Page Two THE DAILY WORKER FRENCH YIELD 10) MORGAN ON RUHR EVACUATION Cabinet Okays Herriot As Germans Sign PARIS, August 10.—The au- thority to accept completely the Dawes-Morgan plan for the col- onization of Germany by joint allied control, and to pledge the early evacuation by French troops of occupied Ruhr terri- tory, was given Premier Herriot today at theconclusion of a special cabinet council meeting of French ministers, which unanimously approved the ac- tions of the Premier and his col- leagues at the London repara- tions conference. Following directly on the heels of the surrender of the German representatives to the demands of the Allied finan- ciers, the action of the French cabinet is seen as the clinching of the Morgan victory in Europe. The promise to evacuate the Ruhr at an early date, while not as definite as was wanted by some, removes the objection of the Germans to signing the third protocol which is necessary to put the Dawes plan into operation, and which provides for allied priority in the purchase of coal, coke, dyes and various important by-products. The Rift in the Lute At the same time rumors of a rift in the Allied lute continue to be per- sistent. It is being semi-officially stated that M. Herriot has presented new offers from the Germans separate from the Dawes report, giving ad- ditional securities in exchange for a free hand to Germany in the Ruhr. This may be considered by the French cabinet at its meeting next Suday. America Stubborn on Debts The second possibility of dissension within the Allied ranks is the pro- posal to take up the allied war debts at a conference to be held simultane- ously with the meeting of the Allied finance ministers. While Americans will take part in the latter meeting, it is intimated from American quarters that they will not consider discussion of the war debts and will leave the conference if it is taken up officially. ‘The separate conference, they will The British foreign office has issued a statement denying that the question of the interallied debt conference had yet been considered by the repara- tions conference. Sign on Dotted Line In the meantime, the Dawes plan is sailing along in nice shape, the first of the three protocols now bear- ing the signatures of the German en- voys and the reparations commission. This document formerly accepts the Dawes plan and releases all German assets from reparations commission control, making them available as security for the proposed $200,000,000 loan to Germany. Tho the official German envoys have signed away German’s economic independence, what still remains to be seen is the answer of the German workers when they find out that they are to be manoeuvéred into a plan whereby they will soon be toiling 12 hours a day in an effort to repay the millions loaned to their masters for the “rehabilitation” of Germany. Steel Workers Plan Two Huge Meetings to Welcome Foster. GIRARD, O., August 10.—An Inter- national Picnic and Mass Meeting will be held here at Avon Park on Sunday, August 17, at 2 p. m. to wel- come William Z. Foster, Workers Party candidate for president. The leader of the great 1919 sttel strike will deliver his first campaign speech to the workers of the Mahoning val- ley and surrounding territory. There will be an evening meeting at Ukranian Hall, 525% West Rayen Avenue, Youngstown, Ohio, at 8 p. m. for those who cannot attend the afternoon meeting. From the present eagerness of the workers to hear Foster, it is expected that both meetings will be exceptionally well attendetl. The steel workers here- abouts are all for the workingclass eandidate. ROVNOST LUDU BAZAAR. The Rovnost Ludu Bazaar will be held for the benefit of our press, by the Slovak Workers’ Federation and the Slovak Workers’ Society at the Bohemian-American Hall, 1438 W. 18th St., for three days, August 30, 31 and Sept. 1, 1924.

(Continued from page 1) calling upon all the children to follow him. Twenty-one of the Negro boys left the chureh. The speaker declared that the day was soon coming when “the sixty-five millions in Hngland will find them- selves in desperate straits to keep control upon the millions and millions of Negroes in their far-away colonies. Knowing this, the English rulers are trying to ease the task of control by passing some of it on to Negro agents. They procure their Negro agents to help them rule the Negroes—and these black agents are worse than the white man himself. Great Britain uses the Negro to kill the Negro. She corrupts her colored agents, puts them in petty positions of power. Then she points to the laboring masses of Ne- groes, and she says, “you watch those fellows and make them work.” “Bven in the churches the black preacher teaches the white doctrine every time. Bachelor told of the Ne- gro minister who, watching for the slightest sign of awakening respect for their own race, picks out the of- fenders and shrieks, “Oh, you Negroes who are ungrateful to England!” Asks Curse on King. He told of eight thousand Jamaica Negro laborers who were shipped to Cuba to work. “They slaved for in- human hours by day, and then at night they had no houses to live in, but slept in miserable little ham- mocks( strung up in the open with a little scrap of roof over each ham- mock. They worked themselves beyond human indurance for one dol- lar per day, and still they were so poisoned with slavish training that they continued to sing ‘God Save the King’ But there was a little boy born af these Jamaican parents onj Cuban soil, and he grew up old enough to talk and to think a little. One day the child said: ‘My father and mother, they are British, and they have to say, ‘God Save the King,’ but I am a Cuban, and I can say, ‘God curse the King!’ “In the British Negro colonies you toil and you don’t get enough to eat. If they don’t lynch you, anyway they starve you until you die.” Mr. Bachelor expressed the belief that the British government cannot succeed in holding the hundreds of millions now under its oppression in India. He declared he had made a solemn oath on the principle which Nelson had sworn to uphold the Brit: ish Bmpire, Nepoleon to uphold France and Washington to uphold America, that he would support the “supremacy of Black Africa.” He carried the big audience into the wildest burst of epthusiasm yet reach- ed at the convention. S. B. Grant, a delegate from Ber- muda, told of a visit he had made to Birmingham and his encounter there with “white supremacy.” On the streets of Birmingham, he said, he was kicked by a white man and told to “get out of this town.” On another occasion, he said, he was surprised to| have a white man walk up to him on the street and say, “I am going to lynch you tonight.” British Work the Children. Mr. Grant declared that Negroes were toiling in British colonies for twenty-four cents a day, with their children working for six cents a day, and expressed the opinion that Mr. Garvey “has turned the British gov- ernment into trouble.” A speaker from Africa declared that the method used by France for sub- jugating the Negroes is to divide them with religion. In one place the French will cultivate Mohammedanism, in another Christianity, and encourage each group of Negroes to hate the other, so as to keep them from unit- ing in a common cause against their opprossor. “In Somaliland,” said this speaker, “they have confiscated every inch of fertile soil. Our people have been re- duced to starvation. “Even in Abys- sinia,” he continued, “the foreign ag- gressors are gradually taking every- thing away from the Negro govern- ment. The Abyssinians have lost their last seaport.” He said that “Abyssinia is a great government, but as it is she is now hemmed in.” MeGuire Hits the Churches. Bishop George Alexander McGuire treated the subject of imperialism on the basis of religion. W. A. Wallace of Chicago said he believed that the psaeachers and the heads of the churches have had their chance to do something for the Ne- (Contined from page 1) farm federations, the Soci- ety of the Power of the Poor, etc. 6. That we call upon the workers and tenant farmers to organize special class divisions of the loan campaign and to secure special working and farming class representation on all missions and committees dealing with independence problems, This is es- sential because of the fact that the best fighters in the Philippines and in the United States for Filipino free- dom are the workers and farmers of both nations. 7. That we draw the attention of the Filipino workers and farmers to the fact that they also have an enemy, the less dangerous temporarily be- cause of its present weakness, than the powerfyl American imperialist ex- ploiters, in their own capitalist and landlord classes. Under no circum: stances shall the waging of an intense Negroes Told of Enslavement gro, and that the Negro had depended too long on the churches and the so- called Christians. The Negroes, he said, must now try to manage their own affairs and adjust their troubles themselves outside of the church. Dr, Jay J. Peters of Chicago said that France is a little better to the Negro than either England or Amer- ica. He said he hoped to see the time when he could take up the sword against England. He saw not so much need of taking the matter to the churches. The Negroes would wait long if they depended on Jesus to come and bring them bread and honey. Teach Children Fear of Negro. Cc. H. Bryant of Guatemala spoke interestingly on the matter in which, he said, the British prisons are used in keeping down the masses of Ne- groes with deadly effect. He com- plained that the British had taken the lion as their symbol in their coat of arms, whereas -the lion,was only found in Africa and belonged by right to the Negro. “And the Prince of Wales,” said Mr. Bryant, “is touring around with a great ostrich plume in his hat, thus taking away from the Negro the symbol of princes that should be worn by the Negro.” He declared that the black troops from Africa had saved France from ex- termination in the war, and that the Negro now has nothing. D. H. Kyle of Clarksburg, West Virginia, said the white man had established the principle of superior-4 ity and inferiority as the solution of the race problem, and that the Klan had come and changed the terms to read “white supremacy.” white people had so trained their children to think of the Negro as a bogy, so that when a Negro walks along the street a white child upon seeing him will often run away. Mr. Kyle spoke of the education | y, methods employed to teach white superiority, and advocated the adop- tion of like methods to teach the op- posite view to Negroes, “so that we will be a group of people who believe there is nothing sacred about the white color. “This idea of looking up to the other fellow has been poured into us, and it must be poured out again,” he said. Sees Blood of Races Mixed 1 The speaker called attention to the increasing poportion of Mulatto pop- ulation, since the emancipation in 1863 as evidence that the whites themselves seek to mix the blood of the races. He recited incidents of Negro teachers who, because they dared to mention such matters, were told to get out and seek other employ- ment, ‘A delegate from Pennsylvania guve an exceedingly interesting talk on the manner in which religion is used to subjugate the Negro. “In the King James version of the Bible,” he said, “you will find every idea to hold the Negro down.” Yet he was not against Christianity and believed in some parts of the Bible—“especially the part which says that Princes shall come out of Egypt.” The speaker said he was very skeptical as a result of} ¥ the fact that the “the white man was the first to teach religion to the Negro.” The Negro, he thought, must have some new system of religion. No Hostility to White Man The French, he said, first used re- ligion to subjugate the Negro, and the next blow would be to exterminate him. America, this speaker believed, “is absolutely done with the Negro. She has used the Negro, and now she is ready to get shet of him.” This was given in a few words what is practic- ally the gist of the whole philosophy of the Garvey organization. “But America has used the Negro within her own bounds,” he said. The only policy and the only thing that I can see is to prepare a place for our- selves. We have no hostility to the white man. Give them America if they are willing to help us to géf’a country for ourselves in Africa.” If you add to this the constantly repeated statements of delegates that they believe that ninety-nine out of every hundred white men in Ameér- ica, “inwardly if not outwardly”, ac- cept the doctrine of the Klu Klux Klan in regard to the Negro, you have just about found the basis of the peculiar nationalistic philosophy, of this anti-clerical, anti-imperialist or- ganization of Negro working people which drives {t to the incredible stand against fighting the Klan murder or- ganization whieh kills, tortures and burns their black brothers.

LOUIS ENGDAHL. Topay we are witnessing the interesting developments in the largest railroad merger in American history That should prove a stratling awakener for You Work- ers and Farmers, in these days when YOU are beeing stam- peded into the LaFollette political morrass, under the smoke screen slogan of “Back to '76!"" when big capitalism is moving forward with giant strides. * * * ae The consolidations of E. H. Harriman, Jay Gould, Jim Hill and other railroad Czars of the past, are outrivaled in the combination engineered by Orris P. and Mantis J. Van Swer- ingen, of Cleveland, owners of the “Nickle Plate System.” Railroad workers, you, who have enlisted under the La- Follette banner of “free competition,” must awaken to the realization that this shows agairi how you have been lured into a fantastic political dreamland. Wall Street is going ahead with its great mergers, in and out of campaign times, in spite of the wild and meaningless bellowing of the “little business’ politicians. You jRailroad Workers, split into 16 craft unions, with hundreds of thousands of your kind unorganized, Behold the immensity and the compactness of this new consolidation of your masters. The combined capitalization of this new “deal” in cap- italism’s game against you will total $1,500,000,000.00 and the merger will bring under one direction 14,000 miles of line, including not only the Nickle Plate, Chesapeake and ‘Ohio, Hocking Valley, Brie and Pere Marquette railroads, but also the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, Wheeling and Lake Erie and Virginian Railroads. % % * Wall Street says that these two young Cleveland rail- road magnates are not only planning a huge terminal in New York City, on the Atlantic Coast, but that they intend stretch- ing their grip to the Pacific Coast, opening the first single railroad route across the continent. ‘ Wall Street knows! Because the Van Sweringen Broth- ers are not lone agents. They are mere putty in the hands of the House of Morgan and its New York First National Bank. Months ago, under the direction of the House of Morgan, the Van Sweringens began stock accumulations in the various lines they wanted to control. They didn’t put down a single new tie or rail. They merely manipulated the ownership of private property already existing. The “larger stockhold- ers,” note the “larger,” have been won over to the big Morgan plan, and the consolidation is going thru with the consent of the Interstate Commerce Commission. * * * The Morgan-Van Sweringen trustification will tighten the grip of the great financiers more securely than ever upon the throats, not only of the railroad workers, and-all indus- trial labor, but also upon the farmers. Morgan''s laughter can be heard rumbling across the Atlantic, from London, as he beholds Johnston, Stone and other railroad union offi- cials whooping it up for LaFollette and the little stockholders, the little bankers and “legitimate business.” LaFollette’s ideas of “regulating” big business have been put into effect nationally thru the Interstate Commerce Com- mission, and this august body, that renders every decision on the side of business, says it is all right for Morgan and the Van Sweringens to go ahead. * & * * Communists say that LaFollette’s program is the most reactionary program in this year’s campaign. This latest news of Wall Street's activities in the railroad world prove it, just as similar developments in other industries will teach the same lesson, over and over again, in the days immediately ahead. ’ Communists say that the workers and farmers must not follow LaFollette back 150 years into the days of the stage coach and the village blacksmith shop. Communists say that the plundered masses must move forward, not in an effort to protect LaFollette’s little busi- ness men, but to the winning of all power for themselves; for the liberation of their class from the bondage of all capital- ists, both big and little. * * * Coolidge, the strikebreaker president, says, “All power in the hands of the big capitalists. Davis, who would be a strikebreaker president, echoes, “All power in the hands of the big capitalists. LaFollette, the betrayer of the masses, tries to coin the discontent of jobless workers and landless farmers into sup- port of his pet appeal, “Give little business a chance!” The Communists call for a struggle against all these upholders of capitalism under the slogan of, “All power to the workers and farmers!” . = * * The Morgan-Van Sweringen railroad consolidation will help expose the treason of LaFollette. It will reveal the poison in his teachings. It will bare the real nature of capitalist de- velopment. It will help drive the workers and farmers into the Communist movement out of the sheer necessity of pro- tecting their own interests. K Bi) * * * Two bg s forward! One step backward! Labor slipped one step backward when it lent an ear to the siren appeal of LaFollette. in time it will move two steps forward again. signatures and under ordinary cir- cumstances should have 9,500 allow- ing for the shrinkage which invari- ably results when the petitions are checked by the Secretary of State.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 10.—A new situation drive by the Builders’ é Monday, August 11, 192% GARY SILENT ON TRAGIC BLAST IN BIG STEEL MILL Steel City Officials in League with Trust (Continued from page 1) agreed that three or more men were killed in the blast. The First Story. The close connection between the wishes of the Gary Steél Works and the policy of the Post Tribune is seen in the way the Gary paper handled the story of the blast. The first ac- count of the disaster states: “One man was killed, SEVERAL ARE MISSING in the explosion which COMPLETELY WRECKED No. 5 blast furnace at the Gary Works. Bricks and steel were hurled all over the immediate vicinity of the furnace, and rescuing parties are;now at work SEARCHING FOR THE BODIES OF SEVERAL OTHER LABORERS WHO WERE WORKING IN THAT VICIN- ITY AT THE TIME OF THE ©Xx- PLOSION AND ARE THOT TO HAVE BEEN’ BURIED. THE STRUCTURE WAS COMPLETELY RUINED.” Second Story. However, the next day’s report in the paper, after the company officials had time to get their breath, stated, “It was at first believed that several other men lost their lives beneath the mass of brick and steel when the giant furnace toppled over after it had been blown to bits by gas; however, DESPITE RUMORS THAT OTHER BODIES HAD BEEN FOUND, offi- cials said today they were practically certain that only one man lost his life.” Workmen want to know what-hap- pened to the crew when the “giant furnace toppled over after it had heen blown to bits.” Coroner Angry. Coroner E. E. Evans told the DAILY WORKER he has set no date for the inquest. When he was asked, “When will you hold the inquest over the body of the man killed in the blast explosion,” he asked, “Which man do you mean?” “Which other man was killed besides Walter Ny- strom?” he was asked and replied crossly, “No one else.” He admitted, however, that he will be forced to in- quire into whether there were other deaths. The inquiry will be a farce however, as the city officials, the newspapers and the doctors have combined to shield the discovery of the extent of the disaster from the steel workers. i The reporter handling the story of the disaster for the Post Tribune ad- mitted that he was not at all sure as to whether or not more than one man was killed. “The company announces that only one was killed,” he added, “and we can do nothing but take their word for it.” By an ironic coincidence, at the very moment when the DAILY WORKER reporter entered the city hall, the chief of police and J. Harris, brother of the city editor of the Post Tribune, had their heads together over a DAILY WORKER and Work- ers Party anti-war leaflet which party members in Gary had been distribut- ing from house to house. The police chief was threatening to arrest the distributors of the leaflets, but he in- dignantly refused to reveal any in- formation which might get the Gary Steel Mills in “bad.” A. V. Martin, secretary to R. W. Atchison, the superintendent of the blast furnaces, while he hotly denied that more than one man was killed in the blast, absolutely refused to al- low the DAILY WORKER reporter to view the ruins caused by the explos- ion. Just as the DAILY WORKER reporter came out of Martin's office, a Polish steel worker came from the mill gates with his hands cut to pieces and his face a mass of wounds, the blood dripping to the ground. He was curtly directed to the hospital, by the guard, who turned to the DAILY WORKER reporter and re- marked, “That a common occurence here. We don’t think anything of it.” strom’s body was so torn to that no one was poration of which Elebrt president, are working at per cent of their normal capacity, those who are working, are employed only two and three days per week. — = : : : g 1000 Per Cent Profit.
