Page Four TH E DAILY WORKER Friday, April 18, 1924 JURY AWARDS HEAVY DAMAGES LANDLORD VICTIM Heatless Apartment Was Cause of Death A rude shock was dealt apartment house owners yesterday by a jury which returned a verdict of $10,000 for Mrs. Helen F. Bornholdt, who charged that her husband died from pneumonia contracted in a heatless apartment. Many apartment house owners are rallying around the de- fendant, and an appeal will be made from the decision for fear that nu- merous suits will be started if the/ award is allowed to go uncontested. Mrs, Bornholdt charged that her husband took cold and contracted pneumonia because her landlords, S. T. Butler and Laura McIntosh, failed to supply sufficient heat, de- “spite repeated appeals. “We were forced to wear sweaters and overcoats to keep from freezing,” Mrs. Bornholdt testified. Physicians were called, some testi- | to know what it is. THE DAILY WORKER MUST GET MOST OF ITS NEWS FROM ITS READERS IF IT IS TO BE A‘REAL WORKERS PAPER By WILLIAM F, DUNNE. The DAILY WORKER is operating with the smallest staff that, with possibly one exception, ever got out a daily paper in the United States. It wants to carry all the news of labor unions, co-operative societies, shop and job news, news of all working- class activities, that it can crowd into its six pages. It has not and it cannot afford to have paid correspondents nor does it consider that this is the proper method of getting the news of everything that affects and interests the workers and farmers. It believes that the right method is for workers and farmers themselves to furnish news to a workingclass paper and it, there- fore, proposes to do all it can to inform its readers so that they can give the DAILY WORKER what it needs to become a real expression of the most intelligent and militant section of the workers and farmers of the United States. * WHAT NEWS IS. In the first place, to be able to furnish news it is necessary! Every day in every district where there are workers and bosses, farmers and bankers, unions and employers’ fying that pneumonia could be con-| organizations—in other words, wherever the class struggle rages, tracted quicker in overheated than in underheated apartments, while others testified the opposite. The jury re- turned its verdict within an hour for the full amount of the suit. This is the first time in the history of the state that such an award has been made. Teachers Admit Guilt But Judge Punishes Striking Pupils’ Parents Bernard Weil, 1756 West Roosevelt road, father of Bernice Weil, a pupil whose punishment started the trou- ble, and Mrs. Rose Speez, 1921 Tay- lor street, were each fined $100 as a result of the recent school strike, but later Judge McKinley suspended sen- tence and placed both on probation for six months. In Corner for Hour and Half. Bernice Weil, 12 years old, was the principal witness for the defense of her father and Mrs. Speez. She testi- fied that Mrs. Margaret Royce, a sew- ing teacher at the school, had made her stand in a corner an hour and a half for-tardiness. Miss Mary E. Tobin, principal of the school, admitted that ‘Mrs..Royce’s practice in punishing-tardy pupils was bad, and that she had been repri- mandged for it. The judge agreed that Mrs. Royce deserved a reprimand when Bernice testified that she had attempted to explain to the teacher she was late because she had been helping her sick mother. Framed Charges—Secret Sessions. Then Attorney William Micon, rep- resenting Weil, got into action and told the judge he would file formal charges against Miss Tobin and Mrs. Royce, before the board of education. “So far,” he said, “the investigation the trustees said they have made of the Cregier school row has been in the secret, star-chamber sessions for which the board is famous. Now I am going to bring it out into the open.” Handing Out Another Job. WASHINGTON, April 17.— Marion sentative William J. Graham, Mlinois, was suggested to President Coolidge today by Representative Longworth, Ohio, republican leader of the house, for appointment as successor to fhe Jate Judge Smythe of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. For Better Days In Paris PARIS, April 17—A divorce was granted to Mrs. Laura Beatrice Merriam Curtis from James Freeman Curtis, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. She was granted the custody of the children. Your Union Meeting Thied Friday, April 18th, 1924, Name of Local and Place of Meeting. and Conf., 3480 W. Roose- 10 W. Harrison St. Council, 180 W.

BE BRIEF. The DAILY WORKER has but six pages. Follow the first rule of newswriting—get into the first para- graph, if possible these five things—WHAT—WHERE—WHO— WHEN—WHY. Give just enough local color for the proper background. Send in the story as soon as the news occurs. If you furnish the facts the editors will be able to make any editorial comment necessary. That is one of the things editors are’for. Use a typewriter if it is humanly possible. If you cannot use a typewriter, write plainly with lots of space between the lines. If you are in doubt as to how much space to leave start, by leaving what you think is too much and then make the space twice as wide. Space is necessary between lines so that editors can make necessary corrections or insertions without having to re-write! the whole story. Re-writing takes time. Number your pages if there is ee than one. * * LETTERS TO THE PAPER. Make a distinction between letters to the DAILY WORKER giving your views on various subjects and news stories. Letters from readers will be printed in a special department. See to it that you do not combine a news story and an article. The edit- ors may have to dig out the news story at the expense of much time and trouble and then be unable to publish your letter. The DAILY WORKER wants expression from its readers but the same rule applies—BE BRIEF. 200 to 300 word letters are best and in no case should they exceed 500 words. They must all be edited and it takes time that cannot be spared to wade thru a half-dozen pages of hand-writ- ten manuscript. If your letter deals with the acts or utterances of some in- dividual do not be abusive for the sake of abuse. It does no’ strengthen your case. This rule does not apply to capitalists an workingclass traitors but even when dealing with them do not trust to abuse to replace argument. 3 FINAL SUGGESTIONS. When a news story you have sent in is printed read it care- fully and see what corrections have been made and try not to! make the same mistakes again. You may be sure that any changes that have been made were necessary; editors do not make changes in copy or re-write it for the fun of the thing; they are too busy. If these few things are followed by our readers the DAILY WORKER will be able to cover the whole field of the worker and farmer movement in the United States at slight expense and its news will have the additional value of being the actual history, of the class struggle as it develops day by day, compiled by those who are in the first line of that struggle. When the DAILY WORKER becomes that kind of a paper it will not need to worry about support because it will be as much a part of the revolutionary movement as are the workers and farmers who compose it. Start today to be a correspondent of the DAILY WORKER and a historian of the class struggle in the United States. What Did the Russian » Communists Decide? There is universal interest thruout the United States, among thinking workers especially, about the decisions of the Russian Com- munist Party growing out of its recent discussions, which have been ied In the DAILY WORKER, We are, therefore, sure that there will be an extensive reading of the two re: ions on party policy, the second of which is being concluded on Page Five today. The first of these was the Resolution of the Central Committee of the Central Control CommissionsConcerning the Party Structure. This was unanimously adopted, at the joint session of the Political Bureau of the Russian Communist Party and of the Presidium of the Central Control Commission. The second deals with the Immediate Tasks Policy. Turn to Page Five today and read it. * aul of the Economic Free Philippines! Labor And Liberal Organizations Cry (By The Federated Press) NEW YORK, April 17.—Complete independence for the Philippines ef- fective as soon as civil and military representatives of the United States can be withdrawn is demanded in a resolution to congress signed by rep- resentatives of labor and liberal orga- nizations of the country. Part of the appeal, initiated by the American Civil Liberties unnon, follows: “On several occasions since 1899 the government of the United States speaking thru the president and con- gress has specifically pledged itself to grant Philippine independence as soon as a stable government is estab- lished in the islands. The practically unanimous demand for independence by the Philippine people shows their own estimate of their ability to con- duct their affairs. But quite irres- pective of their competence for self- government, we would urge their right to independence.” Among the signers of the resolu- tion are James H, Maurer, President Penn. Federation of Labor; Wm. J. Johnston, President Int. Assn. of Ma- chinists; Frederick C. Howe, former U. S. immigration commissioner at New York; Edward T. Devine, mem- ber recent U. §S. coal commision; Moorfield Story, former | president Bar Association, and the following churchmen: Bishop Paul Jones, Rab- bi Stephen S. Wise, John Haynes Holmes, Father John A. Ryan, and Harry F. Ward. Round World Flight Halted For Week Pending Engine Repairs WASHINGTON, April 17.— A new motor for the plane Seattle, flagship of the round-the-world flight, is on its way to Alaska, the War Depart- ment said today. The flight will be delayed, a week or more until the engine is installed and other repairs made to the Seat- tle, which was forced down on the Alaskan coast. Latest advices to the Department from Major Martin, commander of the squadron, who, with his mechanic, was lost for 24 hours in the Alaskan wastes, are that he is none the worse for his night of exposure. Brief dispatches from. Lieutenant Smith, second in command, indicated Martin’s trouble was due to faulty lubrication. Ford’s Pike County Miners Not Allowed To Join The Union By The Fed ; Pi ASHLAND, Ky. April hee Henry Ford has mines in Pike county, Ky., adjoining Mingo county, W. Va. His coal is taken across the Tug river and loaded on the West Virginia side and hauled 80 miles on the Chesa- peake & Ohio railway to Ironton, where it is transferred to Ford’s own railroad that commences there. In Harland county near the Tennessee line there are other Ford mines. The operations are at present small, about seven openings in all, employing ap, proximately 300 men. Ford’s men are not permitted to join the union and at present they are not getting steady work, neither do they receive the union scale, altho they come nearer to it than at any other non-union operations here. “Cal” Thinks Time Is Ripe For Him To Say Something WASHINGTON, April 17.—Presi- dent Coolidge intends to make a plain, unfrilled statement of the is- sues of the presidential campaign as he sees them, when he addresses aevspaper editors in New York next week. It is desirable, in Mr. Coolidge’s opinion, that the public be always in- formed as to what it may expect from him and his administration pro- pursuit, viding they are returned to power, He has clear ideas of the issues, and both he and his advisers agree that there is no reason why the Presi- dent should not at once take a defi- nite stand upon them. ‘ Japanese Premier - Of Exclusion Vote TOKIO, April 17— Friendship be- tween Japan and the United States will remain unbroken altho the record may be “impaired” by the passage of the Japanese exclusion measure by Congress, Premier Kiyoura of Japan, declared today. He indicated that the letter of Am- bassador Hanihara, which created such a sensation in the United States may have been interpreted in a way not intended by Japan and pointed out that it was written in a “lan- guage foreign to us.” Get Rubber Payroll. — AKRON, Ohio, April 17.— Three | Po: bandits held up payroll prt. ae of the American Hard Rubber pany today and escaped with a $17,000 pay- roll.

More than ever The Power Column is being enabled to live up to its name as the column which sets forth the activities of those who are giving the power to the DAILY WORKER. The week ending on April 16 has been particularly encouraging. Subs confinue to pour in, Locals which got away to good starts ate showing their sticking ability by keep up the good work and in other localities where the biz campaign did not at first show much activity there is now being manifested an ardent attempt to give evidence of militant determination in the DAILY WORKER behalf. Warren, Ohio Shares the Lead. After a merry chase Warren, Ohio, has been able to overcome the lead assumed early in the campaign by Miles City, Mont. The latter added only one sub to its roster while Warren increased its list by four. Both are being pushed by Superior, Wis., which made the best record for the week with 21 new subs added. Newark, N. J., took a rapid climb from far down in the scale to fourth place while several other cities. have made speedy headway and are threatening to pass any who let down the pace, New York and Philadelphia Climb. Among the week’s records are those made by New York and Phila- delphia. The latter gained a few notches on Brooklyn in the race be- ‘tween the larger cities while the former has retrived in part its poor start and has now passed Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Boston. Toledo, Ohio, a banner DAILY WORKER town, and renowned for its success in making the DAILY WORKER grow is also forging to the front and is duplicating its fine record made in securing subscrip- tions when the DAILY WORKER was first established and in maintain- ing the circulation intact by securing 100 per cent of the renewals on expiring subs. Prize Banners to Be Given Winning Cities. John Mihelic, of Kansas City, comes across with a good suggestion that the DAILY WORKER give a banner to the city which makes the best record during the campaign. We'll go you one better, John. Two banners will be given, one to the city having a quota less than 100 which makes the best percentage and one to the city of the more than 100 class whose final percentage is the highest when the campaign ends on June 15. With almost two more months to go before the campaign ends it will be a wonder if civil war does not break out between the ambitious ban- ner seekers. Hop to it! The DAILY WORKER will furnish plenty of ammunition in the way of trial sub cards and the premium cards, Standing of the Cities and Result of the Week: Quota Subs Subs Pet. turned turned of quota In upto into raised last week date City Warren, Ohio .. 30 34 68 Superior, Wis. 50 21 33 66 Miles City, Mont. 25 16 17 64 Newark, N.

Stuff Ballot Boxes For McCormick In Dawes’ Home Town (By The Federated Press) EVANSTON, Ill, April 17-— Forty more votes were recorded for Sena- tor Medill’ McCormick, defeated New- berry senator, than were actually cast in the entire precinct for McCormick and Deneen, it was revealed when the official canvass of Evanston, General Dawes’ home town, began after the April 8 primaries. Evanston is also the main garrison town of Dawes’ “minute men of the constitution,” an organization that woutd imitate in spirit the ballot smashing tactics of Dictator Mussolini of Italy. It was shown in the official returns that Precinct 2, 6th ward, had cas 261 votes altogether. Deneen was credited with 98 of these votes in both the unofficial and the official report. But the precinct officers had given McCormick not only the 163 votes to which he was entitled but 188 more that could not be accounted for when the ballots were rechecked, This ballot stuffing in Dawes’ baili- wick is the most serious irregularity in the senatorial race so far discov. ered. The minute men have not yet mobi- lized to defend the constitution against McCormick's friends.
