Thig day, the first of its kind in the history of the American labor move- ment, will witness demonstrations in more that fifty of the largest cities of the country. At the mass meetings to be held on Sunday evening, speakers will present the case of the more than one hundred 6 war prisoners in American jails. a will ask support for Internatioal Labor Defense which ‘seeks to defend all workers attacked for performing their part in the class-struggle or for expressing their opinions. The fea- ture of the meetings will be the case of the 18 Zeigler, Ill., coal miners who are being tried for “Conspiracy to strike in which their own union offici- als betrayed them. I. L. D, is making MYSTERIOUS MAN LEAVES EUROPE IN HASTE ON SCAB LINER FROM SOUTHAMPTON TO NEW YORK CITY By HARRISON GEORGE. The strike of{the British seamen. against a wage cut of $5 a month was of no concern to af: least one passenger who sailed from Southampton Sept. 2 on the Majestic of the White Star line, which successfully avoided the mass of pickets on the Southampton docks with a tugboat load of scabs. When the London office of the White Star line was packed with frantic Americans fearful lest the Majestic would not be able to get scabs, there was one American, who remained calm and assured, along with the company officials, that the company would win+— — and the strikers would be thwarted. One Man Not Excited When the boat trains left London packed with passengers for the Ma- jestic, there was plenty of skepticism among Americans who feared that the strikers might prevent the boat from sailing. But ome American was un- perturbed. This one Amerfican, known to eyery reader of the DAILY WORKER, pass- ed with the other Americans, bankers, stock brokers, actresses, capitalist newspaper owners, thru the grim faced mass of Southampton’s striking seamen lining the docks in a solid mass. Many of these pickets were members of the Majestic’s crew who had left the ship. A few minutes be- fore this famous American was escort- ed thru the picket line ,another group of the Majestic’s men ran down the gang plank carrying their dunnage bags. “She can’t get away,” they told their buddies on the picket line, “she hasn't got enough crew.” The famous a nationwide issue of this flagrant al- liance of union bureucrats and mine owners in an attemp¢ to railroad a group of progressive, class conscious miners. Hold Local Conferences. The evening demonstrations will be preceded in the afternoon by local conferences. In these conferences will sit representatives from all manner of working class bodies, trade unions, benefit societies, co-operatives, etc. In addition, there will be present dele- gates from permanent individwal branches of International Labor De- fense. These latter are being formed at a rapid rate thruout the country. New York, for example has already close to fifty and Chicago forty-five, Perm- anent local central organizations of I. L. D. will be set up at the confer- ence and will be composed of branches of individual members and collective affiliations from other workers’ organ- izations. The local units thus set up will work under the supervision of the National Executive Committee of International Labor Defense which was established at the national conference held last June. The work of the locals will consist in agitating for the release of all class war prisoners, conducting special campaigns in behalf of special cases of labor persecution, raising funds for prisoner relief and for the care of class war prisoners’ families and resisting generally all attacks on workers regardless of their affiliations or views. Handles Many Cases. At the present time, International Labor Defense is confronted with many cases. Attempts to deport radi- cal workers of foreign birth, free- speech in Pennsylvania, trials in Michigan and Wést Virginia, the at- tempted railroading in Zeigler, and persecution of members of the I. W. W. in defense of whom I. L. D. seeks to be of assistance, are some of the pres- ent duties of International Labor De- fense. Scarcely a week goes by that does not add to the already long list of labor cases before the courts of the country. The organization resulting from the conferences on “Labor Defense Day” will make it possible for International Labor Defense to handle all these cases and many more, beside conduct- ing the necessary work of caring for the present class war prisoners and their families, Prominent Speakers, In Chicago more than 100 creden- tials have already been received from workers’ organizations wishing to be represented at its defense conference. The Chicago mass meeting will be addressed by Henry Corbishley, the leading figure in the Zeigler trial, Dun- can McDonald of Springfield, Wm. Z. Foster and C, E. Ruthenberg, the lat- ter two defendants in the Michigan trials. The New York meeting will have as speakers, James P. Cannon, secretary of I, L, D, and prominent local labor leaders. San Francisco, Minneapolis, Cincin- nati, Boston, Detroit, Cleveland, Phila- delphia, Pittsburgh, Seattle and many other smaller centers will stage these mass meetings and conferences on “Labor Defense Day.” Letter Carriers Meet in Detroit, Hold Big Parade DETROIT, Sept. 9.—The twenty- fifth annual convention of the letter carriers of the United States opened here with a parade of more than six thousand Jetter carriers. The convention sessions will be held in the armory each day until September 12. Military Train JurAps Track, AUGSBURG, Germany, Sept. 9,— Two were killed and a score injured today when a military train, transport- ing reichswehr, was derailed at Donau- wogrth, Bavaria American, who had reached the ship and now stood at the rail with his wife, smiled cynically. Despite the fact that the ship was 129 men short she was clearing away from the dock before the eyes of the strike pickets only two minutes late. Poker Faced Man of Mystery But the mystery was soon cleared up, as the famous American knew it would be. He was schooled in keep- ing a poker face in such matters as strikes and labor troubles. He was not surprised when the huge ship, as it breasted the waters of Southampton Roads, was approached by a little tug- boat which puffed suddenly from shore, packed to the rim with rough men in rougher clothes. The expectation of the famous Am- erican was fully confirmed when he learned that they were scabs signed on by an ex-service men’s employ- ment association in London, taken secretly to Southampton and kept hid- den until the time came to rush them aboard the great White Star Liner. One Sort of Worker Te Admired The famous American rarely had been accustomed to greeting working- men with any enthusiasm, but now he was very near cheering with the rest , of the bourgeois Americans who yell- Fifteen Coal Miners of Zeigler, Illinois, Are Facing Prison (Continued from page 1) other had said something in the’ hall which he could not understand, after which everybody started grabbing chairs. His statements against the other fifteen of the seventeen consist- ed merely of such things as that “So and so yelled, ‘Shut the door, ‘He should be killed,’ ” etc. Four other witnesses put on by the prosecution made an even poorer showing. All, including Cobb, were frequently contradictory in their test- imony. No witnesses were called by the defense. After Justice Moore held fifteen of the defendants to the grand jury, in spite of the flimsy evidence, $2,000 bail was set for each defendant and was immediately filed by friends of the union miners. Judge White of Marion and Attor- ney Morgan of Christopher conducted the defense end of the hearing. K. K, K. and Labor Fakers in Plot An idea of the evil forces behind this persecution of the militant miners of Zeigler can be had in view of the facts disclosed by an investigation committee of six miners elected by the Valier, Ill, local of the U. M. W. of A. who called upon Sub-District President Lon Fox and Vice Presi- dent D. B. Cobb to get at the facts. Fox stated in the presence of these six miner witnesses that he (Fox) had furnished bail to release Alex Hargis, the K. K. K. who murdered Mike Saro- vich in the Zeigler union hall. Hargis had been armed and brought Fox and Cobb to the meeting, and had begun the fight by going to the door and WHAT DO ed like mad as they hung over the rail welcoming these scores of tattered scabs taken from England's unemploy- ment heroes, as they climbed up the side and were rushed to the fireroom by the ship’s officers, The famous American cheerfully made his way to the cabin as the Majestic, jeering the strikers on the docks with a deep toot of her whistle, headed for open water on the road to New York, To those who have been persistent enough to read this far, it should be said that the famous American was Morris Hiliquit, member of the exec- utive board of the socialist party of America, who was just returning from the International Socialist Congress at Versailles, France, where the chief business was condemnation of Soviet Russia and praise of the League of Nations. On Urgent Business Bent Mister Hillquit—we cannot call him comradé—was on his way back to America on a scab ship. He had ur- gent business in America. The gar- ment manufacturers in New York are having trouble with the left wing membership, which seems to have escaped from Sigman’s shackles and gags. And beside these political mat- ters, there is a little personal matter Mr. Hillquit is concerned over. The anthracite coal strike had just been declared and Mr. Hillquit had only that morning received a cable from the Burns Brothers Coal Co., of New York, in which he owns great blocks of stock, that they were raising tlie price of anthracite 25 cents a ton, and Morris Hillquit, leader of the so- cialist Second International, was an- xious to get back in order to see that the coal companies would hold out against the striking miners long enuf to beat them but not so long that the Burns Brothers would run out of coal and lose that 25 cents gouge on every ton. The famous socialist millionaire of America, attorney at law and dealer in coal and perverted Marxism, was sailing on a scab ship back to Amer- ica to look after his dividends and the American socialist party.

Trying 'to Hoodwink the Workers As to Benefits Under Monopoly Control By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL. TODAY: the growth of greater trusts dims the Sherman anti-trust law. Instead of standing as a rock against the advance of greater monopolies, as it was intended by the petty bourgeois statesmen at Washington, the Sherman law has become as a tombstone to mark the grave of departed competition in American capitalist industry. So enthusiastic have the great capitalists become, over the practical passing of the Sherman anti-trust law altho it is still on the statute books of the nation, that they herald the tremendous benefits its going will bring to the workers. To read the Labor Day speeches of the’ capitalist politicians, quickly followed by applauding editorials in the kept press, one is led to believe that capitalism has turned benefactor, and that the greater industrial combines are being brot into existence to help lift the burden of toil from the backs of the laboring muititudes, with lutely nothing for themselves, * * the profiteers expecting abso- Secretary of Labor Davis, the Pittsburgh multi-mil- lionaire, chose this theme as the burden of his Labor Day address at Mooseheart, Illinois, center of institutions estab- lished there by the Loyal Order of Moose, of which Davis is a high potentate. Coolidge’s labor secretary forgot all about his attacks on the foreign-born workers as he pleaded that the American workingman is the victim of wasteful condi- tions in industry, declaring that all laws which prevent in- dustrial combinations, “which might eliminate some of the wastes, should be repealed in the interests of labor.” Davis then looked about for the welcome ovation before he proceeded with the declaration that one-seventh of the shoe factories of the nation, if they operated 300 days dur- ing the year, could supply all the shoes that can be sold. Since he was speakin example from this state. in Illinois, Davis had to cite an ut he chose poorly when he re- ferred to the mining industry, claiming that a fourth of the strip mines in Illinois, if operated 300 days a year, could pro- duce more coal than all the strip mines in the state raised last year. ! . * ° ° There has been a growing centralization of control in the Illinois mine fields, just as there has been elsewhere thru- out capitalist industry. But brot no benefits to the coal miners. this elimination of waste has Instead of the short- ened work day, providing jobs for all the miners, the mine owners have waged a relentless war on every attempt to de- crease the hours of labor. The great army of unemployed mine workers, that endlessly marks time thruout the coal fields of the state is testimony to the success of the coal bar- ons in hogging all the benefits for themselves, It was at the Herrin strip mine that the mine owners sought an opening thru which to attack and crush the Miners’ nion. All the benefits of monopoly control are going to the dollars invested in industry, not to the workers toiling in in- ‘dustry. This is true of e shoe industry, with its great masses of unorganized and underpaid workers, as well as of every other industry. It is, of course, necessary to hoodwink the workers into believing that they will be the gainers, by the passing of the Sherman law, that came into existence durin; middle class trust busting. an era of The propaganda of the bosses will fool some workers, no matter how crude and transparent it may be. But the actual struggle of the workers with these grow- ing monopolies will prove to them how foolish they are not ‘only to believe these lies, but to place any faith whatever in any of the pretens growth of the ever-enlarging of the cap! list class. The ceaseless industrial combines will open the eyes of new masses of workers to the real nature of the class stru, ggle. It will teach the workers not only to fight for the immediate necessities, but for complete contro! over all industry. wast Labor will not benefit from the elimination of n industry until it has seized all industry and made itself master over it, thru the overthrow of capitalist rule and the victory of the proletarian dictatorship. Such a dictatorship is impossible in the eyes of Mr. Green. Mr. Green is unalterably opposed to a form of gov- ernment under which the capitalists are not permitted any injunctions against labor. He is against a form of government which suppresses the capitalist, instead of suppressing the workers. Mr. Green cannot stand for a dictatorship such as exists In Soviet Russia, under which the labor unions were able to grow from the weakest and smallest to the largest and strong- est in the world, Mr. Green cannot tolerate a dictator- ship which made it possible for the labor unions in Soviet Russia to be- come the determining factor in the fixing of wages, hours and working conditions. R. GREEN voices his unequivocal enmity to a dictatorship which, as is the case in Soviet Russia, makes it possible for the labor unions to supervise the enforcement of all pro- labor laws and which, with the whole state power to back them up, enforce all contracts made by:them with what- ever private capitalists are permitted to operate. r No! Such dictatorships are unac- ‘ceptable for the president of the American Federation—because he loves his capitalists and is opposed to the rule of labor. Mr, Green’s love is not with labor, it is with capital, He attacks the Com- munists as enemies of capital, and thus demonstrates his own friendship for it. : LAS against the international unity of labor, against capital, propagated by British and Russfan labor, William Green supports actively the interna, tional unity of capitabagainst labor. As against the solidarity. of labor eainst tages rag ko gp practices solidarity with American, capital, with rialism, impe »yaloah i i As against the organization of the Political forces of labor against the capitalist government machinery, Wm. Green propogates and practices & support of the capitalist government. machinery against labor by support- ing the capitalist parties and their candidates. The capitalists are fortifying themselves in their attack against American labor by persecuting its most militant section. This section is the left wing under the leadership of the Communists, a left wing clearly sees that the only salvation for American labor is uncompromising struggle against capital. Decent wages and bearable working conditions can only be ach- fJeved in successful fights: against the bosses. The bosses’ power in this fight can be weakened only by a mobiliza- tion of all the political forces of la- bor thru a labor party. Mr. G: does not propose such a struggle. On the contrary he fears it. abhors an alliance with or even a recognition of proletarian Russia. He prefers an alliance and cooperation with the government of strikebreaker Coolidge and open shopper Dawes, Instead of fighting the capitalists with and in behalf of labor, Mr. Green pre- fers to fight the left wing of the labor movement and the Communists with and in behalf of the capitalists. i byivnad attack of William Green against the left wing and the Com- munists is nothing more nor less than an attempt to weaken labor in its fight against capital.

The Riffian shore batteries wiped out one- forth of the Spanish forces, who. hastily fled, leaving 500 dead on the shores of the bay. The Riffians are concentrating for an attack on Tetuan, and fighting is going on two miles from that Spanish controlled city. A Spanish Workers Protest. The attempt of the Spaniards to land troops near Krim’s capitol was preceded by a heavy bombardment of French airplanes. American fliers al- so took part in the murderous air attack. But the Riffians, with a withering fire withheld until the landing parties reached shore, mowed down the Span- ish forces, They immediately took to their boats, leaving their dead, and fled back to Pennon Island, under a cross fire of machine guns and 75's. In spite of this disaster, and the wave of disapproval which has swept the workers of Spain, it was announc- ed that another attempt to land will be made soon. f Tangier Line Smashed. Another French-Spanish fleet has been bombarding the hills at the mouth of the Lau river for many hours, but hag not dared attempt a landing. The Spanish attack on the Melilla and Larache fronts ‘was repelled by the Rifflans, the Spaniards losing heavily. The break made by the Moroccans in the Spanish front at the Tangier zone has not been repaired by the Spanish invaders. The Spanish dictator has clamped a strict censorship on the dispatches of correspondents.
