Delegate J. Doyle, of the Painters’ Union, told of some experience with Comm ts in a free speech fight in Buffalo, New York. Robert Dunn, of the Civil Liberties Union, who was present in the convention hall, and who helped fight this case, declared Communists were not imvolved and that Doyle had his facts all wrong.

A swing to the left in the socialist party in Berlin has forced them into a united front. Even tho all the avowedly bour- geois parties unite against the Com- munists and socialists it is doubt- ful if they can defeat them. With the present alignments remaining intact a unanimous victory is as- sured for the proletarian elements. A pronounced drift of former so- cialists to the Communist standard also forced action on the part of the local socialists to save their organization from assimilation by the Communists. succeed in completely harnessing ai an to their chariot in their attempt to bring China under British domina- tion. U. S, Out For Moneybags. With regard to the policy of Amer- ica, it would be a great mistake to believe that the Americans. would re- noumce the special foreign courts which secure a privileged position to the foreign capitalists. The majority of the American capitalists think just as the English capitalists and are ‘of the opinion that the holy work of the capitalists cannot be under the jurisdiction of a court of “Chinese barbarians.” The Americans, how- ever, are less keen upon the outward form of foreign prestige in China and are ready to grant a number of concessions regarding small and min- or questions which do not affect the American money bags, but which, to some opinion, The Americans are making a great fuss over the fact that they are study- ing the question of extra-territoriai rights, in order to show the Chinese the prospects of a way out of the present situation. “Introduce proper laws and then we will gladly meet your demands for the abolition of capitalist privileges in China.” U. S. Holds Few Trumps. As a matter of fact, however, the Americans-are endeavoring to gét two trumps in their hands; the first tramp will consist in allowing the Chinese customs duties to be raised. The question is exceedingly impor- tant for the Chinese bourgeoisie and for the Chinese government. For the Chinese bourgeoisie, ber cause ,the present low and uniform tariff has permitted the foreign bour- geoisie to over-flood China with its goods. The raising of the customs duties however, will render it pos- sible for the Chinese bourgeoisie to build up its own industry. This, however, is not dangerous for Amer- ica, extent, pacify Chinese public Develop Industry, By means of free competition Amer- ica will be able to beat the capitalists of other countries. As regards the growth of Chinese industry, the Amer- ican bourgeoisie, which has sufficient capital for export at its disposal, is beginning to set up, at a rapid rate industrial undertakings under the pro- tection of the new Chinese customs duties, Wrap your lunch in a copy of the DAILY WORKER and give it (the DAILY WORKER, not the lunch) to your shop-mate. | GAILLAUX NOW FACES CHARGE OF PARTY TREASON ON POLICY (Special to The Daily Worker) Oct. 14.—Finance Minis- ter Caillaux faces a far more dif- ficult situation in the chamber of deputies than he faced in Wash- ington, If his experience with the finance committee is any indication of coming even le gave a re- sume of the financial situation for the cabinet this morning and then became the object of attack by the finance committee of the chamber of deputies, which has just exam- ined the budget for 1926 and wants to know where the money ie coming from. The extremists ainong the deputies are demanding a capital levy and a reduction of direct taxes. At the close of the committee hearings, Caillaux will go to Nice, where his party is in convention and will be charged with treason e that party for his Perera pol- joy. The fall of the franc below that of the Belgian franc raises doubts as to whether Caillaux can weather the Impending. storm. cA Ct ed RRC ered Ba THE DA bie WORKER SIMS S NEXT The Processjon Gains Strength and Volume KEY OPERATORS | Lithuanian Workers Literary As- Finnish Branch, Workers Party, , i ' sociation, Denver, "Colo, ...... 10.00} Temple, Me. 20.00 Charlotte Anita Whitney, Oak- English Branch, Workers Party, 4 BE N IN AIR lend; Gait’ 7 oe 6,00| San Jose, Calif, 1.00 ‘ BE.

San Francisco Strike of Waiters Off; Craft Unionism m Aids Bosses By JOSEPH-W. SMITH, (Worker Correspondent.) SAN FRANCISCO, Oet. 14—The San Francisco waiters who have been on strike have returned to work, beat- en by craft unionism in the uneven battle. They decided it a lost cause when they had not only their own bosses to fight, but the industrial as- sociation and their fellow craftsmen, the cooks, who were union-scabbing on the job. In such circumstances it is lke the poor serf trying to conquer the Ro- man empire with a wooden sword, But the fight was not im vain. At least two-thirds of the waiters have found out that craft unionism belongs to the dark ages. Co-operative Trading company Waukegan, Ill, Tom Ray, McDonald, Pa.
