FAKERS GET AN INJUNCTION TO STOP REYNOLDS | Forbid Union Member | Attending Meetings ] (Special to the Daily Worker) | DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 27— | Local Union 2140 gave a ring- ing, answer to Hutcheson and | his payroll gang as to their atti- tude toward the expulsion of William Reynolds, president of their local. After General Or- ganizer Botterill had spent over a half hour trying to alibi the action, the local voted that he keep his seat for the rest of the evening. After an hour’s discussion in- cluding a statement from a member in Los Angeles regarding the failroading there and a re-capitulation of the expulsion proceedings by Rey- nolds, the local voted unanimously to sustain Reynolds in his membership and all rights and privileges until such time as he stood convicted by his local. Union Officials Get Injunction At 3 o'clock next afternoon, Shar- tock, rénegade head of the District Council located Reynolds on the phone at the House of the Masses and 20 minutes later “Jelly” Fish, secretary of the District Council, arrived at the House. and pointed Reynolds out to a deputy who served an injunction restraining Reynolds from attending any meetings of the United Brother- hood of Carpenters and Joiners in the Wayne county district. The injunction was issued by | Judge Hunt of the circuit court and made returnable February 20th. After locating Reynolds for the deputy, stool pigeon Fish turned and ran down the stairs, but not before he had been spoken to by two members of Car- benters’ Local Union 420. | Bankrupt Autocracy The resort to injunction proceedings by the agents of the G. HB. B. in Detroit is the best evidence of the bankruptcy of Botterill’s case against | Reynolds. During the past week, the } TRY 10 FORGE TRINITY CHURCH IN N.Y. TO DISGORGE 10 MILLION NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—A suit to force Trinity church to give up the $10,000,000 worth of property it owns and leases. in dowtown New York, was instituted In fed- eral court today by Wesley J. Edwards, of Los Angeles, and Ar- thur J. Edwards, of Guilford county, North Carolina. They are descendants of Robert Edwards, who died in 1867, and claim to be the rightful heirs to his estate. He died without making a will, The descendants clalm the Trinity church acquired the property thru an assignment of an unexpired lease which stopped being binding on the estate of Robert Edwards on May 1, 1866. SS ea sentiment against the expulsion has crystallized to such an extent that the entire carpenters’ movement is seeth- ing with revolt. Last Monday evening, Local 19, the oldest, largest, and most influential local in the district, was bitter in its denunciation of the tyrannical action of Botterill. Only the arbitrary ruling of a reactionary president prevented the local from repudiating the expul- sion. Every Local Opposes Expulsion. On the same evening, Local 1191 adopted a resolution unanimously repudiating the expulsion. On Tues- day evening, President Sharrock of Local 1805, also president of the Dis- trict Council, refused to open the meeting while Reynolds was present. The discussion was so prolonged that it occupied the meeting until 10:30. Wednesday evening, Local 1102 un- animously adopted a motion demand- ing a fair trial for Reynolds in ac- cordance with the constitution. Thurs- day evening, the fight at the District Council expressed itself in a fight against Botterill, which culminated in @ motion to oust him from the dis- trict being adopted by a more than three to one vote. If Hutcheson needs any further proof that he has rendered a “slight- ly” unpopular decision, the carpen- ters in this district are determined to spread the revolt thruout the en- tire length and breath of the Brother- hood. eer | ‘LENIN MEMORIAL MEETINGS January 28. |, _ Bellaire, Ohio.

This is evident in his haughty remarks against Great Britain, given in a interview yester- day. - Relations between Mexico and Eng- land have been severed since the Obregon-Calles group, acting for and in the interests of Wall Street im- perialists, crushed the British oil- backed fascist counter-revolution of De la Huerta. Britain took the chance of using the murder of a British subject, Rosalie Evans, as an excuse to withdraw its consul, A. Cunard Cummins and cease all diplomatic relations, . Britain Must Act First. “The resumption of relations with Great Britain,” said President Calles, “will have to be the product of a spon- taneous act on the part of that gov- ernment. The Mexican government can in no manner accept conditional friendship born of the previous condi- tions,” To Return Railroads to Capitalists In still another subject Calles showed his surrender of Mexican re- sources to the bankers of New York. That is, the handing back, under the excuse that they are not paying, the government owned railroad to private exploitation. President Calles said that an inven- tory was being taken of the national railways and mines. The receipts and expenses were being studied and the condition of the railway tracks was be- ing reported upon for comparison with their condition when the government took over the railroads in 1914. The president did not deny that all this would probably lead to the return of the lines to private management at a not to distant date should that be convenient for the government. The return of the railways to private management was one of the clauses of the Lamont-De la Huerta agreement. Forbes Obtained False Bank Notes Is State’s Charge Ralph B. Potter, special assistant attorney general, in his closing spech here in the Forbes-Thompson case in the federal court, attacked exhibits offered by the defense. Three notes obtained from the Uni- on Trust Co. were shown the jury by Potter, who charged that they were part of the conspiracy to defraud the government on hospital contracts awarded by the veterans’ bureau of which Col. Charles R. Forbes formerly was the head. Only one of them, a note for $1,- 000, given to Elias H. Mortimer by A. M. McDonald, ship builder, was hon- est and in pay for services rendered, Potter declared. After attorneys for the defense speak, John W. H. Crim will close for the government and the case prob- ably will go to the jury Wednesday, after ten weeks’ trial. Wall Street Stays Cautious and Cool On French Loans NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—Wall Street is not negotiating just now for loans on French industrial and municipal, bonds, because of the recent ‘French attitude towards France’s debt to the U. 8. The recent statement by depu- ty Louis Marin in France as to the fices during the war, considered a: well as loans made to her, has caused @ new view by American bankers and by the government. £ There are reports, too, that the gov- ernment here has declared for with- holding from the market pending French loans. Bankers, who have sign- ed contracts for new issues declared this “good business,” and they say the market for French bonds has been in- Jured and French credit impaired by the debt discussion. They think, however, that the situa- tion is temporary and that the discus- ‘sion will be freer and lead to other and ameliorating conditions. _ Bankers Work Free Propaganda. NEW YORK.—Bankers not only monopolize credit, boom or strangle industry but they know how to work the newspapers to give free propagan- da for their purposes. The American Press, a journal that circulates among newspapers, brags of the lot of free reading matter the bankers are able to slip into the week- lies of the country. “The American Bankers’ Assn. ap- pears to be highly successful in land- ing free publicity in the weekly press,” the American Press writes. “Releases sent out include propaganda stories opposing government ownership of railroads.

Means, former government agent, and Col. Thomas B. Felder. The letter was alleged to have been written by Elmer W. Jarnecke, who was indicted with Means and Felder on a charge of conspiring to obstruct justice: He was on the stand as a witness for the prosecution, when Hi ram C.

The matter came up in the examin- ation of Jarnecke about an alleged arrangement by the defendants to use the mails for selling stock in a glass casket concern. It was alleged that $65,000 had been collected to be used in preventing prosecution. Jarnecke, with Means was convicted of violation of the liquor law July 1 He was sentenced to two years in pris- on and to pay a fine of $5,000. He was held on $25,000 bail, pending ap peal.
