Page Four THE DAILY WORKER THE BIG THREE ~ RELIGIONS IN UNITED FRONT To Force Public Schools Teach Religion (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW YORK, March 3.—Chapter Theta Pu Alpha Pi, a rather long name that does not mean much to the average Poor Fish was the ve- hicle which brought about the unity of three warring religious creeds for the purposé of defending the Vir- ey of Mary of Bethlehem against r. Perry Stickney Grant and other clergymen with a progressive turn of mind, At least that is what the organiza- tion of Catholic women under the fancy title had in mind when they called the conference which was held in the Waldorf Astoria recently. Among those present were Areh- bishop Hayes, Mgr. Michael J. La- velle representing the Catholics, the Rey. Dr. D. De Sola Pool, rabbi of the Spanish and, Portuguese syna- gogue and Walton S. Moore, presi- dent of the New York Federation of Churches, representing the protest- ants. This aggregation issued a greeting to the citizens of New York announc- ing that they had formed a com- mitiee that would guarantee a re- ligious training, to every child going to the public schools. How the citizens of New York who know the hostility of the Cath- olic Church to public schools will take these self-appointed saviors is not yet known. Catholic Teachers Applaud Rabbi. Over 3,000 Catholic school teach- ers packed the grand ball room of the Waldorf Astoria where the meet- ing, was held. The Rabbi spoke for the Jews. Dr. Walter M. Howlett, head of the Daily Vacation Bible School association spoke for the pro- testants. The archbishop and Mgr. Lavelle spoke for the Catholics. The judiciary was there of course. Supreme Court Justice Thomas C. T. Crain represented the Episcopalians and Judge Alfred J. Talley spoke for the Catholics. Hdward W. Stitt, as- sistant superintendent of public schools and four district superin- tendents sat on the platform. The program began with “The Star Spangled Banner,” and ended up with “Holy God We Praise Thy Name,” a Catholic hymn, It seems the Catholics had the best of the United Front. The advantages of religion as an aid to government were enumerated by Archbishop Hayes. Religious peo- ple have reverence for authority, he declared. He might add that is 95 per cent of the value of religion. It = ing for those in. high. places. Clerics Forget Sectarianism. The doors of our schools are closed to God he declared, All the speakers emphasized the need for all religious denominations to get together in de- fense of their common graft. At the rate contempt for religion is grow- ing in the country, another genera- tion might see most of the clergy writing poetry for a living. The seandals of clergymen whose prin- cipal activity seems to be running away with their female choristers, the high death rate among kitchen maids in the houses of priests and the gen- eral moral decline among the rabbis combined with the passing of hair as a desirable decoration for the human countenance, combine to make the life of the clergy anything but happy. A desperate effort must be made to inject the opium into the immature minds of the children and the Cath- olic Church is leading the way as usual. Average Hourly Wage of Workers in 1,700 Plants Shows Decline NEW YORK, March 3.—The av- erage hourly pay of workers In 1,700 manufacturing plants in the United States during December, 1923, was 55.9 cents, according to the report pf the National Industrial Confer- ence board, This compares with av- erage hourly earnings of 56.1 cents in November. ) Part-time work in a number of in- dustries was reflected in the fact that these workers averaged only 47.4 hours a week in Deeember as com- pared with an average of more than 49 hours in December, 1922. rhe», hed I suppose you have been wondering where I have been since the Chicago Subscription Con- test started?

LOUIS, March 3.—An inve: tigation of tax books here has re- vealed frauds by which the city of St. Louis has been swindled of $85,- 781 by erasures and alterations of real estate tax records during the last five years. Tax payers favored by the doctored records are high in the councils of St. Louis politics and big business. Those who profited by the frauds will be called upon to pay up, according to city officials, William P. Etling, former chief deputy assessor, and William P. Cau- field, Jr., former clerk in Etling’s office, have been indicted on charges of bribery and alteration of public records. One beneficiary of the tax reductions testified he bribed Etling. Etling was thereupon removed from office, Fears are expressed that the strangle hold of the republican po- litical bosses on St. Louis city af- fairs may be broken in the approach- ing campaign as a result of the wholesale frauds at the city hall. During 1928 Mayor Kiel and his board of estimates and apportion. ment kicked aside several requests from city employes for better pay on the allegation that the city was broke and could not stand improved wage standards. The board of alder- men recently passed a bill providing for a flat increase of $30 a month to city firemen, this being one de- velopment in a two-year fight of the union firemen for better wages. But that ordinance must yet survive Mayor Kiel’s estimate and appor- tionment board. How many of your shop-mates read THE DAILY WORKER. Get one of them to subscribe today.

(Staff Correspondent of The Federated Press) BERLIN, March 8.—Recognition of Russia by the British Labor gov- ernment was hailed with satisfaction at the Russian embassy here. A prominent official of the embassy made the following statement to the Federated Press. “Recognition means that Russia can now negotiate with Britain on equal terms. People who try to pick a flaw in the situation by pointing out that long negotiations may yet be ahead before an agreement is reached simply don’t know what they are talking about. The Russian point of view has been thruout, ‘first recognize us, then negotiate.’ The Baldwin government wanted us first to negotiate and then they would say whether they would rec- ognize us. That would have put us in an unfavorable position; we should then not have been recogniz- ed as equals in the negotiations. “Others have tried tg interpret the fact that for the present there won’t be an exchange of ambassadors, but merely of charges d'affaires, as an indication that, after all the recogni- tion is not a full one. These people, again, simply don’t know diplomatic usage. No country sends an ambas- sador to another until a so-called agreement has been reached. Amer- ica, for instance, after the war took up diplomatic relations again with Germany, but no ambassadd™, was sent until after a treaty regulating all affairs had been established. That did not mean that the two countries continued their enmity. Americans came to visit Germany, passports were vised, and in general life be- tween the two countries developed as in pre-war times. The sending of an ambassador was merely a question of time and formality. “The same situation applies with reference to British-Russian rela- tions. The charge d'affaires will be followed by an ambassador as soon as the details have been settled. “British aetion will have a pro- found influence upon other countries, as has already happened in the case of Italy. We can. now afford to wait until France and America make up their minds to climb onto the loaded bandwagon.” Convict Evangelist, Who Hated Reds, of a sages FS 6 = + Crime Against Girl (By The Federated Press) TACOMA, Wash., Mar. 3.—Three Fingered Jack Godwin, an evangelist who specializes in converting radicals to the true faith, will confine his re- ligious attentions exclusively to poli- tical prisoners for some time to come. Jack has been found guilty by a jury of a sex offense against a little girl. When arrested in California at the request of the Tacoma police he received muck space in the daily press for his claim that he was being framed up by the radicals because of his effective work against bolshevism. His claims were not presented at the trial to counteract the evidence of statutory crime on which he was con- vieted. Meeting to Limit Families Coming Despite Preachers SYRACUSE, N. Y., March 3.— Ministers of the gospel in Syracuse disagree with the waggish fellow who insists upon calling the baby carriage a blunderbuss. When it was announced recently that the state conference of birt} control advocates would be held here, a meeting of clergymen demanded ‘that the city council pass a special ordinance, prohibiting the discussion of birth control in public.

One feels that, in this play, GB. S. has unleashed the pent-up, hot emotions which, in his most successful works, he has subordinated to cold intellectuality. Not that “Saint Joan” does not abound in satire. But this is the weakest aspect of his powerful stage chronicle. The jibes at the English in “Saint Joan” often verge perilously close to the slapstick;-and of the blows at the Catholic church, a few are telling, while many are overstressed. In the second act, wherein the Archbishop of Rheims unveils the shams of his cult, one wishes that his deceptions were ren- dered less apparent and that the dramatist had left us to do more of our own “debunking.” But these vulnerable passages serve to magni- fy the mature wisdom and beauty of the play as a whole. Mr. Shaw leaves the traditional story of Joan virtually intact. Joan is merely shorn of the superstitiqns woven around -her legend. Her be- havior is rationalized, and she stands before us, the unripe girl, obedient to her aonscience, courage- ously defying Church and State in her resplendent faith, 5 The eternal price of heresy is the recurrent theme. Last century’s iconoclasm becomes the sanctified re- spectability of today. And when, in the epilogue Joan reappears before her inquisitors, who are now her humble worshippers, we are made to realize that they would avidly burn her again at the stake, were she to return in the flesh, We are re- minded that, because men possess so little imagination, a new saint must be crucified for each generation. Only the shabby English soldier, a reincarnated Henry Dubb, reveals something akin to genuine under- standing of Joan’s spirit—and he, of course, is merely on furlough from hell. Right to Picket Is Issue in Trial of 170 Shoe Workers NEW YORK, March 3.—Labor’s right to picket during a strike is the issue on which 170 shoe workers of Brockton, Mass., are resolved to go to jail in a body if necessary in connections with their trial on ap- peal before the Massachusetts Su- perior court. The men were arrest- ed during the shoe workers’ strike last July, when the Brockton city attorney ruled that picketing by strikers -is- Hlegal. The Civil Liberties Union and the Labor Defense Council announce that they will grant full support to the shoe workers in their legal struggle. Apparently, the local authorities decided that the anti-picketing de- cree could not be sustained, so the 170 laborers were arrested in tenuous charges of loitering, intimidation and assault. Judge William Rowe imposed jail sentences ranging from ten days to four months and fines amounting to $3,500. A change of venue was demanded during the first trial on the plea that Judge Wil- liam Rowe is a brother of Frederick Rowe, superintendent of the Chester Eaton shoe works, where the strike had been ealled; it was further al- leged that Judge Rowe personally held stock in that concern. The change of venue was refused. When the appeal is heard District Attorney Williams, who prosecuted the case against Sacco and Van- zetti, will represent the state. Why Not Put the Capitalist System Out of Business? (By The Federated Press) SEATTLE, March 3.—Echoes of the Teanot’Dome scandal were heard ‘ierdss the continent in addresses before the Seattle Central Labor council when T. C. Robbins, repre- sentative of the railway employes department, American Federation of Labor, appealed to workers to clean out reactionaries in the na- tional administration. Edwin Denby, deposed cabinet member, promised railway employers at the height of the shopmen’s strike that even the navy, if possible, would be used to help break the walkout by aiding in transporting goods be- tween coastal cities, Robbins de- clared. H. M. Daugherty, attorney general whose fall is believed immin- ent, struck a black blow at labor in his permanent injunction against the shopmen, The Esch-Cummins act repeal is the acid test of candidates for con- gress, Robbins told the council.

THEATRE | BIRTH CONTROL CLINIC OPENS IN GERMANY Information Given Free to Workers —— By LOUIS P, LOCHNER. (Staff Correspondent of The Federated Press) BERLIN, March 3.—The state of Prussia has received an unusual gift in the form of an institute for sex- science (sexualwissenschaft). It is to be known as the Magnus Harsch. feld Foundation for Sex Science and is given by Dr. Hirschfeld, One of the important departments of this institute, thru which press representatives were taken by the founder, is that in which free advice on sex matters is given to married people. This department is consult- ed most by men and women of the working classes, who for ecomomic and other reasons are worried over the prospect of additional offspring. Birth control information, otherwise usually available only to the rich, thus becomes available to the workers, _ The subject of eugenics also comes in for attention at these consulta- tions, and couples with bad family histories, which make it more than likely that their offspring will be de- fective or degenerate, are given the necessary information for preventing conception, The institute also treats sadism, homo-sexuality, perversion and the like, and tries to find the remedy rather than merely condemning such unfortunates to social ostracism. A special research department is in touch with the physicians of prisons and houses of correction and is gath- ering valuable material for showing the connection between sex and crime. In the institute is a museum showing specimens of every type of sexual disease and irregularity. Representatives of the various de- partments of the federal Syvernment as well as city and state authorities were present at the exercises mark- ing the transfer of the foundation to the state. It was pointed out in the formal addresses that there is only one other city on the European con- tinent that has a similar institute, Vienna. ie, ee a (There is no official center in the United States for dissemination of sex science but the American Birth Control League, room 1906, 104 Fifth avenue, New York City, distributes free literature—Ed.)

Once more, nothing is heard from his attorney general, Harry Daugherty. The forest land grab covers 3,- 000,000 acres of valuable forest ‘lands claimed as part of its original grant from the ‘government by the first of the Hill reads. The records of the government show that the full amount of the original grant of lands —which sold for about two and a half times the total cost of the road —have been given to the company. Congress was heavily bribed, in the Civil war period, to give away these public lands to railroad promoters. The Union Pacific crowd were the first to get a princely domain from Congress. They “greased” theiy bill thru to passage in the week follow- ing the battle of Gettysburg, when the attention of the country was fixed on the fact that the Confederacy had been broken.

The Socialist Party is a debating society, a loose organization where one can obtain saaaree 2 bourgeois entertainment, only it is decorated with radical plumes in order to make it seem different, make it seem rev- olutionary.” “Well, if people are not ready for the real thing, an imitation of it is perfectly alright.” “Tt is evident that you still have the Second International idefogy. There is no short road to Commun- ism. You can’t fool people into it. Half, measures are worse than use- less, They must understand what the really revolutionary spirit is. It seems that you, too, need a little enlightenment in that line” “But how, where, can I find out just what is the function of the Third International? How it differs from the second, and so on. Recommend me some book” “There is no book, no good book on that subject published But you can find out about it—” “Find out about it? What do you mean? Where?” “For the first time in the United States are lectures given not only on the functions of the Third, but also on the Second and First Inter- nationals.” “But where?” “At the Workers’. School, University Pl., New York City.” “And who is the lecturer?” “Ludwig Lore, editor of the Volks- zeitung.” “What time does he give it?” “He gives lectures each Thursday at 8 p.m. You had better come to hear him and bring your friends along.” “What school is that—” “The Workers’ School—whose sole purpose it is to give real communist education.” “This is the’ first time I have heard of it. I certainly will come Thursday night. Good-bye.” More Wind and Less Strings Is Alfred Frankenstein’s Motto By ALFRED V, FRANKENSTEIN. Harvey Noack, first flute player in the Civic orchestra, was soloist with the Chicago Symphony orchestra at the popular concert on Feb. 28, at Orchestra Hall. This is the first. time in a number of years that a soloist on a tvind instrument has played with the orchestra. The only other occa- sion in the memory of this writer was when Alfred Barthel, now first oboe in’ the symphony, played a concerto. It is interesting to reflect for a moment on why our solo perform- ances should be limited to string in- struments, voice, aid piano. It is not because there is no literature. Nor is it because there is no public interest, since wind solists have thrived in the past and there is no indication that they would get no support in the present. And only the musical jackasses declare that the stringed instruments possess some mysterious artistic quality that the wind instruments lack, _ The most potent reason is that the music schools and societies that en- courage musical endeavor take no cognizance of anything but singers, pianists, and violinists. Nowhere in this country is a scholarship offered in wind instruments, and only one organization of musicians has offered anything in the way of encourage- ment to wind players. The Society of American Musi- cians, a Chicago organization, for the last three years has put on @ con- test for young American musicians. Last year the contest was opened to flutists. Next year it will be open for not only singers, pianists, violinists, ‘eellists and flutists, but players of the clarinet, oboe and bassgon will be admitted also. We hope that next year the trumpet, French horn and trombone will be included as well. And more fervently we hope that other societies will follow the lead of the Society of American Musi- 127 ‘ians. : The digression is long but worthy. Noack, ner in the contest spoken of above, earned in this way his ap- pearance with the Symphony or- chestra. J, Henry Walton, tenor, winner in the voice section of the same con- test, sang an aria from Coleridge- HS lor’s “Hiawatha” most beauti- ‘uly. Other numbers on the were Karl Goldmark’s “Rustic Wedding” overture by Smetana, a eorge Schumann, and the from the Berlioz Faust that were played on the regular Symphony pro-| gram last week. For the next popular concert, to be layed at Orchestra Hall on March 3s, Olga Lat at ante ac who ood gre ES SEE LABOR ISSUE SINCE SANHEDRIN Radicals Got Results Comment Shows That the result of the Negro All- Race Congress or Sanhedrin which the DAILY WORKER reported at length during its sessions in Chicago was to put the labor issue squarely before the Race is evident from the comment of the Negro press. The Negro press comments at length on the part takerf by dele- gates from the Workers Party and the African Blood Brotherhood in showing the necessity for an alliance of black and white workers and it notes that the social welfare type of leaders at the Sanhedrin such as Dean Kelly Miller were unable ‘to keep the labor issue off the floor. Crusader Reporting Fine. Most important of all the Negro press agencies is the Crusader Ser- vice, published by the African Blood Brotherhood and distributed to Negro publications particularly and to labor papers generally, regardless of race, oy re This service had splendid reports of the All-Race Congress and em- phasized the same significant fea- tures that were brought out in the DAILY WORKER’S reports. The Crusader Service scored the reac- tionary real estate sharks, who sabotaged the fight against segrega- tion, and the chamber of commerce interests that sabotaged efforts to place the Sanhedrin on record for solidarity between the oppressed of both races. Quotes Daily Worker. Just at hand is a copy of the February 29 issue of the Pittsburgh American, a Negro paper that is not radical or of a special labor charac- ter. But it found the labor issue at the Sanhedrin of sufficient news im- portance to reprint nearly half a page from the DAILY “*WORKER’S reports, The American gives special atten- tion to the DAILY WORKER'S re- porting of the personell of the gov- erning committee, consisting. of Dean Kelly Miller; F, B. Ransom, J. L. Neil and R. N. Hawkins, showing the professional and business connec- tions of each which prevent their championing the cause of labor. And it gives the labor néwspaper’s ac- count of Miller’s efforts to sabotage labor at the conclave and his failure to cover up this vital issue. Pleads For Bourgeoisie. The Pittsburgh Courier, a rival Negro per, managed by Editor Vann, who took a prominent part in the nhedrin, argues with the DAILY WORKER and with Lovett Fort-Whiteman of the Workers Party who had an article therein, The Courier fears for the Negro bour- geoisie, that Fort-Whiteman criti- cises, fears frankly, pleads that the progress of the rate is dependent on the prestige of the Negro leadership drawn fropt the ranks of this new bourgeoisie and wants radical labor to handle them more gently. This at least shows that radical Negro labor is no longer ignored; that the old line Negro leaders are on the defensive, Numerous Negro papers comment- ed on the part radical Negro labor played in the convention, some hos- tilely, some favorably. Labor Issues Before Race. The mass of comment shows that the labor issue is before the Race; it. will not down. The labor issue was put before the Race by the rad- ical workers present at the Sand- hedrin in spite of the efforts of the conservatives to make it just a nice Sunday school social service sort of affair. . This means that the campaign for the elimination of the color barrier in the remaining labor unions will be waged with more and more in- tensity and the time is brought near- er when the workers will show un- divided solidarity, regardless of race, creed or color.
