,@ampened when they observed the Page Two FOSTER SPEAKS TO WORKERS OF READING SHOPS Steel and Metal Trades Workers at | Meeting By JOSEPH MANLEY. Campaign Manager, Workers Party. William Z. Foster, presidential candidate of the Workers Party, addressed the largest revolu- tionary gathering held in recent years in Reading, Pa., a former stronghold of the socialist party. Reading in the home of James Maurer, president of the State Federation of Labor. Many of Maurer’s friends were present at the meeting and their La- Follette enthusiasm was very much Jarge gathering of workers who res- ponded to the Communist address made by Foster. The socialist party ef Reading formerly had fourteen hundred members now it scarcely has fourteen. A feature of the meeting, which moved the audience deeply, was the appearance on the platform of Jacob Dolla, formerly sentenced to a term in the Eastern Penitentiary because of his activity in the 1919 steel cam- paign. Dolla made a stirring appeal. He was roundly applauded when he declared: “When they sent me to jail, I was only a trade unionist, but when 3 came out I was a communist.” Workers Understand Foster To this strictly working class aud- fence, composed mostly of railroad men from Reading shops, steel work- ers and metal trades workers, Foster im the language of the worker, got across the Communist message and the election program of the Work- ers Party. His castigation of Coolidge, Dawes, Davis, and LaFollette was none the less ruthless because of its touch of humor. Speaking of LaFollette, Foster pointed out that the Wisconsin sen- ator instead of attacking and destroy- ing the force of capitalism’s power, ‘was attempting to pateh it up. He derided the LaFollette plank advocat- ing a referendum on war, and stated that. “This protector of capitalism is chasing a will o’ the wisp.” Foster Attacks Navy Day Foster dealt at some length with the question of imperialism, ¢enter- ing his attack upon the latest scheme of American imperialists to celebrate October 27 as Navy Day., Foster de- clared: “The meaning of the Navy Day is precisely the same as that of Defense Day. Both are steps by the employers to organize powerful ar- mies and naval armadas with which they are to crush all opposition at home and abroad. The fact that we have special days set aside for the militarist and navalist propaganda shows clearly that our ruling class is beginning another campaign of pre- paredness.” New Wars Looming “We have troops in six Sduth and Central American countries today, protecting the investments of the cap- italists. War with Japan is looming, because of the struggle by the Ameri- can capitalists and Japan, for con- trol of the Pacific.” He declared: “Nothing ‘can end capitalist war but @ social revolution, the dictatorship of ‘the proletariat, and the organiza- ton of soviets.

As the typewriter is click- ing off theaé lines, the new magazine is coming off the press. You will like the cover, tho everybody may not know what it all about. This does not mean that it is not an artistic de- sign, That is the trouble. Artists take a keen delight in puzzling, the unartistic section of the working class, which comprises about 99 per cent. The Workers Monthly is a combina- tion of three magazines: The Labor Herald, The Liberator and the Soviet Pictorial. It is three in one. rian * ‘HOSE who thot The Liberator had croaked and were painted in con- sequence, will dig up a quarter when the cover design runs foul of their optics. Earl Browder, editor, of the Workers’ Monthly and Jack John- stone Assistant Secretary of The Trade Union Educational League con- fessed under a sever grilling that they could interpret the cover design, but refused to go into the details on the ground that, they were not artists. Jim Cannon on his way to New York to tackle Al Smith, refused to com- mit himself, suspecting some political plot. Others, less cautious, ventured various guesses. This is not a dirty Trish trick to get you buy the mag- azine: it’s simply the way I feel about it. The picture is pretty. ‘OW, for the inside of the picture. The less said about this the bet- ter. There is no reason why your de- ——— Coolidge knows about nothing. If you are interested in the confessions of great criminals you will first read Alexander Bittelman’s story, entitled “Exit Savinkoff.” There are pictures, poems and editorial comment. Ar- ticles by the leading writers in the Communst movement, Dunne, Olgin, Foster, Ruthenberg, Harrison George, and many others. A class war prisoner in Leavenworth writes: “We who en- joyed the Liberator, Labor Herald and Pictorial are anxiously awaiting The Workers Monthly.” ‘That com- rade will receive The Workers Month- ly. The Monthly has a very warm spqt in its heart for the rebels of whatever workingclass organization, who are in the battle against capital ism, and particularly for those who are in the capitalist dungeons. ee ‘VERY class-conscious worker will want to have the first issue of The Workers Monthly. It will be samething to treasure. But we can assure our readers that the first is- sue will make them long for the next.

Harrison George, whose ar- ticles in The DAILY WORKER, the Labor Herald and other Communist publications, stamp him as the kind of a person who would make an audi- ence comfortable waiting for the main speaker, is master of ceremonies. Comrade Ruthenberg opened the forum last Sunday, and J. Louis Eng- light should be anticipated. Suffice it to say that the place of honor will be held by G.

Nightshirts Join Mayor Against Workers (By The Federated Press) PATERSON, N. J., Oct. 24.— The Ku Klux Klan of Passaic county, New Jersey, has de- clared itself on the strike of silk workers which is in its third month in Paterson. The klan announces support of Mayor McLean in his efforts to have noncitizen strikers de- ported and blames the strike “that paralyzes the silk indus- try, one of the industrial corner- stones upon which rests the prosperity of our city” on for- eign-born workers. Peddle Some Old Bunk. The klan charges that “foreign agi- tators who are not American citizens, who are in this country solely thru the sufferance of our people and who in most instances have. no intention of becoming American citizens” maintain the ‘strike. . “Preservation of the constitutional rights of free speéch to the end that it shall remain a matter of liberty and not of Meense to spread propa- ganda for the overthrow of orderly constitutional government and the es- tablishment of bolshevism and a state of chaos or anarchy” is claimed as gne of the “great principles of our noble order” in the preamble of the klan resolution against the strikers.

W. general ad- ministration shall be allowed to work in the offices without a year’s work in industry. The Proceedings Drag. The convention of the Industrial Workers of the World dragged along yesterday, again postponing investiga- tion of the controversy in order to await the outcome of court 'proceed- ings, in the injunction brought by the Rowan-Bowerman group. Meanwhile Master-in-Chancery Fred Bernstein did not attend the hearing scheduled for yesterday, and no future date has been set for it, according to, William Cun- nea, attorney for the Doyle-Fisher group. The convention has several times postponed action on the controversy between the two groups because of the impending court action, and the injunction hearing has been twice postponed during the sessions of the convention so far. Fred Morris, making a report as suspended assistant secretary-treas- urer, declared he had carried on no work in that capacity except to in- dorse checks. He said he was a “rub- ber stamp” or “pen and ink” officer. A telegram was received from the Portland branch of Industrial Union 510, indorsing the convention and in- dorsing the statement sent out to the membership by the convention last week.

All Workers Invited “support to Blaine, the LaFollette Hillquit and Berger in Political Circus Stunt Have Very Hard Going By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL. TODAY, in two states, the socialists in the political arena are performing the circus stunt of riding two horses. It is an interesting and spectacular sight. It is more hair- raising than anything ever provided by Barnum and Bailey, or the Ringling Brothers, The same feat in this year’s presidential struggle might be attempted by socialists in other states, if the socialist or- ganization extended beyond the confines of New York and Wisconsin. But it doesn’t. So we must be content to view the antics of Morris Hillquit, in New York; Victor L. Berger, in Wisconsin. In the real circus the rider in the two-horse stunt has some chance of retaining his mounts. The horses are trained to do what is expected of them. They have a circular course they must follow. Everything is prepared before hand so that the act will be a howling success. But how different in New York State. There Hillquit is astride the LaFollette presidential candidacy -on the one hand, and the Thomas socialist gubernatorial candidacy on the other. But practically the whole of the LaFollette follow- ing, with the exception of a few rank and file socialists, is out for “Al Smith, the Tammany Hall candidate, not Thomas, for governor. ‘ * Thomas is a good steed. He wants to carry his. load. But he finds that he must fight the Tammany Hall-Gompers labor politicians, who have been very successful in luring away the LaFollette wing of Hillquit’s little political stunt. The New York socialists are very angry that Commun- ists should charge that deals have been made with the Tam- many Hall-Gompers outfit for the support of the Smith can- didacy against that of Thomas. The daily service of the Federated Press from New York City has just arrived and reports that a list of “68 New York labor officials” have signed an appeal for the support of Thomas as against “Governor Smith, the hope of the Wall Street lawyer, John W. Davis.” The report gives, as head- ing the list of names, the signatures of a few labor officials of lesser importance, practically unknown. We scan the list in vain for the names of Morris Sigman, head of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union; Morris Kaufmann, of the, Furriers’ Union; Sidney Hillman, of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, and others who have come out for LaFollette. The only inference is that these so-called “socialists” are also out for Al Smith. Election Day and after will find Hillquit riding his lone steed, Thomas, with his following exterminated. Then there is Berger in Wisconsin. He is also trying to ride LaFollette for the presidency and his own candidate for governor. In Wisconsin the endorsement of Governor Blaine, for re-election by LaFollette, is open and energetic. La- Follette backed Blaine in the primaries against Berger's attack. There-can be no doubt, however, that the officialdom of labor, in Wisconsin, as in New York, will cut the traces that tie them to the Berger political combination, and give their man, the “sure winner.” ~~" Rich fields of timothy and clover, warmed by the sun of olitical victory, is the tempting attraction that makes the little circus stunt of Hillquit and Berger impossible of success. ‘What ig left of the socialist party in these two states will be stripped, on the side of LaFollette, Al Smith and Blaine, of all elements réady to continue their present treason against the interests of the working class. New masses of workers and poor farmers, who come out of this political contest, with their vision cleared, having learned the lesson that they have gone wrong temporarily in their struggle for power, must turn to the Communist movement. They will realize that political power cannot be achieved thru a straddle, with one foot planted in the capitalist politi- cal organizations and the other suspended in midair. Labor must base its struggle for victory on Communist principles. It is learning that lesson thru dearly bought experience in this presidential campaign. ? THE SEVENTH VICTORIOU: YEAR .
