De- troit won out over Birmingham, Ala- bama, by a vote of 15,879 to 11,609 after Los Angeles and Sacramento, California, had been forced out of the race. 2 All the old officers were re-elected without opposition. George L. „Majah“ Berry, of the Printing Press- men, nominated Frank L. Morrison, for re-election as secretary. Morrison is a member of the Printers’ Union and one of the leaders of the so-called “progressive” machine in that organ- ization, which is opposed to the Lynch machine. This seems to indicate enmity between Lynch and Berry that may be carried into the allied printing trades. It further shows that the “progressives” in the Typo- graphical Union receive support from such a notorious reactionary as Berry. The orgapization committee could find no objéction to the resolution de- mänding the organization of, Negro workers.

As to this demand and ö the demand for the discharge of of- ficiais responsible for the outrage the president said “these are mat- ters the courts must handle.” A gesture by the cabinet to relieve unemployment today embodies re- commendation that public works be increased. The proposed projects include a medical: school as the first unit of a university to bear the name of Bolivar and an insane asylum. The workers recommend the cabinet members as the first inmates of the latter.

The tens of thousands of workers and peasants it has imprisoned, tortured and murdered, have not yet satisfied its blond lust. The white terror is taking on a 8 intensity. The attempt to destroy the labor 8 of Hungary has falied. Wholesale torture and murder has not been able to stifle the memory of the glori- ous workers’ revolution of 1919. The spark is still alive and the labor movement of Hungary is ris- ing again. The answer of the Horthy regime is: new tortures and murders. in recent days, more than 100 left socialist workers belonging to the Indepen- dent Socialist Party have been arrested and are fac- ing immediate trial by court martial. Among those arrested is Mathias Rakosi, formerly people's com- missar | the tevefuttortary government. Cablegrams from Berlin warn that these workers are slated for conviction within three days and execution within two hours after sentence. The heroic’ deeds of Comrade Rakosi are an in- spiration to the revolutionary workers of the entire world. Braving all dangers, taking his life in his hands, -he went back into Hungary for the fifth time since the fall of the Soviet government. Working quietly, understhe very eyes of the police, he gathered the scattered forces together and inspired them to renewed efforté. His work began to bear fruit. New signs of Ife appeared in the workers’ movement. Horthy’s bloodhounds finally captured him. The police machine outdid itself in the attempt to extort information from Comrade Rakosi. He was beaten and tortured for days. His spine was broken by the blood-thirsty mercenaries. But all to no avail. At the hearing to which he was carried more dead than alive, he proudly defended Communism and re- fused to betnay his comrades. in a day or two, he will be court-martialed. it is the announced inten- New arrests, , tion of the government of. white terror to execute him and the other workers recently arrested. The International Labor Defense pledged itself at the National Conference on June 28, to defend the persecuted victims of the white terror in all lands. t is exerting all its energies and resources to arouse the most wide-spread protest of the American workers against the execution of Mathias Rakosi, and the other workers who face court-martial with him. Workers of America! Do not be indifferent to the fate of your class brothers in bloody Hungary. You have special reason to be concerned. Hungarian capitalism is not something separate and apart from American capitalism. The Horthy murder regime is only the puppet of Wall Street. The dollars of Wall Street prop it up. The financial czar of the Horthy government is Jeremiah Smith, the agent of Morgan & Co. Part of the profits coined out of the sweat and blood and tears of the outraged working class ‘of Hungary go to the Wall Street backers of the Horthy government. Wall Street has an interest in supporting the bloody deeds of Horthy and in suppressing all news about them. You workers have an interest to expose and protest against them. The fight of the Hungarian workers is your fight. Workers of ‘America! Join the mighty protest movement to rescue the Hungarian workers from the Horthy hangmen. Organize proté8t meetings every- where. Pass resolutions in all labor, organizations and send them to the Hungarian ambassador at Washington. Help us to turn the searchlight of publicity on the beastly action of the. Hungarian white terror. Smash the conspiracy of silence!

Fight Gains Strength. That the campaign to save the Hun- Arten workers from the gallows is gaming impetus is shown by the fol- garian government by a committee of prominent liberals, headed by ‘Upton Sinclair and Roger Baldwin. | The telegram made public by the In- ternational Labor Defense reads: “Bethien, “Prime Minister, “Budapest, Mungary. “Deeply concerned about reports from Berlin of torture of political prisoners and court martial and threatened execution of more than one hundred including Mathias Rakosi, people's commissar in the former revo- lutionary government.

Reports of demogtstrations and mass metings are pouring into the national office ofgthe International Labor De- tense, the headquarters of the anti- Horthy campaign. The two largest protest meetings are expected to be held in New York and Chicago, where arrangements are already made. The New York demonstration will be held at 1 p. m. today in Unton Square and speakers from many or- ganizations, labor and liberal, will participate. The principal speakers at the Chi- cago protest meeting will be Rey. David Rhys Williams, Ralph. Chaplin, James P. Cannon and R. Sauser. The meeting will be held in Prudential Hall, corner of North Ave. and Halsted St. and will begin promptly at 8 p. m., Tuesday, Oct. 20. In addition the following cities are arranging demonstrations of protest against the proposed execution of Rakosi and his comrades by the dorthy government: Boston, Phila- lelphia, Buffalo, .Washington, Pitts- burgh, Cleveland, Detroit, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, San Fran- cisco, Portland and Seattle. Chicago organizations representing 20,000 workers and liberals dispatched a telegram to the Hungarian embassy * threatened execution of Rakosi and his fellow workers. Among those signing the telegram are Clarence Darrow, William H. Wolly, David Rhys Williams, Dr. Norman D. Barr and E. C. Wentworth. James P.

Strawn Train Held Up When Silas H. Strawn, Standard Ol attorney and American delegate to the Peking conference tried to leave Shanghai for Peking late Thurs- day, his train was first delayed by troop trains of the Fengtien forces moving out of the Shanghai area to take positions along the Shanghai- Nanking railroad, and the Strawn | train was later nearly wrecked when the line was cut at Wasih and the train seized by soldiers, ? Upon orders from Peking the train was released, however, and allowed to proceed. ’ Fengtien troops to the number of 8,000 are withdrawing ffom Shanghai area to shorten the line of expected attack from the Chekiang and Chihli forces from the south and west. These torces evidently aim to drive the Fengtien troops out of the Shanghai area and northward out of Kiangsu province, seeking to control the Yangtze valley with its rich income of customes and to hold it as an ac- complished fact before the much talked of tariff conference has any- thing to say about it. May Create General Warfare The fighting, if persisted in, may extend into Honan province to the west and up the Yangize valley to central China. It has péssibilities of completely disrupting the tariff con- ference and creating conditions that will force direct dealing with the na- tionalist movement by the imperialist powers. — Both railway lines out of Shanghai are in the possession of Fengtien troops, who are said to be preparing to make a stand to the west near Soochow. 2 N.Y.

Communist Issue a Statement The Workers (Commanist) Party, in a statement, points out that in real- ity “Gitlow is barred beeause of his activities on behalf of the -workers, just as he was jailed because of his activities on behalf of the workers. His activities in coal strike, his fight against injunctions and the use of the courts aganst the workers, his serv- ice to the noedle trades workers, his defense of the foreign-born, and his long record of milftant working class activities—these are the true reasong for his exclusion. The workers will take up the fight to compel the elec- tion board to reverse its decision.” Gitiow’s Views on Ban Gitlow has issued the following statement on the action of the elec- tiong board: “A government whose courts enjoin picketing, whose police are used as strike-breakers, a government which has jailed me as it has jailed hun- dreds of other workers for their pol- itical activities on behalf of their fellow-workers, is to be expected, to take such action as it has taken to day in barring me from the ballot after I had been placed on it by the requisite number of petitions. Real Reason tor Discrimination “Excuses for attacking the workers are always to be found. Injunctions and the use of police against picket- lines are defended under the pretext of ‘protecting freedom of contract,’ Saklatvala was barred from exposing British and world imperialism under the pretense that the immigration laws were being enforced. I am bar- red as a ‘felon’ after being convicted for the ‘crime’ of defending the workers. “I shall not abandon my campaign. On the contrary, I shall intensify it, for our work in this campaign is dir- ected precisely against this use of the government machinery against the workers activities.

LOUIS ENGDAHL. (Special to The Daily Worker) ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct. 16.— Altho it had the great majority of delegates with it, the Green regime in the A. F. of L. convention here visibly felt itself fighting on the de- fensive in its struggle against the labor party resolution, introduced as a challenge to the “non-partisan” pol- icy of supporting the two Wall Street parties. Not only old reactionary. wheel horses like President Lynch of the Printers’ Union and John P. Frey, edi- tor of the Moulders’ Journal, and pres- ident of the Ohio Federation of La- bor, had to rally to the support of the resolutions committee, but Presi- dent Green himself took the floor to apologize for the political policy urg ed by the executive council, and ad- mitted that the labor party policy would some day be adopted. Rejected After Big Fight. The labor party ons drew most blood from the administration and secured most support among the delegates of all tha progressive pro- positions that came before the gath- ering. It was rejected, of course, demanding world trade union unity and recogni- tion of the Union ot Soviet Repub- lics. Terrible Mistake of Printer. Progressivism rose to taunt the Green administration immediately af- ter the day’s session got under way, when it was discovered that the print- ed report of yesterday's proceedings showed the resolution attacking class collaboration concurred in by the committee and adopted by the con- vention. “The chair knows that the resolu- tion was defeated. I was watching that resolution very closely,” declar- ed President Green and ordered that the printed minutes be changed. The labor party resolution was at- tacked by the committee as contain- ing “revolutionary philosophy”. be- cause it sought political co-operation with the socialist and Communist parties amd because it inferred that the government was a thing apart from the American people. Fitzsimmons Fights for Labor Party. Delegate Fitzsimmons of the Can- ton, Ohio, Central Labor Union, open- ed the discussion by declaring that the labor party was something that labor needs. He pointed out that delegates had already confessed the non-partisan policy was a method by which promises were secured ‘from | politicians who considered such prom- ises merely fish hooks to catch suck - ers. He declared the labor party idea was making progress and that steps must be taken to “get our own men in congress.” Hayes Supports Revolution. Delegate Max Hayes of the Print- ers’ Union, next got the floor and tried to ‘quiet the fears of the ad- ministration as to the revolutionary character of the resolution. Hayes declared it was necessary to have an opposition as well as an administra- tion group in the convention in or- der to secure clash of conflicting views on vital issues. He declared the labor party resolution fundamen- tally correct, and I'll support it if I have to stand alone. “It may be that the workers right now are too interested in movies, prize fights, dog fights, tin lizzies and the manufacture of hootch; but that is no argument against the resolution. This labor question is not going to be solved on the industrial fleld alone. We must back up our industrial with our political power.” Sooner Or Later. He reviewed the strike of the an- thracite coal miners and showed the power of the non-producing parasiti- cal class thru its ownership of na- tural resources, concluding that “Sooner or later you will find it nec- essary to establish an independent political movement. instead of follow- ing your non-partisan policy that con- tains a lot of beautiful rheotoric that gets nowhere.’ Hayes denied the results claimed by the executive council in its report for thig policy. Any Time, But Not Now. Delegate Lynch said conditions were better in this country than any /where else and therefore, the labor party was not needed. He raised the fake argument that this was an at- tempt to substitute the labor party for the trade unions, He said, “The time for the labor party is not now. The report of the committee is sound for its time,” confessing that the time will come when the labor party will come into being. Delegate Frey confessed he had had Karl Marx’s “ ‘Capital’ in his library for the last 25 years.” It did not seem to have done him any good. He told the delegates with great ado that the Marxian philosophy seeks to destroy the wages system, leaving the impression that he was for the wages system. Green Boosts Young Bob. President Green declared the ma jority did not believe that progress could be made now thru independent political action. He claimed the election of young victory for the A, F. of L. policy and ter conditions for the workers of this country than had been achieved in other countries where labor parties were in existence. “There may be a time when we can organize a labor party” declared | Green, claiming that that time would 1 2 LaFollette was a claimed the A, F. of L. had won bet- force or revolution.

Worried Over 1926 Election (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, Oct, 16—If Gov. Ed. Jackson of Indiana, pays any heed to the flocks of telegrams and long distance telephone calls that are going his way from republican lead- ers in the capital he will appoint Al- bert J. Beveridge to the senate va- cancy caused by the death of Sena- tor Samuel M. Ralston. President Coolidge was being urged today by these same republican lead- ers to exert his influence in Beve- ridge’s behalf, but with what success is not known. The president, while very friendly to and with Beveridge, has some embarrassment in the mat- ter because his. secretary, Everett Sanders, also is regarded as an as- * a ’ 7 5 .

Republican leaders are viewing the senatorial elections next year with considerable foreboding anyway, and they desire harmony wherever and whenever it is obtainable. Thirty-three senators are up for re- election next year, and control of the senate hingés upon the results. Or- dinarily the republicans would not be unduly concerned, but it happens, that an odd twist in the electoral wheel has so arranged it that of the 83 seats at stake only eight of them are demo- cratic, and of these eight all but one licans cannot possibly hope to gain a seat. The eighth is in Indiana. Thus, the democrats stand to lose virtually nothing, and the republicans stand to lose control of the senate should there be such a wave as that in 1922, which carried many republi- can senators into the political discard. Soldiers on Special Job at Panama Zone, Says State Secretary WASHING9JON, Oct. 16.—Secretary of State Kellogg explains that the sending of American soldiers into Panama City, from the Canal Zone, to shoot down rent-strikers who refused to disperse, was police duty author- ized in the Panama treaty of 1903. That treaty provides that whenever, in the opinion of the Washington gov- ernment, the Panama government can- not maintain order in Panama City, Colon and waters adjacent, American troops may be used for the purpose. On this occasion the president of Pan- ama asked that they be sent in. The strikers had demanded that landlords be ‘satisfied with 12 to 18 per cent of the value of the rented prop- erties, as rental. The owners refused. Crowds gathered and speeches were made. Then the soldiers appeared and fired at the leaders in the crowd of strikers, Several deaths resulted. Teachers’ Meeting Saturday.

BERLIN, Oct. 16—Altho the allies may hail the creation of a zone of perpetual neutrality along the Rhine as the greatest step toward European peace in years and possibly even more momentous than the Versailles treaty, the German nationalists were inclined to view the proceedings with pessi- mism today. The nationalist press denounced the allies’ optimism regarding the out- come of the Locarno deliberation as a “false alarm” designed to silence German opposition to the agree- ments. The newspapers warned their readers against premature il- lusſons.

Jackson is a re- publican and is expected to name a republican, thus incfeasing the repub- lican majority in the next senate.

LOUIS ENGDAHL WILLIAM F MORITZ J. LOEB : - DUNN® T. a, — cago, III., under the act of — — The H ugarian Persecutions Unless the American workers, in co-operation with the workers in all countries, make it quite clear to the Hungarian hangman Horthy that he cannot slaughter with impunity the flower of the Hungarian working class, the world will soon see carried out in Hungary an exhibition of bestial cruelty against the working class equal if not surpassing the recent bloody orgy of the Zankov gov- ernment in Bulgaria. According to information supplied by the Wüste Labor Defense to Tur Darty Worker, Horthy’s police have arrested sev- eral members of the independent socialist party, who are scheduled for trial before an extraordinary court martial. None of our readers have to be told the dreaded significance of such a trial. It means murder and nothing else. Those workers are guilty of a most heinous crime in the eyes of the capitalists. They have tried to organize their class. They have endeavored to forge a weapon that would free the workers and peasants from the grip of the executiorier Horthy. For this crime they must die, unless the workers of the world make it clear to Horthy that he will pay thru the nose for every injury he inflicts on the leaders of the Hungarian workers. Among those in the toils of Horthy’s gunmen is Mathias Rakosi, former peoples’ commissar in the Hungarian Soviet government and later on secretary of the Communist International. No doubt Horthy will be more than pleased to swing Rakosi on the scaffold. And it should not be forgotten, that Horthy’s bloody regime is sup- ported by the dollars of Wall Street. In fact, an agent of the House of Morgan, has direct charge of the financial affairs of the Hungarian government. The hand of Wall Street can be seen in a new orgy of persecutions started against the workers of Hungary. The American workers should rally to the call of the Interna- tional Labor Defense to come to the defense of their comrades in Hungary who face the gallows for their loyalty to their class. | They should rally to them as they did in defense of Tom Mooney and Billings, Sacco and Vanzetti and other victims of the capitalist class in America. The hand of Wall Street is stretched out across thousands of miles to snuff out the lives of our Hungarian brothers. We hope that the Amerian workers will not stand idly by and allow the capitalists to murder the flower of théir class. THe Dairy Worker urges its readers to actively co-operate with the International Labor Defense in making the mass meetings and demonstrations against the new Horthy persecutions a success. Save Rakosi and his comrades from the gallows! | Poland Gets It in the Neck at Locarno France has done rather well at Locarno but it has been by sac- rificing her Polish ally.

According to the declarations made the league of nations must first agree that Germany is in the wrong in any dispute arising with Poland before France can come to Poland’s assistance. With Ger- many in the league backed by Great Britain, with the rebuilding of "German industry a major necessity for Great Britain to enable her to play Germany against France, Poland has what is called in the vernacular, “a fat chance” of getting anything but sympathy from her ally in, for instance, a dispute arising over the Silesian coal Felds.

Enthusiasm for acting as the shock troops of western imperialism against Soviet Russia is bound to wane as a Cera. result of the double-crossing which was her portion at the hands of allies. lt is probable that the Polish delegates would have raised more el] at Locarno than they did had not the posterior portions of For- an Minister Skrazynski been still smarting from the spanking “:anded out by Morgan’s diplomats at the first sign of Poland’s inten- tion to throw a monkey-wrench into the “peace-making” machinery in Locarno. } 1 American Imperialism in Africa In the relentless campaign to dominate the world Wall Street is to make a hundred million dollar plunge into. Liberia, on the west coast of Africa. This vast sum is to be expanded under the direction of Harry 8. Firestone, head of the tire-and rubber con- cern that bears his name and is one more step in the development of u crude rubber monopoly that will challenge the supremacy of the British who now control about three-fifths of the present available supply in the world, while the United States, tho producing very little crude rubber, consumes four-fifths of the world’s supply. Tho the United States leads the world in the production of auto- mobiles, American capitalism was not sufficiently vigilant in secur- ing control of the raw material for this important auxiliary, wth the result that Great Britain has sufficient monopolistic control of rubber to establish a mechanical system of restriction of output in order to keep up the:price and help pay her enormous war debts. The rapid rise of the price of rubber products during the past year as a result of British restriction has caused a near-crisis. Hence the mad scramble on the part of American capital to develop the preduction of crude rubber. A survey recently con- ducted in the Philippine Islands shows vast potentialities there. American finance capital is to take care of that development. This is closely followed by the sudden philanthropic desire on the part of this country’s financiers to bring the blessings of civilization to the inhabitants of the dark continent (providing they live in the potential rubber growing belt not already controlled by British or Dutch).

The fight to get the United States government permanently out of Pan- ama is thus a fight against the whole policy of American imperialism.

In the concrete case of Panama, they must demand the in- stant withdrawal of all American troops, the abrogation of the vicious treaty of 1904, and the abandonment of all claim to a be over the republic. Panama was brought into the imper- ial system, and the Dominican re- public later came under the financial supervision of the United States; President Taft landed and maintained a body of marines in Nicaragua, and proposed to place both that country and Honduras under financial super- vision; President Wilson went fur- ther and assumed the administration of Haitian affairs, leased from Nicara- gua for a term of 99 years a naval base on Fonseca Bay, and purchased the Danish West Indies (now the Vir- gin Islands).

Then, instead of dwelling in darkness and worshiping their dead ancestors they will be taught the religion of humility, subserviency, and be permitted to slave on the “model plantations” and live in company houses while producing rubber for the glory of the American benefactors. When they die they will receive their reward as Paul LaFargue said “with pay checks on the bank of heaven.” This first hundred million signifies a momentous step in Ameri- can policy.

The army, in the short hours of the night of Sept. 25th, cleaned out all counter-revolutionary troops, arrest- ed those implicated in the murder of Mr. Liao Chung-kai, and when people awoke on the morning of the 26th [there was not a soldier to be seen anywhere on the streets. Perfect or- der reigned in the city. This was most unusual in Canton. N Relations between the merchants and workers in Canton seem to be very cordial and even friendly, judg- ing by many conferences they had in recent days, where they always cOme to a full understanding in matters affecting their common interests.

Strike Intensified. A delegation of various classes of people is to proceed to Peking within a few days for the purpose of co-op- erating with Peking in a foreign pol- icy of China. It is understood that this delegation will transfer local griev- ances arising from the Shameen inci- dent in Peking and will there deal| with them. This is considered as a serious step forward in the direction of the general settlement. The strike, strange to say, is be- coming more serious, owing to strengthening of strike organizations and large sums of money daily coming in from all sources, especially from the Chinese overseas. that with the departure of thes dele- gation new developments in the strike situation may be expected. Very much depends no a sane atti- tude of Hongkong. Unfortunately, it still demands intervention in Canton, instead of pursuing a policy of recon- ciliation and mutual understanding.
