The toiling masses of China demand that the imperialists get out of China and let the Chinese people develop freely their own Ives and manage themselves their own affairs. But, the rapacious imperialists of America, England, Japan, and France, the capitalist powers that are holding China in their grip, refuse to accede to the rightful demands of the Chinese people. Foreign imper- ialism is determined to hold on to China by sheer force, by jailing, perse- cution, and wholesale murder. Already many workers and students have been killed by the agents of foreign imperialism in Shanghai, Hanken, Cindaw, and many other places where the Chinese masses have ‘dared to demand the right to their own country. „At this very moment the impgpiatists of England, and Japan, are carrying on a joint military intervention to subdue the revolt of the Guiness masses. _Thte means war. This means the sacrifice of thous- the altar of eapitatism and imperialiam. it means more euflertie and misery for the masses of England, America, France, and Japan, as well as for the people of China. The situation demands united action of all working class forces in support of the just demands of the Chinese people. The labor move- ment of the United States is vitally interested in the success of the strug- gies of the Chinese workers against their capitalist exploiters as well as in the struggles of the Chinese people for national freedom and independence. Realizing the gravity of the situation and the duties that it imposes upon the labor movement of the United States, the All-American, Ant, Imperialist League, the Workers (Communist) Party of America, and the Trade Union Educational League call upon the trade unions, the socialist party; and all other organizations of workers and poor farmers to join hands for common action in support of the struggles of the Chinese people. We propose the calling of united front conferences of all labor and other organizations favoring the cause of the Chinese masses to organize and lead this campaign. We propose that all forces of labor, irrespec- tive of political aims or affiliations, join hands for common action in sup- port of the following demands: THE WITHDRAWAL FROM CHINA OF THE IMPERIALISTS AND THEIR ARMED FORCES, THE CANCELLATION OF ALL TREATIES HUMILIATING TO CHINA, AND THE CANCELLATION OF THE EXTRA-TERRITORIAL RIGHTS FOR FOREIGNERS.

BELLIT (Worker Correspondent) LOS ANGELES, July 3.—The Cen- tral Labor Council of Los Angeles, re- fused to participate in the mobiliza- tion program of Defense Day July 4th. John Horn, secretary of the Central Labor Council, pleaded for the De- fense Day. He made a motion that all the delegates should officially re- present organized labor of Los Ange- les at the parade; furthermore he want that the communication of the war department should be published in The Citizen, official weekly of the Central Labor Council. During his speech he did not over- look to remind the delegates that 10 Communists were expelled of the council due to their disloyalty and unpatriotic attitude. He also threat- ened should the council decide con- trarily to his motion. He himself as an individual would attend the parade. In reply to that the delegate of the Cigar Makers’ Union Local No. 225 said, “Should you decide to fine one hundred dollars, I shall refuse to take part in that shameless imperialist parade.” He also pointed out that war is always the rich man’s sport where the poor man is the looser. Other delegates opposed the motion. When a vote was taken, the results was as follows: 24 for the motion, and 27 against, approximately about 25 have not voted at all. organized labor of Los Angeles is the Defense Day parade, against war, against the imperialistic operations of Sec’y. of War Weaks. John Horn is a little bit in despair, he had seen that when he goes too far, then, his own fellowers are turn- ing away from him. * - = PA -— e the Date! J. W.

Standing Firmly for R Real Union (ende tree from page 1) bunches of detectives with their ma- chine guns and riot clubs and billies and the private sluggers in droves, the already small number Of scabs is being whittled down. The strikers manage to talk with them in one lan- guage or another and put forth con- vincing argument against scabbing. Scabs Have Gay Time. Twelve of these smelly United Gar- ment scabs were let out of the back door into the alley, lined up like prisoners surrounded by 15 cops and a squad of sluggers, marched like priseners out into the street along the gutter of one block, into the alley on the next block and by devious route into the elevated station. Thére the cops tried to stop the pickets from entering until the scabs were safely flown, but one woman managed to have a chat with one scab, who was so interested that he went away and forgot his hat, which wasn’t worth much except for cow feed, however. The outside contract firms that used to make many of the firms’ order have shut off doing so, and at the meeting Friday night of shop chairmen, in- structions were issued to stop all at- _|tempts to get the scabby firms orders made in other shops. The morale of the strikers is ex- cellent and they are determined to see the fight thru, in spite of All po lice brutality, there being nine arrests Thursday and many clubbings by the police, one striker being . knocked down with the butt end of a gun. Among those arrested were M. Weiss, M. Ziccarelli and Mike Florida. Have to Fight Class War.

They will tell you this stuff on Saturday, but when you come down to the shop on Monday you will get slugged and arrested for your share of liberty and democracy. * General Organizer Grandinatti, just came from St. Louis, told the strikers here of the strike there against the Curlees Company and what the strike meant for the union, and an official of Local 39 pledged that the 12,000 members of that local would stand by the International strikers to the point of going on strike if necessary to aid them, Up to Chicago Federation. The strikers are waiting impatiently to see what will be the response of the labor unions of the Chicago Feder- ation of Labor next Sunday to the scabbing agreement of the United Garment Workers crew headed by George C.

London Imperialism Tries to Blame the Soviets for Its Woes (Continued from page 1) ing, class over the head of Lord Birkenhead warns that Soviet Russia is aware of the war threat behind the maneuver of Britain. Austen Chamberlain, foreign min- ister, is more shrewd than Birkenhead and fears to venture upon the road to war with what amounts to the work- ing class of the world. But—even Chamberlain says that Britain “will take whatever steps are necessary to protect British interests.” Regarding the’ charges that Soviet Russia is directly aiding the Chinese liberation movement, dispatches from Moscow state that Tchitcherin has de- clared in an official statement that while the workers and peasants of Russia are on the side of the Chinese in their struggle for complete libera- tion from foreign domination, the Soviet government has a policy of avoiding any action which could be regarded as intervention in China’s affaire.

Mother Bloor, former General Or- ganizer of the United Cloth Hat & Cap Makers, now touring the country for the DAILY WORKER, received a great ovation from the strikers at their meeting on Thursday morning, where she appeared, very unexpect- edly, and addressed them—on the fun- damental principles of their great union—solidarity of all workers in the shop, without regard to color, race nationality or creed. She showed how the standards of living both mental and physical, had been uplifted by the power of the workers themselves. That union men and women do things for themselves, do not ask charity in any form. Good union men and women are self-respecting workers with an inter- est in there own class, their own life, and their fellew workers. Brother Oliver is doing good work as manager of the strike and is ably assisted by some of the women organ- izers. One feature of this strike is the great activity of the women workers. They are just as strong as when the fight first started, and Are out to win recognition of the union and union conditions for their shop in spite of police brutality, in spite of Curlee’s determination to make open shop con- ditions, and even in spite of the in- junction issued againgt the picketing. They are good ve and know what they want. o ASK FEDERAL WRIT TO HALT SCOPES’ TRIAL Clarance Darrow has announced that a federal injunction will be asked Monday to restrain in the state of Tennessee from prosecuting John „ Scopes. This means that, if the don is granted, the widely heralded “evolu- tion trial” will not take place July 10 in Dayton as scheduled.’ Instead the case will be one merely of local technicalities, without wit- nesses being called and without the subject of evolution itself being dis- cussed, and will be held before a fed- eral court. “A favorable decision in our peti- tion for an injunction will save Mr. Scepes from trial,” said Darrow “and will be a very detrimental influence upon further prosecutions in Tennes- see and upon further passage of si- milar ‘Gag Laws’ by other states.” MacMillan Hits Bad Weather, on Pole Trip, in Labrador WASHINGTON, July 3.—The flag- ship Bowdoin of the MacMillan Arctic expedition is lying at Battle Harbor, Labrador, awaiting the arrival of the airplane carrier Peary, said a radio | dispatch to the national geographic society this afternoon from Command- er Donald B.

This is something for the workers of the United States to think about on so-called “Defense Day,” July 4, 1925. It must be a day of defense of working class interests, a mile- stone of the growing offensive of the working class against the boss class, that ends in labor's victory. _ CHINESE ON BRITISH BOAT STRIKE (Continued from page 1.) and to communicate such news to the editors, I find such an instance ob- scurely concealéd in the Examiner of June 27. It says: “VICTORIA, British Columbia, June 26—After four days’ delay here, the Steamer “City of Van- couver”’ left Pler No. 1 for Austral- la manned with a white crew.

The ship laden with 4,750,000 feet of lumber, cleared for sea at 6 o'clock tonight, after recruiting the white crew.” To me three queries arise: How can these Chinese seamen be impris- oned who have left their boat safely in a port? What can be said of the „Superior“ Anglo-Saxons who scab on Chinese striking union seamen?

The widely extended lines of American imperialism reach out to all quarters of the earth as millions of American workers and farmers celebrate the founding of this nation just 150 years ago. The United 2 yo ee won its freedom trom Gineat: Pian den colonial provinces, with a thin fringe of mam Wong the Atlantic coast, decreed ' © gain and maintain it. is 2 and rebellion. The diluted history tanght the strife and chaos of this period. The general assumption there- fore is that once the and prosperity reigned at We mention this 3 the moral justification for American s interventions in Haiti, Mexico, Santo Domingo, the Philippines, China, Russia, Cuba and other colonial and semi-colonial nations is that it is necessary to institute “law and order.” The theft of the natural resources, the enslavement of the popula- tion, the imposition of American dictatorships—open or disguised— 1 veiled by this camouflage and the cries and groans of the founded and dying victims of machine-gun democracy are drowned by the slogan of “Americanization.” Great masses of workers and farmers are coming to understand the hypocrital nature of the American ruling class. There is no longer any great enthusiasm created by schemes for extending the Wall Street empire and the erection of a huge military machine for its use. But imperialism dare not cease its efforts for militarization of the American masses. Its interests abroad are so huge now that their loss would mean the crippling of capitalism at home. It must strive ever fot greater conquests and more complete domination of | the colonial and native masses. a In Europe and in the Pacific American imperialism comes into con- flict with other great powers having similar ambitions—Great Britain and Japan. Sooner or later our rulers know that the imperialistic conflicts, the logical sequence of commercial competition can be settled only by war—commercial competition carried to its final stage. American Imperialism Prepares for War What else can mean the great naval maneuvers in American his- tory, the extension of the military training camp system, the division _. of the whole nation into army corps areas, the skeleton detachments of transportation and industrial units already set up, the allotment of tentative war-contracts to the capitalists in a dozen industries, the agitation for larger naval appropriations, the war-like speeches of the militarists, the flag-waving in the schools, the militarization of thousands of children in the Boy Scouts, and finally— ä The setting of July F- Independence day— as the date for a test mobilization of the armed forces of American imperialism! The national pride in the achievements of the colonial revolution- ists 150 years ago is to be diverted into channels that will serve the bloody purposes of the most powerful and brutal group of con- querors in the world today. Against the conspiracy of the imperialists the Workers (Com- munist) Party of America opposes the slogan of Unity of the Worlds Oppressed Peoples!” Against the rule of the war lords of Wall Street it raises the slo- gan of A Workers and Farmers Government!“ To the dictatorship of the capitalists it opposes the slogan of “The | Dictatorship of the Workingelass!“ The hypocrital pretense of “Defense of the Nation” it opposses the WAR OF ALL OPPRESSED PEOPLES AGAINST IM- PERIALISM. Hands off China! Hands off Mexico! Recognize Soviet Russia!

How tragic, that the flesh and blood of the workers should be used against the workers? What a pity that the workers not only produce surplus values for their mas- ters but they also give them their children for use either in fighting some competitors or fighting the workers themselves? Full of Hope or Full of Hop The bible says that “hope deferred maketh the heart sick” but the _ ezarist in France either never heard of the bibilical saying or else it means nothing to them. The latest contribution made to the gayety of nations by the Rus, sian monarchists, yellow socialists, democrats, and plain bandits who | inhabit the cellars and dives of Paris, Berlin and London, is the for- mation of a “national parliament” in Paris which is designed to sup- plant the Soviet government. On the roster of the committee organiz- ing this burlesque outfit are the names of men prominent in the Czarist regime when that gentleman existed. A few well known 480 cialists” are among them. Where are they getting the money to indulge in their anties? Much tho the Soviet government may appreciate innocent hilarity it is not likely that the pantomine is_financed from Moscow.

Thousands of copies of the DAILY WORKER have been distributed thru- out the country containing articles ex- posing the bosses “Defense Day” and exposing the profit grabbing domina- tion of imperialism.

Anti-Imperialist meetings have already been held on the Pacific coast, in Denver, St. Louis, Kansas City, De- troit, and many other cities. Worker Is Murdered MT.

Comrades: The Bolshevization of our Party and its future growth demand a quick and complete liquidation of the non-Communist tendencies of Loreism and Poyntzism.. This mandate of the Comintern is so specific and at the same munist conceptions supported that is absolutely m Her influence upom certain sec- time so universally aceepted by the party membership that there should be no difficulty in liquidating this tendency in the shortest possible time. Loreism and Poyntzism are one tendency. Poyntz has been the most consistent and militant exponent of non-Com- A policies in our party. She stands for an idevlogy acing to the healthy growth of a Communist Party. » Comrade Juliet Stuart tions of our New York organization is positively disintegrating. The Comintern has snarply con- m= demned the tendency represented by “Comrade Lore as a non-Communist tendncy.

He developed opportunistic concep- tiom regarding the Labor Govern- ment in England and the Hbrriot government in France. He has had a supercritical attitudé towards the Comintern and has ddvocated loose conceptions of discipline incompat- ible with real Bolshevik organiza- tions, as well as showing in his writ- ings in the Volkzeitung various other non-Communist deviations. In all these, he was _Supported aggressively by Comrade Poyntz, who was the most militant figure in the tendency. The Central Executive Committee is glad to state that due to recent developments in the party our mem- bership in New York is becoming fully conscious of the harmful infiu- ences of Poyntzism which is being combatted in a very effective man- ner. The Party ,cannot tolerate the op- portunistie manouvers of Comrade Poyntz. The Party hab a right to de- mand of every Party comrade abso- Party and the Communist Interna- «ee. * tional. This Comrade Poyntz obstin- ately refuses to do. Instead, she is playing a shallow game of diplomacy with the Comintern at the same time that she is carrying on a violent cam- paign against the Central Executive Committee of the Party. Her speech and misrepresentations are now be- ing circulated widely thru illegal channels in the Party. What is the decision of the C. I. regarding Loreism? The Cominterr demands the total liquidation of this tendency. With this demand the overwhelming majority of the Party is in full agreement. What does Comrade Poyntz do with the C. I. Uecision? She evades it. She has no courage to stand up and defend herself, nor is she Communist enough to admit frankly her oppor- tunistic mistakes and put herself in ‘ine with the C. I. policies. Instead, she attempts to crawl out from un- der the C. I. decision by the ridicul- ous assertion that there is no such thing as Loreism or a Lore group in our Party. Comrade Poyntz, the most energetic leader of the Lore group, denies the existance of Lore- ism. Such opportunistic manouvers and insincere diplomacy with the C.I. cannot and will not succeed in our Party. , For over 16 months Comrade: | leading the opportunists: et the porate was reststing syetematically | all the efforts. ‘of the Central Ex- ecutive Committee to Bolshevize the New York organization and to liqui- date the Lore group. The following are only a few of the outstanding. facts in the struggle of Comrade. Poyntz against the Party and the’ C. I. 1. She retused to accept the poli- cies of the Party for the bolsheviza- Party school in New York. She called it “fake” bolshevi- zation and was ultimately forced to}- tion of the resign her positien as ndipenter of the} tore the Plenum of the C. E. C. on school. 2. She sabotaged: and resisted all the efforts of the G. E. C. to break away from the Lore group its prole- ree elements 22 thus liquidate | the’ group. 3. She . ‘poisoned the minds of the membership with distrust towards the 0. * and * lea- dership. 4. She cemented aie solidified the right-wing Lore group in the bureau of the Jewish Federation, bolstering up its opposition to. the Party and to the C. I.; and Iast,. “Barak 5. She assumed the role of ide- ological leader of the opportunistic tendencies in the Commmnist frac- tion in the needle “trades, Unions in New York. The role of Comrade Tabus in thet needle trades ‘controversy is well known to the Party. At the time when the Party was making strenu- ous efforts to liquidate the opportun- istic tendencies of some of our com. rades in the needle trades, Comrade Poyntz made use of her position as a member. of the New York District Executive Committee to encourage the opportunistic. opposition to the Party, thus making it harder for the C. E. C. to establish correct Com- munist policies for the Communis‘ fractions in the needle trades unions. Comrade‘ Poyntz, as one of the most militant leaders of the Lore group, remained true to her ideology, Party. i. calistic, quences of the C. I. decision of Lore ism, Comrade Poyntz has been put- ting forth all kinds of ridiculous claims and assertions, First, she maintained that there was no Lore group in our Party. However, when ‘she found that this denial of the ex istance of a Lore group was more damning than a frank confession of guilt, Comrade Poyntz began putting forth another claim, namely, that she was all the time a loyal supporter of the C. E. C. majority’ As proof of this she cites her support of the C. E. C. majority at the last Party con- vention and also her support of the C. E. C. majority on the Labor Party issue. : According to her statements be- May 12th, and later on before the District Executive Committee of New York she always knew that the C. E. C. majority were “un-Marxian, syndi- opportunistic, and sectart- an.” In the same way she describes the C. E. C. thesis on the Labor Par- ty, and yet she found it possible, ac- ‘support the C. E. C. majority at the last Party convention, which she claims to have known to be syndi- calistic and opportunist, and to vote for the C. E. G. thesis on the Labor Party which she also claims to have known to be “sectarian and un-Marx- ian.“ In other words, by her own public admission, she has supported a, leadership and policies which she says she Believed were un-Marxian, syndicalist, opportunist, and sectari- ‘an. This admission of Comrade Poyntz is itself sufficient to discredit her claim of being a Communist. The Party and its Central Execu- tive Committee are determined to liquidate completely the tendencies of Lorism and Poyntzism. No amount of diplomacy and manouvering on the part of Comrade Poyntz will pre- vent the Party from remaining loyal to the policies and tactics of the Communist International. Loreism an Poyntzism must be liquidated. hey Workers Party of America Central Executive Wm. Z. Foster, Committee. C. E. Ruthenberg. In her attempt to evade me conse- mh —— Chairman.
