News. a worker guardsman paper
published in Chicago.
Among the glaring facts this
paper contains are the following:
l. Thirty men Of the both In
fantry were poisoned by rotten beef
sandwiches fed them while they
we're going to Camp Grant. In adj
dition. many other worker-soldiers
were sick. but were forced to con-
tinUe drilling with no aid except
typical army pills.
2. In spite OF government prom
Uses of food for the guardsmen. they
are forced to buy many necessities.
They get no milk at mess and must
pay to 10 cents a pint, leaving a
fat profit for the grating officers.
The National Guard canteen
charges almost double the prices
that are the rule at a nearby C.C.C-
canteen. and guardsmen are forced
to buy in the National Guard shop.
In some companies. men are forced
to pay 20 cents for a chicken din
ner on Sunday.
3. One man has been killed and
more injured in truck accidents at
the camp
4. An artilleryman Of the 122nd

from doctors to go off the active
list. One serious case of blood

CHICAGO, Aug. II. = Condemn
ing the use of terror against work
ers' organizations in Chicago and
throughout the country, more than
200 South Side Negro and white
workers at meeting here Tuesday
call for mass protests against police
provocation and attacks on the
workers.
Resolutions to Governor Horner,
Mayor Kelly, and States Attorney
Courtney demanding that these Of
ficials stop raids on workers meet
ings were adopted. The arrest of
two organizers Of the Packing House
Workers Industrial Union during
the strike of livestock handlers at
the stockyards was pointed out par
ticularly as a violation of workers
rights.
Frank Gallagher, one of the or
ganizers Jailed, spoke at the meet
ing and declared arrests would not
stop the progress of the industrial
union in the stock yards. He pre-
dicted the settlement agreed to by
A. F. of L. officials in the strike
would not last and another strike
was bound to come against the A. F.
of L. misleadership.
The throng enthusiastically greet
ed Mary Powers, a Negro worker
Of Alabama. who was forced to flee
from the state under threats of
arrest and lynching because she
organized workers in the state She
said the terror in the North was
heaven" compared to what work
ers in the South face.
Other speakers included Andy
Neuhoff Of the International Labor
Defense and Joe Weber of the Trade
Union Unity League.

Republic Co.
Pushes Fight
Against Union

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Aug. II.
The Republic Steel Co. has not
and will not recognize the Anal
gamated Association of Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers, it has been an
nounced by T. M. Girdler, chairman
of the company's board. The A. A.
leaders nationally and locally have
deliberately misrepresented the
agreement" negotiated by the Ma
tional Steel Labor Relations Board,
in which the company agreed 20
pay the prevailing A. A. scale and
meet A. A. working conditions
through a letter to the A. A. local
unions.
The A. A. leaders persuaded the
men to accept this by telling them
the union was recognized. 1t was
for exposing this phony agree
ment and telling the Warren
workers that the union was not
recognized that ballet was arrested
on August 1, and held in Jail two
days. Now the cat is out of the
bag and the workers realize they
have been tricked.
There is great discomfort in
other departments of the Republic
mills of Warren and Niles, which
are not covered by the agree
ment." Two delegations of the
open hearth lodge of the A. A.
of Warren have gone to Washing
ton and been sent home without
any satisfaction. The Niles lodge
in Niles, consisting of workers in
all departments outside the hot
mill has likewise received no
satisfaction on their demands
Strike sentiment has been rising
in both lodges. The hot mill lodges
in Warren and Niles had voted to
strike if the demands of other
lodges were not met. This open
statement by the Republic Co. that
even the hot mill departments
have not been recognized, has in
tensified the dissatisfaction.
The main danger to the workers
lies in the fact that there is still
/ no conscious organized rank and
file movement to lead the masses
over the heads of the reactionary
leaders, but this open statement
by the Republic Co. will clear UP
many honest workers who have
been confused. The prospects for
development of the rank and file
movement and militant action are
good.

DANCE PROGRAM.

A fantasy in q doll shop that has
the traditional quality of Russian
ballet, a typically American beach
scene and a completely amusing and
thoroughly American grocery store
setting for the third ballet make up
a varied program of dances to be
given Sunday night at $3.50 o'clock at
the National Theater by the Bekefi-
Deleporte Studios Of 2040 s street
northwest.
This is the first formal ballet pro-
duction to be presented by these
studios since they were established
two years ago by Theodore Bekefi, a
member of one of Russia's few
dance" families.
Maurice Deleporte and Billy Lytell,
two American dancers who have won
their places in the fore of dancers in
large musical productions and solo
acts both on the stage proper and In
motion picture presentations, have
charge of the acrobatic and tap num-
bers, respectively.

The deacon" is that unclerical
man who whips around the country
In freight cars, plays poker to the
great embarrassment of his opponents,
takes a "wee nippy" when nobody is
looking and behaves In the eloquent
manner of o man who is playing wolf
behind sleeps clothing. As acted
by Mr.. Churchill the deacon" Is a
profoundly satisfying rascal, keen on
kindly looks, wise on speeches Of
goodness, never ferocious even In
the teeth of adversely, and anxious
only to obtain his own curious SAL
vation.'' Although he is continually
defying the law, and turning a king
Of spades into an ace, he Is never
mean or malicious, and you have
the conviction that even If he fllched
your wallet you would forgive him,
due to the dispatch and friendliness
Of the way he did it.
Mr.. Churchill's expression through
out is kind and virtuous. When he
Is playing an elegant game of crooked
poker his looks remain piouS and
his speech to a group of smaIl-town
maidenS (passed 50) is a model Of
its kind. His mission in the film
Is to aid two youthful lovers to fall
into each others arms and to get
out of town before he is arrested for
being a card shark. Both Of these
things he manages to do. When he
Is gone you have curious feeling
that you would like to see him again.
