(Continued from page 1) a few years back. Glenn is the leader of the cam- paign to put a Cossack bill thru the assembly on the excuse that the looting of banks could be pre vented by state police. The facts show that most of the bank looting is done by the officials. the amounts stolen by robbers being only a drop in the bucket. What the real motive of Glenn’s propagan- da is, was shown by his statement that a man who ts now in Cook County jail awaiting his turn on the gallows, attempted to terrorize his (Glenn’s) organization in an effort to force payment of a work- man’s: Compensation claim...

HE struggle between the bankers’ wing of the needle trades unions and the left wing who would maintain the unions as organs of the class struggle grows in intensity. Beaten in the elections, in the I.L.G. W.U., and in the Furriers’ Union, the business unionists of several unions in the United Hebrew Trades joined hands with their prototypes in the other needle trades unions to oust the militants. They hired gangsters in Chicago and New York to break up union meetings and when their hired thugs ONE QUEEN AND TWO JACKS Ford Marie Gary failed they called in the police who were ready to break heads for a price. The battle is still on. In Chicago, John Fitzpatrick and Edward Nockels were among the ring leaders of the gangsters. According to information secured by the Daily Worker from a reliable source, Edward Nockels is the police agent of the gangesters. It is a long cry since the day Fitzpatrick ousted Skinny Madden and his gang- sters from the Chicago Federation of Labor! . ~ J & IFFDRENCES of opinion as to the humaneness of poison gas as a lethal weapon may exist in certain quarters, but not in the American Legion. That organization of patriots founded with the aid of the dollars of the Du Pont Powder company protests vigorously against the adoption of a protocol that would abolish the use of poison ghs in warfare. The Chicago Tribune claims that this gas is almost as harmless as tobacco smoke, but the legionnaire’s spokesman admits that it burns out the lungs and eyes. If so, the more eyes and lungs that are burn- ed, out the better for the big chemical magnates, The legion is the tool of the manufacturers who are looking forward to the next opportunity of coining blood money out of the agony of the human race. : Te ee ee | ; ‘A USTRIA has been reduced to impotence as a world power but still has a few counts left. One of these counts admits that he mever did a day’s work in his life and Millicent Rogers, daughter of a Btandard Oil baron, cheerfully agreed that Salm von Hoogstraten was not built for work. Neither was Millicent. The count married Millicent who was im- pressed with his well-pressed trousers and his prowess at tennis. Millicent’s father . discovered that the count wasn’t of much account and succeed- ed in convineittg his daughter that a financially earefree life without Salm would compensate for whatever kick she might get out of begging for her bread. She quit and now the count is suing for gustody of a child, tho skeptical people claim he would swap his paternal love at any time for a reasonable number of Americana dollars. \i . \ you MEAN INSULLIED Fitzpatrick supported Frank L.
