World imperialism, sensing the end of its reign, hoping to retrieve its control over the exploited masses of oppressed nationalities and the sweated proletariat in the home countries, is raising the cry “War Upon Soviet Russia,” threat- ening a new war in the hope of crushing the Workers’ and Peasants’ Soviet Government by ‘force of arms. Simultaneously, the rival interests of these imperialist robber powers, sets one group of im- perialist powers against the other. Unmistakeable signs of approaching war between Japan, cb allied to Britain, and the United States, grow more menacing every hour.

The delegation is at present in Tiflis, from where it will return thru Moscow to London. The Women's Delegation made a careful study of the condition of the workers, especially that of the women workers, and has collected rich material. Everywhere the delegation was greeted with en- Today the delegation was present at the enlarged plenum of the Georgian Trade Union council, where a member of the delegation, Bridge, declared * “If there were any doubts in our minds on our way to the Soviet Re- publics, our exhaustive study of the true position of the workers, the trade union movement and of the economic situation, has given us the deepest and firmest conviction that the pro- letariat in this country has made enor- mous acquisitions. “We have not yet returned to Eng- land, and yet we are already being attacked at home, But we will be courageous enough to tell the whole truth unreservedly about the situa- tion in the Soviet Union, and to de- stroy the base calumnies. We are not at all embarrassed When we are call- ed Bolsheviks. The British prole- tariat will stand shoulder to shoulder with the Russian working class.” The other members of the delega- tion spoke in the same spirit. Mary Quail, head of the delegation, said the following in connection with the recent ‘statement made by the British minister of the interior, Mr. Hicks, to the effect that the British Trade Union movement was being financed by Russia: “I am not a member of the British wer 5 Trade Union Minority movement, and I do not know whether the leaders of the minority are sending reports to Moscow. But even if it were so, it is none of Hicks’ business. The evolu- tion of the British Trade Unions is natural and can be prevented by noth- ing. Knowing the British trade union movement well; I declare Mr. Hicks’ statement in regard to the financing of this movement by Moscow, to be a base lie. The British Trade Unions are a thousand times more justified in accusing the British government of financing military expeditions against Soviet Russia. “The British government has spent many times more for these expedi- tlons than the Soviet Trade Unions would be able to offer to the British trade union movement, even if that were the case. Statements of the kind made by Hicks can only strengthen the British labor movement.” The British Women’s Delegation is planning, upon its return to issue a big report on the Soviet Union, par- ticularly on the position of the women Put Anti-Evolutionists in Jury Box in Russia.

His attorneys were caugt with their principal wit- nesses unsummoned and spent the forenoon sending frantic telegrams to a dozen prominent scientists, urging them to appear here Friday. In addi- tion, their failure to carry the case ‘into a federal court robbed them of the use of subpoenas and all their witnesses must be obtained thru “volunteers.” As each scientist to take the stand must face a scathing cross examination at the hands of William prosecuting attorneys, it was said, but few have accepted the defense’s invitation. Much speculation was rife here as to the future attitude of Clarence Dar- row and Bainbridge Colby toward the case. The defense announced that beth attorneys would appear on the scene within 48 hours, but rumors per- sisted that both might be missing when the case is called for trial. Make Up Jury.

ASTORIA, L. I., July 7-—1n my sec- ond article on working conditions in the Morey Company Machine Shop, I will take up the question of what we workers can gain in the way of better conditions in that shop thru organiza- tion. Sweat Shop Conditions. Let us consider our shop problems, fellow workers. Does our boss treat us like men living in the twentieth century? In the few minutes we have for eating our Junch, we cannot even find a bench to sit on, there is so much dirt and grease and parts of place. The slimy wet floor that we stand on all day exposes us all to rheumatism. For the privilege to work for a miserably low wage we are ex- posed daily to disease. For being loyal suckers, our boss, Mr. Himoff, pays to a few wages a little higher than to the rest of us, but these few must realize that the more they scheme to bury us the deeper they sink too. By keeping us down they set the same pace for themselves. They will gain more by standing by us. Remember, fellow workers, that a man who is a traitor to his class is at the same time a traitor to himself. ri Iam addressing myself to those r fellows who have fallen into the trap of hoping to help themselves by standing on the backs of their fel- low workers. I still believe they will join with us when they understand the folly of their doings. But if they continue we will not spare them. Organization's First Task.

YORK, July 7.— Millions of felt hats, soft velours and derbies adorn as many heads in this country but few of the wearers know what price in human lives is paid in the manufacture. But of 100 union felt hatters recently examined, 43 per cent were found to be suffering from that form of mercury poisoning known as “hatters shakes“. A study of 599 union death records showed that the death rate from pnetmonia is 173 per cent above thet of the average population and from tuberculosis, 46 per cent higher. Other diseases abound. And yet, experience in the hat plants of more civilised na- tions shows, all these hatters’ death hazards are unnecessary, Will Make Health Demande, Pacts such as these have roused the union hatters of Danbury, Conn., to demand decent health conditions. A scientific survey of the shops, leading to the remedies they will demand from their employers, is being made with the technical assistance of the Work- ers Health Bureau, 799 Broadway, New York, to which the Danbury hat- ters’ union is affiliated. . Dr. Alice Hamilton of Harvard Medical School, leading authority in the United States on hatters’ hazards; Dr. Yandell Henderson, professor of physiology at Yale and Dr. C. B. A. Winslow, professor of public health at Yale and authority on the control of dusts and ventilation—all consulting experts for the Workers Health Bu- ‘| reau—have offered their services to the union. Stand In Water. American hat factory conditions are shockingly inferior to those of other countries. No mercury poisoning is found in the British and Italian plants. In England ‘hat factories are dust- less, practical exhaust systems carry- ing off the dust and steam, In Italy men work with rubber gloves and aprons; exhausts carry off steam and employes have special dining and dressing rooms and men are changed from one department to another so that they do not work long in the mercury, But in America ing has been done in most factories to eliminate the deadly dust and steam. They are dirty. Laboratories are unsanitary, while proper ventilation is unknown. In most shops there is water on the floor and the men have to stand in water all day. Mercury Poisoning. The cause of mercury poisoning, most insidious of hatters’ ills, has been traced to cheap production methods used in American plants. Soft felts, fluffy velours and stiff der- bies start as bits of rabbit fur damp- ened and blown together'to form a felt. Because cheap piece fur is used, poor in quality, a strong solution of nitrate of mercury must be employed and this mercury solution steams into the hatters’ lungs from the hot sizing tubs. nae What mercury remains in the felt is volatized by the hot irons of the pressers and passes into the atmos- phere for inhalation. In England the difficulty is avoided at the source by using whole skins. Other diseases afflicting hatters in- clude silicosis, incurred in breathing. the particles of sand dust from sand- papering the surface of the finished hat; chronic bronchitis and lung in- flammation, of which 32 per cent of unionists examined are found to be suffering; abnormally high blood pressure, found among 39 per cent; loose teeth and inflamed gums, affect- ing 45 per cent and due to mercury and nitric acid fumes; tremors (trembling or twitching of the body), 55 per cent; excessive tiredness, $9 per cent. Straw Hatters’ Ills. Straw hatters suffer from rheuma- tism, excessive fatigue and other trou- bles from constant standing in an oppressive atmosphere of steam and heat. It is hoped that the example set by the Danbury hatters in improving shop conditions will be followed at Orange, N. J., second largest hatters’ center in the east. The present issue is regarded as being as fundamental in its way as the fight waged years ago against the famous boycott cause.

AGAINST WAGE CUTS IN SHOE AND LEATHER TRADE 9 By TOM BELL BOSTON, Mass., July 7.—The campaign of the Trade Union Educational ‘League against wage cuts in the shoe industry was heartily endorsed by a conference of militants in the shoe industry called by the national amalgama- tion committee for the shoe and leather industry. shoe centers of New England such as Boston, Chelsea, Lynn and Brockton. General Wage Cuts Reported. sea From each center reports of the were given. In Brockton the workers are being asked to accept wage cuts Workers came from the wage cutting campaign of the 998000 n as a means of seguring “steady work.“ In Boston many factories are shut down, and the workers have been informed that when work is resumed $25 a week will be the standard wage. In Chelsea the foremen set the list of prices and those workers who re- fuse to accept · them are fired, In each of these places the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union officialdom is the best ally of the bosses in wage cutting. Not only do they bind and gag the workers who protest by put- ting the local into the hands of a commission, but they refuse to take any action whatever against the wage slashing of the bosses. B. and .. Agrees. In Lynn the bosses. have succeeded in forcing the workers into the Boot and Shoe by refusing to employ them unless they join this union. The workers were without leadership will-“ ing to lead them with a definite policy in this situation, and they were by the Boot and Shoe prop- aganda in the capitalist press, they are I Boot and Shoe. “Shue oMmMctat’ dom has signed contracts. with the bosses which agree to wage cuts and a graded price list which means that the cheaper the shoe manufactyred the lower the wages will be. The policy of the T. U. E. L. for the shoe industry was accepted. This policy is practical an@ leads to the amalgamation of the shoe unions into one industrial union with a mil- itant program of struggle against the bosses based upon the class struggle. It advocates a militant campaign against the class, collaboration polic- les of the Boot and Shoe officialdom and against the despotic rule of the officialdom against the rank and file. In each shoe center this campaign against wage cuts will be waged by means of leaflets and mass meetings to rally the workers to stem the tide of wage reductions which igs going on. The organization of militant left wing groups to supply leadership for the workers in this struggle will be as organizing a militant leadership for taken up, and the best militant forces in the shoe towns organized to conduct the battle against the bosses which the labor leaders” have de- serted.

These yellow doggers have felt quite spry, recently, what with several court de- cisions against the trade unions to their credit. | Will the trade 8 in Cleveland fight back? ill they allow this open shop association to make the yellow dog contract effective in Cleveland? Will labor permit an organization of employers to force employes to sign a contract not to join a labor union as a condition of employment? “Signe of the Times.” "Down town, in the heart of the city, on Superior avenue, upon three immense plate glass windows we read a sign of the times. There in foot high letters the name of the American Plan Association can be read together with the announcement that help is furnished free by it and employment given to those who call. Then we turn to the help wanted page of today’s Plain Dealer and find this little insert: “Police Wanted.” “100 able bodied men for special police work, equipped with uniforms and clubs. Box 12039, Plain Deal- er.” Then we turn the pages of the Cleveland Times and happen upon nearly a full page adverstisement headed: “Judges and Juries Condemn Closed Shop ‘Lawlessness. Court Cases Bring Judgments, Fines and a Sweeping Injunction. American Plan Association helps Both Union and Non-Union Workers.” ' What About “Union” Shop. The advertisement, and a very ex- pensive thing it is to run so continu- ously, starts out by saying the closed shop is “Un-American’—whatever that means. It accuses the “closed shop“ (it does not use the words “union shop“) of various violences, all oblivious of- the fact that their wage cute will bo necomplshed , ‘own methods of using “ablebodied men equipped with clubs” is not ex- ‘actly a form of Aged as pacifist or u ai. er Cover.” istant. * It further states that the supposedly pernicious’ closed shop” also works under cover whenever it can.” Again quite oblivious of the fact that the advertisement for the “ablebodied men with clubs” they inserted in the Plain Dealer as noted above, is a “blind” advertisement, giving an un- der cover” address. They even fail to explain that the employers of this country. by use of industrial spies against the workers, are responsible for the very term “under cover man” from which they seem now to shrink. After reciting numerous horrible de- tails where the capitalist courts have in all due solemnity declared that unions and union men have actually violated capitalist law, the point of the big advertisement is brought out in a heart rending plea for money.

And one and all are to send that much for a year’s dues. Pretending to be Popular Move. Not, of course, that the American Plan Association needs the money. While they pretend that the poor and the humble and downtrodden have reason to rally to the holy of union erushing and ask for the same P. H. and D.

In fact, the big boys, and just a few of them, are secretly in conspir- acy and are forking over huge sums to finance the page ads in the Times and the little advertisement in the “help wanted” columns of the Plain Dealer caltifig for “ablebodied men with clubs.” And they likewise are paying the bills for both the men and the clubs. ‘Such is the “open shop” American Plan.

The officliadom of the International Association of Machinists under the leadership ef Johnston and Davison have recently announced to the world that they have again succeeded them- selves in office. This is probably one of the most brazen election steals in the trade union movement in this country and puts the officialdom of the machinists together with the rest of the labor bureaucrats in the Am- | the election. * erican labor ent on the same basis. 4 ; if Bare ‘Faved Steal. With treit ous outspoken decis- jon of the rink and file the last elec- tion showed that the membership in all of the large industrial centers was overwhelmingly against the Johnston administration. In the city of New York, to give an example, the vote was approximately 2,200 for the An- derson glate and 74 for Johnston. In Chicago, the biggest and strongest district in the International the vote was 2,700 to about 800 for Johnston. The Canadian locals gave the Andar- son slate a majority over Johnston of over 1.200 Other important centers like Seat- tle, Pittsburgh, Ste., gave an over- whelming vote to the opposition. In spite of these facts the administration is announcing the election of William H. Johnston by a majority of 984 votes over his opponent, J. F. Anderson. How it, Happened. The members of the organization are asking how did it happen? The answer is that the administration counted itself into power and stole In the last convention, held in Detroit, a new paragraph was added to the constitution whereby the counting of the ballots was supposed to have been taken away from the general secretary-treasurer. This proposition caused one of the most bitter struggles in the conven- tion but in spite of the administra- tion forces it was finally carried. Af- ter the convention the administration forces Immediately started to make their own interpretation of that clause. One mistake seems to have been made by the progressive elements who proposed the clause. They forgot to mention that this new law naturally supersedes the old one, and as a re- sult Johnston and his clever lawyers in Washington made their interpre- tation to mean that the old law still stands. Two Contradicting Laws. So we find two laws in the consti- tution, Section 14, stating that the general secretary-treasurer shall count and supervise the ballots in the election and paragraph 15 stating that the candidates or the tellers of the two respective candidates shall super- ‘vise the counting of ballots. We find therefore that nothing was accompish- ed by having this bitter struggle in the convention. After all, the powers that he do as they please in spite of the understand- ing of every delegate in the conven- tion who understand that Davison | would no longer count ballots. In this election Davison counted all of. the ballots first and then after he had done so gave them over to the regu- words, he knew the results before the tellers knew anything about it. Sabotaging Election. . A number of other crooked. maneu- vers were made. For example, we find that locals have sent in their ballots and forgot to send in the tally sheets. In the past these sheets were taken, care of in Washington by the Officials. There are other examples where we may have the suspicion that some of the secretaries have been tools of the Johnston administration and deliberately sabotaged sending in the tally sheets. Local 82, in Detroit, had a majority for the Anderson slate, but it was never counted. According to inform- ation that the writer has, the secre- tary of Local 82 is a Johnston man and he claims to have sent in the tally sheets. The question to ask is “Where are those tally sheets?” 2,000 Illegal Ballots. If this tactic has been followed in — . 2 hares larly appointed tellers... lu - other * 5 serious fight.

The miners of Great Britain are facing a situation at the present which is similar in many respects to the situation in the United States and Canada. Unemployment among the miners, lasting many weary months, has re- duced them to the verge of starvation and a campaign of wage cutting union breaking and destruction of working conditions is on thruout the British fields. Unending Greed Northumberland mine owners have forced the miners down to starvation wages and still attempt further reduc- tions from a standard of ‘living that is a disgrace to civilization. The week ending June 18 showed several brothers’ wage for the four week to range from $5.00 to $7.50 for the week. A reduction of 20 per cent was made in Longwell cutters’ yard prices, and a reduction of from one to eleven cents in cutting rates. Unbearable Conditions The cost of living in Britain is as high as in America, so the situation can be readily understood by the miners in America who are experienc- ing similar attacks. The situation is international in every respect, the capitalists are or- ganized internationally and the miners must be not only organized interna- tionally but must protect themselves in action against the onslaught of the coal barons, and prepare to take over the mines in the interest of the workers. The strike of the miners in Nova Scotia, against wage cuts, union wrecking and loss of working tions, the same thing at the Crows.

About ten locals were not counted because they came in late, that is all the locals that gave a majority to the Anderson alate but we find that a big number of John- ston locals that had sent in the results cording to reliable information, about 2,000 ballots were thus counted. We also find that a number of locals in checking up on the secretary-treas- urer’s report, does not correspond to the report of the local. A number of locals are supposed to have been thrown out due to submitting more ballots than the lodge members. These locals, however, claim that this is not true, that according to the lo- correspond with the figures of Davi- son. The Anderson followers claim that had the election been carried on in an honest manner the whole Ander- son slate would have been elected by approximately 2,000 majority. Check Up the Locals.

Where (The Outlook in the Present Strug- gle in the International.) HERE are two means by whic. it sought to attack the cloakmakers. From the “bed-time stories” of the Forward both originate. They were tried out many times by o_o yellow gang. One means is to take 3 Dubb for granted. This yenow gang looks down on everything and everybody, Their own idiocy they consider the greatest cleverness. And the wide general public is considered by them as a bunch of fools, Dubbs who have not the least bit of sense.” They can talk into them whatever they want. They believe that they can talk a woman into beliieving she is pregnant, and whatever the Dubbs need they do not need, and what they want they do not want. ND therefore they yell, for in- stance, that among the cloak- makers everything is at present nor- mal, that their union offices ure func- tioning in the best of order, that all members are greatly satisfied, and they congratulate the union for throwing out the Communists. Even those who are being attacked with the strong-arm gangs in the streets and union offices, even those who are being insulted by the ma- cHine-sluggers and other appointed scoundrels, all are enthused with joy. That is how things seem in the bed- time stories of the Forward. They do this, thinking to talk into the masses that they are really satisfied, with the belief that just as one can make himself believe that he is sick, so he can make believe that his Wounds dre not wounds at all, and Does Sigman’s Pogrom Lead that from his pains he gets satisfac- tion. HE second way in which they seek to attack the cloakmakers is thru the bundle. They know that the bundle cloaks is very dear to the cloakmaker. They know that he is hungry and tired of the long slack season, and yearns for the bundles. Therefore, they assume an attitude toward the “Dubb” of a cloakmaker as if he were a child yearning for sweets; they paint before his eyes the shadow of a bundlé, seeking to ecare him by saying “Remember, you will soon have a bundle.” “If you will be good and obedient,” they say, “and do what Sigman or Feinberg tells you, you will get a bundle.” “If not you will be out of luck. The bundles will disappear, and others cleverer than you will catch them.” HESE means were used against the cloakmakers at the time when they carried on a struggle against the machine when, a few years back, it expelled the “Communist union- breakers”—-Professor Isaac Hour- wich, and Bisno. True, Hourwich and Bisno were not Communists, but “Perlstein, the union’ were then there, and Hourwich with Bisno did not agree with the policy of Perl stein, the union” and they were there- fore disturbers and liable to be sus- pended. And so they yelled with great head- lines in the yellow Forward: They are cutting bundles in the shops.” With this yell they sought to scare the cloakmakers. The shadow of the bundle was their greatest weapon. Similarly they did in 1922. The cloakmakers were greatly dissastis- fied with the “victory” of the renew- ed agreement and they were threat- ened if they vote against the agree- lose the bundles. ND similarly they are doing in the present struggle. The cloakmak- er, they yell, does not think of the present struggle which is going on in the union, he does not even speak about it; he only thinks about the work in the shop, about the bundle. And therefore they scream with great headlines in the yellow For. ward, “They are already cutting work in the shops,” etc. ORRIS SIGMAN, the union boss, that teamster with the strong hand, who has broken and ruined in the union this which someone else built, this Sigman who only retains the rags of the gambler who has lost everything — his only hope is also built on the above-mentioned two means. And therefore, he continues to mumble “Sulkeses, scab-agents“ and speaks with the tone of one who is sure’ of everybody. He desires the members of the union to believe they are all with him, they are all good union people and stick to “Sigman, the union.” Only a few Sulkeses, Communists, are the breakers, They want to break the union. He also mumbles: “Everything is normal in the joint board, There will soon be work in the shops. " The bundles are the main thing, not only for the cloakmaker, but for Sigman. and Fein- berg. The cloak makers are inter- ested in the bundles because they need to make à living. Sigman and Feinberg are interested even if only in the shadows of bundles with which to scare the cloakmakers. They also need to make a living from them. Bar. how far can the Sigman ma- ment it means a strike, and they will quainted with the spirit that rules among the workers, they know that the first method is played out long since. You cannot take the masses for granted. Among the widest | masses of the cloak and dressmak- ers, they laugh in their sleeves when such union-breakers as Sigman and Feinberg speak of “Sulkeses.” The cloak and dressmakers know for a long time the deeds of the Feinbergs and Perlsteins. They also know the left wing and they know who are the disturbers and betrayers. UT very differently it is with the second method. It must be ad- mitted that generally even the shadow of a bundle has a great at- traction for most cloakmakers, that regardless of the consciousness which has penetrated deeply in the ranks of the c)pakmakers, the yearn- ing for the bundle is still such a fac- tor that it often demoralizes the con- sciousness of the workers. j This is because the cloakmaker is tired and hungry, especially in the last few years, when the trade has been brought to such terrible chaos, when the competition is so great, when a large part of the garments are made in scab shops, when the co. operation shop has so developed, and when thé most.of the union men work only a few weeks a year. In such a time and under such conditions it ig very natural that the cloakmaker should often be scared perhaps he will lose the possibility to make a few bundles. ORRIS SIGMAN & Co. cannot rely any möre on this fear ot the bundle. Sigman machine has in the * lean on such methods? time of its rule led the Mim wy come among the oK and dressmakers, those who are ac- "| tory have bluffed the members so much, that the disillusionment is..continual- ly increasing. The further the mem- bers go, the more they see for them- selves only the hole of the doughnut, which is continually being promised them. For two years they were ‘fooled with the trade program of 10 points. And what was the result of that? Sigman, Feinberg & Co. have on that account destroyed the strength of the International. In- stead of mobilizing the workers to struggle for these demands, they dis- organized their ranks. The funds of the union were wasted in union- breaking activity and other irrespon- sible acts. And about the demands of the workers the machine relied upon miracles from heaven and the goodness of the governor’s commis- sion, the jobbers and manufacturers. ND what is the present situation? It is clear that if in the present struggle against the three locals, 2, 9, and 22, Sigman & Co. should be victorious, this victory will not be built upon the interests of the work ers. Sigman’s machine cannot get any better conditions for them. Sig- man’s leadership is bankrupt. His tactics are played out. All his possi- bility he lost in his gamble. He can- not bring about any improvement in the bad conditions of the workers. HERE can be no doubt for any one that if Sigman should suc: ceed in the present struggle against the cloak and dressmakers, this vic- will surely be built upon the sacrifice of the living conditions of the workers. Sigman will accept the decision of the governor's commis- sion, not taking into consideration that this decision will give nothing to he workers. It is possible that 07 . * fake referendum. But the decision itself will not change the conditions. An improvement the workers can only get thru a struggle. HE bosses in the industry are too far away from respoasibility, so that it is impossible to imagine that feu a spirit of philanthropy should lessen their profits by retreat- | ing. It is impossible to believe that thru their good nature the bosses should see that the cloakmakers need also to earn a living from cloaks. The bosses can be brot to see this only thru a strike. But if a strike occurs, Sigman and his machine surely can- not be, the leaders of it; under the conditions that they have created a strike under their leaderships is a danger for the workers. Sigman can- not really carry on a struggle against the bosses, and he cannot lead the workers in a strike. If a strike oc- curs, then the Sigman gang must go from the union before that. IGMAN, Feinberg, and Perlstein, cannot come out victorious onthe basis of a strike. Victory for them is only possible thru a combination with the bosses. : And what can be the result of .such a combination? The answer is very clear. Sig- man’s combination with the bosses will do much to undermine his rule. The end of his leadership will be more securely sealed, and that very soon. Victory for him under such there are any cloakmakers who do not yet see the utter bankruptcy of Sigmanism they will then see it in broad daylight. If they can Still he scare a few with the shadow of bundles, those few will then also see — — — os — By P. Yuditch the bluff which lies in thig scare. N addition, we must not forget the following: If certain cloakmakers can be scared with the hole of the doughnut, the same is not the case with the dressmakera, Both above-' mentioned methods used by the ma- they chine have long since lost their ef- fectiveness on the dressmakers, You bundles. ed with the fakes of the yellow Sig- manism, much more than the cloak conditions will be a formal, superfic- } ial, momentary victory. In fact it will mean a worse defeat, because if cannot scare them any more with They are long ago acquant- makers. And the dressmakers will play in the present revolt a very prominent role, They cannot be pushed aside. Against the cloak makers of Local 2 and 9, and in addi- tion to the dressmakers, Sigman's pogrom will surely be a failure. It will be a failure, we mean, in the sense of perpetuating Sigman’s rule but such a pogrom cannot be a fail- ure so far ag concerns the general harm which it does. ILL the cloak and dressmakers be victorious in this struggle? The foregoing explanations show the ans- wer to the last question. U is clear 2 that the failure of the Sigman ma- chine, the failure of the pogrom-lead- ers, is a victory for those who are robbed and attacked. Sigman may very possibly obtain not even a tem- porary victory if the present spirit of revolt which rules among the cloak and dressmakers refuses to be choked by the threats and bluffs of the Sig- man family. If the workers of the ‘shops will not permit themselves #6 be frightened with the bundles and will not lose for one moment their consciousness, then the Sigman ma- chine will be forced to remove selyes very soon from the union. gang has no place in the Int al. ed a

Twentyfive years ago a trade union delegation headed by Jacob Betten, then president Allied ‘Trades Council of Chicago, greeted the ap- pearance of the Hearst Chicago daily. “Labor can depend that from the first issue it will have a champion“, Betten cried. Today the unions are silent and Bet- ten alone speaks but he is on the Hearst payroll.

LOUIS, Mo., July 7—The Curlee Clothing Co, has come down to the inevitable last (sometimes the first) resort in its effort to beat the solidari- ty of the strikes. A tempc Hearing Thurelay: The hearing to ‘determine whether or not a permanent’ injunction shall be issued was set for next Thursday. Despite the brutalities of the police and some 200 and more arrests, the strike lately has been looking more and more favorable to thé strikers. The company now shows its weak- ness by resorting to the weapon that every defeated open shop corporation uses as a last resort, the anti-labor injunction and once again demonstrat- ing how the capitalist government is used to help enslave the working class. Disobey Injunction If Need Be. The strikers say the strike will go on, “injunction or no _ injunction.” Lately there have been many arrests and much brutality on the part of the police. The injunction asked for is supposde to permit peaceful picketing and peaceful persuation of scabs. If this would be lived up to (which it won't) the situation would really be more favorable to the strikers, At any rate, the strikers are wise enough by this time to knoW that in- junctions will not produce clothing. nes ve Tala RRR, CHINA, Nal Union. TELLS STUDEN 8 AT CHICAGO U. — seeeeeemraeed sire (By Student Correspondent) An audience — tudent with « erinting ot th general public, on Thursday, heard P. W. Kuo, president of University, Nanking, China, defend the right to strike, support the anti-im- perialistic movement now sweeping China, and present one reason at least why the workers of China think they have found a friend in the Soviet ; “I'll give you another version of the trouble in China today, from that you heard from the English editor who talked here yesterday,” said Kuo, and launched into-the story of how a strike in ‘Shanghai prety mills for very moderate de ten hour day, overtime for night work, a whole hour for lunch, etc., was, turned into a revolt against foreign capitalists. Slain in Cold Blood. He showed how tie course of events was hurried by the way in which a foreign government on Chinese soil, the municipality of the white settle- ment at Shanghai, exercised its politi- cal power in an unsuccessful attempt to crush the strike. A climax came, Kuo pointed out, when a parade of unarmed young men ‘and women, students, were against the use of the foreign police to break the strike, and were fired on and many of them killed by these po- lice. Kuo read from the report of a police officer on duty in Shanghai the statement that the police ordered the parade to disperse, and then when it did not, they fired, as the (white) law in Shanghai permits. But this same police report admit- ted also that the order to these Ghi- nese to disperse was given in English, and the first volley was fired ten sec- onds after the order. Machine guns and rifles shattered the parade, and many were killed while fleeing from the hail of bullets. All China flamed with rage. Capitalists Enslave China. In Kuo’s opinion only the abroga- tion of the unfair treaties, which give foreign employers such military and political rights in China as they now possess ill ever satisfy the Chinese people. The good will of the Chinese to- wards the Soviet Union, according to Kuo, is largely the result of the atti- tude of the Workers’ Republic towards China. He gave a long account of for- eign aggression and invasion of China, invasion which still continues, with England trying to annex Tibet to In- dia, and France and Japan picking out their prospective slices, to add to the Chinese territory they already rule over, all of them meanwhile continu- ing the economic mn. of the country. * Soviets Kept Promises.

This. is something ab- solutely new in the foreign relations of China. Germany made a treaty nearly as favorable, but she was mili- tarily helpless, and had to make the best of things.

We teach the children ta fight the capitalists, we prove to them by example that their parents are being robbed by the thieves who are non-essential to so- ciety, parasites who live on the toil of the workers. We try to make fighters of these children, class con- scious fighters that will help break the chains of capitalism. To Hold Summer Camp.

POLI * * Pay No Attention to Slaving Thousands HARRISBURG, July 7— The child labor law of Pennsylvania is a scrap of paper so far as law enforcement of- ficers, generally, are concerned. This strong statement is made on the au- thority of Richard H. Lansburgh, sec retary of the department of labor and industry. His exact language occurs in the monthly publication of his de- parament, as follows: “In most communities of the state, local police pay no attention whatse- ever to the enforcement of the child labor act.” And this is one of the rea- sons why the law is so poorly enfore ed, he finds. Turn Homes into Sweat Shops. Child labor, while decreasing in the factories, has been gaining more diff. culties in the utilization of children within the factory walls they have “deemed it profitable to prey upon the economic necessity and old world characteristics of portions of the community by turning homes into sweat shops where little children are. night, and on Saturday.” Thousands of children in addition go from Philadelphia to New Jersey truck farms and cranbefry bogs where they work from May to Novem- ber, losing months of school annually. There is no national child labor law affecting interstate relations, and the Pennsylvania statute cannot be used in New Jersey. Lansburgh says something is being done in checking the migration by way of employment offices in Pennsylvania but the results are inadequate. Our Readers’ Views | Two Cases for The International Labor Defense.

An officer ot the law sav Schroeder talking to } Dum brosky and Dumbrosky was held as an accomplice of Schroeder. Schroe@er made a denial that this man Dumbrosky had anything to do with or knew anything at all about what was in the suitcase and he was thrown into jail, A lawyer whose’ name is Carl Jor- dan in the city of Cedar Rapids, had taken his case, also the case of Schroeder that paid him $750 with the understanding that the case would be appealed to the supreme court. But nothing came out of this, except the statement by the lawyer that he with- drew his appeal to the supreme court because he was sure the board of parole would operate very quickly upon his release. To be exact he had the understand- ing that he would get out in eleven months, it has been two years, and no action hes been taken in his be- half, The other man, Joe Drazich, was a member of the Carpenters’ union of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He held some Office in this union. I believe he was Secretary. They discovered in the meantime while holding this office that he also was a member of the Workers Party and, as there is much prejudice in this state against such members there was no difficulty in se- curing his indictment. To be indicted is equivalent to conviction. We hope the Labor Defense Coun- cil will look into these cases and remedy if possible, the unfortunate conditions of these two men, and will work for repeal of this law, which brings about such hardship for mem- bera of the Workers Party. I have stated these cases correctly as possi- ble. I am depending upon memory as I have no notes. You may find in the court of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the exact record of the case. To my judgment they were railroaded to prison. Yours fraternally, Wm. Dan- dridge. ; INFORMATION WANTED = INFORMATION WANTED About Jacques Margolis Born in Johannesburg, So.
