—— EE _ f / Tuy day, February 26, 1924 = pee FAD OF PUBLIC RAIL OWNERSHIP, IS DAWES PLAN German Workers Fight U. S. ‘Expert’s’ Scheme By LOUIS P, LOCHNER. (Staff Correspondent of The Federated Press) BERLIN, Feb, 25.—There is great uneasiness in German labor circles over the announcement that the inter- national conferences headed by Gen. Charles G, Dawes are considering the possibility of placiag the railway system of Germany, now state-owned, under private management as sccurity for an international loan, They point out that the thing for which the big industrials, headed by Hugo Stinnes, have been working for years, and which the German people have thus far resolutely set themselves against, is now in danger of becoming a reality. Industrialists After Railroads. The big industrialists have repeat- edly tried to grab the railroads. When at)\various times during the re- cent inflation period, the government turned to its own rich men to con- sider the possibilities of their advanc- ing a loan to the government, one of the stock answers was: ‘We'll furnish the cash if you'll let us have the rail- roads.” Now international capitalism is singing the’ same song, “Give capi- talism the government railroads and you’ll get your loan.” The workers have a two-fold rea- son for opposing the delivery of the railways into private hands. They regard such a step as a first step backward in social development. Once the railways are turned back, there is reason to think that the postoffice, the telephone and telegraph may next go into private hands, and private monopoly become ever more domi- nant. 8-Hour Day Endangered. Secondly, they know that the rail- way workers would be at the mercy , of industrialists who are now show- ing their cruelty in their destruction of the eight-hour day principle and in the low wages paid. And the workers at large will feel the cha: from a system operated for the ein lic good to one operated for private profit in inereased costs of transpor- tation and freight rates. Elaborate essays, which purport to prove that government ownership is a failure because the state is too lenient about keeping too big a per- sonnel. To this Heinrich Stroebel, one of the best known writers on eco- nomic problems in Germany, replies in effect as follpws in the weekly Politik und Wirthschaft: Public Ownership Sabotaged. It is true that, following the war, the government had to provide for large numbers of soldiers who were jobless, and that a number of these were taken into the railway service. But the extra expense incurred there- by is negligible when one considers that .at present wages and salaries make out only 16 per cent of the e: enditures of the railways. The rail- way deficit at present is not the fault of public ownership and management, There is a deficit because of mis- Management during the war; and be- cause private industry has outrage- ously overcharged the railway admin- istration in furnishing supplies, During the war, new construction stopped; copper parts were sup- planted by baser materials, cheap substitutes for grease and lubricating oils and great damage resulted. On top of it all Germany had to deliver 5,000 locomotives, 10,000 coaches and 150,000 freight cars to the allies. All this is now being charged w against the government railway ad- ministration in the attempt to dis- prove its worth. The workers are carrying on a systematic campaign of education among the masses to warn them of the dangers of “privatization” of the railways. Mexican Bolshevik Tendencies Worry Reactionary Papers (By The Federated Press) MEXICO CITY, Feb, 265.—The re- actionary organ, Excelsior, is great- ly worried about the danger of a split between “such reactionaries and respectables as Cool Hughes and Gompers, on the one hand, and such radicals and Bolsheviks as Obregon, Calles and Morones, on the other” if Dr. Siurob persists in his plan to convoke a new constituent assembly to modernize the Mexican tion, already much too “Bolshevik” for Excelsior, by “bringing it into bias with modern social tenden- ies.” “Hughes, Coolidge and Gom will never let < it,” warns oe celsior, “It will mean withdrawal of recognition on the part of the United States, and severance of connection between the Mexican ion Labor and the American Federation Labor. It will mean new rebellion and new mi for Mexico,” Alt of which is unusually frank for the Excelsior, and nearer to the truth than most of its editorial ele- ments, and rather quaint in its selec- tion of Hughes, Coolidge and Gom- pers to form the trinity of with which it tries to frighten the more radical elements here, Join the Workers Party.

Heads By ABRAM JAKIRA. (Special to The Daily Worker) PHILADELPIA, Pa.—The conference of various Trade Union and Fraternal Organizations of Philadelphia called for the purpose of protesting against the wholesale expulsions of active and well-known members from the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union was a success, notwithstanding the fact that the conference was called on short notice, 28 organ- izations were represented, The Jewish Workmen’s Circle was well represented despite the fact that the officials of that organ- ization announced reprisals against all members who dared to participate in the conference: Brother B. Neinstein, chairman of the Joint Board of the Amalgamated Clothing ‘Workers’ Union, presided, Weissman and Max Levine, former chairman of the Joint Board of the Cloak Makers’ Union, raade a very interesting report on the controversy which aroused the indignation of all present against the reactionary machine of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union. Expulsions Disrupt the Organization With facts in their hands the two expelled veterans of the labor move- ment brought to light several illum- inating facts exposing the tactics of the officialdom and the motives pehind the expulsions. It was no con- cern of the officials that the expul- sions, which were made contrary to the constitution of the union, led to a complete breakdown of the organ- ization. The total membership of the union was reduced from 1800 to but 900, even according to the official reports. Since the expulsions took place the union completely lost its control over the shops which took the radical elements years of hard strug- gle to establish. Against Dual Unions. The expelled members were strong enough and had a sufficient follow- ing to organize a union of their own, The masses are with them. In fact, the officials were making every effort possible to provoke them to start a new union. But the expelled members are against dual unionism. Their determination is to fight their way back into the existi: union which they themselves organized and built thru years of efforts and sacri-| and fices, League Not The Issue. Membership in the Trade Union Educational League was the official reason for the wholesale expulsions. This was only a blind to cover up the real issues involved. The expelled members offered te withdraw from the League for the sake of preserving unity in the organization. But the officials even refused to listen to this proposal and put up new conditions to make it impossible for the expelled members to return, Reinstated mem- bers are subject to monetary , in many cases sufficienly ‘hig! ent impossible. No office can be held by the reinstated for a period of one or two years. They must not read or support radical newspapers. They must not attend meetings addressed by radical speakers. They must not attend affairs arranged by radical organizations. One dress maker, who was not a member of the League and was in no way connected with it, was fined ten dollars for attending a Frei- heit ball,’ She refused to pay as a matter of pencils and was expelled from the Union. She ig compelled to work in an Open Shop. The Real Issue. The expelled members were con- stantly fighting for constructive measures dealing with union affairs, with conditions in the shops. It was because of this that they gained the| be: support of the rank and file of the union. This the officials feared. The radicals, for instance, were carryin on a bitter fight against the so-called h to make| Heh Esther lis a number of petty business men who join the union during the busy season by paying the required twenty- five dollars initiation fee. After the busy season is over these elements quit the union, “fish” themselves out of the union. (Hence the name “fish”.) The bona fide garment workers who stick to the trade all year round, in- cluding the slack periods, were natur- ally supporting the radicals in their fight against the “fish” who as a rule rime staunch supporters of the official- jom, Expulsions Affect Other Trades. Speaker after speaker, represent- atives of other trades, pointed out that the breakdown of the Ladies’ Garment Workers Union is playing into the hands of the bosses and has already seriously affected many other trades in the city. The situation is especially critical in view of the urgent need at the present moment to solidify the ranks of labor in order to be able to withstand the onslaughts of the employers. The conference therefore determined to take a hand in the controversy and adopted the following resolution calling upon the leaders of the trade union movement ¢f the city to bring pressure to bear on the officials of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers Union to have the expelled members reinstated. Resolution Adopted. Considering that the critical Loconaaer of the Garment Workers general labor movement of ‘fous crisis to far reaching results, and unity of the various tendencies within movement, Whereas, only thra united efforts will it be possible to fortify the positions of the unions, be it therefore Resolved, that we, the Conference of labor organizations of Philadelphia call upon the President and Secretary of the Central Labor P Union of Philadelphia—Brothers Hershberg and Birsch—who stand at the head of the labor movement of Philadelphia, and upon Brother Golden, State Organizer of the Amal- gamated Clothing Workers of America, our most powerful sister organization to the Inter- national, to act as a committee of three; Be it further resolved, that this committee be urged upon consultation with the expelled members of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers Union to get in touch with the of- ficers of the Cloak and Dressmakers Union in order to bring een the pane of ts and without conditions. ‘We are firmly convinced that this will serve the best interests of the labor movement in general and of the needle trades in particular by uniting all the forces for practical organ- ization work in the unions, Permanent Committee Elected. . A permanent committee of nine was elected to continue the work of the conference—to canvass all labor organizations of Philadelphia and urge them to raise their voice of pro- test against the disruption of the labor movement by the officials of the International Ladies’ Garment Work- ers Union, to collect funds for sup- port of the families of the expelled who are deprived by the union officials of the oportunity to work and to call another conference to consider fur- ther steps to be taken to compell the reinstatement of the expelled mem- Ts. Whether the officials of the Inter- national Ladies’ Garment Workers ig} Union will dare fight the entire labor movement of Philadelphia remains to “fish” elements in the union.

The ordinance is designed particu- larly to prevent the holding of the State Birth Control conference, ac- cording to Mrs. Margaret Sanger’s secretary in the American Birth Con- trol League.

WOLFE iy The Federated Press MEXICO CITY, Feb. 25,—The backbone of the counter-revolt is broken and the question of punish- ment or amnesty has become the order of the day. The forces of Enrique Hstrada on the western front, tho recently de- feated in @ sensational battle won by the heroism of a Yaqui Indian regi- ment which crossed a river under fire, have not been demoralized or scattered. Nor for that matter has the eastern army of the fascisti ceas- | ed to exist tho it is disorganized. Nevertheless the backbone of the counter-revolution is broken and both Vera Cruz and Guadalajara, the two former “fascist centers, have been occupied and normal train service is running to both. Vera Cruz, Key Point. The strategic importance of Vera Cruz as a custom center and corise- quent source of revenue, anf as the principal port of the republic, can- not be overemphasized. The taking of Guadalajara is not important strategically, but the victory accom- panying it, for the time, protected the railways to the north. One more strategic center remains to the hazards of combat—the oil fields of Tamaulipas. When the fas- cisti were beaten at Esperanza and Cordoba, they withdrew in fair de- gtee of intactness toward Tuxpan, the fascist military center in the oil district. This is the next federal objective and oil gives it a tremen- dous importance, On the other hand, the objective of the fascisti is Tampico. A success- ful occupation of the region from Tuxpan to Tampico would oil the bearings of the fascisti machinery considerably. But it is not likely. Ham Lewis After Concessions. Even the friends of the rebellion here are beginning to admit that the revolt will gradually be reduced ta civilization-destroying guerilla war-) fare. The government has begun aying its employes again, the Amer- jean concession hunters, headed this time by ex-Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, are back in the Hotel Regis, the broken economic life of the coun- try is slowly being repaired, and the big conservative dailies in the capi- tal are writing editorials in favor of amnesty to the fascisti and magnan- imity in the treatment of their leaders, Amnesty is the topic of the day. @ pro-government organ, El Demo- erata, has declared against it. “We must set such an example,” they de- clare, “that military elements will never again attempt a coup d’etat.” The secretary of Gobernacion (secre- tary of state) has issued a declara- tion in similar vein. |Constitution, as It Is, Suits Old Guard . Down to the Ground (By The Federated Press) Norris’ resolution proposing a con- stitutional amendment under which the congress shall assemble and _be- gin work on the first Monday in Jan- uary after its election, and that the president and vicepresident of: the United States shall take office on the third Monday in January following their election, is promised’ an early and favorable report from the judi- ciary committee of the senate. This report was due long ago, but the old guard membership has ins‘st- ed that the Wadsworth resolution shall be first reported, thereby giving it priority on the calendar. This poses a constitutional amen making more difficult the process of changing the constitution. It pro- vides that the members of at least one house in each of the legislatures that may ratify a proposed amend- ment must be elected after such amendment has been ig by congress or the states; also, that any state may require that ratification by its legislature shall be subject to confirmation popular vote, Still more remarkable, it provides that ratification ay be withdrawn by any state during the process of getting the necessary 36 states to ratify.

DAY, How have you curved the DAILY WORKER today? WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—Senator | Wadsworth resolutién »'pro- | dined THE POWER COLUMN Prepare for the ‘“‘Sub Campaign’”’ S was announced in The Power Column last week, THE - DAILY WORKER will carry on a campaign for 10,000 new subscribers by June 15. That is to say, the hundreds of members of the “I-want-to-make-THE DAILY {(WORKER-grow” club, ever increasing in numbers and in organization will cagry on the campaign which is destined to establish once and for all THE DAILY WORKER as a going institution in the life of the American wage-workers. Briefly stated, the features of the campaign will be the offer of special rates for trial subscriptions to new readers, premiums in the shape of free subscriptions to leading militant labor monthlies to present readers of THE DAILY WORKER who sell year’s subscriptions to their fellow workers, and a national competition between all industrial centers to determine where are the livest DAILY WORKER boosters and the strong- est militant labor movement. Branch and City Agents Needed Everywhere. ROM the basis of the present degree of organization which has been effected for THE DAILY WORKER it would be easy to guess in advance which cities will make the best record in the coming campaign. Those who have-been making it a habit to read The Power Column will know that wherever there has been established a working system of branch and city DAILY WORKER agents, there have been the places where THE DAILY WORKER has had the most rapid and steady growth. Every member of a labor organization will appreciate the value of proper organization to accomplish a desired end. The desired end in the case of THE DAILY WORKER is to secure an ever larger number of workers as steady readers, subscrib- ers for what is commonly admitted to be the best labor daily ever published in America. The means to that end is the organ- ization of the branch agency system by which THE DAILY WORKER may have accredited representatives everywhere who will make their business to increase the power and in- fluence of our paper in their locality by securing new readers. There is no guessing about the matter at all—once THE DAILY WORKER agency system is established in every working class center, the steady continuous growth of THE DAILY (WORKER is permanently assured. This fact was appreciated by THE DAILY WORKER business office even before our paper was published and a series of letters have been written to every Workers Party branch and every City Central committee, requesting that DAILY WORKER representatives be named for every Party unit. Up until now, not every unit has complied with this request. Even in some of the larger cities no city agent has been elected and in many Party branches there is no DAILY WORKER agent. We know that if the membership of the Workers Party all realize the tremendous importance of organization for the work of THE DAILY WORKER, that inside of two weeks there would be practically a 100% organization with a resultant tremen- dous increase of THE DAILY WORKER circulation every- where. Subscription Campaign to Start March 15 Complete Your Organization at Once. HE big Subscription Drive will start March 15. We know that the campaign will be highly successful in those places where organization is effected. Those cities and [Work- ers Party branches where no agents have yet been named, should see to it that during the next two weeks organization is effected. Members of the Workers Party should find out if their branch has a DAILY WORKER representative. If one has not yet been elected they should demand that this be done at the very next meeting and the name and address of the agent so named forwarded to THE DAILY WORKER. Delegates to City Central Committees should demand a report of THE DAILY WORKER activities in their city and if no one person has been put in charge, should see to it that a city agent is elected. The campaign starts March Fifteenth. Thoro organization means a successful campaign. < A successful campaign means at least 10,000 new DAILY WORKER readers by June Fifteenth. Ten thousand new readers means a bigger and better DAILY WORKER, a stronger and more solidified militant labor movement, another big step towards the emancipation of the working class.

Y., Feb. 25.—In protest against the legislation pending in Congress against the foreign born population of this country a rousing mass meeting was held in Lithuanian Hall, under the auspices of the Ukranian branch of the Workers Party. A resolution denouncing’ the Davis laws was unanimously adopted and forwarded to Congressman Meyer Jaconstein of the district. A series of other protest meetings will be held and plans are on foot for the forma- tion of an effective council for the Protection of the Foreign Born. The meeting was addressed by three speakers, one in English and two in Hugarian. They pointed out how the immigration policy of Amer- ica has changed. In the early days of the country American capitalists by deceit, lying and kidnapping colonized the coun- try. They kidnapped Negroes in Africa and whites in England. Thus it was that the constantly increasing tide of immigrants that actually built up American civilization were ob- tained. While American industry was expanding immigrants were wel- come, the speakers explained— especially if they were: not of a pro- gressive or revolutionary character. The attitude towards immigration has changed now, declared the speak- ers. With European labor becoming ever more revolutionary the capital- ist class is mustering its weapons to guard against any progressive moves by American labor. Selected immigrants registered, finger-printed and photographed, are considered not only as an assurance against radical movements by the foreign born, but as a club with which American workers can be beaten into line. Thus the Davis laws threaten the very existence of organized labor. Wages Rising in Russia as They Are Sinking Elsewhere MOSCOW, Feb. 25.—The Council of People’s Economy of Moscow has given out some scatistics concerning present salaries of Russian workers, which show the great improvement of labor in Russia as compared to other places. The average salary of a@ Moscow worker is equivalent to 22,5 rubles of merchan a_week (the same as before the war). Work- ers in the book publishing trade earn the highest salary, 32 rubles, and textile workers the lowest, 16 ru- bles (this means standard rubles). Compared to the pre-war salaries the present salaries stand at 80 per cent in Moscow, 64.7 per cent at Petrograd and 54.8 per cent in the province, where the cost of living is considerably lower. While in other countries, under the capitalist regime, there is a constant decrease of wages, as for instance in Germany, where wages are 20 per cent of pre-war rates, there is a continual increase in the workers’ republic of Russia. What is more, the purchase power of Russian money is going up, while that of other countries is going down. Teapot Dome Scandal Will Be Discussed at Membership Meeting The Teapot Dome scandal is stir- ring the country. It helps expose the corruption of the capitalist parties and capitalist politics in general. This is one more reason for our initiating a powerful campaign for a genuine labor party.
