J., Sept. 3.— Following a scorching denun- ciation of the so-called “arbi- trator” of the U. S. department of labor, John A. Moffit, as a tool of the capitalists control- ling the government, H. m™. Wicks, who has been addressing the silk strikers here daily, was subjected to a steady stream of abuse by the local press. Hits Moffit. “Moffit is an appointee of John W. Davis, who is in turn an appointee of the late Presi- dent Harding,” declared Com- rade Wicks. He went on to re- call the recent oil scandal. “Mr. Moffit had rather talk about teapot domes than kerosene lamps.” The Paterson Evening News and the Paterson Press-Guardian, both kept sheets of the textile bosses here. have used up columns of space in an attempt to discredit the Communist speakers in the eyes of the striking mill workers, but to no avail. The Communist speakers are received with great enthusiasm at every strike meeting. Especially vicious in its denuncia- tions has been the Paterson Evening News. In a bitter tirade it referred to H. M. Wicks, of New York, who has been adressing mass meetings at Turn Hall as an undesirable agitator and demanded that Chief Tracey suppress him. The Chief of Police called Wicks into his office for an interview as a result of this publtcity, but as taken no action to stop the mecS™gs as yet. T. U. E. L. Active. Both the Trade Union Educational League-and the Workers Party are active in this strike. A numberof Communists are on the strike com- mittee, some of them taking leading parts, while the mass of workers are decidedly responsive to the militant Way.in. which the Comaiunists carry on their part of the fight. The end of the strike will see the Communists emerge “with tremendous influence among the workers inthis--vicinity. A number of prominent’ speakers are due to address the strike meet- ings in the near future. Benjamin Gitlow, Workers Party Candidate for Vice-President of the United States, and Arturo Giovan Nitti are among those who will be here soon. Juliet Stuart Poyntz, of New York, has addressed the strikers on two oc- casions and Benjamin Lifshitz, of New York, addressed a large meeting of Jewish strikers, both of them re- ceiving enthusiastic ovations from workers. There is also a demand for the DAILY WORKER and all that can be brought here can be handled to good advantage, lzvestia Prohibited jn Bulgaria. MOSCOW.—The office of the official Soviet government publication, Izves- tia, received notification from the Bulgarian postoffice that the circula- tion of the paper is prohibited in Bul- garia, “according to paragraph 12 of the law in defense of the fatherland.” For two years the paper has been cir- culated in that country without the Mnterference of the government. The new Cankoff government is taking measures “to defend the fatherland.” Police Attack Pioneers in Harbin. HARBIN, China.—The Harbin Pio- neers, with the permission of the Chi- nese authorities, have arranged an athletic celebration in which over 500 children participated.

The capitalist gov- ernments that have not yet jrecognized Soviet Russia imme- diately began to sneer at the | treaty. Another important agreement that did not receive much publicity was jarrived at between Comrade Yasikoff, jthe chief of the Russian delegation and Mr. King, the Canadian premier, by which full trading liberty is granted to the Soviet. The substance of the treaties are |hereby given so that the readers of jthe DAILY WORKER may see for \themselves whether there is anything to the treaty or not: The two treaties betwen Great Bri- tain and Northern Ireland and the |Uniom of Soviet Socialist Republics |are described as a “General Treaty” and a “Treaty of Commerce and Navi- gation.” The dormer treaty is regarded as the general treaty contemplated in |the Trade Agreement, and, with the |commercial treaty, replaces that agreement. It enumerates in the first place the treaties with the Tsarist and Provi- sional Governments, which are re- |garded as annulled, or confirmed, or reversed for amendment. | Article 5 deals with the question jot fisheries. Exclusive fishing rights }are reserved to the Russians for three |miles out from the Soviet seaboard. | Thirty-three provisions for the avoid- ance of disputes or conflicts between |fishing boats are annexed. | British Bond Holders. | Upon the question of claims and \loans, the Soviet Government “de- \clares that by way of exception to the decree of January 28, 1918 (concern- jing the annulment of debts of the | former Imperial and Provisional Gov- jernments), it will satisfy, in the con- \ditions prescribed in the present |Treaty, the claims of British holders jot loans issued or taken over or guar- janteed by the former Imperial Rus |sian Government, or by the munici- |Dalities of towns in the territory now jincluded in the Union, payable in for- jeign (non-Russian) currency. “The Government of His Britannic Majesty recognizes that the financial and economic position of the Union renders impracticable the full satis- faction of the claims referred to in the preceding paragraph of this Ar- ticle.” After negotiations between the So- viet and the bondholders, the agree- ment that they reach will be con- tained in an Anglo-Soviet Treaty, pro- vided that the holders of not less than half the bonds are satisfied. Claims Reserved. The following claims between the two Governments are reserved: (a) War loans advanced by the Government of His Britannic Majesty to the former Russian Imperial or Provisional Governments; (b) Gold belonging to the former Russian Imperial or Provisional Gov- ernments, and handed over to the Gov- ernment of His Britanic Majesty by either of those Governments; (c) Russian gold handed over to Germany under the Supplementary Agreement to the Treaty of Brest- Litovak; (a) Sums owed by the former Rus- sian Imperial or Provisional Govern- ments to British Gorenmental Depart- ments, or vice versa; (e) The claims advanced by the ‘Government of the Union on the ground of intervention between No- vember 7, 1917, and March 16, ‘1921. Other claims, not otherwise coy- ered in the Treaty, will be settled by a lump payment from the Soviet to the British Government for distribu- tion by the latter. A committee of three from each side will examine all claims under this head and estab- lish the sum to be paid. A further commission of six wil) examine and ascertain the amount of all British claims for nationalized bus- inesses and land in Russia, A second Treaty is to be concluded containing conditions accepted with regard to the: bondholders, the amount and method of payments for national- ized properties and “an agreed settle- ONLY SOME OF 1, The Liquidation of the Treaty Communist International 4, Nations and Colonies... 5, At Last in Moscow.. 6.

Chicago, Illinois SUBSTANCE OF TREATIES BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND SOVIET RUSSIA Dally Worker) LONDON, Sept. 3.—When is a treaty not a treaty? When }some big capitalist power finds it necessary to sign on the dotted The Associated Press flooded the American papers with dis- patches calculated to prove that the document signed by Ramsay MacDonald and Mr. Arthur Ponsoby for the British government land by Comrades Rakovsvky and Ioffe for the Soviet govern- ment, did not mean a thing in? ment of property claims other than those directly settled by the Govern: ment of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.” Upon the signature of the “Second Treaty” referred to, the British Gov- ernment “will recommend Parliament to enable them to guarantee the in- terest and sinking fund of a loan to be issued” by the Soviet Government. The “no propaganda clause” men- tioned by Mr. Ponsonby takes the form of a promise by both parties: “scrupulously to respect the unodubt- ed right of a state to order its own life within its own jurisdiction in its own way, to refrain and to restrain all persons and organizations under their direct or indirect control, including organizations in receipt of any finan- |cial assistance from them, from any act overt or covert liable in any way whatsoever to endanger the tranquil- ity or prosperity of any part of the territory of the British Empire or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics or intended to embitter the relations of the British Empire or the Union with their neighbors or any other coun- tries.” The commercial treaty follows the usual lines of commercial treaties. Favored Nation. The first Article provides most- favored-nation treatment to goods of the two countries, and extends the facilities of the Exports Credit Scheme to trade between Britain and the Soviet. The second Article provides, in view of the Soviet monopoly of for- eign trade, that: “The Trade Representative and his assistants (members of the Council of the Trade Representation), the number of which shall be determined at a later date, by mutual agreement of both parties, shall be members of the Union Embassy in London, and shall, as such. enjoy all the privileges and immunities appertaining thereto, including extra-territoriality for their offices in the Embassy. For this purpose the existing offices of the Trade Delegation, and such other offices as may form the subject of future agreement shall form part of the Embassy.” It is provided that the Soviet com- mercial activities will, nevertheless, be subject to the laws of Great Brit- ain, tho neither the Government nor its representatives can be called on to give security for complying with the orders of the court. The later clause arrange for exemption from military service and other customary privileges for the members of either nation in the others’ territory. ~ In a final exchange of Notes, the Soviet Government reaffirms its claim to own all ships of the old Russian Navy or mercantile marine seized without the consent of the Soviet government.

Philadelphia Party Began Distribution Of Literature Sept. 1 PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3.—A city- wide house-to-house canvas has been arranged by the City Central Commit- tee for the distribution of the party platform, The distribution will ex- tend over a period often (10) days, during which every party member is expected to do his share. Philadel- phia is still an uncultivated field. By this canvas we will put the party plat- form into the hands of thousands of workers whom we do not reach other- wise. The canvass began on Monday, Sept. 1, and ends on Wednesday, Sept. 10. Every party member is urged to come to the office at 521 York Ave., to get his supply of litera- ture and his directions. A special meeting of the City Cen- tral Committee was held Tuesday, Sept. 2, at 521 York Ave. All dele- gates of branches and members of all subcommittees were present. A joint membership meeting has been called for Thursday, Sept. 4, at the headquarters. Comrade Jakira will report on the campaign to put the party ticket on the ballot. Fur- ther campaign work will be mapped out. Final arrangements for the Fos- ter meeting will be made, All branch secretaries are instructed to write to their members, calling them to joint meetings, Aid White’ Guard Victim. At a meeting of the Chicago group of the Novy Mir correspondents after a report was given about the murder of a Communist village correspondent in Ukraine, a resolution was adopted and $14.50 was collected to aid the family of the murdered comrade.

THE DAILY WORKER AUSTRALIAN NAVY TURNS CATHOLICS INTO METHODISTS Religion a la Mode Is the Slogan By Federated Press. WELLINGTON, New Zealand, Sept. 3. — How religion is made in the navy to suit the peculiar tastes of some folk is instanced by the follow- ing burlesque which took place re- cently on a British battleship lying in New Zealand waters. An invitation was received on the warship to send 50 men to tye Metho- dist church service. demanded an acceptance. So the crew paraded the day before, and the officer in charge of the muster ordered the Methodists to step to the front. Only three responded. Every Even Number The lieutenant was by no means dis- mayed. Fifty Methodists were wan- ted, and 50 would be found. So he re- closed the ranks, and gave the order, “Number off the left; every even number a Methodist.” In that way he got the required number of sturdy fel- lows, who, if not prepared to argue in detail all that John Westley stood for, weré at least ready to behave themselves. All but one. This bluejacket ven- tured, with regulation diffiidence, on a remonstrance. “Please, I’m a Ro- man Catholic.” “No, my man,” re- plied the officer, “you may have been a Catholic yesterday, and today, but tomorrow you are going to be a Methodist, and a damn good Method- ist, too.” In this case there was no such thing as that good old British law—freedom of conscience.

Navy politeness’ Comrades and Fellow Workers of the Needle Trades: In the near future you will be asked to give up your hard-earned dollars in support of the campaign of the middle-class politician, LaFol- lette. You, the workers of the needle trades, whose organization has for twenty years been the proud stand- ard bearer and the champion of true working-class political action. For years you have fought vigorously the capitalist candidates, running either as Republicans and Demo- crats or masking as “reformers” and “progressives” like Bryan, Roosevelt, Hearst and LA FOL- LETTE. Comrades and fellow work- ers! Your leaders have pledged your support without your consent. Refuse to betray the revolutionary traditions of your organization. Refuse to support a capitalist candi- date. Refuse to support LaFollette. Who is La Follette? For what does he stand? La Follette, the un- disputed boss of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, stands for cap- italism. La Follette stands for the system of wage slavery. La Follette supported the imperialist Spanish- American War. La Follette sup- ported the raising of millions of dollars in war bonds which were used to send the workers to the trenches in the World War. Not a word does La Follette say in his platform, about the recognition of Soviet Russia, when even the black- est reactionary governments of Eu- rope have been forced to recognize her, Who is for La Follette? Rudolf Spreckles, the millionaire Sugar King. Frank Vanderlip, millionaire banker and capitalist. W. T. Raw- leigh millionarie drug manufacturer. The small bankers, manufacturers and middle-class business men. Sam Gompers, the arch-reactionary, who favored the restriction of immigra tion and our entrance into the ter rible World War. Morris Hillquit, Abe Cahan, the yellow Socialists; and finally the bureaucratic trade union officials who are seeking po- litical advancement and fame. Let La Follette go to them for support. You, class-conscious workers, have nothing in common with these ene- mies of the working class. Comrades and Fellow Workers: Do not be fooled by “progressive” phrases and promises. You are asked to support La Follette in the hope that this will lead to the forma- tion of a genuine labor party. La Follette is and always has been op- posed to a labor party. Even now he supports capitalist candidates of the Republican and Democratic Par- ties. Gompers is opposed to a la- bor party. So are the middle-class merchants and bankers. Instead nineteen. Altho he began to SOCIALIST PARTY DELEGATE QUITS; JOINS WITH W. P, Ladd Disgusted with Endorsement of Bob The National Office of the Workers Party is in receipt of the following letter from EB. D. Ladd, Elmira, N. Y., who signs himself as a delegate to the recent convention of the Socialist Party held in Cleveland after the C. P. P. P. convention: C. E. Ruthenberg, Executive Secre- tary, Chieago, Ill. Dear Comrade: Find enclosed copy of your former letter. The literature has not been received, There are quite a number of re- volters here from the Cleveland un- ion convention. They agree with me that capitalism makes Socialists and that such deals as we got at Cleve- land makes Communists. There is nothing left for us but the Workers Party. Send mo that literature. We are anxious to get busy. E. D. LADD. Similar expressions of disgust at the betrayal of working clas movement by the Socialist Party at Cleveland are reaching the National Office from other souruces. The Workers Party is ready to welcome to its ranks every class conscious worker who is ready to carry on a class struggle for the establishment of a Workers and Farm- ers Government and the abolition of the capitalist system. It invites those members of the Socialist Party who cannot accept the latest betrayal of the working class movement by that organization to join the Workers Party. Railroad Merger Is In Final Stage As LaFollette Groans NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Following the acceptance of the Pere Marquette railway of the merger plans involving five railroads which were drawn up by the Van Sweringen brothers of Cleve- land, only the approval of the inter- state commerce commission was nec- essary before the merger became an actual fact, The Pere Marquette yes- terday approved the merger, according to an official statement given out by BE. N. Brown, chairman of the rail- road’s board of directors.

Active in Socialist Party. He was born in Elizabeth, N. J., thirty-three years ago. the age of eighteen he joined the socialist party, immediately became active as a speaker and organizer and was a delegate to the New York state convention of the party at the age of Gitlow is from At study law and later tried his hand at business, he very soon became convinced that neither calling was in harmony with his social philosophy, but that his place was in the ranks of the workers. And there he has remained ever since. A Leader in the Labor Movement. | He worked for three years in Bloomingdale’s department store and took a leading part in organizing the Retail Clerks’ Union, of which he was president for two years. Because of his union activities, he was discharg- ed by the Bloomingdale concern, blacklisted by the Merchants’ Associa- tion and trailed by their spies from one job to another. In 1914, Gitlow created a profound impression before the Industrial Relations Commission of which Frank P. Walsh was chair- man, by his testimony on the inner workings of department store manage- ment. Then he became a clothing cutter and joined the Amalgamated Clothing Workers’ Union, Cutters’ Local No. 4, of which he is still a member. Prominent in the Left Wing. He was elected to the New York State Assembly on the Socialist ticket in 1917 and renominated in 1918. Feel- ing that the Socialist Party was fast. losing its revolutionary character, he became an active member of the Left Wing and later was instrumental in organizing the Communist Labor Par- ty. Imprisoned for His Ideas. He was business manager of the “Revolutionary Age,” a Left Wing pub- lication that attained a wide circula- tion. Out of the publication of the Lett Wing Manifesto and Program in this, grew his indictment during the war for “criminal anarchy.” Later he became associated with the “Voice of Labor,” edited by the late John Reed. When Reed left for Soviet Russia, the editing and management of the paper developed upon Gitlow. Gitlow was the first Communist sent to prison in America. «He served for three years and is still under indictment. Ben Gitlow is today a member of the Executive Committee of the Work- ers Party of America and its candi- date for the Vice-Presidency. His rec- ord of consistent seryrce to the inter- ests of the working class, even at the sacrifice of his health and freedom, in- sures him the whole-hearted support of every truly class-conscious worker in the United States.

That party in. THE WORKERS PARTY OF AMERICA, whose candidates are WILLIAM Z. FOSTER for President and BEN GITLOW for Vice-Presi- | dent.
