Page Four DEPORTATION OF RADICAL, FIRST WORK OF STONE Exiled Russian Leaves Family Destitute (By The Federated Press) DETROIT, June 4.—Nicolai Manse- vich Detroit Russian, for 10 years an employe of the Ford Motor Company, has at last been deported to Grodno, Poland, formerly in Russia. Now after three years one of the most bitter, vicious and cynical cases of federal espionage and framed up repression on record is at an end, as far as the government is concerned. But it is not really at an end. When he went unwillingly away with a borrowed $40 to surrender to Ellis island, Mansevich left behind him in Detroit three little American- born girls, Anna, Mary and Jenny, and a wife who is to give birth to another ehild next fall. Leaves Family Destitute. The family is destitute. More than @ year ago he surrendered at Ellis island for deportation and an equity in another house had to be sold at that time. Until he returned, on an appeal in his behalf to the supreme court, Mrs. Mansevich and three chil- dren were at the slender, not tender, mercies of the department of welfare. The physical condition of the moth- er would not permit. her to work to support herself and the children even it she could leave them during the day to take a job. There is nothing in sight for them but to become pub- lic charges. D. of J. Frame-up. Mansevich was arrested in 1921. Two agents of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice followed a bundle of anarchist papers from the American Railway Express to his home. The department of justice, ar- riving just as the bundle arrived, saw Mrs. Mansevich accept it and then dragged Mansevich from his machine at the Ford Motor Company to jail. A statement in which he was made to appear as advocating “killing public officials” was prepared for him*to sign before he had counsel. He was recommended for deportation by the local immigration before his friends knew he was in custody. Immigration Chief Hostile. Petitions were sent to Washington bearing the names of school teachers, bishops, judges, liberals and Federa- tion of Labor executives. The case resolved itself into a struggle on the part of spies and immigration inspec- tors to maintain wartime power. If ———-Joseph Apelman, one of the arresting officers, a former Socialist party or- ganizer and wartime stool pigeon, or P. L. Prentis, now chief of the Detroit immigration district, had been apo- plectic, each would have died of rage and alarm. The faces of both turned purple on numerous occasions of pro- test. Stone Refused to Act. Workers. who expect Harlan F. Stone, the new attorney. general, to aid them can learn something from the Mansevich case. Stone took of- fice only a few weeks before Manse- vich’s sentence was finally carried} out. But there was still time after he was settled in Harry M. Daugherty’s swivel chair for Detroit men and wo- men to see that he reviewed the case thoroly. Women representing the De- troit committee of the American Civil Liberties union called at Stone's of- fice with newspaper clippings, peti- tions and personal pleas. They also obtained an interview with President Coolidge. Stone’s answer was that however regrettable the situation, it was not within the province of the attorney general to interfere. Mrs. Mansevich is a good mother and a good housekeeper, who soon will have no house to keep. E. W. RIECK LUNCH ROOMS Seven Places 62 W. Van Buren | 42 W. Harrison 169 N. Clark 118 S. Clark 66 W.

I could scarcely ‘believe aften a short period of two years since I left |that country that the workers there | would make such wonderful strides |as to publish and maintain an inter- |national paper. such as the DAILY | WORKER. I assure you there never |was a paper published anywhere that |had a staff of writers that could com- |pare with the DAILY WORKER. And |I want to say that we are all mighty proud of you all. Comrades, we are living in a won- |derful age. Things are moving fast. I was born in America some 48 years ago. My father, grand-father jand great-grand-father werealso born here. We were all workers so we should know something of America under capitalism. Soviets Right for All. My knowledge that I have gained here in the last two years has taught me that the proper system of so- ciety has been born here. Whfen I came here the Russian people were just coming out from under the ter- rible load that they had been carry- ing for some years in the way of war, revolution, counter-revolution, blockades, and worst of all the terri- ble famine. They were wrecked phy- sically from starvation, had scarcely any clothes. Their homes were de- stroyed in many cases. Their most important factories were ruined. I can’t conceive of people being at a lower ebb and yet they have come out from under all of this and are the happiest people that could be found anywhere in the world. Win Over All Obstacles. After a brief period of two years they are well-fed, well-clothed, and their homes have improved one hun- dred per cent. There is no capitalist government on earth where their people could be plunged down to such a low ebb as were the Russian people and rise to the point where the Rus- sian people stand today under the guiding hands of the Soviets. Yours for the United States of Soviets—Andrew J. Woomer, Kemer- ovo Kuznetz Basin, Siberia. K. K. K. IS FASCISM MENACE. To the DAILY WORKER—The ac- tion of the U. M. W. convention in expelling the K.

The Dis- trict, tho organized only a short time, has already organized branches in Passaic, Trenton and Hartford, and is in the process of organizing branch- es in W. New York, N. Y, Jersey ‘City, N. J., and an English branch in Pas- saic, N. J. In addition the District has to its credit the organizing of four new branches in the city of New York. Comrade Jack Stachel, district or- ganizer, addressed a meeting of about a hundred in Hartford on “The Ameri- can Labor Movement and the Role of Young Workers.” The meeting was attended by adult workers as well as young workers and almost all of the young workers, about twenty in number, joined the League after the lecture. Comrade I. Rosenblatt of Hartford, was largely instrumental in helping to organize this branch, and will be one of the most active members in it. Good work is expected from the Hartford comrades.

We must point out to them how in Italy the Fascisti went into the trade unions, captured them, and thereby broke the resistance of the organized trade unions, and how similarly in this country the K. K. K. has tried to get in the U. M. W. and that they will probably try to get into other unions. Further, we must point out that it isn’t sufficient to wait until the K. K. |K. tries to get into the unions, but that the unions’ should now take a stand against that organized reaction and thereby help to check the growth and influence of the kian. There is no doubt that the K. K, K. will try to penetrate some of the junions, and it is important that the left bloc in the trade unions and the progressives be on the watch against any such attempt, and as soon as they notice something that steps be taken to remedy the danger.—Com- \radely, C. Miller. Beware of Scab Bread. To the DAILY WORKER: There is a strike going on in some of the baker shops on the northwest side, in the neighborhood of Humboldt Park. The people don’t know much about it, as the stores in connection with the shops are selling bread and no pickets are there to call attention to the strike. Only because the sales- lady demanded more money for bread and explained the reason, the strike, —did I find out about it. Then I no- ticed that there was no union label on the bread and I refused to trade there any more. Why doesn’t the bakers’ union ad- vertise its label in the DAILY WORK- ER telling the thousands of its read- ers to watch for the union label and refuse scab bread? Thousands of pe® ple ‘are buying scab bread without sispecting it, as I have been doing it probably for a few days. + Call the attention of the workers to the strike and show them the genuine bakers’ union label, if you expect co- operation from the workers, and if you expect to win the strike—Mrs. EB.

ALL TO THE AID OF THE STRIKING GERMAN MINERS IN THE RUHR To the Workers of the World: The strike of the miners, which broke out in Germany shows how great and inexhaustable are the energies of the erman proletariat. The German miners are forced to struggle “under the most difficult conditions and the double yoke of German capital and French bayo- nets.. Nevertheless, the miners came in the of their rights, won after bitter struggle, against their enslavement by Franco-Ger- man capital. Should the German bourgeoisie, which is preparing the ground for the enforcement of the decisions of the Committee of Ex- sperts, at the expe: of the work- ing class, be successful, it would mean the automatic worsening of the conditions of the miners of all countries, and the other categories of labor would soon have to follow suit. No working man, no toiler, can stand aside at this gigantic struggle. The cause of the German miners is the cause of the interna- tional proletariat. The Communist International and the Red Interna- tional of Labor Unions urgently ap- peal to the workers of all coun- tri Come to the aid of the German miners! Do not allow the importation of coal from other countries to break the strike! Make collections for the strikers and their families! Do your utmost to resist unitedly the heavy German industries, sup- ported by the French bayonets. There must be no passive or observers amongst labor in this struggle. Each must actively help the German miners if there is an ounce of proletarian solidarity own interests among them. All to the aid of the German miners! Long live the miners of Germany!

Boosts Russian Prestige * . in Orient MOSCOW, June 4.—The Soviet capi- tal is jubilant over the Sino-Russian agreement. Officials consider it strik- ing evidence of the increasing prestige of the Workers Republic in the Orient and a proportionate ‘decrease in the Dower of the capitalist powers to frighten China into obeying their dic- tates. The awakening of Asia into self- reliance and opposition to the robber Policies of the capitalist nations is one of the major planks in the foreign pro- gram of the Soviet Republic. The Chinese agreement is considered a step in this direction. Russia is as- suming more and more the status of a big brothér to the exploited nations of the East and this pre-eminence in the orient cannot fail to affect the European powers in a manner bene- ficial to Soviet interests. The capitalist nations’ devious diplomacy was considered the only policy to adopt in treating with China. The Soviet government on the other hand was open and above board and it did not take China very long to realize this fact. Georges Chicherin hails the new relations between China and Russia as_a happy augury for future mutually helpful relations. Trétsky is of the opinion that Japan is threatened with revolution and the Koreatis in ever in- creasing numbers are accepting the Communist philosophy. While the complete terms of the agreement have not been made public it is believed that Russia repudiates all extra-territorial rights and territo- rial:concessions held by other nations. Russians and Chinése are equally anxious. to oust the French robbers who now control the Chinese sa a railway. Send in that Subscription Today. Workers’ Education and Athletics Run by Austrian Unions mdse (By The Federated Press) VIENNA, June 4.—Not only are the Austrian workers active in voluntary work in the trade unions, political as- sociatiéns and co-operative societies, but they haye also greatly developed their interest in sports, education and gardening. In sport, two forms popular in Aus- tria are mountaineering and football. There is an organization of worker tourists known as the Friends of Nature which has 78,000 members in Austria. Every local branch ar- ranges weekly excursions on Saturday afternoon and Sunday. The popular- ity of football has increased enor- mously in recent years. Three hun- dred workers’ football clubs have formed a league. The small garden movement has also iricreased greatly. There are at present about 300 allotment societies, with 80,000 members, each of whom does an average of 500 hours of work a year on his allotment. In education, the Labor Party's cen- tral educational institute controls the majority of the educational institutes for the workers, and is responsible for organizing evening schools, lec- tures, and classes in public speaking and literary work. The number of books lent by the workers’ libraries in Vienna has almost doubled since the war. Send in that Subscription Today. Bohemian Workers Want to Form W. P..

YORK, June 4.—Radical se- gregation in the case of the Negro is partly a device ofthe capitalist class to’ keep. white workers and black workers fighting each other instead of combining: against their common enemy. This is the conclusion of A. Philip Randolph, editor of The Mes- senger, writing in that Negro monthly. He says: (“If the great laboring masses of people, black and white, are kept for- ever snarling over the question -as to who is superior or inferior, they will never combine or they will take along time to combine for the achievement of a common benefit: more wages, a shorter work-day and better working conditions. Combina- tion between black and white work- ing people in the South would mean the logs of millions in profits to rail- roads, cotton magnates, lumber barons and bankers. “White railroad workers fear the Negro as a strikebreaker, but still refuse to take him into their unions because of the social pressure that decrees that Negroes are inferior to white men, and hence should be re- ligiously denied contact.” Auto Industries Lapse; Michigan Workers Laid Off BATTLE CREEK, Mich., June 4.— Unemployment is rampant in the auto- mobile industry; old hands are. being |° checked out every day, and no new ones taken in. Wages are cut to the bone without resistence on the part of the proletariat. Household furni- ture sales abound; ouster cases mul- tiply; families are set out into the street or go out, and the flux to Cali- fornia roars on a pace. Flint, let out 1500 men in the middle of winter; then let out some more later on. Detroit is dead in the ship- yards; slow elsewhere. Kalamazoo, Marshall, Jaskson, and all the mid- dling sized cities are checking them out; and Grand Rapids feels the pinch. The farmers are leaving their farms; they can’t maké farming pay. Yet prices of foods soar skywards coal and articles of the trusts and monopolies touch the ceiling. The only hopeful sign is the Farm- er-Labor machine, which is beginning to penetrate the masses.

Ten industries reported average women’s wages below $15 a week. The average for women in all industries was $15.72. This represents a decrease of 2% per cent compared with March and 8% per cent compared with Feb- ruary. The average wage paid male work- ers during April was $28.37, a gain of 1 per cent over March. But this was due almost entirely to gains in bak- eries, furniture factories, book and job printing establishments and silk factories. In silk the increase ap- pears due to heavy reductions in force which left higher paid workers on the job. In the great majority of industries average weekly earnings fell off materially. Average weekly earnings in the leading industries of the state are shown in the April report: boots and shoes, male $25.27, female $16.04; bak- ery products, male $27.28, female $12.77; men’s clothing, male’ $30.79, cotton goods, male $19.32, female |$14.29;° electric ma- chinery and supplies, male $29.13, fe- male $17.79; machine shops, male $29.00, female $17.43; paper and pulp, male $28.57, female $16.77; rubber goods, male $25.30, female $14.39; woolen worsteds goods, male $26.33, female $16.84. If Massachusetts workers averaged 90 per cent of a full working year, which would be doing very well for in- dustrial employment, average earn- ings for a year would be less than $1,350 in the case of mak workers and less than $750 in the case of fe- male workers.
