KAROLYI, FREED FROM U.S. GAG, ATTACKS PLOT Vanderbilt and Horthy Aided by Coolidge (8pecial to The Daily Worker.) MONTREAL, April 10.—The muzszl- ing censorship of the American state epartment which forbade Count ichael Karolyi, once president of the short-lived Hungarian republic, to say ® word while visiting in the United Btates about the murderous Horthy dictatorship in Hungary, was dropped et the Canadian border and Karolyi opend up an attack on Horthy. as hav- ing influenced his gagging by the Am- erican government, Hungary One of Hoover's Conquests. Tt must be remembered that Secre- tary Herbert Hoover and the Ameri- ean army officers and bankers were instrumental in plotting the bloody overthrowal of the Hungarian Soviet Republic by the white guardist dictat- orship of Horthy in the period follow- ing the Karolyi regime. Hungary is practically a colony of Wall Street to- day and the American government openly supports the Horthy white Guards in their butchery of thousands of workers. Karolyi, tho far from being a revo- lutionist, and best described as a lib- eral, openly claims that Horthy brot fnfluences to bear on the American government of Coolidge thru Count Szechenyi, Hungarian minister to the United States, and husband of the former Gladys Vanderbilt. A Practical Object. That the gag rule enforced on him by Collidge’s great “democracy” had a ctical thing in view was shown by lyi’s statement that the Horthy- Coolidge combine did not want him to make speeches which would prevent white guard Hungary from getting Joans from the American investors. Karolyi urged American investors not to buy Hungarian bonds. More loans from the United States would mean finance for a new war, he said. The Late “Enemy.” “When the Horthy regime in Hun- gary says it wants to reestablish a kingdom in Hungary without mention- ing what kind of a kingdom, it is ca- mouflaging its aim to restore the Haps- burgs. And Hungary is but the step- ping stone on which they want to re- build not only the Austro-Hungarian monarchy but the alliance with imper- lalistic Germany.” see WASHINGTON, April 10.—Countess Michael Karolyi, wife of the former resident of Hungary, had a talk with ; R. Castle, Jr., chief of the state Gepartment division of western European affairs, when Secretary Kellogg refused to see her with refer- ence to the removal of the gag placed apon her husband when he entered the United States. She denied to the ress that she had asked anything m the department. Talk it up—your shopmate will subscribe! scribe to The But it is the Organizers. shop-mate—it munist of you! NAME STREET. ITY.

C., April 10.— Official reports received from Moscow by the Russian Information Bureau here announce the completion during the present year of the first step in the program of doubling the supply of electric power in the Soviet Union. By October 1, the Soviet government will have spent the equivalent of $70,- 000,000 in the establishment of seven regional power stations and the rehab- ilitation of existing stations. The an- nouncement was received in a special issue of the Gazette of Trade and In- dustry, the organ of the supreme coun- cil of national economy, dated March % The regional stations will materially lower the price of electric current for the districts they serve. The Volkhov plant, near Leningrad, where water power is used, can produce power at @ oost of two kopecks (one cent) per kilowatt hour, and the Shterov plant in the Don, running with small anthra- cite, can produce for 2.6 copecks per kilowatt hour, including provision for sinking fund. TEXTILE MILLS IN SOUTH FIRE MANY WORKERS Unions Struggle for Foothold PHILADDLPHIA, Pa,, April 10.— James Starr, vice-president United Textile Workers, has come to Phila- delphia for the 1925 union organiza- tion drive after a survey of southern textile conditions. “The south was hit as hard as the north,” he says, dispel- ling the old myth of northern mill owners that southern mills take all the trade. “Mills have been working at 25 per cent and 50 per oent in North Carolina. Manville-Jenckes (big Rhode Island mill owners) have not made good by their move south.” The south will not be organized, Starr believes, until mill villages go. Ministers and teachers are paid at least partly by mill owners and dare not side with downtrodden workers. Fathers making $14 and $i6'a week have wives working with them’ in the mills taking time off to’ nurse the youngest baby brought along’ while the rest of the family remains at home under care of the eldest child not working. Workers are afraid to come to union meetings and those who come have only work overalls and gingham dresses to wear. Spies and gunmen are not uncommon, Starr says, and the oe of the workers is heart-rend- ing. Unemployment At Capital WASHINGTON, D. C. April 10.— There is a surplus of clerical help and labor, both skilled and: unskilled, in this city, R. Pilkington, federal director of employment has announ- ced.

The immediate case is the joint army navy war games to be held in Hawaiian waters. Aircraft will play a minor role in the maneuvers, air service officers asserted, There are not enough army planes stationed in Hawaii, they said, to make even a sham battle interest: ing for the strong battle fleet and the navy airplanes that the “enemy” will send against them. Officers of the Mitchell faction, who would not permit their names to be used for fear of discipline, vigorously sriticised the statement of Major Gen. John L, Hines, chief of staff, that me of the prime purposes of the maneuvers was to determine whether the defending planes could cripple the attacking fleet, “With the present air forces in Hawaii,” they said, “there is no chance we will be able to do any- thing to the enemy fleet. Consequent- iy, we will be licked—and then there will be another barrage of bunk about the battleship still being mightier than the airplanes.” The United States theoretically has lost the islands before the games be- gin, the flying officers assert, as the mastery of the air is concededly with the enemy and the maneuvers will not, therefore, show what may or may not be done under war conditions, despite war department announce- ments to the contrary. Kleist, ex-Socialist and Klansman, Meets Defeat in Wisconsin Election (Special to The Dally Worker.) MILWAUKEE, Wis., April 10.— John C. Kleist, a klansman, recently expelled from the socialist party, who was a candidate for justice of the supreme court was overwhelmingly lefeated in the recent judicial elec- ions. Reared in the opportunist ten- dencies of the socialist party, he quick y left the organization and allied him- self with the klan as soon as he sensed that the socialist party did not guar- antee him an immediate political fu- ture. Basically there is not much dif- ference between the klansmen on the inside and on the outside of the so- cialist party. The socialist party of this city ts fast drifting toward fas- cism and its organization is producing the true Mussolinis of the American type. Christopher, III. Miners and Friends _ to Hold Big Dance CHRISTOPHER, Ml, April 10.—all workers in and around Christopher are invited to come to the dance which will be given for the benefit of the T. U. HB.

These pictures will be shown for the first time in the DAILY WORKER Film Edition No. 6, at the Wicker Park Theater, 1539 Milwaukee Ave., on April 15. The pictures are very clear and hundreds of well- known comrades can be recognized in the crowd. The feature of the program will be a return engagement of “The Beauty and the Bolshevik” and “Russia in Overalls.” So many could not get into the great Ashland Auditorium when it was shown the first time, that this second showing was made necessary. There is no guarantee that there will be further repeat performances, so all who expect to see this Russian feature film should come early to the Wicker Park Theater. German Marks Now Worthless, Luckless Investors Are Told WASHINGTON, April 10.—German marks representing a face value of millions of dollars are pouring into the department of commerce today from all parts of the United States. Secretary Hoover's department has been asked to cash a pile of millions of marks. “The American people have lost & department financial ex- Pert says. “The department has been flooded with requests to exchange amounts varying from one thousand to milifons of marks. None seem to comprehend that a mark can be worth as little as one forty millionth of a cent. But this is the case. It would not pay any one to present paper marks to the German reichsbank for redemption unless he possesses at least four trillion.” Four trillion marks are worth about a dollar exchange value—in 1913 a bundle of that dimension would have brought many billions of dollars. The department has information that the number of paper marks sold in this country was simply stupendous. A figure representing the number would contain so many ciphers as to be incomprehensible, according to ex- perts. The reichsbank will not accept marks for redemption in less than ten billion mark packages.

WORK IN GOTHAM Initiate New | Campaign for Politicals NEW YORK, April 10.—Anybody who has any doubt as to the activi- | ties of the Young Workers League and the Junior Groups of New York, might have been fully enlightened on the matter by the attendance of the Y. W. L, and junior delegates at the con- ference of the International Workers’ Aid held on Monday, April 6. Half of the delegates present were of the Y, W. L, and the Junior Groups. The conference dealt with the new campaigns that the I. W. A. is under- taking. There is to be a new cam- paign for political prisoners, a new contribution list having been issued. The campaign is to be carried into all trade unions, fraternal and other working class organizations. The branches and séctions of the party and league were requested to hold an af- fair before the end of the season for the benefit of the I. W. A. and the Irish relief. Conference To Be Held The Irish Workers’ and Peasants’ Famine Relief Committee will be sup- ported in every way by the I. W. A. Leaflets, contribution lists have been prepared and will go out to the or- ganizations. A conference will be held in the near future—May 3,—at which it is intended to broaden the work of the Irish relief. At the conference, it was reported that the I. W. A, and the Labor De- fense Council are jointly planning an outing in the latter part of August, combined with athletic exhibitions and contests and an outdoor panto- mine. The Workers’ Sport Alliance and the Workers’ Drama League are being asked to co-operate. In October there will be a ball and a hall has been procured for a joint bazaar next year in February. The Workers Party members must get as active as the Y. W. L, and the Junior Groups. They must elect their dleegates to the I, W. A. conference and see to it that they attend. Let them take an example from the young- er comrades who are beginning to do most active work in the I. W. A. ‘Thus it was noted that at the Lanzut- sky demonstration in the Central Opera House, fully half of the audi- ence was made up of Y. W. L. mem- bers. At the demonstration in front of the Polish consulate, the same ratio prevailed. Youth is in the vanguard— but the older comrades must not stand back, Bunco Party Tonight; Only Costs 2 Bits Area Branch 5 of the Young Work- ers’ League has inflated the anticipa- tion of the Communists of Chicago and vicinity worse than the French currency, in boosting the grand bunco party and dance which will be held tonight at 1902 W.

Cleveland Cops a Fortune. As in all locals, money is a crying need. For many months the money- raising ventures never showed enough of a net surplus in cash to satisfy. However, the recent bazaar and cos- tume ball threw a small fortune into the lap of the local, More than a thousand workers with their families attended and the net today is $600. In Cleveland the T. U. E. L. work is showing new life. The pamphlet telling what's wrong in the carpen- ters’ union is being sold by the pro- gressive building trades workers. The needle trades section is distributing the Local 5 expulsion leaflet despite the opposition of a member of the G. E. B. of the Amalgamated, now in this city. Two large meetings are to be held protesting against the white terror in Poland, one the on east and one on the south side. Negotiations have been entered into with local Kuomintang officials to hold a meet- ing in commemoration of the death of Sun Yat Sen. A dance to secure funds for the relief of the Irish famine sufferers resulted successfully and the Building Laborers’ Union hag just donated its hall for a meeting on April 19, to be addressed by McCarthy on Irish relief. To Invade Akron at Once. Akron is the rubber tire center of the world. The workers are unorgan- ized. The speed-up system operates here as no place else. Workers in the pits that used to run seven heats in a shift are now running 23 heats a shift with half the number of em- ployes. In Akron a provisional na- tional rubber workers’ committee must be organized at once. Also, here we have an opportunity to establish two or three strong shop nuclei. Im- mediate steps to prosecute this work have already been taken. Steel Workers Responding. The Youngstown, Girard, Niles, Warren steel region in this district has felt the impact of Communist activity in these last weeks. The definite organization of the party frac- tion in the left wing of the Amal- gamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers is proceeding, thé first meeting to bring about this or- ganization having been held shortly with Wm. Dunne, Arne Swabeck and the district organizer of District 6 on the ground. The national convention of the steel and tin plate workers is now in session. Then also one steel mill nuclei has been organized and two or three more will follow shortly. Miners Hear Communist Call.

The threat to expel from the unions Communists and progressives only had the effect throwing us im- mediately into the “offensive, organ- izing a dozen meetings in the coal mining region, telling the miners who the progressives are and what they believe in, exposing the reactionaries. Comrade Max Salzman carried on this work for the party. Under the leader- ship of party members the progres: sives in the miners’ union are now being mobilized into a more compact form so that the struggle can be car ried on in a more contralized and effective manner, The Potteries of East Liverpool Though Mary G. Waters of the Hast Liverpool local has informed us that our industrial activities among the thousands of pottery workers, all fairly well organized, will confront us with many peculiar and new angles in relation to the party’s work in the trade unions, yet pottery workerg are workers and where workers are there we as Communists must busy our- selves.

The place where law: ‘@ manufac- tured, Columbus, has not been left out of eye. The ku klux klan and its compulsory bible reading bill for all school children has brought its reply from the party in the shape of a leaflet that is being given state-wide distribution. In this the Young Work- ers League is assisting commendably. The effort to foist a state military po- lice upon the workers in this state, which everyone knows to be but an- other name for an army of strike breaking cossacks, was met by the party with another leaflet, which has been distributed widely at factory and mine and in labor union meeting halls. A Bit of Money Would Help a Lot. The tasks before us are numerous. Good beginnings have been made and the party im the district can be built in proportion to our actual activities. These activities must be financed. Branches in the district must remft regularly their district tax.
