Tuesday, August 26, 1924 THE DAILY WORKE || Ze Worlder Labor DISARM TALK IS BUNK IN FACE OF WAR-STEEL UNION Europe Munitions Men Unite Against U. S. (By Federated Press.) .BERLIN, Aug. 25 — Bconomic causes of war are steadily developing while political governments prattle about peace and disarmament. A Bu- ropean steel convention is about to be formed which will include most of the notuble steel firms of the steel producing countries of Enurope. One object of this convention will be to protect European steel production against American price cutting opera- tions. European steel interests feel that: the United States with its tre- mendous surplus capacity will dump steel on the European market below cost of production if necessary in or- der to smash competition and even- tually absorb rivals, In other words they expect American capitalists to pursue the same policy which enabled them to build up monoplies in Amer- ica before the war. Bosses Condescend to Increase Wages After Cutting Them (By The Federated Press) DALLAS, Texas, Aug. 25.—Motor- men and conductors employed by the local street railway company, a Stone and Webster concern, have been granted an increase in wages. First year men will receive 45 cents an hour; second year men, 48 cents; and third year men and thereafter, 50 cents. Operators of one-man cars will receive 4 cents per hour additional. The superintendent of the company announces that the increase is given because of “loyal, courteous and effi- cient service and the splendid spirit in which the reduction in wages of Aug. 1, 1921, was accepted.” He says that he understands that the cost of living has increased since then. The workers have never had a union to look out for their interests. Paper Workers in : Demand for Wages Increase or Strike (By The’ Federated Press) NEW YORK, Aug. 25.—The 44-hour week and a 25 percent increase in wages is demanded by the Paper Box Makers Union here as the alternative to a. strike September 15, Morris Wald- man, union organizer, estimates that 150 open shop plants, employing about 4,000 girls, will be shut down unless the bosses yield. Many of the girls receive less than $15 a week. Get a “sub” for the DAILY WORKER. RUSSIA AROUSED BY MURDER OF WORKER CORRESPONDENT WHO EXPOSED LOCAL GRAFT By M. A.

Andrew - Malinovsky, brother of the victim. Many of the criminal elements of Russia, the exploiters, the czarists, etc., when they saw that all is lost for them, began to join the Commun- ist Party in the district where they were not, known, They entrenched themselves with the aid of their friends, and often were elected to re- sponsible positions, especially in the small villages, where there was al- ways a lack of “educated” people. Hence, we have been reading in the press of the cleansing of the party, of “Communist” officials being shot by the Cheka, ete. Communists Terrorized. When Gregory Malinovsky came back. from the Red Army to his small village, Dymovka, he found a gang of criminals intrenched in official posi- tions. They terrorized all opposition and nobody dared to say anything against them. Gregory, who *faced the fire of the enemy on the battlefield, was not scared. He opened an attack at the village meetings and in the press. Soon all Ukraina knew about the small ‘village of Dymovka and its grafters. The first to be attacked was a certain Juravsky. When his Name appeared in the press, he was scared and began to weaken. The rest of the gang did not like it either, and they started to think of a way to get rid of the enemy. At the same time they were afraid that Juravsky may tell on them in case of trouble. As'a result, Juravsky dies suddenly. Malinovsky Remains Firm. Gregory Malinovsky suspected that murder has been committed and with the aid of a few comrades, mostly former Red Army men, intensified his campaign against the grafters. Then, one night, Gregory was found shot to death with an insulting note pinned on to his breast. He was buried and for four months nobody GZARIST PRINCESS JAILED FOR STORE ROBBERY IN FRANCE PARIS, August 25.—Princess Eu- genie Galitzine, 60 years old, wife of Prince Nicolas Galitzine, of the ezarist regime of blood and terror before the Bolshevik revolution, has been sentenced by default to two months’ imprisonment and a fine of 200 francs for stealing from a department store here.

Correspondent, knew anything about this murder. Only one of his comrades did not rest and quietly continued an investi- gation. As a result, the murderers are under arrest. Brother Confesses. The brother, Andrew Malinovsky, confessed to everything. He told how the gang worked on him for months, telling him that his brother was. a bandit, an enemy of the people and an enemy of God, and finally they made him drunk with moonshine and gave him a_ loaded shotgun with which he killed his own brother. The case brought forth a storm of indignation. In many citiés labor cor- respondents held special meetings APPELLINI NOW JOINS WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH Time of Election (Special to Daily Worker.) PLAINS, Pa. Aug. 25.—The “No Work” whistle was blown here last night, while the men were assembled in their local union meeting. ~ This,} because a big celebration was on the calendar for today and the poor min- ers and their money needed to make it a success. With three bands, the church guilds, the local branch of the American Legion, the local mounted and foot police and a large number of automobiles carrying the “better” people, as well as the customary pomp and splendor that accompanies such occasions, the new Polish Catho- lic Church at this place, a $250,000 structure, was dedicated this morn- ing. Capellini Leads. Leading the automobile section of the parade was none other than Ri- naldo Cappellini, the one-time “‘sup- posed” radical and the miners who were used to Hearing him, in the days when he was seeking the presidency of the union in this disetrict, were given a ¢hance to recall the things he would say about the way the churches and the bc\ses controlled the lives of the men, women and children thru the grip they had on the union. Not content with having closed the mines down last Friday and Saturday on account of a religious holiday, they closed the one here again today and) those who have a little to spare, or) those who can pull a little of that | self-denial stuff, are invited to unload | at the new edifice or at the carnival across the street, which is being run/| in conjunction with sare. After the parade and a dedicatory)| mass, at which three Bishops and scores of priests were reported in at- tendance, a big chicken dinner was served to the invited guest8 by the women of the parish. This, however, was not to be disturbed by the com-) and passed resolutions demanding im- mediate investigation by the G. P. U., of all cases of graft, etc, which are appearing in the press, in order to prevent other similar cases. Many newspapers are collecting money for the aid of the victim’s family. Demand Compensation For: Unionist Who Is Deprived of His Work An interesting question arises from the situation that confronts John Sassman, a union butcher. Following an attack of typhoid fever in Janu- ary, the department of health pro- nounced Sassman a typhoid carrier and forbade him to handle meats. Three tests at three Ia made on the initiative of the union, gave positive results, and the union is making no criticism of Dr. Bunde- sen, the health commisisoner. The question which the union raises is whether the state, which deprives a man of work for the benefit of the public health should compensate him. At present Sassman,.his wife, and children are being supported by the union. Hundreds in Clamor for Work at Opening of Tacoma Sawmills (By Federated Press.) TACOMA, Wash. Aug. 25— Fol- lowing an announcement a week in advance of the opening of the Demp- sey sawmill here, there have been hundreds of men applying for work. Despite the rain and the fact that the regular crew was to be re-hired, a mob large enough to man several mills clamored at the office for work. Two other mills opening the same day were similarly besieged, accord- ing to workers.

Rochester Bakers Hot on Trail of Ward Scab Bread (By The Federated Press) ROCHESTER, N.

The local papers had announced that speaking was on the program and many of the miners, formerly supporters of Cappellini, were on the job to hear what he had to say, but their disappointment was a bitter one indeed when they were informed that the speeches were of the after-dinner type and were to be deliverd indoors and, like the dinner, only for the guests. Cappellini’s good friend, Mayor Hart of Wilkes Barre was to be toastmaster, so it can be safely said that nothing in the form of good things for the workers, would be brot on the carpet for discussion. In a Good Car. Cappellini drove a good type sedan which was draped in the national col- ors and at one point in the line of. parade, the auto section was stopped for some reason or other and the ex- radical left his car, going back to the second one to fraternize with the which exploit them? community. Mitchell’s welcome may well be considered as com- ing officially from the financial dynasty because the National City Bank is the dominant bank of the Rockefeller-Standard Oil group and probably the most powerful bank in America. It raises the further question whether money power will extend as warm a welcome if labor banking shows) the way for produc- ers to challenge the right ‘of heredi- tary wealth to control the country. Good For Bosses. Labor banks for the time being, to judge from Mitchell’s statement, fit in well with the plans of the big New York banks. ‘These powerful finan- cial interests welcome labor's new venture as a means to breaking down class lines between workers and own- ers, as a means to spreading the idea that bankers are not parasites, and as a means to mobilizing labor’s monthly wage as a basis for further increase of credit capital available for industrial expansion. “There are certain reagons,” ac- cording to Mitchell, “why we think the labor banks are a good thing for the whole banking business. These are first, because they demonstrate ‘that banking is not a privileged busi- ness but is open to all,’ that it is not parasitic but ‘perform useful func- tions in society.’” No More Class Struggle. Carrying out this idea that labor banking fits in with the desire of cap- ital to develop a greater identity of jinterest between the worker and in- |dustry he says: “We do not think jthat the wage earners should be noth- jing but employes, but that they should plan to share in ownership. The modern form of corporate organ- ization makes it possible for thou- sands of persons to participate in the ownership of an industry, either as bondholders ‘or stockholders, and we believe it will be for the good of the country to have the railroads and larger industries owned in this man- ner, We do not want a sharp line drawn between owners and workers, but rather that the two shall be the same or closely intermingled. The result will be better understanding and more effective co-operation.” To Allay Unrest. Apparently organized money power sees in labor banking at present little more than a new means of eliminat- ing social unrest and gaining the co- operation of labor. For today own- ership of stocks and bonds does not necessarily mean industrial control. It does not challenge the rulership which absentee owners have built up- on huge blocks of stock in the key industries. Probably New York bank- er industrialists feel themselves com- petent to oppose insuperable obsta- cles if labor attempts to use its banks lords of the church who took second place to him in the parade.

MUNICH, Aug. 25.—It seems as tho even the peasants of Germany are in danger of revolting together with the workers. At a meeting of the Bavarian Christian Farmers’ Union, Dr. Schlittenbauer, general secretary and a dirt farmer, called attention to the precarious situation of the peasants and said that not only was there the danger of Com.’ munism looming in the background, but a social revolution in which farmers would join. Taxes afe generally unsatisfac- tory and altogether too high, he said. IM the present policy of the Berlin government continues for an- other 7 or 8 months, the danger will be acute, said the dirt farming doc- tor. si Most of the union members nod- ded their heads when the honorable doctor predicted a farmers’ revolu- tion if taxes kept piling upon the honest sons of the soil. FOUR |. W. W. MAY BE DEPORTED IN FEDERAL HEARING Wobblies Call on Labor to Protest Act By Defense News Service. Four members of the I. W. W. who have served prison terms for their social opinions have been summoned to appear in the federal court here on September 16, when there will be a hearing on warrants calling for their deportation as “undesirable” resi- dents. The four are: Pietro) Nigra, Italian born; Herbert Mahler, Can- adian; Joseph Oates, Englishman; and William Moran, Australian. Four Are Leavenworth Men. All four were convicted in the Chi- cago I. W. W. war-opinion trials in 1918, and all served five years in Leavenworth penitentiary. Many pro- tests gainst their being deported have been sent to President Coolidge and Secretary of Labor Davis by Ameri- cans who believe in carrying out the’ fundamental guarantees of the United States Constitution. In fact, so many protests have reached the federal au- thorities that the-Department of La- bor uses a form-letter as a means of acknowledgement. One point that has been repeatedly emphasized in the multitude of ap- peals for a fair trial is that the de- portation warrants against the four defendents were based upon a law which was not enacted until after they ‘were put into prison. Accord- ingly, the protestants have pointed out, the present act of the immigra- tion authorities is in direct. violation of the clause in the Constitution which stipulates that “no ex post facto (after the fact) laws shall be passed.” Protest Deportation’. All labor unions and individuals who believe in free speech and who have not yet voiced a protest against these threatened, unjustifiable depor- tations are urged by the General De- fense: Committee of Chicago to write at once to President Coolidge or to Secretary of Labor James J. Davis. Those who protest are asked also to send ‘copies of their utterances to ames Morris, secretary of the De- fense Committee, at 1001 West Madi- son Street, Chicago. “| Socialist leaders, JAURES’ MURDER PLANNED BY WAR DEPT. OF FRANCE {Russ Ambassador Gives Game Away (Special to The Dally Worker) PARIS, Aug. 25.—That the murder Jof Jean Jaures, greatest of French on the eve of the outbreak 6f the world war in 1914, was probably carefully planned by persons high in power, is given sup- port by a secret letter from the pen y, the Russian ambasador Russian foreign minis- | | ter dated July 30, 1914. Iswolsky re- ports a conversation with Poincare, | then president of the French republic, at which were also present the French | premier, the minister of war, and the chief of the general staff. “Be Taken Care Of” Iswolsky reports: “I put the ques- tion as to what would be Jaures’ at- titude in the event of war, since in his paper (L’Humanite) he opposed |the program of the government. I |pointed out that he has an influence upon the workers that is not to be underestimated, and is playing with the idea of a general strike, The minister of war replied quietly but firmly, ‘He has been taken care of?” Poincare offered no further explana- tion. It is recalled in this connection that the French nationalists had secretly prepared a list of some 2500 persons who were regarded as dangerous by the government in the event of war. While nobody can prove that the murder of Jaures was sanctioned by the men who conferred with Iswol- sky on July 30, yet it is a significant fact that the Jaures’ niurderer, Vil- lain, was not brought to trial until five years after committing the deed, and that the indicment was so framed that acquittal naturally followed. Pass Act to Drive " Radical Newsies Off Streets of Berkeley BERKELEY, Cal. Aug. 25.— Not content with driving Herman Meyling away from his stand in front of the University of California, where for several years he has tried to sell radi- cal and liberal periodicals to the goose-steping students, the city of Berkeley has passed a special ordin- ance for his express benefit, making it a crime to sell literature on the city streets. Presumably newspapers are not considered literature, as no attempt is made to stop their sale. Meyling has been arrested twice un- der this ordinance, and is now under a@ suspended sentence. He is nearly blind and in very infirm health, not improved by his many jail experi- ences and his several beatings by re actionaries among the students.
