Dunne Speaks With John Holmgren To Pullman Strikers | “Thirty years ago my father took part in a great railroad strike that began against the Pullman company,” said William F. Dunne, editor of the DAILY WORKER, and member of the electrical workers’ union, addressing the Pullman strikers May Day morn- ing. Dunne expressed his pleasure at seeing another battle against the gi- gantic open shop outfit that was dom- inated by the industrial aristocracy of the United States.

Stay hatin lake & HOOVER LINKED TOLOBBYISTS OF SALMON TRUST WASHINGTON, May 2,—Dan Su- therland, Alaska delegate to Congress, declared that lobbyists from the Alas- ka Packers Association, Libby, Mc- Neil & Libby and the Pacific American ; Fisheries were working in the halls of jcongress to prevent passage of the | house bill to end monopoly of the }salmon streams. Sutherland said that Hoover knew these lobbyists. Suther- land added that Hoover could secure | the passage of these bills if he wanted | to. One of the lobbyists, Sutherland said, is Frank Warren, of Portland, ;Ore., former dollar-a-year man and ver representative in the food ad- istration, With Warren’s assistance, said Sutherland, the United States govern- ment was charged 75 cents in excess of the federal trade commission’s es- timate of a fair price per salmon case during the war. Testimony before Congress showed that the Salmon Trust thus favored, sold the military forces 5,200,000 cans of decomposed salmon, afterwards re- jected. Spurred by the expose now going on, President Coolidge has come out for “conservation” and makes one obscure reference to the desirability of ending the monopoly. | | | oe s %, a Loop Clo Srgprt “s aaa and prices Terms as low as $1 a don’t wait for cash.

So huge was the Moscow workers parade that more than five hours were occupied in passing a given point. The workers marched by shops, led by their shop committee- men. Rain and bitter cold failed to damp- en the ardor of the demonstrating masses, The long processions wound thru Moscow's streets towards Len- in’s tomb in Red Square where Len- in’s successor Alexis I. Rykov stood on the rostrum above the tomb wel- coming his comrades as they filed past. eee 8 Killed In Germany BERLIN, May 2.—May Day in Ber- lin was a time of repression by the military and the police. Sabers, clubs and guns were used on the workers who came out in celebration of their day. In Keenigsberg one militiaman paid the penalty for his violence with his life, but a worker was killed also and many were wounded. Six workers were killed in Hindenberg, Silesia. In the Gera, seven militiamen were wounded, and 27 workers injured at Graetz, Thuringia. Police violence ruled all over Germany. Details of many injuries have not yet come in. ee 10,000 Parade In Tokyo TOKYO, May 2.—Ten thousand workers paraded, singing revolution- ary songs, in Tokyo, May Day.

The Young Worker Plans June Issue For Young Miners The Young Worker, official organ of the Young Workers’ League of America, has announced that its June Ist issue is to be a special young min- ers’ number, dealing with the specific problems of the young workers in the mines all over the country, and their relation to the Young Workers’ League. The issue will contain special ar- ticles by such well-known and active workers among the miners as Barney Mass, Young Workers’ League Dis- trict Organizer in Southern Illinois; Thomas Myerscough, secretary of the International Progressive Miners’ Committee, Jack Johnstone, Assistant Secretary of the Trade Union Edu- cational League; Charles O'Neill and Pat Toohey, of the Pittsburgh district, and many others. Special efforts are being made to have this issue distributed on as larg a scale as possible and it is expect: that Workers Party branches, no mat- ter what language, which function in mining territories, will help the Young Worker by sending in orders immediately for a bundle of the special issue. A bundle of 100 can be obtained for $3.00; that is, 3c per copy in bundles of five or more. The DAILY WORKER urges the comrades in the mining territory to send in orders to the Young Worker for the special issue and distribute it widely among the young miners. The propaganda effect will be of tremen- dous value. Orders by mail should be in the hands of the Young Worker by May 10th. Telegraphic orders will be re- ceived up to May: 13th.

He urged those present to work for the proletarian, June 17 convention, instead of a middle-class and bourgeois convention of July 4. He declared that “the basis of the political conditions today is the change of class forces and the change in the structure of capitalist society. These changes are first the growing conflict between the various sections of the capitalist class, as for instance in the ofl and automobile industry. Secondly the Anderson and the Daugherty injunctions have caused the disillusionment of the workers with the two dominant political part- ies. A third cause is the bankruptcy of the American agricultural system. The farmers are being proletarian- ized. They are losing their respect for private property. Even the middle class is becoming dissatisfied, as shown by the creation of blocs in Congress. The middle class is threat- ening to revolt against the dominant parties, but is also trying to control the revolt of the working class. The middle class is looking to LaFollette as a saviour.” “The rivalry between June 17 and July 4 is creating a class division in the farmer labor party movement, which we want,” said Browder. June 17 is one of the most important and most revolutionary events in the 'de- velopment of the American working class.” Depression Shuts Big Industries Of South Bend, Ind. (Special to The Daily Worker) SOUTH BEND, Ind., May 2—The huge Studebaker plant which employs approximately 15,000 men, has closed down for a “spring vacation” of two weeks. Of course everyone under- stands that the vacation is not be- ing given on account of the weather, but on account of a glutted market. For the past two months a constant Process of laying men off, has been going on. Of late, the Studebaker company has been compelled to store thousands of unmarketable machines. It seems certain that thousands of the men who are now out on “spring vaca- tion” will not be called back to work. Plow Factory Closed. The Oliver factory, which manufac- tures plows, and which employs be- tween 3,000 and 4,000 men, has prac- tically closed down since the 18th of April. Only a small force of men has been retained. The plant is going thru the identical conditions that preceded the complete shutdown in 1921. Wilson Bros. a short manufactur- ing company which employs 3,000 women and girls, is operating only three days a week. Also the number of those being employed at all, is be- ing slashed every week. The entire attitude of the business men of South Bend is one of fear, verging on panic. The workers, both the employed and the unemployed, are beginning to wonder whether they are going to re-live the conditiéns of 1921. Philadelphia Boss Painters Turn Down Workers Demands PHILADELPHTA, May 2.—Phila- delphia District Council of Painters, Paperhangers and Decorators recently opened negotiations with the boss- painters for the renewal of an agree- ment. The conditions proposed by the digtrict council were—the estab- lishment of a wage scale of 1.121-2 cents an hour and the closed shop sys- tem. The bosses rejected these demands and offered instead to sign upon the terms prevailing at present in the in- dustry. In other words, the bosses insisted that the open shop system should stand and that the present wage scale of 95 cents an hour should remain in force. The results of the negotiations were reported to a large and enthusiastic union membership meeting which ap- proved the actions of the negotiations committee and decided to reject the offer of the bosses and to delay action on the matter until the coming fall. Meanwhile an intensive organiza- tion campaign will be carried on and preparations will be made for the coming struggle with the bosses. As a beginning of this campaign the membership assessed itself with three dollars each. All workers engaged in the indus- try and who are not yet members of the union are urged to join immediate- ly and help carry on the fight for bet- ter wages and against the open shop. HUGE GATHERINGS HELD THRUOUT ALL U.S. ON MAY DAY Chicago Workers Turn Out In Thousands May Day ‘was celebrated by thou- sands of workers in Chicago with an enthusiasm that marks the rising tide of labor’s revolt in this country against the growing oppression of the capitalists and their rotten Teapot Dome government.

Duluth Mass Meeting. DULUTH, Minn., May 2.—The work- ers of Duluth last night celebrated In- ternational May Day by filling Wood- men Hall to capacity when J. C. Ben- tall returned to Duluth with the mess- age of working class solidarity. Great enthusiasm characterized the meeting thruout. Every speaker, among whom were W. E. McEwen and A. A. Siegler, were applauded again and again as they appealed for independent politi- al action of the workers and exploited farmers. Bentall was tendered a great ova- tion when he rose to speak. A col- lection of one hundred and ten dol- lars was taken up. The surplus after defraying expenses, will go ta the La- bor Defense Council.

Police Grab DAILY WORKER SOUTH BEND, Ind., May 2—The| Every Shoe Bears the Union Label South Bend locals of the Workers Party and the Young Workers’ League held a fine May Day meeting in Workers’ Hall, Thursday. Com- rade Paul Cline of the Young Work- ers’ League, was the speaker. The large crowd of workers which attend- ed, was very much interested in the speaker’s outline of the development of the class struggle in the United States, and the forces making for a Farmer-Labor Party. The meeting was held under the close surveilance of the police, who, tho they did not interrupt the speaking, grapbed up all the copies of the May Day issues of the DAILY WORKER.
