Page Two HE’’ST WRITER GETS YEARLY PAY OF $200,000 Arthur Brisbane Is Big Real Estate Operator (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW YORK, March 6.—Not only does Arthur Brisbane turn out more paragraphs than any columnist in the United States but he also makes oodles of money out of real estate, which is his favorite outdoor sport. Millions of Americans read his paragraphs daily. It is true his writings are more and more taking on the character of advertising boosts and thus losing the confidence of former admirers to the author. However, he has a sufficiently large audience to induce William Randolph Hearst paying him $200,000 a year, the largest salary paid to any edi- torial writer in this or any other country. Arthur Brisbane was once a rad- ical but he is now so conservative that it is doubtful if he would even satisfy the membership requirements of the Socialis Party. And it is not surprising. Brisbane's real estate deals have been so_ successful that he is now in the millionaire class, When our readers happen to stum- ble on a Brisbane paragraph extol- ling the climate of Los Angeles or the business opportunities existing in Detroit, or the advantages of liv- ing in New York City he shoutd know that the motives of the fa- mous writer may not be entirely al. truistic, Mr. Brisbane being a h\avy owner of real estate in each of the above named beauty spots. A list of Mr. Brisbane’s holdings would disclose some of the choicest morsels of real estate in New York City. He plans to put up a building costing several millions on Madison avenue in the near future and has succeeded in interesting Mr. Hearst in several investments in that sec- tion. Brisbane is a scientific student and practitioner of the real estate busi- ness. He operates on the same sys- tem as does the United States Cigar Company, basing his investment on careful studies of population. It is said by those in close touch with William Randolph Hearst that his increasing conservatism and particu. larly his open espousal of the Mel- lon tax plan is due to the urgings of Brisbane, who knows enough about economics to enable him to lie plaus- ibly. ‘Gimlet Eye’ Found Nary a Flask, for Society.Had Tip (Special to The Daily Worker) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 6.— “Old Gimlet Eye” Butler, out to bag Philadelphia’s law violators, fired high today—and missed. The director of public safety made good his promise to go after the rich and poor alike. A squad of detec- tives intruded broad flat feet among the dainty slippers of Philly’s first families at the bal masque at the Bellevue Stratford early this morn- ing and looked for liquor. They re- ported they found none whatever. The first families got a kick out of the affair, however. They had been expecting the raid. So had quite a crowd which gathered out- side the hotel. One society matron, whose dance costume was a bathing suit of ex- hilerating dimensions, brought a suit of overalls to wear to the station in case she was arrested. Hindoo Methodist Air Pilots Advised to Descend from Clouds: (By The Federated Press) | CALCUTTA, India, March 6.—| Methodist preachers and laymen in India and Burma will be kept busy | with their feet on the ground if they | carry out the resolutions of their central conference held at Calcutta. They are told to start co-operative societies, improve economic condi- tions of the people, to render “every | possible assistance to the depressed classes.” They are directed to let the employer know about it where workers are suffering injustice, low wages and other abuses. It is true the resolution asks that this be done as politely as possible, but where that doesn’t work the church de- mands that government officials be notified. Ministers are instructed to devote special study to conditions in their districts “where modern in- dustrialism has begun to exploit cheap labor.” Sign up today for German) Relief Day work. | THE DAILY WORKER Smash the Color Line in the Trade Unions HE action of the Negro members of the Workers Party in organizing a committee of colored workers to bring Negro dress makers into the I Workers’ Union and to block ployment agencies that are nternational Ladies’ Garment the efforts of the Negro em- busily engaged in recruiting strikebreakers from the South is a step that is to be com- mended. The fine spirit of solidarit: y, the willingness to sacrifice and to stand shoulder to shoulder with their white fellow- workers, shown by the colored, dress makers in the present Strike gives the lie to the theory that the colored workers cannot be organized. It also brands as a menace to organized labor the policy followed by many unions in the American Federation of Labor, of refusing Negroes admittance into the unions. Had the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union a color line such as prevails in other A. F. of L. unions, the dress manufacturers would have little difficulty in securing a plentiful supply of cheap scab labor from the South to fill the places of the striking employes. The prejudice existing in other unions against the or- ganization of the colored workers threatens the very life of unionism. Negroes by the thousand are now being shipped from the South, turned into skilled mechanics and then used to open the closed shops established thru years of strenuous fighting by many unions and compel those working at the trade to acc employment elsewhere. ept a cut in wages or seek This is being done in Youngstown, Ohio, and in many other places.

CZARIST RECORD IS OPEN SESAME FOR RUSS "BARON’ U. S.

Fought for Wrangel. That career attained its climax when, relieved of his land and con- siderable earthly goods thru the Russian revolution, Royce-Garrett enlisted in the forces of General Wrangel in the hope of restoring the grand old czarist days to all the Rus- sias. Every day, in every way, coun- ter-revolutionary affairs grew worse and worse. Finally, the ill-starred Royce-Garrett, unbefitting the man- ners of the gentry, left hurriedly for the coast of Africa, hopeful ot replenishing his fortunes abroad.

COOLIDGE CALLS IT MERELY “EXCHANGE OF AMENITIES WITH MCLEAN (Special to The Daily Worker) _ WASHINGTON, March 6.—Pres- ident Coolidge today immediately upon being advised of the publica- tion by the Senate investigating committee of his telegram to E. B. MeLean, issued the following statement thru his secretary, C. Bascom Slemp: _ 4 The telegram related to the district commissionership. Samuel J. Prescott is the Republican city chairman and the President desired to confer with him regarding dis- trict_ matters.” : With’ equal dispatch, President Coolidge, upon being informed of the second telegram to McLean read into the committee records, issued a second statement, “The telegram sent\to Mr. Me- Lean on February 12,” the state- ment said, “was in regard to a message from Mr. McLean con- gratulating the President on his Lincoln birthday address in New York.

Police Brutality. In a statement after the sessions of the committee of 15 Chairman Johannsen said the special sub-com- mittee would ask Mayor Dever and Chief of Police Collins—with the view of preventing the brutality in- flicted on strikers—to have the police activity confined strictly to the en- forcement of the law. Another demand which the union- ists will make of Mayor Dever is that every plain clothesman operat- ing in the strike zone, must have a badge on his coat. This is to pre- vent thugs from passing themselves off as police fer the purpose of in- timidating the strixers. 18 More Bosses Yield. The glad news that 18 more shops were about to settle was brought the committee of 15 by Meyer Perl- stein, official] leader of the garment workers’ strike. These 18 shops, owned by 18 dif- ferent bosses, belong to the North- westside Dress Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation, and Perlstein declared that negotiations were practically com- pleted and that official settlement terms would be signed today. This means 48 bosses who have been brought to terms by the strik- ers and points to a triumphant ter- mination of the union’s fight in the Chicago market, declared Perlstein. Tells of Violence. The union’s vice-president pointed out that these victories were being won in spite of the gross brutality that was being practiced, both by the mayor’s own police and the men attached to Crowe’s office. He re- cited a list of instances of extra legal police violence. Crowe’s own vicious labor record is to be dug up by another sub-commit- tee whose names are not made public. This committee will gather together the mass of evidence link- ing the state’s attorney with the open shop interests during the last six months particularly. Competent counsel will be engagce to uncover the evidence of ilevality in his mal. administration of his office towards the labor movement, \ “Owned Body and Soul.” The viewpoint of the Federation men towards the enemy of labor in the prosecutor’s office was express. ed by.

He is absolutely no good. He used to pose as a friend of labor. “But,” continued Buchanan, “there is nothing new in the police trying to break strikes. They always do that.

Strawn, prominent corporation lawyer of Chicago, chairman of the Board of Directors of Montgomery Ward and Company, General Counsel for the Union Stockyards and Transit Company and counsel for several large railroads and other corpora- tions with oily connections, is slated to succeed Harry M. Daugherty as head of the Department of Justice, according to information whispered around here today. Mr. Strawn is at the present time in Palm Beach where all the best minds of the bag rae administra- tion go occasionally for rest and re- xation as.well as to confer with each other as to the best way, to es- cape the toils of the law when caught red handed in looting the country’s treasures. Coolidge, it will be remembered, named Strawn to prosecute the Tea- pot Dome and Naval Oil Reserve rob- bers. but was compelled by senate op- position to cancel the appointment. +a Was discovered that Strawn was up to nis neck in oil, He was director of the First Trust and Savings bank | which handled Standard Oil Company accounts. ! This incident, however, has not shaken the president’s faith in the ability of Mr. Strawn. Mr. Coolidge is known to be quite partial to oil, not particularly the kind used by Mussolini in cleaning up the Italian labor movement. Whether by accident or design the president has managed to pick oil men for the important tasks of pros- ecuting oil men in almost every in- stance since the Teapot Dyme scandal burst. For instance his selection of Samuel Knight of California, to re- cover government oil lands from the Standard Oil Company of California! It hap) that Mr. Knight is on the ' pay roll of the Equitable Trust Com- pany of New York, a Standard Oil Bank. This is enough to make even Silent Cal. smile. The idea of a Standard Oil lawyer being engaged to sue Standard Oil! So that the oily conections of Mr. Strawn will probably not hinder his chances to fill Daugherty’s chair. He is said to be also a great favorite of Charles Evans Hughes.
