Page Two THE DAILY WORK RUSS COMMUNIST Today Sees Crucial Hour in the PARTY GETS NEW 100,000 MEMBERS Nation Winning Fight on Illiteracy (Special to The Daily Worker) MOSCOW, March 16.—The Com- munist Party is enrolling ten of thousands of new members. 100,000 new members—all of the workers in the factories—is the goal set by the party. Twenty thousand, eight hundred and forty-six applications for mem- bership have reached the party up to Feb, 11, from factories in the govern- ment of Moscow. Eighteen thousand applications were counted in Leningrad. Pravda says that 57,7561 workers in provincial cities have applied for the membership in the party. The 100,000 mark set by the party is almost reached but still application are pouring in. Liquidation of [lliteracy. An all Ukrainian Congress for liquidation of illiteracy held on Feb. 11, in Ckarkov, has mapped out plans for ihstructing 4,000,000 illiterates during the coming three years. Seven hundred thousand will receive instructions until May 1, 1924. It is being reported from Odessa that of the 1,1182 schools scheduled to be opened in 1924 in the village for the liquidation of illiteracy and of the 384 intended for the city, 1,130 are already operating in the villages, 291 in the city with a total of 42,600 pupils. In Kiev, a large net of schools for the same purpose is being established. Wheat Acreage at Normal. The sown acreage of winter wheat has reached the figure of 1916 in the Ukraine. Crop prospects are favor- able. Wages in some industries of Odessa have reached the pre-war level. The leather workers pre-war wages equalled 48 rubles (monthly), the present wage—60 rubles. Metal workers’ pre-war wage—38 rubles, at present—36 rubles. The average wage in Odessa gov- ernment equals 86 per cent of the pre-war average. Grooming a Dark Horse to Jockey Democratic Jackass William E. Dever, the know noth- ing-about-the-strike-mayor of Chi- cago is now touted by Democratic boss George E. Brennan of Illinois as a dark horse presidential candidate for the presidential nomination on be Democratic ticket. , t This announcement was made by George E. Brennan, member of the Murphy, Taggart, Brennan machine in the Democratic party. Mayor De- ver will be boosted as a “man of the people.” No doubt Brennan did not make the announcement until he came to the conclusion that there was no oil in Dever’s system. If Dever happens to get elected, @nd in view of the lack’ of honest candidates in the Democratic ranks the idea is not to be sneezed at, the striking garment workers are of the opinion that if Mr. Dever shows as little interest in what is transpiring in Washington as he has in Chicago events, he might wake up some day in the White House and find every- thing stolen, not even excepting the bedelothes. ; Mayor Dever will run on his rec- ord as a warrior against violators of the prohibition laws. That he did this while openly sympathising with the anti-Volsteadians is proof that he 4s a man who never lets his personal inclinations interefere with his duty. So say his friends. With know-nothing Mayor De- ver running on the Democratic ticket and Silent Know-nothing Calvin Coolidge on the Republican ticket there would be a real opportunity for a Farmer-Labor candidate to make ‘his voice heard.

There is not a striker who be- lieves that the picket line will not be well filled today. In every strike the third Monday following the calling of the strike is the test day. Today, the third Monday following the calling of the strike, finds the unionists filled with confidence. Saturday night when the pickets started home they were all assuring each other that today would find them at their old places on the picket line, Want Strikers to Forget. Saturday was the first day of the strike that passed without the police arresting anyone for picketing. Just why no one was arrested the strikers have not been able to find out. They don’t think, however, that Democratic Mayor William E. Dever, or Republican State’s Attorney Robert E. Crowe, had a change of heart toward the strikers and ordered the police to be more decent. They are rather inclined to he- lieve that the police are hoping that the union will be led to forget the beating up of Sophie Altschuler Fri- day mght if no arrests were made the day following. The union oni- cials have said that this is a vain hope. Saturday four more strikers were arrested by deputy sh@riffs and brought before Judge Denis Sullivan to prove to him that they had no contempt for the court he nrepre- sents. . They were: Martha Giese, Isaac Greenberg, Lewis Rosenthal _ and Hyman Thaler. After a preliminary hearing their cases were set to be heard. Wednesday morning at 10:00 o'clock and they were released on their own bond of $500 each. " Charged With Injunction Violation. They had all been arrested for violating the injunction obtained by the Graceline Dress company. Dud- ley Taylor questioned them, assisted by the judge who tock every possible occasion to lecture them. This time the judge ‘spent more time in tell- ing the workers that the dignity of his court would not be violated by any workers. He did, however, per- mit Dudley Taylor to violate the dignity of the court by the way he questioned the workers who had been hauled into court. us Imagine the scene. Here is Dud- ley Taylor, rich, influential, learned in the law and the use of words, Able to make words mean what they were never intended to mean. He is questioning Martha Giese, a woman who has worked all her life and who has never been in a court fore. bere all the dirty, cheap tricks that Taylor could perform for money could not confuse ‘Martha Giese.

She told how she had gone on strike for a decent liv- and ing decent conditions under sudden ¢ Girl Striker Brutally Beaten | whieh to work. She told how the injunction, which was intended to stop the strikers from talking to the workers who were not on strike, had not prevented the police from swearing at and cursing the strike pickets, “The police swear at us. They use vile language. They try to make fools of us,” she said. “Is: that right? Is that lawful? Doesn’t that violate the injunction?” Doesn't Hear Questions. The questions were addressed to Dudley Taylor but he didn’t “hear ther. Once when Miss Giese tried to ex- plain her answer the judge inter- rupted, “I don’t want any speeches here today.” Some of the other workers who have been hailed before “Dennie” have taken the oppoxtunity to give him an earful and he,wus not anx- ious to get more. But Miss Giesé had her say and said it well. When the other three workers had been sworn, the judge tried to ques- tion them. He was evidently afraid of hearing part of the) workers’ story. He rushed the job of ques- tioning them and set their trials for next Wednesday at 10:00 a. m. When the questioning of those workers had finished the cases of Mollie Friedman, John Cohn and Rose Lewis should have been called, The judge had told them to be ready Saturday morning to show eause why they should not be pun- ished for contempt of court. But it was too late for the @ver-worked judge. It was almost 1:00 o’clock. He set their cases over until Wednesday morning. No matter how much the court’s dignity is smirched he does not intend to work overtime worrying about it. Discharge Daily Worker Reporter. Victor Zokaitis, a reporter for the DAILY WORKER, and Abe Harris, who was arrested with him, were discharged Saturday when they were arraigned in S, Clark St. police court. Their “trial” lasted one and a half minutes. “What were you do- ing in S. Market street yesterday?” Judge Trude asked? “IT saw this officer slam a_ girl picket up against a wall and I asked his number,” Zokaitis said. “I am a reporter for the DAILY WORKER and I was sent there to see how the police treat the strikers.” “Discharged,” the judge yawned. All the strikers who were arrest- ed Friday and arraigned Saturday asked for ‘jury trials. Pete Herd and John Harvey, both members of the Young Workers League, who were arraigned «in Boys’ Court, Saturday, were told to come back today and bring their parents. Both boys were arrested for walking along S. Market street, Fri- day. When a bull asked them what they were doing there, they said they were out to see some of their friends who were on strike. They were taken to jail. (Continued from page 1) P. M. without being able to get even a bit of water to bathe her head. Finally at 6:30 o’clock she was booked and bailed out at once, by the union. She was rushed to the Mor- rison Hotel, where the union has an office, and she was given’ emergency treatment by Mrs. Sophie Rodriguez because the hotel physician could not be gotten. Sometime after she had been given this emergency treatment the house physician of the hotel, Dr. James F. Maltman, was called and after his ex- amination and treatment in a written report said: Statement of Doctor. “T attended this evening Sophie Altschuler who had been seriously beaten about the head and face. Her wrists were twisted and are badly swollen.” “Signed JAMES F. MALTMAN.” This report was made out five hours after Sophie had been beaten. Sophie was kept in the hotel under the care of Doctor Maltman Saturday and Sunday. It is not known if the doctor will permit her to go to court ened af atte 371 W. JACKSON BLVD.

The jury deliberated five hours and a half, Houston repudiated a so-called signed confession which he testified he signed after police torture.

ER é ‘ STAGE IS SET FOR UNITY AT JUNE 17TH MEET Last Step T. aken by St. Cloud Convention (Continued from page 1) chairman Boldus of the Nonpartisan League whom Pike, chairman of the official Minnesota Farmer-Labor Par- ty, had tried at the beginning of the session to foist on them, they might have succeeded in postponing the endorsement or even in splitting the convention, The progressives were on guard however and the attempt did not succeed, The reactionaries had planned to present a resolution denouncing the Communists which had been prepared by Mahoney of Washington. and thus divert atten- tion from the major issues, Without their chairman they had not the courage to make t! attempt and after Mahoney of St. Paul had told his namesake of Washington that he was “a dirty, lying disturber” the lat- ter gentleman subsided. The progressives in Minnesota are jubilant over the elimination of all eg and all eyes are now on June 7. Emil Holmes of the World War Veterans addressed the convention in behalf of the military prisoners and received its endorsement for his reso- lution urging amnesty for them, Numerous resolutions dealing with all phases of the farmer-labor move- nfent were passed by the convention among them a condemnation of the management of the Veterans’ Bureau and a number denouncing war. Complete Unity Established. Complete unity has been estab- lished between the workers and farmers of Minnesota thru the Farmer-Labor Federation. The last obstacle to this unity was removed late this afternoon when the dele- gates to the non-partisan league convention here threw their reac- tionary officials overboard and voted to join the Farmer-Labor Federa- | tion representing the interests on the political field of all economic or-| ganizations of the workers and farmers in this state. No develop- ment of greater significance in the Farmer-Labor movement in America has taken place within the last de- cade. The decision of the Non-par- tisan League delegates came after the Townley machine had exhausted every effort to prevent favorable ac- | tion. Magnus Johnson and Hendrick | Shipstead were induced by the| Townley machine to denounce the} Farmer-Labor Federation as a Com- munist organization; every device calculated to pra@judice the farmers against radicals /and labor men was used; O. M, jomas. son, Henchman of the Te a 4 read extracts from the DAILY WORKER, but without any percep- tible effect upon the farmers who wanted unity with the wage work- ers, were determined to get it and did get it. Some of the most re- markable speeches ever made in a gathering of this kind were deliv- ered by farmer delegates to whom the desire for unity with the or- ganized workers was stronger than the influence of leaders whom they had trusted. Old Prejudices Shattered. The Minnesota farmers represent- ed by the Non-partisan League Con- vention have, by this decision, shat- tered for ali time the belief advanced by obstructionists that farmers are afraid to trust their fortunes to an organization com- prising both groups of exploited workers. There was a great demonstration in the Farmer-Labor Federation convention when their negotiation committee returned with the news that the farmers had decided to be- come part of the unity organization. A speaker was on the floor talking on an important organization ques- tion, but all business was suspended for ten minutes while the delegates ‘Stiiped and cheered, leaped on chairs and tables, threw their hats in the air and yelled themselves hoarse, Tension resaxed immediate- ly and it was evident then that the workers had almost given up hope of complete unity; they acted like children relieved of @ threat of pun- ishment and gave their emotions full plav. Even the dignified Wil- liam Mahoney, chairman of the Farmer-Labor Federation Conven- tion, yelled till he was red in the face, and his grey hair comovletely disarranged. Too much credit for the decision of the farmers’ con- vention cannot be given to Charles E. Taylor, of the Montana Farmer- Labor party, and “Dad” Walker. of the North Dakota Farmer-Labor party; they knew personally many of the delegates and more than any- one else were responsible for coun- | by teracting any prejudice that might have been aroused by the red bait- ing of the machine element. It was necessary for the Townley machine in order to poll any kind of a note against unity to collect delegates from per organizations such as women’s auxiliaries and county grouns having no existence. Des- perate efforts still left them several votes shy of a majority, and with their loss of a majority went for- ever their leadership of the farmers’ movement in Minnesota. Great Day for Militants, It was a Si day for the left wing of the labor movement in Min- nesota, The yellow element, the defeatists, the disciples of the “this is not the time” philosophy, the politicians and the official element generally been loud in their predictions that farmers would never join an o1 rganization of work- ore in whose ranks were members | Who Is Behind Police Officer 8181, wearing the uniform of Mayor William E. Dever’s police forces, arrested Sophie Altschuler, member of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers Union who was. doing picket duty, took her into a hall- way and there severely beat her. Officer 3181 made the arrest on the orders of a clothing manufacturer. While the brutal policeman was beating her, Miss Altschuler screamed for help. “I don’t want you to live. I will kill you” was the policeman’s answer to her screams. Who is behind officer 3181? On whose authority did officer 8181 arrest Sophie AlSchuler and brutally assault her? These are important questions, No doubt vicious attacks will be made on police officer 3181 by cer- tain labor leaders while those who give orders to him are conveniently ignored. Since this strike started, the DAILY WORKER urged the “Committee of Fifteen” appointed by the Chicago Federation of Labor to take action; to do something that would aid the striking dress- makers, But the committe has done very little so far. They seem to be afraid to even open their mouths for fear it might be il- legal. Unscrupulous Bosses. The bosses are not troubled by any scruples about illegality. Was it legal for Officer 3181 to brutally assault Sophie Altschuler? And her case is only one of many. be The DAILY WORKER from the first day of the strike until the present laid the blame for the po- lice _brutalities squarely on the shoulders of state’s attorney Robert E. Crowe and Mayor William E. Dever. The police officers—officer 3181 included—are only the tools of the men higher up. Some of them are more brutal than others, But why blame the subordinate and let the principal go off scot free? The DAILY WORKER offered suggestions to the Committee of Fifteen which if followed would have prevented the dastardly as- sault on, Miss Sophie Altschuler. We now charge the “Committee of Fifteen” with criminal negligence and with indirect responsibility for the sufferings of the striking garment workers at the hands of the tools of state’s attorney Crowe and Mayor Dever. The “Committee of Fifteen” may feel that its hands are tied by the injunctions, They may ‘feel that the suggestions made by Meyer Perlstein who is in charge of the strike are illegal and cannot be car- ried out. Of course, according to Monday, March 17, 1924 the terms of the injunction it is il- legal to speak, whisper or bid the time of the day to a striking dress- maker, But even Samuel Gompers would defy an injunction from the seclusion of a hotel suite! Surely the leadérs of the Chicago Federa- tion of Labor long heralded thru- out the United States as “progres- sive” are at least as courageous as the toothless Gompers. Police Brutality. This strike would have been won in the first week but for the brutal- ity of the officers of Crowe’s and Dever’s offices. Dever is respons- ible for the conduct of both, But the “Committee of Fifteen” after listening to John Fitzpatrick read a letter charging Crowe with abuse of office and getting its picture taken, appointed a sub-committee to see the Mayor and the matter ended there, The -understanding ‘was according to Jogn English, a member of the committee, that in the event of further police brutal- ities, the committee would hold an- other general, meeting. Does the committee require a couple of mur- ders before it takes action? The DAILY WORKER again urges the “Committee of Fifteen” to get busy, call a mass meeting, organize the trade unions of this city behind the strike, issue pub- licity concerning the strike, dwmand that the Mayor appoint trade unionists to preserve order in the strike zote, raise a strike fund and call for volunteers from the trade unions to protect the girls who are picketing the scab shops. The workers of Chicago have watched this inactive committee long enough, They are suspicious that partisan or factional capitalise politics is the cause of its inactivi- ty. If the committee does not in- tend to do anything it should promptly quit and leave the way open for a committee that will act. e fortunes of the slaves in the factories, the safety of the girls on the picket lines are more im- portant to the yank and file than the continuance of any friendly re- lations that may exist between labor politicians and certain offi- cials of Cook county. Dever and Crowe Real Culprits. The DAILY WORKER claims fhat officer 3181 is not the real cul- prit. The men who should be held responsible for his acts are the of- ficial heads of Cook county, Mayor William E. Dever and state’s at- torney Robert E. Crowe. They are the men who should be brought be- fore the bar of organized labor. Again we ask the “Committee of Fifteen” to act in behalf of the thousands of striking dressmakers. of the Workers (Communist Par- ty.) The chronic croakers and their ability to forecast developments in the worker and \ farmer movement ve There is no lonelier rndividual in the Twin Cities today than the one who said that the Communists were the greatest obstacle to unity of the workers and farmers. As a matter of fact, this is not only a victory for the farmers and workers of Minne- ota, but a tremendous victory whose importance cannot be exaggerated for the Workers Party of America, and the Communist movement of the world. Any hostility toward the Communists that was in evidence before the action of the Non-parti- san League Convention plugged the last gap in the working class poli- tical’ movement of this state has disappeared. The Workers Party of America and its members who have given their time, money and energy to the building of a class farmer-labor party based on the economic organizations of both groups are now given the credit that is due them for their unceas- ing devotion to the case of the workers and farmers ant also for their organization ability which con- tributed so much to the result. The path has not only beer cleared for the Farmer-Labor party in Minnesota, for a splendid mas; class organization in this state, bu. for the national convertion on June 17th, and for the farmer-hbor movement of the entire north The Farmer-Labor Federation, con- posed now of all farmer and wort, er organizations in the state, ha; adopted into the declaration ot principles, the program for the\ June 17th convention, adopted by the St. Paul conference of Northwest Farmer-Labor parties last Tuesday, | and which did so much to influence | the decisions made by the Farmer- | Labor Federation and ea aap, League conventions.

The French frane tottered peovarouely for a few weeks, but Arthur kept on warning the people not to drop their francs, Sudden Morgan made a hundred million dollar loan to France and the Franc took another breath. Arthur said “I told you so.” But the French franc will not rise very high, According to all indications it will go the way of the mark. * + * 8 The Irish Free State was presented by certain officers in the army with an ultimatum, which told the Cos- grave government in unminced words that unless some consideration was given to the republican ideal which they fought for earlier in the strug- gle, the soldiers might take matters into their own hands. After some stage-play the Free State government swallowed its chagrin and decided to make the best of a bad situation. The mutineers are still at large. They took their guns along with them. Guns are rather comincing argu- ments. If the soldiers had not taken their guns along the firing squad would have delivered a verdict by now. * * Father Seidenberg, of the commit- tee of citizens investigating the dressmakers strike, is in sympathy with the workers, but he thinks that the unionists get too personal at times. He interviewed Mr. Weiss, the notorious hard boiled gentleman who refuses to deal with a union organizer. Mr. Weiss showed him a leaflet which the union got out deal- ing with the conditions under which the employes of Mr. Weiss labored. The circular happened to mention the boss’s name so it wounded the sensibilities of that retiring indivi- dual and also earned a rebuke from Father Seidenberg, “That is personal,” declared the Rev. Father, “you should not mention his, name.” ' Mr, Weiss, beat up pickets. It is even said that in ordbr to keep the sluggers at the proper pitch of exaltation and spiri- tual excitement, he provides them with booze with a high alcoholic con- tent, after partaking of which the sluggers mentally transport them- selves back to the reign of Attila and imagine they are carving their way to wealth, thru hordes of weak, civil- ized human beings, who stand be- tween them and affluence. This is their frame of mind toward the pickets. Of course the strikers can- not see things the way Father Sei- denberg does, but we have reason to believe if the ‘holy man got smashed over the head by a club wielded by an alechalevasling fink that he would not consider it beyond the limits of propriety to mention the name of the gentleman responsible for such attentions. Father Seiden- berg was good enough to go on the picket line, and whenever an enraged policeman was about to bring his club down on'his head he had only to show his priestly garb and apolo- gies came.
