About Pittsburgh (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON.—As soon as the senate ends its investigation of the Russian question it will be con- fronted with a demand for an in- vestigation of the extent to which civil liberties are violated thruout the country, Senator William E. Borah, of Ida-| ho, has introduced a_ resolution timed at putting a stop to the pr ent orgy of the violation of cons tutional rights by officers of the government. The bill provides that any ‘officer of the United States) government or any of its subdivi- sions found guilty of violating the civil rights or aiding in the viol tion of the constitutional rights} shall be punished by a fine not ex-| ceeding $5,000 or imprisonment not exceeding ten years or both. This bill is of particular impo’ tance now because of the contir outrages of the civil rights workers of Western Pennsylv where the Labor Defense and yerate struggle against the St and Coal Trust attempts to rail- road Workers Party members to jail. Senator Borah is interested in getting to the bottom of the Pitts- burgh-McKeesport situations, where | Workers Party members have been arrested and are facing trial. Monday, Jan. 21, Andrew T. Mc- Namara, Pittsburgh District Council President of the International Ass ciation of Machinists and of the American Federation of La- bor Section of the Labor Defense and Free Speech Council of Western Pennsylvania; Fred H: Merrick, one of the indicted workers, and Dis- trict Organizer of the Workers Party in Pittsburgh, and Jay Lovestone, who was arrested along with Mer- rick, Robert W. Dunn, of the Civil Liberties Union, and others in the recent free speech fights in Mc- Keesport, will see Senator Borah and} lay before him all the evidence of the gross violations of the civil rights: of the workers in this state. Senator Borah is preparing to force congressional action on the whole case.

New Drive to Put Quietus on Masks (By The Federated Press) NEW YORK.—Opponents of the Ku Klux Klan are manifesting re-| newed activity. A report from Dela- ware describes how a Kian meeting ‘was broken up at the point of re- volvers. _ Meanwhile, the campaign, surrep- titiously backed by the Klan, against the I. W. W. members in the state ot Washington has been ‘ abandoned, the prosecutor at Walla Walla re- buking the arresting officer. More significant is the bill, in- troduced into the New ocrat, aimed at secret societies and particularly at the Klan. The bill proposes the appointment of a com- mission, consisting of three senators, three assemblymen and five miscel- laneous public men, entrusted with an inquiry into the Klan and similar organizations and deciding what ac- tion, if any, the state should take against them. “Within this state,” said Berg, “a secret society is sowing the seeds of ‘religious discord and bigotry. I believe this organization should be investigated and, if current reperts are true its activities should be stopped.” Berg’s bill suggests a $5,000 ap- propriations for the expenses of the proposed commission. LEWIS WIRERS FLYZIK HE'S ON CONVENTION RESOLUTION COMMITTEE SEATTLE.—For the first time in 30 years the Roslyn-Cle Elum coal fields, employing 1500 miners, have ended a year’s work without having to record a single fatal accident, Pres, Martin J. Flyzik, Dist, 10, U. M. W. A., reports. Flyzik, who has investigated the mines in that field, ascribes this record to safety co- operation between the men, _ the union, the state inspector, and the company management. A strike vote at the Patrick mine has been rescinded as the result of an amicable settlement of differences between the men and the company, Flyzik reports. A telegram to Flyzik from John L. Lewis, international president, places*him on the resolutions com- mitee of the United Mine Workers’ convention, which will start at In- dianapolis, Jan, 22.

J.

The response we have gotten from the public whom we asked to sign our petitions for a raise shows that they are with us. “We will put up a campaign that will make the politicians’ heads swim if we are refused a raise,” he said. “Last year we had enough council- men lined up to assure us a raise. Just before a vote on the question certain councilmen who were sup- posed to be with us went out so that when the vote was taken our request for a raise was defeated. “If that happens again we will start our campaign all over again and make the council realize we QD Fleet to Tampico For Oil Interests (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON.—The defeat of a large force of de la Huerta’s army by federal troops near El Carmen, between Esperansa and Tehuacan is announced by the Mexican war of- fice. The rebels lost 200 killed and wounded. Permission to move 2,000 troops thru Texas for use on the gulf has been refused by Governor Davidson. Tampico is still blockaded by the de la Huerta forges, but it is reported that government batteries have driv- en their gunboats outside the har- bor. It is still impossible for mer- chant vessels to enter and the Unit- ed States government has decided to send a number of light cruisers to “relieve the situation.” It is believed that this action was hastened by the seizure by de la Huerta forces of the Panuco oil field, the rich field in which the Standard Oil and Royal Dutch Shell are large producers, Public Ownership Conference Wants U.S. Power Control editor of the Machinists’ Journal, and Jas.

Italy’s recent approach to Moscow is leading the Jugoslavian government, the other great Adriatic power, to ex- tend feelers towards the East. A Serbian plenipotentiary has been ne- gotiating with a Russian spokesman in Berlin. Besides the military treaty just concluded between Czechoslovakia and France, a political alliance, the terms of which are secret, is also in force between these countries.

McCarthy Will Speak Sunday When Terence MacSwiney was dying in Brixton prison, England, in 1920, as a result of a hunger strike which he declared in his heroic fight against British . Imperialism, the longshoremen of Boston, New York and other ports went on strike in an attempt to paralyze British shipping and thus force the British government to release MacSwiney.
