‘Page Four OWENS SPEAKS OF PROBLEMS OF NEGRO WORKERS Outlines the Position of Workers Party (Continued from page 1) WORKER from the newsies. Peo- ple on their to the meeting were greeted by others coming in the op-| posite direction reading and talking about the Communist daily. Swabeck Opens Meeting. ‘Arne Swabeck, the party, called the meeting to or- | der. Comrade Swabeck briefly intro- wuced to the crowd the chairman of the meeting, William F. Dunne, Com- mnunist candidate for governor of Illi- pois, who has recently returned from the sessions of the Fifth Congress of the Third International at Moscow, to Which he was a delegate. Comrade Dunne made a short intro- | Buctory speech striking the key-note of the afternoon’s rally. Then came musical. selections by the Freiheit singing sociaty. FS Owens Speaks On Negro Question. Gordon Owens, Negro candidate for fongress in the first congressional district in a short speech outlined the arty program on the Negro question, tre told the Negro workers present that the real cause for race discrim- {nation is economic; that the real issue is a class issue and not a race issue. He said that the Workers Party is the only political party that stands for the recognition of the Ne- gro race on an absolute equal footing with all emancipated workers of the ‘ (world. ‘ Stress Need to Read. The necessity of supporting the DAILY WORKER, the Workers’ Monthly, and other literature of the party was stressed by Comrade Dunne who urged all militant workers to take active part in the drive for sub- scriptions for the DAILY WORKER, to be carried thru during the fall and winter. Next on the program was the or- ichestra of the Young Workers’ “League which rendered revolutionary selections in which the audience joined. Owens Given Ovation. ‘A tremendous ovation greeted the “BAppearance on the platform of Gordon Owens, a colored comrade, who is running for congressman from the first congrosisonal district. For fully five iainntes after Owens had heen announced, the cheers and shouts of am enthusiastic audience prevented him from speaking. Comrade Owens spoke of the twelve million Negroes in the United States, who present to revolutionists a prob- lem that is complex in the extreme. “The great majority of the Negroes are proletarians, but thru the insidi- ous influence of the-schools, the press, and false leaders, both black and white, they have been prevented from becoming class-conscious,” said Owens. “Even some of their most in- fluential leaders teach them to look on the Negro problem as a race prob- lem, rather than as the class prob- lem that it really is. “Today all this is changing. The Negroes are leaving the capitalist parties by the hundreds and coming into the Communist ranks. They are beginning to understand that their real enemy is the capitalist, both the black and the white capitalist, and that their real task is the overthrow- ing of the capitalist system with its law of hunger, war and death.” A thunderous burst of applause greeted the announcement that Rob- ert Minor, one of the party's best- known cartoonists, writers and speak- ers, was to address the rally.

Romance Given Cold Shoulder. In gathering the facts on which this |series is based the DAILY WORKER |disregarded everything except what could be proved before a working class court, and what deals with his relations to the organized coal miners of Illinois. Farrington’s life is inter- esting in many ways, but let a DeMau- |Passant or a Dumas weave the gar- land of romance around those inci- dent which have to do with his more or less unconventional relations with the opposite sex. We do not care whether Farrington in this connection played the role of a Tom Jones or a Herman Pupick. We are not writing a@ new moral code, but because Far- rington has betrayed the miners of Illinois to whom he pledged his loyal- ty, we-propose to place him in the pillory and bring forward every shred of evidence at our disposal, that will make the charges stick. The material gathered for the pur- pose of writing these articles was se- cured thru the aid of bona fide mem- bers of the Illinois Mine Workers’ Union. Gas Masks Wanted. Accustomed as we are to discover new evidence of perfidy on the part of the labor misleaders of America, yet the writer cannot adequately ex- press his amazement at the panorama of crookedness that was revealed in the documents concerning the unholy work engaged in by Frank Farring- ton while paid to function in behalf of the Illinois mine workers. And the remarkable part of the story is that Farrington was able to get away with it. Others who had played the game on a large scale were caught with the goods, but the Parks, Brindells and Murphys allowed their greed to get the better of their judg- ment. Evidently Farrington was wis- er than his prototypes in treachery to the workers. He Counts the Votes. How Farrington succeeds in getting elected has always been a mystery to the uninitiated, but these articles will help to clear up that matter. The coal operators are for him one hun- dred per cent and this gives Farring- ton a powerful club to use against those who would like to vote against him. He also counts the votes which is a factor that should not be sneezed at, as any labor leader could testify to. In fact, during his campaign for elec- tion he often makes the statement: “I don't give a God damn whether FAMOUS MOVIE FILM, “POLIKUSHKA,” WILL RETURN 10 CHICAGO The famous story, “Polikushka,” by the immortal writer, L.

And why not? There are no Frank Farringtons under the red flag of the Soviet Republic. Some Juicy Morsels. In making the investigation of the career of Frank Farrington in the miners’ union, the DAILY WORKER ran into some juicy morsels relating to the activities of John L. Lewis which will look just as well all by themselves when the opportune time | comes. Suffice it to say that it is not} surprising that labor fakers with al “past” should not feel very kindly | toward the DAILY WORKER. We have followed Farrington’ ad career since he first went down a{ mine at Streator, Ill, up to the pres- ent day. He has been going steadily down ever since in the estimation of the honest coal diggers of this state, but his relations with the banking business show that otherwise the business of being a labor leader does not pay so badly. Few coal diggers have an.orange grove in Alabama, or THE DAILY WORKER DEMAND CROWE PUSH CHARGE IN LYNCHING CASE Demand Will Be Made on State’s Attorney Attorneys for the family of William Bell, the Negro lynched |by a mob at Maxwell and 14th Streets, last week, will visit state’s attorney Crowe today Twice every week—this column uncovers to your view the motive power behind the DAILY WORKER. Here for the interest and inspiration of every reader—and especially the DAILY WORKER agents and committees—are tried and proven sugges- tions and accomplishments to drive the DAILY WORKER to further conquests. Here is POWER—the power of brain and effort of men and women of the working class who not only believe—but ACT! Have You Ever Heard of Hanna? F you haven't, you had better learn about it—it is. some place In Wyoming. It.is also the stamping ground of A BRICKLAYER—and what a bricklayer! This town In the wilds of Wyoming is the home of Fred Williams, branch agent for the DAILY WORKER in the only branch in Hanna, Wyo. A week ago Comrade Williams was elected to replace another agent and demand a speedy indict- ment of the two white men identified as participants in the attack on Bell. These two men, Otto Epstein and Irving Rockowitz, were held to the grand jury by the coro- ner’s jury on charges of mur- der after an inquest. Demand Immediate Indictments, “We are going to insist on indict- can afford two homes in widely sep- arated cities.” Farrington has violated the consti-! tution of the miners’ union whenever he felt like doing so, and whenever it was to his advantage to do so. This charge will be proven by docu- mentary evidence. ‘e will place the criminal in the pale testify against himself. Wizard at Figures. Tho not a literary man, Farrington is quite handy with the pencil, par- ticularly when it comes to putting in a bill for expenses. Like the vil- lian in Victor Hugo's “Toilers of the Sea,” whose honesty was almost pain- ful until he was favored with a big opportunity, the “villian” of this series made his debut in union poli- tics by attacking a sub-district’ presi- dent for charging up one dollar a day for a hotel bill. We will show as we go, along that Farrington not alone was generous in his estimation of his own traveling expenses but was equal- ly generous in allowing the union to pay the bill for the fare of his fair companions, when he felt that mem. bers of the opposite sex were indis- pensable to the comforts of hjs jour- ney. This predeliction for female companionship is set down here to prove a point and not to make a point against Farrington’s orientation away from Anthony Comstock, for whom we have no particular love. Watery-Eyed John. The lachrymal squirt can, John L. Walker, shares honors with Farring ap for a few brief paragraphs during his series. In this article we merely announce the goods. We will show how “Brother” Far- rington went to bat for a notorious judge in the Collinsville district. During the same period the presi- dent of the Illinois Miners’ Union en- dorsed Col. Frank L. Smith, of Dwight. IlL, for governor on the democratic ticket. What he said about the Small forces in the letter of endorsement makes interesting reading today. We have a copy of the letter. A Crooked Trail. Farrington’s trail from the time he éntered the coal mine at Streator, un- til he turned over the political ma- hinery of his office to the crook, Len Small, will be gone into. The story of his conduct during the “outlaw strike” of 1919 makes nasty reading. So does the correspondence between himself and the other notorious labor crook, John L, Lewis, over the Lester mine, of Williamson county ill-fame. If the miners of Illinois who are cursed with the leadership of this Napoleon of labor fakers do not take steps to replace him with a man who will use his office as it should be used, to direct the never-ending strug: gle of the miners against the bosses, it will not be the fault of the DAILY WORKER. The next aritcle of this series will deal with the early days of Farring ton’s career in the miners’ union, when he was preparing for the role which he has since played, with so much damage to the interests of the miners, WORKERS PARTY LOCAL CHICAGO ACT!

We see no reason why a speedy indictment should not be issued by the grand jury in the case of the brut- al murder of Bell.” Cab Driver Disappears. Adams told the DAILY WORKER that the lives of Negroes in the city of Chicago must be protected. “The fact that Jack Pasch, after being called as a witness, did not show up, and that “Sodie” Ginsberg, the cab driver, has been missing since the lynching, points the finger of suspicion strongly in their direc- tion,” Adams told the DAILY WORK- ER. Mrs. Goldblatt, mother of Betty Goldblatt, one of the girls who gave the alarm which caused the lynching of Bell, and later admitted a white man in a Ford car had first approach- ed her, told the DAILY WORKER about her daughter. * Never Had Any Trouble. “Betty is only eighteen old,” said Mrs. Goldblatt. “She has had the burden of supporting the ‘amily, as my husband has been out of work for five months. I lave a family of five, and my young- 9st daughter is just recovering from an attack of pneumonia. I am sorry the whole thing occurred,, “T have lived in this section for 15 years, and have had no trouble of any kind with the Negroes. “I am the only white family living in this house (1071 Maxwell street) and have had no trouble.” Leaves Wife and Baby. Bell, the murdered man, who leaves a wife and baby without support, had a splendid reputation among the Ne- groes of the neighborhood, and the po- lice declare the mob lynched the wrong man. According to prominent Negro shop keepers in the neighborhood, of the lynching, the wine shop where Ep- stein worked is a notorious bootleg joint. They charge that the police in the Maxwell street police station, only a block away, have never raided the place altho they are well aware of the law-breaking activities going on. Many of the Negroes complain that the police in this district greatly exceed their authority in their treat- ment of the Negroes. “ft was going home the very eve- ning the lynching occurred, Wednes- day at five o'clock,” a young Negro who at{ends the Wendell Phillips High school, said to the DAILY WORKER. “I was near the scene where the murder of Bell occurred, when a policeman called out to me, ‘Hey there Nigger, have you got any dice in your pocket? You better look out.’” This lad who works in a shop near the Maxwell street police sta- tion, charged that police often make insulting remarks to men and women of his race who are peacefully walk- ing the streets, He declared that there used to be Negro policemen in the Maxwell street station, but that the white police had “Succeeded in yunning them out.” Epstein did not testify at the cor- oner’s inquest. He refused to stand up and take his coat off to be iden- tifled by an eye-wtness. Samuel Davis, who heard the evi- dence, refused to permit the attorney for Irving Rockowitz to heckle the Negro witnesses. “This is not a trial but an inquest,” Davis declared, “I have been under the impression that you were Ep- stein’s lawyer and I refuse to permit your cross questioning to go any fur. ther.” Police Search Only Negroes, Testimony of Maxwell street police officers who answered Epstein’s re- port that there was trouble on the streets Wednesday night, brot out the fact that the itely went to the Negro i$ and restau- rants and started indiscriminate searching, while Bell was lying dead on the street. Ji I, Foley testified he went out at 11:20 p. m, and search- ed about twenty Negroes in a pool- room on Miller street. “I found no guns or knives on any of them,” ag huaahoww i deri years unable to serve. He had no sub blanks, not even information on how to procede. But he had the energy and the perseverance of the in- stinctive, born BRICKLAYER and the desire to build the labor move- ment by building the paper best serving labor’s interest. So he took sample copies of the DAILY WORKER and “went out to get ’em.” His first letter to us brought a money order for. $23.50 for five 6-months and one 1-year sub, AND HE WANTED INFORMATION ON HOW TO PROCEDE about his work! He also wanted some sub blanks. Within a few days and before he could have received his supplies (he needed no information on how to get subs) we received another letter from Comrade Williams enclosing $26.00 worth of subs including two for 1 year and four for 6 months. And just as we were writing this, a third letter arrived with three more yearly subs and one for 6 months. For good measure he includes two yearly subscriptions for the organ of the little fighting Johnny Reds “The Young Comrade.” In ONE WEEK and himself he has secured $71.00 worth of “subs” for the DAILY WORKER—six for 1 year and ten for 6 months! You will notice he has not sent 4 single “sub” under six months. Here’s a member of the D. W. B. U. (DAILY WORKER Bricklayers’ Union) to boast about. And we are doing it whole-heartedly. We are also asking Comrade Fred Williams to give our other DAILY WORKER agents advice on HOW TO PROCEDE! We want him to tell our bricklayers “How in Hanna” he does it! . * * e BRICKLAYERS IN THE D.

When the recommendation of Superintendent McAndrew _re- quiring principals to meet with teachers goes thru it will also mean that notices of meetings cannot be circulated to the teachers by the Teachers’ Fed- eration, or any other body, Miss Haley made clear to the meet- ing. McAndrew at “Big Biz” Dinner. It will mean that only notices. o{ the superintendent sent thru the prin- cipals can be brought before the teachers in the schools. Miss Haley charged that the super- intendent’s speech at the chamber of commerce dinner at the LaSalle Hote! last week, where sat the president and four members of the board of ed- ucation and the mayor in the person of his representative, Francis X. Busch, shifted the fight on the teach: ers’ councils from the teachers on’ te Ella Flagg Young. “And we are perfectly willing tc leave the fight where he has put it,” she added. Lauds Ella Flagg Young. “Ella Flagg Young stands befort this country today as an educator McAndrew has not yet made his repu- tation as an educator. In the words of a certain distinguished gentleman, ‘An irritator is not an educator.’” This remark brought applause from the teachers that lasted for several min utes. “Mr. McAndrew has shifted the issue from the teachers’ shoulders ta oné able to bear it tho in her grave. “And we'll take this Ella Flagg Young theory of education to the club women who asked us for $10 for a memorial for Mrs. Young and we will say to them: ‘Do they want brass, do they want marble, or do they want something that is going to live.’ “Ella Flagg Young said: ‘The voice of authority or position not only must not dominate the councils, but must not be heard.’ Carry Fight to Legislature. “When we go before the legislature in Springfield, ‘we will say to those gentlemen: ‘Do you want to go back to a system of education that was stamped a failure by that great edu- cator, Ella Flagg Young, or are you going to say she was not fit... The fight is no longer McAndrew against the teachers, it is now McAndrew and the board and the business interests dominating the board, against Ella Flagg Young.” Miss Haley then went into a detail ed explanation of the real cause of the fight on the teachers. The order has gone out to cut down public edu- cation becguse it is costing too much. There is a standing deficit and the board of education is bankrupt. “This is a flerce attack upon you. If they break your resistance power it will be easier to break the resistance power of all the teachers in the United States.. There is only one way to meet this issue and this it to get the money from those who are keeping it from the board of education, the wealthy tax dodgers. “Some interesting facts will come out in this fight before we are thru. We will expose certain gentlemen who are being paid large salaries just to protect the interests of these rich tax dodgers. That is the reason why we want this fight to be brought to a showdown now and the board is put- ting it off until after the election.” Another mass meeting was authoriz- ed for next week, full particulars to time and place to be given in notice to the teachers later.
