ae tee > ———! WAR LORDS ARE FLIRTING WITH KANSAS CITY, MO. To Be an Aircraft and “Munition Center By E. HUGO OEHLER KANSAS CITY, MO. July 19.— A two million dollar airplane syndicate will locate in this city with Anthony Fokker, manufacturer and inventor of the Fokker plane and a group of American capitalist as it’s guiding force, The city is favored as an air- craft center says a local paper be- cause it gives, “Greater security in time of war from enemy aircraft,” with, “Exceptionally favorable labor conditions and a good supply of train- ed woodworking and metal mechanics needed in aircraft production.” The backers of the Fokker project expect to be able to turn out 1000 planes a year in this strategical posi- tion for such development in time of peace and more in time of war. It is well remembered that the | Dutch airplane builder's planes were { the effective and exclusive weapon of the Germans and in the world war. But Germany is now a disarmed bour- geouise state while the United States is an ever increasing arming state. In times of peace the commercial be- nefits will be theirs and in time ot | war, ‘the exceptionally favorable labor’ will be making planes to be used to gas and bomb workers in other parts of the world, so legal robbery may continue. But airplanes is not all for it was not so long ago that a K. U. proffesor in discussing the economic develop- ment of the territory said that Kan- sas City is a logical munition center. From our packing plants, fats and oils for our soap industry that in turn yeild a by-product of Glycerin and in the near"by districts the roast- ing of zinc sulfide can yeild large quantities of sulfuric acid. The two combined with nitric acid furnishes a substaneial output of nitroglyceri- ne. «In the wars to come it looks as though Kansas City will play a deci- sive role in the service of the war as an inland city that contri butes it’s labor power for the further- of aggressive capitalism. All week in the factories and plants war goods will be turned out by proud slaves and on the sabbath they will praise their God and ask him for sup- pert in their bloody wars of imperia- lism. lords ance Important Meeting of Douglas Park Branch Tonight At the next meeting of the Douglas Park English branch, Monday, July 20, many important matters will be taken up, such as the support of the International Labor Defense, DAILY WORKER drive, press picnic, indus: tria activity.

July 19.—The Utica mine buildings are threatened by the three great forest fires that are raging in West Kootenay in the Rocky Mountain section of western Canada. The fire covers 75 square miles and is being spread by high winds, The Scopes’ trial and pgsition of Communists on religion and evolution as contrasted with the bourgeois atti- tude; free masonry and membership of Communists in such organizations, organization of a “stand by Soviet Russia” and “Hands Off China” meet- ing were among the many matters dis- cussed at the Chicago C.

(See other columns for details.) 25,000 anti-militarist leaf- lets and other pluggers are being dis- tributed for the occasion. Evolution Meeting Planned. It was decided to organize as soon as possible a mass meeting on the Scopes trial, in order to bring out the attitude of the Communists. to- ward religion and science. The evo- lution trial in Dayton, Tenn., offers a splendid opportunity for the Commun- ists to explain the origin of the idea of gods, religion, the development of the sciences, the relation of these | developments and phenomena in the | field of sociology and so on. Announce- ment of the date of meeting will ap- pear later. In this connection came up also the | matter of membership of freemasons in a Communist organization. This |question was a mooted one at the |} fourth congress of the Comintern in |relation to the French and Italian | Parties. The Comintern and its sec- | tions stand unqualifiedly opposed to {Communists being members of such organizations, which are nothing else but organizations of capitalism of a religious, political, economic and so- cial character and Communists have nothing to gain by participation in such bodies. Membership in them is forbidden by the party. Communist Press Picnic August 2. In these hot days the tendency to slacken in the drive for the DAILY WORKER must be counteracted. The press picnic on August 2, offers op- portunity to raise some needed hun- dreds of dollars for the benefit of the DAILY WORKER and the rest of the party and league press. Every party unit is electing its spe- cial committee to participate in the gigantic press picnic on August 2, in Riverview Park, Progress of Labor Defense activity and development of plans for building immediate membership organizations of International Labor Defense were reported upon and all party units are being sent special instructions on how to proceed. The party will do its utmost to do its share in building a mass non-parti- san mass organization.

And the reason for it was that a white man sold a house and lot to a human being of color by the name Alexander, said to be boss among his own people. This rappened in spite of the fact that Mr. Alexander had not moved into the iouse—and never intended to do, so. The former owner—after having sold the property, rented the house, and lived there with his family. There- fore in, the case the man of a “super- ior” race got the worst of it. He was roughly handled, furniture thrown in- to the street, police, and all that. So we not only have a trinity of perils here, Red, yellow and black, but also a trinity of K’s. Blames K. K. K. and Barbers The Doran street school in Glen- dale, a suburb of Los Angeles, took fire 5 times inside of a few days. Now a man of color, Jesse Riley, is said to have “confessed” under a grilling (third degree) of the police. He did it in revenge, according to the report, because several barber shops had drawn the color line and refused to éut his hair, adding that he believed the K. K. K. was behind the action of the barbers. Riley is charged with arson. Portugal Ministry Resigns LISBON, July 19.—M.

LOS ANGELES, July 19.—The mid- night mission, haven of destitute men, is surpassing former records. It is filled to capacity every night. As a rule, at this time of the year some relief is felt in the crowding of men in the shelter, but that is not the case in 1925. When the building is emptied of its human contents every morning there is no standing room not occu- pied on the sidewalk in front. Real Prosperity. Practically all the unfortunate men are abled-bodied and in the prime of life. Anxious to work but seeing no employment in prospect, they look blankly about them, Somehow, the two A. F, of L. papers of this city rejoice over the situation of these indigents. They point to them as proofs that prosperty groks cool with Coolidge and hint that condi- tions would be better under LaFol- lette or his successors. But the fake labor organs fail to note that the growing army of un- employed is a sure sign of improve- ment in Los Angeles. As the cheapest labor market in the United States un- employment means real prosperity for those who control the city. Coolidge prosperity for Los Angeles employers is just plenty of labor at any price they care to pay for it. It is here’ to stay for sometime.
