F. Anderson, vice president of the International Association of Machinists and candidate for president of that organization at the last convention, has reopened the fight in a letter addressed to the membership the heading of which is; “The Story of the Big Steal.” In it he makes an attack upon William H. Johnston, the presi- dent of the association and BH. ©. Davison, the secretary treasurer. Attached to the letter is a report from Herbert P.

Links Yellow and Soviet Peril. The fight against wHat Austen Chamberlain calls the “yellow peril” includes according te nis own state- ment, the fight against Soviet Rus- sia, which he says Has “betrayed its white heritage.” © His reason, how- ever, is more truly-expressed in the fact that Soviet Russia has renounced all unequal treaties with China and other oppressed nations formerly im- posed by the czar;mnd has held that these oppressed inationalities and races have a right to full self deter- mination and repudiated the chgim that the “white” imperialist nations have any god-given right to oppress and exploit the “darker- and defense- less races. Chamberlain naively states that the Germans must join his proposed front against the “yellow meril’ as Germans are better than Latins in having “a keener color sense,” to which remark some scoffing laborit®s have said that the Germans also smake better artil- lery and ammunitiom'than the Latins.

We believe in our god, Our country, our flag and our prayer.” The stee! trust, which owns the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, and the large plantation owners, will no doubt use their influence to have White promoted, after such staunch defense of the exploitation system which has made a few mil- lionaires, but has pauperized the great mass of workers and farmers of the state. tDEPORTATION OF FOUR I.

One would think, therefore, that there would be at least the sem- blance of an American Uniform against the professional murderer in the soldier’s uniform.

The professors were “desecrating” the sabbath today putting the finish- ing touches on their statements. To Invade Other States Bryan, who, it is announced, will endeavor to induce the legislatures .of seven more states to prohibit: the teaching of evolution, declared that the “tennessee evolution case has un- covered a conspiracy against evolu- tion.” Walter White, superintendent of schools of Rhea county, in a state- ment describing the citizens of his county and upholding the anti-evolu- tion law said, “No citizen of Rhea county has become so highly educated that he feels it his duty to substitute the red flag for the American flag, or dispose of his bible.” Those who are attempting to bar science from the schools are trying to make Darrow out a radical, but Darrow has assumed his most pious look and his scientists are mouthing christianity in order to show the powers that be that they are worthy of their jobs in the capitalist owned universities. In fact, as far as he acted around the house, I didn’t even know he had studied evolution until this ‘mon- key business’ came up. I suppose I might have watched his studies more because Scopes was arrested, I had to get Bud’s book to find out what evolution was. “I think it’s all foolishness arrest- ing Mr. Scopes. I can’t see that he did any harm by his teachihg and it’s silly to punish him.” Thus the mothers of the hills an- swered Bryan. RELEASE CICERO COMMUNISTS IN SPEECH FIGHT Was Editor of Elore, Author and Idealist By ISRAEL AMTER (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW YORK, July 19—Comrade John Lassen, former editor of the Hungarian Communist daily news- paper Elore, who has been ill for six weeks, died in the St. Josephs hos- pital Friday night. : Comrade Lassen was a militant re- volutionist since his youth. He was active in 1914 in spreading anti-war propaganda in Hungary, whare he helped to found the left wing of the social democratic party, and the Com- munist Party of Hungary. | Comrade Lassen made an attempt on the life of Count Tisza, for which he was sentenced to prison. He was released by the Soviet revolution and led the youth revolution in Budapest, after which he attended congresses ‘of the Young Communist Internatio- nal before coming to America in 1921. In December, 1924, Comrade Lassen was indicted by the United States ‘government and threatened with de-| } Comrade Lassen contributed many cent. Most of these men had been earning $7.00 and $8.00 per day and they will have the greatest difficulty from now on in,making as much as $5.00. pa These savage wage cuts are con- vincing the men that the management has absolutely no thought of the wel- fare of the workers. They are begin- ning to realize that they must fight their own battles’ and their present temper indicates that they are going to fight this out to a finish. The strikers are certainly giving the com- pany the surprise of its life. There have been many departm-ntal strikes in the past but none of them have time did they assume the proportion that this one is beginning to assume.

It is now the Hearst press, especially thru the writ- ings of Arthur Brisbane, that claims the Riffians are waging a hopeless struggle against the French because they cannot successfully face the airfleets of the imperialist enemy. The Riffians have done pretty well against the Spanish plunder- ers, and they are this week challenging the full strength of French militarism. This would indicate that the boasted strength of France in the air, claimed to be the greatest strength among all the nations, is not living up to the great claims made for it. | * @ * ® There must be some reason why France must appeal for a “forei legion” of mercenary aviators made up of “swash-buckling” Americans. It may be that Frenchmen, like Sadoul and Marti who refused to fight for French im- phe in the world war, are to be found even now in the rench air forces in Africa, refusing to do the bidding of their militarist masters. There have been indications that the French soldiers is less loyal to the French franc than the sword-rattling American who fights for a price. It may be well, for future reference, to give the list of these Hessians who wear the stars and stripes, who may some time return to the United States and enlist on the side of the bosses in some great strike that looms ahead.

Jaroslaveky presides, UII- rich and Cameron are members of the court and Krylenko is prosecuting at- torney; the official defense has been taken over by Ozep and Dukowskoy. Numerous members of the foreign embassies ag well as numerous for- eign journalists are present. The defendant Ditmar speaks Rus- sian; the others, German. Wolscht refuses to be defended. Kindermann requests only legal advice. As ex- perts for the characterization of the political situation in Germany and of the political motive forces behind the defendants, Horpius and the repre- sentative of the German Communist Party in the Comintern, Heinz Neu- mann, were summoned. On grounds ;of extra-territoriality, the German em- Dorie council Hillger refuses to ap- ‘pear before the court; he declares his willingness however, to be examined commissarily at the embassy. The prosecutor announces that the exam- ination of Hillger is of prime import- ance, because Hillger has to corrobo- ate or deny the statements made by he prisoners during their preliminary examination. Abuses the Court. The defendants Wolscht and Ditmar are quite at their ease. Kindermann ts a confused phantast. He attempts’ to provoke the court with the state- ment that the indictment is a product of insanity. He claimg to have signed the protocol in a state-of hypnosis. The prosecutor explains to the defend- ants their various rights according to the Russian criminal code. The airman announces that the Witnesses summoned by Wolscht from ' Germany would reach Moscow on the evening of June 25. At the appear- ance of the witnesses for the prose- eution, Kindermann again attempts to abuse the court. He is severely censured by. the presiding judge who takes it clear to him that the court alone is competent to judge the admis- sability of the witnesses. To the question of guilt, Kinder- mann declares that all defendants would plead not guilty. However, only Wolscht joins this plea, whereas Dit- mar pleads guilty to every point in the indictment.

EXPOSURE OF SALE OF EMBALMED BEEF TO WORLD WAR SOLDIERS GETS RISE FROM SWIFT PACKING COMPANY By CARL HAESSLER (Federated Press Staff Correspondent) Swift & Co., the Chicago packers named in the embalmed beef story sent out by The Federated Press early in April of this year, are cautiously making indirect attempts to stop the spread of the revelation. The F. P. exposure cited the discovery by a chemist in army service during the world war that the unspeakable “embalmed beef” of the Spanish-American war of 1898 had been resurrected after 20 years and sold to the army in the world war. The chemist, now in a responsible industrial position in Chicago, had been stationed at the government laboratories in Savannah, Ga., during the hostilities, cious specimens of to Uncle Sam’s fighters by Swift & Co. and other profiteers. He found some canned beef not only spoiled and chemically bleached but that pinholes in the cans had been resoldered and the cans them- lseves very heavily lacquered.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 19.— At the “Hands Off China” meeting held here, five speakers held the audience’s attention for two hours and a half in spite of the heat. The tent was packed with occidentals and orientals who heard the speakers representing the oppressed races express their sol- idarity against the imperialists and their demands in China. The students who represented the orientals in an international way were C. I. Chang, Chinese; L. I. Savi- mento, Philippino and Siao Ogino, Japanese. Col. Bradley, Negro speaker, gave an excellent talk as a representative of the downtrodden 12 million Neg- roes of the states and those of the unprotected colonies. Thurber Lewis, representative of the Workers (Communist) Party, ex- pressed the American workers’ sym- pathy for the Chinese and showed what is necessary for the abolition of imperialism. The five speakers let ‘oose more working class thoughts han the capitalist presses put out in 2 year, One capitalist lackey paper of the Kansas side had an editorial ridicul- ing and criticizing the meeting in the usuai capitalist way. But the big turnout of all oppressed races who showed their solidarity and class conscious awakening of the masses was a suitable answer. With the comradeship, internation- al spirit and friendship for Soviet Russia as shown by this anti-impér- ialist, “Hands Off China” meeting, we can see why the god-fear and hell- fear is in the hearts of all capitalists and capitalist lackeys.

For the past six months there has been a great outcry over the immoral methods of the entente, who, in spite of the expressed terms of the Versail- les treaty, refuse to evacuate Cologne, but no mention is made of the reason for this non-evacuation, i. e., the fail- ure of Germany to comply with the disarmament conditions. For months past the national government press has been feigning to raise a storm of protest aaginst the demands of the entente in order to deceive the na- tionalist. Hindenburg electors, altho they know perfectly well that the na- tional government of Hindenburg will fulfil the demands of the entente. The disarmament demands are a well-known means of pressure by France upon Germany, and constitute the usual prétexts for the continued occupation of Cologne and the Ruhr area. They have nothing whatever to do with a real “disarmament,” if anly becmise they are submitted by) the entente powers who are armed to the teeth, to Germany which is at present militarily helpless. Still is it intended that they shall achieve the disarming of the German white guard- ist civil war forces against the work- ing class. On the contrary, the en- tente powers are even prepared to supply the German bourgeoisie, pro- vided it behaves itself, with all the necessary war material for holding down the German working class and for war against the Soviet Union. HE German government hoped to obtain an amelioration of the de- mands by English imperialism, to whom it renedered various gratuitous services, especially by the well known guarantee pact. Tedious negotiations regarding the formulation of these disarmament demands. The English foreign minister, Chamberlain, never even dreamed of rendering any return service to his faithful servants in ths German government. On the contrary he attempted to conclude mutually advantageous business with France at the cost of Germany to maneuver French imperialism out of its own positions, but at the same time to lead by means of half promises. The German counter-revolution did not object ta this maneuver. It hoped on the contrary, in its helplessness, to obtain some slight advantage from it, and designated the whole thing as real national politics, or skillfully taking advantage of Anglo-French antagon- fem. The real underlying idea of this follows: “How can I as a national zovernment, with the heroic Hinden- burg as a figure head, adorned with national phrases, continue most easily the policy of submission and render it palatable to the nationally mindeo masses.” 12 0-1.¢r words, how ean 2 saitable pleatunt ev+4:.ng Hinden- surg melody be found for tha perman. bnt policy of cvery bourgeois guvern- ment, the fulfillment of the Dawes plan?

The French foreign mip- ister, Briand, after the last speech of Stresemann stated .that he fully un- derstood that Stresemann must make use of some nationalist phrases in or- der to please the German masses. but for him it was sufficient to read be- tween the lines what the Hindenburg government wished to say to France. Briand was tolerably satisfied with this essential import of his speech. The guiding star of the German bourgeoisie is and remains the Dawes pact. The praise of the reparations commission over the faithful fulfilli- ment of all reparations obligations by the monarchist Hindenburg govern. ment is a quittance which Hindenburg can hardly pin to his heroic breast alongside of the other imperial dec orations on the occasion of monarch: ist national parades. The _ secon guiding star of the national govern- ment is the Versailles treaty.

Ii makes eyes at France, casts a smile on England, learns from the “success- es” of the Bulgarian murder bands, and plays with the idea of receiving “national advantages” from the en- fente as mercenaries against the So- viet Union.

~ Fokker, Tc = an Aircraft and Munition Center By E. HUGO OEHLER KANSAS CITY, MO. July 19.— A two million dollar airplane syndicate will locate in this city with Anthony manufacfiirer and dnventor of the Fokker plane and a group of American capitalist as it’s guiding force. The city is favored as an air- craft center says a local paper be- cause it gives, “Greater security in time of war from enemy aircraft,” with, “Exceptionally favorable labor conditions and a good supply of train- ed woodworking and metal mechanics needed in aircraft production.” The backers of the Fokker project expect to be able to turn out 1000 Planes a year in this strategical posi- tion for such development in time of peace and more in time of war. It is well remembered that the Dutch airplane builder’s planes were the effective and exclusive weapon of the Germans and in the world war. But Germany is now a disarmed bour- geouise state while the United States is an ever increasing arming state. In times of peace the commercial be- nefits will be theirs and in time of war, ‘the exceptionally favorable labor’ will be making planes to be used to gas and bomb workers in other parts of the world, so legal robbery may continue. But airplanes is not all for it was not so long ago that a K. U. proffesor in discussing the economic develop- ment of the territory said that Kan- sas City is a logical munition center. From our packing plants, fats and oils for our soap industry that in turn yeild a by-product of Glycerin and in the nearby districts the roast- ing of zinc sulfide can yeild large quantities of sulfuric acid. The two combined with nitric acid furnishes a substang¢ial output of nitroglyceri- ne. .In the wars to come it looks as though Kansas City will play a deci- sive role in the service of the war lords as an inland city that contri- butes it’s labor power for the further- ance of aggressive capitalism. All week in the factories and plants war goods will be turned out by proud slaves and on the sabbath they will praise their God and ask him for sup- pert in their bloody wars of imperia- lism. henpdrtant Meeting of Douglas Park Branch Tonight At the next meeting of the Douglas Park English branch, Monday, July 20. many important matters will be taken up, such as the support of the International Labor Defense, DAILY WORKER drive, press picnic, indus- tria activity. All members are urged to be pres- ent and take part in the business of the branch. The branch meets at 3118 W. Roosevelt Road. Forest Fires in Canada WINNEPEG, Man. July 19.—The Utica mine buildings are threatened by the three great forest fires that are raging in West Kootenay in the Rocky Mountain section of western Canada. The fire covers 75 square miles and is being spread by high | winds, SCOPES TRIAL, RELIGI ON VERSUS EVOLUTION, FREE MASONRY AND COMMUNIST MEMBERSHIP DISCUSSED The Scopes’ trial and pgsition of Communists on religion and evolution as contrasted with the bourgeois atti- tude; free masonry and membership of Communists in such organizations, organization of a “stand by Soviet Russia” and “Hands Off China” meet- ing were among the many matters dis- cussed at the Chicago C.

(See other columns for details.) 25,000 anti-militarist leaf- lets and other pluggers are being dis- tributed for the occasion. Evolution Meeting Planned. It was decided to organize as soon as possible a mass Meeting on the Scopes trial, in.order to bring out the attitude ef the Communists to- ward religion and scienee. The evo- lution trial in Dayton, Tenn., offers a splendid opportunity for the Commun- ists to explain the origin of the idea of gods, religion, the development of the sciences, the relation of these developments and phenomena in the field of sociology and so on. Announce- ment of the date of meeting will ap- pear later. In this connection came up also the matter of membership of freemasons in a Communist organization. This question was a mooted one at the fourth congress of the Comintern in relation to the French and Italian Parties. The Comintern and its sec- tions stand unqualifiedly opposed to Communists being members of such organizations, which are nothing else but organizations of capitalism of a religious, political, economic and so- cial character and Communists have nothing to gain by participation in such bodies. Membership in them is forbidden by the party. Communist Press Picnic August .2. In these hot days the téndency to slacken in the drive for the DAILY WORKER must be counteracted. The press picnic on Atigust 2, offers op- portunity to raise’ some needed hun- dreds of dollars for the benefit of the DAILY WORKER and the rest of the party and league press. Every party unit is electing its spe- cial cofiimittee to participate in the gigantic press picnic on August 2, in Riverview Park. Progress of Labor Defense activity and development of plans for building immediate membership organizations of International Labor Defense were reported upon and all party units are being sent special instructions on how to proceed.

On July 2, Lt. Kreuter, the prison regarding our imprisonment from the Labor Defense Council, two copies of the DAILY WORKER and post cards bearing our pictures and a brief sum- mary of our case. He stated that they had to go to the post commander. After a twenty-four hour delay, the mail was given to us just before din- ner. It was left in the cellroom when we went to dinner and on our return the mail was missing. Investigation brot to light the fact that the Set. of the guard had taken it by order of the officer of the day. Complaint was made by us and the return of the stolen mail was prom- ised. Lt. Kreuter, the prison officer, said that we would have to wait until noon the following day when he would become “officer of the day.” When the time came and a request for the mail was made, we were informed that the former “officer of the day” had taken our mail with him. The conduct of army officials in re- gards to our mail, indicates that they are desirous of making photostatic coples of it.

President Coolidge has so far de- clined to make an appointment with a delegation of Negroes who wished to see him at Swampscott to protest against the klan demonstration here. Plans for an anti-klan demonstration to be held here one week after the klan parade were scotched by Col. Sherill who vetoed a request for the monument grounds for the gathering.

Altogether, $225,000,000 were to be spent in 1925. Some figures! Not figures in round numbers but well rounded figures which, as ought to be known, are always padded. July 1, 1925, the chamber of com- merce of this place publishes the statement that * ‘movie production is going on’ at’ th® rate of $1,000,000 a wéek or, 8d¥, $50,000,000 a year. The exaggeration of the Examiner was just $175,000,000 or 850 per cent over and above the facts. So when it comes to fooling the public everybody must make way for the news boy. Bitter Dope for the Dupes. There is’ method in this mad exag- geration. The heralding of increased production brings thousands of boobs, sapheads and whotnots to Los An- geles. The moving picture magnates paw over the assemblage of cheap hnu- manity, pick out what suits them at their own prices and have the rest ogy ret oh dumped, like surplus fish, into the slums. The disappointment of would-be screen stars is of little interest, but the destitution of the dupes demands attehtion. Men are forced to work at anything for minimum wages. Young girls become prostitutes, public and private, and starve at the.trade, An example of the bunk sent forth to boost the movies is the following placard of the chamber of commerce: 20,000 actors in Los Angeles! That stuff brings 20,000 tyros to Los An- geles to be broken and sold to employ- ers as junk. Talent Is Not Wanted. 20,000 actors in Los Angeles! Bless your soul, there hasn’t been an actor resident in this city since Frank Kee- nan quit the movies in disgust three months ago and joined the Orpheum Circuit. The chamber of commerce evident- ly calls the thousands of hicks and yaps who hang around the movie stu- dios “actors.” It probably does not know any better. : These “actors” are just California boobs who have never been outside their home towns until they came to Los Angeles. They dress like rustics and group by hundreds before the barnlike fronts of the studios, waiting to be called to’ “aet.” If there are £0,000 of them, it is safe to estimate that 10,000 do not average one work- ing day, at $7.50, a week, 3,000 others more than 1,000 earn living wages. But they are just the material the producers want—without talent and without. resources, 4 eae Pitiless Exploitation. ae The dupes are not to be laughed at. They are miserable victims. Many of them have families to support. They plead like beggars for work and are told by the movie bureaucrats: “We have hundreds of worse cases than yours.” Even after they realize one day every two weeks and that not | f they are. : | dupes these. unfortunates beguile themselves with such talk as’ this: “If the director sees you can act he whl boost you.” The director, as a rule, is a San Francisco or Los An- geles four-flusher whose knowledge of acting is 20 degrees below zero. He holds his job because of his ability to buneo, for that is what is wanted in ithe movie business. N EXT Meets — Ist & 3rd Thursday, Gaeee* Hall, 2048 Sie Avene. | Secretary.

The Deportation Menace Tony Stafford, former international board member of the United Mine Workers of America, was framed up by the coal operators and sent to prison for fiye years for his participation in a coal miners’ strike in West Virginia in 1917. The employers charged him with having dynamited the property of the coal conjpany. The legal ap- paratus of the state being owned and controlled by the operators carried out the wishes of the coal barons. Immediately after Stafford was released from jail, steps were taken by the department of labor to have him deported to Italy, his native land. He is now on his way unless he can be saved from the further persecution’ of Mussolini’s murderers by last minute efforts. The deportation Weapon is one of the many clubs held by the ruling class over the heads of foreign-born workers who refuse to bow the knee in submission to the bosses. Threat of its enforcement helps the capitalists to intimidate the workers who are not yet under the influence of revolutionary ideology. As the bas.)industries of this country, particularly the unskilled classification in those in- dustries are composed mainly of foreign-born workers it is quite evident that the deportation club is a very real danger, not only to the foreign-born but also to the native born. Why? Because a foreign-born worker can be deported for partic- ipating in a strike against a reduction in wages, for the closed shop » or for any other effort to improve the standard of living of the work- ers or ithprove their working conditions. Every worker knows that only thru collective action cay labor’s status be improved. It there- fore follows, if the capitalists succeed in intimidating the foreign- born workers from joining a union, or participating in the activities of the union, even to striking, which is the only effective weapon of the union to enforce its demands, that the effectiveness of the union is seriously impaired. Tony Stafford is one of the many workers whose loyalty to his class brought down upon his head the heavy hand of capitalist “justice.” Every effort must be made to prevent his deportation to the fascist hell of Italy. He leaves a wife and little children in Pitts- burgh, Pa. The International Defense is fighting for him and for his dependents. It is up to every class conscious worker in America to step4n and help in this fight. We must battle the deportation menace every inch of the way. es What Are the Causes of War? 3arney Baruch, millionaire stock gambler and chairman of the Editors Business Manager a 290 to the international relations division of the John Hopkins University for the purpose of making an investigation of the causes of war. If Baruch instead of spending a quarter of a million dollars on purchasable professors and professional investigators, bought five cents worth of Communist literature he would Jearn the causes of all wars under the present order of society. The answer can be condensed into one word and that is: eapitalism. The Herald-Examiner, the slimy Hearst sheet that fouls the morning air in Chicago, ventures to predict that the investigation will prove that while wars make some rich men richer it makes others poor and that rich men gladly make financial sacrifices for their ‘country in times of war. No doubt the investigation will prove that very fact, but in proving that it proves nothing. Who should make financial sacrificse for the country except those who own it? An editorial writer in the Boston Globe,.a bourgeois sheet, said that all modern wars “are gigantic industrial enterprises.” He made this observation after the armistice was signed. Others who said the same thing during the war found themselves in jail with sentences ranging from ten to twenty years hanging around their necks. All modern wars are caused by the conflicts between capitalist powers over the spoils of the earth. We do not expect the hired men of Barney Baruch’s dollars to bring out this fact, Like the so- cialist writer. they may blame the fecundity of Chinese women for the war in China. They may blame the-Riffian war on lack of bibles. They may discover that the late world war\resulted from the poisons of syphilus in the Kaiser’s system, which in turn poisoned his mind against his British relatives. They will most likely tell everything but the truth, \ The Hearst rag believes that war is inevitable pa that the first duty of the American people should be preparation for war. It quotes General Pershing approvingly when that “blackshirt” said: “I sincerely believe that complete preparation of this sort (for war) would be the greatest possible safeguard against jingoism at home and aggression from abroad.” We also believe that war is inevitable under capitalism and much tho we detest war, we believe that only a war of the producing classes, the workers and farmers, against the parasites, will bring everlasting peace to the human race. So long asa small group is permitted to exploit and rob the many there will be wars at home and abroad. There will be a constant war at home between the work- ers and thei¢ exploiters over the division of the product of the a x ‘et a us (Continuedyfrom. page 1) over departed ‘ruler§~ but because those methods always prove to be boomerangs. Te j * «* * HE workers look with a sus- picious eye. _articles about Russia or the class move- ment, appearing in the capitalist press. Even when the owners of those publications are willing to publish the truth, which is very rarely, their writ- ers are subject to temptations to color the news>. In the Moroccan war for instance, the French government pays good money to the foreign correspond- ents covering the Riffian hositities. Correspondents working or capitalist newspapers usually write what they are paid to write... ,, as 7 Ho" many pectiie: (notice that the United States government is try- ing to regain thecprestige in China which it lost to the Soviet govern- ment? There wasa time when the United States was looked upon as the “big brother” of the Chinese people. But that day is gone by. Soviet Rus- sia is the real and only friend of China today and the, Chinese people recognize that fact. While all the capitallst governments were devising new tricks to rob. ina the Soviet government tu around and treat- ed that country like an equal. The result is that the workers and peas- ants of that potentially mighty repub- lic of the Beast have faith in the Soviet government while they look with a jaundiced eye at all the move- ments and professions of friendship emanating from the capitalist powers. \ * + * F the bible is the divine word of the christian god, it must all stay as it is written.

Shock Troops. - Owens told of the progress of ‘the organization drive and pointed ‘out that the first meeting was held be- fore plant 18 during the month. of] March. Since then the campaign has been broadened till now it includes practically all body plants in Detroit. “You are the shock troops in. this struggle to retain your present liv-; ing standards,” said Owens. “The man-| = » : | Motors can put it over against the workers in plant 18 it is merely a: question of time until the same vicious cuts will be instituted in the other plant#® they control. Organization offers the only effective means of re- sistance.” How About That $45,000,000 Profit? Brother Collins, chairman of the strike committee, gave a report of the conference with the Fisher broth- ers. He told how the management continually sought to evade the real issue of the wage cuts by pleading peverty and that unless the cuts were allowed to stand the company would have to go out of business. The man- agement. was conveniently silent about the $45,000,000 mellon that General Motors had cut for their stockholders last year. They propose to increase dividends at the expense of the work- ers’ living standards. “They cannot}. get away with it,” said Collins, “if Wwe put up an organized resitance.” Brother Logan told of the history of past struggles with the auto manu- * facturers in Detroit, and the need of drawing on the experience of past vic- tories and defeats for the proper con- duct ofthe present controversy. He offered a number of concrete sugges- tions which the strike committee wit utilize. Build Local 127. The meeting adjourned with the men in splendid spirit and they left the hall with the determination of! building up Local 127 so that it will be an effective weapon in the arsenal of the auto workers of Detroit. ; This is the leading center of the auto industry thruout the world. Millions of dollars are invested in buildings and equipment. Upwards to 300,000 auto workers are employed here, all of which places the auto workers in an extremely strategic} position. Properly organized they can compel almost any demand they see fit to present. The spirit of Friday’s meeting in- dicates that Local No. 127 will soon occupy its proper place in the world of labor and will become the most powerful union in Detroit.

What particular form of “force and violence” the strikers will be accuséd of, is, of course, known only to th; company gunmen; but it is expected that this legal trap will be set for the striking defendants. The com- pany sleuths have nothing to do but to manufacture false evidence and to escort the scabs home at night. As there are usually no more than two or three scabs, this means that most of their time is spent hatching deviltry. Besides their own dicks, the com- pany has at its disposal the regular services of two city detectives besides a —— sergeant and as many cops - the sergeant wants to haul out, he number ranging from‘-25 to 100, daily and nightly: “It is rumoured that this is the sergeant’s last ‘year of active duty béfore being retired on a $1,300 year- “pension. Fear lést he fail to please e powers that grant pensions keeps this fat politician on the jump order- ing his men to make arrests.

It Is a common illusion among the strikers that the police are paid for by the boss. Many think that the boss ‘is forced to pay the city $10.00 daily, at least, for patrol service. Such is emphatically not the case, the cops report, saying that their duty, as policemen, consists in “protecting private property” and that when any boss calls up over the phone and says that his property is in danger, ‘then the squad must furn out and must Stay on the job as long as there is the “danger.” “So the city provides the tailoring company with 50 or 100 police, it matters not how many, for as long as the strike lasts, and throws in a cou- ple of detectives, to boot, to help out the company thugs when they are hard up for “frame-ups.” But the united front of boss, police and injunction judges looks pretty sick when compared Ao the united front of the eight hundred clothing workers, backed by hundreds of thous- | then — lay them$elves open Bit bei their be an investigation | ot ie measure Of the A.

The United Textile Workers Union has set up a colony of 18 and a community kitchen for evicted strikers just beyond town limits on ihe grassy field above a stream. Children of the strikers, those over 14 relieved temporarily from mill work, enjoy swimming and paddling in the stream these warm summer | days. Company tenements are mostly one and a half story colonial houses, five small rooms to a family, two families to a house. Each room has only one window. About 180 houses, some lar- . ger and more congested, are owned by the thread mill and rented to work- ers. When two families with five or vmore children each occupy almost every house, there is real crowding. Some striké breakers dre housed in one of the houses at present and are taken to and from the huge mili in a light truck, guarded by stato rpolice. Company agent Don H. Curtis claims that 700 persons are, working. Actually there are not 70 strike break- ers in the whole mill and these are out of town girls and boys for the most part. Deportations Dropped.

IRE RIAE OITA TG: OP IIe Pea “WHY AMERICA WANTS TO CONQUER EUROPE.” By EUGENE PAUL, (Jay Lovestone: “Why America Wants to Conquer Europe,” published in German by Carl Hoym Nachf.) § apne pamphlet, made exceedingly comprehensive by its short para- graphs, deals with the most import- ant and most,/fundamental of-all pres- ent international questions,—the ques- tion of peaceful conquest of Europe by the United States of America, The author points out thal the ag- gressive policies of the Yankee, since the end of the war, have reached their climax in the Dawes plan. This is not an improvization, but the clearest expression of systematic man- euvers of the best heads of the ruling class of America; the results of the development of American imperialism itself, which proceeds on a very dis- tinct road, and toward very distinct goal. He pictures, in>a general outline, the progress “from Pershing » to Dawes” and illuminated, with = “Tight- ning-like clearness, the Monroe Doc-' trine, the H Doctrine, and the rDawes plan “three stages of the imperialist ‘lopment of America,” senting them in — New York mar- } § ket. ™M xh a | é Suites Lal mi R hae R hee “te MK ow oe SUUTER ATER ; Soma eee cee ites bsdesattrconstie }and also mestances eo on RA TL 2 —_ ei the one hand, juvead the American capitalists, and on the other hand, Tmade it’ possible for them to grad- ually make out of Burope and Ameri- can colony. How the dollar has flood- ed Europe, aod has subjugated Eu- rope, is described in a.gripping man- ner. Lovestone then investigates the ef- fects of this peaceful war for con- quest of American capital upon the position and development of the American working class, and proves that the Dawes plan, “this most mon- strous enslavement plan. which has ever been conceived” means not only \the lowering of wages, unemployment, and thus increased misery for the German people, and the other peoples of Burope but also for the American proletariat. Politically the Dawes plan must result in driving together the social traitors of the labor aristoc- racy, and imperialism must thus forge the slave chains stronger and more formidably. But this triumphant march of the American dollar must also be fatal to world peace. “The capitalist invest- ments of the Yankee groups are the seed of a new war”’-—states Lovestone very correctly. Far from lessening or reconciling the imperialist antagon- “ne they are sharpened and thus the ath - «), * Oe Ae te eee — , : = SS a CAS 5 i ¥, ¥t re > ; rg ‘ sores . rt 7 4 . e i oe voi . . ~~ x ee erretoert ares wate: le eee Se ~, coming of the new war is inevitable. Besides this, the class struggles in the Dawesified states of Europe are becoming more sharp, and gradually even the insistence of the capitalists in these countries against the receiy- ership and against the unlimited die tatorship of America will develop. ~ Finally, the author draws a ‘light- ning picture of the relationship of American capital in Europe to France, to Germany, to England, and to So- viet Russia, and consequently to the conclusion that only the united’ revo- lutionary struggle of the proletariat of all countries will succeed in avert- ing the dangers of American imper- ialism, advancing under the guise of the Dawes plan. Jay Lovestone succeeds extremely well in making up the essentials of such a far reaching theme as the one dealt . with, and in making it clear without long winded. explanations, It is too bad that this little work has, comparatively speaking, many typographical errors.
