SPRINGFIBNLD, Ill, July 15.— The Illinois commerce commission today referred to the attorney general for further action on the complaint of the Américan Railway Express company, that the National transit company of Chicago, has operated motor trucks for transportation of, freight between Chicago and 83 communities within a radius of 114 miles without a certi- ficate of convenience and necessity. The commission upon-a hearing held that the National Transit com- pany has been. operating without the required certificate as provided by the Ilinois Public Utilities law. Altho the attorney general has not announced his plans with regard:to this: case the usual procedure is to file a petition for an injunction prob- ably in the cireuit court of Cook county to restrain the truck company from continuing in business. The trucks are still running. f Los ‘Angeles Fakers Feel Ground Swells LOS ANGELES, July, 15—The American Federation of Labor of Los Angeles is experiencing disturbances resembling recent California earth- quakes. L, M. Lipsett, who was presi- dent of the Building Trades Council, has been shaken out. J. M. Byrne, for many years editor of Citizen, has resigned and gone to Sacramento. As Lipsett led the secession of the building council from the general council and Byrne opposed the seces- sion bitterly, honors are even as to the two factions, But more seismic upheavals are coming. The cause of the workers of Los Angeles has been betrayed and sold so flagrantly that Sweeping read- justments must be made. © Complete changes of personnel are called for. Frapiesa.

These parts of the South are neutly as ignorant, illiterate, and backward as in the days of Negro slavery. The fact is that the Negro dowh here is still looked upon as ani inferior being. In the streetcars and busses. the Negro must,take his séat in the back of these public conveyances... In the North he is a wage-slave; here he is both a wage-slave and a social slave. That little modern knowledge is to be found in this dark, dismal, back- ward, provincial town was brot out when the jury was being selected. All the jurors selected are steady church attendants and stauch readers and be- lievers of every fairy tale and super- stition that fills the pages of the bible, Most of them never read any- thing else and some are entirely illit- erate and ignorant of the world they live in. Afraid of Scientists, Yes, Bill Bryan and his gang of morons are over-filled with fear ,and anxiety over the fact that the defense attorneys led by Darrow and Malone will bring in a host of scientists to prove that-evolution is a proven sci- ence, not a dream. Not only, is it feared that the scientists will destroy some of the myth laden minds of this town, but the elders of the church who are consciously or unconsciously, directly or indirectly aligned with the rulers of our imperialistic government and capiatlist owned industries , wll find that with a knowledge of modern science goes a revolt at modern eco- nomic society. Thomas H, Huxley, the acute, yet cautious scientist and follower: and expounder of the Darwinian theory of evolution showed in his day that ‘sci- ence*is-in-harmeny -end~ leads” the people towards industrial freedomfand against: industrial slavery’ and’ ‘¢api- talist dominance, a - He showed an eample of this When he, himself, turned his energy tor the ending of thé present economic sys- tem of society. Thus did he make, his views clear: “Under capitalism thére is a a condition in whieh food, warmth, and clothing’ which are necessary for the mere maintenance of the functions of the body in their normal state, can- not be obtained; in which men, wom- en, and children are forced to crowd into dens where decency is abolished, and the most ordinary conditidns of healthful existence are impossible of attainment; in which the pains ac- A SIMPLE PLEASING DESIGN 5076.

FASHION BOOK NOTICE!” end 126 w LS JF ~eantaint sae ane con ( tS eC OUR DAILY PATTERNS This town is over- decir (cumulate at compound interest in the | shape of starvation, disease, stunted development, and moral degredatio in which the prospect of even steady and honest industry is a life of unsuc- cessful battling with hunger, rounded out by a pauper’s grave . . (Bold face mine.) Whcn the organization of | society, instead of mitigating this tendency, tends to continue and inten- sify it, when a given social order plainly makes for evil and not for good, men naturally enuf begin to think it high time to try a fresh ex- periment . ns Thus spoke the Scientist Huxley and thus spoke Alfred R. Wallace co- worker with Darwin in the discovery of the evolutionary theory. Here we learn that Huxley, the exponent of evolution, looks upon capitalism as a cause of poverty and degredation, and hence calls upon the workers and thinking people to put an end to this disgrace and hell that capitalism and its relgious-crazed henchmen have brot upon the producers of wealth and their wives and children. The cold and bitter experiences of the thinking wage-slaves of the United States has proven to them that cap- italism is a crime and a destroyer of all that is good and noble in man, and that it is high time to abolish this crime and instead bring forward a system of society that will make for the economic and social betterment of the working and producing class, and destroy the capitalist parasites, and the religious parasites. Idiotic Judge, Judge Raulston, who presides at the trial and who with fan in hand fans himself while he stands with a’ broad puritanical and idiotic smile on his face—and chews (gum) and trys to talk at the same time, seems to stand in awe of Mr. Darrow, the defense at- torney, as the latter speaks. More than once the judge has shown his fear when side-stepping the local rules of trials in deference to Darrow. However, this does not mean that he is not prejudiced against scientific truth. The opening of the trial with a prayer by a 100 per cent fundamen- talist displayed all the prejudice that is needed to prove that a real hearing for ocionce will be comely lacking at this trial. But even if the judge will try to be as fair as possible, he can still rely upon the 99 per cent funda- mentalist jury, and hence the judge can afford to be somewhat fair in his dealings with the defense. For it is as difficult to obtain an unprejudiced jury in this town as it would be to ob- tain a judge or jury in Pittsburgh, Pa, who would hand out justice to a bunch of “Reds.” Coal Mine Re-opens.

POLISH BOSSES » WORKERS’ BLOOD es MWARSAW, Poland—(By Mail)— The cegime of Polish attack on the workers seems fo be too weak to the Polish bourgeoibie. Rjetch Pospolita writes on this subject: “Nowhere are the Communists treated so humanly (?) as in Pola The arrested, pas- sing tru workefs quarters, sing the International and shriek out Com- munist slogans; The police keeps silence, everybotly knows that a shot bring the pris@ners to silence by force.

Hundreds of cities in this country have not yet had the benefit of these and similar labor films. The message of Soviet Russia, as expressed in liv- ing pictures of actual events in the first workers’ republic, has been deni- ed to the working men and women liv- ing in these towns. Only 200 cities out of a possible 2,000 have run these workers’ films. Some cities, small as well as large, on the other hand, have taken full ad- vantage of the six educational and three story films made available by} bi the Movie Department of the Interna- tional Workers Aid. Films have heen shown iry large theaters and small, in Labor }Pemples and schoolhouses. They have been shown by themselyes, or to complete a meeting program, or occasionally at picnics to draw and hold the crowd beyond the usual home hour. Now plans are being rapidly perfected to carry the movie show, by means of portable equipment, right into the halls and homes of even the smallest working class organizations. In this way the high theater rentals will be overcome and the showings, while smaller, will be less expensive and of more intense and intimate ef-| fect upon the audience.

Chicago, Illinois Chicago, Ill, New Films for Fall and Winter in from Russia Effort are being made to bring the latest film successes of Soviet Rus- sia to this country for next Fall and Winter's program. It is expected to get the best of all, “Lenin's Warn- ing.” It is an exciting story of love and struggle, showing the life of a young girl as she goes thru the storm- iest period of revolution, and it brings in the tremendous influence exerted by Lenin upon events and mass senti- ment in Ru@sia, both during his life and after his death. A comedy show- ing an American Babbitt’s adventures in Moscow, and a news film showing the wérk of the “Mopr” or Interna- tional Red Aid, are also expected. It is not known just when these films, which are now enjoying great popular- ity abroad, will be made available for the use of the Western workers, ™ the meantime, however, some ex- cellent news films of Russian life and industry have been received, and these. will be combined with the very est and most effective scenes from all the pictures thus far put out in this country in the form of “A Trip to Soviet Russia.” Many millions who have never seen any of these pictures and many who have looked at them once will welcome a chance to see them again in a new treatment and significance.
