Birds of a Feather re “doing their stuff” against the Three prominent labor fakers radicals at this moment to the great delight of the bosses. ; William Johnston; alias “B. & O, Bill” of therIntertational Association of Machinis fter stealing the election from his op ponent, J. I’, Anderson, has decided to expel all known Communists and progressives from the international union. . He. has already started by expelling Anderson. Sidney Hillm erstwhile progressi the book of the A. F. of. labor fakers « s using the:traditional methods of the reactionaries to maintain himself in office. Hillman not only has radicals expelled from the union, but he uses policemen and sluggers to beat them into insensibility when they insist on their rights. The third member ‘of ‘this unholy trinity is George L. Berry, president of the International Printing Pressmen’s Union. Berry is a professional union strikebreaker. He not only broke a strike of the New York Web Pressmen’s Union, but he had David Simmons, the former president of that organization blacklisted, so that he could not find work at his trade. Thus the scoundrelly fakers de- scend to the lowest depth that any human being can crawl, that is, taking the bread and butter ont of the mouths-of men who are too honest to ply their crooked game. The three above-mentioned are only typical examples. . Those skates know very well that whenever there is a strike, the Commun- ists are always in the front of the line. Hillman knows that better than anybody else. If he wants to know what the Communists are doing in the strike against the International Tailoring Company in Chicago he can ask Sam Levin, who was obliged to admit privately that The DAILY WORKER was rendering splendid service to the union in this big strike. In fact it was The DAILY WORKER that opened up the cam- paign against the scabbery of the United Garment Workers and , forced Fitzpatrcik and Nockels reluctantly to take action, even tho Nockels exonerated Tom Rickert, declaring that he would do the same thing himself if he were in Rickert’s position. The Communists support the workers in strikes not because they have any desire to help the reactionary officials but because they want to help the rank and file improve their conditions. ‘The work- ers may be fooled for a while into believing the ‘Communists are not their friends, thru the misrepresentations of the reactionaries, but they will learn in time as the thousands of members of the Interna- itonal Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union are learning now, What is happening to Sigman will also be the lot of Hillman and “B. & O. Bill” Johnston. The arch-traitor George L. Berry will not escape either. Why the Note Was Not Sent Quite recently the capitalist papers used scare headlines in featuring the intention of the British government and other, Europ- ean powers to send a Joint Note ‘to Russia warning that country that it must outlaw the Communist International unless it was ready to break with its capitalist neighbors. The note was never sent. The diplomatic correspondent of the London Daily Herald, W. N. Ewer, gives the reasons in a recent issue of that paper. nouncement of joint action was made prematurely because the Birk- enhead wing of the cabinet desired to force matters. office had not made the necessary diplomatic preparation ,for the joint. offensive ‘against Russia. .Italy refused point blank to have anything to do with it. France sent a sympathetic reply. to the British invitation, but outside of politeness, there wag,nothing in the French note that would indicate co-operation. The Germans were willing to bargain but even the present mon- archist clique in Berlin dares not go too far in playing, with Britain against Soviet Russia. Britain started out by bribing the easily bribed Parisian papers. When the clink fo British gold made itself felt in the editorial rooms of the Paris reactionary newspapers, the anti-Soviet thunder was turned loose. P The Echo de Paris said: “The only music that counts, in face of Communist barbarism, is that of the heavy guns trained on the horizon of Cornstadt, from turrets of the British cruisers.” Another paper called for a “world crusade against Bolshevism, and still another showed what was back of the heads of those who framed the security pact when it blurted out: “The anti-Soviet bloc of which the London cabinet is thinking must include Germany if it is to be complete. That is the real meaning of the pact, the secret and profound reason for its existence.” And the British cabinet, isolated in China thru the consequences of its own imperialist stupidity and greed did not dare risk another isolation over Russia: In addition to those reasons British labor served notice on the tory cabinet that several millions of British workers would have something tq say in the matter. So the note was never sent, A Good Place to Start The Chicago Tribune. is constantly calling @ttention to the de- plorable lack of order that prevails in other countries, particularly in those countries on whieh American capitalism has cast its eagle eye. Whenev thieving agent of the oil companies gets into trouble in Mexico, the Trib spreads out its wings and calls for an invasion of the Mexican republic. But even the: Tribune has to admit that there is.a lot of clean- ing-up to be done at-home. We would like to know what the Russian workers and peasants will think of the following editerial excerpt from the Chicago Triburie, of July ~The administration of justice is flat on its back here and else- where in this country and criminals are on top of it, sticking their fingers in its eyes. Our murderers, panderers, rapists, pickpockets #nd thugs walk out of court, out of jail, out of the penitentiary. The Jaw cannot punish them. They are bosses of this state.” Now, it is passing strange that such a state of affairs could exist in this blessed land of capitalism, Rapists walking out of court! Panderers going scott, fre We thought such things could only happen in a country “cursed” with Bolshevism. But it must be + The great Tribune admits it. We suggest in all sincerity that the next time the editor of the Tri is seized with an insatiable thirst for human blood, t he takes his eyes off Mexico and chase the rapists and the panderers. Or better still, instead of shooting them, he might give them a lee- ture on the beauties of capitalist civilization, The ku klux klan is splitting up into as many fragments as there are fleas ona dog.

The paper is copyrighted | by the Fairchild News Service, a cor- poration closely linked up with the garment bosses’ associations. De Novi Tells of Arrest. Mike De Novi, business agent of the union, told the DAILY WORKER of his arrest at the hands of the police sluggers, who handled him roughly. “[ have been in America eighteen years,” said De Novi, “and I came here thinking I would find libérty. Instead I find that strikers are beaten when they demand decent working conditions.” “White Collar’ Workers Threaten Nation-wide Strike in France 2 PARIS, July 2 France faced a possible strike of “white collar” work- ers today.

He will not have much trouble in hand- ling the situation as long as the miners leave John L. Lewis in charge of the union. Lewis declared once be- fore that he could not fight the gov- ernment. He still thinks that is the best thing hé ever said. Gompers did not think so when Lewis’ ran against him for president at the Denver con- vention. But Gomipers was: only pos- ing, as usual.

John Philip Hill (R), of Maryland, in a statement issued here today brand- ed the reorganization of federal pro- hibition methods as an “effort to es- cape national scandal.” “In proceeding to clean house in this fashion,” said the Maryland wet lead- er, “a roundabout course is being pur- sued so that the dirty linen will not have to be washed in public.

ARE FINED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS Quoted from Industrial Relations Report F, G. Biedenkapp and M. Marek ap- peared in the Superior Ave. police court Friday morning to answer charges of disorderly conduct made by the policeman who arrested them Saturday, July 18, on the corner of Mil- waukee and Division where the two were holding a street meeting. At- torney Bentall appeared for the de- tendants. The defendants were called before Judge Richardson, He asked Biedenkapp what he worked at. Bie- denkapp replied that he was a labor organizer. The officer who made the arrests had nothing to submit to prove dis- orderly conduct except a leaflet that Biedenkapp had quoted from while speaking. The: leaflet contained four points taken from the famous report of the industrial relations’ commis- sino made to the president of the United States in 1912. The points were headed: “Four Causes of Indus- trial Unrest” and were as follows: 1. Unjust distribution of wealth and income. 2. Denial of justice in and administration of law. 8. Denial of the right tunity to earn a living. 4. Denial of the right to form ef- fective labor organizations. After discovering that the men be- fore him were labor agitators, the judge took a sudden interest in the leaflet. He read it over carefully. Looking up with a not at all pleasan’ look on his face he said nothing but “I fine the defendants in this case $100.00 and costs.” But that isn’t where the case is go- ing to stand. Attorney Bentall is sore as a boil. He immediately appealed the case and it will come up again. It is interesting tq know that the! complaint that caused the arrest of Marek and Biedenkapp ‘Was lodged by a banker named John Smolsky whose bank stands on the corner where the meeting occurred.
