Nogin Had Dramatic Revolutionary Career NEW YORK, May 27.—Victor Pav- lovitch Nogin, who established the All-Russian Textile Syndicate, Inc., in America last winter, died from an operation in Moscow, May 21, reports from Moscow state. Nogin, who had many friends in the United States, spent his entire life in the Russian revolutionary movement. He was born in Moscow, Feb. 2, 1878. During his long reVolutionary acti- vities he was arrested by the czar’s police and exiled eight times. Each time he escaped, once to England and once to Switzerland. Finally, in 1911, he was exiled to Verkhoyansk in north eastern Siberia, 2000 miles from the nearest railroad station. One year was required for him to reach the place of exile.

In the first Soviet cabinet he was commissar of trade and industry. Later he was president of the Mos- cow Soviet, chairman of the supreme economic council, and vice-president, presidium of the central executive committee of soviets. In his youth he was a textile work- er. And in November, 1923, he came to the United States to organize the buying of cotton for the Russian mills and formed the All-Russian Textile Syndicate. The syndicate is now said to be the largest foreign buyer in the American cotton market. Thrilling Revolutionary Career.

Upon return to Russia, Nogin was ar- rested on October 1, 1901, for the sec- ond time, and was exiled to the Provy- ince of Yenissey (Eastern Siberia). He escaped from there on April 27, 1903, going to Geneva, Switzerland. On March 8, 1904, Nogin was arrested once more in Nikolayev (Black Sea Port), and was exiled to the Province Archangel (White Sea) from where he escaped on August 10, 1905. On October 1, 1905, Nogin was arrested again in Moscow and was imprisoned for three months. Disguiges and Escapes. In August, 1908, Nogin came to Moscow disguised as a peasant Vladi- mir Feodorov Rodianov, in order to participate in and carry on Anti-Gov- ernment propaganda at the conven- tion of co-operative organizations. On August 17, 1908, Nogin was arrested and by order of the minister of the interior, was exiled for four years to, the Northern Counties of the Province of Tobolsk. He escaped from there January, 1909, but while escaping, was captured at the station Belostrov of the Finnish Railway on February 14, 1909, Exile In the Artic. In the spring of 1910, Nogin had es- caped once more, was arrested and exiled to the Province of Tobolsk from where he escaped on August 2, 1910. He came secretly in the win- ter of 1910-1911 to Tula, where he was arrested on March, 25, 1911, and ex- fled to VERKHOYANSK, YAKUT PROVINCE, NORTH EASTERN SI- BERIA. Verkhoyansk is located at 67 de- grees 33 latitude, and is the norfhern- most of all Siberian cities, being lo- cated 2000 miles from the nearest railroad station. Mr. Nogin was en- route to exile to Verkhoyansk from Tula for one year. Later he wrote a book, “The Polar Belt.” Young Workers On Way To St. Paul Visit Washington WASHINGTON, D.

BOSTON READE! iGRAND under the Trachtenberg Wins Canadian Communists In Vancouver Meet (Special to The Daily Worker) VANCOUVER, B. C., May 27.— “Build up your revolutionary move- ment that American capitalism, which is stretching its arms across the ocean in an effort to strangle the re- volutionary workers of Germany, may be kept busy at home.” This urgent request from Germany’s toiling mass- es to the workers of North America was delivered by Alexander Trachten- berg to the wage earners of this city, at a crowded meeting held under the auspices of the Communist Party of Canada. Trachtenberg, who spoke on “Rus- sia and Germany in 1923,” and gave a very vivid description of present con- ditions in both countries, is the first Communist speaker to address a pub- lic meeting in this city since the changing of the Workers’ Party of Canada to the Communist Party of Canada, At the close of the meeting, which was attended by over a thousand workers, innumerable questions were asked, and ably replied to by the speaker. A member of the Socialist Party of Canada took the platform, and endeavored to show the impossi- bility of a revolution, such as had taken place in Russia, occurring in Germany or Great Britain because of the highly industrialized state of those two countries. In closing, he stated, “We have brains in. our movement; let us use them,” the inference being that a surfeit of brains could accom- plish a peaceful change. These arguments were rapidly torn to pieces by Trachtenberg, who ex- posed the reactionary ideology which gave birth to such conclusions, and told the S. P. representative that per- sons holding such opinions should be in the Salvation Army. It is the hope of Vancouver workers that Comrade Trachtenberg, or some other equally able exponent of Com- munism may soon visit this city again.

MILLION LOCKED OUT GERMAN WORKERS ARE FACING STARVATION; AMERICAN LABOR GETS APPEAL In a cabled appeal to the American Branch of the Interna- tional Workers’ Aid, Clara Zetkin, veteran Communist, asks that the American workers send to Germany at once every penny they can to aid the workers of Germany, more than a million of whom are locked out and facing starvation. The message is signed by* Clara Zetkin as a member of the International Workers’ Aid Ex- ecutive Committee, and Willi Munzenberg, as as secretary. The message says that more than one million workers in Germany have been locked out, half of them miners. Among the miners, suffering is great. The Russian workers have sent $25,000 to the International Workers’ Aid for the German workers, accord- ing to the cable. The I. W. A. is now supporting daily more than 50,000 people, most of them strikers and children and is raising funds for re- lief on a wider scale. “Mighty Defensive Movement.” The message describes the fight of the German workers as a “mighty de- fensive movement.” “The whole bur- den of the European situation weighs on the German workers,” the message declares. “The textile and metal workers who have been locked out for a long time are being joined by hundreds of other workers’ groups. “The miners of the Ruhr basin have been out of work during the long pas- sive resistance period. During that time they were pauperized. Now they are faced with the job of defend- ing the seven-hour day, which they won after long years of fighting.” “The bosses of Germany and France have utilized the condition of the Ruhr workers in order to beat down the living standard of the workers in other sections to a coolie level. Will Extend Efforts. “The International Workers’ Aid is convinced that this fight. means not only heroic effort, but also hunger. and the most pyofound distress. The I. W. A. therefore decided to appeal to the workers of the world for their most energetic co-operation in this fight, which will introduce into Ger- many a new revolutionary epoch. - “It decided to open new soup kitch- ens at once for striking and locked out workers and to organize bread distribution and child relief. Appeal to U. S. Miners. “We ask you, as the American rep- resentative of the International Work- ers’ Aid, to appeal especially to the miners of the United States to help their fellow workers in the Ruhr and other parts of Germany. “Send every penny you can possibly raise at once.” Contributions for the German work- ers can be sent thru the Ameri section of the International Workers’ Aid, 19 South Lincoln avenue, Chi- cago, Ill.

Y., May 27.—Another and more thoro senate investigation of the United States Veterans’ bureau is demanded by delegates to the York state convention, Disabled American Veterans of the World War, meeting in Albany. Graft, red-tape and too much politics are charges laid against the bureau in a resolution be- fore the convention, Invited To Russia, Morris Winchevsky In ‘Good-Bye’ To Chicago Morris Wincheysky, one of the old- est members of the’ Jewish section, Workers: party,’ who was invited by the Soviet government to come to live in. Russia on government pension as one of the old Russian revolutionists, came this week to Chicago to say good-by to the Chicago comrades. Sunday .afternoon a mass meeting was arranged at the Douglas Park auditorium. The big hall was over- crowded with Jewish workers, who came to say farewell to their beloved reyolutionary poet and writer. In the evening a spontaneous banquet was held at Chesky’s restaurant, where hundreds of workers crowded the Place and sidewalks, being unable to got in for the lack of space. Speeches were made in Jewish, Russian and English by representatives of the Young Workers league, Freiheit Sing- ing Society, Jewish Workers’ Relief committee and other organizations whose representatives happened to be at the banquet. A big bouquet of red roses was given to Comrade Winchev- sky by the Y. W..L, of Chicago. They also invited him to join their league, but it was a little too late, as he was already a member of the league, be- ing initiated by the Detroit league. Monday night, at Douglas Park au- ditorium, a: meeting of volunteers of the Jewish Workers’ Relief commit- tee, of which Comrade Winchevsky is the national treasurer, was held. At this meeting a delegation of the junior groups of the Y. W..L., composed of members of, the Vanguard group, Abe and Eva Stolar and Jessie Harris, presented Comrade Winchevsky with a bouquet of red roses and a member- ship card of the juniors, which he ac- cepted with thanks and kissed the spokesman of the delegation, Com- rade Jessie Harris.

RELEASED PRISON MATE OF DOLLA ASSISTS FAMILY Steel Trust's Vietiin Has Wife In Need J. Martinovich,; who has just recent- ly been released from the Pennsyl- vania’ state penfientiary, where he served # term as a political prisoner, knows what it is to be confined be- hind the walls'of a cossack: bastile. Immediately upon his release from prison he set about doing what he could for his erstwhile co-prisoner, Jacob ‘Dolla. The DAILY WORKER has received the following letter from Comrade Martinovich, which speaks for itself as an act of comradeship and as an example which may well be followed by those workers who have not yet felt to so severe an extent the iron heel of capitalism: Dear Comrades: I know Jack Dolla in: the peniten- tiary, but I have never seen him out- side and really I don’t know his crime or opinion. Personally I spoke with him and I came-to the conclusion that he fears nothing and conceals noth- ing, but he openly said that as long as the steel corporation remains in power and holds the influence over the board of pardons, he will have to stay eight more years in the peniten- tiary. The readers of the DAILY WORK- ER are aware that this militant strik- er needs: help for himself as well as for his wife arfd children and I hope that they will reply to his appeal for help. I am sending to the DAILY WORK- ER a letter and $10 and I forecast that the others will do their duty. J. MARTINOVICH. Internat]. Athletic Carnival Planned For N. Y.

Coolidge’s sur- render was expected.

Not more than 10 per cent of the annual quota ffom each country may sige visas in any month. Wives and children of American citizens and citizens of Canada are exempted from the quota provision. Blow At Unionism. A blow at marine unionism~is seen in the ruling that alien seamen on vessels touching at American ports may not land except for medical 'treat- ment.

JAKIRA. (Special.to' The Daily: Worker) BALTIMORE, .Md., May 27.—There is hardly another city/in‘the United States where the issue of June 17th Convention has created.as much in- terest as, in Baltimore. The local Farmer-Labor Party,« which due to some legal technicalities; is com- pelled” to call’ itself the Peoples Party, has for the last several months rooted itself deeply ‘into the jocal labor movement. The Peoples Party has endorsed the June 17th Conven- tion and is sending a delegate. Several local unions have also acted favorably on the call” for the June 17th Convention and some of them will send delegates. The machinists of this city en- dorsed the St. Paul Convention despite of the fact;that President Johnstone, of the Machinists’ Union, has sent in a written’ request to the local to reconsider its action. His re- quest was biased on the fact that he is the chairman‘of thé July 4th Con- vention. The issue came up several days ago in the Central Labor Council. After a two hours’ battle the reactionary machine was*compelléd to move’ that the question be deferred for action to the next meéting. «This~ motion car- ried by a majority of one vote, 24 voting ‘for ani ‘23 voting” against the motion to defer‘ action.
