(Special to “The Daily Worker”) MOSCOW.—E in the afternoon elections are daily being held for re- presentatives in the Moscow Soviet of certain of the institutions in the “Chi- nese City.” Elections have been go- ing on for over a week all over the city and will continue another two weeks or so. Amid cheers and stamping of feet, the nounced in the large hall where the union is holding the election. And, true to Russian nature, the newly- elected delegates are called upon to give speeches to the crowd that has elected them. Of course, the Russians enjoy that—making speeches or lis- \tening to them, is their chief amuse- ment, | But the real fun is yet to begin. |The six elected delegates are still to |be marched to the Moscow Soviet and presented to it by those .who have elected them. Down the slippery streets, marches the boisterous pro- cession. Banners wave on high— beautiful red baners with gold letter- ing and gold emblems on them. Some of the banners announce what insti- tution it is that is marching along in such a hilarious spirit. Others ask the challenging question, “Germany, where is your October?” And one {announces the slogan which has be- jcome the favorite of Russia at pres- ent, “Russian Bread and the German} r shouting and results are an- ‘ a ice - covered J,» ed, photographed and finger-printed, like criminals, in an effort to subdue them and make it impossible for them to take part in the struggles of the working class for better wages and working conditions. Coupled with the laws directed against foreign-born workers in_ this country, there are proposals made particularly by Secretary of Labor Davis, for the selective immigration law which will still further strenghten the employers in their drive against the workers’ organizations of this country. Under the proposed selective immigration law, industries needing labor will present their demand to the Secretary of Labor and workers will be brought from Europe for the specified industry, bound to work in that industry, and under the absolute control of the masters in that industry. DANGER TO ORGANIZED LABOR While semingly these measures are directed against the foreign-born workers, there is in them the greatest danger for the labor organizations of this country that they have faced. If the employers of the United States can girect exception laws against forein-born workers and a contract labor law énslaving the foreign-born workers who are already here and provide for a new supply of slave labor, they can destroy every labor union in this country. The American’ employers are trying to do what no other capitalist group has been able to do; that is, to create a class of intimidated, oppressed, exploiters. If it is able to succeed, it will mean that not only the foreign- born workers, but the whole American working class will be under the iron heel of the capitalist. a FIGHTING THE EXCEPTION LAWS its Central Executive Committee to launch a campaign to unite all workers’ organizations, native and foreign-born, in a struggle against these laws. The Third National Convention of the Workers Party, which has just closed its session in Chicago, reiterated the former declaration and called which the Workers Party pointed out a year ago has now materialized in definitive laws pending before Congress. President Coolidge in his message to Congress demanded a law for the registration of the foreign-born workers.
