His barring of Countéss Karolyi from the United States is the logical continuation of the Hughes policy when he barred her husband last year. Both acts were dictated because the state department, under orders from Wall Street, does not want to permit the real facts regarding the loathsome Horthy regime in Hungary to become known. The charge that Countess Karolyi is a Communist is the veriest rot. Both her and her husband are bourgeois democrats, and the theory of the American government is approved by them—tho not its present practice. If Kellogg does not know this fact, his political bosses know it. But the delectable American government, as the agent of Wall Street, has an interest at stake in Horthy’s Hungary, so in order to conceal the fraudulent nature of capitalist, class’ democracy they must indulge in the absurd charge that the Karolyis are Communists. We get a splendid example of-the sort of freedom prevailing in this country when an ignorant shyster from the Minnesota hinter- land who has spent his life as the lickspittle of the grain trust can bar people from these shores at his own’ discretion. Whether they are Communists or not doesn’t matter. If Secre- tary Kellogg says they are—upon information obtained from such an unprincipled liar, swindler and scoundrel as Szechenyi, the Hun- garian ambassador, representing a murderous, thieving government —that settles the matter. Such irrelevant things as facts don’t count with him. r For the workers of this country it reveals the fact that the same gang of international plunderers, directed from Wall Street who are preparing a new series of wholesale murders of the working class in Hungary cannot defend their regime and hence dare not permit the truth to become publicly known. The Expulsion of Shafir There is nothing particularly astonishing about the fact that federal unions of the American Federation of Labor expel members on any sort of frame-up that happens to prove conyenient. But when the employes of a so-called labor institution, a labor bank, controlled by a union outside the A. F. of L. obviously with the consent of the bank officials, expel a member for introducing resolu- tions at a convention in favor. of recognition of Soviet Russia and world trade union unity, then something is rotten in Denmark. The case of Joseph Shafir, who was elected a delegate to the Atlantic City convention of the A. F. of L. and who was expelled from the union by a rump meeting called in the Amalgamated Bank headquarters, raises a number of questions. 2 First and foremost, the Amalgamated Clothing Workers’ Union professes to be a radical union. It pretends to favor recognition of Soviet Russia. By what tortuous reasoning does it tolerate the ex- pulsion of Shafir by its employes, thereby depriving him of a means INVENTION MAY DOOM PRINTING TRADES UNIONS Britisher Reveals New Typesetting Process By H, M. WICKS ‘The employing printers in conven- tion assembled at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in the city of Chicago listened yesterday to a remarkable address by A. E. Goodwin, London, England, director of the Federation of. Master, Printers of the United Kingdom and Ireland. His analysis of British’ conditions re-echoed the analysis of A, A, Pur. cell before the labor convention at Atlantic City last week. And there was as much of a chasm seperating the mental processes of Goodwin from the American employing printers as was evidenceil in the case of Pur- cell when he addressed the fossils of the American Federation of Labor. Describes Unemployment. In discussing the economic condi- tions in England, Goodwin hit the nail squarely on the head when he said that “the rise of industry among oriental people is cutting into.British manufacture. Japan and India too, are becoming. strong competitors of my country in eastern markets, there- by injuring industry in the England.” He said this competition was respon- sible for the large unemployed army. Of course he did not propose any remedy, as did the noted British labor leader who addressed the convention of American labor leaders at Atlantic City, Sees End of Typesetting Goodwin, in dealing with the tech- nical side of printing, revealed a new invention that, if put into effect, will mean the doom of typesetting as we know, it today, and throw thousands of printers out of employment. In fact it will at once blow destroy the whole basis of both the International Typo- graphical Union and the Photo-En- gravers’ Union in this and all other countries. Goodwin described a new machine now being perfected which he declar- ed reproduces any figure, letter, or photograph almost instantaneously by transfer to a sensitized film base, “J. R. C. August and E. K. Hunter of London, have been working secret- ly on this machine for the last four years, and they are about ready to demonstrate it to the world,” Goodwin said. “The machine operates like a type- writer but the whole process is almost instantaneous. The film is wound on a spool two inches in diamter and three inches wide and one spool is equivalent to 2,700 founts of type. “Tt is readily adaptable to radio control and with it a man in one city can set book pages or newspaper pages in another city.” Thus the invincible march of the THE DAILY WORKER ows for the Soviet Union---Can We Strike More? 400,000 B Rae By C. E. RUTHENBERG, General Secretary, - ...Warkers (Communist) Party ALF of our‘party has responded to the appeal of the Cen- ‘tral Executive Committee that we strike a million blows for the defense of the Soviet Union in celebrating the Eighth Anniversary of the proletarian revolution in Russia. About half of the party units have sent in orders and are organizing the distribution of the leaflet, ‘Defend the Work- ers’ Government of Russia.” The half of the party which is making this fight for the Soviet Union has organized the dis- tribution of four hundred thousand copies of the leaflet. The question which naturally arises is whether only half of the party i Soviet Union cause of the Every me ‘is mobilizing for news report ofyth that story. SCAB BOATS, NOT SCAB COAL, IS HILLQUIT CHOICE Denies Conne¢tion with Burns Bros. (Special to The Dally Worker) NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 23—Morris Hillquit is indignant. And it all hap- pened because The DAILY WORKER observed that Mawruss came home from the congress of the Second In- ternational on a ship manned by Brit- ish scab seamen to look after his al- leged interests in the Burns Brothers Coal company of New York which was importing coal from Germany and Wales to help break the anthracite strike. But Mawruss would not. write to The DAILY WORKER (vile sheet of the viler Communists) to express the pent-up indignation that -had been smouldering in his bosom along with what was left of his “socialist” consci- ence after collaboration at Marseilles with Scheidemann, Abramovich and the other Barmat leaders. Mawruss is indignant because The DAILY WORKER had charged that he was in- terested in the Burns Brothers com- pany, and he writes straight to the New York Times to answer The DAILY WORKER, speaking as fol- lows: To the Editor of The New York Times: “It has come to my notice that my alleged associatian with the firm of Burns Brothers has been repeatedly commented on, privately’and pub- licly, ni connection with the eo d- ing strike in the anthracite coal fields. Will you be kind enuf to grant me some of your valuable space for a categoric denial of this aleged association? 1 have not been counsel for Burns Brothers. since 1917. 1 do not own a single share of stock in the coporation and have no connection with it, personal, financi- al or professional.” & their party duty in helping to bring the t Union before a million workers. ‘of the party must know that capitalism w attacks on the Soviet Union. pf maneuvers of the capitalist powers tell “ig tel interested in the defense of the d i Every The answer to these maneuvers is the mobilization of the workers for the defense of the Soviet Union. Our party is beginning this campaign in relation to the celebration of the Eighth Anniversary of the Soviet Union. It has set as its aim to tell a million workers the truth about the Soviet Union thru the distribution of the party leaflet. Each leaflet is a blow for the workers’ and peasants’ republic and against ‘ capitalism. The party organizations which have not responted to the call of the Central Executive Committee must do so at once. No unit of the party can be in the position of betraying the cause of the workers and peasants of Russia by failing to join the fight for the defense of the Soviet Union. There is still time to act. 4 Mobilize the members of your branch. Organize for the distribution of the leaflet in the shops, trade unions, wher- ever the workers can be reached. Send in your order immediately to the National Office. The leaflets are $2.00 per thousand, in lots of 10,000, $1.50 per thousand. Let us strike a million blows for the Soviet Union. é CHINESE FASCISTS UNITED WITH IMPERIALISTS USE MURDERS AND JAILS AGAINST THE KUOMINTANG (Continued from page 1) apparently Shanghai. We say “is apparently”, as the authors of the above-mentioned observations remain modestly silent as to the exact loca tion of these societies and as to the nature of their participants. ‘We may clearly observe here a new tendency of the fascist movement, which is beginning to make its ap- pearance under the guardianship of the charitable British colonies. Native Merchants Hate Canton, At the same time, a wild hue and ery is being raised against Canton, the stronghold of revolutionary China, |. and military action against the Kwantung province is being prepared. One hears of the millions of dollars that this expedition is to cost and that it is being conducted by the troops of Marshal Chang-Tso-lin. It would seem that this expedition is a reply to the manifesto of the Chinese chamber of commerce in Hong Kong which, on August 29th in an appeal to all, both in China and abroad, mentioned that “the present movement in Canton is ruining the trade of Hong Kong and Canton, and that the Canton government is to blame for this, operating as it does on the basis of Russian Bolshevik principles.” “It is further indicated that the control of all military and able forces are in the hands of the Bolsheviks. As their program indicates, they intend introducing Communism, and at the same time taxation of all property and real estate. The latest measures of teh Canton government in addition to the introduction of Communism evidently still more threatening for the Hong Kong mer- chants (a one per cent tax on pro- perty introduced by the Canton gov- ernment for the support of the strik- ing workers was evidently too much for the patience of the good natured Chinese merchants of Hong Kong).” If aid is not rendered in the near red government of Canton.” This is what underlies the intended attack of Chang-Tso-lin on Canton, the murder of leaders of the people's movement in Canton, the arrests of left leaders of the Kuomintang, and the suppression of the students’ and radical press, etc. Last week, the organ of the Trade Union Council in Shanghai, and that of the Shanghai students’ union was suppressed, and what is‘ more, an order has been given that.no news- papers or publications ‘sent to these addresses be delivered. Chang Arrests Kuomintang Leader, In Peking, Comrade Cheng, editor of Minbao, one of the most promi- nent leaders of the Kuomintang was arrested, and the journal has been closed down. An insignificant incident has been used as a pretext for this, namely, an unverified note appeared concerning the death of Chang-Tso- lin, Comrade Cheng has been carried off by Chang-Tso-lin’s gendarmerie either to Tian-Tain or to Mukden. These towns are under the domination of Chang-Tso-lin, who sets up courts and established justice according to his own whims and tentatively obeys the voice of the foreign imperialists. The life of this comrade is in great danger, and the public opinion of our country is highly indignant at this new act of violence on the part of the imperialists. It is interesting to note that this same Chang-Tso-lin, in order to em- phasize his hate for the Bolsheviks has recently granted a large donation for the support of the Russian white guards in the Kharbin university.

Oct. 23.—At a well-attended mass meeting of Pitts- burgh workers arranged by the In- ternational Labor Defense branch, the following telegram of protest was sent to the Hungarian *mbassy at Washington, D. C., and Senator Borah, calling for the release of Mathias Rakosi, former people’s com- missar of the Hungarian Soviet gov- ernment and cessation of the terror- ist tactics employed by the Horthy government in Hungary: x Vigorous Protest, “Several hundred workers in mass meeting assembled last night in Pitts- burgh, Pa., resolve to wire you.their vigorous protest and indignation against the attempt of the bloody Horthy government of Hungary to murder Mathias Rakosj, former people’s commissar of Soviet Hungary without even a fair trial demand im- mediate release of Rakosi and others also demand white terror in Hungary be stopped immediately.

Scab Herders Perform Another speech before the sessions wag that of E. E. Sheldon of the Lake- side Press, owned by the notorious scabherder and strikebreaker, Donnel- ly, of Chicago. Sheldon described a trade school conducted by the Lake- side Press wherein 500 apprentice alibi proven on connection with Burns Brothers, why does he rubait in by al- luding to the “pending” »strike of an- thracite miners who, somehow, had it in their heads that went on strike Sept. 1. But laying aside triv- ialties, Mawruss has proven that he isn’t profiteer from Burns Brothers’ and then all hopes of its restoration will be lost.” ‘Such is the warning issued by the merchants. Not so Easy to Do. ¥ The imperialists during the last week have been racking their brains to think how they can suppress the liberation movement of the Chinese students’ movement, the central gov- ernment issued an order that students should only study, and not take part in matters “that do not concern them.” Fascist Murder. Calculating on the magic effects of this order, and putting an end to the week a matter of doubt. Judge Will M.

His reception was the usual polite one: given such as he by his kind. The mass of the Chicago workers know noth- ing about him and car less. In a short time another European labor leader js coming. He may or may not address the Chicago Federation of Labor. But his esming will be known and acclaimed by thousands upon thousands of Chicago workers who read of his-determined stand in defense of world trade union unity before the agents of capitalism in conyen- tion assembled at Atlantic City. That labor leader is A. A. Purcell of England. And he will address thousands of workers at a public meeting—not an exclusive gathering of delegates, Fertwangler will soon be forgotten even by those pie-card patriots who welcomed him, but Purcell will be remembered for a long time to come by the workers who will listen to his plea for unity of action on the part of the organized workers of the world and will struggle to put his demand, which is the demand of the advance guard of the working class, into effect. Our prediction yesterday that Caillaux will probably be retired to private life before the next debt commission arrives in the United States, was vindicated sooner than anticipated. According to French dispatches the picturesque finance minister tendered his resigna- turnover.

Influence of the Bolsheviks, ernment and establish “law and order” in China. Their slogan has been “no conces- sions” and “tranquility first and re- forms afterwards.” But according to even the modest calculations of the general staffs,such pacification would need an army of 200,000 men and from five to ten years military control over China to make the pacification at all hopeful. In view of the present situation of the labor movement “at home,” and in- view of the enormous expenditure that such an expedition would entail, it. is clear that it is impossible to organize such an undertaking now. The times of the “boxer rebellion” of 1901 have passed, humbly remarks the leading article of the capitalist press, ’ i “Always Friends.” “We have always been the friends of the Chinese people, there has sim- ply been a slight misunderstanding between us for which the Bolsheviks are to blame.
