HIGHEST AIM IS TO FIGHT COMMUNISM Springheld, Mass., Like Dayton, Tenn. By WM. SIMONS. NEW HAVEN, Conn. July 24-— Springfield, Mass., Is quite a reaction- ary town. They have balked the run- ning of movies showing conditions In Soviet Russia... At the Lenin Memor- jal meeting In 1924 the hall wagpfilled with cops, after the mayor had threat- ened to prohibit the meeting. Capitalist Press Principles. The Springfield union has achieved fame since then by placing its creed at the top of the editorial page. It calls it “a patriotic creed.” “To these purposes of the sentinels of the repub- lic the Springfield union subscribes: “To maintain the fundamental prin- ciples of the American constitution. “To oppose further federal en- croachment upon the reserved rights of the states and of the individual citizen. “To stop the spread of Communism. “To prevent the concentration of power in Washington thru the multi- plication of administrative bureaus under a perverted interpretation of the general welfare claune. “To help preserve a free republican form of government in the United States.” We're on Top. These five points form a pyramid, with one and five as a base, two and four balancing on the next step, and point three is at the peak. To pre- vent the spread of Communism be- comes their highest aim, and so it is. They attempt to sandwich the point in between the others, but they -can- not conceal that this is their primary object. Recently the writer spoke at the Post office in Springfield on the sub- ject, “Hands off China,” and the only comment they made the next day was that instead of talking entirely on China, the speaker referred to condi- tions in this country and paid his respects to the local press. A crime ‘p talk about conditions in America. The challenge of the union has been met with the institution of open air meetings, and an intensification of party activity in Springfield.

The paper went like hot cakes, Organization, and willingness to work, is all that Is necessary to get thousands of DAILY WORKER readers in this city. Communism the Thing. A restaurant owner, George E ...., who has just renewed his Sub. for one year said: “We used to be S. L. P. comrades and wobblies, didn’t we?—But now Communism is the thing.—That’s better yet. That's evo- lution,” he added. : It may be that fear of this kind of evolution is the srtangest in- centive back to the monkey trial in Tenn But, anyhow, there is no monkey-business connected with George’s red tendencies. He makes his dining-room a center for “dangerous” propaganda. Man Broke But DAILY WORKER Sold, The next place visited was a pool hall. “! am broke,” said a slave, “No work".—"Then you have time to read”, was the answer. “Take the paper!”—“Thanks”.—Another man in the same place did not like to see anyone get something for nothing. He said so too. And, seemingly. for this reason alone bought a copy for himself. How. New Readers Are Made.

PRIZE RUSSIAN ART EXHIBIT AND VETCHERINKA IN CHICAGO AUG. 22-23 FOR INTERNATIONAL WORKERS’ AID An exhibition of Russian “koustarni” work, which won first prize at the Panama-Pacific World's Fair, and which has graced the art galleries of many of our principal cities, will be made available for the first time to Chicago’s workers at a two-day exhibition and “vetcherinka” to be given at Workers’ Lyceum, 2733 Hirsch Blvd., on August 22 and 23, for the bene- in their practice, altho | « EFFORTS TO DIG OUT ENTOMBED MINERS G0 ON ROCKWOOD, Tenn., July 24,—With two bodies already recovered, rescue workers here today renewed their ef- forts to reach the other entombed men, who were trapped by two mys- terious explosions in the Roane Iron company’s mine here Thursday. The victims were identified as Claude Tindle and Raymond Watkins, their bodies being horribly mangled by the explosion. The men were found nearly 800 feet from the scene of the explosion, and were believed by rescue workers to have been blown that distance by the explosion. The eight men now entombed are believed to be dead, mine officials as- sert. Philadelphia, Notice! Weber Printing Co. 350 N. FIFTH STREET, Philadelphia, Pa.

The exhibition includes thousands of dollars worth of rare old laces, bedspreads, table covers, tapestries, jewelry, as well as authentic copies of some of the most famous paintings in Russian galleries. The non-essen- tial embroidered frippery of the leizure class woman is contrasted with the wondrously rich creative taste of the peasant woman whose blouses and aprons are the marvel of the whole world. A feature of the exhibition is a whole series of puppet dolls, costumed true to the life of various castes of the old Russia, and made by the first artel of the Mos- cow Art Theater. The first night, August 22, will be “Ukrainian Night,” and all arrange: ments are in the hands of the Ukrain- ian branch. There will be, for enter- tainment, a 20-piece Ukraiftian mando- lin orchestra, in costume, as well as a chorus and a group of dancers, Re- citations and songs will be given in inimitable native style. The second night, August 23, will be “Russian Night,” in charge of the Russian branch, and here too the pro gram will include music, song and dance native to revolutionary Rus- sia. “Capusta” and “Piroshki” Refreshments on both nights wil. be likewise out of the ordinary to non Russian elements. For those whc bring along a husky appetite ther« will be delicious “galobz: chopper meat wrapped in “capust cabbagi leaves, and then cooked. For thos who -ordinarily must content them selves with a sandwich, there will b: instead real “vareniki,” or rolls con- taining chopped filling, and of course, for the humming birds there will be “piroshki” of three kinds, jelly, cheese or raisin, It goes without saying that real Russian “Tchai” wil be dispensed from steaming samovars, and that home-made “varenie” will be donated for the occasion to sweeten the event and the tea. All in all, this is going to be one of the most alluring social events ever held in Chicago. A good, unique program; a splendid educational treat in the exhibition; tasty and intriguing eats; real Russian-Ukrainian atmo- here; and an excellent cause—inter- national workers solidarity. Invita- tions will cost only 25 cents, When the capacity of the hall has been sold out, efforts will be made to stop fur- ther sale, but there is no guarantee against crowding. Those wanting to see the exhibition in greater detail and comfort, are advised to come ear- ly Saturday or Sunday afternoons, Competent guides will explain the ex- hibition periodically and in detail.

RASNICK DENTIS* 645 Smithfield Street THE DAILY WORKER CARRY FIGHT ON SiEMAN TO,CHICAGO (Continued from page 1) of the officials of the International. Not Merely a Looal Matter. “This quarrel is not a local mat- ter; it is a fight for control of our union by the rank and file which has been going on all over the country for years. With the Chicago mem- bers behind us we shall be certain of victory.” wid Sigman Seeks Support Only From the Police, Bosses.and Gangsters. Not a day passes in the struggle of the cloak and dress makers in which there are not important incidents. On the one hand there is still on the order of the day the report of the govefnor’s commission, It appears that on this report,not only the work- ers are gagging, but also the contrac- tors. On the other hand, there are continually new developments in the struggle against tWe ¢orrupt machine of the union, which becomes sharper every day. Regardless of tlie fact that the Sig- man machine has settled for itself the question of the tecommendation of the governor's commission, regardless of the fact that this machine has also carried thru the fake referendum, the question is far from settled. If Sig- man and his machine can satisfy themselves with the “favors” of the commission, the cloakmakers have shown they will not be able to swal- low them. General Strike in Offing. The sentiment for a general strike is spreading and it is clear that if this sentiment should reach a little further, a strike will surely break out. Tt is also certain that if a strike will break out from.the mass itself, then that strike will surely wipe out the official rule ofthe Sigman machine from the union, And such a strike will also have the necessary power to dictate new working conditions for the cloakmakers. The cloakmakers are not the only ones who cannot swallow the “favors” of the governor’s commission. Those favors are also choking the contrac- tors. Tuesday evening the contrac- tors’ association Had a stormy meet- ing on the question of whether they should accept the decision of the com- mission. According to that decision the con- tractors also haye received blows against their interests. The jobbers, who are the big capitalists, have won everything. The in demands of the contractors, ‘ag, for’ instance, the establishment of a standard cost of labor, were rejectéd. ; The meeting of the contractors de- cided therefore, to send out the de- cision of the governor’s commission to a referendum vote. Arrests, Fights, and Other Incidents. Seven workers were arrested Tues- day morning near the shop of Metch- es and Herbert, 164 W. 25th St. This firm attempted to test the power of the Joint Action Committee of the suspended locals, demanding of the workers in the shop that they should obey the orders of the Sigman-Fein- berg machine. ‘The workers declin- ed. The bosses attempted to dis- charge all who refused, saying they wanted to see who is who. The workers thereupon showed whom they stand with. Of the 30 workers, only a few cutters remain- ed scabbing in the shop. All others went out on strike and picketed the shop. Sigman’s Backers a Fine Lot. And so the Sigman machine con- centrated on this shop all its strength. And what does it consist of? Po- lice, gangsters, paid strong-arm men. ‘even pickets were arrested near the shop, but no dressmakers came to work. The arrested are Sasha Zim- nerman, secretary of the Joint Ac- tion Committee who works at that shop, Abraham Lupin, Kove, Green- berg, Anna Solomon, Emma Cohn, ind another girl, AN were released on bail pending trial Thursday, In the court yesterday also was the trial of the two gangsters who at- tacked George Stupekevich Tuesday. At the hearing inythe court it was shown that the gangsters are not even formally cloakmakers. They declar- ed that they were chauffeurs. But when they were asked for their 1i- censes they said they didn’t have them, Gangsters’ Trial Postponed. The lawyer of machine-gang- sters demanded of the court that they should be fined for disorderly conduct and the case dropped. But the law- yer for the Joint Aetion Committee said no, that to this proposition he could not agree. He-demanded a trial because if not the gangs will be at their work again, and it is very un- desirable that gangsters who do not even have a formal relation with the union should attack workers in the streets, The judge postponed the trial to the 5th of August. In the meantime, he ordered an investiga- tion of the records of the two Sig- man servants; tS The supposed enemy of Commun- ism and lover of bing, Mr. Fein- Sigman Joint berg, manager of.

The conference consists of labor unions, fraternal and sick benefit d societies, educational groups, branches and other working class organizations, Demand Freedom of Prisoners! Chicago, Ill, July 25. 1925 Alexander Skrzynski, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Poland. Dear Sir: Taking advantage of your presence in Chicago, the Chica go Conference to Aid Political Pris- oners in Poland hereby submits to you this open letter in regard to the imprisonment of over 8,000 workers, peasants and members of national minorities—Ukrainians and White Russians—for their part in the struggle for bread and freedom; for belonging to workers’, peasants’, and even purely educational organ- izations. The government of which you are a representative and 1 member is responsible for the imprisonment, torture, flogging and the murder, open and secret, of thousands of unarmed workers and peasants, These facts are reported not only by the illegal workers’ and peasants’ publications, but also by the semi- official Polish press. They prove that a monstrous and systematic white terror is being carried on by the government of which you are a member, Your government is treating the imprisoned workers and peasants worse than common criminals. Thru- out Poland hunger strikes have broken out, as the result of the denial of even the most elemental rights to political prisoners, as your colleague Thuggut has admitted. We, the Chicago Conference to Aid Political Prisoners in Poland, raise our voices in protest against these barbarous acts of the gov- ernment of the Polish bouregoisie, in order that the Polish worker and peasant masses may know that we are with them in their bitter strug- gle, and the American workers, learfing of the persecution of their brothers may, in the name of inter- national working-class solidarity, join in condemning the official re- ception extended by the U. S. gov- ernment to the representative of the oppressors of the Polish proletariat. We hope that the working class of Poland will in the near future open the doors of the prisons and free the heroes of the workers’ struggle. Freedom for political prisoners!
