The forty-eight had been hired by a representative of the National Demo- cratic Club to entertain the delegates and alternates of Democracy who on Manhattan Island are enjoying them- selves and nominating a candidate for president. Each girl was supposed to represent a particular one of the forty-eight states. They were to get $35 a week, a room in a good hotel, excellent tele- phone service and good grub. After signing on the dotted line and agreeing to defend democracy to the best of their ability, they were taken out to Coney, Island where they Staged a parade in their one- ra per cent bathing suits. After the parade they\were fed ham sandwiches and told to gang up and sleep in three bed rooms. That is, all forty-eight were to sleep: in the three hotel rooms. The diet of ham sandwiches con- tinued for several days and then was changed to corned beef. They hadn’t gotten a single picture in a single pa- per and no one had called them on the phone. Finally, the little ladies grew dis- gusted at being compelled to try and “lure the delegates astray from the vast distances of Coney Island and went on strike. ‘They hadn’t had any thing to drink for a week. And besides the ladies who were representing each of the forty-eight states came out and ad- mitted they were homesick being kept so far from Broadway for such a long time. The last courier to struggle thru the lines from Coney Island reported the girls had taken jobs in a dance hall to earn the price of carfare back to civilization. Emissaries of Tammany Hall ad- mitted that the girls who had been sent to Coney Island had been com- pletely forgotten in the rush’ of en- tertainment on Manhattan Island. % GREAT JULY 4 PICNIC COMING TO CLEVELAND Howat, Foster, Manley Will Speak There (Special to the DAILY WORKER) CLEVELAND, O., June 30.—Three nationally significant men, all promi- nent in the public eye in the United States today for their activities in be- half of the workers and farmers, will make the Cleveland Workers Party branch July Fourth picnic the biggest hum-dinger yet.’ Alex Howat, former president of the Kansas miners, Wm.

Radek, Kameneff and Marx had their day in court and books written by these famous working-class leaders were entered as ‘Commonwealth Ex- hibits.’ Upon cross examination by attor- ney Ferguson for the defense Lennon testified that he examined the lit- erature taken by the Farrell police in their raids upon the Workers Party hall, and the room occupied by the |defendant and three other workers. |Mrs. Matusak, Y. W. ©. A. social worker from Pitsburgh aided Lennon in translating such literature as he considered seditious. The prosecution introduced as sedi- tious literature during the first day jof the trial a box full of literature alleged to have been seized in the de- fendant’s room and a large trunk full seized at the Workers’ Party hall on Greenfield St. Very few pieces of literature contained in the box or trunk were properly identified by the prosecution and the defense took up most of the afternoon session com- pelling Lennon to identify this oe ture. Bible There, Too Such books as, How to Be Your Own Doctor, Bible Stories, How to Be- come an American Citizen, novels by Gorki and other authors, a Dictionary, Grammar of the Serbian-Croatian languages, Mineralogy and Geology and the Croatian-American first read- er used to teach English in the schools along with a copy of the Liberator and Soviet Russia Pictorial were found in the trunk and box by the de- fense. The readers of the DAILY WORKER can judge for themselves as to the seditiousness of this litera- ture. The defense once and for all settled what was contained in the trunk of mystery. Exhibits entered by the prosecution by authors outside of the Workers Party were all objected to by the de- fense. This was a blanket objection effecting all of the prosecutions ex- hibits not properly identified as hav- ing to do with tha--Workers Party. The court overruled the objection and allowed all of the prosecution’s exhib- its to be entered as evidence against the defendant. Priest Aids Prosecution Twenty-two copies of the Radnik, publication issued by the Jugo-Slav federation of the Workers Party was pntered as evidence. These papers were not translated, altho the evi- dence was that they were carefully scanned for seditious matter by a priest in Farrell whose name was not mentioned by Lennon in his testi- mony. The DAILY WORKER and RAD- NIK enjoy second class mailing rights, testified Lennon, the same as other newspapers using the U. S. mails. According to Lennon the national headquarters of the Workers Party is located at 1009 N. State St., Chicago, Ill, and that this organization holds no mass meetings under its own name and maintains no other offices than the one in Chicago. Paul Valeditch of Farrell, was called to the witness stand by the prosecution and testified that the Workers Party in Farrell rented a hall owned by him on Greenfield street and held their meetings there. No attempt was made to conceal these meetings which were held dur- ing the year of 1923-24, up until they were raided by the Farrell police early in the winter of 1924 which re- sulted in the seizure of literature and the indictment of six workers charged with being violators of the Sedition Law and proclaimed by the press as instigators of the ‘Red Terror.’ Tells of Street Meetings Prosecution Myers called John Burgranas, a Croatain living at 202 French street, Farrell, as the last wit- ness for the prosecution. He told of the defendant, Andy Kovacovich, making sidewalk speeches to a crowd of 8 or 10 workers on French streat, Farrell, during the summer of 1923 WORKERS PARTY PLACED ON TRIAL and that the defendant stated to the workers that the government in Rus- sia is better than the government in the United States. Burgranas was used by the prosecution in the first sedition case. The prosecution com- pleted its case at adjournment time this afternoon. The defense will recall several of the prosecution’s star witnesses and upon completing cross examination of these witnesses attorney Ferguson will make his final argument to the jury. The Sharon Herald, published in Sharon, Pa., today published an edi- torial called “Bunk” vs. Spunk—it’s a most vicious attack upon the right of workers to receive a fair and im- partial trial in Mercer County. Confiscate Worker’s Auto Following up its campaign of op- pression against the Croatian workers in Farrell the police confiscated the auto of Frank Petranac, a barber of Masury, O., parked in front of a bar- ber shop on French St., Farrell, while the owfier was taking a bath. Petra- nac is a ‘member of the Workers Party branch in Farreil and chief Leyshock of ‘red trunk’ fame suffered a bitter disappointment when Petra- nac failed to come to the town jail to claim his car and be locked up for ‘Sedition’. The car is insured and Ley- shock will have to answer to the in- surance company for holding the car. The Workers Party of America and its publication are on trial in Mercer and the legal battle being enacted here indicates that there will be no let up on part of the prosecution to bring to trial as soon as possible the remaining four defendants. (Early Story on Page Four) WORKERS SLAIN BY BOLOGNA’S FASCIST THUGS Overheard Protesting Matteotti Murder (Special to The DAILY WORKER.) BOLOGNA, Italy, June 30.—Three workingmen have been kidnapped by Fascist militia and only one of them has returned. Two that have been missing for ten days are believed to have been slain. The third, Maccaferri, a wounded veteran of the world war with two silver medals, has come back after five days imprisonment in a lonely place almost dead from exhaustion and the effects of the severe beating which the Fascisti gave him. The three workers had made re- marks against the Fascisti for their murder of the Socialist deputy Mat- teotti. Maccaferri said that this bru- tal killing was one of the worst crimes yet committed by the Fascisti. Several of the “national militia,” Fas- cist thugs, overheard him but did nothing then. { At night four of these men seized the worker in a blanket and took him far out of the city. They demanded the names of the members of his branch of the Free Italy and Socialist societies, which he refused to give. Then he was frightfully beaten and held for five days. Another July 4 Picnic.

William Z. Foster, C. BE. Ruthenberg, J. Louis Engdahl, and Robert Minor are on the program to speak in English. Presi, editor of the Communist Italian daily newspa- per, “Il Lavoratore,” Sormenti and Porfiri will speak in Italian. There will be representatives to speak for the Jugo-Slavs, Czecho-Slo- vaks, Jewish, Polish, Finnish and oth- er national groups. “Teapot” Thieves In Italy. The meetings in New York and Boston have been tremendously im- pressive. There is no reason why Chicago should not voice its feeling against the unspeakable crimes and the vile grafting of the Fascisti. The infamous Harry Sinclair and Standard Oil have polluted Italy as well as the United States. The work- ers must learn in all nations to do away with “Teapot Dome” govern- ments that rob the workers and farm- ers for the profits of the few rob- bers on “top.” The workers of all nations, Italy, the United States, Po- land, everywhere, must learn to upset the “Teapots” and make a real class government of workers and: farmers like the people of Soviet Russia have been building since the overthrow of czarism. Show Where You Stand. Come Thursday evening, July 3, to the Westside Auditorium and hear some of the most stirring speakers of the country and show that you, too, are against the oppression of re- actionary and counter-revolutionary forces in all countries and for the goverhment of all by the workers and farmers.

A. and Lusk Laws To prevent the teaching of history from any text-books, Excepting” ‘those written from the so-called can” viewpoint, the History bill was introduced’ in the New York legisla- ture. That Bill was killed by the single-handed fight of Local No. 5, while the N. E. A. sat by with folded hands. The N. E. A. took no action to have the Lusk Laws repealed. The N. E. A. did not raise a finger to pre- vent the attacks on the Rand school in 1919. The N. BE. A. has blocked uniform salary legislation, which would give the same salary to a teacher who has not been able to raise himself, by means of political machinations, to the teaching of a higher grade, as to the teacher who as been willing to put scruples aside. juch a law the N. H. A. characterized as “rank Bolshevism.” As president of the N. E. A., David Hunter did his best to undermine the teachers’ tenure-of-office rule, in spite of the fact that teachers everywhere heartily sanctioned it. The .N. E. A. has worked hard to break up teach- ers’ unions. Since its very inception, the N. E. A. has been a tremendous force for reaction. fe Teachers Demand Voice Underlying the projects of the teachers’ union is the idea that teach- ers should have the controlling voice in teachers’ affairs, and that the man- agement at present imposed from above by _ politically-manipulated boards and big manufacturers must be abolished. The influence exerted by such boards was seen in the proposal made last year in New York that free den- tal clinics for the use of school chil- dren be done away with, because of the loss of prestige the use of such clinics might cause the dental pro- fession. Legislation advocated by the Amer- ican Federation of Teachers includes a child labor law. ‘The women’s equal rights bill, the federation opposes on the ground that it aims simply to destroy the opportunity for special legislation protecting women, and that it is one more subterfuge of man- ufacturers’ assoviations, Revere to Dance in Moonlight July 3rd for Winning Banner REVERE, Mai June 30,—-The Revere Jewish branch of the Workers Party will celebrate the DAILY WORKER contest victory with a moonlight party and dance on the beau- tiful walnut lawn at 231 Walnut avenue, Revere, on Thursday, July 3, at 8 p.m, Every member is instructed to bring a “product” of his or her profession to auction off for the bene- fit of the Jewish Daily Freiheit.

Bagnall, a forceful Negro speaker, as the next speaker, calmly anounced that “we are not interested in backgrounds and ancestry; we are interested in what a man thinks and does now, and we regret that we have received no answer to our letter re- questing a statement of position on the Ku Klux Klan.” Mr, Baknall spoke of the deep changes that are going on in tle Ne- groes’ life as evidenced by the great migration to the North. The Negro, he said, is tired of robbery, tired of lynching, tired of peonage, tired of denial of education. He is tired of the fact that he has no safety and no liberty, and having tasted the elixir of freedom he stays in the North and will never be con- tent without it. He may go back South, but others return with him, and he does not go back a second time. The Negro And the War “The president,” said Mr. Bagnall, referring to Wilson, “told a Negro “Ameri-| regiment during the war, ‘Out of this conflict you are to expect full citizen- ship rights such as are accorded all citizens.’ The American Negro went to France, and there he experienced the same treatment from the Ameri- can military as he had received at home. After his return, and while still in uniform, the Negro found worse treatment than he had received before. “Out of this experience came the ‘New Negro’ who has ceased to have patience and is determined to fight and strive for real liberty. He is tired of the hypocrisy of those who say ‘If you will only wait’; he is no longer willing to beg, and he leaves the South for the North, where, if he does not find full equality, he finds at least a foothold.” The rebellious spirit of the dele- gates was only added to by a speech of Judge Ira W. Jayne, a white “lib- eral Republican” of Detroit, contain- ing some cold analysis of the history of the so-called emancipation of the Negro, and no defense whatever of the Republican party. Lawyer Hits Coolidge A terrific attack was made by Shelby J. Davidson, a Negro lawyer of Washington, D. C., upon the Coolidge administrator’s present poli- cy of forcing segregation and intoler- able humiliation upon government em- ployes of Negro blood, who are slow- ly being eliminated by fair, means or foul. BS acti cent” of the” Negro cleric: orkers,” he said, “are being dismissed while twenty per cent of white employes are. being dismissed.” Davidson told of warning Secretary of the Treasury Mellon that the Negroes are sure to undertake politi- cal reprisals upon the Republican party because of Mellon’s policy of making it impossible for Negro cleri- cal workers to continue their employ- ment, and because of Weeks’ policy of systematic manipulation of the civil service tests so as to exclude Negroes from among the 6,000 new office workers employed for the bonus bureau, Passing the narrow bounds of Washington, Mr. Davidson vividly ex- : NEGRO PROTEST HITS COOLIDGE posed the Republican demi-god, Sena- tor Watson of Indiana, as being “with the Ku Klux Klan.” He told of the incident of the mob of 500 men which stormed the home of a Negro in Wash- ington, and the refusal of the authori- ties of the capital to give protection, because of the evident desire of the authorities to fasten segregation onto Washington. The authorities failing to respond to appeals, the Negroes reqested them, “If you find you can’t help us, get out of the way and we wil help ourselves.” He declared the willingness,» courage and ability of the Negroes to defend themselves by the same violent means that are em- ployed by the mobs. Much amusement was caused by a delegate who pleaded for the Negroes to be “genteel,” so as not to be classed with the “rough element of the race who sit in their front windows to cut their corns.” This attitude was ridic- uled by the other delegates. Evil Of Child, Segregation W. S. Henry, of Indianapolis, a Negro born in Virginia, in an able speech pointed out that the segrega- tion of colored children in Jim Crow schools is the means to stamp the spirit of the child forever with the be- lief in his own inferjority. “The Catholics tell us,” he said, “ ‘give us your child when he is young, and we will see that he dies a Catholic.” In just the same way, if you segregate a Negro child in a Jim Crow school be- tween the ages of five and twenty- one years, you will do away with his moral stamina to such an extent that he will be willing to go when life as an inferior.” . Mr. Henry and Mrs. Carrie A. Mc- Clain of Denver pointed out that school segregation is spreading in the North and that the only possible poli- cy for the Negro people interested in the welfare of their race is to stand uncompromisingly for mixed schools and for the right of Negroes to be teachers in any school regardless of their color. All speakers heartily condemned the attitude of some Ne- groes who are confusing the race by advocating submission to school seg- regation on the ground that it gives jobs to Negro teachers. Little for Education of Negroes It was pointed out by D. H. Pierce of Philadelphia that since the advent of the Klan, the movement against the Negroes has attained greater pro- portions. J. C. Wright of Jackson- ville Florida showed that the Klan’s drive upon Negro education is becom- ing intolerable, and that in his city only $2.12 is spent for the education of-each Negro child, whereas $13.28 is spent to educate each white child. Professor Alain L. Locke, professor of social philosophy of Howard Uni- versity, made a brilliant plea for the discarding of worn-out ideas of the past and the adoption of the scientific attitude toward social problems of the Negro. “We are often shocked,” he said, “at radicei ideas, even when those radical ideas come closest to our needs. We must cease thinking in the terms of half a generation back, and must think in the terms of the present and future. We may often find that American institutions, when we have at last won our ‘way into them, may turn out to be behind the times, like a house that you may buy at a first-hand price, only to find, after you have bought it, that it is second-hand pfoperty.” DERE AE Pe RRL EIS PERC EMaResamereccunee) NEGRO MASSES WANT NATIONAL MEET TO SUPPORT FARM-LABOR MOVEMENT FOR ALLU.S. WORKERS By OTTO HUISWOOD. » The National Association of Colored People is assembled in convention this week in Philadelphia. This organization} created in 1910 following the dissolution of the Nisgara Movement, was in its inception an insurgent move- ment. The founders of the organization, led by Dr. W. B. DuBois, were com- pelled to break away from Booker T. Washington. They revolted against his philosophy of industrial education for the Negro. They felt the need for $< $$ & movement that would fight against! discrimination, disfranchisement and lynching. The policy of the leaders of the N. A. A. C, P., has so far been largely one of appealing to Ceasar from Ceasar. The petitioning of Congress- men to favor an anti-lynching law, their appeal to the conscience of the nation to stamp out Jim-Crowism and lynching, comprises by far the largest part of their work. Good Publicity Work It must be said however, that their investigations and publicity of lynch- ings are of great propaganda value. The convention of N, A. A. ©, P. wil be confronted with the supreme task of outlining a new program for the Negro masses. The policy of lobbying congress no longer suffices. The Republican and Democratic parties—the parties of the employing class who exploit Negro labor have been weighed and found \ wanting. Both old parties are infested with the Ku Klux Klan. And in many sec- tions of the country the Negro masses are in open revolt against the Re- publican party—the traditional party of the Negro. The democrats are the classical enemies of the Negroes, Even such a reactionary body as the Negro Methodist Convention has open- ly denounced the repubi Negroes Learn of Cl. jociety. There is an ever growing sentiment among the Negro workers to replace the two capitalist parties \#th a party that will fight for their economic and litieal advancement. They are slow- cx ly beginning to realize that their in- terests are identical with that of the white workers, and that a necessary condition for their emancipation is their co-operation with the white workers to create a labor party, the aim of which is, the establishment of a workers’ and farmers’ government. Unless the N. A. A. C. P. realizes the need of a new orientation of poli- cy and changes from a passive to a fighting organization, it will soon find itself deserted by its rank and file element. Negro Masses Watching. The need of the hour is a str mg movement that will fight the battles of the Negro masses, A movement which is not depended upon favors from politicians, but one which will lead the Negroes in the struggle for their ge: advancement and finally for their complete emancipation from economic servitude, The eyes of the Negro bosses are focused on the convention of the N. A. A. C. P, Will it conclude its ses- sions ready to throw its strength in the fight for the emancipation of the Negro masses? Upon the answer to this gestion will depend the future of the N, A. A.

Considering | Federal Secretary | | (Special to The Daily Worker) ASHINGTON, D. C., June 30.— Ong of the three most engrossing sub- jectg that the thousands of delegates to the National Education Association convention here are discussing is that of the establishment of a federal depettment of education with a Secretary sitting in the President's cabinet. The two other chief subjects are the teacher's retirement allowance and the permanent tenure guarantee, Dr. George D. Strayer, professor of school administration at Colombia University, and William R. Siders of Idaho, chairman of the board of trustees of the N. E. A., are both in- terested in the passage of the Sterling- Reed educational bill, which would establish the new federal department. They say that it would greatly assist by research work in the establishing of better curricula in the states and would tend to set a higher general standard of qualification for teachers, Another Chance for Influence Objectors to the education bill claim that it must be carefully handled or the secretaryship will become another Presidential plum to be awarded to some approved representative of big Tasiness. The chances for standardizing propaganda in behalf of the nation’s plundering “business interests” are too great, these objectors say, thru the Proposed federal departmeht of educa- tion. The idea of centrally directed education itself is not a fault, the opponents admit, but they point out that under the present capitalist system, with the financial and indus- trial trusts controlling government, there are grave dangers to watch for. The opponents of the federal depart- ment also show that organized labor fought for a secretary of labor in the President's cabinet, blindly thinking that the interests of the workers would be aided by such “representation” in government. What labor got was an open-shop, anti-union “representation” that has done infinitely more harm than good to the workers of this country. The pensioning af superannuated teachers is not seriously questioned by delegates, of course, altho there will be a fight to get these benevolent business interests to pass the proper legislation in\the states. The matter of permanent \tenure is raised to se- cure teachers against being turned out of jobs .f vate rena agen in the wre for instance. Would Téach “Business Morals”! Payson §mith, state commissioner of education of Massachusetts, ad- dressed the teacher delegates from the Capitol steps with blurb about demo- cracy and not letting “any agency that seeks to array class abainst class, the people of one creed against another, or citizens of one racial derivation against citizens of another” interfere in educational work. If he meant the Ku Klux, why didn’t he say so? Leon W. Goldrich of New York talked in a similar vein. “Business morals” instead of the “Political” standard of “any- thing to get by” should be taught, according to William B, Forbush, of New York. Critics of reaction have not been able to discern much differ- ence between “Business morals” and “political morals”, except that the » latter are is still in the crude and the former have been made slicker. Olive M. Jones is president of the Association, Buffalo Gag Law to Legalize Police in Smashing Meetings BUFFALO, N. Y., June 30,—A pro- test against the “second lawless supression of constitutional rights in Buffalo within two weeks” has been received by Mayor Schwab from the American Civil Liberties union, fol-' lowing police interference with a So- clalist meeting here June 24. Previ- ously a mob led by an army recruit- ing officer broke up a Proletarian party meeting. The American legion and hundred percenters then got the mayor to introduce @ measure in the city council against free speech. The Liberties union is protesting against the gag law which has not yet been voted upon, The proposed law “virtually pro- :|vides for the breaking up of meetings at which there are no overt acts of disorder, no specific violations of law, and no actual incitation to riot,” the union states, adding that such meas- ures have always been used as arbi. trary censorships by the police, Ghandi Tells Folks Thru His Own Paper Not to Get Rough BOMBAY, June 30, — Mahatma, Ghandi, the nonresistant of India, who was released from prison, after sery- ing nearly two years of his six year sentence for treason against the British government, has returned to Ahmedabad and again taken up the editorship of his two little papers, Young India, in English and be in the vernacular,
