John- ston followers to endorse the LaFol- lette-Wheeler combination as their candidates for the presidency and vice-presidency of the United States in the coming election. The LaFollette forces used the cus- tomary anti-Communist propaganda in speaking for the motion. They brought up the argument that the entire offi- cialdom of the A. F. of L. was for LaFollette and that the members should adopt the Gompersian policy. Stands by Principles. The great majority of the members, however, pointed out that local 390 has stood for independent working class political action for several years and would not now desert its princi- ples. August Plambeck, one of the progressives who worked in Wiscon- sin, pointed out that it was one of the worst states in the union for ma- chinists despite the fact that LaFol- lette has complete control of the po- litical machinery of Wisconsin. The role of the Proletarian Party members during the discussion was amusing. While they pointed out the true character of the LaFollette move- ment, they refrained from voting on the question and delivered their usual tirade against the Communists. \ For this they were highly praised by the LaFollette supporters. Elect Progressive. August Plambeck was elected dele- gate from the local to the next con- vention of the Illinois State Federa- tion of Labor. Duncan MacDonald, former secre- tary of the Illinois Miners’ Union, and also former president of the Illinois State Federation of Labor, was nom- inated to fill the latter position, by local 390.

Editor’s Note.—Dangers of new wars are set forth in gripping form in the Manifesto cf the Communist International on the tenth anniver- sary of the World War.

Recruiting posters show beautiful pictures of palm trees and orange groves, high mountains, placid seas and fertile plains. But the sail- ors on board the United States cruiser Galveston at Ceiba, Honduras, if they do any thinking at all, realize that the difference hetween the Bald- win-Feltz strikebreaking agency and the United States navy is one of de- gree or form. The cruiser Galveston was sent to Honduras to quell a strike, which the cruiser did. The capitalists welcomed the ship and the workers had to chose between get- ting their heads blown off or going back to work for the American capi- talists who gave the orders to the Galveston.

But the labor fakers are suspicious. They are afraid the socialists will grab off the funds. All in all, LaFol- lette is going to have a hard time keeping his united front from divid- ing up. . . ° T was a mean trick of General Dawes to splash the red paint over the LaFollette banner. In the first place, it was not fair to LaFollette. In the second place, it was not fair to the socialists. The Wisconsin sen- ator is as much opposed to socialism as the socialist party is and Mell an’ Maria knows it. But “everything is fair in love or in war” and politics is war. We are anxiously awaiting Mr. LaFollette’s reply stating that he has nothing in common with the social- ists, except a mutual desire to get their fingers on the Administration pie. It would not surprise us to see Gompers come out with another wal- lop against the socialists and sug- gest to LaFollette that he would gain more than he will lose by dropping them into the sewer. . * . N Europe the capitalists use the so- cialdemocrats because the latter have millions of followers among the workers and the petty bourgeoisie.

America, whose coffers are filled to overflowing with European gold, is supporting the military strength of France and 1s dictating to Germany a period of economic sub- jection as a punishment for its own defeat. Only born idiots can imagine that the “experts’ report” is a peace- ful, democratic, pacifist solution of the problem. As a matter of fact, the entente is dictating its agreement with a pistol thrust at the head of Germany. We are told that the res- toration of the economic standard of Europe is made possible only thru the free play of the forces of capitalism; they tell us that in order to damn the | idea of an economic organization based on socialism.

Crowe: That worthy appears to have a hanging complex. Wherever a dead body is found anywhere within the limits of his jubisdiction, Mr. Crowe takes down his trusty noose and looks at it lovingly hoping that before many moons it will decorate the neck of some human being. When the Franks case broke and the murderers con- fessed, Crowe rubbed his hands glee- fully, muttering “a perfect hanging case.” He has repeated that phrase several times a day since. His assist- ants have contracted the habit. ‘A man with such a strong desire to get @ rope around some fellow human’s neck should not be at large. It is only a question of time when Crowe may lose his judicial poise and go on a hanging spree. Or he might join the Ku Klux Klan. * ° . RIGADIER General Van Horn THE DAILY WORKER italist country of Europe. The German bourgeoisie is in agree- ment with this transaction, because, in extreme need, with the help of for- eign force, it hopes to complete its subjection of the German proletariat. It is constantly placing heavier bur- dens upon the workers; it is wrench- ing from them the last of the gains they made during the revolution; it is lenghtening the working-day; it is speeding up production; and by. these means it hopes to force the German workers, under the conditions of the new methods of technical and produc- tive concentration, to put up with all the sufferings, privations, and miser- ies of the early period of factory life. The enervating and crushing of the German proletariat serves the bour- geoisie of Europe, by permitting them to hold the Damocles’ sword of Ger- man competition over the heads of the working masses. Finally, Ameri- can capital is being put to the task with the help of foreign capital and, of “controlling” Europe with the help of its experts—which means, really, to govern Europe, in exactly the same way that a few American magnates control dozens of trusts and Tailroads. At the same time the American capi- talist is planning, with the help of his European profits, to Sway the “leaders” of the American working class, its aristocracy, which is led by the greatest of all yellow traitors, Gompers, and to crush relentlessly millions of. proletarians, under the threat of a new flood of immigration from ruined Europe. This monstros plan for the enslave- ment of the European working masses thru Anglo-Saxon capital with the aid of French militarism, has been ac- cepted and furthered by the members of the parties of the Second Interna- tional. The Socialists of the entente countries are providing a sanctimon- fous excuse for the robber politics of its bourgeoisie, with whom it is marching shoulder to shoulder. The Social-democrats of Germany are fig: uring that the re-establishment of a strong capitalist order will bring them At the same time, it explains its collaboration with the Getman bour- geoisie by referring to the “necessity ‘of resisting outside pressure.” Amid the hue and cry about Communist plots and an “international Cheka,” there is unfolding itself before our very eyes a brutal capitalist plot against the workers of Europe and of the whole world. The organizing spirit of this plot is finance capital, with its general staff in New York and its partners in London, The mgst important and significant work is given over to the marshals of the French Bourse. As supporters, de- fenders and advocates of this plot ap- pear the Social-democrats and the members of the Amsterdam trade-un- ions.

J., Aug. 21—The Ku Klux Klan of Trenton and vicinity plans to.turn Labor Day into a gigan- tic demonstration in behalf of” the hooded order. A huge parade is be- ing arranged for Hamilton township, adjacent to Trenton, and the Klan spokesmen are making the grandiose claim that they will have 100,000 per- sons in line. Want to Cow Negroes. These Klan preparations are regard- ed ominously by. Trenton Negroes. Klansmen have been applauding the “shoot to kill” orders which Commis- sioner of Public Safety George B. La- Barre issued to policemen dealing with alleged disorderly Negroes. It is charged that both the police and the Kluxers are attempting to cow the southern Negroes who are employed in the open shop steel mills and fac- tories of this community. In fact, LaBarre is issuing ‘his ful- minations against these southern emi- grants, who have swelled the Negro population of Trenton from 4,000 to 8,000. The only overt act of any con- sequence to which the commissioner can point is a fight which Owen Bron- er, a former overseas soldier, had with two policémen, which resulted in the death of the Negro A. E. F. man and the wounding of the two po- licemen. A minor affray occurred when Howard Dangerfield, Negro physical instructor in the Negro pub- lic schools, thrashed a white man who resented his using a certain diving platform at a public swimming pool. The white man struck the first blow. Many Negroes Unemployed. . Many black and white workers have been laid off in the Trenton mills and factories recently. Some of the southern Negroes have been charging that Trenton industrial conditons had been misrepresented to them. They say they were given to understand they would have steafiy employment if they came north. Among the corporations employing many Negroes are the American Steel and ‘Wire Company, the John L.

Whether he can wage war on his wife and at the same time-defend his country against the Communists is a moot question. An interesting fact connected with the divorce proceedings was discoy- ered when the general admitted that the court kept notice of the suit se- cret for fear the pacifists. would use his predicament against Moseley be- cause of his “defense” activities. “Birds of a feather flock together,” Pycckaa Bevepunka This Saturday night, at the Soviet School, 1902 W.

A flat scale of 90 cents per hour became effective, under act of Congress, on July 1 last.

APPEAL TO BROOKLYN BAKERS TO GET TOGETHER AND LAUNCH UNITED » FRONT FIGHT ON NON-UNION SHOPS (Special to The Dally Worker) BROOKLYN, N. Y., Aug. 21.—A misunderstanding has arisen here between the Amalgamated Food Workers’ Union and Bakers’ Union, No. 163, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, which if continued threatens to wreck the organization of the workers in the baking industry. The following is an open letter by the Bakers’ Section of the Trade Union Educational League, to the workers of Coney Island and Brooklyn and calling upon+ them to insist upon a UnitedyAmalgamated Food Workers is the Front of all organized bakers to fight their real enemy, the bak- ery bosses. The open letter follows: To the Workers of Coney Island and Brooklyn! The organized workers in the baking industry are faced with a deplorable situation. About 60 per cent of the industry is under the so-called open shop which is constantly and steadily spreading. The large bakeries, such as Ward Baking Co. General Baking Co., Shultz Baking Co., Cushman and Gottfried, are non-union, it is the small cellar bakery that is unionized. The Bakers’ Trust is gradually put- ting the small baker out of business, thus more firmly establishing the open shop thruout the industry. The organized bakers in Greater New York are scattered and divided. A section’ is organized in the Interna- tional Bakery and Confectionery Workers Union affiliated with the American, Federation of Labor and another section in the Amalgamated Food Workers Union, an independent organization. , Both are labor unions striving to better the lot of the workers in the baking industry, both are struggling bitterly against the greedy bosses, both are worthy of the support and co-operation of every worker and every workers’ organization. For the last six weeks the Bakers Union No, 163, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, has carried on a publicity and organiza- tion campaign by leaflets and open air meetings. In this campaign, the object of which is to organize the non-union shops, a serious mistake is being com- mitted. The mistake is twofold—first in carrying on a campaign against the Amalgamated Food Workers, a sec- tion of organized bakers outside of the conservative American Federation of Labor, and, second, in trying to disor- ganize organized bakers instead of or- ganizing the non-union shops. This campaign tends to weaken the present organization of the bakers, Promotes demoralization within the union ranks, and creates a state of war among the organized bakery workers. The Bakers’ Section of the Trade Union Educational Leagie feels it a duty to call the attention of the or- ganized bakers and the workers of Coney Island and Brooklyn to this un- justified and injurious campaign by one union against another, which pro- mulgates a brother warfare, detri- mental to the best interests of the bakers and the organized labor move- ment. ‘ Such a campaign must stop! War among the Bakers must go! The Bakers of Greater New York must learn by the experiences and follow the example of the Bakers’ locals in the Bronx, The Bronx Local No. 169, affiliated with the American Fedérafion of La- bor, and Local No. 164, affiliated ‘with the Amalgamated Food Workers, have for some time inaugurated a United Front policy. One unfon will not try to take organized shops away from an- other, which the Brooklyn American Federation of,Labor bakers are trying to do in their present publicity and organization campaign, especially, con- ducted in Coney Island, It must be definitely recognized that the organization of the Bakers in the American Federation of Labor and the organization of bakers in the ED.

Both Bakers’ Unions must accept and establish the policy of the United Front thruout Greater New York as Proposed by the Bronx Locals for the specific purpose of preserving their organizations, organizing the non-un- ion shops and finally joining together to defeat the sinister influences of the Bakers’ Trust and check the open shop drive in the industry. We therefore appeal to the organ- ized bakers and to the workers of Coney Island and Brooklyn to put a stop to this war within the organized victory over the Communist menace. | Friday, August 22, 1924 Class War Against Imperialist War! iS Tis | SOCIAL GALL Cicero Cops Try the Soft Soap Suds The Young Workers League again held an open air meeting in Cicero, And the cops were with them.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.—“I am @ sacrifice to unfair industrial condi. tions. I die as a protest against a system under which I cannot earn a living,” said John Biddlecome, 52, a suicide here. He was without a job for a long time and had no money, ing, mounted the platform and gave a short talk on “free speech” in the United States. A few minutes later the wagon rolled up and both com- rades were ushered in for a free ride tothe police station, while the crowd hissed and yelled at the police. Singing Jailbirds. On the way the two Young Workers sang to the cops. They sang “Tramp, Tramp, Keep on a-Tramping,” “The Preacher and the Slave,” and had just finished the “Red Flag” when they reached the station. The cops, who had listened, interested in spite of themselves,, recollected their duty and gruffly told them to “cut out that sing- ing while you're in the building.” “Yes, sir,” they answered meekly. But when they went upstairs, it de- veloped that “they are not under ar- rest. Chief of Police Swoboda just wanted- to come to an agreement about where these street meetings should be Held.” Captain Quite Cordial. Followed a social chat of 15 min- utes during which Chief Swoboda (which, by the way, is Russian for freedom) threatened that if we didn’t stop our meetings on the main street of Cicero he would send down a brass band to play on the opposite corner and take away our crowds. He whee- dled us to “co-operate with the po- lice,” even offering to give C. Miller a nickel with which to call him before each meeting and tell him on which block the meeting was to be held. And, what is more, they promised po- lice protection since a rather over- ripe tomato had met the back of Mill- er’s shirt during his talk. When the Cicero comrades, who had rushed around and rustled up a batl of respectable size, arrived, they found that the “arrest” of the two lesgue members had turned into a “kidding fest.” The sum total of the affair was that the Cicero police, in giving permission to the Workers Party to hold their meetings on any street except 14th St., acknowledged their defeat in the struggle waged between the party and the Cicero authorities since the begin- ning of the open air season.
