RS Real Labor Solidarity The DAILY WORKER, and with: it the entire body of union labor interested in attaining trade union unity against the capitalist class, hails the action of three Chicago lodges of the International Association of Machinists, and the resolution of the Chicago Federa- tion of Labor in support of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, and in condemnation of the scabbing of the United Garment Workers, as a step of genuine labor solidarity. The executive committee of the Chicago Federation of Labor) is to be commended for its action, however long the men and women on the picket line waited for such deserved support in their bitter struggle to maintain their union. But above all are to be praised the militant unionists who go to the rank and file of the Chicago labor movement, explaining to them the issues of union scabbery versus class solidarity. The members of the Trade Union Educational League in the Machinists’ and in other unions are to be praised for raising the issue, and thus bring- ing the union men and women of Chicago who are not in touch with or do not comprehend the gravity of the offense of the United Gar- ment Workers, into consciousness of their class duty. Without this sort of mass understanding, the offenders against labor solidarity can go along indifferent to committees or investiga- <> 20 tions from the American Federation of Labor, thru which President} William Green will probably delay results until after the strike is all over. The executive of the Chicago Federation has taken the correct stand, but the DAILY WORKER wishes to accent the fact that the struggle for labor union principles in this case, as in all others, rests primarily upon the members of the left wing, and led by the Trade Union Educational League. Auto Workers’ Wages In the automobile industry, as in many others, the employers ars beginning tp take the offensive against the standards of living of the workers. In the coal mines, there is a union to fight back, granted that the leadership of John L. Lewis can be pushed ahead by the rank and file and made to break away from collaboration with the oper- ators. The U. M. W. of A. is now demanding, just by reason of this mass force from below in the union, an increase, even if only of ten per cent, from the,-coal barons of the anthracite, fo industry the union is n6t so well organized, tho Ea. it is better and more courageously led. The auto’workers, who have thought, perhaps, that because their particular industry was thriv- dng and becanse that they had been getting good pay, that they always would and that god or somebody else than their own unified powers would surely guarantee their wages and hours—these work- ers are finding out their mistake. The Fisher Body company has laid down the most savage wage cuts upon their workers, and if the Fisher company is successful, the auto workers of Detroit can be sure that other firms will biaeovt suit and probably pass the low record. The Auto Workers’ Union is courageously fighting to organize | the workers, and if the workers are at last aroused from their indif-| ference, and are willing to fight for their wages and conditions, their chance is ample and the union they enter is ready to lead the struggle. George Bernard Shaw has written another alleged attack on) Communism for the Hearst press.

Thus the lass battle of Chigese labor is turned against native as well as alien exploiters. General Chang Tso-lin, the Japanese ‘catspaw, who has been | rather timid in his moves daring the last few weeks, is now reported | to have issued a “strong proclamation,” which the imperialist press reports definitely places the Mukden war lord on the side of “peace and order,” jean phrase, “law and order.” This means that ‘strikes will be forbidden, the privilege of hold- ing meetings will be denied, working class literature will be con- traband, while military jails will ever be hungry to receive the spokesmen of the Chinese workers Warships of all nationalities ride at anchor in all the Chinese ports ready to see that the cap- italist dictatorship that has fought American labor in bloody wars in West Virginia, Colorado, at Gary, Indiana, and Pittsburgh, Pa., keeps up its murderous record. The solidarity of the Chinese workers*alone can stand against this new offensive of the Chinese traitor, Chang Tso-lin, supported by foreign bayonets. The few merchants who originally joined the workers’ movement against foreign tyranny have deserted becanse the continued struggle “hurt business.” The nationalist. revolution thus takes on the aspects of the class war, of the workers’ revolu- tion. It is this revolution that will in time bring the only real “peace and order” to China, with the ousting of all capitalists. Chinese labor must bend to the struggle and win the victory. John D. Rockefeller, Sr., has just “sold”.four of his palatial palaces to his for something like $3,000,000.00.. Workers will justly ask where John D. Jr., got the three million) since he has never done a day’s work in his life. They will find that he got the three million in profits from oil stock handed to him by his-father, the original. oil bandit. It’s a neat little game to continue the reigning money houses | of America. . But the workers will spoil it when they wake up and cease being slaves to any man.

Agricultural Progress Touching on the question of scient- ifle methods of agriculture employed by the peasants, Comrade Miglioli said: “The most characteristic feature in the development of peasant economy is its trend in the direction of co- operation and” of collective forms of cultivation in general. In a number of places we saw with our own eyes the progress of peasant economy, as, for instance, the grafting of vines, etc. “At every step we saw the able leadership of the agricultural organs of the government and of the cooper- ative organizations. “We were particularly struck by the activity of the peasants in the matter of cooperative credits. It shows the highest form of confidence on the part of the peasants, who in- vest their savings in the cooperative | credit organization. Although the co- | operative organizations at Telay have | only existed for a few months, they have already succeeded in attracting considerable numbers of peasants and in raising sufficient capital for their operations. Revolution Caused Peasant Advance “We believe that all the things which we have seen in Georgia, as for instance, the growing activeness of the peasantry, is the result of the | great transformation caused by the revolution in all the spheres of village | life: in economy, in the school, in pub- lic life, and in the home. “We engaged in conversation with the peasants at the village of Shilda, and the latter were extremely pleased to hear me say that the calumny and lies of the bourgeois papers of the West have been completely repudiat- ed by the actual realities which I had the opportunity to see for myself.” Peasants Fight Capitatism Miglioli is one of the oldest, organ- izers of the peasants’ movement in | Italy, the representative of the left | wing of the “Popolari” party. Com- ‘ade Migiioli has been and is waging an intense campaign against the agra- rian bourgeoisie and the reactionary parties of Italy. Massarenti is one of the active people in the left wing of the Italian social-democracy, who has become known as a determined op- ponent of fascism. Miglioli said further: “I am a jour- nalist and I'm glad to talk to you about my impressions and the things T have seen. “We came to the U. S.«S. R. to take part in the deliberations of the ple- nary session of the Peasants’ Inter- national, which notably embraces the revolutionary peasants’ movement of BIG “HANDS OFF | CHINA” MEETING HELD ON COAST Thousand Hear Tallentire Speak By AARON FISHERMAN, | (Special to The Daily Worker) SEATTLE, Wash., July 12—What | |is considered to be the largest at-| tended open air meeting for a long’ time was held under the auspices of | |the Workers Party on Occidental ave- |nue and Washington St. It was a most enthusiastic anti-imperialist | “hands off China” demonstration at-| tended by more than one thousand | workers. Norman Tallentire, Workers Party district organizer delivered the ad- dress dealing with the invasion of China by imperialists of the world dominated by Great Britain and now by the imperialists of the United States. He traced the rise of the na- tionalist movement dominated and guided by the Kuomintang built up under the leadership of Sun Yat Sen and the awakening of the pro- letarian class of China. Tallentire explained the meaning of the conflict going on there. He was enthusiast- »\ically applauded. The sentiment of the crowd was one of the best expressions of class solidarity with the Chinese masses. A large collection was taken up and a large quantity of literature sold. Thousands of “hands off China” leat- lets were given away free. Next Saturday night, July 18, an- other large meeting is being contem- plated by workers united front or- ganizations in the same place and it is anticipated that thousands of workers will be in attendance at this demonstration. | One all countries without ajstinction of; workers and peasants and the govern- party politics, religios etc. “Our participation in: revolution- ary Peasants’ International shows that we are working inthe direction of getting the peasant masses of Italy to join the fight against capitalism. Toured U. S, S. R. “After the completion of the work of the plenary session we profited by the kind offer of the Peasants’ Inter- national to take a tour thru the U. S. S. R., which has enabled us to get a closer acquaintance with the state of agriculture and the forms of peasant economy in U. 8. 8, R. While at Kiev, we visited several Villages, agri- cultural experimental! stations, Soviet farms, etc. At Kharltov'we attended the congress of the Ukrainian Soviets, where we spoke on somé ‘questions of policy that are of intefest to the work- ers and peasants of ae r: 5. S. R. and Italy. “At Rostov we got* the opportunity to take a trip to the Don district where we saw the prevailing forms of peasant organization, the Soviet farms the cooperative organizations and the communes as well a® the individual farms, gaining a complete understand- ing of the development of: agriculture in the district. “Interested at the same’time in the labor movement, we inspected at Ro- stov the ‘Aksai’ agricultural machin- ery works. In our ‘talks with the workmen and the red ‘directors, as you call them, we were struck by the unanimity and cordiality existing be- tween the administration and the workers. Kept Press Libels Soviet “In Tiflis we paid a visit to Comrade Nazareftan, acting chairman of the Caucasian Council of People’s Com- missaries, and to Comrade Djudeli, acting chairman of the Georgian Coun- cil of People’s Commissaries. “In our conversation we touched upon questions of local industry and agriculture, and also on questions af- fecting the libelling campaign. of the bourgeois press about Georgia and the U.S Be In regard to the results of his tour of observation, Comrade Miglioli char- acterized the situation in°U. S. S. R. as follows: “The progress of agriculture is noti- ceable in the increasing growth of upward trend of peasant’economy in agricultural cooperation and in the general. Considerable success has been recorded in the consumers’ co- operative organization... “I cannot help considering as mar- velous the successes of the U.S. S. R. Ke all the fronts...

Two members of. the Workers (Communist) Party, Irving Search and J. K. Dante, who were arrested last Thursday night at a street meet- ing on the corner of 14th St., and 49th Court, will appear in the Cicero police station 25th St., and 50th Ave., this morning for a hearing. The Communists were arrested after a crowd of Cicero gunmen, and a few middle class church goers, led by a Lithuanian priest, attacked the open air speakers, hurling bricks and threatening the speakers with viol- ence, The speakers were Irving Search, who spoke on conditions in the West- ern Electric company, D. E. Early, who explained the attempts of the world imperialists to enslave the co- lonial peoples, M. Zaldotis, who spoke in Lithuanian and G. Geller, of De- troit. Search was arrested after he had concluded his speech, but the meeting was continued to the end. Dante, who was attacked by the gunmen, had not yet spoken. Another meeting will be held on the same corner next Thursday night, and speakers should report to Charles Erickson, secretary of the Cicero En- glish branch, which conducts the meetings. speaker and was likewise greeted with a long ovation. Every mention of Mussolini and the fascist government of Italy was drowned in flood of boos and loud re- sentment, This meeting was a splendid exam- ple of the bitter anti-fascist senti- ment existing among the Italian work- ers of Philadelphia and stands as an obstacle to every effort of the fascist organizations to establish foothold in this city, For the last three years the police have against the ieee with the result t way and strengtl ea iy Commu- nists are the | spirit in this movement and | ‘ized by the workers as suc!
