4 i oe Page Four HOTEL BOSSES SPEED WORKERS IN DIRTY HELLS Morrison Says Meat and Eggs Taboo By PASQUALE RUSSO. It was the policy of the hotel own- ers in the days when King John Bar- _-Meycorn was on the throne to furnish their employes with a fairly good brand of whisky, wines and beer. They aimed to keep the cooks and other employes under the influence of liquor in order that they might the more easily be exploited. The policy worked well. The slaves were willing to work seven days a week, twelve and sixteen hours a day, so long as there was something obtain- able to drink. Since the passing. of the Barleycorn regime the policy has changed and the hotel owners now do not furnish the employes with liquors. In some few cases nearbeer is fur- nished, With the coming of the eighteenth constitutional amendment the hotel owners were compelled to discontinue the dole of liquors for the employes. In one sense this was a very beneficial thing. The slaves have now clear minds and it is possible to appeal to the reason of those employed in the culinary industry. Big Profits to Hotel Owners. The workers in the past have pro- duced an immense amount of wealth, most of which has passed into the hands of the barons of the food trust. It was the daily cry of the food barons that they were losing money and for that reason were compelled to pay Door wages. We now know this to be a flagrant misrepresentation. The Palmer House management is now building a new hotel that will cost forty million dol- lars when completed. The La Salle is planning a larger hotel that will cost fifty millions, and the Morrison is buffding an annex that will come to five millions in money. While these various hotel owners are spending millions of dollars build- ing new hotes their slaves are suf- fering a hellish life. The conditions surrounding them are unbearable; they work in unsanitary kitchens where the air is impure. Such con- ditions are not confined to the Hotel La Salle, but prevail in all the other leading hotels, including the Morri- son. It is quite generally supposed that the Morrison is a union house. This is far from the truth. In fact the place is a sweatshop. The motto of the management is “Speed, speed and more speed.” Which is enforced in order to accumulate more millions for Harry C. Moir. In our investigations we find: The Kitchen. The main kitchen is located in the basement, and here the cooks work in a perfect living hell. The ventila- tion is poor and the heat intense, somewhat similar to that of the steel plant. There are some small, inade- quate electric fans, but are so few in number as to be of no value. Nor are there shower baths provided for re- Soviet Russia Protests White Guards in (Continued from page 1) some three or four hundred Russian white guards having adopted Chinese citizenship; that there has been no en- listment of white guards into the Chinese army at Shanghai; that meas- ures are being undertaken for liqui- dating military action, and that the white guards will be disbanded as soon as the general situation has been settled; and that—lastly—since the above-mentioned white guardist de- tachment bears no party or ‘political character its existence does not con- stitute any violation of the Russo- Chinese agreement. Pekin Official Lied. I feel bound, to my regret, to bring to your notice an actually inexact statement to be found in the note, as well as the incorrect conclusions ar- rived at in it that the presence of a white detachment in the Chinese army is not in contradiction with the Russo-Chinese agreement. 1, On the strength of absolutely exact information, I must once more confirm that the white guardist de- tachment in question numbers over one thousand, and that, having orig- inally been recruited in Manchuria, it was filled up with white guards at Shanghai. Not Chinese Citizens. 2. Your reference that the white guards in the Chinese army are Chi- nese citizens seems to be based on @ misunderstanding or an inadequate information. Indeed, as is probably known to you the adoption of Chi- nese citizenship is ruled by the law of 1912, supplemented by special an- notations in 1914. The law provides for special con- ditions for passing into Chinese citi- zenship. To be a naturalized Chi- nese citizen, it is necessary to have lved in Chin territory during a period of five years; to possess property or some kind of knowledge giving the possibility of earning in- dependent livelihood, _ However, what is of particular im- re renrmmsntitin so PL Important Meeting of Russian Branch to be Held Thursday An important meeting of the Russ- fan branch W.

They are forced by necessity to tofl under such unbearable condi- tions in order to support their fami- lies, The walls of the kitchen are cov- ered with signs. Of the many inter- esting ones there is one referring to speed. It reads, WAITERS . are held responsible for quick and efficient service. Should you have to wait an unreasonable time either at the bar or kitchen, do not hesi- tate to report to my office the em- ployes causing the delay—H. C. Moir, President. The effect of this sign is that every- ‘body must work at full speed. When the waiters give their orders to the cook they inSist on quick service. In doing so they create a disturbance with hellish noises, which causes ani- mosity among the cooks and waiters, even resulting in frequent fights. How- ever, this is quite in line with the pol- icy of the hotel owners. They feel that they reap some advantage so long as the employes contend one with an- other. Another sign has reference to smok- ing as follows: IMPORTANT, Any employe caught smoking will be fined five dollars, and for the second offense will be discharged. One dollar reward to any employe reporting another for-smoking. The sign serves one purpose, and that is to keep the employes at war, one with another. The slaves at the Morrison Hotel work hard, but receive for their efforts but a few crumbs while their masters are accumulating millions of dollars. Also, the employes are only allowed certain things for their meals. The following is a letter typewritten on Morrison Hotel stationery: Mr. Purdy, Steward, Grill Room. Dear Sir—Don'’t give the busboys or waitresses meat and eggs for breakfast. They are allowed éither meat or eggs, but not both. It has been called to my attention that they are getting ham, bacon and eggs for breakfast. So please see that this matter is taken care of. EIGEN, Maitre d’Hotel. Not only are the conditions bad at the Morrison, but in other hotels as well. To remedy this, you workers must wake up and organize. Today is the day of unity. In unity there is power. You have the power to abolish these barbaric conditions and to make the food industry a decent vocation for the workers. portance, and a point to which I beg to invite your main atteftion, is that, according to article IV of the law of 1912, “foreigners or those who have no citizenship acquire the right of Chinese citizenship with the permission of the ministry of the interior.” Now, the local authorities must re- fer the applications for Chinese citi- zenship to the ministry of interior, while according to article 6 of the same law of 1912, “the granting of citizenship becomes valid gn and from the date of publication in the official gazette,” Names Not in Official Gazette. Granting that, by their nature and character, the white guards in ques- tion satisfy the condiitons provided for by the Chinese laws on natural- ization—which, of course, would bea matter for the government of the Republic of China alone to decide— I may yet be permitted to draw your attention to the fact that, neverthe- less, the said white guards cannot be regarded as Chinese citizens for. purely formal reasons, namely—be- cause they have not been confirmed as such latter by the ministry of in- terior, nor have their names been published in the official gazette—an absolute necessary condition of formal procedure to become Chinese citizens. As documentary evidence of the non-existence of such an altogether unnecessary formal moment, there can serve the. official gazette, wherein, in the lists of persons hav- ing passed into Chinese citizenship, there are not to be found the names of those thousand odd white guards whom you have erroneously counted among the Chinese citizens, Generals Usurp Power. Thus, the white guards who are in the Chinese army, cannot, on the exact and formal basis of the Chin- ese law, be copsidered as Chinese citizens, Moreover, in the present case, there is @ very grave abuse of / THE DAILY WORKER =. a a | DEMANDS U.

In fact, many, if not most, of the white guards in question have been sup- plied by these generals with certi- ficates of Chinese — citizenship, whereas the procedure prescribed by the law was not followed in regard to them, Broke Russo-Chinese Pact. I trust that the competent author- ities will take the necessary steps to investigate and, further, to start le- Sal prosecution against those gen- erals who while they illegally sup- plied Russian white guards with cer- tificates of Chinese citizenship, pur- sued the injudictous course of non- fulfilment of obligations taken upon itself by the Chinese government by virtue of the agreement concluded between the Republic of China and the Union of Soviet Socialist Repub- lies on May 31, 1924. 3.. However, even if the white guards who are now to be found in the Chinese army did adopt the Chin- ese citizenship in full accordance with the laws of the Republic of China, the Chinese government could not thereby be freed from its obligation to discontinue the serv- ices of the whites in the Chin army.

The Barr bill to create a state po- lice force of 750. men, was passed without the opposition of the labor lobbyists. The Barr bill, backed by Governor Small, had the active sup- port of the manufaeturers’ association. The bill to limit the working day of Illinois women toyeight hours has been practically killed, and has no chance of passage. The bill prohibiting the courts from issuing injunctions in la- bor disputes was.defeated. Small had promised to pasg this bill, in return for the labor unfon officials’ support of him in the election, but most of the republican senators controlled by Small voted againgt the bill.

Whatever the citizenship adopted by a subject of the former Russian em- pire, he will never cease to be a sub- ject of the former Russian empire. In other words, one physical person or another having been a subject of the former Russian empire is a fact hav- ing existed in the past, and whatever the status of such a person at the present time, a“fact which existed eight years ago gannot be altered by the new judicial gatus of that person. Consequently, adopting the right of citizenship of the Republic of China, a white guard cannot thereby abolish the fact that he had formerly been a subject of the Russian empire. And it was precisely that criterion of one’s having beef in the past a sub- ject of the Russidn empire that both parties were guided by when they agreed about the discontinuance of the services of the above-mentioned category of persons in the Chinese army, i Cannot Twist A\ ment, It is but natural that by altering “post-factum,” that is after the signa- ture of the agregment, the status of the Russian white guards, the gov- ernment of the Republic of China can- not free itself from the obligations it took upon itself. In any case, the Chinese government cannot be ex- empted from a loyal execution of the agreement of May 31, 1924, by the fact that generals under whose command is the mentioned detachment of Rus- sian whites, are trying to avoid the execution of this agreement by turn- ing either the law (in fraudem legis) or the agreement itself, - 4.

Among the speakers were J. Louis Engdahl, editor of the DAILY WORK- ER; Dan W. Stevens, Communist. can- didate for mayor in today’s municipal elections; John Gabriel Soltis, Emil E. Holmes, of the World War Veterans, and recent candidate of the Minnesota farmer-labor party for lieutenant goy- ernor, with State Senator S. A. Stock- well acting as chairman. Resolutions were adopted as follows: “WHEREAS, Sacco and Vanzetti have been convicted of murder in the first degree’ by a biased jury under the instructions of a prejudiced judge on insufficient and conflicting evi- dence in the state of Massachusetts, imprisoned more than five years, and, “WHEREAS, All unprejudiced ob- servers and investigators of the trial and the enlightened public opinion and press of the United States are agreed that this case constitutes a gross miscarriage of justice and a travesty upon American judicial pro- cesses, and, “WREREAS, All efforts of the de- fense to secure a new trial and the opportunity to present uncontrovert- ible new evidence of their innocence have been denied by their first trial judge, Thayer, a “THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that we, citizens in mass meeting as- sembled in the city hall of Minnea- polis, May 10, 1925, join in the world wide protest against this terrible in- justice and demand a speedy new trial for these. victims of race prejudice and class hatred, and, “BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of these resolutions be sent to the governor, the supreme court and congressmen of Massachu- setts and to the press.” One of the local capitalist: sheets, the Minneapolis Journal, opened a campaign to prevent the meeting from being held in the Court House Audi- torilum.

NEW YORK, May 11.—The class in the principles and tactics of the Third International, which was inter- rupted for several weeks, will’ be re- sumed Tuesday, May 12, at 1347 Boston road. If you are interested in keeping up this class, please attend these lectures, Chinese Army guardist detachment is a sine qua non condition of the liquidation of war in Soochow and Shanghai, just as it is difficult for me to argue that the white guardist detachment is neces- sary for, settling the general situation. White Guards Must Go. However, even if the Chinese army did badly want a white detachment tq restore order (which is open.to strong doubt), I would still object in the most categorical manner against such a justification of. the presence in the Chinese army of a detachment of white guards, In view of the foregoing, I have to protest in the most energetic manner: —first, against the attempt of Chinese military chiefs to ‘pretend that a white guardist detachment consists of Chinese citizens, which is in contra- diction with the facts and the law; secondly, against an attempt to escape the execution of an obligation without the slightest good reason; and, thirdly, I must insist most resolutely on the immediate liquidation of the white guardist detachment in ques: tion, and I would much appreciate I were favored with a reply as to the lapse of time during which the said detachment will be liquidated. Future Agreements Doubtful. At the same time, I may be permit- ted to-invite the most serious atten- tion to such an attitude in regard to avery essential part of the agreement signed on May 31, 1924, and stress that, with this attitude of the Chin- ese authorities towards obligations undertaken by them, there become quite doubtful the expediency and successful outcome of new , negotia- tions and fresh agreements that it is proposed to conclude at the pending conférence, I shall greatly appreciate if you will be good enuf to let me know the duration of the term of liquidation of the above-mentioned white guardist, and I would be glad to have a reply before the opening of the mentioned conference, (Signed) L.

Those bandits were the authors of numerous robberies and arson in the Duszetsk district (Georgia). In par- ticular, it was under their leadership that an attack was organized at the end of last year on the cast of a mov- ing picture troupe of the Georgian State Cinematograph, who were stag- ing a picture in the Caucasusian mountains, BULGAR WHITE TERROR DRAWS LOCAL PROTEST Meeting Sunday of All Balkan-Americans Thousands of workers and peas- ants have been summarily slaughtered and jailed in the white terror that has engulfed Bulgaria. The ministers to Bulgaria of the allied- powers, in- cluding the United States, forced the quarreling Balkan capitalist govern- ments to unite against the workers, and especially to massacre the Com- munists. In America the workers are called by the Balkan speaking workers re- siding in America, to protest the con- tinuance of this wave of barbarous re- action sweeping their native lands. The Balkan federation branches of the Workers (Communist) Party have arranged a mass demonstration meet- ing in Chicago, to take place on Sun- day, May 17, at 2:30 p. m. at Hod Car- riers’ Hall, 914 West Harrison street, near Halsted.

McClure of the Shaw- nee county district court this morning called the case of the state of Kansas against Jonathan M. Davis, accused of conspiracy and accepting a bribe, a crowded court room greeted the rts- ing of the curtain on Kansas’ first sight of one of its governors on trial on a criminal charge, Forty men and women—many of them farmers—of the special venire of 75 have been called. Sold Pardon, Davis is charged With conspiracy and soliciting a bribe in connection with the efforts for a pardon for Wal- ter Grundy, “boy banker” of Hutchin- son. Charged with him is Carl J. Peterson, former bank commissioner. Peterson asked for a separate trial and as a result probably will not be tried before fall. There_was an unexpectedly tense atmosphere about the court room when the trial began, due, it was said by court and political persons, to the opinion that the case will be bitterly fought by both sides. The former governor was one of the early arrivals in the court room. Charges Arrest Was Political, Davis said he felt the charges against him were the result of a de- termination by inimical interests in both parties in Kansas to prevent a “dirt farmer” from again seeking the governorship. He reviewed the history of his ad- ministration on taxation and the re- valuation of railroad property in the state, which involves more than $150,- 000,000 regarding’ which railroad suits are now pending in federal court. He directly accused the railroad interests of having helped to foster “the religi- ‘ous antagonism” which has been a fac- tor in recent campaigns. It was tacit- ly understood he was referring to the klamissue. . Trapped Taking Bribe. — Evidence which resulted in charges of bribery against him and his son, Russell, is known as the “Pollman case,” in which Russell Davis was trapped in a hotel room here when he received from Fred Pollman $1,000 af- ter bringing to Pollman, a former banker of Lacygne, a pardon issued by the governor.

Dear Juniors:—We, the members of the Young Spartacus Junior group (formerly West Side) have decided to help revive the Communist Children’s column of the DAILY WORKER, We passed a motion in our branch that we would do this and we hope tha every other Junior group will follow our example. We liked the column and miss it now, and when we asked for it again, we find that there is noth- ing to put in it unless we ourselves get it to the “Daily.” So it's up to us. Are we ready? Weill say so! I would like to tell you why we ed our name, West Side really doesn’t mean anything and we want MUNICH Rea a revolutionary name so that everyone can tell, what we are so we began the search for a name. After a lot of thinking and debat- ing we named our group after Sparta- cus, the great leader of the slaves in the real old days. Every member he joins our group must tell us something about Spartacus. This is sort of an initiation. We hope to see the column back and once back, we are going to do our best to keep it here. Yours for Juniors, Young Spartacus Junior group meets every Sunday, 3:15, 8118 W, Roosevelt Road. Minnie Epstein, Publicity Mgr,
