=D ~ » may be used for this design, ot pat ‘RIOT AND CIVIL COMMOTION’ CRY AIDS INSURANCE Nurse Nervousness of Coal Mine Owners Coal operators, tho claiming to be unable to pay miners a living wage, are maintaining a select group of in- surance men in luxury, it appears from the admissions of a man who writes coal insurance all thru Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky and the coal ports of the great lakes. “While rates are high, especially on older mines, we make most money out ef a type of ‘insurance that was developed just ‘before’ the United States entered the world war,” says this underwriter who was not talking for publication. “At that time many coal operators feared that German “ spies were hiding under the tipples ready to blow up the ‘works at the first opportunity. To commercialize this fear a number of companies that insure mines and coal distributors de- vised the ‘riot and civil commotion’ Policy to cover~ bombing, physical damages to plant in labor disputes and so on. The premium is automat- ically tripled in case of strikes and mob activity. “It proved very profitable to the in- surance companies and since the war » We have carefully nursed the nervous- ness of the coal operators. The same policies extend to the costly unload- ing. machinery on the coal docks of , the -big lake parts and the same psy- chological care is taken to keep them in force. A strike or lockout is a godsend to the insurance men. There is as a rule practically no damage to property but the premiums jump to three times the stated rate which is quite high enough to be juicy.” The scheme is on the same order as the advantage taken by the Will- iam J. Burns and other detective agencies to bleed bankers and busi- ness men during the red hysteria. Low Wages, Hardships, Shoots Wife and Self LOS ANGELES, July 30. — Louis Gamble, 35, postoffice employe of Hawthorne (suburban town) shot his wife, 26, and himself leaving three children behind. Gamble slaved in the postoffice for the miserable pit- tance of $18.00 a week, his wife was a clerk in a shoe store. While father and mother were em- ployed the children roamed around as Dest they could. The couple were very much devoted to each other, the neighbors tell, but they had many arguments over the children, expenses, clothing, etc. At 5:30 one morning the children ran ‘screaming from the house. Neigh- bors found both parents dead. After’ shooting his wife, Gamble placed the barrel of the rifle in his own mouth and blew the top of his head off. N. Y. Workers Party Wins Against Cops as ei THE DAILY™=WORKER (Continued from Page 1) New York decided that it would test this right of the police. .It arranged the meeting last night, determined that it would go thru with it, no mat- ter what the police and Mayor Hylan decided to do. Krumbein Opens With Defi Comrade Krumbein, district organ- iger, opened the meeting, stating the purpose of the meeting and declaring that the meeting would be held no matter what happened, The first speaker was Comrade Am- ter, who stated that “the constitution of the United States guarantees free speech and free assemblage. We know that these are only abstract rights, and that'the capitalists have the right to use the streets, the public squares rand all halls of the city and are not disturbed. The workers will get these rights when, thru their organized might, they take the right to use the streets, We know that in Pennsylva- nia, ini West Virginia, where the United States Steel corporation rules, there is no such right for the workers. We know that on the western coast, the I. W. W, have to fight for the right of free speech, and many of their men are now in the prisons for demanding and fighting for these rights. Only One Country Where Workers Have Rights “The Workers (Communist) Party knows that there is only one country where the workers do not have to ask for the right to use the streets and public squares. That country is where the workers have established their political power and where they use their power to crush everything that is of the bourgeoisie. That country is Soviet Russia. Only when the Amer- ican workers and exploited farmers have established a ‘government of | stand their own in the United States—when they have established a Soviet govern- ment in the United States, will the right of free speech for the workers be uncontested.” Comrade Weinstone, the next speak- er, reviewed the varjous stages of the struggle of the Chinese people against foreign invasion’ and interference. Caaristic Russia, Germany,» England and the United States have conducted a plundering policy toward China since that date, depriving China of sovereign powers. Bxtra-territoriality is one of the rights of the foreign im- Perialists who do not recognize the Chinese courts, and in this right is ‘backed up by the organized military power of the governments. “America’s attitude toward China is that of honeyed words but brutal in action. It is time that the workers of the United States recognize what is going on in China. It is time for them to line up with their comrades in China against the imperialists. China has one friend—the workers and peas- ants of Soviet Russia, who following the guidance of Lenin will aid the Chinese people in the struggle against world imperialism.” Kuomintang Voices Its Ideals Dr. J. D, Lamb, representative of the Kuomintang, was the next speaker, and pictured the situation in China, “The Chinese are struggling for three ideas: ‘equality, freedom and demo- cracy.’ The capitalists are earning .

This 1s not right,” said the speaker, “and the workers of the United States must understand it.” Comrade Rebecca Greeht was the next speaker and declared that “the struggle of the colonial peoples against world imperialism is one of the signs that the world revolution is approaching. The protest of the Chinese workers is merely a symptom of what is happening in all parts of the world. The strike in Shanghai was the beginning of the general re- volt of the whole Chinese people, and they are determined not to stop till the foreign imperialists are driven out. But the Chinese workers realize that the fight is not against the workers of other countries. They know that the ruling countries are divided into two classes: the ruling class and the ruled class. They reach out their hands to the workers of all: countries in the common struggle. Soviet Rus- sia is the ally of the Chinese workers and peasants, as she is of all the op- pressed peoples of the world.” Comrade Darsy, representing the Young Workers League, depicted the methods and aims of imperialism. “We were told that the last war was the war to end all wars and to introduce democracy. If it was to be the last war, why did the United States gov- ernment in 1919, one year after the armistice, appropriate one billion dol- lars for aviation? Why is Europe more armed today than ever before? Because the armistice was merely an armistice for the allies to recuperate from the ravages of the war. Citizens Military Training Camps are means of mobilizing future armies, Defense day was a means of mobiliz- ing the workers for another war, The revolutionary youth of the world will side by side with the Chinese workers and peasants and will fight the workers and peasants have esta- blished Soviet governments the world over.” Browder Hails Purcell Visit Comrade Earl R. Browder was the last speaker of the meeting. He show- ed that the world is not divided geo- graphically but into two classes—the exploiters and tle exploited. He show- ed that all the trickery of the imperial- ists to stop the united front of the working class is failing. “The British labor movement was one of the most conservative some years ago. But in the last two years a new wave is moving over the British labor move- ment.',The left wing of the British trade-union movement is uniting with the Russian labor unions to effect a united front of the organized workers the world over. A representative of the Anglo-Russian trade union unity movement will soon come to this coun- try, and I hope that a crowd of work- ers many times this size will be pres- ent to greet him at the pier. “What is transpiring in China is a symbol of the world revolution. The nationalist revolution in China is but the prelude to the civil war that is bound to come in China, till the work- ers and peasants have assumed power and imperialism will have been swept from the face of the earth.” Pass Resolution The demonstration was enthusiastic from beginning to end, the speakers being interrupted by waves of ap- Plause. A resolution was adopted de- manding “Hands Off China, Stand by Soviet) Russia,” A resoundin; sounded thru the street when Com- rade Krumbein presented the resolu- tion for adoption, Singing the Inter- national the crowd of revolutionary workers marched down the street, much to the dismay of the police.

F. of L. to Stop U.S. Crimes WASHINGTON, D, C., July 30.— While Secretary of State Kellogg was denying that his department had ever issued statements that other powers had agreed to the American proposal for a conference of the nine powers on the slubject of revision of the Chinese treaties, President Green of the American Federation of Labor gave out the complete text of the ap- peal cabled him from the South China government at Canton, It reads as fol-| lows: | “First, Wu Pei Fu, and now Chang Tso-lin, came into power in nearly the whole of northern and central China. He camé to power because of the support given him by another group of imperialists, Now that ho is in power he continues to be more faithful to his foreign masters than to the aspirations of his own people ‘ike the rest of his predecessors he will be overthrown end so on ad in-| dnitum. “ | “This state of affairs, confused as it seems to the average foreign observer, has become perfectly clear to the thinking men of bur own country, We believe this confusion to be due to the unequal international status of China, We are certain that so long The|as the unequal treaties exist China will not be able to put her house in order, “Want Keys to Our Own House.” “Therefore we demand that our in- ternational status be forthwith chang- ed on the basis of equality with other nations. Our people demand nothing they are ready to accede to other nations—equality in internation- al relations, independence in the ex- ercise of their sovereign rights. This entails the abolition of extra- territorial rights, foreign jurisdiction, economic prvileges which are un- ilateral in their nature. “We demand ‘the reversion of the maritime customs to the nation that it might have the chance of adopting such economic policies as would ad- vance our economic development. We demand the keys to our own house. Once more the Wor is off the press. The struggles in the needle (in, bee! analysis of the tween the covers of this issue.
