The Freiheit declares that'thru this trial it will be able to put the entire reactionary right wing in the labor movement on trial The statement prepared by M. Epstein is as follows: ** ¢ Dear Comrades: Charges have been submitted to the court, against the Freiheit by Harry Lang, labor edi- tor of the Jewish Daily Forward, Lucy Robbins, close associate of the late, Gompers, and Congressman N. Perlman, republican ‘politicie in New York connected with the right wing machine of the Jewish labor movement. This libel suit against the Frejheit is based upon two articles that ap- peared in the Freiheit on the 8th and 9th of February, exposing the corrup- tion and degeneracy of the right wing clique in the labor movement. The exposure involves the reactionary lae- bor leaders in the needle trades and partly in the building trades whose _— union bureaucracy is working and in hand with the worst elements of the underworld, professi gang- sters, fakers and swindilers.

Forward’ Plays Big Part. In this work of betrayal and corrup- tion of the trade union leaders, the Jewish Daily Forward is playing an important part. By means of its pow- erful apparatus of publicity and its large funds, it is capable of covering up the deeds of reactionary labor leaders. Gangsterism and personal corrup- tion are the characteristic features of these labor bureaucrats in the needle : (Continued on page 5.) i ae eats ME FE IPS ADISO., OL (By Herbert pict hi “Young Worker” Agent) NEW YORK, Mar. 8.—The date is approaching when the Communist move- ment will see the greatest undertaking in the lines of affairs ever undertaken by the communist in this country. It is the Paris Commune celebration and Press pageant to be held ‘on March 15th at Madison Square Garden.

But for us the members of the Young Workers’ League this affair has another significance in addition to the ones mentioned as well as the propaganda and educational value of having thousands of young work- ers learn the lesson of the Paris Com- mune, and what we must do to over- throw the system of capitalist ex- plotation. Our official organ the Young Worker has just become a weekly. We must do everything in our power to keep it going and at the same time increase its circula- tion.

All decisions regarding the winners of the contests will be based upon the subscription tickets paid for by that time, and the winners will be announced and the prizes awarded before the ball ends that evening. The percentage of the net proceeds to go to each one of the various publieations will_also be figured on the basis of the subscription tickets paid for by the respective language branches by that hour. tt is therefore essential that every one selling subscription tickets settle with the agent of his branch before then. Only one point will be allowed in the contest for subscription tickets paid for on the last day at Madison Square Garden. One point and a half will be credited to the contestants for every subscription ticket paid for at the District Office by March Mth or before. ested must therefore see to it that minute, but turned in before.

The Young Work- ers’ League and the Young Worker will receive a share of the proceeds of this affair in proportion to the number of subs sold by members of the league before the date of the affair. This is indeed an opportunity of every member of the league as well as sympathizer to help the Young Worker. and the Young Workers’ League. We expect every member of the leaguc to sell subs and tickets in his shop, factory, school, club, as well as to his friends. We expect our shop nuclei particularly to make a good showing and show that the shop nuclei is in every way superior to the territorial branch. Comrades let us concentrate this last week, and show what only the youth“can do. Let us have a record of at least 3,000 subs sold before March 15. Remember, it’s for the Young Work- er as well as for our DAILY WORKER. FAREWELL TO THE “GARDEN” Within a few days after our Press Pageant in Madison Square Garden March 15, the historic old building, which has been the scene of so many impressive Communist dem- onstratians, will be torn down.

NEW YORK, March 8—PACK THE GARDEN MARCH 15! This is the aim of every party and Young Workers League member in New York. The kept press was howling with rage when the reds packed the Garden o Sunday, Feb. 1.. American Legion, Daughters of the Revolution and all the professional patriots foamed with fury at the thought that 15,000 working men.and women came to pay their respects to Lenin on the first anniversary of his death. But that is one of the reasons why the comrades in this district wil! again fill the Garden and show this motley crew, henchmen of everything that is evil in capitalism, that the Work ers Party is here and will take ad- vantage of every opportunity to de- monstrate in behalf of its own martyrs that it fears not the vitrolic vaporing of this gang of 100 per centers.

«Whe ILDWIN BOWS TO LABOR STORM TH CONCESSION wood, Ousted Mem- Stirs Scotch Workers es ts : ot Dus s N ‘ya (Special to the Daily Worker) \ LONDON, March 8.—The section of the labor party which resumed its seats in the house of commons with- _ out David Kirkwood, who was expell- ed from the house Thursday for heck- ling Austen Chamberlain, foreign secretary, applauded Prime Minister Baldwin's adroit speech against the trade union political fund bill. Baldwin, who thus opposed a bill of. fered by his own kind, feared that ii it passed, a storm of labor oposition would arise at once, which would be @ misfortune for his regime, now going thru a ticklish situation. By his speech, it is presumed, the bill was de feated, disgruntling some of Baldwin's party members, but pleasing the labor party members. The bill would have practically for- bidden the trade unions from making contributions to political parties. It would have immediately affected the labor party. Kirkwood, meanwhile, enjoyed his vacation outside of parliament, by call- ing the prince of Wales a “nincom- poop” and attacking the house of com: mons in a speech to his constituents in Scotland. “Thursday's incident was an effort to crush a workingman,” Kirkwood told a large audience of his constitu- ents. “Chamberlain is incapable, fit- ted neither mentally nor physically for his job.” He promised his constituents never to apologize to the commons because, he said, that body wanted to crush him for his attacks on that “nincom- poop prince.” Harriman to Buy Output of Soviet Manganese Mines LONDON, March 8.—Interesting lights on the dealings of the Soviets with the rest of the world came to light as a result of the Harriman pro- position to contract for the output of the Georgian manganese mines. It is expécted that a contract will be signed Monday between Mr. Harriman and the Soviets under which the Har. riman group will invest $4,000,000 in new railways to the plant. The Soviet government is to be paid a minimum annual royalty of $3,200, 000, of which $1,000,000 is to be paid in advance. The former owners of the properties are to be compensated. Al. together the Harriman deal means $64,000,000 royalty in twenty years. The deal, if consummated, means that one of the world’s richest man- ganese fields goes to one American interest. An unusual feature is the indemnification of the former owners, 90 per cent, of whom are Russians. Even David Lloyd George in his dealings with the Soviets only prov- ided for compensation to foreign and not Russian owners of various prop- erties. The German and British press ap- parently are hostile to the Harriman deal, following the failure of their own nationals to get similar concessions. —_————— Te “Jim Crow’’ Beaches at Washington Are Again Abandoned WASHINGTON, D.

The action was taken, it is thought as a result of the protest of the Negro citizens of Washington.

Dur- become steadily worse, until tonight they would gladly accept some loophole of compromise if such were offered Monday night they called all their cohorts together by a novel method of notification. A list of about a hundred, who they thought would do their grams sent to them. Some 50 gather- ed at the law office of one, Scallon, attorney for the plaintiffs, and the business of turning out lying affidavits was begun. A Witches’ Cauldron stunt Using a mixture of about a grain of truth to a bushel of half truths and lies, they concocted an affidavit .cover- ing each local union, seeking to estab- lish that the members of said local unions were strong for expulsions without trial, and that injunctions were eats, drink, and pretty good clothes for a wood-butcher. The aggregation from each local union then signed the affidavit cover- ing what purported to be the action of their local union. Some who were reluctant to so perjure themselves were bludgeoned into the act with threats of expulsion of the local union to which they belonged if they did not sign. ; Little Things Like Perjury One member said that although the affidavit stated that he was present at a certain meeting and he told the fakers that he was not at that meet ing, they insisted that he sign it any- way, which he did. Secretary “Jelly” Fish, under cross examination, admitted that he had not worked at the trade for seven and half years and wanted to keep his job, if he could. He stated that he had been threatened with the loss of it thru the columns of the DAILY WORKER. Yellow Sharrock, president of the district council, and one of the plain: tiffs in the case, in a cheap effort to ingratiate himself with the court, stated that he kept his records and his naturalization papers in his priv- ate office at the district: council. Fakers Fight to Hold Jobs When the judge remarked, on reéad- ing the district council constitution, that Sharrock got $60 a week for dis- charging the duties therein set forth (and getting an injunction on the side), Sharrock volunteered that it didn’t stipulate how much abuse he got, whereupon Maurice Sugar, attor- ney for the defense, remarked that neither did it state how much abuse he earned. During. the taking of evidence : Fish, old Sam Botterill sat and sh his head “yes” or “no” at each qtles- tion to indicate the answer, until Rd nolds across the counsel table ind cated by pantomime what he was doing and that he should stop it, whereupon the spectators burst into laughter, in which Botterill himself joined. Honorable Court Reads Honorable Worker Attorney Gilmore dramatically in- troduced the DAILY WORKER today in what he thought was a clever at- tempt to prejudice the court, (the old POLICE GUARD AROUND | JAP PARLIAMENT AS IT PASSES GAG LAW TOKYO, Japan, March 8— The peace preservation act, also known as the anti-Bolshevist law, providing for imprisonment for nearly every form of Communist activity, was passed by the house while a heavy police guard surrounded parliament. The law is designed to check Com- munist propaganda and is.said by government officials to be a direct result of the» Japanese-Russian agreement. red herring trick), pointing especially to the article in the issue of February 5th entitled “A ‘Honorable’ Court En; joins a Carpenter,” referring only to the copy of the bill of complaint em: bodied therein. Attorney Sugar took a similar copy from his portfolio, an- nouncing that he is a subscriber to the DAILY WORKER, and told the court that the “Honorable” applied to this court. He then proceeded to read the in- troduction to the bill of complaint and the following comment, in which the court was referred to as a “capital. ist court” serving “capitalist labor fakers,” and.to the injunction itself as a “scrap of paper.” Judge Hunt seemed highly amused during ‘the reading of the article. The DAILY WORKER was included in the record as Exhibit No. 10. Faker Claims Jurisdiction Over “Daily Worker” Sharrock told the court that he had -stated that he would hold anyone who sold the DAILY WORKER responsible for what was published therein. This in spite of the fact that he and “Jelly” Fish are both subscribers and shyster Carson says he reads it every day. These fakers are trying to set up a censorship on what the rank and file may read. The carpenters of Detroit are get .ting. some valuable information as to } what may be expected from fakerdom and its local flunkeys. At a meeting tohight of delegates and visitors whc gathered for the regular district coun cil meeting, which was not held be cause Sharrock and Fish failed to ap- pear, special consideration was given to the bunch of snakes who signed these lying affidavits Monday night. Painful Proceeding Promised Tt was intimated that at the first _Imteeting of each local union a copy of each affidavit would be read before the meeting and discussion and act- tion would follow. It is safe to as- sume that a painful half hour will be had by these traitors. Jurisdictional Row Handed to One Man For Arbitration After a confab Saturday in the office of the Building Construction Employ- ers’ Association, led by Patrick Sul- livan, of the Building Trades Council, and Edward M. Craig, of the employ- ing contractors, it was agreed to sub- mit the dispute to J. D’Esposito, who is made the arbiter. Business agents of the striking crafts will hold a meeting with D’Es- posito, who will be expected to order the men back to work pending a de- cision. The strike, which has lasted over a week, was called by the other crafts against the practice of the carpenters in setting metal trim, which was a de- fiance of the jurisdictional award that gave the metal trim work to the Sheet Metal Workers’ Union.

The murderers poured kerosene over the priest’s body and then ignited it, saythe advices from Jitomir. Fedoukovitch was the author of a widely known letter to the pope in which he protested to the vati- can against the participation of Po- lish clergymen in the anti-Soviet campaign.

LOUIS ENGDAHL a Chain German Labor : to His Dawes Scheme ODAY, the Goolidge clique in Washington considers sending a “business man” as the next ambassador to Berlin. Just 9s if every American ambassador, or minister, abroad is not the °' direct spokesman of American big business. The German am-’' bassador, however, as the agent of the Morgan-Dawes plan must have special qualities, and so Charles Dewey Hilles who has had. a post graduate training in both Washington and Wall Street; is being prominently mentioned for the job. | 3 er Hilles will have his hands full when he arrives in Berlin. The German workers will keep Hilles busy. This is seen-in the unrest among the coal miners and the growing strike on the railroads. They will give him plenty of bad news to report to “J. Pierpont.” * 0e@e¢e i Hiles was an assistant secretary of state under President Taft, later becoming secretary to this same “Bill the Fat” dur- ing the closing days of his regime in the White House. His loyalty to the present chief justice of the supreme court, and to the rampant reaction in the republican party in the days before the opening of the world war, made Hilles chairman of the re- publican national committee. From these beginnings Milles has since become a director in the Liberty National Bank of New York. He also holds a directorship in the anti-union Otis Elevator company. Recently Hilles has been specializing in activities with firms having an international character, which makes him no doubt additionally acceptable for the most ticklish post that Wall Street has to offer at the present time. ¢**¢* 8 | The only other man mentioned for the job at Berlin is Jacob Gould Schurman, a long time ago president of Cornell Univer- sity, one of America’s most obedierit “goose-step” educational in- stitutions. Since it is Wall Street’s ambition to colon not only Germany, but all of Western Europe, not to mention the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, if such a thing were possible, Schurman also has good qualities for the job. As long ago as 1899, immediately after the Spanish-Ameriean war, Schurman helped place the shackles of the new American imperialism on the limbs of the Filipinos, just freed by.an altruistic United States from Spanish oppression. Schurman was president of the first Philippine commission that performed its job so well that the Filipinos have remained enslayed to Wall Street rule ever since. Schurman was also promoted, He? is now American minister to China, where his main job is keeping an “open door” for the almighty dollar’ to the whole’ orient.’ This includes stir- ring up internal trouble in China and supporting counter-revo- lutionary elements against those revolutionary Chinese who pro- test against the depredations of foreign imperialism. But com- pared to his success in the Philippines, Schurman’s usual report from China is, “not so good.” * * # ® The workers and poor farmers of, this country must get better acquainted with the doings, of these spokesmen of dollar diplomacy abroad. Hilles or Schurman, whichever one is chosen, will go to Berlin to tighten the Dawes plan on the whole German. . nation, which means the German working class. Already the effects of German slave labor are: being felt in other countries, especially in England and Belgium, where the army of unem- ployed in the coal mines, for instance, ‘grows as German labor is forced to bear its increased burden. In fact, the same results are already beginning to make their appearance in the United States. * ¢ @ @ When Hilles or Schurman go abroad as Morgan’s henchmen, they become the enemies, not only of the German or Chinese work- ers, but also of the whole American working class. It is im- possible to degrade ‘the workers of Germany and China, with- out also increasing the ruthlessness of American capitalism at home. % The German workers, more and more, are resisting the Mor- gan-Dawes plane.

The trial will begin on March 11, . The Soviet’s case is based om the contention that the Sinclair company failed to start operations as the con- tract stipulated and.to ma) e nec- essary expenditure for technical equip- ment. According to the Soviet’s own version, Harry L. Sinclair duly paid ‘|the sum stipulated in the contract in September, 1923, and wanted to begin operations. | . j The Problem of Force Majyre. On March 6, 1924, Mr. Sinclair’s rep- resentative, M. Templeton, officially informed the Soviet government. that the Japanese troops of occupation had refused to admit the expedition equtp- ped by the Sinclair company to North Sakhalin and that Mr. Sinclair there. fore requested the Soviet to consider the circumstances as governed by force majure and automatically to pro long the contract until conditions An Unhappy Situation for Sinclair. The Soviet government then gave the Sinclair company six months’ grace, but now the Soviet jurists re- fuse to consider the Japanese occu- pation as a force majure on the grounds that the Sinclair company was aware of the occupation when the cortract was signed and that the Am- erican government did not attempt to ease the way for Mr. Sinclair’s oper- ations as the latter had expected. These provincial courts are not com- posed of jurists, the chief qualification required for members being a fixed period of Communist service. Ths judges are elected by Communist com- mittees. Capitalists Get “Fair Trial.” In view of the court’s lack of jurt- dical red tape, it is safe to predict that the decision will be in favor of the Soviet where one party is the Soviet government itgelf and the other is a foreign bourgeois capitalist company.

HE TRADE UNION EDUCATION. AL LEAGUE pledges its fullest support to the miners. It points out the necessity of waging the fight up- on the basis of,the class struggle and on a national scale, and urges the miners to immediately form a united front with the railroad unions, and to support the program of the Progres- sive Miners’ Committee. The attack upon the miners is an attack upon the entire labor movement, and the only way to successfully combat this offensive is to call upon the whole la- bor movement to join in the fight. struggle pit or shop committees be the center around which the struggle of the min- ers is organized. Those committees are complimentary and not antagonis- tic to the union. They do not take the place of but strengthen and build up the union by drawing the member- ship closer and into the activities of the union and the fight. GOOD example of the effective- ness of these committees and how they can lead and organize the membership for the offensive was shown by the Grievance Committees —which are shop or pit committees— in the anthracite coal fields around Wilkes Barre. There they were able ticilans within the union who urge Cco- operation with the bosses. The pres ent situation means struggle not class collaboration. The coal miners must watch very carefully every move’! made by the coal operators and to keep a watchful eye on their own leaders. It urges the miners to support the campaign now being conducted for world trade union unity as the best means of combatting the Dawes plan, and to assist the Red International of Labor Unions in its effort to bring the unions of the world into one solidified organization.

So powerful AL LEAGUE points out to the coal miners that only the rank and/| file, with class struggle understand- eS -_ woe oe eee The glaring “impartiality” of this decision is fn ‘conformity with the past acts of this board and is one of the chief reasons for the seething dis- content that is almost constanly ex- pressing itself in the many outlaw strikes in the anthracite fields. These Two are Enough. \ The anthracite miners have just two grievances against the concilia- tion board; one is that it takes the board many months, and sometimes years, to decide on a case, and the second is, that the vast majority of the important decisions are made against the miners, and this latest atrocity is a typical example contain- ing both earmarks of the conciliation board. It is well over a year since this mat- ter was laid before the board when Local Union No. 400 passed a decision prohibiting any member from loading more than three cars during the eight hours of work. ; The decision of the union was a first step towards bringing uniformity of wages in the mines and preventing of the pace-setting methods used by the boss’s favorites who are always given favorable places in the mines and whose earnings are used as an argument for wage reductiou. Rinaldo Cappellini, whose record of betrayals surpasses even that of the eonciliation board of which he is an ardent supporter, will have a hard time explaining away this decision. Zaleskas Against Cappellini. The miners of District 1 will have an ample oppdrtunity of repudiating Cappellini and the conciliaton board during the coming election for presi- dent, vice-president and the secretary- treasurer, by supporting the progres- sive candidates, headed by the rank and file miner, Bernard Zaleskas, who is running for president on a progres- sive platform which demands the abol- ition of the conciliation board, estab- lishment of the minimum wage, direct settlement of grievances between the ugpion and the operators within 30 days, abolition of topping, a six-hour day, five-day week, and a uumber of ether demands that will solve the many burning grievances and prob- lems facing the anthracite miners to- day. Electrical Union Agrees with Boss Not to Organize NEW YORK, March 8.— “Out of consideration of the interest of the public which stand above the intér- ests of both the employers and the employes,” the officials of the Elec- trical Workers’ Unions in this city have just entered into an agreement with the New Edison company not to attempt to unionize the company’s power house employes, “lest organ- ized employes might resort to strikes in putting forth and enforcing various demands upon the company and thus deprive the public of electric “cur: rent.” The attitude 6f the workers to this shameful betray! and bondage at this time could not be learned. The company, of course, in its mer- icless exploitation of the workers will readily put forth any sham and pre- tense, such as the public's interests, in order to beguile them, and the labor fakers readily co-operate with the company in delivering the rank aad file to the capitalists for this ex- ploitation. Subscribe. for the DAILY - \ whole-hearted support of the coal op- erators of Illinois and Indiana, and the financial interests of Wall Street and the Coolidge government, but they have to meet the situation with a leadership that is the most reac- tionary and corrupt in the American labor movement. The signatures to the Jacksonville agreement wére scarcely dry when the coal operators began breaking it, while, on the other hand, the miners were severely criticized and punished by their officials every time they at- tempted to compel the mine owners to abide by the agreement. The Trade Union Educational League pointed out, at the time of the signing of the Jacksonville agreement, that thir was the last act of a long line of treachery committed by John L. Lewis, having for its purpose the de- struction of the United Mine Work- ers of America as a militant fighting forces within the miners’ union that have fought the hardest in the inter- ests of the miners and against the in- terests of the operators and _ their capitalist government. John L. Lewis’ expulsion policy, which has resulted in the expelling of some of the best fighters in the union because they stood for the class struggle instead of for class col- laboration, dovetails in with the “op- en shop’ policy-of the employers and has encouraged them to launch their attack at this time. The coal miners are the best group of organized workers in America. In spite of their corrupt leaders, they are the very heart of and stand as an example and incentive to the rest of the organized workers. If their union can be destroyed or badly demoraliz- ed or weakened, the rest of the unions will fall an easy prey to the assaults of the employing class, who are now standards of the American working class. This attack upon the miners has two Significant angles. It is directed against the most powerful union in America, because the arrogant brutal capitalist class of this country feels that, with the election of Coolidge and | Dawes, it is strong enuf to attack la bor at its strongest point and with one fell swoop destroy the labor move ment or reduce it to a low level of re. sistance. Secondly, the Dawes plan, which is international in scope and Tirected against the working class of the capitalist world, (Russia being the only country not affected), demands the reduction of the miners’ standard of living to the level of that of the German miners. The Trade Union Educationa) League calls upon the miners to meet the stituation by forming committees of action in each mine: that these did they become that they compelled the Lewis administration to return the charters to the local unions, which had been revoked because of their go- ing on strike. Shop or pit committees develop the fighting qualities of the workers. It gives them a better understanding of the struggle, and is the best, quickest, and surest means of getting unity of action and of holding, strengthening, and broadening the strike front. Shop or pit committees, composed of actual workers, are closer to the line of battle. They are directly re sponsible to. the membership. They understand the situation, will fight and carry it to a successful conclus- ion, where the officialdom, whose in- terests are not directly involved, would be willing to compromise and accept defeat, The Trade Union Educational League calls upon the coal miners to fight against the efforts of those poll- ing and revolutionary discipline, can offset the treachery of the capitalist apologists within the union and de- feat the coal operators in their at- tempt to put the coal fields upon an “open shop” basis.

Australian Labor — _———- MARINE WORKERS’ CONFERENCE ENDS WITH SUCCESS; CENSURE OFFICIALS FOR OBSTRUCTION (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW ORLEANS, La., March 6-—(By Mail.)—The first international conference of marine transport workers of the western hemisphere adjourned yesterday after conclusion of what may be known as the most successful, even if initial effort, to bring real:unity into the ranks of this shamefully dis- organized oppressed group of workers. Censure Former Officials For Obstruction. Taking note of the fact that the International Propaganda Committee of the Red International of Labor Unions had extended an invitation to the Marine Transport Workers’ Industrial Union 610 of the I. W. W., to attend a conference at Berlin of all revolu- tionary transport workers’ unions of the wefld on Feb. 25, the conference passed a vote of censure on the for- mer executive of M. T. W. 610, for withholding and concealing from ‘the membership this invitation. This obstructive tactic of the for- mer Officials of the M. T. W. 510 had been subject to much criticism since it became known by publication of the letter of invitation by the Red In- ternational Affiliation Committee, and by @ communication to the confer- ence from the Pan-American Anti-Im- perialist League, that a world confer- ence of the same nature and for the same purpose was meeting in Ber- lin almost at the same time. The M. T. W. officials had neither answered the invitation, nor allowed news of its existence to reach the member- ship. This obstruction to unity it was which drew the vote of censure. Opposes |. W. W. Attacks on Other Revolutionary Movements. The conference took a sympathetic and constructive attitude when it ac- cepted a resolution opposing adverse criticism in lL. W. W. papers of any movement having revolutionary ideals. This is considered a sharp rebuke for the officials of anarcho- syndicalist tendency who have been leading the organization in the direc- tion of the anarchist international which goes by the name of the In- ternational Workingmen’s Associa- tion. The most significant organic re- sults of the conference, was the ap- proval of free and interchangeable membership among all marine unions of the western hemisphere whose pre- ambles or constitutions are based up- en the revolutionary class struggle of the proletariat for emancipation. All members in good standing in any country are to be accorded all privi- leges as members of the unions in the country where they happen to be. Next Annual Meeting in Havana. BONUS LIKE THE B, & 0. PLAN, 1S TRICK OF BOSSES An increase in 1924 of more than $2,500,000 in the excessive 1923 profits was what stockholders of the South- ern Railway got in return for a petty efficiency bonuS included in agree- ments signed last year with the op- erating brotherhoods. The employes affected got about $34 apiece or a to tal of perhaps $400,000, lesa than one- sixth of the cash gain of the owners. The employe bonus was only 1% per cent of the annual pay. The stockholder bonus for doing nothing amounted to over 20 per cent more in their annual profit. The Southern bonus plan belongs with the B. & ©. shop co-operatiion scheme for getting increased profits or the owners with as little as possi- ble to the employes in exchange. It was incorporated into 3 year agree- raents giving the 4 operating brother- hoods a 5 per cent increase in rates of pay and the dispatchers from 6 per cent to 10 per cent. But the bonus was to be paid only if the ra- tio of certain transportation expenses including these wages was kept as low as 1923. The men were to be induced to pay their own wage crease in efficiency which would re- sult in loss of jobs to many. The test ratio in 1923 was 21.4 per cent of the gross receipts of the road. The 1924 figure will be close to 20.3 per cent. The ratio of all transportation expenses was reduced from 36.3 per cent to 35.1 per cent, an unusual the 1924 slump in traffic and revenue. The nature of the economies is in- achievement in view of ;at grocers, tions made at the conference of Bak- ers and United Hebrew Trades held here Sunday. The conference was an evident at tempt to widen the breach between the bakers of the American Federa- tion of Labor and the Amalgamated Food Workers who are making every — effort to effect unity in spite of the reactionary bureaucracy that has kept up a fight between the two organiga- tions for over ten years. At a meeting of the Amalgamated Food Workers held recently at Coop er Union, it was decided to inaugurate a campaign of organization and seek co-operation with the Bakers’ Union in an effort to unite in the fight against the bosses and line up the rank and file in the entire bakery and food industries for harmony and con- certed action among the workers. Called a Counter-Move. This effort of the Amalgamated Food Workers was deeply resented by the reactionaries and the meeting of | last Sunday was held for the purpose of counteracting the good start that had been made toward an understand- ing between the different organiza- tions. There were 315 delegates from 146 organizations present, representing branches of the Workmen's Circle, the socialist party and women’s organiz- ations. The socialists were in control and speeches were made by Viadek and Rogoff of the Forward, Hugh Frayne of the A. F. of L. bureaucracy, Pach- odsky of the capitalist Morning Jour- nal and Shiplacoff of the socialists. Timid Socialists Aghast A resolutions committee brought in a report advising all who eat bread to buy from grocers, bakers and deli- catessen stores that had bread with the union label. The timid, but in comparison flaming revolutionary, Pachodsky, of the capitalist Morning Journal, moved to amend that the populace be invited to a strike against the grocers, bakers and delicatessen joints that handled scab bread, but was sat on heavily by the socialists for his Moscow imported ideas and his suggestion of this bloody revolu- tion method. The total lack of any suggestion in the resolution for organization and demand for better wages and condi- tions inspired a minority report from part of the resolutions committee, which report called for real unity and a campaign of organization and amal- gamation of all the bakers and food workers. This minority report was eyed over by the strong heads of the conference and was not allowed to be read. Shiplacoff Becomes Hysterical. Whereupon Shiplacoff launched in- to a spasm of hysterical denunciation of all progressives telling his hearers to “clean out all the rats and mice with knives at the back to stab the nice cats,” or something else which’ he did not make sufficiently clear to be fully grasped by the rank and file who seemed to be unable to relish the classification as “rats and mice.” And as a resulf there was a mighty roar and a ditto noise that came pret- ty nearly calling upon “pussy” to shut up. But after some five minutes of celebration by the “rats and mice” as he had baptized the rank and fille, he went on attacking especially the Jewish Freiheit for its policy of unity of all the workers. Then the conference went home, the socialists of New York, almost a bak- ers’ dozen of them, triumphantly re solved to emancipate the working class of the world by purchasing bread bakers and delicatessen May Boycott U.

How- ’ # (Special to the Daily Worker) MELBOURNE, Australia, March 8. —The Australian section of the In- dustrial Workers of the World is meeting with some sympathetic re- sponse in its effort to persuade the Australian labor unions to put a strike boycott on the United States fleet when it visits the island continent next summer. The left wing of the un- ions approve the demonstration, while the officials are mostly opposed. The action may be taken as a poll- tical demonstration against the con- tinued imprisonment of members of the I. W.

The international strike, which was much discussed, and waich is to af- fect Latin America as well as North America, is left in the hands of a com- mittee composed of McRae, Canfield and Harney, all l. W. W. who are to draw up strike demands and details. Resolutions adopted also covered an educational campaign against drunk- enness, narcotics and race prejudice, while the shipping crimps came. in for condemnation, as an enemy of fea- men.

We can compel such persons as Abe *Cahan, editor of the Jewish Daily Forward, Morris Hillquit and many trade union officials, to ap- pear in court as witnesses to substan- tiate many of our charges.
