Page Two sect as THE DAILY WORKER DELEGATION OF NORTH AFRICANS LAUDS RIFFIANS Pledges Allegiance in Moroccan War (Special to The Daily Worker) TARGHEEST, Morocco, Nov. 2.—A delegation of French Moroccans, head- ed by Abd-el-Kader Tazi, presented a declaration of allegiance to the Rif- fians,* fighting for the independence of Morocco, in the name of the “op- pressed millions of the Sheriffian em- pire.” -In this declaration of allegiance, which is considered one of the most important developments of the Rif- flan war for independence, it states that the “oppressed millions in the so-called French protectorate look to Abd-el-Krim for their salvation and their liberation.” Fight for Freedom In another section of the declara- tion, Abd-el-Krim is admonished in the name of the Islamic religion and the common cause of Moroccan free- dom, not to make peace with Europe until Morocco is totally evacuated by Buropean troops and the French pro- tectorate is definitely surrendered. The delegation that presented thfs declaration of allegiance was met with great enthusiasm by the Riffans who have successfully fought the combined forces of France and Spain. French Line Stationary The French army has been unable to make any advances. On one or two fronts they have been forced to re- treat by the attacking Riffs. The bombing planes of the French failed to accomplish their purpose, when dropped a number of bombs over the Riffian headquarterss here, as the dugouts, built by captured Senegalese and French troops, are built so that airraids accomplish but very little. HOW THE ANTHRACITE STRIKERS, ARE BEING BETRAYED, WILL'BE TOLD BY PROGRESSIVE LEADER (Continued from page’ one) plaining bitterly that their officers are doing nothing to bring their strike to a@ successful conclusion. Hunger is now being felt in many of the antrha- cite valleys, while stock coal has been washed, loaded and hauled to the market from many small washeries. Appeal in Vain to Officials. The mine workers’ officials: have been appealed to in many meetings of the union to bring out all the maintenance men and stop. the wash- ing and loading of stock coal. The workers realize that as long as the union permits the coal companies to load the enormous stocks of inferior coal, the longer will victory “be.jde- layed. The union officials have as yet made no effort to bring out the Maintép- ance men, while the coal owners are happy with the knowledge that they are receiving monumental § profits from the inferior stock coal, dnd that the union is keeping their. property in excellent working condition. Suspect a Sell Out, This condition of affairs .thruout the valley has brot about extreme bitterness against the miners’. offici- als, and many miners informed the writer that it was their belief that some of the union officials were being paid by the coal operators to allow the small washeries to operate. Be that as it may, the miners have be- come disgusted with this condition to such an extent that many of them feel that if any success will attend their efforts in this strike they—the militant miners themselves —must have more to say about its conduct. The miners who worked at amine near the city of Troup, have day after day since the strike commenced, eee watched the mine washeries in opera- tion. The inferior stock coal washed and loaded by their own union broth: ers and sent on to the market, every pound of coal being used to defeat them in their strike for a living wage, and this with the full knowledge of their officials. Use Direct Action, Time and again the miners have appealed to the officials about this condition, but nothing was done by the officials to stop it, and finally the miners themselves, accompanied by their wives and families, marched to the mine and washeries, and chased the workers off the premises. Those miners were goaded to des- peration by the lack of interest in their behalf by the union officials, and were forced to act themselves, which act resulted in victory.

WORKERS IN BIG STRIKE Leads Struggle (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 2.—Un- exampled courage and .determination has marked the strike of the hitherto unorganized Greek. fur workers of New York, t ‘These workers from <1,000 to 1,500 strong, toiling in over 200 open shops for the last few years, have been Left Wing Executive | || British Exploiters Are Finding Enjoyment in Jailing of Communists By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL. \ TT OPA: even the plaintive pleas of George Lansbury, paci- fist laborite editor, who has some sympathy for the Union of Soviet Republics, fails to cover the ugly hag of British “democracy” with even a thin veil of pretense that the workers of “the empire” have any right to the enjoyment of civil liberties. This very transparent shroud has been ripped off this dead thing in the colonies, especially in India, Egypt, and South Africa, where the king’s rule jails and kills work- ruthlessly _ exploited “beyond the belief of almost anyone, because of their lack of organization. The former right wing reactionaries in charge of the administration of thé New York joint board of the Furriers’ Union never even attempted to organ- ize the Greek fur workers. Left Wing Joint Board Acts. Four weeks ago, however, the new union administration, led by Ben Gold, left wing manager of the joint board, began a vigorous campaign to bring to these oppressed workers, the power and aid of the Furriers’ Union. Mass meétings were called, leaflets printed and the joint board determined to or- ganize the Greek shops at all costs and enforce union conditions. To aid the Greek ‘furriers in join- ing, the joint board reduced initiation fees for them to only 20 per cent of the regular charge and in addition spent thousands of dollars to make the organization drive a success. No energy was saved and full speed ahead was the word passed down the line. On Tuesday October 27, the call for the general strike in the Greek shops was announced at @ big mass meet- ing of Greek fur workers. The next morning the workers in,'the fur dis- ers fighting for their class. But it remained for the attack on the British Communist Party, the Young Communist League and the\Minority Movement in the trade unions, to help shat- ter a little more the idea that revolutignary workers in the British homeland have the right to speak, write and meet freely. Oo RS ee Poor Lansbury, however, tries to help keep up the sham. He appeals to the great capitalist newspaper owners, for in- stance, to fight for the rights of the workers as follows: “Without any proper authority, and without any order issued on printer or publisher, the whole of the London edition of this week's “Workers? Weekly (Communist) has been confiscated and carted off. “No one could have known what the paper contained, yet the police exercise their brute force, of course acting under orders, to suppress a@ newspaper. “What becomes of the freedom and liberty of the’press? And what is the Newspaper Proprietors’ Association going to do about it? | sug- gest to Lord Burnham and Lord Riddell that if they allow this precedent to pass without protest, they cannot complain if, when labor comes to power, the organized workers insist on the suppression of all papers advocating tory, or, as | would prefer to put it, seditious views,” Oi OR oe Growing numbers of revolutionary workers in Great Britain cease to worry about the future complaints of a capi- talist class'in distress. They cheerfully let George Lansbury do it, if his many bitter experiences in the labor movement have not taught him differently. Yet he sticks his toe into the céld waters of the revolutionary struggle in England trict witnessed a magnificant demon- stration of the Greek furriers on the sufficiently to come forward to furnish bail for the arrested Communists. Thus Lansbury at least gets near to the fight. FOLK SONGS ARE FEATURE OF S, P, PHILLY MEETING Small Audience Greets Singing M. P.’s By LENA ROSENBERG, (Worker Correspondent.) PHILADELPHIA, Noy. 2.— Three hundred very well-dressed people parked among row after row of gmpty seats was the outstanding feature of the recent meeting here under social- ist party auspices, at which the Hon- orable Morgan Jones and Rhys Davies of the British labor party, spoke, Morris ‘ Hillquit was advertised by the Forward but did. not “appear. George H. »Goebel.and B. Charney Viadeck spoke officially for the S, P. The Honorable Rhys Davies was lavish in his praise of the Americans and their hospitality, but informed the audience that the American labor movement is 25 years, behind their fellow workers of Great Britain and that it would be preposterous for any English labor man to propose the en- dorsement of a;candidate of the li- beral or conservative parties. He was careful to state that the British labor party is not a revolu- tionary party, that it aims to con- vince the majority of the people by peaceful methods and does not enter- tain any intention of overthrowing the present capitalist government by force, “His Majesty's Party.” “When we began our work we first were just a ‘labor group,’ then we became ‘his majesty’s opposition,’ but when we came into power we were considered ‘his majesty’s party?” The audience seemed pleased by this proof of the non-revolutionary nature of the British labor party un- der its present leadership. The meeting was so lifeless and lacking in enthusiasm that Goebel had to introduce what was evidently in- tended to be a gladsome note.

Before closing the sessions the mat- ter of formulating a Balkan pact similar to that which the great pow- ers had formulated at Locarno was discussed, Sir Horace Rumbold, Brit- ish ambassador to Spain, was placed at the head of a commission to in- vestigate the Greco-Bulgar con- troversy and report his findings to the December or March sessions of the league of nations commission. The league has also discussed the possibility of declaring an interna- tional zone between the two nations. This procedure ig objectéd to by the Bulgarian reactionary government as well as the military dictatorship’ of Pangalos in Greece, as it means a loss of territory to both, lish himself as a great Greek patriot. He also planned to become absolute dictator of Greece and to make his position more secure he was going to re-establish the monarchy. His ambi- tions have more or less hit the dust. It is intimated in financial circles that if the league of nations makes a demand on the Greek treasury for loses suffered by the Bulgarians, pres- sure will be brought to bear on Pangalos for his resignation of the premiership of the country for the hasty invasion of Bulgaria.
