness: it seemed we couldn't have beaten them with Grove and Earnshaw. St Louis won 19 games from the Reds, while we took only three. This year, how ever, the story may be different.
 Nice For Frank.
 We have some likely looking young fellows to take south this year. They come well recommended by the Cincinnati scouts and by base ball men who have watched them for several years We are giving another trial to Frank Sigafoos, an infielder from Los Angeles who formerly was up with the Athletics and Tigers. Sigafoos came to Cincinnati in the draft, after batting 1908 in the Pacific Coast league last season.
 Another man picked up in the we got from Nashville. This young man has the habit of spelling peo- ple's fences with line drives. He hit 1881 for Nashville, and that is a lot of hitting in anw mans league. The Southern association has some pretty good pitchers. too.
 Expectations.
 Only two men were claimed in the draft, but am looking for some great things from a young man we bought from Hollywood. Mickey Heath. When I was man. aging the Toronto team in the In- ternational league Heath played first for me on the pennant- winning Leafs of 19.62 I have followed his progress since then, and Bobby Wal lace. who secuted him for several weeks last year, tells me he Is ready to step into fast company. Heath Is a left-handed first sacker and. unlike a lot of left-handers, a pretty smart ball player. In 1929 he batted 1859 for Hollywood and hit 3S home runs. Last year he batted 1922 and hit 36 homers. his average going down when night baseball was adopted.
 If Heath fills the bill at first base. Joe Stripp may So to third. with Durocher at short and Cuccinello at second, but of course this is only ten- tative. and several trades we have in mind may alter the lineup con- siderably. Ford, Sigafoos or Dres- sen may come through at one of these posts. But building 6 pennant winning ball team sometimes isn't n matter that is decided in a season or two. I think Coonie Mack will agree with me on that.
