The title was conferred on her because of her benefactions to the church and char- ity, the two being synonymous terms. Mrs. Spaulding is heiress to the mil- liovfs of her father, the late John H.

When all the other shoe repair shops signed up with the union for a ten dollar in- crease in wages last week, this con- cern refused to sign any contract with the union and offered the men in- dividually the same increase in wages if they would sign personal! contracts. This the men naturally refused, since they know that their only safety lies in organization, and they are now fighting for their right to organize and bargain collectively. At first a few individuals were intimidated by the company into agreeing to the per- sonal contracts, but when the strike was called they went out to a maz, and now not one of them is working for this concern. Seeing the unanimity of the men, the owner of the United Shoe Rebuild- ing company called the police and had Pascal Cosgrove, organizer of the NE MYERS N IOWA JOIN DRIVE FOR WAGE CUTS Demand Miners Return to the 1917 Scale By J. E. SNYDER. (Special to The Daily Worker.) CENTERVILLE, IOWA, April 14.— The mine owners of lowa are making claims that West Virginia, Kentucky and other non-union coal being ship- ped into this state is causing them to shut down their mines and that they will have to stay shut down unless the miners are willing to come down to the 1917 scale of $5.00 per day. The miners are wondering about this clain® Many of them think it only a part of the nation-wide open shop drive and the statement is made at this time to educate the public to help finish the job of driving the miners back to work at the reduced scale when th@y have been locked out long enough. 5,000 Miners Jobless. Just a few I met think that the big non-union mines are really putting these small mine owners out of busi- ness and killing two birds with one chunk of West Virginia scab coal. Anyhow there are five thousand miners out of employment, and more mines shutting down every day, mer- chants are in dispair and traveling men are leaving town without orders. Even the politicians are concerned and thought we should soft peddle our speeches so as not to interfere with a “settlement.” The farmers are being educated as usual to blame the slump in grain prices on the high wages of the miners who force the mine owners to shut down their mines. This same bunch of easy marks believed the story of the merchants’ and manu- facturers’ associations when that bunch of high binders peddled the propaganda that the “child labor amendment would take their child- ber, from them and turn them over to ean, and. forbid the farmer allow- his children to do home before and after school or even helping the old man during the sum- mer vacation.” | Thousand Miners Leave District. A thousand miners are reported to have left the district in the vicinity of Centerville, Iowa, going largely to the big cities, such as Chicago and Detroit. Two of these are reported to have returned after a two thousand mile trip in search of a job and report that conditions are as bad or even worse elswhere than here, if that were possible. They report that the jobs are all taken and thousands every where hunting for work. Plutes Inspect Boys The Chicago Boy’s Week Federa- tion, run by business men, will in- spect Chicago boys from 14 to 18 years old, and will select the boy, who, from the business men’s point of view, will be “America’s most va- luable citizen in 1950.” The children of workers are expected to get scant consideration in this “inspection.” Just Another Spring Rumor. Shoe Workers’ Protective Union, and Mike Tesky, one of the pickets, ar- rested for interfering with his “busi- ness.” They were both released un- der $500 bail each, and their cases will come up in the Jefferson court. Meanwhile the strikers’ lines are standing firm, the “United” shops are picketed, and if the boss wants to resume repairing shoes he will have to deal with the Shoe Workers’ Pro- tective Union.

PARIS, April 14.— Aristide Briand, seven times premier of France, has refused to accept the premiership be- cause of the action of the socialist congress in refusing to enter the cabi- net he was forming, it was said this afternoon. On leaving the chamber at 6:20 o’clock this evening, Briand said: Briand advised Doumergue to sum- mon Painleve as the man best quali- fied to actin the crisis.

The meeting was called to take place for two o'clock, but long before this time the miners began to gather. Tom Parry, who’ opened the meeting as chairman, said the present deplor- able circumstances of the miners cap only be understood by investigating cause and effect. We-all: know the etrects because we have felt them, but in order to understand the cause we must go back to the strike of 1919. He then proceeded to show how this and all other attempts of the rank and file to better -their. conditions and strengthen their position was blocked by the machine. Finally the three-year agreement, which mainly is respon- sible for the present condition of the miners, was saddled on their backs.

All of these “crimes” are tT a is it perfectly legal right of every Itizen of the United States.

- RAGING AMONG ‘GLECHO-SLOVAKS City of Prague Taxes Catholic Parents PRAGUE, Czecho-Slovakia, April 14 —There is a religious war going on in Czecho-Slovakia, scarcely less vio-7 lent than the orie which was recently liquidated in France by the complete surrender of the socialists to the vati- can. Under the old Austrian empire the catholic priests were state employes. Owing to the numerical strength of the catholics, the republic felt itself obliged to continue this: policy in part. The government of Edouard Benes, foreign minister, is based on a coalition between the socialists, na- tional socialists, national democrats, farmers’ party and catholics. Benes is now trying to get rid of the latter from his government bloc so that he can accomplish the separation of church and state, without losing his official head. The workers of Prague, impatient over the dilatoriness of Benes took the bull by the horns a few weeks ago and passed a law imposing spe- cial religious taxes on catholic par- ents. Commission on Miracles. One of the recent contributions to the gayety of nations was the estab- lishment of a commission to deter- mine whether the preservation of the tongue of St. John of Nepemuth was genuine or not. The catholic church has made considerable money out of John’s tongue. The saint was the confessor of Wenel II, who was a jeal- ous o]d dog. The king pressed the saint to divulge the secrets told by his wife in the confessional, regard- ing her love affairs. When the priest refused, the monarch cast him over a bridge. When the saint was dug out of his grave 300 years afterwards, a tongue was found among the remains. The story does not say whether the tongue was wagging or not. However, John was canonized. How the commission can deter- mine whether the miracle is genuine or not is a problem. SUPREME COURT RULES FOR “OPEN SHOP’ BUILDERS WASHINGTON, D. C., April 14.— The United States supreme court made another one of its many rulings in favor of the employers when it re- fused to intervene in the suit charging San Francisco builders with violating the Sherman anti-trust law. The build- ers, it was claimed, combined to force the building contractors to operate on a non-union “open shop” basis, and withheld supplies from union con- cerns. “The government is powerless to in- tervene unless material restraint of interstate commerce is shown,” Was the court’s ruling. The supreme court denied a rehear- ing to the Pennsylvania Mining com- pany in a suit claiming treble damages from the United Mine Workers’ Union for “property damage” in the Arkan- sas strike. Different Dose of Democracy for Private Soldier and Capitalist (Continued from page 1) Union, which has the benefit of highly | trained counsel, points out in protest- ing to Washington that the sentences were grossly excessive and that Amer- ican soldiers have the legal right to'| belong to the Workers (Communist) Party and to believe in the Soviet form of government. “These men are being improperly tried for their po- litical views,” the Union states. Looking beyond the fate of the radical enlisted men, the interesting thing in the Tribunes exhibition is its capacity to hurrah for freedom in one line and to combat it savagely in the next. This open contradiction is the result of its pretense of independence altho sold to the hilt to the financial interests. A pacifist from Hungary gives this type of paper a chance to cater to liberal readers. But freedom among capitalism’s hired fighters is different.

Parry, in showing the fallacy of this argument, showed how the miners are now paying the price with unempléyment, etc. Watt Talks of Machine Rule. John Watt, the second speaker, pointed out that the condition of the miners as well as the miners’ union was sinking lower and lower and un- less the rank and file made a deter- mined stand, sooner or later the union would be totally destroyed by the methods of the machine. It is the policy of those in power in the miners’ union not only in District No. 12, but the national or- ganization as well to get rid of all the best fighters in the U. M. W. of A., Watt pointed out. He showed how the machine ousted Howat, Meyers- cough, McLachlan and others for no other reason than that they fought for the interests of the rank and file. Thompson Makes Great Speech. Freeman Thompson covered the sit- uation in detail, giving documentary evidence of the corruption and mis- leadership of the Farrington machine. Thompson spoke for over one hour, but interest was sustained thru out. It was the hottest day of the year and all those present had to stand thru- out the speaking. Nevertheless, hard- ly a man left before the meeting had ended. Thompson finished his talk with a ringing call to action. His. appeal was met with extended cheers from the audience. It was the battle cry of thousands of outraged miners in this sub-district and it will be heard not only in the state of IIli- nois, but its echo will carry to every nook and hamlet thruout the United States where there are any rank and file miners. —— POLISH WHITE GUARDS FAIL T0 STOP RADWANSKI “Orders from Higher Up,” Says Cop (Special to The Daily Worker.) CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 14.—Des- pite unheard of efforts of the white guard Polish agents in Cleveland, act- ing in combination with the police de- partment to break up Comrade Rad- wanski’s protest meeting against the atrocious white terror against the working class of Poland, the meeting was very successful. In fact the white guard opposition only aroused the spirit of the audience.

At once he opened his mouth and began to attack Rakwanski the Polish work- ers in the audiance rose up on all sides to denounce him as a fake labor leader and an enemy of the worker's. They shook their fists under his nose so menacingly that he changed his mind about making any extended ora- tion and subsided.

SYDNEY, Nova Scotia, April 14.— John L. Lewis, president of the Unit- ed Mine Workers, is in Nova Scotia supposedly to “aid” the strikers of District 26 against the British Empire Steel corporation (Besco) who struck following a practical lockout put on by the company to force wage reduc- tions. The best John L. is doing, however, is to compliment Premier Armstrong for calling a conference to talk about the conflict. The conference. will doubtless recommend some scheme of class collaboration. It is to be held at Halifax, and Lewis, in taking the sycophantic attitude toward the pro- vincial government is following his habit of always bowing and scraping lackey-like before government author- ity even when it is sending troops against his union members. In the nation-wide strike of the miners in the United States Lewis gave up when Judge Anderson issued an injunction, saying “We cannot fight against the government.” This is the method he is following here instead of demanding that the government save the lives of the starving miners as a measure of public protection by seizing the mines and putting the min. ers to work under’ union management at the union scale. Teachers’ Salaries Discussed In Star Chamber Session ee of education went into secret session yesterday afternoon considering the new teachers’ salary schedule. All morning the finance committee talked about titles and increase of salaries of individuals in the superintendent's and business manager’s offices.

When this motion was being put thru Miss Margaret Haley of the Chicago Teachers’ Federation re- quested the floor and made the sug- gestion that the motion include a clause that the board’s representative will receive his instructions from the board of education and not from the superintendent with reference to the She argued that since the superintendent has withdrawn from the teachers the right to take leave of absence to go to Springfield to work for teachers’ bills, the teachers would be compelled to depend on the board representa- tive for their lobbying. She was ruled out of order by the chairman, Trustee Julius Smetanka. Proposed “Improved” Conditions Reveal _ Shanghai Slavery SHANGHAI, China, April 14.—The whole caboodle of tax payers of the city are being called in by the muni- cipal council to see if they (the tax payers) will agree to an ordinance | forbidding child labor in the textile mills. Things are so fixed that it will require a full quorum of the tax pay- ers present to make any action effec- tive. If these take a notion to boycott their annual meeting, or to vote against the measure, child slavery will continue. There are 22,000 children under ten years of age now working in the mills. These are the only ones covered by the proposal, altho tens of thousands more from ten upward are among the mill workers. After four years of the proposed measure, it provides that 12 years shall be the minimum age. The conditions of the Shanghai tex- tile workers are atrocious. Bven the proposed bill, put out as it is to pla- cate the workers and compromise ‘“y effort to stop the spread of union- ism, provides for a 12-hour day and seven days a week with only one day off every two weeks. These are the “improved” conditions the Brit- ish territorial government is trying to set up as a “precedent for all China.” Probe Freight Rate Boost.

WASHINGTON, April 14—oOf course there is nothing to this Japan- ese of] concession, secured from Rus- sia in the Russo-Japanese recognition treaty, to worry the Coolidge admin- istration. The White House has spent the week making that perfectly clear. If Japan has secured a naval oil sup- ply at her own door, and if the Sov- iet Union has thereby made itself pop- ular in Japan, and if American pres- tige in the Far Hast is thereby some- what dimmed, what of it? True, the administration is deeply eoncerned that American companies should get as many foreign oil flelds as possible. The race for oil is the race on which, apparently, depends the future commercial conquest of the world. Sinclair had an even better concession from the Soviets, in Russ- fan Saghalien, than has now been giv- en the Japanese. An American com- pany has a still stronger cinch on an oil field in China. Sinclair After Recognition. Sinclair has until January, 1928— so he contends in a brief filed with the state department—to make good his concession in Saghalien. He de- nies that the recent decision of a Moscow court that he has forfeited his privilege by failure to overcome Japanese refusal to permit him to bore for oil, is binding. If the admin- istration were to recognize the Soviet Union, Sinclair might get half of that Saghalien oil. Must Recognize Russia. Sinclair’s concealed press bureau has brought up the fact that Japan is already indignant because the Amer- ican grand fleet is starting maneuvers off Hawali. It has reminded thé pub- lic that Japanese-American relations were strained by the unfairness of the immigration ban, and that only the gentlest tone on the part of the United States can avert a serious dispute with Tokyo. It has shown that Am- erican interests threatened by Japan cannot be protected unless the Wash- ington government either makes friends with Russia or takes a chance of war with the Japanese. Wilson Monarchist His Lawyer. Former Secretary Lansing, who now _ appears as Sinclair’s lawyer, has filed a formal brief and warious other writ- ten arguments with the state depart- ment. He has been conspicuous as a friend and entertainer of Russian monarchist refugees, and hence his appeal to the department cannot be tainted with any love for the Soviet Union. He speaks as a business law- yer, for American business interests that are hungry for profits from oil fields in the Russian Far East. ‘Doheny, when trying to get around the Mexican revolutionary constitu- tion and save his oil wells in Mexico, employed McAdoo as his agent. Sin- clair, dealing with a reactionary ad- ministration operated by an admirer of Morgan and Mellon gives a retain- er to Lansing. Of course, Coolidge is rot to be influenced in his hostility to Soviet Russia. But business is busi- ness especially when it is the oil busi- ness. Borah Urges Treaty. Sen. Borah has held secret confer- ences with Coolidge and his secretary of state, discussing with them the danger of further delay in recognizing the Soviet Union, it is reported here. Borah has, beyond question, been talking with Coolidge in this subject. He has pointed out the significance of Japan’s getting a fuel supply for her navy right at her door, and has not failed to point out that the immi- gration dispute has made it very dif- ficult for Washington to approach Tokyo in a threatening tone just at present. If Saghalien oil is to be shared by American companies, the road to that happy end is thru recog- nition of Moscow and a business-like talk with the practical men in the Soviet government. It is wholly un- likely that Borah has talked with Kellogg, who has no power of decis- jon on policies. Judge Shoots Self. BRISTOL, Tenn., April 14.—Judge Joseph L.

WOLFE. / (Special to The Daily Worker) MEXICO CITY.: (Weekly Letter.)—A new impetialier would like to enter into the Mexicon field to embarrass the United States rather than to dispute seriously the possession of the rich mineral resources of Mexico. The Japanese government, seeing the inevitability of a war with the United States is looking for alliances in Latin-America to annoy its enemy Curiously enough, it is entering the field in truly American fashion under an idealistic banner. The Japanese government has intimated that it would Latin-America against American im- perialism. Naturally, the anti-imperialist move- ment of Latin-America which is organ- izing under the banner of the Pan- American Anti-Imperialist League. re- jects the aid of Japanese imperialism. That will not prevent the American papers and even the American serv- ants in the government of Mexico from calling the anti-imperialist move- ment “pro-Japanese” when the Amer- ico-Japanese situation gets serious. Results of American Propaganda The anti-Japanese and anti-Chinese agitation in Mexico is the answer of American propaganda to Japanese. In certain states it is favored by econ- omic conditions—in the west the pro- blem of cheap Chinese labor, in Tam- pico competition between small Mex- ican industries and Chinese industries, and in general the competition be- tween the Spanish grocery owners and the Chinese and Japanese (the Mexicans own almost no groceries). The Spanish speaking the same lan- guage as the Mexicans, are taking ad- vantage of the agitation to deal the much more competent and successful Chinese and Japanese grocers a death blow. | * 2 .

The labor movement is supporting them and the schools are closed. . * °® Obregon Goes to Europe It is reported that ex-President Obregon is going to Europe as extra- ordinary envoy of Mexico. It is also rumored that he will seek alliances and capital investniénts to partially offset American control of Mexico. * * Want Men Who Won't Sell Out The frankness of the leaders of the Mexican Federation of Labor tm their policy of class collaboration, prevent- ion of strikes, expulsion of Commun- ist and other militants, and fascisti nationalist unionism is beginning to arouse opposition in some of its most powerful unions. .In .Tampico it has lost control of. the unions which have formed “the united front” as it is called there, a local organization of all unions of thé port of Tampico which pays no attention ‘to the lead- ers of the federation. Im Veracruz the new Federation of Sea and Land Workers, affiliated with the Federa- tion of Labor, adopted a resolution de- claring that its activity is based on the class struggle. In Orizaba, the lar- gest textile center of Mexico, and home of yellow unionism, Pro-Paria, local organ of the unions there, anger- ed by the declaration of Moneda, na- tional secretary of the federation, that he would fight unauthorized strikes, has published two editorials attacking the present leadership of the organi- zation, and demanding the substitu- tion of men “who will not seli out when they get into power.” Heedless of these growing warn- ings, the leaders of the Federation of Labor continue their plans to ham- string their own unions and destroy the independent ones such as the port workers of Tampico, the railroaders, etc. * ¢« ¢ Minister of the Treasury Alberto Pani has been the object of heavy attack during the past week in one of the supposedly administration papers here El Globo. Not only he, but the whole treasury department and the famous Lamont- de la Huerta treaty which recognizes the debts of Mexico to the American and European bankers, puts Mexico under a sort of modified Dawes plan, obligates it to pay over a billion dol- lars, indemnify property injured in the revolution, and return the govern- ment owned railroads to private hands. Only Bargaining Every feature of the treaty has been attacked in one or another of the papers. Curiously enough, the big con- servative daily El Universal has been carrying attacks against the return of the railroads, written by the Mexican minister to Italy. It is difficult to de- cide to what extent the government has been favoring the attack against the Lamont-de la Huerta treaty in an effort to get more favorable conditions for its bankrupt treasury, from the American bankers.

TAOISSAYE OLGIN 10 SPEAK IN RUSSIAN IN CHICAGO, FRIDAY What promises to be one of the most interesting lectures given in Chicago in the Russian language Is the lecture to be given by Comrade Moissaye Oljgin, co-editor of the Russian Communist daily, Novy Mir. He will speak at the Workers’ Home (formerly the Soviet School), 1902 W. Division St., on Friday, April 17, at 8 p. m., on “What did the Russian Revolution Give to the Workers and Peasants?” Comrade Olgin was in Russia a few times during the revolution as delegate to the Comintern. He is the author of “The Soul of the Russ- ian Revolution,” and other works about the revolution. He is an ex- cellent speaker and it is expeoted that he will draw a big crowd of those who understand the Russian language. Admission is only 25 cents. one against the minister of the treas- ury, President Calles had to answer defending his minister and attacking the administration paper and its edi- tor. It is generally accepted that Pani is the go-between for the American bankers and the Calles government and this may have somethink to do with Calles’s public defense of him and the repudiation of the attacks. Rall Strike Inevitable The deficit in the national railroads for the first six months of 1924 was a million and three-quarters in Amer- ican dollars. As the Mexican govern- ment by the Lamont-de la Huerta treaty has pledged itself to return these raliroads to American owners, they must reduce the deficit. To do this they are abolishing passes, re- ducing personnel and salaries and pre- paring to break the railway unions. The leaders of the Mexican Federa- tion of Labor, faithful as ever to the government, are preparing to aid this destruction of the rail unions. All other forces in the country, independ- ent unions, Communists and even the unions of the federation which are not entirely servile to the leadership are preparing to help the railwaymen, The strike is inevitable altho the gov- ernment is cleverly delaying it and demoralizing the rail unions by fan- tastic attacks and partial retredts. The strike will be decisive for the whole labor movement of Mexico. e * - America’s Stranglehold On Mexico Since 1918 claims for over 200 mil- lion dollars have been made against Mexico for damages to property caused by the revolution, without counting claims presented this year.

The third will appear at an early date.) ee 6 (Special to The Daily Worker.) OKLAHOMA, CITY, Okla., April 14. —One of the bitterest, most credulous and persistent enemies of Soviet Rus- ‘| sia and the Communist philosophy in + Oklahoma is Waldo G. Clegg, editorial echo for Congressman M. C. Garber at Enid. Hach day Clegg “dishes up opinions” for the Enid news and Daily Eagle. First of all, an explanation of his circumstances is not amiss. Congressman Garber, an old schoo) republican machine politician and Clegg’s employer, seems to have one pet obsession which is a fear that the American working class some time will abandon its unprotesting accept- ance of custom and tradition, refuse to follow its present leaders—the rich men who “farm” and exploit it—and break the economic and political po- wer of these ancient worthies, Garber is rated a millionaire and probably would be a supremely hoppy man but for the shadow of Soviet Russia with its flaming, red banner—emblem of human brotherhood—which crosses his path by day and possibly inter- sperses his slumbers with horrible nightmares. Garber is afraid to attack the ku klux klan thru his papers, but Zino- viev, Kamenev and other Soviet chief. tains, with the “iron legions of the proletariat” behind them, are at Moscow—a long distance from Okla- homa—so Garber concentrates all his class hate and Venom on them. For such a capitalist master Clegg is the ideal tool. When the DAILY WORKER'S learned that Clegg, altho compelled trinated with the beliefs of the big rich. the usual rin of shopworn misrepre thought processes. or were blindmess to overtake him, Garber his millionaire employer, pro- bably would not have any further use for him.

Bald- win and seven Paterson silk strikers, says a statement by Baldwin. The director of the American Civil Liberties Union intended to read his statement in open court before sentence was pronounced but this privilege, usually accorded prisoners, was denied by Justice Delaney of the court of common pleas.

Tikhon was arrested by the Soviet government, when, during the year of the famine, he refused to give up church treasures to feed the dying famine victims. In spite of his crime against the starving workers, Tikhon was well treated, having a room to himself in the Donskoy monostary. Tikhon was released when he promised not to fight the Soviet government. SEE THE BEAUTY AND THE BOLSHEVIK TONIGHT Wicker Park Theater 1539 Milwaukee Ave. Near Robey St. From 6 to 11 P. M.

This indict- ment would clearly never have been brought unless this assemblage had been held by the strikers to get their rights. “I venture to say that the police would not even have interfered with the strike meetings had they been conducted by an American Federation of Labor union with its powerful po- litical and industrial backing. But because these strikers happened to belong to an independent union with- out affiliations elsewhere, and are chiefly aliens, they were, easy to at- tack. Furthermore, the strike issue was aggravated by the ‘red bogey’ of Communism and revolution, because the strike committee was assisted by a representative of the Workers Party from New York. Yet none of these factors offers any moral or legal justi- fication for the action of the police. Incident in Long Struggle. “This trial is of course, merely an incident in the long struggle of the working class for the rights to organ- ize and strike. In this struggle the police almost everywhere side with the propertied employing interests as against the workers. We were there- fore not unprepared for the conduct of the police. We have not ever looked to them to protect anyone's rights. But we hoped that your hon- or’s decision might: be in conformity with our conception of our constitu- tional liberties.

Page Thre: IRISH WORKERS SCORE IN NORTH IRELAND POLLS Carry Red Flags Thru Belfast Streets BELFAST, Ireland, April 14.—The outstanding result of the recent elec tions in Northern Ireland is the elec tion of three labor party candidates, comprising the entire labor ticket. The three successful candidates are: Wm. McMullan, secretary of the Irish Transport and General Work- ers’ Union in Belfast; Sam Kyle and Jack Beattie. With red flags carried; aloft and singing revolutionary songs composed by James Connolly and other working class poets, the work- ers of this most exploited industrial inferno marched thru the streets ce: ebrating their victory. Red Fiag Cheered. The sight of a red flag, would have caused a riot here until recently, but the banner of labor was cheered on all sides by the men and women of the slums and the factories. The big losses in the elections were for the unionists and the republicans, the latter winning only two seats, the they had ten in the last parliament. Those seats were lost to the nation. alists who under the leadership of Joseph Deviln, former Redmond sup- porter, now constitute the most nwu- merically important opposition in the northern parliament. Seven unionist officials were defeated. Industrial Bel- fast went strongly against the reac tionary Craig slate while the country went as strongly for him. Abstention Policy Blamed. The abstention policy of De Valers is considered responsible for the loss of seats sustained by his party. The labor victory has increased the morale of the workers in this stronghold of bigotry and religious rancor. The election of a Transport Union official is expected to have the effect of breaking down the prejudices of many Orange workers against the labor un- ion that the “Fenian” James Connolly laid the groundwork for.

Clare without meeting two or three funeral a day. People of Clare he ‘said ‘were today séeing black, tomorrow they might see red, and god help the coun- try then. He blamed the government for muzzling the voice of the,.organ- ized farmers of Ireland, and demanded that sonfething be done as they were face to face with plague. So speaks the bourgeois farmer to the bourgeois Free State. Relieve us he says of government charges, declare a mora- torium. It looks more as if the areas in-, volved would themselves become 4a mortuary. Maybe the Irish in Amer- ica ahd elsewhere will forget the pol- tical interests that are served either by exposure or concealment of the misery rampant in Irish homes, such as they are in the coast of Mayo, Gal- way and Donegal. Damn the politic- jans, succour the sufferers, I ‘have per- sonally visited Killybegs, Kilcar, Tel- lin, Glencolumbkille, Ardara, right to Dungloe in Donegal and it is hunger, hunger all the way. Only last week I visited Mayo, from Ballina thru Bally- castle to Portacloy, it is one long tale of unrequited toil, disastrous seasons; no crops to reap; no seed to sow; hunger and misery now, misery and hunger next year, unless food, fyel and seed can be provided. The Workers’ International Relief, has started relief work in Donegal and Mayo, and*food, fuel and clothing has been and is being distributed in Por- tacloy, Stonefield, Carratigue, Corn- boy, Killalagdra, Ballycastle and Bal- lina in Mayo, and also around ancient Tirconnail and Glencolumbkille. Only the fringe has been touched, but the villagers overwhelm us with thanks for even that little. We need seed potatoes, seed corn, flour, meal, milk, sugar, tea and clothing. Lives will be lost if response is not immediate. Workers of all lands unite to allevi- ate’ the desperate plight of our Irish fellow workers. 4 odDr. A. Moskalik -.«, DENTIST ‘8. .W.

England mills manufacturing coarser goods. Finally, textile unions in Philadelphia in the branches at all organ- Open Shop Maneuvers. The Upholstéry Workers’ Union, Lo- cal No. 25, United Textile Workers, is one of the old, large unions. Until the last few years Philadelphia has manufactured about 95 per cent of the upholstering material of the United States. Lately upholstery manufac- turers have put factories in outlying towns where native labor is cheaply secured, This tendency of decentral- ization has not yet developed enough to alarm the union, but watch is be- ing kept and recently an invéstigator for the union surveyed the entire out- of-town upholstering field. Introduce Speed Methods. Union upholstery shops usé only one weaver to a loom, George Creech, secretary of the union, asserts, but non-union shops outside sof Philadel- phia are system. Women winders and spool- ers are organized with men weavers in the upholstery union, which is part of the textile council. Hosiery knit- ters, hosiery borders, surgical knit- ters, loomfixers, warpers, warp dress- ers’ unions comprise the rest of the council. Have Powerful Union. With the increasing vogue of silk hosiery for women, the Full Fashioned Hosiery Workers’ Union, of the United Textile Workers, has doubled its mem- bership since 1920. Philadelphia is the center of the industry, altho the Reading, Pa. Other mills in nearby Pennsylvania towns have branches of the union. According to Gustav Geiges secretary of, Local 706, union shops have only one man to one machine. Since the 1921 strike the union has | controlled 75 per cent to 80 per cent of the industry. Most of the workers are young men and ‘pits? The lat- ter may average $28 & week and work is fairly steady thruout thé year. Skill- ed piece workers maké ‘up to $40. Seamiess Work Cheaper. Seamless hostery workers have had a union but it has deéined.

It follows: Resolution Agaigst Child Labor. “Whereas, the: physical and moral well-being of the working class youth of this country is being destroyed thru the brutal exploitation of children in the mines, mills, factories and sweat- } shops to create larger profits for the bosses; “Therefore be it resolved: we demand the immediate ratification by the state legislatures of the child labor amendment to the constitution and that congress, shall immediately pass a law prohibiting the labor of children under eighteen years of age; and be it “Further resolyed, that, since the child labor amendment is meaningless without government maintenance of the school children of the workers and poor farmers, the state and fed- eral legislatures shall pass a law pro- viding full government maintenance of all school children of workers and poor farmers, the funds for this pur- pose to come from special taxes on high incomes; and be it “Further Resolved, that the trade unions repeal from their constitutions all discriminatory clauses against equal rights in. the unions of young workers; also that the admission fees and dues be boy lower for young workers to e ble them to become members of é unions which will thereby become strengthened in their struggles against the bosses; and be it “Further resolved, to call upon all other working dass organizations to unite with us im’a common political 1921 open shop drive of employers laid it low.

This shows real interest in the because the branches have acting DAILY WORKER agents and because these are guided by an active city agent who in the first campaign last year showed how well it could be done.
