yo | Tuesday, September 16, 1924 IN DENMARK HITS HIGH TRADE SPOT Soviets Beat U. S. for First Place (Special to Daily Worker.) MOSCOW, Sept. 15.—During its ex- istence of nearly one year in Den- mark, the apparatus of the Soviet Trade Mission has been greatly con- solidated, and today it stands on a firm footing, states Mr. Hoyn, pleni- potentiary representative and trade representative of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics at Copenhagen. This organization, he says, consists of several departments, export, import, transport, financial and special corn- trading. Soviets Take First Place. The first period of the Mission’s work was mainly devoted to a thoro *‘ study of the market and the restora- tion of the former commercial bonds. The Soviet exports consisted’ chiefly of eereals and fodder, the operations in this branch being quite successful: America, Rumania and France were ousted as importing countries. and over 18 million poods of the above- mentioned Soviet produce (mostly oil- cakes) were disposed of in the Danish market. This result considerably sur- passed the original plan. During the same period, the U. S. S. chartered over 50 Danish steam- R. ers and also purchased over three mil- lion roubles’ worth of Danish indus- trial products. The machinery or- dered in Denmark was, for the greater part, for the equipment of dairy, but- ter and vegetable oil industries as well as cement and refrigerating works. Moreover, large deals were made in the Siberian butter import trade in Denmark and the purchase of Danish tractors. It may thus be safely advanced that on the whole Soviet-Danish trade has progressed fairly rapidly during this last year or so, and the business bonds have been conisderably strengthened between the official and public Danish circles and—thru the Soviet Trade Mission—the state and co-operative economic organization of the Union of Soviet Republics.

The idiosyncrasy of the American diplomacy has up till now been forcing and still forces it today to act foolish- ly and incorrectly vis-a-vis the govern- ment of the Union. In. this respect American diplomacy differs widely from the American people which is endowed with common sense favor- ably distinguishing them even from other nations. As for American di- plomacy, it is so afraid and has such a hatred of the Soviet Union that in an official document presented to the Soviet répresentative it cannot refrain from discourteous formula. Absolutely No Use. It would be an ungrateful task to teach good manners and politeness to the representatives of the present American government, it being, how- ever, not so much a question of polite- fess or courtesy as one of bitter hatred which some of the elements now ruling in America feel towards the Soviet government. No wonder that in China the American diplomacy is particularly sensitive with regard to the Soviet Union, for it is here in China that America has more strongly and acutely than other Power felt the blow which was dealt to her policy by the sincere and straight-forward po- licy of the Soviet government. In- deed the hypocrisy and christian bi- gotry in which the Americans en- veloped their policy in China, have now been fully exposed in the eyes of the Chinese people. Much lustre has been taken off from good words about the respect for and the rights of the Chinese people since the Lin- cheng Note, the threatening speeches of the American Minister at Harbin, and the appearance*and arbitrary ac- tion of American warships in Chinese home waters. How’s This For Answer? Of course the Americans who have made Mr. Yoshizawa write the note which was returned to-day, could be told: You do not wish to recognize the regime existing in the Soviet Union? Well, you may be at ease: the Soviet Government does not at all intend compelling you. to do it. And they could also be told that the Amer- ican people will force them be recog- nize the Government of the Union without any reservations. Then the present rulers of America could also be told that the day relations will be restored between America and the Union it will not in any way mean that the Government of the Union will have to recognize the regime which at present holds away in Ainerica—if of course this regime will still be exist- ing at the time. The regime of vi- olence in China, the infringement of the sovereignty of the Chinese people; the regime of the strangling of the Philippines; the regime of the most unashamed interference with the af- fairs of the American Republics; the regime which has made of a Negro a dog-whom anyone may safely kill; the regime, lastly, which but quite recently has revealed itself in an un- utterably monstrous form of corrup- tion, decay, pillaging of state property —in which all take part, whether senators, ministers or judges; a reg- ime under which the President has had to use many an effort and much time to find an honest judge to in- vestigate the oil scandal, for every judge on whom his choice fell hap- pened himself to be involved in the scandal and the robbing of state pro- perty. Recognition Coming Soon It is to be hoped at least that the American Minister does not mean to say that the Powers which recognize the Washington Government have also recognized all the above enumerated brilliant aspects of the American reg- ime, And we certainly “hope that when we are going to resume rela- tions with the American government the later is not going to insist upon the recognition of this regime on our part too, We have no doubt as to the fact that the best part of the Ameri- can people, that is its huge majority, are against the policy of the present American government with regard to the Soviet Union, nor do we have any doubts that today's rulers of America know that their days are numbered, and that those who will come in thei: place will—whoever they may be— either by compulsion or of their own free will correct the mistakes made with regard to the Soviet Union, and would we express the hope, not only in regard to the Soviet Union, but also to other peoples, and in particular _ doin the Workers Party! LOGALCALLS FOR | CLOSER UNITY IN AMALGAMATED Demand Wage Slices for Over-Paid Officials (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—Calling upon the officials of the Amalgamatéd Clothing Workers to take various} steps towards solidifying the strength | of the union, local 54, of the A. C. W. of A. at its last meeting passed the} following resolution: Whereas, in the capitalist sys- | tem the employers have a united | front against the working class in order to oppress and exploit the workers; and ‘Whereas, it is very easy for them to accomplish their purpose when the workers are divided among various crafts and are very often fighting each other; and Whereas, such a division also ex- ists in the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, which hinders the progress of the union, and Whereas, various boards and their officials spend an enormous amount of money of our organiza- tion needlessly, and Whereas, the financial situation of the New York organization, espec- ially, is in very bad shape, there- fore, be it resolved that we demand 1—That necessary steps should be taken immediately for uniting all the New York Joint Boards into one Joint Board. 2—That the Joint Boards, Board of Directors and the General Office, do everything in their power to im- médiately accomplish such a unity. 3—That business agents be di- vided according to the various dis- tricts, 4—That the number of employees of the Joint Board should be re- duced, and ° 5—That the wages of each of the employees of the Joint Board, Busi- ness Agents, Clerks, Managers and their assistants be reduced by $10.00 weekly.

LOS ANGELES, (al., Sept. 15.— Workers in the men’s clothing indus- try in this city are preparing for a large-scale organization campaign to completely unionize the industry. Lo- cal 278 of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, have been car- rying on a stubborn struggle against the efforts of the employers to break the union by discriminations, and by flooding the market with unorganih- ed and unemployed. They have finally succeeded in obtaining the assistance of the national organization, which is sending Frank Rosenblum to Los Angeles for the contemplated organ- ization drive. Altho it is well-known that the left wing militants are among the fore- most fighters for the organization of the Los Angeles market, and that Ro- senblum, general organizer and execu- tive board member of the A. C. W. of A., is one of the conservative right wingers, yet the entire organization in Los Angeles is determined that this organization drive shall not be inter-! rupted by, any efforts at shoving the | left wing workers out of the most active participation in the work. The whole-hearted co-operation that is be- ing offered Rosenblum in the drive by all elements, it is felt, should result in making the drive a great success. & ilie. Judge Is Wisdom Itself.

This was the ruling of Judge by consumer) has REPUBLICANS URGE BUYING COAL TO MAKE MINERS THINK THAT ALL IS PROSPERITY AND CAL IS 0. K. By LELAND OLDS (Federated Press Industrial Editor) “For Gawd’s sake, buy some coal and give those darned union miners some temporary work until after election,” appears to be the word passed out to the big industries by the republican national committee, to judge from the report of Paul Wooton, Washington correspondent of Coal Age. Wooton says both old parties fear that unless employment can be increased in the union fields many coal miners will fail to vote the old party tickets. the republicans are giving the+ i big industrialists a tip to_in- crease Coolidge’s chances of success by buying coal for stor- age at this time. How About Wage Cut? When the party politicians first tackled this problem, says Wooton, they figured the way to get the union mines started was to secure a reduc- tion in the union scale sufficient to compete with the nonunion fields. When told that this would not in- crease employment because a cut in wages would result in a correspond- ing cut in the nonunion fields they turned to the idea that early buying of coal would help the party and could be advocated as good business. It is even insinuated, according to Wooton, that Hoover's recent state- ment urging the buying of coal to avoid congestion later was not entirely the unbiased advice of a nonpartisan secretary of commerce. Buying Bargain Mines. In an earlier article Wooten called attention to the rate at which the stronger coal companies, public utili- ties and manufacturing interests are quietly buying up high-cost mines at bargain prices. This silent annexation is likely to prove as important a part of the consolidation movement in the industry as the actual mergers which get into the papers. “It is known,” says Wooton, “that the number of captive mines (owned increased greatly. The aggregate of their output is thot to be approaching 200,000,000 tons, more than one-third of the annual pro- duction. Before the end of the year it is predicted enough mines will have been acquired in this manner to give a new degree of stability to the en- tire bituminous industry. Normal re- quirements will be furnished by the low cost mines. The less efficient mines will be held in reserve to be called into production to supply peak periods of demand.” Foster’s Pamphlet On Russia in 1924 Issued by T. U. E. L. Russia in 1924, Wm. Z. Foster’s ac- count of his recent visit to Russia, is being issued as a 10c pamphlet by the Trade Union Educational League, 1113 W. Washington Blvd., Chicago, “Living conditions are still difficult.” Foster says in his summary of the Rupssian situation, “but the important fact is that they are a tremendous im- provement over the frightful condi- tions which prevailed a few years ago. It is this improvement which shows the progress of the Russian revolution to success and which encourages the workers to still greater efforts. Bad off as the workers still are, all they have to do is to think back to the ‘civil war, famine, plague and starva- tion that marked the early stages of their death struggles with capitalism, and then their present evils seem light in comparison. The Russian revolu- tion unquestionably still has many great battles to fight. But the revolu- tion will live and as it establishes and fortifies.itself, it will be an ever great- er stimulus and inspiration for the international working class.” Beauty Workers’ Union Formed. NEW YORK, Sept. 15—A mover ment to organize a union for mani- curists and hair dressers was started today when five men and women working in beauty parlors applied to Supreme Court Justice Donohue for incorporation papers under the name of the Independent Beauty Parlor Workers of New York, Inc. The peti- tioners stated that they intended to admit manicurists, hair weavers, and hair dressers to membership. Later Lindley who heard the case. Vote Communist This Time!

So ; This TEXTILE UNION BEGINS WAGE CUT FIGHT IN MASS, Nothing Doing on Wage Cut Is Message to Mills NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—Officials of the United Textile Workers’ Union say the resolution their convention has just adopted against the accept- ance of wage cuts puts the issue up to those employers who have declared for reductions. The first battle front looming on the horizon is in the mills of the Manville-Jenckes company, a $37,000,000 corporation that extends from Rhode Island to North Carolina. Over 800,000 to Quit. The Manville-Jenckes firm controls almost 700,000 spindles of the 3,500,- 000 under power in the United States. The more than 818,000 workers in the company received word that there would be a wage cut of 5 per cent while they were at their looms. It is the opinion of the officials of the Textile Workers’ Union that the move for reduction in wages will most likely be followed by many hundreds of other large plants in New England. fight against the cut while centered in the Manville-Jenckes com- pany must be fought for the entire tex- tile industry. Mill Workers Behind Fight. Thomas F. McMahon, president of the union, says an organization cam- paign is now being conducted in the company’s plants at Woonsocket, R. L, inthe Globe, Social and Nourse mills; at Pawtucket, in Tamarack mills Nos. 1 and 2 and in the Jenckes Annex mill; in the Manville mill at Manville and in the mills at Gastonia, North Carolina.

AMBASSADOR OF SOVIET TO CHINA IN REPLY TO JAP Karakhan Hits Back at U. S. Position (Rosta News.) PEKING.—The following note hay- ing been handed by the Japanese Min- ister, Mr. Yoshizawa, to Mr. Karakhan, under date of August 10, 1924: “Mr, Ambassador: “With reference to mynoteofeven date on the subject of the Russian Legation, I have the honor to inform Your Excellency that I am desired by my American Colleague to notify you that his action in acquiescing in the understanding embodied in the note above referred to in no wise constitutes or implies recognition on.. the part of the government of the United States of the regime known as the Union of Socialist Soviet Re- publics, “I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your Excellency, Mr. Ambassador, the assurance of my highest consideration. (Signed) K. Yoshizawa.” —the Soviet ambassador forwarded his reply as follows: “August 19, 1924, “Mr. Minister: “I have the honor to inform Your Excellency that I do not consider possible to acept the note under date of August 18, 1924, which you presented me at the request of the American Minister. “I really regret very much that you could not decline this American commission at a time when Japan is herself engaged in negotiations whose object is to restore normal re- lations between the government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Repub- lics and the government of Japan. I hope, however, ‘that if and when the Union of Soviet Socialist Repub- lics recognizes the government of Japan, while Japan recognizes the government of the Union—this will not be interpreted in the sense that the government of the Union will have recognized the bourgeois capi- talistic regime of Japan, nor will it be taken to mean the recognition by Japan of the socialist regime of the dictatorship of the proletariat. I may likewise express the hope that you have no doubt as to the fact that the negotiations we are carry- ing on with you at present are being conducted not between two re- gimes, but_between the governments of the Union of Soviet Socialist Re- publics and of Japan. This under- standing may make it easier for your Excellency, as it seems to me, to ex- plain to your American Colleague the limits of courtesy beyond which his fear might lead him. “It should also be added for the information of Your Excellency’s American Colleague and, for that matter, of your other Colleagues who may not have had time yet, like the American Minister, to formulate their anxiety, that there does not ex- ist in international law and practice a method of -restoration of diplo- matic relations between the go governments by way of returning to one of them a legation belonging to the latter government and situ- ated in the capital of a third power A LAUGH FOR THE CHILDREN by the other of those two govern- ments, which but accidentally and without the consent of the real own- er has in its hands the keys from the buildings of such a legation. “Herewith I beg to return the above-mentioned note of August 18, 1924, “I avail of this opportunity to re- new to You, Mr. Minister, the as- surances of my highest considera- tion, (Signed) L.
