“LOONEY GAS")? | MANUFACTURE TO BE PEMITTED DuPont Confident of ‘ Whitewash By ESTHER LOWELL, Federated Press Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—The DuPonts are not manufacturing tetracthyl lead, the poison used to treat gasoline in making the motor fuel ethyl gas, but the DuPonts expect to begin making tetraethyl lead again “as soon as the government investigators report. fav- orably,” their representative at the national exposition of the chemtical industries has told many of those viewing the exhibit. According to his statement the DuPonts expect to be whitewashed by the committee mominated by the U. S. public health service to-investgiate the deaths of 11 workers employed in making tetra- ethyl lead and thy] gas, Organized labor will have a.chance to consider whether the DuPonts, Standard Oil and General Motors companies are being whitewashed by the government when labor's repres- entative and: the directors of the Workers Health Bureau attend the conference at which the tetraethyl lead is made public, Six Negro Workers Killed in Railway Tunnel in Virginia RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 5.—Tom Mason, engineer, is believed to have been killed, and six Negro workmen are missing, as the result of a cave- in of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail- road tunnel at Church Hil] which trapped more than two score men en- gaged in reinforcing its walls. Most of the workmen, however, dug themselves out and crawled to safety, but police officials declared there was little hope for any remaining in the tunnel. Gases drove the rescue work- ers from the tunnel shortly after nightfall and it was believed those entombed could not survive the pois- onous fumes. No Ships to Egypt. MOSCOW, Oct. 5.— (Tass).— The Soviet Commercial fieet issued ord- ers prohibiting the landing in Alex- andria to the soviet steam ships of the eastern line owing to systematic: al attempts on the part of British authorities to pick quarrels with soviet vessels and to the compulsorily embark on the S.

WARSAW, Oct. 5.—The fearless fighter of the British laboring masses, Lantsutsky, who has only just been sentenced to 3 years hard labor in Lodz, will in a few days, for the third time, Polish nobility and gentry, in Warsaw. stand before his judges, consisting of One would think, that there*is nothing more foul than, after the bloody debauch of the field court martial—to heard-of terror. frame up so swiftly new deeds of un- One would think, that the blood of those latest victims of the Polish secret service, murdered in the citadels of Warsaw had not yet cooled down. even in their own interests,—in the interests of this band of wolves—a breathing space would have been ad- vantageous in this work of assassina- tion.. No wonder, that the Polish so- cialist party organ Robotnik has been sounding an alarm for the past week. in a poorly hidden cry of alarm, it points out the stormy protests of ‘the widest circles of European public op- inion against the crimes of Polish jus- tice. And when the Polish socialist party, the faithful and sensitive lackey to the bourgeoisie, becomes restless— this ts without doubt a symptom of a great moral blow from the outside against the foul regime of the Polish Republic, And yet the governing clique is framing, one after another, at in- creased speed, trials against Lantsut- sky. Having washed their bloody hands, the bourgeoisie, this time be- hind the shield of a “normal trial,” is enacting its next crime—this time, however, in white gloves Lantsut- sky’s name, is repeated by millions with a fervor of Sympathy and love, This sympathy was embodied in the Protests of all that was best. in the laboring masses in many countries against the spoilation of the police in Poland. Botvin has fallen—Gibner, Knievski and Rutkowski have fallen —but with all the more enthusiasm do the glances of the Polish masses go up to the building of the Mokoloy Barracks in Warsaw. AM the more readily and warmly is the hand of fra- ternal aid outstretched to the com- rades imprisoned. With a similar cynicism to that which was displayed in the Lodz trial, have been framed up the two “indictments” against Comrade Lant- sutsky in his’ trial in Warsaw. The “accused” is, amongst other things, “accused” of, that: at his Open, depu- ties’ meeting where he gave a report of his activities, he dared to prove, that “the only way out of the position was by overthrowing the bourgeois sys- tem.” “The accused” dared “to criti- clze the activities of other labor or- ganizations” (the treacherous Polish socialist party). The prosecution has another “trump” up its sleeve, It has fished up and old open letter written by Lantsutsky to the President of the council of ministers, in November; 1922! In his brilliant letter, Lantsut- sky in the name of all those striving for the better future of Poland, scorn- fully challenged the “democracy,” Showing up all the, foulness of the “democracy,” showing up all the foul- ness of the bourgeoisie and landown- ers, who had by means of bribery and deceit framed up “free” parliamentary elections. The accused, you see, will Dot stoop to deny his own official, le- gal act—this accusation will be read and accepted smothly and without un- necessary hestitaiton, 5 On the other hand, the present mo- ment appears to Polish justice as most handy to plant a blow as heavy as pos- sible in the back of the Communist fraction in the sejm.

Everything was held in readiness for the murder and it would have taken place if it had not been for the activity of the cheka. The cheka nipped the plot in the bud and thus an attempt by the “international” organization to create strife between Japan and Soviet Russia was averted. Capitalist Press Hysterious.

In consideration of the fact that 9 8 per cent of the Negro group in Amer- ica are wage workers and farm workers, this body will be more represent- ative of the race than was the Sanhedrin, which met here a little over a year ago. The Sanhedrin was strict- ly a petty bourgeois group and its in- terests were with those of the Negro petty bourgeoisie and not with that of the great Negro proletariat. This was shown by the fact that during the whole time convened only a small portion of. its time was allotted to the important question of Negro labor. This question should be paramount with any group that professes to have the welfare of the Negro at heart. The Negro is beginning to realize that organization is the only way to effectively combat the forces that are at work against him. The realization of this fact by the Negro workers is beginning to be a source of anxiety to the capitalists dnd their henchmen of the daily press. That this awaken- ing of the Negro masses is a source of growing concern among the capi- alists has been amply demonstrated »y articles and editorials of these same capitalist newspapers. The policies these papers when they do mention the Negro at all (and that is usually to magnify some petty crime than an individual Negro commits as a racial stigma) has been to use a sarcastic and ironic tone, always trying to belittle any attempt on the part of the Negro at self-assertion, These policies will be continued as long as the Negro re- mains unorganized. But now that he is beginning to learn the proper solu- tion of the problem, that is, organiza- tion in the proletarian movement of the world, their concern becomes apparent. These articles also show that they have woefully underesti- mated the intelligence of the Negro masses, The Negro should not be fooled by the hypocritical attitude adopted by these papers in their willingness to offer advice. He should see that their advice to him to follow their old leaders is a terrible indictment against these same leaders: There- fore, the only safe policy for the Negro to pursue is that policy which is in direct opposition to this advice. We have great cause to doubt the Sincerity of this advice by the late- ness of its appearance. Self preservation has forced the Negro into his present position, and no force at the command of the cap- italists can keep him from taking his rightful place among the proletariat of the world, i pursue Lowell Mohair Plush Workers to Organize United Textile Union LOWELL, Mass., Oct. 5.—Opening an organization campaign in Lowell, open-shop cotton goods town, the United Textile Workers’ Union held a mass meeting with several hundred mohair plush workers present. LIBERTY RULING ASKED OF U. S, SUPREME COURT Bar Association Head ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 5.—‘‘We have had a great many, decisions on what congress or a state cannot do in re- gard to life and property but few in regards to liberty” said Chaster I. Long, president of the American Bar Association, speaking on the Tennes- see evolution law and other restrict- ive “educational” measures before the Missouri Bar, Association. He de- clared that national freedom of learn- ing is in peril “In Nebraska and Iowa, laws were passed that no one should teach any language in the schools except above the eighth grade,” the speaker said, “In Ohio, no teacher could teach Ger- man below the eighth grade and Ore- gon passed a law that destroyed all private schools between certain grades. Education was to be control- led by the state. “The supreme court of the United States said these states deprived & teacher of his liberty. In Tennessee, the state says you cannot teach any subject in the public schools that dif- fers from the story of the origin of man as told in the bible.” War Correspondent Gets His. FEZ, Oct. 5.— Colonnel Reginald Kahn, war correspondent of Le Temps of Paris, was killed yesterday, after- noon by Riffian -builets during the French advance near D’Erkeur. TPOLISH WORKERS INSPIRED BY U, S, ONSTRATIONS White Terror Protest Proves Solidarity When Count Alexander Skrzynski, minister of foreign affairs of the white terror government of Poland visited Chicago, the Workers (Communist) Party organized a demonstration, and the Chicago Conference to Aid Political Prisoners in Poland, issued an open letter to Skrzynski condemning his government for murdering hundreds of workers and imprisoning 8,000 workers and peasants. News about this reached the work- ers in Poland thru the Polish Com- munist daily Mlot (The Hammer), published at Minsk, the capital city of the White-Russian Soviet Republic. This paper is circulated in Poland il- legally. Mlot gives a full story of the demonstration and mass meéting at which Comrades Lewis, Engdahl, Ge- bert and Stolar spoke. Mlot point out that this demonstra- tion has proven the international sol- idarity of the workers, that the work- ers in Chieago are helping the work- ers of Poland in their struggles, call- ing attention to the fact that Polish workers in Chicago participated in the demonstration, proving that Count Skrzynski was not‘able to fool them with patriotic buncombe. The demonstrations made in Amer- ica for aid of Lantzutsky were also an inspiration to the workers of Poland. Big Tractor Demand in Soviet Russia MOSCOW, Oct. 5.—(Tass)—One of the urgent questions of agriculture in the U. S. S. R. is that of tractors. According to the data of the people’s commissariat of agriculture, there are about 7,500 tractors in the territory of the Union; 6,000 were imported from abroad, 1,000 prepared in the Union and 500 left over from the pre- war time. The territory of’ the land ploughed by tractors amounts to 675,000 hectars, while the whole territory is 883,441,000 hectars. This shows how many trac- tors are needed by Soviet peasants. The demand is enormous and up to May 1 various peasants’ co-operative societies and organizations have made 20,000 applications for tractors. It is expected that the demand will be much greater in the next year in view of the excellent crop this season. Take this copy of the DAILY WORKER. with you to.the shop tomorrow.
