ARMY HEADS LAY |FULL Inrormarion PLANS FOR NEXT ‘WORLD CARNAGE More “Appropriations to Be Demanded WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—The in- vestigation by President Ooolidge’s special board headed by Dwight’ Mor- row of Morgan & Co., into the air- craft controversy, gave the army chiefs a chance to lay their plans for the next war before the country. Acting Secretary of War Davis, Chiet of Staff Hines and Assistant Chief of Staff Drum, supported by General Patrick, chief of the army air service, took advantage of the opportunity. They presented figures and charts showing how tremendous an air force, along with other branches of the mili- tary establishment, have been mapped out for the war that may come. One thing made clear was that the army wants the American people to Dut up a good many millions to buy Coast defense guns that can be aimed at aireraft. Gen. Drum suggested 850 big guns and 520 machine guns for the anti-aircraft defense of the New York region. The present number of army air service officers on active duty is 921, with 8,564 enlisted men. This would be enlarged to 4,000 of- ficers and 25,000 enlisted mon as a first step.

SCARBOROUGH, Engl., (F.P.)—“It seems to me, that we are entering upon a new phase of development in the upward struggle of our class,” said A. B, Swales, president of the British Trade Union Congress, in opening the annual meeting. “All around are signs of an awakening consciousness in the peoples of all countries that the present system of society is condemn- ed..... The backward centres of industrial and political slavery are rising in revolt against the capitalist order of society; and so we see India, China, and other Hastern coun- tries in the throes of upheaval and WANT A RAISE Los Angeles, and other party centers of the west will arrange mass member-| But They. Beg Congress ship meetings to be addressed by a representative of the Committ jentral Executive WORKER CORRESPONDENTS GIVE VIEWS AND SUGGESTIONS TO DAILY WORKER More valuable suggestions have been received by the DAILY WORKER as a feature of International Press Day. Readers also tell us how the DAILY WORKER is valuable to them. Charlotte F. Jones, of West Chester, Pa. says: “I read the DAILY WORKER because I am a Communist.” Comrade Jones promises to bec ome a worker correspondent fér the DAILY WORKER, and declares that “a certain space should be given especially to the dates of meetings and other announcements”, and de- clares that the language used should be such that the workers can easily understand it. “I read the DAILY WORKER and I am very much interested in, its welfare,"writes S. Weinberg from Philadelphia, Pa. “Therefore I in- duce other workers to read it and to subscribe. It does not compete with the yellow press, but speaks for the workers. It answers with facts every lie the capitalist sheets tell. Consid- ering that the DAILY WORKER has to cover a national demand, there is very little more to be desired from the contents, until we have a DAILY WORKER in every important local- ity. “Those who have never seen the Daily before like the articles. There- fore I always manage to have a few clippings of what I think is interest- ing.

State: MINNEAPOLIS PARTY MEMBERSHIP MEETING ON SUNDAY, SEPT. 27 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn, Cept. 25.— The Minneapolis Workers Party membership meeting will be held on Sunday Sept. 27th at 1 p. m. at the Finnish Hall, 1317 Western Ave., North. Comrade J. Louis Engdahi will report for the C. E. C, on the national convention and the imme diate tasks for our party with re- gard to Bolshevization and reorgan- ization. All other party activities Instead of Striking WASHINGTON--(F, P.)—Returned from their eigtk convention, held in Boston, President Steward and Sec- retary McNally of, the National Fed- eration of Federal Employes announce @ membership drive in support of a program of wage increases and other betterments which must be secured from Congress. They argue that the postoffice workers secured a salary increase of $300 a year because they are organized nearly 100 percent. Federal employes outside the postal and other industrial branches of the public service are still far from that degree of group consciousness, A minimum salary of $1,500 for all full time adult employes was the outstanding economic demand made by this convention. Other points in the program include a Saturday half holiday the year around, establish- ment of sick leave as a right, increas- ed travelling allowance, liberalization of the present old-age retirement law, fair administration of the classifica-" tion law for the District of Columbia, rec! fication of the field services, a six-day week for all services, overtime pay for work’ in!'excess of regular hours, preferential treatment of em- Ployes dropped:from the rolls, aboli- tion of the personnel classification are called off for this meeting and | board, and payment by the govern- every member must attend, ee by securing subs and displaying it on it. Let us all try hard and give the DAILY WORKER a decent circulation the stands.” “I read the DAILY WORKER be- cause I feel that I am getting the real facts,” says V. K. D., of New ment of premiums on bonds bonded employes: Steward and Miss McNally point out the necessity for an immediate and thorough membership drive, to make the influence of the organization felt in every congressional district in the country, ' « for York. The world’s facts are put in) Boss Dictatorship a simple and clear manner. “There is not enough variety of subject matter for, both Communists and neutral workers” he adds. “The m gazine page in the Saturday’s issue is interesting. Also the ‘As we See it’ column is good. There should be a special column every day for worker correspondent stories.” From “A. J. MacPhee of Milwaukee comes the word, “I read the DAILY WORKER because it is the only workingclass daily published in the English language. Considering the size of the field to be covered by one English language paper, I see no shortcomings except those due to lack of funds.” Wayne Adamson, of Chicago, says “T read the DAILY WORKER because it prints the true facts about the affairs of the workers and is not afraid to come out on their side. It always comes to the aid of the workers in all their difficulties, exposes the labor faker wherever and whenever he shows himself. The DAILY WORK- ER explains to the workers how they have been and are now being betrayed by those human parasites. There are few shortcomings, if any.” Socialists Get Fitting Recognition by League Deports One Wobbly; Another Threatened SAN FRANCISCO—(F.P.) — Pat O'Hara, arrested in a raid on Marine Transport headquarters ijn San Fran- cisco last December, and held eight months on Angel Island for deporta- tion, has at last been deported to his home in New Zealand. An effort is also being made to deport James Ol- son, @ criminal syndicalism prisoner in San Quentin who will be released mext February. The Defense Com- mittee has started proceedings to quash this action, High Tension Wire Kills Andrew Pauilena, 45, died here early today when he attempted tu re- move a high tension wire from a puddle of water. Pauilena was re- pairing @ temporary lighting system on a construction job, power for which was taken from an arc light.

Just as our people |have passed out of slavedom into serfdom, and out of serfdom into wagedom, so will they finally pass out of wagedom into freedom.” These sentences sum up the main conclusions of a speech filled with references to the failure of capitalism and to the necessity for the working class to take hold of the economic and technical institutions and create a new social order. ‘The workers must sweep away such a system and replace it by a structure based upon co-operation, and in which every man and woman will be assured the full fritits of their labor.” President Swales gave a careful re- view of the present economic situation in the British Isles, and pointed out how the low standards in India and China were cutting under British living and working conditions, Membership in the Trade Union Congress is about thirty thousand greater than it was in 1924. The number of delegates at the 1926 congress is 724, representing an affiliated membership of 4,342,982. The number of unions, on the other hand, shows a steady decrease, as the process of consolidation is still in full swing. There are. 15 per cent fewer separate unions in the United Kingdom than there were in 1920, Madison Pharmacy INC.

For the first time in the history of international class solidarity, we hear the voice of the Chinese workers calling to the workers of other countries for a helping hand. . For the first time in the history of proletarian revolts in Chita, we find the Chinese workers awakening to the spirit of international proletarianism. For the first time in history the Chinese workers are beginning to understand the true meaning of capitalism, militarism, and exploitation. t THEY ARE AWAKENING! Im all the principal cities of China today, the workers are rising in revolt against their oppressors, feeling the breath of freedom that comes to them from the workers’ government of Soviet Russia, they too, want to be free. The iron hand of international imperialism is pressing harder and harder upon their throats in an effort to starve them and keep them in submission, abject slavery and servitude. The success of international capitalism spells starvation, exploita- tion, imprisonment and death for the workers of all countries, MUST THEY STARVE?
