Thursday, September 18, 1924 RUSS MINISTER TO CHINA ACTS THRU AMERICAN Asks Schurman to Hand Over Czar’s Embassy Note: In view of China’s recent treaty with the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, a slight difficulty arose over the transference of the old’ czarist diplomatic quarters to the Soviet government. Altho the United States does not officially recognize the worker's’ republic, it was with the dean of the diplomatic corps, Mr. Jacob Gould Schurman, American minister to China, that Leo Karakhan, addressed the mes- sage printed below. The embassy quarters were finally turned over, but Mr. Charles E. Hughes simply will not recognize Soviet Russia!— Editor. $j, eee eS (By Rosta.)

Igoe puts Crowe down as a glumbell who can’t keep the petted gunmen of Cook County from .using the people.as targets during gun prac- tice. Crowe shoots back: “Mr. Igoe ought to be expert at crime figures. He is legal representative for boot- Jeggers, rum runners and vice lords.

Of course Sir Robert did not even insinuate wrong doing on the The view ‘among the political lackeys of capitalism, is that Ramsay’s conduct was perfectly proper and in good taste.

If the other “friends” of MacDonald’s boy- hood days are as generous as Sir Grant, MacDonald will have nothing to worry about even if he has to quit Downing Street. before Christmas. He can pay a visit to Albert B. Fall, Robert P.

ANG OVATION A BOSTON MEETING LaFollette, Like Cal and Davis, for Bosses’ Rule (Special to The DAILY WORKER.) BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 17.—The largest Workers. Party. mass meeting ever held here gave Benjamin Gitlow, Communist candidate for vice-presi- dent, a great ovation in. the Scenic Auditorium, when he denounced La- Follette as an upholder of the capital- ist system equally with the two old parties of Wall ‘Street. Several hun- dred dollars was contributed to the campaign fund by an enthusiastic au- dience. “LaFollette himself stated on Labor Day, that he ‘represents legitimate business and legitimate profits,” Git- low declared. “That is why Frank Vanderlip, the millionaire banker and Rudolph Spreckles, the millionaire sugar king, support LaFollette. They know that LaFollette stands for the profit system. “If LaFollette is elected he will do what the so-called progressive Ramsey MacDonald is doing now in England and the renegade progressive Herriot is doing in France. Like these two betrayers of the working class, he will support the capitalist system against the interests of the workers.” LaFollette Tool of Bosses. Gitlow told how the historic role of MacDonald has been to come to the aid of the capitalists and large em ployers when they most need it. He declared that in times of crisis, the middle class progressives, such as MacDonald and LaFollette are the best tool of the capitalist, for under the cloak of such terms as “progres- sive,” and “democratic,” they fool the workers a little longer and prolong the dictatorship of the capitalist class. Gitlow’s attack on imperialism and capitalist war was loudly applauded. Foster's running mate denounced the recent Mobilization Day as an at- tempt of American capital to militar- ize the country, establish the goose step in America, and prepare the workers of this ountry to soon sacri- fice their lives in another foreign war, which the capitalists are trying to bring on to capture foreign markets and retard the growing influence of the Communists. Workers Party for Rule of Workers. “The Workers Partyis.a part of the Communist International,” Gitlow declared. “The Communist Interna- tional will turn the next world war in- to a revolution which will forever abolish the rule of capitalism all over the world, and establish the workers in power as they are in Russia today. “A big crisis is fast approaching,” Gitlow continued. “Capitalism in the United States is leading-the workers into an industrial depression with an army of seven or-eight- million unem- ployed workers and into.a.destructive’ and terrible slaughter to protect the interests of the Morgans and Rocke- tellers. The only solution to the prob- lems of the workers is the overthrow of the capitalist system which is run for the profit of the few, and the sub- stitution by the organized workers of their own rule, which shall run indus- tries for use and service and not for profit.” “The meeting ended with the sing: ing of the International and. cheers for Communiam. Many _ outsiders were present. Harry Canter was chairman of the meeting. ~~~ A Long Wait for Jobs. GLOBE, Ariz., Sept. 17,~Although actual work on the San Carlos dam will not begin for eighteen months or longer, more than a dozen families have already squatted at the dam site, waiting for work to begin that they may be the first on the ground and have the preference M securing em- ployment, According to reports the families are very poor and only a few days at most removed from starvation, "aspirations is @ different matter, t BOSS PUT BEHIND | BARS FOR TAKING SLAM AT STRIKER Shoe Workers Standing Firm for Demands NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—The strik- ers of the Comfort Sandal Mfg. Co., of Long Island City,.N. Y., are. making a grand fight to win their strike which they have been waging for the last five weeks, thru the efforts of the Shoe Workers’ Protective Union, These men mostly foreign born are determined to win in spite of the fact \that the bosses are hiring strike- breakers and have the assistance: of the police. Many times the police have used methods of intimidation hoping to destroy the spirit of these workers. The sandal shoe industry until re cently has been passing thru a slack period and now the boss is getting desperate, orders are piling up and scabs are limited. It bécomes neces. sary for the boss to use personal violence since the strikers refuse to be starved into submission. Arrest Pickets. Last Thursday morning the police made a new drive upon the pickets who have kept constant vigil-on the picket line but the strikers have be- come accustomed to the methods of the ruling class. Two arests were made. : On Friday morning Morris Bern- stein, one of the strikers, reinforced the picketers and succeeded in per- suading a few scabs to remain off the job. This infuriated the boss to such an extent that he assaulted Bernstein and one of the pickets. The boss thinking everything serene had Bern- stein placed under arrest: immedi- ately Bernstein demanded the arrest of the boss who is Joseph Fischel, Supt. of the Comfort Sandal Mfg. Co., 87-93 Sunswick St., Long Island City. The policeman refused at first but upon second thot took both Fischel and Bernstein to the police station. Upon their arrival it was amusing to watch the antics of the boss who at- tempted to impress the police authori- ties with his importance as a superin- tendent, The captain, however, was not impressed and pushed him to one side, After charges were preferred Mr. Fischel was hustled with other prisoners into the cage while a score of interested and curious strikers watched the boss behind the bars nervously waiting the case to be called. |) i A very able lawyer defended the strikers, Mr. Brodsky, while the boss was so taken by surprise that he had no time to.retain an attorney. After the magistrate had listened for a short time to the interrupted remarks of the striker's attorney the boss asked for an adjournment which was granted until a later date. CANADIAN NEWS TELEGRAPHERS OUT ON STRIKE (By The Federated Press) TDORONTO, Sept. 17—-The Cana- dian Press, the chief newsgathering| agency of the Canadian daily news- papers, has a strike on its hands. The} telegraphers in its employ are out! over a wage dispute, and the Com-| mercial ‘Telegraphers’ union, with which they are affiliated, is refusing to handle news dispatches. The Can- adian Press and the individual news- papers are now geting their news chiefly by telephone and radio. Chief operators in the telegraph companies, not members of the union, are hand- ling a limited amount of newspaper copy. CAMPAIGN TO PUT COMMUNIST CANDIDATES ON FALL TICKET BRINGING EXCELLENT RESULTS By WM. F. KRUSE. The campaign for signatures to put our candidates on the ballot has done a lot of good. Thousands of workers, completely off our beaten paths, now know that there are Communist candi- dates in the fields. Many “tired radicals” have been shamed at their own inaction by the presence of the canvasser at their door. And best of all, our own sequestered menrbership has found out that one can directly approach the non-Communist worker with- out immediate fatalities, in fact, that it is good fun to carry the banner direct to his doorstep, to Ask Wage Increase. The wage dispute between the teleg- raphers and the Canadian Press cov- ers a wide range. The men are ask- ing for an increase in the minimum from $45 to $50 per week, while the company is proposing a cut in pay. The Canadian Press asks for arbitra; tion, but the men refuse to consider a cut at all tho quite willing to arbi- trate for a raise, Minister of labor, James Murdock, has established a board to inquire in- to the dispute but the telegraphers refuse to recognize the board unless the proposal for a cut in pay is drop- ped. Russ Co-operatives Only Ones to Hand Back British Loan LONDON, Sept. 17.—The English co-operative societies who loaned nearly $5,000,000 to the Russian and other eastern co-operatives immedi. ately after the war have been repaid by the Russians alone. The other co-ops in eastern Europe are dilatory about repayment and in some cases the British workers’ money is as good as gone. Labor in England is using these facts to prove that the proposed loan to the Russian government is safe. They argue that when Russia recog- nizes an obligation she pays up, but that the money loaned to the czar be- fore the revolution to stamp out labor match wits with him and to win his friendly respect at least, if not his support. Most comrades found it hard to, make the start. It was so different from our usual line of meetings and more meetings, where everybody knew everybody else, and where one could just about anticipate what every speaker would say. Here was virgin Netd with the unexpected be- hind every door. The City Office made it easier by giving instructions in detail, just HOW the work was) to be done. If some of our other (and) easier)ytasks were as well organized! we would have more and better work- ers in them also. Our members want to work but they think that they don't} know how. On new tasks especially | the old habits cling to them and hold} them back. Here's an Example. An illusration. This canvassing is} an individual job, perhaps for some, a two man job. You take your papers, you go to your territory, and you go to work. That's all. Last Sunday sev- eral branches. made a last minute drive for names. I arrived at head- quarters and found about twenty com- rades sitting on the stoop and wait- ing. Waiting for what? The material was all there. A responsible comrade had it ready for distribution. They explained that they were waiting for a few more so they could have a “meet-1 ing.” Why a “meeting?” Nobody knew. And it was a good half-hour pas the time set for the start of the drive. Work was started at once and with good results. Comrades who had never ap- proached strangers before did so with much misgiving, only to be surprised at how simple and interesting it was. About fifty calls would yield half that number of signers. The others were not all refusals. Some men worked, others had gone to church or else- where where the Communist canvas- ser cannot follow. One little girl said: “Father is a policeman on night beat, shall I wake him?” Our can- vassers temper valor with discretion so the copper’s dreams of pre-Vol- stead days were not disturbed. 4 Out of 50 for “Lafayette.” «In the fifty houses visited, four were found “for Lafayette.” Two of them signed our petitions, none had been approached to sign by either LaFollette or socialist canvassers. LaFollette men were sore at us for “dividing up the vote” but this was answered by a short expose of Bobs’ slaughter of the labor party, and an explanation that the independent candidacy merely was one more capi- talist camp in which to divide up the working class. One intense British patriot was encountered, flags all over house, his son had to work seven days a week to support the family,—we did not get to see the son, there might have been a different story and an- other signature. One old Irish lady signed but said: “I wouldn't go upstairs if I were you, they’re just Jews.” Up we went and found a W. P. sympathizer who told us where we could get five more names, right in the district. At another place where four names were picked up in two adjoining flats I was again asked not to go up to the floors above, “It won't do you any good and we don’t want them to see our names on the petitjon.” Our canvassers should be instructed to make a special list of actual sympa- thizers encountered so that these people could be cultivated for organ- ization purposes. Homeward bound I met several other canvassers from our branch and all were elated, over their experi- ences and success. Those who went out on the firing line, were just regu- lar rank and file members, none of them had ever “risen” as far as the City Central Committee, and most of them would never care to, This was the first work they had ever been given, outside of selling tickets and collecting money for party, press, re- lief, defense, etc., that they felt that they could do it because they had been told and shown HOW té do it. The experience is certain to have a good effect upon the future party work and attitude of these members, Toledo Begins Campaign Meetings.

DETROIT, Sept. 17.—The Colonial.

Taxicabs, popularly associated with expensive pleasure, will apparently have anew and grim function In the next imper- jalist war or in a future large-scale clash between workers and employers. In the Mobilization day demonstration in Detroit Sept. 12, the Yellow Cab: Co., the Checker Cab Co, and the Brown & White Cab Co. contributed about 400 eabs and drivers to the 5th army train maneuvers: to “show how 250,000 men in Wayne county could be mobilized hastily by meang of taxicabs and private cars.” aud} Methodist Pacifism. by And in spite of the much-vaunted Methodist pacifism Rev.
