The searching party that found the wreck of the plane did not report a trace of the crew, whose death looks like a certainty. So swiftly has public opin- ion turned against those commercial- ized adventures that even Arthur Bris- bane in his column of September 18, failed to devote a few paragraphs to the dangers confronting this country from an aerial invasion from Europe, Asia or the moon. * * * | ‘HIS column commented recently on | FI mm rie rs — i the failure of recent papal bless- ings to accomplish anything other than | @—— By Fred Elli n | The Grime | F. | In the autumn of 1919 the offic of the World, the Socialist Weekly published in Oakland, Cali- fornia, were entered, according to | the newspaper’s own account, by members of the American Legion, who broke the glass doors, smashed the. showcase, and, strewed books fire to them. All over the country in the past two years socialist meetings have been broken up or prevented and speakers have been intimidated or run out of town. The speaking tour in the East of Irwin St. John Tucker in the autumn of 1919 was a series of interruptions, attributed by him primarily to the American Legion. In Bridgeport, Connecticut, where a permit to speak was re- fused, the istant chief of police said specifically that the action was taken because of a protest by the Legion. In Springfield, Massa- chusetts, Mr. Tucker omitted his speech at the request of the chief | of police. According to the Associa- ted Press dispatch: “The request of Chief Quilty resulted from an ulti- matum given city authorities on Thursday by Springfield Post, American Legion, that it would hold them responsible for any breach of the peace or demonstrations which sending the blessed off to the happy | hunting ground with more dispatch than the recipients of the holy man’s generosity bargained for. As usual I erred on the side of caution being fearful of hurting the holy father’s lucrative business. A reader called my attention to the ill-omened bless- ings bestowed by the self-styled pris- oner of the vatican on a European princess who started a flight from England to America and other fliers who braved the dangers ‘of the Pacific, only to perish therein. * * * oo "MAY CALL STRIKE Extra Day Off for All OF 30000 NEWYORK "Whe ee STEVEDORES SOON i 1] As a reward for the brutal man-} ner in which they broke up the re- cent Sacco-Vanzetti demonstr: A strike of 30,000 - New York long-} | tions, every member of the New shoremen is now an immediate pos-| | York police department will be sibility. granted an extra day off.

The impending business depres- sion, characteristic of periodic de- pressions in a capitalist system of production, has forced a_ great many ‘workers out of their jobs in many industries. The industries hardest hit by unemployment are the needle trades (where reacti- onary labor did its bit to aid un- employment) confectionary, wood- working and furniture, railroad re- pair shops and_ miscellaneous branches of textile work. HE degeneracy of the sole, whole and only true church, since the days of its alleged founder, the son of Mary by a neighborhood philanthropist, can be better appreciated after witnessing the play “Ben-Hur” now showing jn New York city, where Jesus makes dead babies cry, the blind see and the lepers dispense with their sores. Some of our skeptical readers may not be- lieve that the dead can be brought t life but since millions of workers are paying money for the delusion, it may be beneficial to call their attention to ;nouncing the e tra vacations. ies RES —4 UNIONS AND PARTY UNITS URGED TO SEND IN BOXED headline in the Herald- Tribune tells us that a descendant of Morgan, the famous pirate, intends to seek the missing loot of his ances- tor.

We do not know whether the present head of the House of Morgan is a descendant of his famous namesake We do know that old Sir Henry was a piker compared to J.
