Washington Bivd,, Chicago, Il, + Editors usiness Manager MORITZ J, LOBB........ September 21, 1923, at the post-office at Chi ander the act of March 3, 1879. | Entered as second cago, Il, Advertising rates on application, We Stand by Our Guns | Secretary of State Kellogg, if news dispatches from Washington are to be credited, has requested the post office department to in- vestigate Tur Darcy WorKnr’s treatment of the visit of Queen Marie. Tur Dairy Worker has telegraphed to Kellogg and Postmaster New to find out upon what basis the investigation is. to be made. We have, however, scarcely any doubt that the head-dolar-diplomat, Mr. Kellogg, took offense at an editorial in Tue Dariy Worker en- titled, “Romany Marie—-American Imperialism’s Hetaira,” in which the queen of the ruling house of Roumania, a-Hohenzollern dynasty spattered by the blood of thousands of murdered peasants and work- ers in old Roumania, Bessarabia and Transylvania is referred to as a “gory bitch.” Tue Dairy Worker informs both Secretary.of State Kellogg and Postniaster-General New, off-hand, that it stands by this ap pellation. Let these lackeys of imperialism proceed against Tur Datty Worker in defense of a representative of fendal monarchism. Let them duplicate the procedure that would most certainly be taken in the queen’s country, where every working class editor stands at every hour not only to have’ his* paper confiscated but his life menaced by the blood-thirsty “stguranza.” | When Queen Marie landed in New York harbor, she was asked { by a reporter about the persecutions of workers, peasants, and the | national minorities in Roumania. The queen evaded answering this question by saying that she was not “an official personage” and | could not afswer political questions. We therefore ask Secretary of State Kellogg why the Queen of | Roumania is accorded the status of an “official personage” while she denies it and refuses to assume the responsibilities that ordinaril go with it? We ask Secretary of State Kellogg why he defends this representative of military despotism and white terror in the same} way he would defend a foreign representative with full diplomatic standing when she refuses to accept_a diplomatic status? Tue Dairy Worker is not interested in Marie’s moral char- acter. We do not call for the bars of “moral turpitude” to he in- voked against her as they were invoked against Countess: Catheart, | who bears no comparison in this respect to the notorious Marie. The | degeneration of King Ferdinand is a common-place in: Roumania. | We think of no one who is more amendable to the charge of | “moral turpitude” than a denizen of the courts of eastern Europe. | But we let these things pass because Tat Dammy Worxer is far more interested in the fate of thousands of suffering and persecuted | workers and peasants in Roumania than it is in the personal affairs | of a monarch. | Tur Darry Worker's interest in Queen Marie is bounded by her | relationship to the people of Roumania and to the extent to which her visit here affects the activities of our own oppressors. | It is the opinion of Tue Darry Worker that Queen Marie has | come to the United States on official business of her country, despite | the fact the press of the land has aided the Roumanian legation in | suppressing this fact and covering it with pages of yokel-yanking publicity. In short, Queen Marie has been sent here by the Averescu | government in the role ofa charmer in an effort to raise money to} carry Roumania thru its present economic crisis. We mention in| passing that this crisis is in a large measure due to the over-militar- ization of Roumania. | It was because of her role as a political flirt sent to open the coffers of Wall Street with her charms that Tun Datty Worker referred to her as “Romany Marie, American Imperialism’s Hetaira,” | which latter word is a very succinct and apt ancient Greek expres- | sion for an idle lady of pleasure. Before anything else, however, we have in our mind’s eye the | pitiful plight of the entire Roumanian population groaning under, the burden of a merciless military regime; the thousands of peasant. martyrs whose bodies littered the fields of Bessarabia; we hear the | names of Max Goldstein and Pavel Tkatchenko, tortred to their | death for their political views; and we are mindful of the thousands of political prisoners rotting in the bastiles of the Boyars. It is indeed a bloody regime that is responsible for these horrors. The titular head of this regime’ is Ferdinand of Hohenzollern-Sigmar- ingen and Marie, Duchess of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, sits upon his left hand. ' Thus Tur Darty Worker holds Queen Marie to aceount for the the white ferror in Roumania. In pointing the accusing finger at this female scion of autoeracy, a careful search of a -phrase that conveyed in the clearest and most unmistakable terms the op- probrium with which we wished’ to associate her name, resulted in “gory bitch.” We stand by it. It’s Kellogg’s next move.

It appears that Magill was born somewhere in the vicinity of Abraham Lincoln’s birthplace. *Who was not? So Magill decided to run and his com- mittee made all and sundry connected with the campaign understand that not more than $25,000 could be expended in the campaign. “Of course,” Mr, Magill hastened to assure Senator Reed, “this means ex- clusive of postage stamps and such ex- penses.” The senator nodded affirma- tively. It seemed as if there was a general conspiracy at the investigation to hand the Baron Munchausen championship to George B. Saffond, state chairman of the-Anti-Saloon league.

Africa | Asks Independence LONDON, Oct. 20.—The first crisis of many that are expected to rock the British empire conference now in ses- |sion in London was in evidence as Pre- |mler Hertzog of South Africa declared that his dominion insists upon an in- dependence that will be recognized in unmistakable terms by not only Eng- land, but the other nations of the world, Mackenzie, King contributed his share to the difficulties of Foreign Minister Chamberlain and ‘ Premier Baldwin when he told the conference that it must not overlook the differ- ence of outlook that characterized each of the dominions as apart from each other and England. Imposing Delegations, The heads of the dominion govern- ments in attendance at the conference are accompanied by rather imposing delegations which seem to indicate that they mean business. The leaders of the various delegations are: «Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin of Great Britain, presiding; Mackenzie King of Canada; Bruce of Australia; Coates of New Zealand; Hertzog of South Africa; Monroe of Newfound- land; William Cosgrave, president of the executive council of the Irish Free State, and the Maharajah of Burdwan for India. Hertzog’s Challenge. Speaking for South Africa Premier Hertzog said: “We are anxious to pro- |mote good will, but we can only do so | if we can feel implicit faith in full and |free nationhood upon the basis of equality of every other member of the | commonwealth. South Africa does not | possess that faith today, but she shall | possess it the moment her independent status ceases to be a matter of dispute |and has become internationally recog- | nized.” | "The real fireworks are expected to- morrow when Chamberlain makes his {report on the policies of the British | foreign office with regard to the em- | pire.

The executive committee of the gen- eral strike committee discussed plans for enlisting actively 100 per cent the American labor movement which is already contributing to the support of the cloakmakers. It is felt that the action taken at the recent American Federation of Labor conference in De- troit calling on all international labor bodies to support the strike and pro- test against the cloakmakers’ injunc- tion will give impetus to this phase of the garment workers’ efforts to win their strike. ‘ Cops Invade Restaurants. The police were charged by the +d ion with invading restaurants in the garment zone and arresting strikers at breakfast in order to bring in a quota of pickets at the usual Monday morning picket demonstration. Seven pickets arrested in this fashion Mon- day were dismissed by Magistrate Weil in Jefferson Market Court. Ten other pickets were fined $10 each on charges of disorderly conduct. The strikers’ out of town commit- tee yesterday announced the closing of the Victory Cloak Shop in New Brunswick, N. J., where 50 nonunion workers had been employed.
