| Page Four Et PRICES BOOSTED IN CANADA BY BREAD MONOPOLY Raise Not Caused by Wheat Prices NEW YORK—(FP)—May -7.—All the threats of employers backed by the attack by attorney Samuel Unter meyer in the Specialty Bakery Owners’ convention. failed to stop the organ- ized Jewish bakery workers in the In- ternational Bakery and Confectionery Workers’ Union from securing renew- ed agreements with these same em- ployers. Even the injunction granted to the small independent United Bakery Workers’ Union against the Interna- tional was of no effect when it came to the show-down. Negotiate With the Trust With a few minor exceptions all the Jewish bakery owners renewed their agreements with the locals of the In- ternational. Their renamed associa- tion, Specialty Bakery Owners, which demanded a collective agreement from the union failed to alarm the workers who realized that the em- ployers in such a loose organization could sign the agreement as a body. and then drop out to run non-union shops. Three of the largest Jewish baker- ies, employing between 100 and 200 bakers each, who have been negotiat- ing with the newly formed Continent- al Baking corporation, that is trying to become the bread trust of the United States, had to sign with the unfon in spite of their wealthy friends. Divide Up the Work The United Bakery Workers is a small independent local organization operating under a state charter. In order to win the employers’ approval this group, calling itself a union, of- fered to sign with bakery owners on the 8-hour day and $55 minimum wage basis instead of the 74-hour and $75 weekly minimum established by years of struggle by the International, affi- ated with the American Federation of Labor. The U. B. W. would have allowed dts men to work six days a week in- stead of following the practice of the international locals in dividing up the work so that all union bakers work «two, three or four days a week when there is not full-time work for all. Untermeyer Weeps for Bosses In the employers recent convention when the Jewish bakery owners chan- ged the name of their organization and selected Morris Frankel, editor of The Mediator, bakery owners’ journal, Samuel Untermeyer charged that con- ditions: were reversed now in the baking industry; that where formerly the workers were enslaved by their employers, now the employers were slaves to the union thru its individual agreement policy. The union’s answer is that the em- ployers have not made a responsible organization, with bonded security, with which the International can safe- ly sign a collective agreement. Bronx Y. W. L.

In each ward our speakers are calling upon this gang to take a stand on the mayorality issue. In each case they are found to be either directly or in- directly supporting the reactionary candidate of the citizens’ alliance, the present republican Mayor Leach for re-election. The working class re- sents this betrayal and are rallying behind Stevens. Read DAILY WORKER. The campaign is on full blast. Thou- sands of copies of the DAILY WORK- ER are being distributed daily to the workers in all parts of the city. They read the DAILY WORKER with great interest and ask for more, 7 Communist Campaign Unites Workers The platform of the party which calls for day labor, maintenance of workers’ children in schools, the so- cialization of all public service cor- porations with theif control vested in the unions is eliciting applause from the working class because it’s the only one that deals with their inter- ests in a direct way. Leading Party of Workers. . The labor fakirs themselves con- cede that Dan W. Stevens may win the nomination. They are in a flurry about it. Moreover their sabotage of Dan W. Stevens applies only to themselves. There is absolutely no doubt that the Workers (Communist) Party is going to emerge out of this campaign as the leading party of the working class of Minneapolis. Not withstanding the fact that the weather has been cold, our meetings have been well attended. + OF POLISH SPIES MOSCOW, May SOVIET RUSSIA UNCOVERS NEST UNDER ORDERS OF THE WHITE GUARD GOVERNMENT 7.—Another Polish citizen who was to be exchanged ball DAILY: WORKER teamed sna ts EEE Patronize Our Minneapolis Advertisers AUSTRALIA HAS MAY DAY UNITED FRONTIMEETINGS (Special to the Dally Worker) MELBOURNE, Australia, May 7.— Sixty metings, 60,000 leaflets, a mass procession.

He worked under instructions of the Polish ministry of foreign affairs, which continually demanded that he should collect information of a mili- tary character as well as data throw- ing light on the activities of anti- Soviet groups, the currents and tend- cenies within the Communist Party, and also secret economic information. Laszkewitch had at his disposal a numerous staff, and he had establi ed a complex system of “liason.” - Besides Usasz and Laszkewitch, the Soviet government had proposed to hand over, by way of exchange, over twenty Polish spies, caught in action and convicted. However, to judge by the last note of the government of the U.,S. S. R. to Poland, the ques- tion of their exchange has evidently had to be reconsidered. Guard Polish Legation. In view of high feeling still running among the public and the continua- tion of anti-Polish manifestations at Minsk, in connection with the mur- der of Baginsky and Veczerkowitch, the building of the Polish legation at Moscow is being strongly guarded by the Soviet militia, while at Lenin- grad the mounted militia is patrol- ling all the streets lying near and around the Polish consulate, thus keeping the crowds of manifestants from approaching the latter. White Guards Unpopular. It is announced that a few hours before the arrest by the militia of the priest Usasz, who was hiding in the Polish consulate at Minsk, the Polish consul had informed the local commissioner of People’s Commis- sariat of Foreign Affairs that a stone had been thrown into his room from the street and had broken the win- dow pane. , Upon receipt of this communica- tion, the commissioner expressed his regrets to the Polish consul and prom- ised to strengthen the guard outside the building of the consulate. He also ordered an investigation to be made immediately. It is officially announced that the ‘ NEW YORK, NOTICE! HE AR MOISSAYE J. OLGIN, Workers Party PROF. WM.

May 7.— On Saturday, May 9, at Columbia Hall, 1007 Main St., the Minneapolis Ukrainian Dramatic Society is go- ing to hold a memorial celebration on the occasion of the 64th year of the death of T, Scheweczenko, who was a great revolutionary poet of the Ukrainian people and whose work on behalf of the abolition of serfdom has endeared him to the hearts of the Ukrainian proletariat forever. All Russian, Ukrainian and other Slovanic. workers are cordially in- vited to attend this celebration. The program will consist of 22 classical numbers. Belorussian state political depart- ment has uncovered an organization of espionage at Minsk, which worked ander the direction of the former Pol- ish consul Karozevsky. The latter col lected secret information as to the work of various Soviet institutions and the stationing and movements of the Belorussian military units. On March 80 last, there was arrest- ed a Soviet citizen Garkacz, who was Karczevsky’s right hand man in this work of espionage, carried on in west- ern Belorussia.

Welcomes Jewish Colonists Who Start May 10 MOSCOW, May 7.—A proclamation welcoming the settlement of the Jews on the land was issued by the first Soviet conference of the District of Babruisk, which held its last session here today. It calls upon all Soviet institutions to help develop the Jewish colonization work and appeals to the Russian fellow-peasants. The Police Commissariat of the Ukraine has an- nounced that all prospective Jewish colonists to whom land was allotted during March must settle and begin work not later than May 10 to 13. Those who will fail to do so forfeit their land, which will be given to system, with itsiproduction for private and greases at the profit, and pledges itself to work for the establishment of a state of society wherein the means of production will be socially owned ‘and operated for the benefit of all.” (2) “That this mass meeting of workers sends fraternal greetings to the workers of all lands, and, believing that the abolition of war can be ob- LABOR LYCEUM, 1426 6th Ave., No. Minneapolis, Minn. , ; 1403 WESTERN AVE.| Hecter Service Stations Minneapolis, Minn. 1501 6th AVE., NO. ~ tained only by the supremacy of the el Office Hyland 1992 ; working class of the wor'd, pledges it- st nate WORKERS! self to work unceasingly to build up SERVICE international working class orgentza- Neus to schiSaatllit pares, Clarence A.
