(a Butler’s Last Bray. Every incipient fascist and ku kluxer in the United States greeted the appointment of General Smedley Butler, as director of publie safety in Philadelphia a few years ago. Smedley was “devil-dog” in the marines. and had the reputation of being, a hard boiled apostle of capitalist “lawrenorder.” He swore by the mental vacuum of “Silent Cal” that he would make the Quaker City a purga- tory for evil doers; that he would have wickedness:on the run in no time or less than that. This strutting militarist, according to his press agent was wont to ride down the street in his limousine and on seeing somebody occupying the sidewalk whose face bore the dime novel resemblance to’a thug, would step out of his car, jam his gun into the suspected criminal’s ribs and order him to make for the suburbs. This kind of a system was expected to make Philadelphia a nice quiet city for clean minded christians, instead of the humming den of inequity it is alleged to be. But alas poor Butler! Vice thrives unchecked in the city of brotherly love and every thug’s hand is turned against the other when not lifted to deliver a sleep-inducing tap to somebody suspected of carrying roll. So Butler is going and the wicked ones are going to Fe nee gave a final exhibition of his idiocy when he heard that an epidemic of robberies broke out in a certain section of the city. “Shoot to kill” was his order to the police. This reminds one of the daily threats of the Chicago police to slaughter the gunmen after each fresh killing Philadelphia is not yet ripe for a fascist dictator.. The big busi- ness interests have not their own way in all things. They must pay toll to the politicians, who are in business for themselyes.. The politicians don’t want to turn their balliwicks into convents. Butler came into Philadelphia like a lion. He is going out Tike a jackass. 4 More Smoke in China Rumors of another civil war in China are making the rounds of the various capitals. Where there is so munch smoke there must be some fire. One report is that General Feng has formed an alliance with WuPet-F¥u to eliminate Chang-Tso-Lin the Manchurian war lord, from public life in China. Wu was formerly the creature of British and America capital while Chang was the petted favorite of Japan. The fortunes of war evidently have cast Wu from the arms of his former friends and if he is now in cahoots with Feng, it is very likely that he has much hope in the ability of British and American imperialism to survive the anti-imperialist nationalist revolt in China. Feng was formerly allied with Wu against Chang. It was Feng’s desertion of Wu that brot about the latter’s military defeat and his partial political obscurity since then. Tt appears that Chang is now the paid agent of British and American imperialism, with Japan between the devil and the deep sea. A recent statement by the Soviet ambassador to China on the prospect of another civil war in that country, created intense excite- ment in Washington, where the Chinese situation is watched with anxious eye. American spies in Mongolia, traveling in the guise of archaeologists have reported to their intelligence headquarters in Washington that hundreds of trucks of American make are passing thru Mongolia on the way from Russia with arms and munitions for General Feng. It is no exaggeration to state that the events taking plate in China today may lead, at no distant date to the downfall of British imperialism in the East. Jf this turns out to be a correct estimation of the course events in the Orient are taking, the end of the British empire is near. The fall of British power in China would waft the flames of revolution thru India and other eastern sections of the empire. | . . Averting a Disaster But for the alertness of Sir Joseph Cook, representing. Australia at the assembly of the league of nations, a terrible blunder might have been committed. “The league, as everybody knows is organized for,the purpose of preventing wars and in other ways making for peace and harmony in the world. This is believed. by everybody except Communists and Other evil minded people who believe nothing the capitalists tell them. But it is true nevertheless. The New York Times and Lord Robert Cecil, are authorities for the fact. That matter being settled, the following incident may be inter- “esting. During one of the sessions of the league being held in Geneva, ‘the Swiss delegates moved a resolution which would commit all “those who voted for it to compulsory arbitration of their disputes. ‘Ft was framed so cleverly that it almost passed by the sleepy dele- gates‘unnoticed. When Sir Joseph Cook pointed out that. this would make war a rather immoral proceeding the delegates got frightened, took the offending resolution and pulled the guts out of it. Then they breathed a sigh of relief and proceeded to discuss ways and means of averting war. Four hundred men who fought for the kaiser in the world war marched thru the streets of Chicago last Sunday with bands playing and colors flying. Mayor Dever reviewed the parade. Do you remember the days when the capitalist. press shrieked about the “Nuns” and swore we would never, never, never again have any- thing to do with those wicked Germans? But business is business. J. P. Morgan needed a rest, so he took a boat to England. Lest the populace should show a disagreeable desire to see the great man he went up to the upper pier on a freight elevator. .When J. H. Thomas, British labor faker wished to avoid unpleasant attentions on his landing in New York a few years agovafter selling out a strike, he descended in a freight elevator. “The situation in China is graye,” decla: edan American con- op eran on his return from a yisit to the Orient Yes, grave for COMMUNISTS T STIR MINERS IN ANTHRACITE Raise Slogan, “Bring Out Maintenance Men” By AUGUST VALENTINE (Special to The Daily Worker) WILKES BARRE, Pa., Sept. 21.—As. the campaign of the Workers Party among the anthracite miners, who have been on strike for several weeks, gains headway, the union bureaucracy is waking up to the fact that a great awakening is taking place among the strikers, hitherto apathetic and mor- bid but now raising certain slogans thruout the section rallying to their side the rank and file. Communists Raise Slogan The Communists have raised the slogan of “Bring Out the Mainten- ance Men.” These are the 10.000 miners who have continued work, keeping the mines drained of water, keeping the roof posted and doing other work of a like character. The Communists have pointed out in many mass meetings, among many other things, that this situation cannot con- tinue; to insure the strike success every miner must drop tools. This slogan is gaining power among the strikers. Thru the Pottsville-‘Shenan- doah valley this slogan is on the lips of thousands of miners. Toohey—the “Terrible Red” The officials are becoming worried. Instructions have been sent to the lackeys of Lewis to get the leaders of the progressive movement. First on the list comes Pat Toohey a very ter- rible. Red who is causing Lewis so much>concern in this region. It was Toohey who led the small but well organized radical delegation at the tri-district convention in Scranton in June,: where the miners’ demands were formulated. e Tt-was at this convention Toohey got the goat of Lewis who in turn grandly shook his fist in the direction of>our terrible Red. This was not the first:convention Toohey succeeded in getting Lewis’ goat, the same little thing was done two years ago at the international convention, 18 months ago atethe Pittsburgh convention. Itys.well known Lewis loves our Red;sopwell, so well in fact that his lackey;Wm. Feeney, “leader” of the great:Connellsville coke region strike attempted. with the aid of a gang of sluggers.to beat him up in a dark alley at the Allentown convention of the:Federation of Labor in 1924, ubeeReds Here To Stay MartinoDavis, executive board mem- ber:from, District No. 9, informed a localvunion president of Pittsville he is :afterstwo ducks, Toohey and an- other militant, Peter Billick. It seems these two. arch-Reds are very terrible People, -when all that fuss is made over them. Davis said he was order- ed todrive them from the organiza- tion”. We might humbly inform Mr. Davis that has been tried four times before. and in every instance failed, even.with Phil Murray special prose- cutor.on two occasions. The Reds are here, here to stay, the Reds will be here when Mr. Davis and his gang are dead and forgotten. They might be driven from the organ- ization but others will rise in their Place and carry on the work started by them, We might inform Mr. Davis he will have a sweet time driving them from the union. It is all too evident the Communist campaign among the strikers is suc- cessful and a great source of worry to the fakers, who the Communists do not hesitate a bit to expose and Place in the same category with the exploiters. The campaign will con- tinue, the many mass meetings ar- ranged to date will be held, the dance goes on. es Laborite Wins Seat LONDON, Sept. 21—The labor party | gained a seat at the expense of the conservatives in the house of com- mons bye-elections at Stockport.

BEHALF: OF THE COLONIAL Wi: cg SPEECH “(Special to The NEW YORK, Sept. 21:—When Secretary of State Kellogg ideesttiptea to justify the barring of Saklatvala, Indian Comnfunist member of the British parliament, he grossly misrepresented his house of commons speech, says the Friends of Freedom for India. full copy of the speech in question bears out this statement and shows that Kellogg pieced together isolated sentences and fragments to convey a dis- torted impression, Saklatvala’s speech was delivered fore the committee on supply on the vote for the Indian office and opposed an appropriation for the Secretary of + State for India. It was primarily an attack on Britigh rule in India and avowed Saklatvala’s jolitical Com- munist opinions. In his speech the Communist M. P. laid stress on the poverty’ and vote- lessness of the Indian’ workers. He scored the British fow denying the factory legislation. and/curtailment of child labor which existed at home to their subjects in the colonies. He told how the holding of a Trade Union Congress in India two years ago was prevented in Bengal bya detachment of Ghurka machine gunners sent at the request of the Merchants and the European Mine Owners’, Associations. The qpngress was held later at an- other place, ANTON JOHANSON SAYS SAKLATVALA EXCLUSION ~ TIS UNLAWFUL OUTRAGE Interviewed yesterday by the DAILY WORKER, Anton Johanson, nationally known In the labor move- ment and at present the president of Carpenters’ Local Union 1367, had the following comment on the ac- tion of the American government in barring the British Communist Sak- latvala, from attending the Wash- ington meeting of ‘the interparlia- mentary union: * “Barring Saklatvala by Secretary of State Kellogg is outrageous, un- called for and unlawful. ellogg’s conduct in barring SaklatVala with- out considering and evidence, with- out examination and without inquir- ing Into the clreumstances, seems to prove that Kellogg isa willing agent of the big business interests of America, “Further, President Coolidge, in approving the exclusion, reflects the same attitude of sepvility toward the Wall Street bankers.” FRANCE CANNOT PAY DEBT, CRASH OF FRANC NEAR Caillaux at | Mercy of Wall Street WASHINGTON, Sept. .21.— France cannot pay a dollar of her.debt to the American treasury; she gannot even balance her budget at home without repudiating 60 per cent of the Inter- est on her 300,000,000,000 francs of in- ternal debt, for a period pf years at least. This is the substance of the find- ings in a 450-page report on the French debt problem, prepared by the Institute of Economics and already. submitted to the members of the American debt commission. Even if 20 per cent were to be cut from military expenditures, the bud- get deficit for next year Would be reduced by only one-eighth, The war in Morocco will increase the deficit, of course, but peace would not save the franc. Members,of the American debt commission, studying | this report, which comes from the same source as the study of Germang/s capacity to pay, published .two years ago, which was denounced. as pro-German—are interested in its tendency to make a farce of the coming of Finance Min- ister Caillaux to: America, this fall. They realize that Caillaux is ‘com- ing to borrow $200,000,000 from Wall Street, if he can, rathergthan to pay or "gr France to pay, $4,000,000,000 the treasury.

DENONUCE BAN ON SAKLATVALA New York Stirred by Kellogg’s Tyranny (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW YORK, Sept. 21—‘Secretary Kellogg’s ban on Shapurji Saklatvala has been inspired not so much to safeguard the ignorance or the intel- ligence of the American people of which Secretary Kellogg is the sole trustee but to allow unhampered and unchecked the continued malicious misrepresentation about India that has been going on in this country by British imperialist propagandists.” This is the opinion given by Sail. endra Ghose, secretary of the Friends of Freedom for India, an organization of exiles from British rule. Ghose continued: “Saklatvala has a tale to tell of op- pression in India where the people toil 12 hours a day under famine ra- tions and are denied the right to vote. Not long ago Secretary Hughes, Kel- logg’s predecessor,» and President Coolidge ai yee support of the propaganda Lg pty Speaking Union for an Ang! fo-American imper- ial alliance. Will the American peo- ple allow the fear which this alliance has of Saklatvala’s exposure of Brit- ish rule. in India to prevent ‘them from getting the facts?” a Saklatvala is a Communist member of the British parliament. Support of his right to come here is from Indians of different political beliefs but united against the British oppressor, from numerous American organizations, among them the American Civil Lib- erties Union, the socialist party, the Workers (Communist) Party and others. Frank P. Walsh and Ghose are slated as the principal speakers at @ mass meeting of protest the Lib- erties’ Union is calling at Town Hall and Indians and the Workers Party has held a mass eeanetae in Union Square, FIELDS SCHOOL PARENTS AGAINST ‘JUNIOR HIGHS’ Elementary School Is Im- mediate Need The board of education did not set- tle all of the Eugene Fields school parents’ grievances when it promised to hunt up suitable location for the portables that have been removed from the school grounds to permit the building of a Junior high school. “What we need is an elementary school for our children and not a junior high,” said Mrs. Victor Rubin, secretary of the striking parents com- mittee and the most active member of it. “When we report back to our organization at our next meeting on Wednesday night we are going to see to -it that this fact is made clear to the school board. “For twenty-years, since they first plumped portables down upon us, they have been promising us an ele-;. mentary school. If we meeded it then we certainly need it more now. There are over 25,000 people in that district now. That alone should convince them that our immediate need is an elementary school, not a junior high.” The meeting will be held at 6459 Sheridan road, their usual meeting place, The children are still out and will stay out until the portables have been moved, SOVIET PROFESSOR, IN PARIS EXPERIMENTS, DRAWS EVES OF WORLD MOSCOW, (By Tass) — The Papers report that the valuable in- vesti; ions of Prof. Vinogr: Russian scholar working at the Paris Academy of Sciences, have re- cently attracted the attention of the scientific world.
