Indiana Worker Electrocuted. FORT WAYNE, Ind,, Sept. 11.— Francis Henry Monahan, 18, painter of Van Wert, Ohio, was electrocited at a sub-station of the Indiana Serv- ice Corporation here today when he came in contact with a high tension wire carrying 43,000 volts. Ts two thousand dollar mark was passed yesterday as a “f few score more of party branches and fighting workers added their names to ranks of DAILY WORK R savers. “We must save our ogy 4 gal and we will save it,” is the chorus that answers the ILY WORKER'S call for help. Thus do Communists react in the face of danger, with redoubled courage and energy. The danger Is not over. The front ranks have been formed and have made a splendid be- ginning. But the task must be completed, Within the next ten days the many thousands of workers who have not yet taken their place in the army of DAILY WORKER savers must forward to send in the remaining four-fifths of the $10,000 emergency fund.

Led by a fine band (Chinese) of 30 pieces, besides a Chinese boys’ band of 17 pieces, with every delegate wear- ing blue hat bands inscribed “Hands Off China,” with similar banners and carrying the flag of the Canton South China republic along with the five barred flag of the Republic of China, they marched along with precision and determination in their bearing. Chinatown was plastered and hung with banners and posters in red, with pictures of Dr. Sun Yat Sen and revo- lutionary slogans. All Chinatown was agog with interest. A couple of Britishers, with their in- evitable canes, who were encountered along the route of march, were visibly upset but pretended they didn’t notice the parade. It may be they were the “unofficial eyes” of the British secret service, but if they didn’t enjoy the spectacle, your correspondent did. It being the Frisco christians day of worship, a catholic church on the corn- er of Grant Ave.and California St. disgorged its wealthy be-silked and be- satined congregation just in time tq witness the parade. The good christ- jans finding themselves among so many “heathen” milled around not knowing what to say or where to look. Amalgamation of Rail Unions Big Subject Before Conference (Continued from page 1) and a Canadian committee was or- ganized. a Réviving After Depression. “The movement has suffered a de- bression with the loss of the shop- men’s strike, largely because of the most militant workers being black- listed and the unions themselves be- ing reduced to impotence. But a new spirit is being manifested among the rank and file, who complain bitterly against the unions’ higher officialdom, which has uniformly sabotaged the amalgamation movement and pre- vented ‘its possible progress. The present conference gives great hope of shaping a policy which will com- bat this official opposition to the amalgamation movement, which move- ment is the only hope of saving the unions from utter annihilation and making them into fighting organiza- tions ready to battle for the interests of the railway workers, Amalgamation Lesson Learned. “The lessons of the great strike should nt be lost. The weakness of the unions shown in the strike to be reside in craft separation, with some unions working while the rest were striking, is the unanswerable agru- ment for amalgamation; and the Daugherty injunction and the use of all agencies of the capitalist govern- ment to crush the strike has likewise stimulated the workers to work for the formation of a great labor party to be based upon the trade unions, bringing in all workers’ organizations which realize that labor must build up political power independent of the old political parties that have proven completely servile to the capitalist class.” The conference is to open at the Workers’ Lyceum on Saturday morn- ing. Delegates are expected from all -| Parts of the United States and Can- ada, Minneapolis Labor Invited to Meeting on Sunday Evening MINNEAPOLIS, Minn,, Sept. 11.— A great mass demonstration on be- half of the striking anthracite. min- ers, is going to be held Sunday even- ing, Sept. 18, at 7 p. m., at Washing- ton Square, “Seven corners.” This mass meeting is arranged by the Workers (Communist) Party for the purpose of acquainting the workers of ‘Minneapolis with the issues at stake. The following speakers will address the mass meeting: C. A, Hathaway, John Gabriel Sol- tis and Jack Bradon. Soltis, as a practical miner in the past, will speak from first hand knowledge of the life of the coal dig- ger. All workers should attend this meeting and demonstrate their soli- darity with the heroic coal miners, who are the backbone of the Ameri- can labor movement, and who never fail to help other sections of the work- ing class when they are in distress. So be there! If you want to thoroughly un- derstand Communism—study it.

Twit Hiliquit for Scabbing. ‘They crowded over to the platform of the Workers (Communist) Party, where Comrade Amter showed up the treachery of the “yellow scab social- ist Hillquit, who for this act of treach- ery to the organized workers, should be thrown out of the labor move- ment.” Amter spoke for about 30 minutes, when a policeman arrived demanding that the speaker present the permit for the meeting. No permit is required in New York, and the cop knew it. The speaker in- formed him that police had been noti- fled of the meeting and that is all that is required. This seemed to satisfy the cop for a moment, for he went away. and the meeting proceed- ed. But not so the socialists. They had already caused the arrest of one comrade, Comrade Gordon, who act- ed as chairman of the meeting and they evidently insisted that the meet- ing of the Workers (Communist) Party be stopped. A sergeant and the cop returned to the W. P. stand, and demanded that the crowd disband. Amter remon- strated with them for a time, and finally declared that he would contin- ue with the meeting, and that the cop could arrest him. He spoke a few more words and was then arrested. Court Has to Ponder. Comrade Jack Stachel immediately mounted the platform, but was im- mediately arrested by the cop, There were no further comrades on hand, otherwise the cop would have had his hands full. The International Labor Defense bailed out the two comrades, who were put under $500 bonds each. Comrade Gordon was fined $2, and not having the amount was dismissed. - The judge considered the cases of Amter and Stachel and has to con- sult the law, in spite of the fact that Joseph R, Brodsky, the attorney of the (International Labor Defense, pointed out that the law is on the side of the defendants. The matter will come up before the court later.

Workers No. 510 hall.” Spread to All Seaports Interviewed by the DAILY WORK- ER yesterday, Bob Hayes, secretary of the Chicago branch of the M. T. W. stated that the action taken by the Manhattan branch was expected to be concurred in by all or nearly all bran- ches and to become effective at once especially on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts where the chief center of strug- gle lies. Hayes stated that the Chicago branch had concurred in the strike call although the lake seamen were not affected, but the local branch would give all support possible. The Chicago branch has received word that the Buffalo branch had voted to walk out. Simultaneous action is expected from all important branches. The un- organized state of the industry as a whole may militate against a com- plete tie-up, but the M. T. W. means to attain leadership of the seamen by fighting for their interests and demon- Strating that the In.W. W. seamen stand 100 per cent behind the Britisn seamen who are striking against a wage cut of $5 a month. ere Terror Used Against Striking Seamen LONDON, Sept. 11.—Cables from the Australian, New Zealand and South African ports’'tell of the ruth- less brutality used by the police of these dominions in attempts to break the seamen’s strike which is tying up shipping thruout the British empire. More than 200 strikers are in jail under sentence and with forfeiture of pay for alleged violation of their art- icles and “insubordination.” At Melbourne Thursday, the police surrounded the town hall where the striking seamen were holding a mass meeting, and arrested the chairman of the meeting and the whole strike committee. In spite of this policy of government strikebreaking, the sea- men are standing firm and shipping is practically paralyzed. Republican Party Spends Fortune to Get Wisc.

LOUIS ENGDAHL. 'ODAY, the delegates to the world congress of the Second (Socialist) International are back in ‘their capitalist homelands. They were not compelled to travel far. Of the 37 parties affiliated to this international of betrayers, only eight are located in countries outside western or central Europe. Only three of these are to be found in the two Americas, the United States, the Argentine and British Guiena. M. Philips Price reports in Lansbury'’s Labor Weekly (London) that 5 of the remainder are “parties on the thres- hold of Asia.” But this does not state all of the truth. They may have one foot in Asia, but the other is firmly planted in some counter-revolutionary center in Europe. This is no- tably true of the menshevik socialist parties of Georgia and Armenia, two Soviet Republics. Then there are the parties in Turkey and Palestine, while the so-called Russian men- shevik party still cooks its plots in Paris. What an aggrega- i ' tion! ee ee tae The “socialist” parties may thus be said to have the confidence of West European Capitalism, where they con- tinue to eke out a meager existence as the left wing of fas- cism in the war on the Communists. But in addition to los- ing gradually the confidence of the workers of Europe, clear- ly seen in the reports even of social-democratic labor dele- gations to the Soviet Union, the facts*prove the Second (So- clalist) International has also completely lost the little faith that the oppressed nations and subject peoples of the two greatest continents, Asia and Africa, might have had in it in the days before the last imperialist war. In China, India, Japan, to mention only three of the great nations of Asia, there are no-“‘socialist” parties. None in Egypt, Morocco or South Africa, on the second greatest continent. None in the dozen countries of South America, where the class struggle is daily growing more keen. , None in Central America. None in Mexico, nor in Canada, and Morris Hillquit, the representative of the dwindling sect that still calls itself the American “socialist” party, returns across the Atlantic to New York City on the scab-manned steamship, the Majestic. * * ° This is the international, the conscious and deliberate betrayer of the workers, that cowers before the Communist International that has already planted the red flag of work- ers’ emancipation over half of Europe and Asia, and whose call to struggle has met response in every petri upon the face of the globe. The “socialist” international lives as an anti-Soviet propaganda agency and even the’ non-Commun- ist writer, Price, is forced to declare: “It would be interesting to know who provides the funds for this anti-Soviet propaganda inside the labor and “socialist” international. The Russian government has every reason to demand a quid pro quo.” Price should not be compelled to go far. for his answer. There is only one power interested in the: overthrow of the Workers’ Republics. That power has its headquarters in the seats of the great capitalist nations. It was capitalism at Paris, that selected a French “socialist” as its ambassador to French Indo-China, on the borders of revolutionary South China: This is the hideous face that the Second (Socialist) In- ternational presents not only to the workers of the United States, but to world labor. Irretrievably wrecked during the war; it tried to re- cuperate thru reorganization in a conference held at Ham- burg, Germany, in 1923. But it has signally failed. No greater testimony to this fact is needed than the present conference just adjourned at Marseilles. AS WE SEEIT -:- By T. J. O'Flaherty (Continued from page 1) own the resources of this country own the government and run it, . . . T may be news to many, and good news at that, to learn that Chester Wright, former socialist, later on stool pigeon for the government during the war, again press agent for Samuel Gompers, and after Sam’s demise wild eat stock peddler, is now back in ‘Washington at his old trade of press agenting for anybody willing to pay for the output of his pen. We hear that Wright is now on the payroll of some international union. No doubt he will take an occasional stab at the Communists, provided he gets ptid for it. ~ Oo Oise FE remember reading a very poetic effusion, tho not gotten out even, in free verse style, from the pen o! Mr, Wright, chanting the praises of a piece of oil territory which dame fortune and his own wisdom placed in his hands. Chester, like a good fellow was willing to lef the working class in on it. He knew the labor fak- ers were too foxy to fall for anything backed by one of themselves, so he appealed to the rank and file of the trade union movement and to the small fry officials. Evidently Wright did not strike oil either in the pock- ets of the trade unionists or in Texas, So he sadly decided to leave the task of emancipating the workers one by one to some other missionary, (A ae T is rumored “in quarters usually found reliable” that the officials of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers are between two minds, whether they should let the union run the banks or have the banks run the union. As a matter of fact the banks and other institutions established under the leadership of Warren 8S. Stone, are now running and ruining the union, Our modern labor fakers look on the unions as so many neces- sary nuistances, that must be toler- ated because they are useful in giv- ing them cnotrol o and enabling them to-make connection with their pocketbooks, ae AP leary unionism is in the saddle in the United States at the pres- ent time. But it is riding to a fall and when the crash comes, the labor skates will run for cover faster than hares, The workers cannot free them- selves from capitalism by competing with capitalism in making profit un- der the profit system. The only way they can free themselves from pov- erty, over-work, long hours and intel- lectual starvation is to abolish capi- talism, This is what the Russian workers are doing and according to reliable information they are succeed- ing very well. ee @ M liens capitalist papers carried a news item a few days ago to the effect that the “extremists” at the British Trade Union Congress Idst out on the One Big Union plan. The fact is that this proposition was backed by one of the sloppiest react- ionaries in Britain, a fellow by the name of Jack Jones, who sometimes sings the Red Flag in the house of commons and on the day following may present a bouquet of flowers to Queen Mary's daughter. The real rad- icals favored a plan for giving power to the General Council of the Trade Union Congress to call on all the un- ions to strike together for a common purpose. This is the best way to bring about solidarity. Unity for ac- tion! Chicago Group Leaders Attention.

SIGMAN USING GANGSTERS AND COPS ON WORKERS Brutal Aésaults Upon Left Wing Pickets NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 11.—An- other brutal assault on members of the International Dadies’ Garment Workers’ Union occurred in front of the dress shop of Alexander Weiss, 868 Hast 148th Street, the Bronx. This is one of the shops called on strike by the Joint Committee of Ac- tion following the discharge of work- ers for participating in the stoppage of August 20th. Workers were peace- fully picketing when a crowd of gang- sters appeared and started an attack. Sigman’s Union Disruption Sam Grossman of 282 Liggett Ave., was badly beaten and his right eye was severely bruised; Sam Weintraub of 841 Jennings Ave. was also hit about the head and face and both men had to be treated by a physician, After being assaulted in this manner, they were both arrested, together with Morris Neuman of 425 Hast 170th St., and 2 gangsters and were taken to the East 161st Street Police Station on a charge of disorderly conduct. They were paroled in the custody of their lawyers. During this attack by the gangsters, Anna Rosen of 2931 West 25th Street, Coney Island was hit over the head and chased by a thug into the hallway of a neighboring building where the tenants protected her. Ida Lifsky of 18 East 108 Street fainted as a result of the attack on the pickets. Promises of State’s Attorney This case will probably be cited when the whole history of the joint board’s use of gangsters to terrorize workers during the past three months is told to the grand jury by District Attorney Banton. Assistant District Attorney Peécora promised the Joint Committee of Action on Tuesday that drastic steps would be taken to stop these continued assaults, Sam Sabalofsky, and other workers from the shop of Shulman Bros. which was raided last Friday, will appear with representatives of the Joint Com- mittee of Action to tell their story to the grand jury tomorrow. Injunction Postponed’ The hearing on the injunction taken out by Artman & Saltzman against the Joint Committee of Action to prevent picketing of their shop, was postponed until Sept. 15, The injunction of Roth Costumes Inc. comes up for hearing in the N. Y. state supreme court to- morrow. Police and Courts Play Sigman’s Game There were two more girls arrested in front of the S. Zweig Dress Shop at 500, 7th Ave. They were Ray Wolfson and Mollie Lutewitz, both of whom were taken to Jefferson Market court and there fined $10 each on a charge of disorderly conduct. The four girls arrested at this shop the day before, Anna Moskowitz, Mol- lie Rosen, Esther Weissberg and Mar- ion Gross, were arraigned and fined $2 each, A man arrested at the same time, but not one of the picketers from the ranks of the Joint Committee of Ac- tion, was dismissed without fine.
