No direct news can be obtained from Canton as the telegraph cable from Canton leads thru Hongkong where the English censorship holds up the telegrams. It has now been Wiscovered that the Canton govern- Ment has never issued the reported decree.

SOUTHERN MOB TARS, FEATHERS, STRIPS, 2 WOMEN JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 15— Police are searching for two women ‘who were tarred and feathered early Sunday and then dropped from sight after a man who found them relieved them of their coating. When the women left their bene- factor they said they were going to police headquarters to report their experiences. However, they had not shown up there this morning. The women were reported to be sisters and were captured by 150 masked men soon after being re- leased from the city prison farm, where they had been confined for 30 Gays. After being captured, the Women are said to have been taken in automobiles to a lonely spot where the coat of tar and feathers. was ap- Pited. Later they were brot into Jackson- ville and released at a downtown Street corner. A nearby resident dis- covered their plight and took them Minto his home, removed the tar and feathers by applying ° kerosene. When found the women were clad only in gunny sacks.

The sheriff had to threaten Druggan with punishment unless he returned and Terry like a good fellow came back, opened the gate and walked into the jail again. He was so sore that he fired a couple of guards, L. A. Juniors Write Plays; Give Parties and Start Campaigns (Special to The Daily Worker) LOS ANGELES, Sept. 15. — Now that vacation is over activities of the Juniors will once more begin at ge speed. The different groups are now hike arranging musical programs. Group A and B meet every Tuesday night at the Cooperative Bldg. and will Sept. 30. All children are welcome to any and all of these programs, in fact they are urged to come if they want to enjoy an evening. Write Their Own Plays A good number of the members are busily engaged writing plays, of | course plays of a working class char- | acter. The best ones will berused for these and other concerts, and will also be sent away for publication in The Young Comrade. That is why they are all doing their best, and you may expect to see some good plays if you come. On Saturday Sept. 20 all the Juniors |and their friends will go out for a whole day to the Exposition Park. We The New Course of En By IRANDUST. T the same time as the hostile ac- tivities against the Soviet Union in the west are being intensified, Eng- lish imperialism is endeavoring to create an eastern front against the ‘Boriet Union. The English press is making efforts to exploit in an in- creased degree the theme of the omni- present hand in Moscow and to fright- om the leading groups in the coyntries of the Near East with the bogey of a “red imperialism of the Bolsheyiki” which is said to be directed against the backward peoples of the East, This English propaganda is noticeable in reoont times especially in Turkey, Persia and Afghanistan. . In connection with the recent resolu- tion of the government of Angora to build up a new Turkish navy, the English paper “Near Bast” proposed that Turkey should work on similar lines to those taken by England, on the grounds that the interests of Tur- key and England are completely iden- tical, in that both these countries are obliged to carry on a policy of defence against “the aggressive plans of Rus- sia” in Asia, in which proposal it is easy to see a transparent hint that ft would be best for the Turkish fleet to be under English guidance. The taking over by the Angora govern- mettt of the property of the non-Mos- lem population of Turkey, which re- mained unclaimed in consequence of the war, prompted the “Morning Post” to urge Turkey not to follow _ in the footsteps of bolshevism but to take its direction from “Western civilization” and to help England. T the same time the English press is raising a hue and cry about the Bolshevist threat to Persia and Afghanistan which is alleged to have arisen as a result of the demarcation of national boundaries im the Soviet Republics of Middle Asia, and is try- ing to represent the present insurrec- tion of the Persian Turkestans, which has been provoked by the. activities of English agents, as a Moscow in- trigue. The “Daily Tlegraph” expert on questions concerning Middle Asia recently demanded, in that paper, the revision of English policy in the Near East. He pointed out that the man- datory territories of England re- Present a narrow corridor at the ex- treme ends of which lie the poten- tially hostile districts of Egypt and Persia, whilst in the North is Turkey (and nothing has been done to gain its sympathies) and in the south the sovereign territories of the Sultan of Hedjas and leader of the Wahabiti, Ibn Saud, the whole of whose interests have been prejudiced by England's Policy in the last few years, in his opinion the foundations and _prin- ciples of England's policy in Middle Asia should be revised, as othervise she might expect to lose her whole influence and prestige in the Middle East. As a matter of fact England has in the last few months developed a ‘tev- erish activity in Bgypt. Palestine, Arabia, Iraq, Turkey and Persia.

He arranged a cabaret party for himself and some of the under sher- riffs at the jail, and hardly had he disposed of the last ginger ale high- ball when the ku klux klan got hold of the news and began to make head- lines. The sheriff and the police swear that they are not responsible for the leak, but Terry is undecided | whether to remove Hoffman and Col-; lins or not. An inquiring repofter Druggan was the jailed or the jailor. He was carried away on a stretcher. Druggan was having his nails mani- cured when the reporter made his ap- pearance and did not want to be dis- turbed, ere T the present stage of hostilities, the odds are all in favor of Drug- |gan. The ku klux klan have enlisted | the support of the United States gov- to call up reinforcements in the form | of Frankie Lake and “Dapper” Danny McCarthy. If this threat is carried out, and the government does not back down, there may be a hot time in this city, o ete HIS proves nothing except that a couple of enterprising bootleggers can add to local gaiety and that money makes the mare go and some- times the mayor.’ While the Hon. Mr. T. Druggan was exploring the hinter- land, and tickling the gills of the finny tribe, from his castle in Cook County jail, several business agents of the Amalgamated Clothing Work- ers were being finger-printed, bullied, grilled ‘and generally abused on the mere suspicion of having Interferred with some nonunion employers. And the abuse was being heaped upon them by the very police who hail Terry Druggan, the millionaire boot- legger and dissector of superfluous competitors, as a friend.

Les English high commissioners for Egypt and Palestine are be- ing exchanged. The resignation of Lord Allemby in Egypt and his re- placement by George Lloyd, the for- mer governor of Bombay, signifies, as has been remarked in the Arabian press, that the English government circles are trying to cover the iron hand of the policy carried out by them in Egypt, with a velvet glove. The replacement of Sir Herbert Sam- uel in Palestine by Lord Plumer is regarded in English political circles as @ preventive measure for possible political complications in the Near East. According to the opinions ex- pressed by the leaders of the Zionist movement, Plumer's appointment sig- nifies a change in English policy in Palestine, with the object of morally disarming Arabian nationalism and turning Palestine into a purely En- glish colony. In Palestine and Transjordania, England is creating a new strategic base the significance of which is grow- ing, thanks to England having recent- ly taken possession of the harbor of Akabah in the Red Sea and thanks to the transformation of Cyprus into an English colony, In recent times England has ob- viously renounced her attitude of neut- rality and non-interférence 4 the two states.

DAILY) WORKER Be cy LEWIS TALKS LIKE, A CLAM UT STRIKE But Will Gabble with Governor Pinchot STROUDSBURG, Pa., Sept. 15.— John L, Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, left this city today for Milford, Pa., by motor, for a conference this af- ternoon with Gov. Pinchot. Lewis was asked last week by the Pennsylvania chief executive to visit him for the purpose of acquainting the governor with the anthracite coal strike situation, and’ his visit at the governor's home, follows a visit by William W. Inglis, of Scranton, chair- man of the anthracite operators’ scale negotiating committee. The miners’ head arrived here at- ter a trip from Philadelphia, to Hazelton and other points in the coal region. Lewis would not comment on the subjects he would discuss with Gov. Pinchot, but he said he was ready to answer any questions the chief executive may ask. Lewis did not venture an opinion as to whether he believed that Gov. Pinchot would attempt to end the an- thracite strike as he did two years ago, nor would he give an opinion as to how long the strike would last. Following his conference with Gov. Pinchot Lewis expects to return to Philadelphia, But, Brothers, We Need Some Missions - to Arouse Us, Also WASHINGTON—(FP)—No attempt will be made to send a mission to Latin American countries to arouse interest in trade unionism, but in- stead there will be an effort through letters and,other appeals to induce labor unions in Latin America to con- tribute their share of the funds for such an undertaking. This decision was reached at the meetings of the executive Committee of the Pan-Amer- ican Federation of Labor in Washing- ton. Wage scales in Latin countries are very lw, but the Mexicans agree that even with their small incomes the Latin“labor organizations must contribute moré'than they now pay, if they are to éstablish a democratic international of labor ih the western hemisphere. +5 Thick i k in Cleveland CLEVELAND—CFP)_—-An epidemic of labor injunctions is sweeping through Gleveland’s courts.

The in- surrection in Kurdistan gave the gov- erment of Angora the opportunity of concentrating, considerable forces on the borders of Mosul; this threatened to bring about a military solution of the Mosul question. if Turkey should not be satisfied by the decision of the League of Nations. It is character- istic that the’ exdmination of the Mossul question in the League of Nations Couneil which had been fixed for the month of June, is now post- poned until ‘the September session in order to give the parties the oppor- tunity of coming to an agreement. In the meantime English capital openly renounces the actual boycott ot Turkey which was imposed by the treaty of Lausanne, and is ahead of all other countries in the economic conquest of Turkey. Last year, among the foreign limited companies regis- tered in Turkey with a capital of 226 million Turkish pounds, 28 companies with a capital, of 23 millions Turkish pounds were English. The more or less conciliatory policy of England in the question of Mosul, is partly explained by the fact that the situation ‘in South Kurdistan | sian threatens the English interests in Iraq; communications have appeared in the press to. the effect darteantobor iia Ave i od CD Sheik | WORKERS ENJOY REAL VACATION AT HUDSON RIVER CAMP, FAMOUS THESIS WRITER HUSTLES WAITER SQUADS By M. D. LITMAN. ~ (Workers’ Correspondent) NEW YORK, Sept. 15.— Hidden in the bushes and flowers that grow on the Hudgon River slopes, near Beacon, New York, there flourishes a brown- tented city, nay, it is more than a city; fon in no other place in the’ United States can one find a sign, which reads as follows: ers ONLY. Businessmen, large or small, workers’ summer haven. ““This camp is for \work- will be turned back.” It is a What great ecstacy one feels when a vacation can be enjoyed among | real workers, away from the boss and the stench which he creates. tion amid natural surroundings, with. #—— out the usual conventionalities of bourgeois hypocracy, A camp which well earns the name of “Camp Don't Worry.” Plenty of “Atmosphere.” For weeks it was announced that no reservation could be secured for Labor Day, as all available room was reserved long before, but that did not stop twice the number of “workers from coming out. Food was provided for all and all the ‘available space within “reserved” tents, was used. Unlike the bourgeoisie, the workers were glad to house new comers in their tents, Then, of course, there is the Nit-Gedaiget Barn. It may be a broad statement to make, but you really never enjoyed a vacation and the true working class spirit, until you try the Nit-Gedaiget Barn. Once you get that barn-yard spirit, you'll never be the same. A grand concert was given in the newly built dance hall and dining hall and after the ball was over, about two hundred workers straggled into the Nit-Gedaiget Barn. Plenty of hay, enough holes in the roof shingles for the rain to trickle in and all the “atmosphere” an artist wants. The greenish-yellow light cast by the flashlights of the workers who came into the dark barn; seeking a soft spot to lie down, produced some wonderful sillhouette effects. Once a soft spot is found, all one has to do is to lay in such a position as to be be- tween the shingle holes and thus avoid a natural shower bath. Feeding More Than a Thousand. Regardless of rank, by a severe method of conscription, the hash- slingers are mobilized. During the course of a meal, Jack Jampolsky, famous for his party thesis, picks out the waiters who are to serve the food the following day. Jack Jampolsky turns out expert waiters after one hour’s training. He) has to go thru this formality one hour before each meal, because new ‘recruits serve each’ meal time. With a megaphone im hand, he di- rects his little army of recruits, shout- ing orders to sweep)floors, set tables, cut bread and finally;a general meet- ing of waiters is Called 11 minutes before the “customers” are admitted, when he gives his final instructions. Under his able leadership, a thousand are fed with clock-like system. A fire alarm siren, that can be heard for miles, calls in the work- vacationists. They don’t have to be called long, for they can be seen hang- ing around the mess hall watching the waiters in training. The portions are very generous and the workers eat with gusto. From a waiter's standpoint, the writer thinks that rye bread, potatoes, and herring, are the three most popular dishes. Workers Sing in Camp Nit-Gedaiget. Songs—revolutionary and folk, ne- ver cease to be heard. Song fills the air everywhere. In groups, in tents, on lawns, amid bushes, workers vie with each othér and revel in song and jest.

HENRYETTA, Okla.—(FP)-—Wien the Oklahoma criminal court of ap» peals sustained the right of striking coal miners to pray for the salvation of strikebreakers and coal operators, the owners of the mines continued their offensive against practical relig- ion by blowing the mine whistle when- ever a prayer meeting began opera- tions. As the strikebreakers left the pit the prayers and the whistling of the siren competed for their atten- tion. Prayer meetings are also held at a grade crossing where, according to state law, motorists must come to a full stop. Scabs in autos that. do not stop have their cars reported by licensé number to the authorities. The strike against the 1917 scale is spread- ing to other camps in Dist. 21, United Mine Workers. Locomotive Does Work of 14, NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—The Lake Shore Limited pulled into New York drawn by one locomotive.

The company announces that only one engine will be used hereafter on each one-way trip. Told to Discard Veils.

A few days ago the government of Iraq signed a treaty accepting 70 En- glish specialists, for periods up to ten years, in the state government. This is evidence that the transformation of Iraq into an English colony is rapid- ly advancing. The change is most striking in the working methods of English diplom- acy in Persia. After the inglorious adventure of its puppet Sheik Kheisal, English diplomacy has decided not to Play the part of an enemy of the na- tional movement for freedom in Per- sia to take its orientation from Eng- land, it is working out plans on a large scale for the economic enslave- ment of Persia, with the assistance of American capital, In England's policy in the Near Kast, the Anglo-American bloc which has 0 obviously collapsed in China, convnues as vefore to play an import- ant part. It finds expression in a jes of agreements between the inter- ested capitalist groups of both coun- tries, in the first place between the petro.eum companies English-Persian Oll and Standard Oil which have come to an agreement as to the divid- ing of the treasures of native oil of North’ Persia, and are offering united resistance to other competitors, espe- cially France. Preparations are be- ing made for the transference of Per- finances to Anglo-American con trol, fof whith object the issue of an AnglolAtierican loan to Persia {s plan- ned, ..urther Ang! co eee gag! tag operation in the question of railways and concessions can be observed. A similar picture is to be observed in Turkey and the Iraq. The S'andard Cil and the English-Pers'an have come to an agreement with regard to a common exploitation of the native oil of Iraq, and a short time ago a concession treaty was signed in Bag- dad with the government of Iraq. England is trying by this agreement to get America to guarantee the bor- ders of Iraq. AND in hand with this a tendency can be observed for the relations between England and France in the East to become strained; this corres- ponds to a certain degree to the situa- tion in Europe. Thus the attempts of the French to gain a share in the affairs connected with native oil and railways in North Persia is met by England's violent opposition, When communications were published with regard to negotiations between Tur- key and France as to adjustment of the frontier of Syria. the English press very plainly gave expression to the opinion that France had no right to dispose of Syria. The English press showed similar anxiety during the last visit of Franklin-Bouillon, the French politician, to Angora, Hngland’s attempts to strengthen her position in the Hast and to create in the Hast a hostile front to Soviet Russia are, in their very nature, full of contradictions and therefore doom- ed to failure.

Local speakers representing the various Negro organizations will be present. This local conference will elect dele- gates to the national congress in Chi- eago, October 25th and take up the various issues confronting the Amer- ican working class as set forth in the call to action by the congress, such as a campaign for equal wages for equal work regardless of race and ex, abolition of industrial discrimina- tign in factories, mills, mines and on the railroads and in all places where Negxoes are employed, the abolition of Jity Crowism not only in the sout! but th&uout the nation and to stimu- late and promote the organization of interracial committees to bring about better feeling between the black and white wor and es a remedy against lynchings and race riots, as well ag the demands for social and economic equality for Negri workers, etc. Workers Party members and mili- tant unions have been urged to re- double their efforts to make this local congress a success and to help mark an epoch in the lives of the Ameri- can Negroes, Nea. \ nit Union Set Prevailing Wage, Court Decides By ART SHIELDS NEW YORK—(FP)—Union labor won a victory over the city adminis- tration that is expected, to bring ‘in- creased pay to hundreds of mechan- ics when the municipal court ordered the department of plants and struc- tures to give $476.75 back pay to Peter Peterson, a painter, the differ- ence between the $9.50 per day he had been getting and the $10 and $10.50 that union painters received during the same period. Peterson's case was a test case that will affect 200 other city painters and hundreds of other mechanics whom the city has been paying less than the union rate. The law unequivocally provides for wages at the prevailing rate, and the evidence showed that the prevailing rate was from $10 to $10.50 during the time involved. The prevailing rate is the union rate, the court ruled in the trade in New York City. Many master painters testified as to the $10 and $10.50 scales and when the corporation counsel argued that some firms were paying only $9.50 the court*ruled that since only a minority of firms had this lower and openshop rate it could not be defended as the glish Policy in the Near [East glish mission, Yhe Arabian movement in Palestine and Transjordania against the English rule continues. fed Eastern peoples cannot be de- ceived by the new mask of Eng: lish imperialism, ‘This became evi- dent & the conference for the Jimita- tion of trade in arms which took.
