© : * tributed several Friday, September 5, 1924 FOSTER HAS BG MEETING IN ZIEGLER KluxersThreatened But Kept Their Shirts On (Special to the DAILY WORKER) ZIEGLER, Ill., Sept. 4.—One thousand Southern Illinois min- ers from surrounding | coal mines stood in the Park Pavil- ion last night, clapped and cheered the speech of William Z. Foster, presidential candidate of the Workers Party, and con- hundred dol- lars to the Communist cam- paign. Rumors were spread thru town by the Ku Klux Klan yes- terday that they were out to “get” Foster, and a few of them turned up at the meeting. But when they saw the mass of miners and the enthusiasm they displayed for the working class party, the Kluxers quickly turned tail and left the meeting. Fight Fake Leaders “The miners of Southern Illinois are making a great fight not only against the employers, but against the re- actionary officials of the miners’ union who by their class collaboration policies work hand in glove with the coal operators. The miners of South- ern Illinois deserve great credit for the gallant fight they have made and are making against the open shop drive and against the unemployment thrust on them by the system of ex- ploitation” Foster declared. “But of- ficials like Frank Farington who be- tray the miners and propose that the miners produce coal more cheaply, deserve no credit. They leave the field open for the coal operators to inject their campaign for the reduc- Mon of wages into the unemployment prisis.” Would Betray Workers Foster declared La Follette would, elected, betray the working class jt as the Social Democrats sold out the capitalists when the Com- munists of Germany were trying to establish a real workers and farmers government. He declared the degra- dation of the workers, who receive low wages, work long hours, face in- security of their jobs will not cease until the workers take over the go- vernment and establish the dictator- ship of the proletariat; “Which means,” Foster added, “the establish- ment of a workers’ and farmers’ gov- ernment.” Foster's meeting started at five for- «ty-five because the meeting of the lo- eal union of the miners, No. 992, met at seven o'clock. At their meeting tonight the Ziegler miners were to try 16 Ku Klux Klansmen, who were charged with attempting to disrupt the local, with disobeying the wishes of the membership. Miners’ Band Played © - BE. C. Elwood, president of the ‘Trades and Labor assembly, was pres- ent at the meeting, as were all the offi- eiais of local union 992. The band of the Trades Assembly played two Pieces at the opening ofthe meeting. Doze®s of cars were parked outside the pavilion, which had come from Dowell, Christopher, Valier, Herrin, and other surrounding mining camps. This is the first speech Foster has made to a group of miners since the on the International ruptecy of the American Labor move- ment by Foster, and Losovsky’s book on the International Trade union Movement were completely sold out snd the miners were calling for more.

SYOSSET, N. Y., Sept. 4—When the cows were going out his morning for their morning exrcises the Prince of Wales was coming in. The prince did not see the cows, but the cows saw the prince, and, seeing him, they showed a clean pair of heels. His Royal Highness has cut a red streak thru here. Even the cows are afraid of him. Cats climb the trees when they see him coming. Fortu- nately for the animals, the prince is usually so drunk that he sees snakes, and snakes are not agreeable to the touch, They Have Guts. He has not yet been able to scare away the bootleggers and debutantes. Joshua 8. Cosden, oil magnate, sup- plied the prince with fhe necessary in- centive to all-night hilarity. Wine and women were in abundance. The prince may not hold the three R’s in as high esteem as Professor McAn- drew of Chicago, but he puts the two W’s in the essential class. Bedtime Story. When the prince got home this morning, his equerry, A. F. La scelles, issued bulletins on the prince’s progress in wooing Morpheus. After His Royal Highness got between the sheets, and his first half dozen snores were telephoned to the New York Times, Lascelles put the capitalist re- porters to work as traffic cops keeping moving vehicles away from the corner of the house where the prince slept. They were willing to pay for the honor. ’ The prince attended a stag party at Piping Rock. But the stags didn’t show up. They knew the prince by reputation. Philadelphia Picnic.

LA GUARDIA, WAR JINGO WHO OPPOSED SCOTT NEARING, RECEIVES SOCIALIST PARTY ENDORSEMENT The New York Times of August 27 reports the official endorsement of Fiorella CaGuardia as candidate for congress in the Twentieth Congressional District, by the socialist party. This statement is confirmed by the New Leader of August 30, LaGuardia will be remembered by East Side socialists as the war Jingo who enlisted In the Italian Aviation Corps before the United States declared war against Germany.

HERRIN, Ill., Sept. 4.—John Smith, owner of the garage where last Saturday's fatal shooting affray between Klans- men and anti-Klansmen took place, shot and killed Chester Reed with a shotgun, according to the testimony of Mrs. Reed at the inquest conducted by Coroner McGowan in the city hall here today. Reed was in the car with his wife and boy when Smith ap- proached with a shotgun. “Don’t shoot, you'll kill my baby” cried Reed as he held up his hands, But Smith emptied his gun into Reed. During the taking of testimony, pro-Klan witnesses who seemed to have a monopoly on the inquest con- tradicted each other. H. Murphy, for instance, testified that “Bud” Allison ran toward the car in which Denham and other Klans- men were seated and fell back dead. Denham on ‘the other hand testified that no shots were fired from his car. Murphy, an employe of Smith, ad- mitted that he refused to pump up the tire of the Dodge car which Galligan and his men had come over to claim. Other employes admitted they were slow in giving Galligan service. It‘ was admitted that several guns were in the Smith garage. The klans- men explained their presence in the vicinity of Smith's garage at the time by the alleged fact that they were on their way to dinner and met each other by accident. One of the pro-klan witnesses at the inquest was Philip Godfelty, son of Rev. Philip Godfelty who is charged with using the church as arsenal. ae “It’s a shame that these Klansmen keep stirring up trouble right now while the trials are going on at Her- rin and we have all we can do to keep down trouble,” Sheriff Galligan said. “Until the Klan is forgotten there will be no peace in Williamson county. We are going to watch every parade and this masked business is going to stop. We . expected. serious | trouble last night and were prepared to sweep the streets with machine gun fire if a single shot had been fired at us.” Galligan with a dozen heavily arm- ed deputies went to Herrin today to attend the trial of the Shelton broth- ers, Carl and Earl, who are charged with the murder of Caesar Cagle, Ku Klux Klan constable, last Febru- ary. Jess Lashbrook, Harrisburg Ku Klux Klansman, arrested here last night for wearing a mask in a Klan parade, was released today on a $1,000 bond.

That Russia would prove a trouble maker in the League of Nations was MacDonald’s opinion. The league is @ capitalist international, and Russia is the headquarters of the workers’ in- ternational.

MaeDonald never said a word about the interests of the workers. “We have never asked assistance from America, but America has come in loy- ally and given all possible support.’ This was in reference to the entrance of the United States into the world war. MacDonald was credited with opposing the war, but he now praises Morgan & Co. for taking part in the carnage. Heap Big Hokum. In the lobbies the French and Little Entente delegates did not hide their disappointment over what they called MacDonald’s “empty phrases.” A French delegate summed up the views of the French as follows: “The suggestion of disarmament without guarantees and arbitration without sanctions would never be ac- ceptable to France.

KIANGSU ARMY I$ TURNED BACK FROM SHANGHAI Spread ab Ciel War Is Threatened LONDON, Sept. 4.—The Kiangsu army northwest of Shanghai has been defeated after two battles with the| Chekiang army, both sides suffering | heavy losses, according to a dispatch | from Shanghai this afternoon. The Kiangsu forces, numbering 10,- 000, opened an attack against the Che-| kiang troops. The former army was! driven back, but upon receiving rein- | forcements made a counter-attack, ad-| vancing two miles.

BUTCHERS WIN STRIKE GETTING WAGE INCREASE The strike of the kosher butchers of Chicago, Local Union No. 596, that has been on since Labor Day, was won yesterday by the strikers with all their demands granted. The kosher butchers will receive $40 and $46 a week in wages and will not work on any of the legal holidays. Heretofore, only the Hebrew holidays were observed in the kosher meat shops. Local No. 596, of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters’ and Butcher Workmen has a membership of about 150. There are about 400 kosher meat shops in Chicago, but only 100 employ extra help. The entire trade is organized. The strikers were jubilant over GITLOW SPEAKS TO BIG MEETING IN CANONSBURG Steel and Mine Workers Hear Communist The most succesful meeting yet held on the Gitlow speaking tour was at Canonsburg, Pa., on Labor Day. This meeting was highly successful in spite of the fact that the Washington County labor fakirs and poli- ticians had arranged a rival af- fair at Washington, the county seat. The principal speaker at the Washington demonstration was James Maurer, president of the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor. An attempt was made to gét the platform for the Communist vice presi- dential candidate, Benjamin Gitlow, but when the attempt had almost suc- ceeded he was prevented from speak- ing, it was reported, by the personal intervention of Maurer himself. Meeting Well Managed. The r@al meeting and demonstration of Washington county was held at Canonsburg, under the auspices of the Canonsburg Workers Party. The ar- rangements for this big meeting were the most complete and best organized of all those arranged for Comrade Git- low on his eastern tour. Not only were Washington county steel workers and coal miners of Can- onsburg at the meeting, but large del- egations from faraway places like Galloway, W. Va., and McKeesport and | several other large steel cities were present, The chairman was S. Stose, a steel worker. His conduct of the meeting was admirable and deserves the highest praise. A large collection was taken up by a bevy of good-look- ing girls, all members of the Workers Party. Quitting Socialist Leaders. Gitlow spoke for two hours to an audience that gave the closest and most enthusiastic attention. Canons- burg is an old socialist stronghold *in Pennsylvania. Many former socialists were present and expressed them- selves as having followed Eugene V. Debs in the past. But after the en- dorsement of LaFollette by Debs they came out unqualifiedly for Foster and Gitlow and the Workers Party. One of them, a former admirer of James Maurer, said: “Maurer, too, had gone the way of Debs and the labor fakers.” The Workers Party branch at Canonsburg that organized this meeting deserves great credit. The large and interested audience of steel workers and coal miners proves that with an intelligent and well-organized effort, great masses of the workers can be reached. Rank and File Meeting. The *meeting at Canonsburg was a gathering of the rank and file. The affair at Washington was a gathering of the labor fakers, capitalist politi- cians and their hangers-on. The dif- ference in the spirit of the two gather, ings was plainly evidenced. In spite of Maurer’s lip service to “progressivism,” his little audience at Washingtén had no real enthusiasm. For this, audience knew that some of the labor fakers present who said they were “for” LaFollette—several of whom had gone to the democratic con- vention at New York—were in reality “for” no one but hemselves and their own material gain. Gitlow in Fine Fettle. The Canonsburg meeting, on the contrary, was filled with an enthusias- tic and revolutionary spirit. As Git- low’s powerful voice rang out de- nouncing the old parties and LaFol- lette, the audience cheered wildly. Many new members foined the Work- ers Party and subscriptions were their speedy victory. Martin Sabin, |taken for the DAILY WORKER. Al- one of the strikers told the DAILY WORKER, “We were prepared for a big fight. We had our picket line well organized and everything in fine shape, However, we are glad it’s over and we feel we have won a real vic- tory.” together this was a real successful election demonstration for the entire party in this Pennsylvania domain of the steel trust.

Mr, Bernstein explained to the DAILY WORKER that he needed a little more time to go into the matter. It was agreed between the two fac- tions, the side that took out the in- junction and the site against whom the injunction was issued, thru their attorneys, to let the matter rest just as it is until that date, when it will come up for hearing. “They have entered into a gentle- men’s agreemént until that date,” said Mr. Bernstein.

ELECTRIC TRUST PLANS TO LAY OFF THOUSANDS Efficiency System is Good for Company tric company are learning that the speed-up system inaugurated in the Hawthorne plant and exposed by the DAILY WORKER is a scheme to in- out pay. When the heads of the company in stitutéd the “get together” policy and even condescended to address the workers at noon time, everything was painted in rosy colors. But now with winter coming, it is not so pleasant for the thousands of workers who are getting laid off to contemplate facing the cold weather without any visible means of support. One of the discharged employes. of the Western El ic company inform- ed the DAILY RKER that he was laid off indefinitely. Thirty-seven per cent of the tool room employes are slated for the street, and it, is planned to drop 65 per cent from the payroll in the entire plant, The company engineers are advised to work gut plans that will enable the company to maintain the currem year’s standard of production with a reduced ‘for Prince Good For Something.
