LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16.—When an inoffensive child is scalded almost to death by a reactionary mob in San Pedro, the port of Los Angeles, the Police will arrest anyone who pro- tests, even weeks later, but in a time a jury may acquit him. Has “Good Luck.’ This is the good luck of EB. G. Mof- fitt. The raid on the entertainment at the I. W. W. hall took place June 14. The entertainment was a harmless musical affair with pieces spoken by children, all to pay the funeral ex- penses of two members that had met accidental death. The 100 per cent anti-I. W. W. raiders attacked with hatchets, clubs and pfeces of gaspipe, kidnaped known I. W. W. leaders and later whipped, tarred and feathered them and turned them loose naked 25 miles away. Lena Milos, aged 9, was scheduled to take part in a childrens’ dancing act. She and four others, aged from 5 to 12 years, had a boiling coffee urn splashed over them by the mobbers. She has been in a hospital ever sincé. Piano, pictures, typewriters, books and chairs were smashed with the hatch- ets and burned in the street. The police were nowhere in sight. Three weeks later Moffitt andothers spoke at an open air protest meeting against the mobbing and torture of children that had taken place June 14. Cops Turn Up. The police were immediately on the job. Moffitt was arrested for “disturb- ing the peace.” He asked a jury trial and on Aug. 21 was acquitted. The agitation against the mobbing is being pushed by the southern California branch American Civil Liberties Un- ion, 540 Wilcox bldg., Los Angeles. Demand Work, Not Charity. SYDNEY, New South Wales, Sept. 16.—Considerably over 100,000 men in Australia are jobless. Efforts made by the state governments to find work seem to have failed, for as men are placed by the government, private em- ployers are throwing them out. There is much suffering, particularly with those who have families. Relief de- pots have been opened, but the men demand work, not charity. p ina itipiiaiangeaaiiny Subscribe for “Your Daily,” the DAILY WORKER. OUR DAILY PATTERNS A VERY ATTRACTIVE FROCK 4869.

The men were led to believe that itewould start any week. They were put off from week to week and+-. their tools were all in the mine, just where they had left them. GENERAL GLOOM “Finally we lived in hope work CAPTURE Ris’ would be started around Labor Day,” a miner told the DAILY WORKER. All Hope Lost in Lair of Czarist Bandits “Well, sir, today the men were call- PARIS, Sept. 16. — Gloom hangs ed out to the mine to remove their tools, as the mine is going to be seal- ed down for two or three months. Yes, sir, it looked like a funeral pro- cession to see those decent men bringing home their tools after near- ly six months idle time.” Cut Into Profits, Demand. Another miner spoke bitterly of the Herrin conference of coal opera- tors, who are attempting to reduce wag “Dr. Honnald tejls us,” this miner, George Agnew, told the DAI- LY WORKER, “that the remedy for unemployment is with the union. Does Honnald think a reduction in wages would help the miners? Why should not the coal operators take a reduction in profits? Here are some facts I know to be true: The miner gets 87 cents per ton for mining. It costs the operator $1.05 per ton ready to ship; the miners here pay $3.25 per ton and the public pays at least $5.00 for the coal they burn. The coal operators are not so badly off as they tried to make the public be- lieve in Herrin. The remedy is not like a pall today over the recently hep- py headquarters of the Czarist emi- gres who hatched the recent ill-fated rebellion in Georgia, Even the mad- dest of them now admit that success is out of the question. Had British Support. The Georgia rebellion is a complete fizzle. The Czarists panhandlers ad- mit it. According to reports here, much of the support for the rebellion came from British quarters and some from Turkey. The present British prime minister and his chancellor of the exchequer, have been using the bourgeois nationalists of Georgia against the Soviet government since 1917. Even today the League of Na- tions has promised the representatives with the miners, but with the opera- tors. They must take a reduction in profit.” of these Czaristic elements that it will make an effort to secure the independ- ence of Georgia from Soviet Russia. Want Oil Fields. Of course Georgia would not be poli- tically or economically independent for one moment after separating from Russia. The imperialists want her rich oil fields and it is the hope held out by the Czarists in Paris, that these oil fields may yet be taken away’ from Soviet Russia, that induces the capital- ists to put up their good money for the financing of rebellions, The Red army is making short work of the uprising. Inspired cables sent from Riga, Helsingfors, Paris, London and Constantinople.to the capitalist press are not entitled to credence. The information is supplied by the press agents at the Czarist headquart- ers in these cities. A little money to the capitalist correspondents is also convincing. Oil Scabs Receive Protection of Mex. Federal Soldiers MEXICO CITY, Sept. 16—Federal trops are still in Tampico, protecting the private properties of Doheny’s Huasteca Oil Co,, whose workers are on strike, Huaste¢a has been loading its tankers and has kept some of its officials and border police to keep special watch on all persons leav- ing the country, in order to prevent the original manuscript of Livy's “History of Rome” from being smug- gled out of the country. The manuscript was reported re- cently to have been discovered by Professor Di Martino Fusco, who has disappeared, and who has been quot- ed as saying he would sell the manu- script in either England or the Unit- ed States for $1,000,000. The Italian government lays claim to the precious document as an- tiques, the exportation of which is forbidden by law. - Spanish Still Scrapping. MADRID, Sept. 16.—Another buurst of severe fighting between Spanish troops and rebel tribesmen was re- ported from the western end of the Moroccan battle front today. A POPULAR STYLE THE DAILY WORKER BATT'S BATTING AVERAGE IN 6. 0, P, GAME IS SMALL Among the Also-Ran on Coolidge Ticket DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 16.—In the Michigan primaries Dennis E. Batt, one-time revolutionist extraordinary who was runing for State Legislature on the republican party ticket, was so completely snowed under that one would hardly notice him on the bot- tom of the Jist of all the competitors for this political job. Among 64 as- piring republicans, he ran in sixtieth place. Batt had the backing of the Detroit Federation of Labor which was once regarded as among the progressive Central Labor Councils inthe country, but which has now bowed to old man Gompers. Batt represented the Detroit Fed- eration of Labor at the 1921 Congress of the Red Labor Union International in Moscow. At the first convention of the Work- ers Party Batt, then a member of the Proletarian Party, accused the Work- ers Party of being infested by re- formism and opportunism and would have nothing to do with it. He then became. editor of the Detroit Labor News official organ of the Federation and since that time his face has turned more and more red and his actions more and more yellow, until he now finds himself together with the Strikebreaker Coolidge in the re- publican party—but unable to get within hailing distance of office as yet.

VIENNA.—The Roumanian govern- ment has proclaimed an “extraordi- nary situation” in the country. The chief of the army in Bucharest pro- claimed thet all persons agitating against the form of government or for tho overthrow of the government by force and. violence (not copied from the United States) will be punished with from five to ten years’ imprison- ment. The same applies to persons wearing Soviet buttons or other simi- lar marks which prove them to be ene- mies of the government. (There is where the U. S. D. of J. can learn something.) No meetings of more than five people are allowed without the permission of the military. There is semi-mili rule all over the coun- try. Bessarabia, the former Russian seovince which was stolen by Rou- mania with the permission of the al- lies, is turned into a virtual armed camp. The government officials claim that a Communist revolution is being prepared, and therefore all Communist organizations been outlawed. So- cial-democratic organiations are not molested. Over 100 people have been arrested. Tho secret service police claim that they discovered arms and ammunition along the Dniester. It is claimed that in the village of Gorasht! bombs, machine guns and other arms have been discovered. Thirty-two have been arrested here.

Crowe, defeated in the hope of winning back the “labor” vote by sending two mil- lionaires to the gallows for the mur- der of another millionaire, is now turning his attention to the business of preventing commutation of a sen- tence of hanging pronounced upon Bernard Grant, 19, for the murder of Ralph Souders, a Chicago policeman. Grant was convicted on evidence of Walter Krauser, also sentenced to hang for taking part in the same atf- fair. Krauser later declared that evi- dence against Grant was untrue, hav- ing been forced from him by torture at the hands of the police. He said that he had never even seen Grant before he was confronted with him, and ordered to make a statement in- volving the youth as his accomplice, under pain of experiencing greater torture than he had already gone thru. The police, Krauser stated, had been hunting the real criminal a long time and were threatened with loss of their jobs if they failed to bring in someone who could be indicted. Not Son of Rich. In spite of Krauser’s later state- ment, both youths were sentenced to hang. Attorneys for the defense brot. out the fact that Grant is only 19— no older than. Leopold and Loeb—and is the son of a poor laborer, a boy with no schooling. The sentence will be carried out on October 17, unless something unfore- seen happens to save the boys. No Change in U. S-Chile Deal. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—The stat- us of treaties between the United States and Chile will not be changed by the resignation of President Alle- sandri and the assumption of excutive authority by General Altamarino, for- mer minister of the interior, it was learned at the state department today.
