The lMeutenant sent out r coffee and sandwiches and fed him. Halloran did not look better after is meal and an ambulance surgeon as sent for. He said the man was fering from malnutrition and need- id sound sleep, so O’Brien, with Hal. ran’s consent, arrested him for va- ‘ancy and allowed him to sleep in ine of the cells. A new volley of letters from big |Pxpayers poured into. the editorial ge of the dailies complaining that @ snow shoyelers are too lazy to do jpore than two days’ work in one hile several of the slaves fainted in @ street from sheer exhaustion. After combing the city, all since jorbes informed the world that Gary id Mitchell and Schwab made their illions by shoveling twice as much iow as they were paid for, the in. stigators have been able to add ly one conspicuous case to the list successfuls, that of young Vander. lt, whose father before him had also t the example of shoveling twice much snow as he was paid for. oung Workers League Issues Slogan: “Into the Large Factories!” NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—The New rk district of the Y.

Shirt Boss Moves to Jersey To Escape Union (Special to The Dally Worker) NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—One of the largest shirt manufacturers, unwilling to have the Shirtmakers’ Union “in- terfere” with his business, closed shop here in New York and moved his en tire plant to the city of Paterson. There he hopes to escape the “tyr- anny” of the union. But he will find the Paterson work- ers who have been aroused to mili- tancy by the splendid strike of the Paterson silk workers, unwilling tc act in the capacity of scabs. In fact, those who havé answered the call of “Help Wahted” are already respond- ing to the call of the Shirtmakers’ Un- ion which has sent a organizer into Paterson. The Paterson section of the Y. W. L. that has shown how Communists should participate in a strike, by their heroic and splendid work in. connec- tion with the recently terminated Pat- erson Silk Workers’ General Strike. can be depended upon to render every possible assistance to the union in or- ganizing the workers and make it hot for the shirt manufacturer. ment that the manufacturer will re ceive in Paterson will be a warnin; to all the manufacturers that the workers of the state of New Jersey are growing more militant. and will stop the epidemic of manufacturers moving their plants from New York to the various towns of New Jersey to s in every part of the United States,|escape the union, The treat- “Nationalizing” the Child.

The return to work of one group of workers be- Ing. offset by the walkout of another, while a third union soon will an- nounce the result of a strike vote recently taken. Weavers at the Potomoska mill yesterday voted to return to their looms today, and the loom fixers of the same concern were ordered by union officials to resume work. The number of men affected is 300. About seventy weavers and loom fixers of the Devons Mills, Inc., the Goodyear and Fisk Rubber com. pany’s plant atill remained out. ‘Twenty-two’ weavere In the night shift at the Butler mill walked out last night, declaring that the 10 per cent wage cut In addition to pre- vious wage adjustments will amount to a reduction of between $5 and $7 a week, RED REVEL IS DRAWING NEAR: GET YOUR MASK Language Federations to Pack the Hall " Tho the Red Revel is more than a month) in the future yet it is surpris- ing to those who have never attended a Red Revel-in,Chicago to learn the interest’ that’ this, event is exciting. Métiy’ of the girls are picking out de- signs for *sdstumes and according to Barney Mass: of the Young Workers League that organization js almost as interested in getting its members ready for the Red Revel as it is in dis- tributing circulars on child labor at the factory gates, Federations Preparing. From what the committes on pub- icity understands, the language fed- erations are going to show up in full Strength. At least as many members will be present at the Red Revel as Participated in our last general mem- bership meeting. The hall is con- venient and can be reached by street car or elevated. Taxis can be se. cured of course, but should be used only in emergency cases, such as when the merry-maker misses the last car. In inducing party members to come to the Red Revel the matter of duty will not be stressed as that is con sidered unnecessary. The fact that the net proceeds will’ be devoted tc strengthening our party here in Chi- cago will be a powerful incentive in inducing every member to work his (her) head off.

Y., Jan. 25.—The students and instructors at Brook- wood Labor College, Katonah, New York, have given up eating deserts for three weeks and are sending the money thus saved by the college commissary to the secretary-treas- urer of District No. 17 of the United Mine Workers of America in Charleston, West Virginia. Twenty thousand persons, evicted union members and their families, are liv- ing in tents and tean-to’s on the windswept hills of West Virginia toda ‘The union is providing them with shelter and rations enough for a bare existence. The contribution of the Labor College is in response to an urgent appeal for clothing. In addition to money, two large boxes of clothing were dispatched today. Some students will go with- out needed overcoats, sweaters, or under-clothing to help the West Vir- ginia miners. The initiative in this movement was taken by miners Page Five NONSENSE OF THE POWERS AMUSING TO THE CHINESE Funny Demands Made in Recognition Parley (By Rosta News Agency.) PEKING, Jan, 25.—Attention is be ing directed in official and public Chin- ese circles to the juridical nonsense contained in the last note of the pow- ers, the particular point which has thus come under attention being as to |how, if the present Chinese govern- ment is not organized (“de facto” rec- | ognition being certainly tantamount to |non-recognition of a government), can |the provisional chief executive cab- inet be made responsible for treaties jand agreements concluded by forma) governments? Must Pledge Future Governments. A strict observance of international law would require that the question {stand as follows: either the present |government is one formally recog- |nized, in which case all demands in- |volving formal engagements‘ can be made to it; or it is not a recognized government, in which latter case the powers should wait for a formal gov. ernment to which to address their claims, | Another curious point in the case is {the utterly incomprehensfble demand put to a'government to guarantee the good behavior of each and every fu- ture government that would succeed it, the failure to give this pledge to be followed by a refusal of formal recog- nition. This point, which juridically is also nonsensical, appears to have caused at least as much amusement as be- wilderment, revealing a hopeless: want of logical reasoning and, consequently, of any really earnest desire on the part of the authors of the note to have any one actually understand the “un- derstanding” proposed by them. They Ask Too Much. One fact, however, stands out in all this pitiful affair, and that is that the powers have chosen—with utmost profit to themselves—to assume a pos- ition in which, while not recognizing the Chinese government themselves, they demand from this government that it recognize all the obligations with regard to the powers. In reference to the much talked of note of the powers, it is being pointed out in Chinese diplomatic quarters that if the powers really tobdk serious- ly what they write to China in their own communications, the logical con sequence of their statement of de fac- to recognition of the Chinese govern. ment ought to bé the severance of diplomatic and consular relations with the present administration. e child labor amend- ‘ment on the grounds that such a measure ‘would “nationalize the child—thus introducing ‘the immoral practices of Russia.” The gentleman further fears that the passage of the amendment would release a horde of federal agents who would “question the right of every parent to have his child work, regu- late the hours that the child shall work or the conditions. of his labor.” And (saddest thot of all for millions of proletarian parents!) . “Congres: could even prevent a father from or. dering his boy to pick strawberries for his breakfast”!

Now, the in- come from the agricultural tax forms but one-third of the revenue estimates. Moreover, not only has. the budget for the financial year 1924-25 been drawn up without a deficit, but the estimates even provide for some surplus funds.

So one day I brought the DAILY WORKER to school and gave it to my teacher and asked her if it was a good paper. She said it was a bad paper be- cause it was against the govern- ment. So I asked her why she thought this government was so good. She said: “If you want to be a good citizen, you must be- lieve in this government.” So I said: “I agree with the viewpoint of this paper because it is a true one and because it represents the workers.” Then I asked her if she knew what Com- Then I said: “Isn’t it better fer the worker to control this country than the capitalists? The great mass of the people are workers; they do all the work and make everything in this country!” Then she said: “Where do you learn such horrid ideas? Who teaches them to you?” I knew she was getting sore, so I just answered that I learned these ideas by reading and think- ing, and that I believed in them because they were true. Then she looked at me kind of surprised for a while, and told me to go to my seat and that’s all.
