PLUTES GATHER HERE TO FORM WAR AIR FLEET Commercial Planes to Be Made on War Lines An electrically Mghted airway ox- tending from Chicago to New York and eventually from coast to coast and from Mexico to Canada over which scores of planes will fly day and night, carrying consignments of freight and express for delivery on either coast within eight hours, was predicted today as secrecy surround- ing the organization of the $10,000,000 National Air Transport, Inc., gradual- ly dropped away. Service over this modern speedway will be inaugurated early in the fall when the Chicago-New York link will be put into operation and within a year, it 1s thought air contact will be established with every principal city in the nation. According to the tenta- tive program, planes will leave New York nightly at 9:30 and will arrive in Chicago at 6 a.m. No passengers will be carried, The planes will be so constructed as to be easily convert- ed into war planes. No formal announcement concern- ing the new organization had been made today, but it became known that ‘mong those interested in it are Will- iam Wrigley, Jr., Marshall Field III, Edsel Ford, the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor company and the Wright Aero- nautical Corporation. Coolldge Man General Manager. Howard H. Coffin, of the Hudson Mo- tor Oar company, Detroit, will head the new organization as president, ac- cording to reliable information, with Clement B. Keys, of the Curtiss Co., New York, as chairman of the execu- tive committee. Col. Paul Hender- sop, second assistant postmaster gen- eral of the United States, will resign Angust 1, it is said, to become gen- eral manager. N. Y. Teaachers and Principals Hit at New Playground Plan NEW YORK, May 24.—The New York Teachers’ Association has joined with the Principals’ Association in protesting against the opening of school playgrounds under volynta: gsapervision, a plan adopted by the board of education at the suggestion of Mayor Hylan. In resolutions drawn up by the teachers and the principals the plan was attacked as impractical and in- efficient because of the inexperience and lack of training of volunteers. The resolution also points out that asking teachers to give several hours of hard plrysical labor immediately after a day of intensive work of a strenuous nerve-straining type, is not only unfair to the teacher, but makes the children bear the brunt of a sys- tem which would tend to undermine the vitality of the teacher for regular classroom work, ANOTHER JUMPER STYLE. 5108.

How systematically the Zankov gov- ernment organizes the murderous an- nihilation of the Bulgarian people can be seen from a gecret order which has been published by the Belgrad “Politika” Nr. 6086. It reads in part as follows: “All garrisons and all military units must get into contact with the local committees of the government party for a combination of the means of struggle against the members of the peasants’ units and the Communist party against whom it must be pro- ceeded most severely, particularly the more intellectual, most capable and A NEW AND POPULAR STYLE 5114. Jumper styles are in vogue in every conceivable material. The model here portrayed was developed in the new cotton prints, with rep for the guimpe, Gingham, flannel, tub silk and linen are also attractive. The pattern is cut in four sises: 8, 10, 12 and 14 years. A 10-year size will require 2 yards of 36-inch mate- rial for the dress, and 1% yard for ZANKOV POLICE ORDERED TO KILL WORKERS AND PEASANTS LEADERS ON SIGHT—DEATH LIST APALLING SOFIA, Bulgaria, May 24—For more than one and half years, since Zankoy at the head of a military clique conquered the government of Bul- garia, murder has been ruling in the country. All followers of the govern- ment of Stambulinski, the peasants and the workers, are brutally perse- cuted and murdered. Inhuman tortures must be suffered by all those who of these exists in Bulgaria for the workers and peasants; there is only one iaw—that of brutal violence against all opponents of the Zankov govern-¢—————______________ courageous followers of these ideas as well as their organizations must be annihilated, Lists of these people must be compiled as quietly as pos- sible so that in the moment of attack against them all leaders can be killed, without consideration whether they are guilty or not, In places where re- volts take place, all arrested rebels, their assistants as well as those who hide them, must be ruthlessly killed. The same applies to their families. Their houses must be burnt down.” It will be clear to everyone that under such horrible conditions the ground is prepared for acts of terror as the attempts on the king and the minister of the Zankov government in the cathedral, The Bulgarian workers and peas- ants are fighting against annihilation, They are fighting for their life, At present the Zankov government intensifies its terror in order to main- tain itself despite its acts of brutal- ity. The increase of its army for 7,000 men has been permitted by the allied powers because the internh- tional bourgeoisie fears the revolt of the Bulgarian people. Some districts were conquered by the “rebels.” The struggle can only end with the com- plete annihilation of the toiling masses in Bulgaria or with the victory of the workers and peasants over the murder gangs of the military clique. dered Feb. 10, in a street in Rusee.| ° W.

They were arrested and lodged in the immi- gration sheds by the port authorities. The owners of the vessel pretended that the crew had been arrested for dope running and tried to secure from the Federated Seafarers Union white seamen to act as scabs.

THE DAILY WORKER ~ =x oo —. —— Page Five SOVIETAUNION IS STRONGER THAN U.S,,:SAYS GOTO Jap Viscount for Close Relations with Russ (Continued from page 1) even after the convention of January 20, 1925, was signed, the Japanese chauvinists raged and made frantic efforts to put obstacle in the way of practical execution of the agreement. However, as they met with a wide- spread national movement in Japan, which approve, of the Soviet-Japan- ese convention Just concluded, the st- tuation gradually took a change for the better, and. the influence of the chauvinists grew weaker. A Superannuated Belief At the presént’time, their influence is vacillating. However, it will vanish altogether andthe chauvinistic coun- ter-efforts against a closer rapproach- ment between Japan and the Soviet Republics will disappear only when Japanese chauyinists (and, for that matter, the chauvinists of all coun- tries) completely cease to believe that the Third,(Communist) Interna- tional and the Soviet government are one and same,thing which belief, ad- ded the prominent Japanese states- man, Was a§.unwarranted and absurd as it was, so to speak, superannuated. “Until now," continues Viscount Goto, “I thought that it was only in Japan herself ‘that there still existed obdurate chauvinists who believed or, perhaps, professed to believe, that relations with the Union of Soviet So- clalist Republics would spell ruin to the Japanese people. Now, my obser- vation among the Japanese population residing in Matichuria have shown to me that here too, there are people who seem to be afraid of official rela- tions with the Union. Soviets More Stable than U. 8. “Such. views are deplorable, and I feel indignant,at them,” declared the viscount emphatically, “the more so that Soviet Russia has a stronger and more stable government than Eng- land, the, United States of America, or other countries.” There. would: be no obstacles to economic co-operation between Japan and the Union of Soviet Republics, if it were not for those unnatural fears of would-be Bolshevist danger. However, stressed the viscount, as all such bahar 6 Wed are built on sand and are a ly unwarranted the ensuing suspicious ought to be dis- missed without ..further. ado. What is, er,of, more con- sequence, in. riscount's view, is that the Japanese businessmen seem to have no clear. idea yet of the real situation in the. wiet Republics, nor any very definite information as to the Soviet laws on trade and industry. “Therein”"—he says—“lies one of the main reasons why the Japanese capitalists are still preserving an ex- Peetant attitude and keeping in the limits of pr talk. This gap should be filled very soon now. The barrier of lack of reciprocal know- ledge abot one another will certainly fall, so that one is entitled to expect that with a-fairly short time there will disappeat one of the big obstacles to the adequate investment of Japan- ese capital in thé exploitation of na- tural resources-of the Soviet Far East.” In reference to the relations be- tween the Chinese Hastern and the South Manchurian railways, Viscount Goto volunteered the opinion that the unfortunate inimical policies of the *|two enterprises were due mainly to a lack of mutual understanding and even acquaintance, The viscount vo- iced his regret at the present unfriend- ly developments, which, he admitted, were detrimental to both parties con- cerned, > True Friend of New Russia “I wish it to be known’in Moscow” —concluded the eminent statesman— it. a “that I remain, as before, a true friend of new, Russia.” The viscount remarked, in this reference, that he appreciated very much the Moscow press, which was far -superior to the Harbin papers, ‘as the latter, perhaps with the exception of but one or two, were apt to d{stort thé true facts about Russia and Japan—thus pre- judicing the canse of rapproachment of the Peoples;of the two great coun- Viscount Géld” made some courte- ous and friendly remarks about the letter he recejyed from Ambassador Karakhan, which had given him much pleasure. The ambassador of the Soviet Union, he said, had—in spite of his being so busy, found a way to sénd a letter to Viscount Goto, Greeting the lftter at Harbin and vo- icing regrets at not being able to wel- come him personally at Peking, where, owing to the call of urgent business, the viscount could not unfortunately go this time.

It is the greatest crime of the ruling classes that they leave the families of the political prisoners to their misery. The class conscious workers are murdered or imprisoned for years and nobody cares for the fate of their wives and children. On the contrary, the executors of white terror declare cynically that also the progency of $—————___________ the revolution must be annihilated. “MOPR”, First Home of Red Aid In Esthonia together with the class fighters their families are murdered. Only the children under 10 years are saved, In Bulgaria and Hungary and Jugoslavia the same brutalities take place. But even in those countries where the lives of the families are not attacked, they are left to hunger and need. Innumerable orphans populate Finland, Esthonia and the other Baltic states. In all capitalist states the families of the political prisoners de- pend upon the charity of their class comrades. It is therefore in agree- ment with an urgent need that the IRA takes care of the growing gen- eration of the class conscious work- ers and attempts to accomodate them in children’s homes. Hold 35 Children For two years the Red Aid of Ger- many has conducted children’s home in Worpsede near Bremen, A great number of children of German revo- lutionaries have passed several weeks in this home. Despite all attacks by the authorities and reaction this chil- dren’s home has healed many wounds and protected the children against ter- rible misery. With regard to the misery of the children of the political victims in Poland and the Balkans the idea arose to establish in Germany an interna- tional children’s home for children of other countries. With the assistance of the workers of Thuringia the house in Elgersburg was fownd and bought by the Quieta society which rented the house to the IRA. After the build- ings were renovated, there are now a number of light and well aired sleep- ing rooms for 35 children, rooms for the employees, kitchen, bath, etc, and two side bulidings. A great garden offers to the children an opportunity to play in the open air. The building is situated amidst the forest. Reaction attempted to prevent the establishment of the children’s home. In the municipal council of Elgersburg the reactionary elements made an at- tack which was crushed by the com- munis. majority. Then the district in- spector prohibited the opening of the children’s home and the intehded cele- bration, As the reason he mentioned 4 regulation with regard to housing The prohibition caused a great exite- ment among the workers. In a few hours more than 1100 signatures were collected for a protest, A commission under the leadership of the mayor of Elgersburg was sent to the Ministry of Interior of Thuringia and on Bastor Sunday in the forenoon the confisca- tion of the building was finally can- celled, foreign children could not yet be sent to the home, so German children were accomodated in it. The inhabitants of Elgersburg received the children with great enthusiasm. On the sta- tion green gairlands were fastened with a sign “Long Live International Class Solidarity!” Workers Support Home The population of the surroundings has activily participated in the equip- ment of the home. Every child re- ceived a Russian blouse. The work- ers of the china factory provided the china, other workers provided pic- tures, vases, glasses, and for every child a red tie, and many other things. Although the prohibition of the dis- trict inspector had led to a public announcement that the celebration would not take place, because our comrades wanted to protect the chil- dren against possible violence on the part of the police, more than 2000 workers participated in the celebra- tion. They wanted to welcome the chil- dren of their class comrades. On the market square in Elgersburg the re- presentative of the International Red Aid made an inspiring speech and pointed out the significance of the childrens home as an expression of practical solidarity. Then the chair- man of the German Red Aid, Comrade Wilhelm Pieck spoke. He appreciated the political significance of the demon- stration, described the political situa- tion and appealed to the audience to continue their fight for final victory. The announcement of the abolition of the prohibition was welcomed with en- thusiasm. Workers singing clubs gave the demonstration a solemn character. Then a procession was formed to the children’s home. The children stood before the building awaiting the workers, Then the representative of the International Red Aid gave the home to the protection of the workers of Thuringia. The representative or the workers of Elgersburg made a speech in which he affirmed that they would defend the children's home to the last and see to it that none of the children would over suffer any injustice. After the mass chorus of the International the impressive demonstration came to an end. With the opening of this first Ger man children’s home of the IRA a monument of International solidarity has been establish which will be a shining example, Get a sub—make another Com- munist! UNION BARBERS — MUST TURN OUT Reaction Needs Lick- ing Once More The Progressive Barbers of Chica- go who have been charged with “con- spiring to disrupt the union” by the fakers who control the union in Chi- cago will go on trial before the mem- bership at the next meeting ‘of the union to take place on May 28, The reactionaries exasperated at the militancy of the progressive, des- perately grasped the last straw, and brazenly decided to get rid of these men who insisted that it was possible to maintain opinions contrary to those of the officials. Even tho, there is no evidence to prove that the progressives have ad- vocated at any time the disruption of the union, the officials assert that such is the case, Eight Militants On Trial The progressives under charges are Joseph Giganti, Isador Hitingon, A. D. Albright, Paul Petras, Amandus Knoph, Wm. Wolkowski, Ben Polk, and John Haas. The officials want summary expulsion, but it seems as if the rank and file of the union are not as anxious as the officials to get rid of their militants, The trial committee appointed to investigate the charges held its ses- sion last Thursday, and is expected to bring in a verdict of not guilty. At least, that is the opinion of the de- fendants, who when interviewed ex- pressed their faith in the fairness of the trial committee. Everybody Turns Out In view of our former experiences in similar cases we would recommend that each member of the Chicago Barbers Union be present at the next meeting and see that the progressives get a square deal. Shanghaied : ow Ship of Salmon Packers; Negro Swims Ashore By MIRIAM ALLEN deFORD. SAN FRANCISCO, May 24—The fight on the Alaska ‘‘hell ships” of the sal- mon packers has been renewed by sensational disclosures by Jacob Young, a contract slave who at the risk of his life dove off the receiving ship, City of Sidney, belonging to the Union Fish Co., in San Francisco bay, and swam to shore. Young told a story of men held by Spanish contracts they could not read, of advance wages mulcted for supplies bought from a notorious out- fitting firm in league with the pack- ers, of heavy fines for trivial offenses. All these evils had been known, but two bills aimed at their cure have been killed by Gov. Richardson. Young's further stories resulted in raids by city, county, state and federal authorities, and may cause the libel- ling of the barkentine, which holds 250 men kept in the bay until a full crew is assured for the Alaska trip. Supplies of liquor,-some poisonous, and of* dope were found on board. Young claimed that two women were also on board. They were not foun but there were plenty of their belong-' ings to prove his story true. Four men who could no longer stand being fined $10 every time they left their bunks at night, eating bad food in rusty tin dishes’ and paying 50c a pack for cheap cigarets agreed to jump over- board and swim to safety, but only Young, an educated Negro from Chi- cago, formerly a Ford employe in De- troit, finally made the plunge. Two other men asked the authorities to ar- rest them for their own safety. The Union Fish Co. denies all charges. “Make Wireless Work for Labor.” NEW YORK, May 24.—‘A chain of broadcasting stations thruout Aus- tralia, owned and controlled by the Union Movement,” is urgently recom- mended in the leading editorial of the April 10 issues of The Advocate, official organ of the Australian Rall- Ways Union, received here. “Make Wireless Work for Labor,” must be the slogan of the future, is the advice given unionists It is pointed out that the capitalists are permeating the ether with mental poison to keep the workers.loyal and that the radio is actually used to break strikes.
