Page Four CIRCUS ANIMALS PROTEST BEING PRESENT AT MORGAN MAN’S WILD (Special to the FEASTING ON N. Y. HOTEL ROOF Daily Worker.) NEW YORK CITY, April 28.—A bacchanalian feast, rivalling anything of the kind ever attempted in the war-profiteering, pre- prohibition days, was staged here recently not far from Broad- way on the roof of one of New York’s largest hotels. It cost Matthew K. Brush, of the American International Corporation, a Morgan organization established to finance foreign trade efforts, just $25,000 to pro- duce this scene of revelry, ‘ar- ranged after the manner of a circus “mess.” But instead of hungry, hard-working circus performers there sat down to the dinner such internationally notor- ious parasites and their camp follow- ers as James A. Stillman, known for his divorce court antics; Jesse Livre-| more, R. J. Reynolds, tobacco king; the Ringling brothers, Charles and John; Jeremiah Dahl, whose name re- cently was connected with that of Louise Lawson, murdered Texas girl, an auction of whose effects had closed a few hours before at a nearby shop; Pierre Rockefeller, Police Commis- sioner Enright, no end of celebrites. A huge tent had been pitched on | the hotel roof. Beneath its flapping | canvass, stretched long tables in ban- quet array. At one end, on a raised dias, play- | ed a Czecho-Slovakian orchestra of | 38 pieces, never before heard in this | country. At the other end, caged lions and | beasts brought from the Ringling | Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Cir- cus at the “Garden” roared disap- proval of their unaccustomed sur- roundings. Two pigmy elephants had been brought with some difficulty to the roof to lend their atmosphere to the occasion. The choice of freaks from the real circus side show were housed in a separate tent and sign with the ban- quet tent reading: “To the queer people.” Dancing girls performed. The world famous trapeze artist from the “Greatest Show on Earth” whirled 98 times on a specially constructed ap- Paratus at about $40 a whirl. Coolidge Prosperity Cream. ST. LOUIS, April 28.—Use of cocoa-| nut oil in milk to give it the appear- ance of cream is reported practiced at several points in southern Illinois to the federal food and drug depart- ment, according to E, R. Smith, chief, St. Louis office. A test made of one sample of “cream” showed that 85 per cent of the solids was cocoanut oil. ous : ' British Salvation Army Resorts To Novel ° Cash Collecting Stunt Special to The Dally Worke: LONDON, “April -38—"Whab the Daily Herald describes as a remark- able circular was sent out here from the International Headquarters of the Salvation Army. It was an appeal for funds and every device known to the chronic panhandler was used to in- duce those appealed to, to furnish money in generous sums. The heavy contributions are expected from the eapitalists so the Communist bogey was dressed up in his May Day clothes and trotted out to scaré the coupon clippers. The Salvation Army was représent- ed as the only organization that could beard this lion in his den, and the circular boastingly referred to several Communist scalps now hanging in the wigwam of the Salvation Army head- quarters in London. “Quite a few of their most clever orators were con- verted to Christ,” thru the exhorta- tions of the religious freaks who sing their hymns and chant the praises of Jesus while rattling their tin pans to the accompaniment of coin collecting. It is not necessary to say that Jesus never gets a shilling of it. In soliciting the pounds of the rich the Salvationists say, “If we give up the extremists would have a clear field, for most of their propaganda is carried on at street meetings.” A Daily Herald reporter tried to run down the “Communists who were converted to the Salvation Army” and the nearest he could get to even a clue was one “Fred” who the Salva- tionists said “was among the scores of hardened and seasoned sinners who have become smiling children of light and righteousness.” An American labor reporter now in London remarked that there is a close resemblance between the piffle put out by the English Salvationists ana the propaganda of the Republican Na- tional Committee in America, with the difference that the latter displayed more indications of moral turpitude. “Free Mooney And Billings,” St. Louis Tells California (Special to The Daily Worker) ST, LOUIS, Mo., April 28.—The Me- tal Trades Council of this city and vicinity has just passed an important resolution, protesting again that Tom Mooney and Warren K. Billings are held without a shred of justice in the penitentiaries of California. The text of the regolution is as fol- lows: Whereas, Tom Mooney, a member in good standing in the Molders’ Unfon for years, and Warren K. Bil- lings, past President of the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Local Union, No. 216, has been confined in the Penitenti- aries of the State of California for seven years, under a sentence of life imprisonment, sentenced for a crime of which they are universally acknow- ledged as innocent, and Whereas. It is also an established fact, beyond dispute, that Brother Unionists, Mooney and Billings, have been a victim of a conspiracy on the part of the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco, and that the prose- vution, to railroad these Men to the penitentiary because of their Union activities, and Whereas, The Governor of Califor- nia has the power and authority to open the gates of San Quentin, and Folson Prison and restore full uberty to our Unionists, Tom Mooney and W. K. Billings, therefore Be It Resolved, By the Metal Trades Council, representing organized me- tal workers, of St, Louis, in regular meeting assembled April 21, 1924, That we demand the immediate re- lease of Tom Mooney, and Warren K. Billings, and Be It Further Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be: sent to Hon. F. W. Richardson, Governor of State of California. (Signed) E. Ebenhoh, Secretary Chas. Blome, President. Philippine Freedom Before Senate Soon, Robson Declares WASHINGTON, April 28.—Philip- pine independence has not been aband- oned as a Democratic issue, but will be brought. up in congress soon, accord- ing to Senator Robinson, one of its advocates. He says the senate com- mittee has an understanding that it will take action on the measure im- mediately after Manuel Quezon, head of the Philippine senate, arrives here next month and gives his testimony, SUPPORTS Militant Unionism Amalgamation A Labor Party Labor Solidarity Recognition of Soviet Russia In Our Own Home Printing on our own presses THE DAILY WORKER America’s Greatest Labor Daily The biggest and most important job every reader of The DAILY WORKER can do is to OPPOSES x Reactionary Leadership Craft Unionism Capitalist Government Imperialist Wars Dualism and Disunity Make May Day count for the Daily Worker Put your name on the honor roll of those who secure new subscriptions.

Tuesday, April 29, 1924 MORE MILK FOR BABES LAST YEAR AS WAGES ROSE Necessities Purchased, i Not Luxuries (By The Federated Press) More milk for babies appears to be one of the outstanding results of the year of good wages, according to a survey of the consumption of mlk in the country just completed by the U. S. department of agriculture It bears out the experience of tthe Met- ropolitan Life that higher wages are not. spent for luxuries but for neces- . sities which workers’ families have been forced to do without in the past. Result: higher standard of health and lower death rate. Average consumption of milk in 1923 was 53 gallons compared with 50 gallons in 1922 and 49 gallons in 1921, says the department. The average daily consumption in 1923 figures out 1.6 pints per person. The highest percaptia consumption of milk is found on farms which have producing cows. On such farms 1.78 pints per person were consumed in 1923. In city homes the percaptia daily consumption falls to 0.87 pints while on the farms without producing cows the average person consumes only 0.775 pints. The survey shows that approxim- ately one-eighth of the country’s total production of milk is necessary to produce cream for the 1,000,000,000 pounds of coffee consumed annually in this country. About 2,000,000 cows are necessary to produce this coffee pPerquisite. But they don’t help the babies. German Industrial Exhibit In Russia.
