Davis Faces Suspension
The Police Department was
shaken by internal tumult today
and Inspector Davis, head Of the
Crime Prevention Bureau, faces
trial and possible suSpenion.
General Glassford called upon
him in a letter this morning to
explain references in the report
to a police inspector who stated
that difficulty was encountered
by agencies which investigated
the bonus army riots because, he
said, he had been ordered to
keep his detectives from disaf-
fected areas on the morning of
the trouble.
Glassford declared he had for.
hidden plain clothes men to
minSle with veterans at the time
of the evacuation on the ground
that if they were discovered their
presence might excite disorders.
They were told, however, to OBJ
serve the evacuation and report
occurrences that warranted police
action.
Questions Asked Davis
In his letter to Davis, who was
not in the office at the time Of
it's arrival, Glassford demanded
to know.

fereN to in that statement? If
so, to whom did you make that
report?

in the convention going on record
five to one for immediate cash
payments.
The proposed cenSure of the
President on the bonus riot issue
was developing so bitter battle
it can be settled only on the
floor of the convention.
The Presidents defense of the
use of the troops against the job
less, veterans served only to in
furiate the Legionnaires and undo
months of labor that otherwise
might have ended in pigeon-hol-
ing the issue.
Republican leaders of the Le-
gion were making desperate ef-
forts to stave off the cenSure
resolution.
Hurley in Conferences
Led by Secretary of War Pat
rick j. Hurley, who came here
ostensibly as a guest of the
Legion, they held a series of all
night conferences with depart
ment commanders and State
leaders.
On every side they were told
the Presidents statement yeSter-
day had provoked a fight over
the reSolution-a fight which may
end in the American Legion pub
licly condemning his official con-
duct.
There was widespread concern
among legion leaders over the
type of reception Hurley will get
when he appears before the con-
vention. RumorS persisted that
his part in the use of troops
against jobleSS veterans had
aroused so much bitterness that
the legionnaireS would hiss and
boo him.
Seek to Balk Insult
These rumors were so prevalent
that the legion'S executive COM
mittee passed a resolution au-
thorizing National Commander
Henry L. Stevens, jr., to clear all
galleries in the event Hurley is
insulted. The resolution was un-
precedented.
Stevens also appealed to a spe-
cial session to do everything pos
sible to prevent disorders when
Hurley appears. He insisted the
legion should be prepared to
treat all guests with every
courtesy"
Before the State leaders agreed
to stamp out antiHurley demon
stations, Stevens virtually agreed

GEM AGENTS
ROBBED Of
$4,000
Harrington Hotel Quarters
Ransacked As They Dine;
z Suspects TraiIed

Watches and diamonds rings
valued at $751; 800 were stolen
from a room occupied by two
New York statesmen on the
ninth floor of the Harrington
Hotel between 7 and 8 o'clock
last night.
The victims are Milton M. Ep-
stein, who represents the Princess
Ring Company, Inc, of New
York; and his brother, Benja-
min M. Epstein, who represents
the Gothic Watch Company, Inc,
of New York.
Benjamin lost watches and
rings valued at $1,000 while his
brother lost diamond rings valued
at 500, 600.
Seek Two Suspects
Detective Thomas Sweeney
said he suspects two men posing
as brothers who registered on
September 9 as H. and C. Black
man, and gave an address on
Spruce Street, Philadelphia. The
Epstein's registered there last
Tuesday.
The theft was discovered last
night shortly before 9 o'clock
when Nettie Thomas, a maid,
went to clean the room occupied
by the Blackman brothers, To-
Gated two doors from the Epstein
room. The Blackmans had just
checked out of the hotel and it
was noticed that they had re-
fused to permit bellboys to carry
their bags. The maid found
jewelry cases, wrapping papers,
and jewelry boxes streWn all
over the floor of the Blackman
room. She notified the manager,
who in turn summoned Detec-
tive Sweeney and the EpsteinS,
who were dining at a nearby
restaurant.
Find Much Evidence
In searching the Blackman
room the detective found sample
watch cases without the works,
which were valued at $700, and
which had been overlooked or
discarded.
The detective also found a
large quantity of rope and wide
adhesive tape in the Blackman
room, which he believes were to
have been used by the bandits to
bind the Epstein brothers in the
event it was found necessary to
go into their room while they
were there.
Sweeney said the thieves en-
tered the Epstein room by climb
ing over the transom, which had
been opened to permit air to
enter.

ROBINS HUNTED
IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Sept. IL GN.SO.
Fresh indications that Col. Ray
mond Robins may be somewhere
in Chicago or vicinity today in
Spired Government agents and
local police to redouble efforts in
their search for the missing dry
leader.
The possibility that the noted
reformer may have vanished on
a secret mission was again thrust
into the foreground of the search
by the claims Of three persons
that they saw and spoke to a
man strongly resembling the pub
lished photographs and descrip-
tionS of Colonel Robins.
According to the story of these
three-Mrs. Ruth Corey, her
daughter-in-law and her neighbor,
Fred Fouts-the man drove up
in an automobile last Friday and
inquired at the Corey home about
a certain speakeaSy situated just
west of the suburb of Blue Island.
Mrs. Corey related:
"He said he believed the
saloon on the corner was
closed. 1 hold him it was. He
said, We'll, it won't be long
until they'll all be closed Then,
he went back to his autOmO-
bile"
1t was not until after the man
had left that Mrs. Corey, her
daughter-in-law, and her neighbor
realized his resemblance to the
missing Colonel Robins.
A new factor was thrown into
the hunt with the arrival by
airplane of DR.. Daniel A. Polling,
head of the allied dry forces, who
came here last night from Port
land, Ore, to aid in directing
the search.

Letters from Our
Readers
DON'T HIDE THE DAILY

Cnlcago, Ill.
Dear Editor:
With this letter I want to make
this suggestion about the Daily
Worker. We have distributed hun
dreds of thousands of handbills of
various kinds--not word about the
Daily. We have put posters all over
the country of various types, such as
Fosters meeting, Communist Election
posters, etc. Not a word about the
Daily Worker. May 1st demonstra-
ton speakers said nothing about the
Daily Worker. August LIST demon
stration speakers said nothing about
the Daily Worker. A thousand-fold
different things that went on-noth-
ing about the d. w.
The only time workers see the D.
w. is when they see someone selling
the Daily, and they don't know what
kind of paper 1t is and the ones
knowing don't say anything about it
but fold it to such a small way and
stick it in their hp pocket instead of
reading it wide open or carrying it
in such way as to be seen.
I am making this suggestion to you
for this general advertisement of the
Daily Worker in all leaflets and in
all posters in a manner that people
can read the d, w. and its address

QUESTION


A worker has Just written to the
Daily Worker asking why the Daily
Worker doesn't campaign for birth
control as solution to suffering
from unemployment and wars.
ANSWER
To this worker and to other
workers who may have been fooled
by this capitalist analysis" of cri-
ses, an analysis made, by the way,
hundreds of years ago when the
population was much smaller than
it is today, we point out that what
appears like "overpopulation' is.
only the great and increasing army
of unemployed manufactured by
the capitalist production process.
Capitalism needs permanent re-
serve of unemployed workers. by
which it maintains it's ability TO
exploit.
ENOUGH FOR ALL
We have enough productive
power in the United States to feed
every man, woman, and child, and
have plenty left over. But capital
ism is based on and inevitably in
creases unemployment and hunger.
AS unemployment is increased by
capitalist exploitation, the home
market narrows and the need grows
for an expanding foreign market

Questions and Answers

for capitalists, which drives them
into the butchery of war.
The greater profit to be derived
from the exploitation of colonial
masses, as well as the desire of the
imperialist powers to reconquer the
Russian market and especially to
destroy the workers land, the So
Wet Union, and is the chief factor
pushing capitalism to embark on a
new world slaughter.
THE COMMUNIST PARTY STAND
Make the population as small as
you like, capitalism will inevitably
create its. army of unemployed.
capitalism will inevitably spread
the hunger upon which it bases
its exploitation.
Therefore we tell this worker
who looks to birth control to solve
the crisis: The Communist Party
opposes restrictions on birth con-
troll and favors a movement to
abolish all present restrictions on
contracept &c measures. B 1t
the only way out for the workers
is the united struggle Of the work
ers against the bosses hunger and
war program, is the fight for I'M
employment insurance and against
wage cuts, and to fight for the
overthrow of the system under the
leadership OF the Communist Party.
