FROM A SYMPATHETIC
MINISTER
Russellyille.

Russellville, Ark.
Because the Rev. Williams ex-
posed in the pulpit the exploita-
ton that takes place under capital
ism, he found the doors of the
church that he helped build locked
against him and was presented
with an order to move from the
parish house, although the church
owes him $4,000 back pay. He
refused to leave and on the day
the eviction was to take place, the
miners and other workers of his
congregation decided to hold a
picnic" on his lawn. The result
was that the eviction was post
poned.
Rev. Williams is perhaps the only
minister in Arkansas who realizes
that it is not the penny-ante crap
shooters and the men who striko
for living conditions that are the
sinners. but that the ones to be
condemned end fought are exploit
ers who help to uphold capitalism
The workers of the church give
him their support, but their reli-
g.on and the church is controlled
by a board composed of some Of
the wealthiest people of the town
At the time he was kicked out
of the church he was planning 6
forum in which race and national
issues, Communism, Socialism ano
other topics of interest to work.
ers were to be discussed. In 1885,
he supported the strike of thu
miners in the region and since
then had been in the midst o.
every militant struggle of thu
workers here. He is concerned witt
teaching his congregation not tt
wait for pie in the sky" but tt
fight for better conditions here o,
Garth. He is not opposed to tn
use of violence in the class strug
gle, after seeing and living amonl
the misery and poverty OF Arhan

''If there isn't hell he says
there ought to he-fcr the benefi
of the capitalists" B. r.

stressed. There are enough people
doing and saying funny things to
give the Daily sufficient material.
Such items as the Thanksgiving
tax, the special subway tax, General
johnson railing at the Republicans,
etc. should be given a humorous
twist, and would be immensely sue
cessful.
Humor is important. 1t is in fact
essential. I suggest that the Daily
introduce it to it's readers. 1t would
relieve what would call an over
strain Here again I am speaking
from the point of view of the
workers.
In closing let me repeat that the

to me the most interesting and
readable of papers. Let me also
repeat that it has accomplished
much in a short while. Its sales 90

ANOTHER NEW COUNCIL!

ANOTHER NEW COUNCIL!
We greet and welcome this letter
from Rochester, New York. telling
of the formation Of new Woman'S
Council there.
Dear Comrades:
I'VE are trying to organize the
Women's Council. So far We have
twelve women. They do not work
and their husbands are unemployed.
We would like your advice on how
to organize them and what to dis
cuss. I'm not an organizer, but
would like to know what to talk
about.
posed to talk about the Council for
one hour and for one hour do some
kind Of work, making flowers or en-
broioery. They are all satisfied. but
we don't know what to talk about.
We meet every Wednesday, Please
answer soon.
Yours comradely,
ROSE s."
Congratulations comrades you
have done very well. If the women
are pleased with the arrangement
Of an hour for discussion and an
hour for work, continue it. You
should elect an executive commit
tee Of three or four members, one
Of them being the chairman. (You
could elect an organizer" if you
wish, or the chairman of the Ex-
ecutive Committee could act in this
capacity At meetings elect a diff
ferent chairman to preside over the
meeting.
The committee is to carry out de-
cisionS and plan discussions. They
could meet just before the member
ship meetings and draw up an
"agenda," a list Of subjects for dis
cussion, or business to be taken care
Of. Place the most important sub
ject first. of course.
For discussion and activity We
suggest: The unemployment situa-
ton in general. and what is being
done in Rochester. If possible, take
UP the cases CT the unemployed
members of your own Council who
need relief. and try to do something
about it, by going in body with
these members to the local relief
beard and demanding work or re-
lief.
Discuss the possibility of working
With the Rochester Unemployment
Council on this, if there is one, or
Of building one if there is none. In
connection with unemployed work,
the Hunger Fighter" paper of the
Unemployment Councils, can be
used. Try to enlist support for the
passage of the Workers Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill. H. r. 1898.
School and educational problems
can also be discussed, hot lunches
for kids. etc.
Then, the rising cost Of living
can be discussed and an effort made
to force down grocery costs by draw
ing up protests and sending or pre-
senting them, whenever an item of
food goes UP, to dealers; Or by
holding an open-air meeting to get
the workers of the neighborhood to
support you in sending delegation
to the dealers or to the Mayor or
Beard of Aldermen, to demand
lower prices; or by picketing the
groce. les. bakeries. or butcher shops.
II you need more detectives in
this kind OF work, keep in touch
with the eadduarters of the United
Councils Of Working Glass Women.

has been placed in the refrigerator
for an indefinite period.
Henderson, chairman Of the Dis
armament Convention, told League Of
Nations delegates before his departure
that he hoped to convoke q meeting
of the Disarmament Steering Com
mittee next November.
But among statesmen, the opinion
was growing that the fate of disarma-
ment depends greatly on political de-
velopments in Europe within the next
few months. There was a general
impression that the whole disarma-
ment question may be kept on ice
until leaders of several nations get a
line on the prospects Of the 1895
Naval Conference.
The old time bureaucratic states
men were shivering today, but the
younger fellows were applauding the

de Valera that the League OF Nations
forget its "hotel room" chickering's and
admit Russia to membership.

phrased address yesterday, urged the
question of Admitting Russia, which
has caused q furry behind the scenes,

oppose Russia have q perfect right
to air their objections in the open

KANSAS CITY, May 19.-Dr.
Sheldon Glueck, Harvard professor,
says the United States does not at
tack its juvenile delinquency problems
soon enough.
Addressing delegates to the Ma
tional Probation Association confer
ence today, the professor of GRIM
1nology in the Harvard Law School,
asserted research has yielded certain
clues which must be followed If we
are to catch delinquency young" and
said that these clues call for a more
effective control of marriage and for
eugenical measures in the way of
sound and safe sterilization of ex-
tremely unfit parents and the giving
OF professional ADVICE regarding con-
traception."
Judge Harry L. Eastman Of the
Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court,
Cleveland, told the delegates that
prevention Of delinquency is not a
junction Of the juvenile courts, but
OF the State and community.
Those failures which are usually
laid to the court, are In most in
stances. the fault of the community.
which fails to furnish the court with
necessary treatment facilities" Judge
Eastman said.
Among those facilities he named
clinics for treatment of physical and
mental diseases, better school Cooper
