Is superior to the surface on
state highway No. 81, being
bitulithic asphalt, and costs per
haps IS cents a square yard.
There may be groups of own
ers who would like TO take ad-
vantage Of the present low cost
to improve the streets in front
OF their homes or places Of busi-
ness.
For example; Suppose that
there is q block 300 feet long
and that each owner 9 frontage
is 100 feet, and that it is pro-
posed to lay q hard surface IL
feet wide. Two owners, dwell
ing across the street from each
other, would divide the cost
equally. That is, each would pay
for a strip 100 feet long by 9
feet wide, or 900 square feet, or
100 square yards. At 25 cents
square yard, the cost Of such
strip would be S25. At u
cents a square yard. if a pave.
ment like the one on Hender-
son street were laid, the cost
would be S75.

street improvements must be as

might be that this rule could be

fellows around the drugstores
and the country clubs, and the
brotherhood of smokers has been
supplemented by a multitudin-
Gus sisterhood.
Less and less often do you
hear the suggestion, at public
assemblies, that ban be placed
upon smoking during the pro-
ceedings. When the state reve-
nue. department held its school
there this week | observed that
everybody was free to smoke.
Commissioner Maxwell himself
lit a cigarette now and then, and
Ibis assistant, Mr.. Thompson,
smoked while calling the roll.
The freedom to smoke made the
assembled company happier,
and | feel sure it detracted not
at all from the effectiveness Of
the school.

for around 25 cents a square
yard, cost far lower than pre-
vailed a few years ago. The
town manager tells me he fig
ures that the saving in main
tenance in FIVE years would
about equal the cost of laying a
pavement of this type.
Where q street already has
concrete curbs and cutters, as on
some of the blocks of Rosemary
lane" said Mr.. Caldwell. "the
hard surface would meet the
concrete on each side. Where
there are no concrete curbs and
cutters, there could be bitches
on the side just as there are
along the state highways, and
these would take care Of the
drainage. There would be no
dust, and therefore no need for
sprinkling There would be nc
ruts, and therefore no need for
the application Of gravel. Of
course, traffic would wear the
surface to some extent, just a.
it now wears the state high
ways, but maintenance would
cost very little compared with
what it now costs upon our
streets: and for a long time az
ter the hard surface was put
down there would be required
almost no maintenance"

| have heard Of institutions of
learning, out in the West, where
smoking is not permitted in the
buildings or on the campus. One
such, Of which Addison Hibbard,
Howard Mumford Jones, and
other professors have told me, is
Northwestern University in
Evanston, Illinois. They say
that Just outside Of the main
gate there is always pile Of Gig
arctic stubs which have been
thrown away by students and
visitors before they enter the
sacred precincts. One time at
another university, | forget
which one, member Of the sum
mer school faculty expressed
horror when he came upon Fred

|chief, putting his pipe in the cor
ridor Of classroom building.
The utmost freedom with re-
gard to smoking prevails in our
University here, and | am in
formed the same freedom is in
evidence at other North Caro-
lima institutions. Maybe there
is some connection between this
and the fact that North Carolina
depends so largely for its eco
nomic well-being upon the grow
ling and the manufacture Of to-
baccO. Pious persons in Kansas
| or Nebraska or Colorado can
give full rein to their passion for
regulating their neighbors' hab-
| it's; but thousands Of pious per-
sons in North Carolina have
acres planted in tobacco, and a
smaller but considerable num-
Der have stock certificates Of
Reynolds or Liggett & Myers or
American tucked away in their
safe deposit boxes, and naturally
tthis tends to make them regard
smoking not as a sin but as an
innocent and indeed praise
worthy pastime. Some Of US can
remember the time when cigar
cites were frowned upon by a
large element Of the people of
North Carolina. The pipe and
the cigar were respectable
Ienough, but the cigarette was as
sociated with wayward youth
bent for hell. But that day is
long past. In these days you
never hear Of church societies
passing resolutions against
smoking or undertaking cru
sades for restrictive laws.

Frees Hackman with
Help of LID. Lawyer


NEW YORK CITY.-It is tough to
push a hack these days. 1t is not
enough that as hickman I work
practically for nothing for IA hours
day. But some fat-footed $50 cop
comes along and orders me to move
off the corner.
So I took his orders, moved my car
into the middle of the block The
cop followed and asked me for my
license. When 1 asked him what for,
he says: " You don't want to give
your license o. X" So he walks his
horse Up the corner comes back,
steps up on nay running board and
orders me down to the station house.
He told me he was going to lock
me I'D, so I told him to walk to the
station house. He dragged me of my
seat, swearing at me. I told this
"city's finest to take care, that peo-
pie who know me are watching, and
he left me alone; and we went down
to the station house.

was only trying to earn a decent
living. But soon found he was
even tougher than the cop. I got a
talking to, and then a summons for
hacking off hack stand. Then an
other officer gave me an argument,
and I was taken in the patrol wagon
TO court on a disorderly conduct
charge. He told me it cost the city
plenty of money to give me these
rides. but I said it cost the city much
more to pay big salaries to 10000
guys like him. Then they decided to
try me in another court, after lock-
ing me in a basement.
The next day the secretary of the
Taxi Workers Union gave me card
with the name Of lawyer, who de-
Tended me when the case came up
for trial. The lawyer asked the cop
why did you arrest this man, and on
what grounds did you give him a
summons? The cop told him. but the
Judge said, That's all. Case dis
missed.

their demands, and limiting them
selves exclusively to parliamentary
means of struggle, and also for in
Producing splits into the struggle of
the working class for these demands.
1t is necessary to explain to the
masses insistently and patiently that
it will be impossible to secure the
granting of their demands without
their determined actions.
However, the matter cannot be re-
stricted to this The most concrete
criticism is required of all the pro-
posals for a 30-hour week and social
insurance.
Expose Demagogy
The basic criterion of the 30-hour
week is the question of wages. Not a
single bourgeois party. including
here the A. F. Of L. and the Music
ties, is against the lowering of wages
when the 30-hour week is introduced
in reality. But, naturally, they can
not state openly that they are in ia
yor of a reduction. Therefore. they

culation, to give the impression that
these parties are against wage re-
auctions. Thus the A. F. Of l.. says
that it recommends" no reduction
of wages, while Green, who stated
that if wages we're reduced, the A. r.
of l.. would employ violent methods,
repudiated his threat almost the fol-
lowing day, and explained that the
violent methods he had in view
was economic struggle. All these
crooked tricks must be exposed and
nailed down by our press. We must
constantly remind the workers OF
these exposed tricksters in our papers.
AS for the projects of social in
sllrance, it is necessary to submit
them to the most concrete criticism
in our papers, and in pamphlets.
Wisconsin Bill ReacHonary
The Wisconsin law of social In
surance is a reactionary slave law,
enslaving and depressing the unem-
ployed, if they get relief. The law de-
mands: (O that the unemployed

special to the Daily WORKER


CHICAGO, June IS. - More thar
1900 workers crowded the Chicago
Coliseum and enthusiastically greeted
the second convention of the Inter
national Workers Order, which
opened here Saturday night.
During the afternoon a huge throng
filled the Union Station, carrying rev.
dictionary slogans, and greeting with
songs and cheers the procession OF
hundreds Of delegates who filed
through the gates.
After an impressive auto parade
which lasted until o'clock in the
afternoon, the Chicago workers gath
cred in the Coliseum to hail the con-
vention of the workers fraternal
organization which is spreading its
influence throughout the United
States and Canada.
Tells of Growth
william Weiner, national chairman
OF the I. W. o., struck the keynote
Of the convention when he declared
that cit is the only organization of
It's KIND That is growing, because OF
it's workngclsss program and charac-
ter" The I. W. o., he said, had
advanced from 5000 members three
years ago to over 10000, because Of
it's efficiency as a fraternal organizs-
ton, combined with it's activity in
the revolutionary movement"
This, keynote was later once more
emphasized by a member Of the Cros-
tan Society numbering $1,000, who
told of the support by rank and file
members Of his organization in
united front activities with the I.
w. o., citing the recent May Day
demonstrations throughout the coun-
try as an example.
Browder Gets Ovation
The hugue audience in the Coli
scum rose to its feet, singing the In
ternationale," as it acclaimed Earl
Browder, Secretary of the Comnlu-
mist Party, who dashed away at Pres
ident Roosevelt's forgotten man

over open connections. Long before
leaving New York I called End As
sistantS attention to same but he has
paid no attention to it.
Also the guage cock on the Center
Border is not working freely and
cannot be closed without using ham
mer After being closed it leaks so
badly its almost impossible to renew
glass.
These are everyday occurrences and
we pay little attention to them until
we hear of some Of the ships having
an explosion or fire. There is big
time made over it, and then it is
forgotten and the company has the
insurance money and the slaves are
dead and cannot testify as to what
happened.
All the ABS" (Editor-Able sea-
mem are on day work until after
being in the Baltic and then are put
watch and watch" at night before
sailing, to get the more work out Of

up matches, stow gear away, secure

another day, and they are back at
work with ordinary seamen editor
seamen rating less than ABB stand
ing by at night. Another trick they
use is the sale of liquor. 1t serves
two purposes, the man is stupified
drunk so that he doesn't know how
long he has been working and if he
lays down on the job the next man
will carry on the double load, and it
gets labor at almost its cheapest (the
cheapest is workaways). They sell
this booze for Sl8S which cost them
we'll say at wholesale $38, the sea-
man get sl.3s per day and after pay
ing them for the booze he is still in
debt to them. He works another
day to make it up so they take the
balance out in beer.

receive relief. The workers are thus
tied down to definite State, and in
case of unemployment are con-
demned TO forced labor, receiving re-
lief at the rate of $40 a week for
not more than 10 weeks.
The project of the A. F. OF L. has
large number of all kinds of pro-
visos, which exclude large strata Of
the unemployed from the list Of the
insured, and make it possible to null
lily the proposals contained in it.
The main thing in this project is
that it is a statement against a Fed
eral law and in favor Of separate
law for each State, thus splitting the
united struggle Of the proletariat
for single Federal law up into small
parts, breaking lip the united pro-
letarian front and making 1t possible
to defeat the separate sections of
the unemployed individually.
The draft of Music is, in essence,
this same draft of the A. F. of L.,
with the additional demand for a
Federal subsidy for the states, which
demand is intended to create the i'm
preston that the Musteites are for
a Federal law.
Socialist Forgery
The project Of the socialists, the
most denagogic of them all, consists
in a forgery of the draft of the Com
munist Party. In reality, this draft is
in favor Of insurance by separate
states, financed by the Federal gov
eminent. But the very leader Of the
Socialist Party-Morris Hillquit--ex-
posed the lying nature of this pro-
ject in the press in its central organ,
1.-THE New Leader" on November 26,
by practically joining with the pro-
ject Of the A. F. of L., praising 1t as
being the first decided step in the
direction of socialist philosophy as
being near to the socialist project,
and although not so far-reaching and
generous as the socialist plan, more
practical.
When criticizing the projects, spe-
cial attention must be paid, firstly,
to the fact that when the projects
enumerated speak of insurance
against unemployment, they evidently
have in view, not those unemployed
who are already out of work, but
those who will Jose their jobs after
the law comes into force, and, sec
ondly, that the date when the law
is to operate and relief be paid is
put off for lengthy period in every
project 1.-TWO to five years..
