\ } WORKER TO TELL OF EXPULSION FROM MD, CAMP Miller to Speak at Phila., League Meet PHILADELPHIA, Pa., August 3.— ‘The Young Workers League of Phila- delphia will hold a protest mass meet- ing against the Citizens’ Military Training Camps and American im- perialism at Mercantile Hall, 849 N. Franklin St., on Friday, August 7, at 8 p. m. Comrade Yusem of the Young Work- ers League will act as chairman, Com- rade H. Miller who was just expelled from the Citizens’ Military Training} Camp for reading the Young Worker, will describe the harsh conditions and treatment of the young workers at Camp Meade, their militarization and their preparation for the great slaugh- ters impending in the interests of the big business of this country. Comrade Wicks of the Workers Party will speak on “Militarism and American Imperialism.” The American, the British, the Jap- anese capitalists look with greedy and jealous eyes upon the rich markets and fields of investment in China, in Africa, Asia, South America, andfrom this proceeds a mad race in arma- ments, in’ military training and prepa- ration for imperialist wars. The colonial peoples who are on the verge of revolt against foreign im- perialism must be enslaved by force of arms; the rival capitalist powers “who are seeking the same markets for the surplus products they have wrung from the exploited workers at home must be crushed. And America stands out today as the foremost imperialist nation. The rich and arrogant American bour- geoisie is planning great imperialist slaughters for the hegemony of the world, and the C. M. T. C. are but a part of their preparatiéns. The workers of Philadelphia should attend this meeting, and make of it a real mass demonstration against capi- talist militarism. Wisconsin Federation Adjourns. LAKE GENEVA, Wis., August 3.— Re-electing Henry Ohl, Jr., president, and J. J.

The 1926 meet- ing will be held in Green Bay next July, Resolutions denouncing the prison labor system of the state (mak- ing goods to compete with free labor in the open market), advocating great- er trade union demand for union label goods and censuring the university re- ~“gents for accepting a donation from the Rockefeller Foundation featured the convention. Fell from Truck; Speaks. K4NSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 3.—Phys- icians are closely watching the condi- tion today of Junior Towne, 6, deaf and dumb since birth, whose fall from a truck late yesterday is believed to have restored his hearing. The boy's skull was fractured. Doctors say if symptoms at the hospital last night continue, the lad’s hearing probably will return and he may speak.

Attempt to Create Prejudice. ‘The result is that Jewesses change their names, sectire’ positions, when jobs are not too scarce, become profi- cient, and hold their,jobs.. Negro girls who are not to easily distinguished are forced to live their, working hours as “white” and their \off-periods as black. As for the Christian girls, they have the inside track on the’ majority of va- cancies, but it is not! txpected that all ‘hristian girls will be guaranteed po- sitions until some time after hte year 10,000, barring of gaurse the little matter of the social reyalution, sched- uled for a date considerably closer to 1925. .

J., methodist preacher. Arrangements were said to have been made in a New Brunswick, N. J. railroad station, between Miss Margaret Roberts, of Trenton, N. J., Zeigler, his wife and William M. Chamberlin, one time fiance of Miss Roberts, whereby Mrs. Zeigler was to file suit for divorce against her husband, Chamberlin to renounce all claim to Miss Roberts, and the former preacher marry her. Attempts to find Zeigler in Tren- ton for service of the papers was unsuccessful, according to police, so the rch was extended here. Chamberlin recently found Zeigler and Miss Roberts in Ei Paso, Texas, and a ku klux klan representative brought them back. Zeigler was a klan representative, others ahead of them die off or get married. * But race passions make such a very pleasant red herring.

According to Busi- ness Agent Garfield, the owner paid the union scale to a few union men but was preparing to discharge them as cheaper labor became available. The agreement provided for a mini- mum of $20 a week for waiters and $25 for countermen on 9-hour day and 6-day week. The union has a membership of 300 and is a branch of Local 7 with a membership of 1,500, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Child Plays With Candle; Dies.

Between the bosses and the labor fakers they cannot escape it. The American Federation of Labor is starting, a plan to sell death bene- fits to mei ‘s of organized labor, in view of the’ fact that the unions, un- der the misleadership of the union bureaucraty, the benefits the mem- bers get “while living are vanishing under ieee «ea of the employers without @ it of magnitude and de- termination. These employers, however, have some schemes of their own about death bene’ its for the workers—de- rived from’ @xactly the same idea as are the schemes of the labor fakers. The employers, too, knowing that the advantages, of better wages and hours are the things most desired by the workers, yet intend to prevent the workers getting these advantages. As something “just as good” they promise them, just as the labor fakers do— death benefits. Death Becoming Desirable Recently, for example, 60,000 men and women railroad workers employ- ed by the Louisville and Nashville, the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis, and the Louisville, Henderson and St. Paul, have been,‘willy nilly, insured by their bosses. These companies have made a deal with the Prudential company to insure all their employes. For those earning less than $100 a month, a life insur- ance of $1,000 will be taken out. Those earning from $100 to $175 monthly will be insured for $2,000 and those above $175 will “be permitted” —as the report States, the great boon of getting $3,000 when they die. No medical examination is required, and the policies, for all will be effective when 75 percent of the employes ac- cept the me. Boss Will “Bear the Burden” of ee Control naturally, , that the workers them- selves are gaked to pay the premiums in part—the companies will, so it is announced—#bear the remaining ex- pense and; wal] undertake the account- ing and clerical, work.” What the proportions of the prem- iums are which the workers pay, might be interesting, but even this Qoint is ne ii sting as the fact that the pot One fly- tae ointment is, quite panies, out of the boundless generosity of their nearts (1!) offer to do’ the “accounting and clericdl-work.” In plain English, they offer {6 control the funds, not only keeping, in their hands the pre- miums pal by themselves and also those paid by the workers, but in ad- dition the companies will have the power to pay-—or not to pay—the benefits. A, Nice Looking Trap Now, one,,need not argue further with the resnee worker who knows well enough 0 what such a control will lead, in power to coerce the work- ers to’rem#fin*“oyal” to the company, to didcriniffiate against active union- ists and “red agitators" and to hold the whip ofloss of premiums over the workers when they threaten strike, and so on. However, the workers are not with- out remedy in this dilemma, which poses the question of being victimized by the bosses or led into class col- laboration and defeat by their labor fakers all in the name of insurance. What to Do if You Must Die Granting the desirability of life in- surance, the workers must reject com- pletely the poison proposal of the em- ployers to trap them into a position of helplessness and inability to fight. Equally, the°workers, especially the membership of the unions, must vigil- antly demand “that'the union bureau- cracy cease to regird life insurance as a substitute for class struggle against the bosses, and that all such “business” be taken completely out of the hands of the officialdom and put into the hands of the membership un- der real contréf by them, upon a basis of genuine c rative management. Must Control! Unions, Too Nor will the movement ever be secure from gqrruption by the pres ent reactionary;bureaucrecy, until the membership of,.the unions, following .| the program of.the Trade Union Edu- cational League, oust the old reaction- ary leadership’ §nd establish a leader- ship which wilf fight for working class interests and Ht evade the struggle by abandoning! the fight for wages and hours*and goimg into the banking and insurance business to “insure” their high salaries in the face of falling treasuries and loss of membership.

Never was there such a demand for Communist books and pamphlets as there is today. Every mail brings jetters from workers thruout the country for books on all pha of Communism. Workers whose curiosity has been excited by world events, by China, by talk of the “reds,” are writing, asking just what are Communist. principles and just what the Workers (Communist) Party stands for. As a result thousands of books and pamphlets leave the office to give information on every phase of Communism and on all angles of the world labor movement. THE DAILY WORKER PUBLISHING CO.is now thoroly understood and well known as “the source of all Communist liter- ature” in thie country. SOVIET GOVERNMENT INCOME THIS YEAR ALMOST TWO BILLION DOLLARS MOSCOW, Aug. 3.—The Soviet government's budget, now before the council of commissaries is almost two billons of dollars, or about three hun- dred millions more than the 1913 budget of the Czar’s government. It exceeds last year’s budget by sevent hundred million dollars. Revenue from the sale of spirits is only fifty per cent of what the czar gathered in on the sale of vodka. the support and development of Soviet industry. Extraordinary appropriations are made for improvement in the agricul- tural industry. All are agreed now that the Soviet Union is economically on the upgrade and tho her position diplomatically is by no means easy, her ability to resist attack was never at a higher pitch. And it is con- stantly improving.

The Official Report of the NEGRO CHAMPIO WIDELY READ BY RACE PRISONERS The American Negro Labor con- gress office has recently received three letters from Negro workers in Leavenworth, stating that they had seen in the DAILY WORKER a notice of the launching of the Negro Champ ion and requesting sample copies. One of the letters stated: “The way you have handled Paul Crouch’s case has with little further explanation awakened many of the colored boys, and especially ex-sol- diers, as to who their real champion pad Another says, “I notice in the D. W, that the Negro Congress founded the new publication, and am _ satisfiea from its origin that it is the real champion of the Negro’ workers. There are six or seven hundred of us Negro workers in here at present, many left wingers, altho not as mane as there should be, but sufficient to disillusion any of Marcus Garvey's ad- herents who had chloroformed them- selves into thinking that Garvey was their savior. I am 23 years old and am sentenced to life by courtmarttial.” The other says, “. . . As there are 600 or 700 Negroes of the more cosmopolitan type here at this time, I am satisfied that if you could see your way clear to send me a few is- sues, so that I would be able to show it to the boys, that they would readily see it advantage over the Chicago De- fender and kindred publications.” The American Negro Labor Con- gress at 19 S. Lincoln St., Chicago, would be very pleased to receive con- tributions which would allow these workers to be put on the regular sub- scription list.
