HY | » requirements? " grho have property, are likely to stay _ WP. PETITIONS Foster Sopular Among the Toilers By EX-COLLEGE STUDENT. * @ne hour every day, for the six Months I spent in capitalist universi- les, I sat with a group in “political ce,” discussing the matter of vot- requirements. ¢ Learnedly, philosophically, in the lost approved college manner, we sit tossing back and forth, back forth, the empty axioms, the pre- jrous conclusions—based, all of on the tremendous sophistry of jocratic government.” Wise Nonsense. “We discussed the matter of resi- e6 requirements. “Is it justifiable mere tramps, who er?” “What is the fundamental lea back of the literacy tests, of the jon laws?” All these things id many others we talked of—never mee questioning the system of which ese things were but the painfully ignificant details. I recalled that course in “political eience” last Thursday evening. I had m ordered out by the South Side ranch of the party to gather signa- es for the Communist nomination titions. Within half an hour I un- erstood, as I had never understood fore, the reasons for all the hun- is of petty regulations that hem in © Prospective voter. Little Technicalities. For in the working-class district, J id not obtain the signatures of more an half of the people to whom I pplied. ‘Yet all these people were endously enthusiastic over the rogram and the candidates which the orkers Party had to offer. An eager workman would pick up pencil to help nominate William Z. Foster. Then it would be discov- red that he had lived in the district sixty days—thirty days short of e ninety which the requires. But iqhet is the residence requirement Reset another form of the property The middle classes put both physically and politically. The tramps who move all over the country, it has been found, often gath- er new and strange ideas. Suppose they were to bring them to the polls? He Gets Pumped. MORE of the people who were will- ing, but unable, to sign the petitions, were disabled for one of two reasons. A great many of them were not citi- zens. Remember that seven long years must pass before an immigrant can become a citizen—seven years during which he is pumped full of propaganda in favor of the existing capitalist system. For immigrants of- ten have queer notions, too—and they may acquire still queerer notions dur- ing the days when they are starving and freezing in their effort to adjust themselves to this strange industrial system. Choice of Evils. Then there were many workingmen who last year, in the absence of a real working-class candidate for whom to vote, did the best they could —or thought they were doing the best they could—in voting for the capital- ist party they assumed to be least oppressive. mt a worker who found that he ould sign the petitions, after all the eepoesible and impossible reasons why “he should not be allowed te sign had ) been eliminated, did it with hearty enthusiasm. There was, for instance, the case of the man who was apathe- “tic until I spoke of William Z. Foster. He had heard of Foster during the steel strike. “He’s the greatest man in the country!” was the verdict. And he wanted to sign his father’s name too, for his father was out of town. I managed to stop him, after promising “under oath to return with the petition in a week. f Foster His Choice. Of course there were humorous phases of the thing, too. There was the enthusiastic workingman who signed, then rushed out of the house to get his son, Mickey, who was “down by the corner grocery,” so that he could sign too. And Mickey went to get Grandma, who was out in the back yard talking to a neighbor. And so on, There was the house in which a neighborhood party was go- ing on, and in which I had to form the group into line in the front par- lor, and make them sign in orderly fashion, first one petition, then the other. And of course there were women who couldn't seem to see that their signature was as good as their hus- bands! And there were the work- ingmen who were disgusted with mod- ern politics, and.to whom I had to ex- plain that the Workers Party, too, ‘was disgusted with modern polities, and that was the very reason why the Workers Party was going into mod- ern politics. ‘When I came to balance accounts, I found that in spite of the legalisms and technicalities with which the laws had tried to hinder me, I had in an hour gotten twenty-seven signa- tures, and had encountered only three refusals for other than technical rea- ~ THE DAILY WORKER ee NN Six Days More!

The case is a complicated one, but it is quite obvious that both the coal company and the officials of District 1, United Mine Workers of America, are satisfied with the results. Attack Polish Miner. First there is a case of assault and battery perpetrated by two petty bosses at the Woodward collery, be- longing to the Glen Alden, the victim being a Polish miner. To clear them- selves of this grave offense, the bosses had the Polish miner sued for an al- leged attack on them but when the grievance committee at the colliery interceded in behalf of their fellow miner, it was soon apparent that a trick was being played. The case was handled by the of- ficials of the district, and a settlement was made that the miner be paid at the rate of $8 per day for all the time he lost. Nothing has yet been paid, however, altho it is quite some time since the miner was assaulted in the mine. That brought into play a move on the part of the company to rid itself of the presence of Stanley Edmunds, then president of the local union at- tached to. the mine. Edmunds was very popular as the president of the local but he had become tired of the |inactivity of Cappellini and, altho like many other local union officers in District 1, he had helped to elect Cap- pellini, he was now listed as an enemy and had to be dealt with. Edmunds was elected by the miners as docking boss, but the company re- fused to let him serve in that capacity. This and a number of other reasons were seized as legitimate reason for a strike and one was called. Cappellini Knifes Friend. The Cappellini saw his chance to knife his one time friend, not so much because he was not now a friend, but because, it is said, Edmunds was be- ing prominently mentioned as a pos- sible opponent at the next election for president of District 1. The charter was revoked “a la Lewis” and after considerable controversy it was re- stored, with the understanding that Edmunds and the two local union secretaries could not hold office for a year. A speceial meeting to elect officers was called by the district officials and when the smoke of battle blew away, the district was given an ignominous defeat and Edmunds’ slate of friends were elected by almost unanimous vote. It was generally thought that the company would open the mine after the election, but instead of that, they laid off the maintenance men in flag- rant violation of the agreement. The men in the local union immediately raised the argument that this was a violation of contract and Cappellini agreed. There was talk of striking all the mines of Glen Alden, but there is no prospect of such a: thing hap- pening, altho the maintenance men are still out, There is not a person to be found who knows anything of the trouble, that is not willing to say that it is a lockout by the company and in vio- lation of the agreement. The company changes the word te shutdown, and COAL MINE BARONS SHOOT THEIR “SACRED CONTRACT” TO PIECES; WORKERS ARE VICTIMS AS USUAL By THOMAS MYERSCOUGH. (Special to The Dally Worker) SCRANTON, Pa., Sept. 10.—The Glen Alden Coal Company, a giant subsidiary of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Reading Railroad, with extensive operations in the anthracite regions is at the present time showing the kind of regard it has for the contract between themselves and the United Mine And, altho approximately 1,500 miners are unemployed as a result of the coal company’s+ WHITE GUARD PLOTTERS LOSE THEIR HEADS IN CIVIL WAR ATTEMPT MOSCOW, Sept. 10.—Twenty-four Georgian White Guard—anti-Soviet forces have been executed for their part in the anti-Red uprising ac- cording to Batoum advises today.

With this piece of nonsense Cap- pellini evidently agrees, for to date nothing has been done towards car- ing for the interests of the men thus locked out. The other mines of the Glen Alden are working every day, while miners from the Woodward, who seek elsewhere for work, are told that no Woodward men will be hired. A conspiracy is on foot to punish every man who supported the Edmunds faction by the weapon of starvation. Subscribe for “Your Daily,” the DAILY WORKER. RHODE ISLANDERS TO HEAR GITLOW SEPTEMBER 15TH een (Special to The DAILY WORKER.) PROVIDENCE, R. L, Sept. 10.—Ben- jamin Gitlow, vice-presidential candi- date of the Workers Party, will speak at a mass meeting in the A. C. A. Hall (Springer Square), 1753 West- minster St., on Monday, Sept. 15, at 7:30 p. m., according to an announce- ment of the local campaign manager, Dr. J. P. Reid. This will probably be the’ only Providence meeting at which Comrade Gitlow will speak and preparations are being made to make it a tremend- ous success. To Deal With Coming War. Gitlow is a powerful speaker and he will give the Providence workers an opportunity to hear a Communist denunciation of the “Teapot Dome” government, labor injunctions, the open shop-, strike-breaking presidents, unemployment and the coming war. Behind him he has a record of ser- vice to the workers of this country in the labor movement, and more par- ticularly in the Communist movement. The workers of Providence are invit- ed and urged to be present at the meeting and to bring along their wives, All communications should be sent to Dr. Reid, 20 Olneyville Square, Runs on Donkey Ticket.

(Special to The Daily Worker) CHESTER, Pa., Sept. 10.—An in- teresting free speech fight is now taking place in this city of the open shoppers and Ku Klux Klan. The Workers Party recently héTd an open air election campaign meeting which attracted an audience of several hun- dred workers, it was the biggest and most interesting political gathering ever held in Chester. Find Attentive Listeners. For two hours the audience at- tentively listened to the explana- tion of the Workers Party platform given by the speakers. A Klanite was right there trying to advertise a picnic arranged by his hooded order. He did not like the speeches very well and made an attempt to-interfere. He was told politely by those closest to him to shut up or else leave the place al- together, which he did. The local comrades were surprised, however, to find out that an appli- cation for a permit to hold another campaign meeting was flatly turned down by the mayor on the grounds that “the speeches made at the first meeting were of a seditious char- acter.” The Chester workers now have the best opportunity to see for themselves that the Workers Party speakers were right when they pointed out that the American democracy is really an iron dictatorship of the ruling class. Seek Party Recruits. The matter is now in the hands of a well-known attorney who will take legal action against the mayor if he does not change his mind about al- lowing the Workers Party to come be- fore the workers of Chester in ordet to explain the present campaign is- sues. The Chester Local of the Workers Party appeals to all workers of the city to answer the mayor’s action by joining the Party and help carry on the fight for the establishment of a workers’ and farmers’ government in this country The address of the local headquarters is—731 Caldwell St. eae ee Chester, Pa., Plans Picnic. CHESTER, Pa., Sept. 10.—Extensive preparations are being made for the picnic arranged by Chester Local Workers Party for the coming Sun- day, Sept. 14, at Brown's Farm, Ninth and Central Ave. A good time and plenty of fresh air is assured.

RAMSAY IGNORES WAR CAUSES By LELAND OLDS. (Federated Press Industrial Editor) “Go on talking, Ramsay, we like to hear you,” must have been the comment of the world’s steel kings after hearing. the words with which Prime Minister MacDonald, of Great Britain, opened the league of nations’ debate on security and disarma- ment in Geneva Sept. 4. MacDonald’s speech, which was stren- uously applauded, completely disregarded the economic features of modern industrialism which make periodic wars inevitable. “I am for arbitration, I see nothing else in the world,” he said, describing arbitration as a+ system of watching for war clouds to appear and charming them out of existence before Have Some Prosperity they became threatening. War Clouds Gather. Meanwhile the clouds which threaten war are gathering about the approaching trade negotiations be- tween France and Germany. England is jealously fearing that too friendly an agreement would injure British markets or result in a powerful rival steel combine on the continent. E. L. James in the New York Times de- clares, “It has long been said by ex- perts that an efficient business union of the French ore and German coal in- terests would make possible the world’s greatest steel combination, England has never looked with favor on that project.” French Talk Differently. The big French steel interests talk a different ‘Yanguage. According to Robert Pinot, director Comite des Forges, interviewed by the Wall Street Journal: “There can be no real peace as long as economic warfare continues. The ideal solution would be a world iron and steel settlement which would secure to the industry in each country the necessary raw ma- terial, apportion markets and deter- mine prices. Such a world combine would satisfy the interests of both French and German iron and steel in- dustries. It would determine the division of European markets and ap- portion shares in foreign ones.” Pinot believes a Franco-German treaty be- tween steelmakers should parallel the Dawes settlement. It is reported that England might use France’s financial obligations to her as a club to prevent too close an agreement along the line ‘suggested by Pinot. British coal miners are said to be protesting against the further delivery of German coal to France under the Dawes plan on the ground that the English coal industry suf- fers, Belgian miners are out of work and facing a severe wage cut because of the competition of German repara- tions coal. Shows War Basis. Walter Graham, a consulting engi- neer, prepared a table for the New the special, radio | N York Times which showed the causes of future wars. It showed the princi- pal coal fields of the world located in the United States, Great Britain, Ger- many and eastern Asia with such countries at France, Belgium, Italy and Japan watching them with en- vious eyes. It showed the United Statés in need of the iron ore of New- foundland, Cuba, Brazil and Chile; the German steel interests eager to grasp the iron ore of Russia, France, Austria and Hungary, and the ore of China and Siberia desired by Japan. It showed the chief petroleum re- serves of the world located in Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Argentine, Bo- livia, Russia, Mesopotamia, Persia and other parts of Asia, coveted by the oil interests of the United States, Germany and Great Britain. \ The next war, says Graham, lurks in coal, iron and petroleum because the industrial nations will have these at all costs. That is probably why they are not mentioned out loud at the league of nations’ assembly in Geneva.

R. Southern Pacific Hounds Young Radicals (By The Federated Press) REDDING, Cal. Sept. 10—Once more the persecution’ of the d’Autre- mont brothers is under way, and a re- newed attempt is being made to prose- cute California’s Sacco-Vanzetti case, | The Federated Press told last au- ;tumn of the railroad hold-up in south- ern Oregon in which four trainmen were killed, and of the effert to fas- jten the crime, without any evidence against them, on three brothers, Roy and Ray (twins) and Hugh d'Autre- mont. The only apparent reason for con- necting the boys with the hold-up is the fact that they have been known as I, W. W. organizers, and that one of the twins was in prison during the war as a draft evader. They were on a camping trip when the hold-up oc curred, and have been missing since, Their father has always claimed that the real murderers made away with them, and there is a good deal of evi- dence to that effect. Hugh Now Dead. A few months ago a body found in a river was identified as that of Hugh. In spite of this, the woods near Redding are now being scourea for the three, on the report that they had been seen; and they are described by the brass check press as “despara- does” and as having committed the crime with which they have never been formally charged. The attack on the d’Autremonts has been prose- cuted by the Southern Pacific rail- road, with the assistance of other railroads. Notices announcing a $4,800 award for their capture were temoved from railway and ferry sta- tions after Hugh d’Autremont’s body was found, but have recently been posted again.
