] Page Four eS ALASKA RAILROAD IS SABOTAGED IN MORGAN'S BEHALF U. S. ‘Aims t0 Discredit Public Ownership 'y The Federated Press) . wasINGTON, July 13.—Rein- statement of three operating officials of the government railroad in Alaska, | who had been dismissed by Colonel Lee H. Landis, manager of the road, is Secretary Work’s first move toward pacifying the bitter quarrel aroused by bureaucrats during the past year/ in the road’s affairs. Landis was en-| trusted with the job of “raising hell,” acording to reports from employes on| the line, and the chiefs of the train service brotherhoods have several| times had to intervene to prevent strikes which Landis seemed anxious to bring on. The brotherhoods believe that the administration has deliberately planned to make a failure of opera- tion of the property in order that it might be turned over to the Guggen- heim-Morgan syndicate that controls every other big interest in the terri- tory. Another motive seen in the pol- icy of trouble making is an attempt to discourage public ownership senti- ment in the United States by making of the Alaska railroad an “awful ex- ample.” Now that Landis has overreached himself, and Work has received a hot bombardment of protests from every town along the line, Landis may be withdrawn and a more cautious sub- stitute segt in to continue the task. Japan’s Ambassador Leaves Dissatisfied With U. S. Attitude (Spécial to the DAILY WORKER) WASHINGTON, July 13.—Leaving Washington today, Masano Hanihara, retiring Japanese ambassador, returns to his country convinced that a more satisfactory disposition of the Japa- nese immigration question must be arranged if trouble is to be avoided between the two countries, that, al- though outward anti-American demon- strations in his country soon will end, resentment on the part of the Japa- nese wil continue under the surface. Hanihara has not resigned as am- bassador, but, the understanding here is that he probably will not return to Washington as ambassador. The future course of Japan in deal- ——~.ing .with the immigration question * ‘ Newton, arrested in Del Rio, Texas. is expected to be decided after confer- ences between Hanihara and the To- kio governmnt. It is doubtful that any further step will be taken by Japan before the elections in this country, but there is every indication that Japan does not regard the ques- tion as a closed incident. The American government does re- gard the question as closed. British Stool Can’t ‘Draw Crowds with ‘Red Menace’ Guff MILFORD, Utah, July 13—The turr’ble red menace, as pictured by an alleged Col. Smith to chautauqua audiences is failing to draw in Utah. The chautauqua stopping off here with the mysterious Smith was prom- ised $1,000 by local people but only $280 was collected. Smith claims he was an officer in the British secret service in Russia and said he has the goods on the bolsheviks. Judg- ing by the attendance, people here didn’t care whether he had or not. (This Col. Smith first drew good fees lecturing to Chicago busines men. ‘When this petered out he was sent to smaller Illinois towns and now he is on his last legs on the skidroad.)

CANADIAN MINISTER OF LABOR PROVED STRIKE BREAKER AGAINST MINERS AND POSTAL WORKERS NOW (Special to The Daily Worker) TORONTO, Ont., July 13.—During the recent postal strike, Murdoch, minister of “labor” in the liberal cabinet at Ottawa, secured great publicity for himself by telling the striking posties that they could “strike until hell freezes over,” and was able to end the strike by promising the men that they would not receive a wage cut when they returned to work. The postal workers are very indignant regarding the conduct of Murdoch. But the publication of some telegrams which passed between Murdoch Cape Breton last July paints Murdoch in even blacker colors than his conduct during the postal strike does. The steel workers of Sydney, N. S., struck on June 27th last year to force the British Empire Steel Cor- poration to grant them a 20 percent increase in wages, an eight-hour day, recognition of their union, and the check off collection of union dues, The corporation which dominates not only the city of Sydney, but the en- tire province, used the local police force to prevent the steel workers from picketing, and because the work- ers insisted on picketing the chief of police and a judge were prevailed upon to send in an application for troops to preserve “law and order” and “protect private property.” Strikebreakers With Lewis. The Liberal government at Ottawa sent the troops, of course, but the Li- beral government of Armstrong in Nova Scotia not to be outdone ip its loyalty to the corporation send down a force of waterfront rats dressed inj uniform and dubbed “Provincial Po- lice.” With the aid of these state troops, and the strikebreaking activi- ties of Jdhn L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers who deposed the offi- cers of the miners and cancelled the district charter, the strike was final- ly crushed. The federal government sent so meny thousand troops to Nova Scotia during this strike that some members, of the government were afraid that it would create a bad impression on the workers. Murdoch was one of these, He did not oppose sending the troops, but was anxious that they should be sent in such a manner that the work- ers of the rest of the country would notprotest this action of the govern- ment by striking. The miners of Nova Scotia send appeals to the min- ers of Alberta to strike in sympathy with them against the use of troops against workers on strike. Cancel Strikers’ Charters. The rank and file of the miners of that district were undoubtedly favor- able to such a strike, and in Drum- heller Valley a strike was declared. But Sherman, president of the dis- trict, understood his duty to the capi- talists that he opposed a strike. He succeeded in getting the district ex- ecutive to vote against the strike, and cancelled the charters of the locals in Drumheller which hej struck. Sherman was so afraid that the min- ers would strike in spite of him that he sent a telegram to Murdoch tell- ing him of the critical “situation and stating that the membership will not be controlled by the district officials of this organization unless immediate steps are taken to improve serious situation now existing in Nova Scotia.” He Didn’t Tell. Murdoch sent this information to Armstrong at Halifax and he was of the opinion that steps should be tak- en to inform the “public” as to the serious situation. To this Murdoch replied: “In my judgment, if labor generally thruout Canada knew the real causes of the present industrial trouble and the facts sin connection with the calling of the troops to Cape Breton, labor generally from coast to coast would be in much greater re- bellion.” Thus this creature formerly an official of the Brotherhood of Rail- way Trainmen and given the position of Minister of Labor by the Liberal party because of his services to the party and the fact that it was neces- sary to secure a “safe and sane” labor skate for the job of minister of labor, shows that he knew that the workers of Cape Breton were justified in strik- ing yet he was so loyal to the bosses that he upheld the actions of the capt awn Nee tay PHOTOGRAPHS ' $1.00 Six Months «» STATE....

Labor’s War Lord Won’t Give World AMSTERDAM, July 13.—Interna- tional Anti-War Day, Sept. 21, will not be observed by the American Federa- tion of Labor, acocrding to announce- ment by the Amsterdam International Federation of Trade Unions with which the A. F. of L. was at one time affiliated. A letter from Samuel Gompers states that while his organ- ization will do what it can for univer- sal peace, “it is not deemed advisa- ble or practicable” to participate. “In spite of this attitude, our da; will not fail to be celebrated in the United States,” the International, as- serts. A request to the A. F. of L. to send a fraternal delegate to the Vienna congress of the International held in June was also turned down. Negro Doctor is Now Head of Negro Vets’ Tuskegee Hospital (Special to the Paty, WORKER WASHINGTON, D. C., July 13 — A Negro physician, Dr. Joseph M. H. Ward, of Indianapolis, has been ap- pointed as medical officer in charge of the United States, veterans’ hos- pital at Tuskegee, Alabama, to suc- ceed Dr. Charles M. Griffith, a white doctor. Dr. Ward completes the Ne- gro staff of the hospital in line with the government’s policy of replacing white members as soon as trained Negroes were found. Dr. Ward at- tained the highest rank of any Negro in the world war, that of major. “Take Mexico, It’ll > Pay,” Is Advice of Greedy U. S.

An attempt was made upon the life of Mussolini yes- terday and it is feared that the gov- ernment will become even stricter against all Socialist and Communist workers. Rossi Seeks Death. Cesare Rossi, former Fascist offi- cial in charge of the interior depart- ment press bureau, tried to commit suicide in prison where he is held in connection with the kidnapping and murder of Giacomo Matteotti, Social- ist deputy. He was unsuccessful. He has many nasty charges of violence and graft against him. General de Bono, deposed head of the Fascisti national militia, now ab- sorbed into the army, was interro- gated again for six hours because of his supplying the passoprts to Volpi and the other Fascist officials and thugs who attempted to‘escape after the murder of Matteotti. Workers Attacked. A group of Communist workers who put a red flag on the statue of the poet Berlii were attacked by cari- biniers and dispersed. The report has come from Brescia that the local Fascista is in uproar since the killing of the secretary of another member of the organization over the robbing of a store. Mussolini still sits in the seat of control but his days are being told off, according to all indications.

Comrade Foster, who also investi- gated conditions in Russia in the dark| t days of 1921, has had exceptional op- portunities to observe conditions in Russia at the present time.

CZARIST WRITERS OUTLIVE WELCOME INS. P. MONTHLY Snow and. Melms Glut- tons for Punishment After years vilification of Soviet Russia, the Socialist Party has at last wakened up to the fact that this poli- cy is not a paying proposition. The bitterly anti-Communist leaders of the Socialist Party have voted to elimin- ate further attacks upon Soviet Rus- sia from their official publication, the “Socialist World,”admitting that pre- vious attacks were not based on au- thentic information. The question of future. policy on Russia was put up to the national executive committee of the yellow So- cialists when another communication om the “Delegation Abroad of the Young Socialist Revolutionary of Russia” was sent in for publication. Evidently the appalling loss of mem- bership by the Socialists here made their\ national executives reconsider their destructive and disruptive anti- Communist policy toward Soviet Rus- sia, Two Bitter-enders. Edmund T. Melms, organizer in Mil- waukee, and W.)R. Snow, secretary for Illinois, voted for the continuance gf the old policy of falsification and vilification. W. M. Brandt of St. Louis, Leo M. Harkins of Philadelphia, Birch Wil- son and even Morris Hillquit, so-called “intellectual leader” of the Socialists, of New York voted against the pub- lication of the attack in question in order to set a precedent for further guidance for the “Socialist World.” Need Verification. Harkins commented that “there is a tendency on the part of contribu- tors on the Russian question to write or have printed articles that need to be verified on many points.” He said that he was “in favor of not print- ing any articles criticizing the Soviet government.” Hillquit commented. “I am opposed to the publication of the communica- tion submitted by comrade Weisbord (1) because I have some doubts about the reliability of Evgheny Schreider, and (2) I do not favor the tendency of persistent attacks on tW® Soviet government which seems to be de- veloping in some parts of the Social- ist movement.” Debs did not vote. Croatian Peasants See Best Hopes in Joining Communists (By The Fe d_ Press) MOSCOW, July 13.—The reaction- aries of Jugo-Slavia have driven the peasants straight into the arms of the Communist Party. Stefan Radich, leader of the peasant party, has ar- rived in Moscow and stated that -his party would join the farmers’ section of the Communist International. In an interview Radich declared that conditions in Russia transcend his expectations..

After a long period of uncertain- ty during which delegates to the democratic convention stated they would not accept any candidate of J. P. Morgan, John W. Davis, cor- poration lawyer, for the Morgan in- terests was chosen as candidate for president of the United States. The nomination for vice-president of the brother of the fossilized guy, who denies that he has descended from monkeys (probably because he still Is one), certainly offers no help to the workers and working farmers who are facing the worst crisis in history. Davis, the tool of Morgan & Co., no doubt, would do his master’s bidding and protect the foreign in- vestments of ‘his boss even tho he would send the American Youth in- to another slaughterfest. The fact that America is facing a serious un- employment situation, and that many millions of workers will soon be walking the streets is not worry- ing Mr. Davis. He has a solution for this problem in advance. The foreign investments of Morgan, com- ing in conflict with the investments of other capitalists would permit Mr. Davis to do away with the un- employed, by making them the fer- tilizer for the soil of the country in which they will fight for Morgan. 1 beg your pardon, America. Davis and Bryan represent the Morgan interests, who have large investments in the textile mlils where some hundreds of thousands Lis children are employed. Morgan is the exploiter not only of the adult and young workers, but of the little children as well. And Davig, and Bryan are his candidates. Davis and Bryan represent the large capitalists, those who desire a highly centralized government, which will be used to a far greater degree and more openly than befoke against the working class. Davis and Bryan represent thé same in- terests as the strike breaker Cool- idge and “Hell and Maria” Dawes, also the enemies of the workers. The workers and working-class- minded farmers can defend their interests only by supporting work- ing-class candidates, and by joining inthe struggle that will finally re- sult in wiping the capitalists from the face of the earth. KOLCHAK DRIVE UPON SOVIETS STUPIDEST YET American ‘Aid to Whites Condemned by Writer (Special to the Daily Worker.) MOSCOW, July 13.—‘Kolchak’s campaign in Siberia, supported as it was by the American, British, French, Japanese and Italian governments, stands out as one of the stupidest and most ineffective in modern times,” states one of the American corre- spondents here who has just returned from an extensive survey of the Si- berian territory which was wracked and torn by the counter-revolutionists. Whites Went Mad. The correspondent, who is employed by one of the wealthiest and strong- est capitalist dailies in the United States, further states: “The ‘whites’ under Kolchak acted as tho madness had seized them. They turned the peasantry against them by their harshness. They killed moderate re- formers. “In the civil war of 1918-19 much property along the direct line of the railways was destroyed. Bridges were blown up, many cattle were killed, and parts of towns were burned. - imperialists Blamed. “onto ‘white’ Russians in Siberia touched the nadir of folly,” the Ameri- can writer claims, altho he adds that he is not uncritical of the Bolsheviks. “But,” he adds, “the Bolsheviks at least show some force and capacity in their work.” The correspondent has written to his paper a picture of the ruin of St former industry and has re- corded his agreement with the pres- ent Soviet government’s stand that the blame for the devastaation is upon the heads of Kolchak and his imperial- ist-capitalist supporters of America, England, France, Japan and Italy. He tells of the tremendous resources of the vast territory of northern Asia and a little-of how they are now be- ing developed under the Soviet gov- ernment. Mutual Credit in Russia, MOSCOW, July 13.—There were registered societies of mutual credit, of which 38 carried on active opera- tions, by the ist of October, 1923, and .|their number had increased to 73 and don | 50, respectively, by April 1, 1924, ac- cording to a report recently presented to the Council of People’s Commis- saries, Their aggregate balance c,|sheets increased during the said pe- em fp aga tna ae - Monday, July 14, 1924 a OT GET READY!

All the World There The picnic will be international as only a press picnic can be; the pro- ceeds will go to build up not only the DAILY WORKER, but also the vari- ous language papers of the Party— Finnish, Russian, Jewish, Hungarian, Italian, Greek, South Slavic, Lithu- anian, Polish, etc. The language groups will all be represented in the entertainment, which wil consist of tableau, folk dancing, and similar items. ‘ As an ‘added attraction, it is ru- mored that Sam Hammersmark has offered to wrestle with Frank Buck- ley (ne Buzzie). Special Privileges At last. Beautiful yellow tickets, twenty inches long, looking like railroad tick- ets to Yellowstone Park or the Bel- gium Congo, are already on hand in the City Office, Room 303, 166 West Washington Street, and can be pur- chased for 35¢ each. The ticket not only admits one to the Party Picnic, but also gives one the benefit of re- duced rates on many of the famous Riverview specialties, including the “Bug House,” “Chutes,” “Big Dipper” —and the much suspected but some- how still respectable, “Mill on the Floss.” Between dances at the Party picnic—or between games—you can go out into the Park and listen to the famous Riverview Brass Band, or break your neck riding on “The Bobs,” or amuse yourself in one of the more quiet pastimes. Members of the Workers Party have indicated that they are going to make a special effort to “put over” the Press Picnic in fine style. They recognize that, now as never before, the press of the Party needs money— and, now as never before, the Party press is proving its worth to the Party, Filipino Scouts Ask rite Equal Pay with White Soldiers; Kicked Out (Special to the Daily Worker.) MANILA, 'P. L, July 13—Several hundred Filipino scouts of the United States army are to be discharged “for failing to perform their duties.” The Filipinos ‘struck for equal pay with white soldiers and refused to drill un- til their demand was attended to. About 100 of the men are in the 34th and 35th ambulance companies of the 12th medical regiment, and about the same number in the 57th regiment. The native scouts didn’t realize that the army is ruled by iron and “strikes” are dubbed “insubordina- tion” or even “treason,” and punished accordingly. x Swiss Sympathy.
