These organiza- tions level their principal attacks against England and declare that the British are using the Americans as pawns in the game being played here. The claim is further made that Downing street is trying to improve its position in China by giving all assaults upon the Chinese people the color of international action. “While this is unquestionably. the case it enables the agents of the American banking combine, the House of Mofgan, to continue to play the people against sion. imperialis*\ Morgan's Slimy Trail.

Ble i * Only Party Has Worker Candidate for Mayor EDWARD ROYCE, (Workers: Correspondent) NEW YORK, Oct. Out of the numerous parties running their can- didates for office in the mayoraity campaign in N. Y., there is only one party. which has a worker as candi- date for mayor. Ben Gitlow, the Workers Party nominee for mayor, was in the clothing industry for many years. His activity in the trade union movement in N. Y. and thruout the country, has gained him the bitterest enmity of the bosses, and their instrument of oppression, the government, Because Gitlow has for the past 15 years fought in the forefront of labor as a militant ex- ponent of the need for international trade union unity of the workers, for a labor party, for the abolition of wage slavery, against government by injunction, against the open shop, for recognition of Soviet Ras sia, for complete independence of the Philippines, Hawall, Santa Do- mingo, for war against imperialist war, and for a workers’ and farm- ers’ government in America, the capitalist claes has given him a 10 year sentence, four years of which he has already served. He is now dut on bail. Running omthe ticket for control- ler is Wililiam Weinstone, member of the Centre Executive Committee of the Workers Party, who was ac- tive in the labor movement as sec- retary of the Friends of Soviet Rus- sia, International Workers’ Aid, and other labor .organizations. And as president of the board of aldermen, Chas. Krumbein, a worker who has also given his best to the working class movement for a great many years, as a labor organizer. On Sunday, Oct. 11, at the Man- hattan Lyceum, 66 E. 4th St., the Workers Party together with a large number of trade unions will hold a mass meeting for the purpose of creating a united labor ticket.

After the death of, Harding and the succession to the presidency of Cal. Coolidge, the Teapot Dome scandal engulfed. the administration in a sea of oll. Daugherty, Who all his life has been a ward-lieéling political crook of the bar-room type, had fail- ed to cover up his slimy trail of graft and corruption and was the center df an investigation that shook the ad- ministration. President Coolidge defended Daugh- erty as long as he dared and only re- luctantly requested his resignation. Since that time the boodle gang in Ohio has been trying to stage a come- back for Daugherty, whilé the former attorney general, himself, is said to be writing a book on the Harding ad- ministration. Those who know Daugh- erty assert that his alleged writing of a book is a hoax as Daugherty is too ignorant to achieve such a thing. Such a book may be in process of completion, but it will have to bef written by someone other than Daugh- erty. Willis May Oppose Him. Senator Frank B. Willis, a political protege of Daugherty, will possibly contest the republican nomination ‘ith Daugherty. If he does, he will, it .s said, violate an agreement which he made with Daugherty when the former Harding manager and cabinet member ushered Willis into the sen- ate chamber. On the democratic side there are three candidates. Judge Florence Allen, of Cuyahoga county, the only woman supreme court justice in America, is tentatively a senatorial possibility. She is opposed by Maude Murray Miller, who was formerly the society reporter on James M. Cox's Springfield (Ohio) News. But the third and real candidate now is Claude Meeker, Columbus financier-democratic organization sup- porter, delegate to many national de- mocratic conventions, and once, under Cleveland, consul to Bradford, Eng- land.

This cOmmittee has been a mere de- coration in the past, consisting of fraternal delegates that have gone to the British Trade Union Congress. The spirit that animates the commit- tee is shown by the reply to an in- yuiry as to when the committee would meet “Oh, we'll get together in a week or 80.“ Hayes to Support Purcell Delegate Max Hayes, of the Typo- graphical Union, declares he in favor of both the Purcell re mendations, and may lead the fight for them in ther committee. Hayes says he will vote and probably speak for the re- cognition of Soviet Russia resolution. The accepted fact that the interna- tional labor relations committee is not supposed to function is shown by the referring of the trade union unity resolution to the resolutions commit- te instead of the former to which it should have gone. The Soviet recogn- ition resolution has gone to the same committee, The first progressive resolution to come before the convention was that on the organization of the unorgan- ized, it was ordered referred to the executive council which is considered a burial ground for convention resolu- tions.
