Page Four ee The International Red Aid Calls for Protest Against the Horthy White Terror COOLIDGE. WILL MAKE THIRD TRY TO NAME WARREN Sargent to Resign, and Take Senatorship (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—Rumors circulating thru the capitol at Wash- ington have it that President Calvin Coolidge will make another attempt | to name Charles Beecher Warren as member of his cabinet. The present Attorney General Sar- gent is to retire and accept the va- cancy to be made by Senator Green | who is recuperating from injuries re- ceived in a fight with some bootleg- gers and is expected to resign as senator from Vermont. Expect to Pass Him Now The president feels that ‘Warren's | nomination will be accepted this time by the senate as two of those who opposed the administration, Ralston | of Indiana and Ladd of North Dakota have died. In place of the democrat | Ralston, a regular republican machine man has been appointed. No one will be appointed to succeed Ladd of North Dakota. The first time that Warren’s nomi- nation was defeated was a tie vote. General Dawes, organizer of the “Minute Men of the Constitution,” slept a little too long that morning, and after further discussion the vote was against Warren. Whitewash Beet Sugar Trust The second time the nomination ap- peared Warren was defeated. At- tempts will now be made to renomin- ate him.

The | worst tetror of Horthy of the years }1919 and 1920 has returned. Hun- dreds of workers and peasants who |were condemned six years ago for | participation in the Hungarian Soviet |Tepublic are still pining in Hungarian | prisons, and Horthy and his govern- |ment are again seeking for fresh vic- | tims from the ranks of the ‘Hungarian proletariat for the dungeon and the gallows. The counter-revolution in Hungary has not slaked its thirst for revenge. Workers and peasants are to be thrown into prison on account |of their opinions, and on account of cde having participated six years | ago in the Soviet republic. RKING men and women! You must not tolerate the employment Jagain of the bloody methods of Horthy. The Hungarian working and peasant proletariat expects your help, Mathias Rakosi expects the support of fellow workers in all countries. The workers, peas- ants and intellectuals must every- where raise their voices in sharpest protest against the brutal regime of violence and torture in Hungary. The ROUMANIAN FEDERATION MEET BACKS PARTY REORGANIZATION At.a conferencé held on oe October 11, rades of the Roumanian section of the Workers (Communist) Party, ee steps were taken regarding reorganization. We herewith reprint the resolution which was adopted de the Rouman-| | ian comrades endorsing reorganization: “Due to the composition of the+ working class of America, Wherein a | ference, great number of workers are foreign- born and divided in different national- ities, the Workers Party of America is of necessity composed of different federations. Federation Outworn Form “The federation form of organiza- tion, having served the purpose of uniting the class conscious elements, cannot function properly in partici- pating in the politcal struggles. “Based on this experience, the Workers Party of America has deci- ded on its reorganization on the basis of shop nuclei, and has adopted a cen- tralized form of organization, instead of the present form of federations. Realizing however the necessity for propaganda and education being carried on among the foreign-born workers, provisions are made for the formation of workmen’s clubs, in place of the present language branch- es. “The representatives of the Rouman- ian Federation of the Workers Party of America, meeting in special con- PARTIES ee New Fok Hunga St., Ne Yorkvi Saturday, Oct. 31— | Rescue Party || Saturday, Oct. 31— || Rescue Party West Side Workers’ Hall, 301 West 29th St., New York.

Auspices Workers of a group of leading com- Sunday, October 11, 1925, approved the program for reorganiza- | tion, and decided that: Join Shop of Street Nucleus “1, The members of the federation are to be immediately attached to a shop or street nucleus. The federa- tion shall be considered as attached | to the party, and workmen’s clubs shall be organized in place of branch- es. “2. These clubs are to be connect- ed with the administration of the paper Desteptarea for the purpose of supervising their activities. “3. The purpose of these clubs is to promote the interests of the Rou- manian workers of America, to carry | on educational work on the basis of | the class struggle, amongst the Rou- | manian workers. ‘4, Way and means of carrying out the education among the Roumanian workers is by supporting and widely circulating the official organ of the Roumanian section, the Desteptarea and by distributing educational liter-+ ature among the Roumanian workers. Carry On All Activities “General activities, such as public meetings, educational lectures, con- ferences, etc., and social gatherings, ing groups, sports, etc., as a means of recreation, and broadening the gen- eral knowledge of the Roumaniay workers, are to be employed also. “The activities of the clubs will be carried on independent of any politic- al party, and therefore any worker can become a member of the club, re- gardless of his or her political opin- ion, so long as he or she supports and adheres to the class struggle, and is for the emancipation of the work- ing class.” a , THE DAILY WORKER Hungarian government must be made to realize that the times are past in which it could exercise undisturbed its reign of terror with the aid of bestial officers’ bands and police. ‘ORKERS, peasants and intellectu- als in all countries! Raise your voice in protest against the brutal persecution and the sup- pression of the workers’ and peas- ants’ movement in’ Hungary! Raise your voice in protest against the arrest of workers.and peasants and honest and brave labor leaders! Protest against the special courts and the new blood justice which is be- ing prepared! Demand at protest meetings and resolutions, which should be sent to the Hungarian government and com- | rades: The immediate release of the ar- | rested- The immediate abandonment of all trials, The punishment of those responsi- ble for the mishandlings and tortures.

Contro! would be acquired by the purchase by Ford of 63,763 shares of common and 59,326 shares of pre- ferred stock in the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton railway. At the same time, the auto king asked the commission for authority to issue 123,088 shares of common stock, par value $100, and $10,ST5,- 500 worth of first mortgage, 5 per cent bonds, on the Detroit & Iron- ton railway, which he has owned for several years.

PITTSBURGH WORKERS PARTY TAKES UP REORGANIZATION TASKS AT MEMBERSHIP MEET PITTSBURGH, Oct., 26—On Octob er 18, a city membership meeting for the purpose of taking up concretely the question of sporesuination: of the party was held in Pittsburgh. More than one hundred comrades accordance with the provisions of the special committee “wag chosen follow up and secure the registration | of all those party members who happened to be absent from this meet: | ing. There were some members who failed to come to this meeting, due to the fact that they had been previ- ously excused for other special party work. The meeting was considered an all rqund success and a good beginning for the reorganization of the party in this city. The intention is to complete the reorganization within two weeks time. A committee is also at work classi- fying the registration blanks and pre- paring for the organization of shop nuclei. Comrades who cannot be at- tached to shop nuclei will be organ- ized into various street nuclei, Definite meeting dates will be arranged for each of the new party units. No diffi- culty is expected in the process of reorganization, Search for Three Men. BOSTON, Oct, 27.—The coast guard cutter Acushnet, a seaplane and two patrol boats were searching the waters off the Maine coast near Rock- |, land, for trace of three men in a dory, while their disabled three masted schooner, the J, D. Webster was being towed into Rockland by the coast guard cutter Red Wing, according to an announcement at the coast guard headquarters here, { to+ were present and were registered, in national haber 2 ahr, gna A UNIONS WELCOME PURCELL MESSAGE Among Labor Unions KANSAS CITY, Mo. Oct. 27—Mark- ed interest has been shown by Locals when the committees told them who Purcell was and that his subject was ‘World Trade Union Unity.’ Barney McCoy and R. Eastwood, business re- presentative of the Meat Cutters’ Local, have been canvassing the unions that have met at the Labor Temple and have had commendable success, A big turn out is expected for the meeting November 4th, when Bill Green, president of the A. F. of L. spoke here some months ago at a well advertised meeting among union- ist he had an overflowing crowd of some two hundred people. Response in this city must be gauged from a relative standpoint. The local inter- est is keeping pace with the nearness of the date and workers are looking forth to a threat of their lives. Some trade unionists do not know ; What it is all about from a world standpoint but they realize the neces- sity of unity from a local standpoint, for the craft disputes are breaking the solidarity that must exist for workers to maintain and advante their posi- tion. They see it from a local stand- point in spite of the false leadership and they will understand it from a world standpoint when they have it presented to them by A. A.

JUDGES ASSIST RAIL COMPANY TO BOOST FARES An injunction was granted to the Chicago & Northwestern railway 1; straining the Illinois commerce com- interfering with the collection of the increased suburban passenger fares now effective on the roads. Judges James H. Wilkerson, A. B. Anderson and Adam C. Cliffe granted the company a temporary injunction upholding the fare increase which the | company had been granted by the In- terstate commerce commission, When the company appealed to the Iilmois commerce commission for a ware increase last year, claiming that the road would have a deficit of $12,- 000,000 if an increase in rates was not granted, the Illinois commission | after investigating the company’s de- mand decided that the fare increase was uncalled for and refused to grant it. The company then went before the interstate commerce commission, where they received an order allow- ing them to boost fares. The state attorney contended that | the judge could not issue the order | as the fare increase was not an inter- state problem but an intrastate. The judge waved aside all objections and fa temporary injunction was granted. | The date for arguing the permanent | injunction has not been set. Saw Light on S-51, BOSTON, Oct. 27.—Twenty minutes before the steamship City of Rome rammed and sank the submarine S-51, with a loss of 33 lives, the captain of the liner and his first officer’ at the wheel observed the Hehts of the un- | dersea boat. | This was the gist of the testimony given at the naval inquiry into the disaster by Timothy L. Drier, third officer of the City of Rome, a resi- dent of Savannah, Ga. RUSSIAN SECTION IS $ MOBILIZING UNITS TO SAVE DAILY WORKER The central bureau of the Russian section of the Workers (Communist) Party of America has unanimously adopted the following resolution, as at appeal to its branches to come to the “The Communit press is a powerful" means of reaching thousands and thousands of workers, with the real news from the trenches of the class Struggle, and with the message of Leninism. “In this country we have about 26 such Communist papers. But the most important of all these papers is our DAILY WORKER—the only Commun- ist daily in the English language in the world, “Comrades, The DAILY WORKER must be supported not only ‘by our English speaking membership. Our Russian comrades, as well as all other language sections comrades, together with the English speaking comrades, must take the responsibility for the maintenance of our chief organ, The DAILY WORKER which is the main source of Communist propaganda in this country, “Comrades, our DAILY WORKER— the weapon that protects the work- ing class against the bosses, is in danger! “para dur great efforts and sacri- fices, we established The DAILY WORKER. We received with joy the first issue of our daily, It is up to aid of The DAILY WORKER: 1s now to keep the daily going. We nust enlist not only the entire party membership, but also workers who are not yet members of the party to help The DAILY WORKER as the organ of their class. The -DAILY WORKER. belongs to those who toil. It is they, the workers, who will sacrifice their hard earned pennies to keep it alive! “Comrades! Are you ready? The DAILY WORKER depends on you! “The Russian section has design- ated November as the Red Month of agitation and propaganda for the pur- pose of getting new members into the ranks of the party, for the purpose of rallying the Russian workers around the Novy Mir and The DAILY WORKER. “The bureau calls upon its branch- es not to wait until November to get financial support for The DAILY WORKER.

Last night two more sections met and I believe the same atténdance occured. “We gave them the enclosed mate- rial and a copy of the registration | card. The committee decided to be- gin registration in branches during the week October 25th to November 8th and to complete registration at the section meetings. We feel that this gives us better success in registration without interfering in any arrange- ment; especially is this so, for if we were to get mobilization of the mem- bership for the meetings, the com- rades who visit them at the homes can at the same time get their re- gistration. To facilitate registration, we asked the financial secretaries to fill out the names and addresses of the comrades, This will give us clear- ly the names and addresses. We also asked them to fill out, first of all, the place of employment, as this is the most essential bit of information. “We divided the city into eleven sections.
