Until within the past month there
have been some beautiful examples
Of lWtrous black pottery in the main
court Of the Department Of Commerce
Building. Mrs Harold Ickes, could
doubtless tell one a great deal about
this pottery which Is made largely
by Pueblo Indian woman and her
husband. Mrs Ickes knows all about
Indians and is most appreciative Of
their art.
Marie Martinez. who created or
originated the process for making this
pottery, has lately been awarded the
achievement medal of the Indian
Council Fire, being the first woman
to receive it. A recent article on the
subject by Margaret Root Zahler. says
that her Marie Martinez) discovery,
with her husband Julian. some Is
years ago of new way to decorate
and fire black pottery is now bearing
fruit. 1t has turned her little Pueblo
of San Ildefonso, in the valley Of the
Rio Grande, from an agricultural vii
lage to one in which pottery is nodded
in every home and the monetary in
come Of the 200-odd inhabitants is
far greater than these Indians had
eyer expected.
Even San Ildefonsos sons, who
formerly went to seek their jobs and
fortunes elsewhere, now stay right at
home to swell the output of pottery,
which is fast, becoming world famous.
Since it is not according to the In
dian code of ethics for Indian men
to make pottery, they have consented
to paint the designs. Many a Pueblo,
therefore. has a mother or sister or
daughter molding the gobs of clay
into shapely bowls while husbands
or sons or brothers sketch the SYM
bolic Indian patterns" The process
used in firing the clay and the max
ing Of the dyes is most interesting
The two examples Of the pottery dis
played at the Indian curio stand in
the Department of Commerce, looked
like onyx, with the design in a dead
luster which gave the appearance Of
an intaglio of exquisite cutting. Many
Of the designs are the butterfly, which
is the emblem of everlasting life. 1t
will be recalled that Whistler used
this mark or emblem on many of his
paintings, as well as to mark his
household linens. 1t is shown on sew
eral panels in the peacock room in
the Freer Gallery.

Reports from Portland and Ia

stating that the local membership

to Lewis was never taken up at a

the strikers would override the pro-

Edward F. McGrady, Assistant
Secretary of Labor who is here to
lead the work of strikebreaking, has
issued a long -winded statement
warning the city against the strong
Communist element in the strike.
The strikers are aware, however,
that it is the Communist Party
members and the Western Worker
official organ of the Communist
Party on the West Coast, that have
given the best leadership, guidance
and assistance to the strike.

% Per Cent More Apply
For Chicago Relief

CHICAGO. - Relief in Cook
County was slashed 20 per cent dur
ing April, according to figures just
released by the Illinois Emergency
Relief Commission, Relief expendi-
lures for the month averaged 1851
per family as compared with S323S
for the previous month.
Increased misery due to C.WA.
lay-offs and the deepening crisis
caused a % per cent increase in
the number of families on relief
rolls. The total sum spent for re-
lief rose only 8 per cent in the same
period.
While grocery orders remained
about the same in terms of dollars,
the rising price of food, due to the
combination of imitation and
drought, cut the amount of relief
in terms of actual food. It was the
appropriations for rent, light. gas
and coal that we're slashed, to make
the great economy" recorded for
April. Further proof of this fact
is the great increase in the number
Of evictions in the last month.
The capitalist press here carries
lying stories about the significance
of the Relief Commissions figures.
The Chicago Times carries the
headline Figures on relief show
strides here toward recovery" in an
article today, based on the report.
The basis for these misstate-
ments is the fact that Chicago had
a smaller increase in relief expend-
itures than the other major cities.

Grafton Of Labor, urged them to dis
card the Progressive designation
and adopt "Farmer-Labor," claim
ing that if they did not they were
not appealing to the numerous lib
eral groups in the state.
Against Glass Name
Phil La Toilette was given the last
word on the choice of a name and
clinched the debate by national
istic speech ending with the words,
II am convinced that the great bulk
of our people are not farmers first
or 1aborers first-we must appeal to
them as Americans, and not on the
basis of their occupations. For
whatever my Judgment Is worth,
think it is a fatal error, an ire
trievable blunder to launch this as
a class party" Change the word
Americans" to Germans" and it
sounds like page torn from Hitler's
autobiography.
Socialist Opposition"
Joseph Rebolz, Milwaukee So
cialist, expressed it as follows to the
convention: "As a sincere progressive
am opposed to fourth party
movement. I am for the return of
the 1924 Progressive-Socislist third
party movement. Socialists and
Progressives united in 1924 and
polled approximately five million
votes, but when we separated where
did we get?"
He need not worry, however, since
his party is already busy laying the
basis for cooperation of the two
parties, To quote from the last
paragraph Of long editorial in the
Socialist Milwaukee Leader: IF the
Progressives form new party, this
will tI&ow new element of divi-
sion into the ranks of the advanced
forces unless some sort of an
alliance could be made between the
new party and the Socialist Party.
In any event, after election, the
legislators elected on the new ticket
would work with the Socialists in
the Legislature to certain extent.
In the heat of campaign, if there
would be no working alliance made,
and competing candidates for the
same positions should be nominated
by the two parties, some bitterness
would be unavoidable. yet the So
cialists know that their enemies
are, not the Progressives, but the
capitalist system, the capitalist
class. the capitalist press, and the

Bob LaFollette's speech climayed
