N Thursday, March 20, 1924 THE DAILY WORKER COOLIDGE SEEN AS LIABILITY TO WALL STREET Morgans Would Choose Another Henchman By FREDERICK KUH. (Staff Correspondent of Federated Press) NEW YORK, March 19.—An emis- sary of Wall Street has gone to Washington and in a two-hour con- ference urged Coolidge to make the desperate dramatic gesture of throw- ing his cabinet overboard, bag, bag- gage and oil cans. Since the rejec- tion of this proposal by Coolidge, Wall Street has been considering the possibility of some other presiden- tial candidate. Morgan’s Ditching Call. _ While one powerful financial group is still clinging to Cal’s one- hoss shay, sanother—no less potent and said to embrace the Morgan ele- ment—is reported to have declined categorically to contribute to the Coolidge campaign coffers, There is an intermediate group that retains its hope that the white house will admit some stage-thunder which may throw the fear of G. 0. P, into the voters’ hearts. Regardless of the pool of oily in- trigue, in which the administration is steeped,: the preponderence of Wall Street sentiment remained loyal to Coolidge. Undaunted by the cabi- net’s implication, thru a thousand and one threads, in the mesh of waste, bribery, falsehood and similar sports, the financial overlords contin- ued to put their stakes upon Cool- idge’s presidential candidacy, Worried Third Party But Federated Press inquiries among the big bankers show that the imminent emergence of the third party, now believed to be certain, is causing anxiety among Cal’s finan- cial cohorts. Wall Street opinion is a ponderous affair, slow to gather momentum, but all the harder to check, once it begins to shift. That is why the defection of a section of Coolidge’s adherents on “the Street” may still devolve into an avalanche, sweeping the president’s electoral campaign into the rubbish heap. An international banker of first magnitude admitted to The Federat- ed ‘Press that even Wall Street is beginning to realize that the frayed false whiskers and blue spectacles of the old party-must be replaced by a more effective disguise. The shrewder members of this set are aware that the president, his cabinet and the Republican and Democratic vehicles are now dilapidated objects, beyond redemption, except in the eyes of the most credulous elector- ate. The hunt is now in full swing for some expedient that. will white- wash the blackest spots on the bat- tered parties’ hulk. Hurry May Spill Beans Replying to questions, the banker described information, said to be in the hands of the senate investiga- ‘tors, which Attorney General Daugh- erty is employing ‘to exert pressure” (as the libel-proof phrase goes) up- on his bosom enemies/in the cabinet and senate. This information, of the most compromising nature to influen- tial leaders, may be made public, if the attorney general feels that his own position is no longer tenable. It is the danger of these further ex- posures, as well as the morning-af- ter taste of preceding revelations, that is obliging Wall Street to re- consider its support for Coolidge. Knocked Her Eye Out, Then Soaks Victim for Operation (Special to The Daily Worker) ST.

Eugene O'Neill’s Play Rouses Controversy in Puritanic New York By FREDERICK KUH (Staff, Correspondent of Federated Press) NEW YORK, March 19-—The new Eugene O'Neill play, “All God’s Chillun Got Wings,” which will open in April, is arousing a storm of con- troversy. The drama tells the story of a Negro’s marriage with a white woman; how they are hounded by the subtle persecutions of friends, neighbors and townsfolk, finally seek refuge in Paris; but realize at the end that their sense of isolation and inferiority has taken root within themselves. Cast out by American society, battered in the maelstrom of race antagonism, each discovers ul- timately that he, and sne, are even CRAFTER CHORUS HAIL S MARINE DENBY’S RETURN “Welcome Home, Ned,” Cries Detroit Mayor By SHERMAN BOWMAN (Staff Correspondent of Federated Press) DETROIT, March 19, — Cannon boomed in salute, airplanes from the Selfridge : (army) field soared in honor overhead, the police band play- ed patriotic music, shop windows were hung with flags, whistles blew on steamboats, locomotives and fac- tories. A delegation was at the sta- tion with committee badges on coat lapels; flag-decked automobiles, led by a police motorcycle division es- cort, sirens shrilling, streamed thru downtown streets, to the board of commerce, thence to the city hall and thence to the Detroit Athletic club. It was the farce and fraud of wel- coming Edwin. Denby, home in dis- grace after signing, away public oil reserves. A little group in the board of com- merce conspired to fasten Denby as a hero in his home town. Newspa- pers reported the jubilee on pege one. The mayor and others made speeches at the dinner at the board of commerce. The American legion end the army and navy club, thru officials, lent their names to the offi- cial invitations and advance publicity tho it was navy oil Denby had signed away: “Welcome home, Ned,” exclaimed Mayor Martin as the former secre- tary of the navy entered the city hall. “Detroit has given you a great- er welcome than it has any other man. Altho there have been a few stones cast in your path, no true marine will find these insurmount- able.” Denby was formerly a member of the United States marine corps... His enlistment as a private at this coun- try’s entry in the war was one of the sophomorific political tricks that have constituted his only means to power, And he has learned no new ones, it appeared, for he rushed from the mayor while that dignitary’s mouth was open to shake conspicu- ously the hand of Si Weingarden, a newsboy who had followed the crowd.

Fliers in Big Flight (Special to The Daily Worker) LONDON, March 19-——Stirred by the start of American airplanes on a world flight, Great Britain is rushing plans to enter the race and beat the Americans around the world, the Evening News declared today. The Britishers will fly eastward, whereas the course of the United States army fliers is taking them westward. Three royal air force airmen, one at least using a Napiers- Vicker amphibian plane similar to that which Sir Ross Smith flew to Australia, are hurrying secret pre- parations for a start, the News states. It had been planned to start the British flight April 15, but the date has been put ahead.

True, no one broke up the party by talking out of turn. But jamboree outcast from one another. The New York press is besieged with the usual letters of protest. Rotarians and pseudo-reformers are framing resolutions against the pre- sentation of the play. Their atti- tude, of course, is that the subject of intermarriage between white and black must be hush-hushed. Critics of O’Neill’s drama,. few of whom have troubled to read the play, are aghast that miscegenation should find its way to the American stage. They are undaunted by the fact that intermarriage of Negroes and whites is a common occurrence in this coun- try and a social issue of growing im- portance. None of these critics ap- pear interested in the artistic merits of the play. They believe that the solution of a disquieting issue is to evade it.

D., March 19.— The, first meeting in Clay county for the ‘Organization of a branch of the Workers Party was held at Dales- burg, a little inland village in the central part of the county, about 12 miles south of Centerville, South Dakota. Alfred Knutson, of Mitchell, 8. D., the district organizer, was pres- ent and explained. the salient rea- sons for such organization. Tt is safe to say that a movement of this kind would have been tly ridiculed if attempted a dagtile age.

FOREIGN-BORN Council Plans Monster Mass Meeting | The dangers contained in the bills’ directed against foreign-born work- ers which have been introduced into) the United States Congress have been brought vividiy to the attention of the Chicago workers in general, Na- tive born as well as foreign-born workers realize the seriousness of this danger and consequently the re- sponse to the campaign of protest, initiated by the Workers Party, has been tremendous. At the present time there are affiliated to the local Chicago Council for Protection of Foreign-born Workers, organizations representing a total of more than 67,000 workers. The Council, ag well as its aims and object’, has been en-| dorsed by the Chicago Federation of} Labor, and the whole labor move-/ ment, including local unions and lan- guage fraternal organizations, have become strongly animated by this campaign, Organizations Represented.

Capitalist Politician Appears, The extent to which this has been recognized was shown most clearly in the Conference held of the Chicago Council Sunday, March 1fth, when even one of the candidates for Repub- lican Nomination for Clerk of the Municipal Court, Titus Haffa, altho a. big employer himself, appearing before the conference, stated that he recognized the necessity of the work- ers getting together and acting to- gether, politically, This has been the keynote in the campaign: that the workers thru their own party must place their own representatives in the law-making bodies and thru this instrument, control the actions of their representatives. The various language fraternal language branches of the Workers Party, have organized strong coun- cils and all of them are active in or- ganizing mass meetings and creating mass sentiment so as to bring press- ure to bear upon the capitalist poli- ticians. All of these councils are sending their representatives to the central council so as to unify the uanian Workers Organizations in Chicago district.

W. A.. conducted a nine months’ strike in the Pawtuxet Valley and elsewhere. “If industrial warfare breaks out at Crompton,” said Palmer, “the re- sponsibility for it will rest entirely with the officials of the Crompton Company, and Specifically with the head of the company, Mr. Frank Richmond, former president of the Rhode Island Textile Manufacturers’ Association. The union has spade an honest effort to have tae officials of the company confer for the purpose of establishing an agreement that would permit of the settlement of grievances and disputes, Many Grievances. There are many specific griev--*— ances to be adjusted at C: involving wages, hours and matters, Palmer declared. He also said that the general grievance against the attitude of the company was. a profound one that might not be easily overcome by the company officials. It has grown up out of the year-long effort of the company to institute a company union in its plant, under the “industrial democ- racy” plan, promoted, the union charges, by professional union- smashers. This company union plan failed, as the union opposed it stren- uously and the workers voted it down three times, the vote being taken by the company itself. Palmer said that the company fs now using the threat to close down if the workers do not obey the man- date from the company officials. “This threat on the part of people who have been talking a lot about ‘industrial democracy’ will do much to bring the anger of the workers to the breaking point,” Palmer said. ta ST !
