L. FIGHTS DEPORTATION (Continued from page 1.) foolish and criminal activity of Le- gere since it would have brought dis- aster upon the miners of Nova Scotia. The National Committee of the Trade Union Educational League made clear its opposition to the splitting tactics of Legere in the statements issued by it against him and the O, B. U. The policy of the league is definitely opposed to all secessionist and dual union movements which only lead to the disruption of the labor movement and play into the hands of the re- actionaries who are fighting any pro- gressive movement of the rank and file of the organized workers of this continent. Advocating Split. We stated, and we .repeat, that Legere in attempting, to split the ranks of the miners of Nova Scotia was stupidly advocating that the min- ers sacrifice the organization which they had so painfully built up. And also that he was attempting to get the miners to run away from the struggle against the reactionary Lewis administration of the U. M. W. A. As such, we fought Legere, and rejoice in the fact that the miners of Cape Breton decisively rejected Legere and his splitting tactics. Communists he sunk to the. lowest depths of degradation that we expect- ed only to find in the yellow capitalist press and among the hired socialist pen-perverts of the Gompers’ ma- chine, Legere demonstrated that in his hatred of the Communists and their organizations he stood along with the capitalists and their labor lieutenants, the reactionary trade un- ion bureaucrats. For these reasons, we are» opposed to the viewpoint and tactics of Le- gere. Capitalist Weapon. But at the same time we urge all militant and Communist workers to fight against the deportation of Le- gere by the Canadian government. In, the deportation of Legere the work- ing class, and particularly the radical section of our class, is* being attack- ed. Deportation is a weapon used by the. capitalist governments against the labor movement. In the deporta- tion of active workers in the labor movement the capitalist governments are directly attacking the labor move- ment and must be opposed. Function of State. The attempt to deport Legere brings out more clearly the class struggle, and convinces skeptical workers that the function of the state ig to serve the master class. This extra legal machinery is used indis- criminately against the working class. No matter what differences of opin- ion the workers may have, they all feel the mailed fist of the state. This is the basic reason for the forming of a united front of all work- ers, and the attempt to deport Legere again proves the need of the united FREIHEIT SINGING SOCIETY PLANS » TO OPEN ITS OWN HOME SOON The Freiheit Singing Society has West Roosevelt Road. .

NEW YORK LOCAL OF CARPENTERS HEAR COMMUNIST Take Up Collection for Party representative to address the union on the issues of the campaign the members forced an early adjourn- ment of the meeting and remained in a body to hear the speaker in spite of the determined efforts of the chair- man to prevent a dicussion at the meéting. The members listened attentively to the presentation of the Communist viewpoint. The immediate demonstra- tion showed that friends had been made for the movement. Expressions of regret were heard that the meeting had been officially adjourned, which prevented a dona- tion being made from the funds of the treasury. However, a collection whtth netted $14.28 was made, $1.00 of which was donated by the very chairman who had so obstinately fought to keep the speaker from the meeting, but who now showed signs of sympathy. Turned Down LaFollette Appeal. At a previous meeting, this local had unanimously rejected an appeal for support of the LaFollette candidacy. This incident demonstrates that the workers not only have turned their backs on the old capitalist parties, but that they refuse to be deceived by the false pretenses of LaFolletté and the socialists, and were ready to support the Communist program. These appeals to local unions at their meetings are part of the shop collection drive of the Workers’ Party campaign committee, which is meet- ing with great success among the rank and file of those groups of workers reached. ‘ Industrial Organizers Meet Monday. All industrial organizers of Loca) New York must be present at their next regular meeting on Monday, Octo- ber 6, at 208 Hast 12th St., Room 2. Very important matters must be tak- en up requiring immediate attention. In addition, a report of the Paterson strike will be given . Organizers are urged to come early so that there may be full opportunity for discussion of the various matters “Sacco and Vanzetti Must Die” *|fie chargé as there is no known THE DAILY WORKER s, HERD IS FINED ‘$9 ON TOPPLING U. §. CHARGE Keep Young Worker Busy in Several Courts Peter Herd, with four charges placed against him, was fined $5 and costs yesterday in the Racine Avenue police court on charges of “conspiracy to over- throw the United States gov- ernment, inciting to riot, ob- structing traffic and disorderly conduct.” The fine ‘was presumably placed on the obstructing traf- city ordinance allowing a fine of five dollars for “conspiracy to overthrow the government.” Charges of Stool Pigeon. The charge was placed by Agent Comerford, a stool pigeon for the Mili- tary Intelligence Bureau, and by a city detective. The detective showed George Maur- er, who represented Comrade Herd in court, a letter which he said was signed by the chief of police, order- ing that all future street meetings conducted by the Workers Party on the corner of Sawyer and Lawrence streets, where Herd was arrested three weeks ago, must be broken up} by the police force. | The Workers Party will assert its right to speak on the street corners of Chicago along with the other poli-| tical parties, and an open air mass meeting was arranged for that cor- ner for last night, at which Peter Herd, “Bill” Kruse, Paul Cline, Karl Reeve and others were scheduled to speak. } | Judge Overrules Maurer. | George Maurer made a motion of | error against the judge's decision in the Racine court yesterday, but the judge over-ruled Maurer, Attorney | I. B. Ferguson, has been placed in/ hailed to the 75th street police court | last night, after being arrested at a) Workers Party open air meeting at the corner of 62nd and Halsted street. Comrade Herd was scheuled to ap- pear yesterday morning in the 75th street court, but could not appear, on account of the Racine court charge. The “talking against the gov- ernment” charge was consequently postponed until this morning. Man- uel Gomez represented Comrade Herd inthe 75th street court yesterday. Herd was talking against United States entrance into Chinese or Japa- nese affairs, and was showing the | large crowd that had assembled that | the American capitalists are trying to | work up a war in Japan in order to | dominate the Pacific Ocean and| wrest Pacific and Asiatic markets | from the Japanese. The police, evidently believing that | the capitalists and profiteers are iden-| tical to the government, took the | speech against brutal capitalistic in- | tervention in China as a personal in- sult and handled Comrade Herd ac- cordingly, placing two charges against him. The second charge was ob- structing traffic. The police, unable to prove anything against Herd from his speech, snatehed copies of the DAILY WORKER. Declare DAILY WORKER Treason- able. They read the paper, and declared it treasonable. After Herd was taken to the station house, a German com- rade went on sglling the DAILY WORKER to the increasing crowd, and completely sold out within a few minutes. Herd was kept waiting in the Ra- cine avenue court for several hours yesterday. The judge had not put in an appearance and no witnesses ap peared against him until a late hour Herd was arrested on the corner of Sawyer and Lawrence streets, three weeks ago and his case was postpon- ed until yesterday to allow the police time to cook up a few witnesses Comrade Herd is out on bail after the latest arrest Thursday night.
