Thursday, January 22, 1925 RUTHENBERG 10 BE RELEASED ON BAIL NEXT WEEK Labor Defense C omplet- ing Bail Arrangements C. E. Ruthenberg, national executive secretary of the Workers (Communist) Party will probably be released from Jackson, Mich., prison on Mon- ae ‘he $7,500 bail required by Justice Louis Brandeis of the U.S. supreme court, who issued the order for a writ of super- sedeas releasing Comrade Ru- thenberg, has been raised. Yesterday George Maurer, secretary of the Labor Defense Council, was in St. Joseph, Michigan, deposited the re- maining $2,500.00 bail required, with the court at St, Joseph, Mich., where Comrade Ruthenberg was sentenced to from 3 to 10 years in prison for as- sembling with othef Communists at the Bridgeman convention. The bail bond will then be taken to Lansing,’ Michigan, where the attor- ney general must sign it. The bail bond must then go to Justice Louis Brandeis at Washington. As soon as the bail bond is signed by Justice Brandeis, it will be taken back to Lansing and deposited with the Michi- gan supreme court. Justice Brandeis will then formally issue the writ and Comrade Ruthenberg will be released pending a hearing before the U. S. supreme court, Muscle Shoals Soon Goes to Morgan’s Electric Trust WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 21—The Underwood Muscle Shoals Bill will be permitted to slumber on speaker Gil- lett’s table in the house until the senate decides on its program for the enference of the joint senate and house committee. Senate Republican leaders failed to give the house assurances as to its conferences on the bill, and the house leaders decided they would not “go where they could not breath their legislative desides.” A report issued here by the national catholic welfare council declares, “In «oui all probability. some branch. or affilia- tion of the General Blectric company will understake the operation of the property.” Coolidge and his backers are winking their eyes at the turning of the $150,000,000 plant over to the Morgan power trust, and are taking their time about it. ‘ However, it is agreed by politicians that the power trust is influential enuf to push a bill thru the house similiar to the senate Underwood bill turning the project over to them.

Meantime the more vital truths of the spirit, upon which we are all willing to agree, tend to be forgotten. “The rulers of the greatest of Huro- pean nations have proclaimed atheism as the doctrine of the state and are urging it upon their millions of peo- ple with a vast propaganda. In our own country. materialism grows strong. A “A nation cannot live without nobler ideals than mere material prosperity. Its people must have beliefs. They must have aims beyond mere security or comfort or luxury. Without faith a nation is sure to die, “Tt is not enuf that a truth be de- clared and then left to be taken for granted. Men forget. Truth must be continually redeclared and kept in the mind if it is to be maintained as a living force. Words are feeble in- struments to affect the human mind and heart.” ‘Nicholas Murray Butler warbled forth the following and a lot more of the same lofty nature, which most of the audience seemed to believe wat true: “New York, the great burden-bearer of the western world, toiling while others sleep that it may render ser- vice to the poor and unfortunate, to those ravaged by fire, by famine or by flood, and to those whose noble as Pirations far outrwh their unaided ca- pacity to achieve, and which strives year in and year out to mold into hon- orable and serviceable American citi- zenship the myriads from all lands speaking many tongues and have come to America’s shores to the gate- way to New York, is now laying the foundations of its lasting fame.” “Realizing that no big capitalist coup can be quite artistic without a labor faker, the bishop had provided for this by introducing Hugh Frayne, gen- [Views of Our Readers To the DAILY WORKER:—In the state of LaFollette a few months ago at the T. B. Yeates factory, an open shop, began to examine every new coming employe, also every person who was employed in the same shop. A good number of employes got fired last week because they happen- ed to hve one eye, either by na- ture or by accident, and some of them lost one eye in the same shop and tho they worked in the same shop for over 5, 10 or 15 years. The reason for this is, the employer and the ingiirance company are afraid that these workers might lose their other eye by another accident and the companies may be compelled to pay compensation. Today, as I write this letter, Fatr- banks.

That is why I believe this movement is going to be the success it should be and those who lend their aid to bring it about will have the supreme satisfac: tion of knowing that they had a hand in not only creating this beautiful and wonderful structure, but they can also feel that they have helped to crush out racial hatreds and religious big- otries, substituting a stronger broth erhood and fraternity among men.” “Tex.” Knows His Business. Since nothing is too good for relig- ion, Bishop Manning expressed his high esteem of George L.

Every Party Member Interested. The points at issue in the party controversy in Russia’ some months ago, is of vital consequence to the in- ternational revolutionary movement. Olgin’s lecture is not alone timely, but affords workers an opportunity of learning the truth about developments within Russia from one who had had first-hand contacts in Russia recently, has studied the question, and its well- qualified to analyze and explain the situation.

Borah’s Influence Is Seemingly Growing (By The Federated Press) WASHINGTON.—While Col. George Harvey, Sen. Hiram Johnson and Chairman Borah of the senate foreign relations committee are opening another technical dispute with Secre- tary Hughes and Ambassador Kellogg over the agreement signed in Paris for division of the payments which Ger- many may make, the consequence of the Paris incident is the strengthening of the hand of Borah in dealing with American foreign policy. It is not too mitch to say that the foreign policy of the United States has passed from the @tocratic control of Hughes to the dominant direction of the Idaho senator. Russian recogni- iton, is on the way. The corner was turned when Hughes resigned. That there would be no return to the Hughes attitude was made clear by the storm of criticism which met the last act of Hughes’ European program—the signing of the reparations allotment pact in Paris. Whatever the outcome of this dispute public sentiment is preparing to wel- come a wide swing away from Hughes in our foreign policy. Borah, the new leader of public opinion on foreign affairs, will be ready, after March 4, to take up with Coolidge the framing of a program of action. . Whether recognition will be direct, through discussions between the American and Russian diplomats in London, Paris or Berlin, or will come after a special commission shall have studied and reported to Coolidge, is not yet being considered. Borah wants direct recognition, based on the right of any people to have what type of government they may choose. The commission idea is prombted by diplomats in Washington as a rear- guard action. Borah would accept it as better than no action, but thinks it @ waste of time. Textile Mills Are’ Facing Many Strikes Against Wage Cuts felt because the ruling is made that not only two-thirds of each local must vote for the strike, but that further blocking of strike action is made by requiring that two-thirds of these lo- cals must so vote before strike can Results in the affiliated locals are being tabulated and “considered” by the textile councils, which furtively Passes the rumor around that not enuf, votes were cast favoring strike to make up the two-thirds requirement, altho it is admitted a majority voted “strike.” Locals “Barely Fail.” The story is given that the carders, ringspinners, loom fixers, mule skin- pers and ring twisters failed to get a two-thirds vote, the two “barely fail- ing.” The weavers, slashers, and warp twisters’ locals: are admitted even by the textile council officials, .to have carried more than the two-thirds, the weavers voting “strike” four to one, and they are the largest local.

At Tilton, New Hampshire, 250 em- ployes of the Elm Textile Mills walk- ed out, men and women together, when asked to do extra work, which is always a decrease in wages.

The Rhode Island Textile Council, affiliated with the United Textile Workers, has gone on record in sup- port of the Woonsocket strikers men- tioned above.

The party members took up the work of organizing themselves into a shop nucleus with enthusiasm, After they had elected an organizer, sec- retary and financial secretary they listened with interest to a short ‘talk that Comrade Israel Amter gave them on the activities of the shop nuc- lei in the Soviet Union and in Ger- many, Comrade Ben Gitlow who is carry- ing on the work of organizing the par- ty shop nuclei stated that the organ- ization of the shop nucleus is only a start. He said that the work will con- tinue in a systematic manner, He ex- plained how the D. B. C, had adopted plans for a campaign of work that would lead to the reorganization of the whole district on the basis of shop nuclei. When the meeting was over the workers returned to work greatly pleased with what had been accomp- lished. They stated that they would make the Communist shop nucleus the tenter of all activities in the interests of the workers in that restaurant. The organizer said “By our activities in behalf of the workers not only do we expect to make the shop nucleus the center of fighting shop committee in- cluding the most militant workers in the shop but also‘to draw many of these into the Communist Party by making them members of our Com- munist shop nucleus.” : Bankers Dictate Own Traction Terms to City; Dever Quiet The bankers controlling the stock of Chicago’s traction lines will deliver their ultimatum to the city of Chicago this afternoon, when they tell the city council whether or not they will con- cede the city control of the street car properties when half the debt is paid the bankers by the city. The bankers insist upon a control- ling voice in the operation of the lines until the last cent has been paid by the city, Silas Strawn, attorney for the traction lines, told the city council on Monday, A final answer will be given the city today. No thot has been expressed in the city council it seems, that the city has the right to confiscate the traction franchises and dictate the terms of the people of Chicago to the bankers. The candidates for aldermen running on the Workers (Communist) Party platform, demand, on the other hand, that all public utilities be immediately taken over by the city and run not for profit, but for the use of the people of Chicago.

MILK WAGON DRIVERS BOOST. BOSSES’ UNION In Fact, They Strike to Make Boss Join The attempt of the Milk Wagon Drivers’ Union to organize a so-called | “Regular Fellowship Club,” consisting of milk dealers of the city and sub- urbs, may result in various strikes this year, the North Shore Dairy com- pany said today. The purpose behind the fellowship club is to cut out competition among milk firms and make a monopoly re- tail and wholesale price. Soliciting business from stores already buying from one company is prohibited, ac- cording to club regulations. The Drivers’ Union kept the North Shore drivers from. distributing on tehir routes yesterday until the firm came to terms and paid a $50 initia- tion fee and two months’ dues to the club. Insist Bosses Must Organize. The dues of the so-called club, it was said, are 50 cents a month for each retail delivery wagon and $5 a month for each wholesale wagon. Dairy owners said that spasmodic strikes of drivers might be expected unless the club fails because of in- ability. to get a majority of the dairy concerns on its rolls. This is the latest idiocy of the Milk Wagon Driver's Union, known as one of the most reactionary bodies of the whole labor movement. At short time ago the officials of the union were elected to hold their jobs for life, and their salary raised, with per- mission given so that they may go to European resorts, to Florida or Calif- ornia and still draw their pay. A Hard Question to Answer Now they are trying to organize their bosses. A member of the union who disagrees with this class collabo- ration program, says he does not know which is the more foolish, the drivers for trying to organize their bosses, or the bosses who resist being organized. CALLES’ SOLDIERS SHOOT DOWN POOR MEXICAN PEASANTS (Special to The Daily Worker) MEXICO CITY, Jan. 21.—A pitch- ed battle is reported to have taken place Saturday between 200 armed peasants and a troop of soldiers near the town of Huichapan, state of Hidalgo. Seven peasants fell, victims of the treachery of Plutarco Callies, president of Mexico, who has open- ed a campaign of violence and state sanctified slaughter upon the peas- ants who insist upon the division of lands according to the constitution before it was modified to suit the foreign land owners and the Mexi- can ranch owners. These are the same peasants who fought with the same arms against fascist De la Huerta to help this same Calles get the presidency. Five of the soldiers are also re- ported dead, the peasants putting up a spirited battle. “The Beauty and the Bolshevik” is coming to Ashland Auditorium Feb. 5, HONOR Every week we shall publish in REICHSTAG HEARS COMMUNIST CRIES AGAINST KAISER Expose Luther and Dawes Plan (Special to The Daily Worker) BERLIN, Jan. 21.—One of the most comical scenes in the history of the German republic occurred when Presi- dent Loebe of the reichstag read the chancellor's cabinet list, As the president paused to empha- size each name the Communists shouted an insult. Thus the parlia- mentary stenographers could list the cabinet as follows: Foreign minister, Stresemann, “turncoat”; minister of the interior, Schiele, “monarchist”; minister of economics, Neuhaus, “re- actionary”; minister of food, Count von Kanitz, “hunger minister”;. min- ister of war, Gessler, “trait E ister of justice, Frenken, minister of+labor, Brauns, “foolish- ness”; minister of finance, Von Schlei- ben, “down with the monarchits, down with men like him.” The hypocritical statement of Chancellor Luther that his regime is not so awfully reactionary because of his first gesture of official action was a “restoration” of the eight-hour day of a few workers in certain indus- tries, is laughed at by the Commun- ists, who point out that reaction is always willing to give economic con- cessions to block and divert the class struggle for political power, just as they did in the beginning of the 1918 revolution, giving way in industry to the workers but keeping them out of state power. By this means the revolutionary spirit which first existed was diverted into “practical” channels. That is when the workers of Germany got the eight-hour day written into the con- stitution. But after the revolution spirit, the fighting spirit had subsided again, and the traitorous socialists were left in full power in the govern- ment to do the wish of \the bour- geoisie, then the employers compelled the workers again to work 10, 12 or more hours, and had them shot down by the government troops if they pro- tested. So Luther's eight-hour hoax is seen for what it is, a trap. Furthermore, no government of Germany can make the workers be- lieve that it stands for the workers’ interests, so long as it approves of the Dawes plan, as Luther has openly and flagrantly stated that he was among the leading fighters for this slave plan. With 7,000 Communists in prison, with trials to come up at Leipsic on Feb, 11, and the Dawes plan crush- ing German labor, the Communists paint Luther as a monarchist hypo- crite, and in the great demonstration on Saturday a Communist impersonat- ing Uncle Sam led a shackled Ger- man worker by a chain tru the streets to show what the Dawes plan means. 25,000 were in line, and ban- ners crying “Civil war against capi talists!” were flaunted openly under the noses of the authorities.
