TRIAL OF SPIES AT LENINGRAD REVEALS CRIMES Esthonian Agents Tell of Plots (International Press Correspondence) LENINGRAD, U. S, 8. R.,, (By Mail) —The trial of the Bsthonian spies, held here the early part of this year, was @ most sensational event. A whole gang of these mensheviks, whose plight has so much excited the sympathy of the social-democratic leaders and alleged liberals, such as Roger Baldwin of the American Civil Liberties Union, have testified one aft- er the other to the fact that they were hired to spy on the Workers’ Republic and betray its military formations to the “militarists of the capitalist na- tions. They are not backward in their confessions, Spying is their particu- lar profession. Most. are ex-czarist officers or gen- darmes who have served in the Rus- sian White Guard or Hsthonian armies, Lieutenant Snarsky, the ring- leader, took up the profession of spy- ing after being thrown out of the Es- thonian army for drunkenness. He had established a network of agents. One of these was the spy Gekonen, who told Snarsky later that he was also an agent of the British Intelli- gence Department, which desired to “utilize the services” of the Estho- nian spying organization, and also spoke of a number of explosions be- ing prepared on Soviet territory. Before being caught these people managed to send “home” important Soviet military secrets. Snarsky smuggled cocaine in his spare time. The Georgian Spies. A no less illuminating spy case is that of Kapiotn Andjaparidze, former member of hte Georgian Menshevik government. He was recently caught on the frontier in the company of a well-known Polish spy. The captur® of Andjaparidze resulted from the un- earthing of a whole network of. Georgian Menshevik organizations. in the Ukraine. These’ organizations, with Kiev as their center, were links in a Maison service between the Geor- gian emigres in Paris and the Men- shevik plotters in Tiflis, via Warsaw- Kiev-Astrakhan. The whole band have been caught. Andjaparidze was sent to Georgia by Noi Jordania, Tseretelli, and Gheghetchkori (the “Foreign Bureau” of the Menshevik Party). His task was to reform the illegal Central Com- mittee, and, in general, hatch plots against the Workers’ and Peasants’ government of Georgia. He came to Russia via Warsaw, whence the fa- mous “Second Bureau” of the Polish General Staff helped him across the frontier. It has long been an established fact that there is close contact between the Menshevik “Foreign Bureau” and the Polish Intelligence Department. ‘The Georgian General Zakariadze is their representative in Warsaw. Im- nadze, former secretary of Jordania, and organizer of the rising in Georgia last year, entered the service of the Polish Secret Police at Lvoff, after he escaped from Russia. | Polish Militarists Help. _ The Menshevik prisoners on trial not only confirm thése connections, but also assert that the Georgian Mensheviks in Paris have a definite agreement with the Polish Intelli- gence Department. The Poles ac- company all Menshevik agents across the frontier and in return the Geor- gians agree to give the Polish Gen- eral Staff copies of everything they bring .out of Russia, before letting any other governmnet have them. ° Thus, in their efforts to make Georgia ‘safe for democracy,” these members of the Second International formed a united front with the Polish military clique. Controlled By British, The Esthonian General Staff hired these spies. Esthonia has long been under the domination of the British, who have made considerable loans to the country and have liaison officers in the Bsthonian army itself.

S. R., Feb. 14—(By Mail)—The 23rd conference of the Leningrad district of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was closed today. After hearing a speech of Bukharin upon the results of the Fourteenth Party Congress, the conference adopted a resolution unanimously accepting the decisions of the Fourteenth Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union without reservations. rect and condemned the attempts of the opposition inside the Leningrad organization which attempted to bring the Leningrad organization in opposi- tion to the rest of the party, Capitalist World Totters. The party conference adopted the following resolution of greeting to the enlarged plenum of the executive com- mittee of the Communist International unanimously: “The capitalist world is once again faced with approaching quakes. In- creased exploitation, political reaction and fascist dictatorship inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of the work- ing masses to grow. The waves of the working class movement and the struggle of the colonial peoples for their freedom are smashing with ever} greater power at the fortresses of bourgeois dominance. The base and the supports of imperialism both in the advanced countries and in the backward and suppressed mations like ‘China, are being undermined. The same process is proceeding in India and Egypt where the revolutionary forces are mobilizing. Nevertheless, great difficulties and hindrances are still to be overcome before all the oppressed can be led together into the struggle against imperialism. All this demands a still greater firmness on the part of the working class and a further development of the policy of the proletarian united front under the leadership of the Communist In- ternational. Bolshevism our Weapon “The best weapon of the oppressed in their struggle for freedom is the bolshevism of the Communist Party and its work/upon the basis of Marx- ism and Leninism. The Leningrad proletariat greets the successes which the brother parties have gained in the bolshevization of their parties, “Whilst taking part in the construc- tion of socialism in its own country, the Leningrad proletariat regards it- self as an instrument in the interna- tional struggle for socialism and is at the same time perfectly convinced that each new success of the workers in the construction jn this one coun- try, strengthens the work and the po- sition of the proletariat in all other countries. “The decisions of the fourteenth party congress with which this party conference is in complete agreement, guarantee a correct policy in the fu- ture work of the party and consolidate the proletarian dictatorship upon the basis of a firm alliance of the prole- tariat with the main masses of the “The difficult period thru which our organization h#s just passed has made our iron-like unity into steel. The Leningrad organization has always been a supporter of the party unity and a leading member of the staff of the central committee. True to its Bolshevik traditions it has now com- pletely overcome the attempt which was made to oppose it to the rest of the party. This is proved by thé united decision of this party confer- ence.

We have recently seen a repetition of this policy of the Forward in the Furriers’ situation. On the eve of the strike declaration, when the fur workers were mobilizing all their forces in preparation for the strike to force the employers to concede to their demands, the Forward joined hands with the bosses and came out with a cowardly attack against the leaders of the Union. , “And now when thousands of cloak- makers are preparing for @ life and death struggle against the employers’ to put our industry on a sound basis, the Forward has found its opportu- nity to give notice to the employers that in case of emergency it can be depended upon.

CONCERT BIGGEST AFFAIR OF THE SEASON The International Concert that is being arranged by the Chicago group of the Trade Union Educational League on Saturday evening, March 13, at the Aryan Grotto (Eighth Street Theater), Eight and Wabash, promises to be one of the biggest events ever staged by militant trades unibnists of Chicago. The arrangements committee has secured a number of excellent fea- tures for the program and a number of pleasant surprises will be sprung on those that attend the concert. Those who attended the Trade Union Educational League gathering a year or So ago, at which a “Night In Scotland” was staged by a group dressed in Scottish national costumes, will be able to see the same group present an entirely new program. Added to the Night In Scotland is a Night In Ireland that will be pre- sented by the National Irish Dancers. The Fretheit Singing Society and the Freiheit Mandolin Orchestra, known to all Chicagoans, will occupy @ prominent place in the program. The Lithuanian Liberty Chorus, which has about 50 voices, will sing a number of songs. . Fred Ellis, cartoonist for the DAILY WORKER, assisted by Robert Minor and Lydia Gibson, will stage a nov- elty that has never been seen in Chi- cago entertainments, Sam Lein, well-known Russian ac- cordionist and pianist, and Margaret Lewis, pianist, have also been se- cured. Tickets are on sale at 50 cents, 83 cents and $1.10, including war tax. All seats reserved. Tickets can be se- cured at the following places: T. U.

Unemployment ‘incre: BERLIN, March 7.—The number of people seeking work thru the public employment agencies in the Province of East Prussia has been constantly on the rise during the last quarter of 1925. The total number increased from 6,200 persons on October 1, 1925, to 42,000 at the beginning of the year. take this opportunity to again expose their treacherous attacks on our Union by answering the specific charges made in the editorial. Nail Socialist Lie. “FIRST CHARGE: The settlement with the Contractors’ Association in the dress industry, It is a well-known fact that in our controversy with the Association we did not put forth any new demands. We have an agree- ment with the contractors which is to expire ten months hence. The Con-[’ tractors’ Association, together with the leaders of the Forward Associa- tion, are not pleased with the present administration of the Joint Board and from the first day of our dealings with them as an administration they have attempted to sabotage our work. This sabotage went so far that when we launched the campaign to unionize jobbers, the Association demanded 24 hours’ notice before declaring a job- ber on strike. When the Union em- phatically refused such information, the manager of the Association stopped the machinery for adjusting complaints, The Union thereupon sent its business agents to attend the com- plaints of our members without the assistance of Association clerks. When the contractors realized that their methods would lead them to de- struction they proposed a conferénce, which proposition wag accepted by the Union, However, at the advice of ‘certain’ friends they suddenly withdrew thier proposal for a confer- ence unless the striking shops would be returned to work prior to stich con- ference. This demand was flatly re- fused by the Union, The Association then appied to the courte for an in- junction. The Forward now makes the statement that the Union leaders sent emissaries to Judge Proskauer to take a hand in this controversy. This charge is absolutely untrue and ‘on the face of it, The Union had not put forth any new demande LT — OLD PARTYITES OF NO, DAKOTA BREW POLITICS Republican Chiefs Trade Nomination Support (Special to The Dally Worker) By JOHN GABRIEL SOLTIS. WILLISTON, N. D., March Rousseau once wrote that the masses of people are always duped by the appearance of things; that the reali- ties have a knack of escaping their attention. It would seem that the capitalist politicians of North Dakota are fa- miliar with that,tnuth, since what they cooked up last, week at Devils Lake in the republican pre-primary conven- tion indicates that, they rely entirely upon the appearances of things politi- cal to keep the farmers of this state behind the program of the Minneapo- lis chamber of commerce. Theirs was a master stroke of political foolery. Nominate An Unknown, They nominated for governor a cer- tain Mr. Hanley of Mandan. Nobody knows a thing about him. He is as obscure as the nan in the moon. His nomination is a wet blanket upon his own candidacy. ‘ The Independent Vot- ers’ Association does not want his election. Their‘ real candidate is the present governor; Mr. Sorlie. Their nomination of Hanna, who is a strong man from the purely political stand- point, for senator is a striking con- trast to the nomination of the weak Mr, Hanley. Deep politics are abrew- ing in North Dakota, It is manifest that Sorlie has traded off Nye for Hanna in consideration for the support of the Independent Vot- ers’ Association for the governorship. This deal makes Sorlie and Hanna the real candidates for the regular repub- lican organization. Raising the Bogey. In the meantime the prostitute press of the state is beating the tom-toms about everybody having fused to lick the “Socialistic program” in the state. This is calculated to solfdify support for Sorlie. However, every politically conscious farmer and worker in the state knows that Sorlie, as governor, by following a,passive policy toward the Bank of North Dakota, and by his downright sabotage of the Mill and Elevator Association was merely do- ing the bidding of the Minneapolis chamber of commerce. Auspicious for Farmer-Labor Party. The Farmer-Labor Party will enter into the battle ‘under the most auspi- cious cireumstafites. The great work of clarifying the farmers will proceed at a much quickened pace, as the re- sult of the lanna pact. Judicial Hireling Punishes Mine Union Leader for Strike EVANSVILLE, Ind., March 7—Tyler G. Lawton, president of the Indiana district of the United Mine Workers, was sentenced today to 60 days in jail and fined $200 by Superior Court Judge Edgar Durre, who held Lawton in contempt of ¢ourt. Judge Durre decided Lawton had committed contémmpt by having influ- énced miners at the Green Mound mine in Davies county to leave the shaft while it was being operated un- der a receiver appointed by the court. Counsel for Lawton will appeal. and therefore had nothing to arbi- trate. We appeared before Judge Proskauer only to answer to the in- junction proceedings. When the judge inquired whether we were ready to confer ‘with the Association, we re- plied in the affirmative, insisting on our original demand that the striking ‘shops remain out until the entire con- troversy is settled, which was the case later. ‘ Forward Plays Bosses’ Game. “THE SECOND CHARGE: ‘That the Union has submitted to the main demand of the contractors not: to call strikes without their knowledge’ is equally untrue, absurd and unjust. The provision on’ strikes has always been in the agre¢inent and the Union hag at no time disputed it, What the contractors demanded was that we give them a %-hour notice before declaring a strike against a jobber. This demand they were compelled to withdraw. “Now a word about the debts of the Joint Action, Committee. The Forward has disco d that the Joint Board has decided to pay the $95,000 debts incurred by the Joint Action Committee. This statement is untrue. ‘The Joint Board has at no time de cided to pay out the debts of the Joint Action Committee for the simple rea- son that there are no such debts. What the Joint Board did decide is the following: “Locals 2, 9 and 22 re- fused to pay their bills to the Joint Board for the months during which they were expelled.. A committee con- sisting of five (Ninfo, Portnoy, Du- binsky, Fish and Boruchowitz) was appointed to adjust this matter, Three of the members of this committee were of the old administration and two of the new administration, This committee unanimously recommended that the three locals in question should be credited) with the $95,000 spent during the three months and the entire expense of the Joint Board SESSIONS OF ENLARGED EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF COMINTERN OPENED (Continued from Page 1) tions, It was even the most difficult year in the history of the Comintern. In various countries, nevertheless, where the comrades have learnt to apply the tactics of the united front without too many mistakes, consider- able progress was made. The German Party overcame one of the most se- rious crises. Towards the end of the last session of the enlarged executive of the E. C. ©, 1. we pointed out the serious error of the Communist Party of Germany in connection with the election of Hindenberg. This mistake was committed under the influertce of the ultra-lefts and affected the whole Comintern. This error was, however, overcome and the German Party learnt to apply the tactics of the unt ted front. “The most important successes which were achieved in the year un- der consideration fall to the account of the English and the Chinese Par- ties, The comparatively young Bng- lish Party in one of the most impor- tant capitalist countries learnt to ex- ercise a definite influence upon the masses even tho it does not yet lead them. The young Chinese Party was also able to exercise a decisive in- fluence upon the events in the East, »vents which were of world historical importance, In the past year the Com- munist Party of China has tripled its membership, and the Kuomingtang Party with which our Party works together, has increased its influence sevenfold. These young parties show that the Comintern has found a foot- hold apart from the West. Overcome Crisis. “The Czechish Party has consoli- dated itself and completely overcome the crisis. It proved itself to be one of the staunchest sections of the Com- intern which sends it its warmest greetings. “In connection with the war in Morocco the French Party provided an example of how the Communists fight war, whilst the socialists proved themselves once again to be social patriots. “The decisions of the last congress of the Italian Party finally settled the danger from the ultraleft in the Party. The blows of fascism have wrought the Communist Party of Italy into a strong and united prole- tarian party. In almost all the de- cisive centers the Party has won over at least the relative majority of the proletariat. “The Bulgarian Party in particular has suffered severely under the white terror. Physically it has lost a whole generation of fighters. It is, however, beginning to overcome these serious losses and to rally the workers once again around the banner of Commun- ism. “The Polish Party has ovecrome a serious. crisis. It is at present in a responsible situation. The economic situation in Poland is hopeless and acts of desperation on the part of un- employed workers are becoming ever more frequent. The Party must prove itself big enough to deal with this revolutionary situation. Sympathy for Soviet Union, “In all countries a great wave of sympathy amongst the proletariat for Soviet Russian can be observed. “In the year under report the Peas- ant International achieved consider- able success, It has been successful in varioys countries in establishing a real connection with the peasant movement. “The great crises in the various Communist Parties which were over- of the Joint Board. This recommen- dation was made many months ago when the old administration was still in power. “The Forward has, furthermore, dis- covered that the Joint Action Com- mittee has spent a quarter of a mil- lion dollars. This ig a brazen lie, and is nothing but Forward fiction. The report of the Action Committee is ready and shows an expense of $112,- 000, and not $250,000, as stated by the Forward. A good part of this money was raised by voluntary con- tributions by the members supporting the three locals in their fight against expulsion, At this point it is inter- esting to refer back to the editorials printed in the Forward during the fight in which we were charged with receiving money from Russia in order to carry on the fight of the Joint Action Committee. Evidently the For- ward has now discovered another source, _ No Mention of Lawyer Fees. “The charge that the Joint Board had decided to pay the lawyer of the Joint Action Committee $10,000 is equally untrue. The minutes of the Joint Board are written by the old secretary, who participated against the Joint Action Committee, and these minutes were read before the mem- bership meetings and there is no men- tion of any bills to be paid to the lawyer of the Joint Action Committee. “On the question of ‘the volunteers of the Organization Committee,’ who receive from $30 to $50 a week, we wish to state that this discovery was made by our much beloved Feinberg a year ago and our members have had an opportunity to discuss this question and act upon it. “The Forward is very much en- raged because we have succeeded thru our Organization Committee in oliminating the undesirable eloment, $ : ‘ | the right, that it is abandoning the teachings of Lenin. These lies de- come during the course of the year under consideration were mostly crises of growth. A good example of this is provided by the Communist Party of Czecho-Slovakia, which, due to its good tactics, has become decisive party of the proletariat. On the other hand, Bubnik, who -hoped to destroy the Party, is now reposing on the rubbish heap, With the as- sistance of the Comintern, the Party succeeded in overcoming the dangers which threatened from the right. “At the present time there are sim- ilar phenomena ‘to be observed in the French Party, tho not so serious, as in the Communist Party of Czecho- Slovakia a year ago. It will in all probability be much easier to get rid of these right dangers in France than it was in Czecho-Slovakia. White Terror Victims. “The year has cost us great sacri- fices. In 38 countries 40,457 Com- rades were arrested, 30,286 wounded and 4,553 either murdered outright or tortured to death. In Bulgaria alone a thousand comrades were murdered. In England, for example, almost ‘all the members of the Central Commit- tee of the Party are in prison. The General Staff of the world revolution sends its warmest greetings to all comrades in prison, “The most important question fac- ing our session is the question of the correct application of the united front tactic. The trade union question, the question of the working class move- ment on the Continent and in the Bast will also play a great role. The last executive session spoke of a rel- ative, temporary, .provisional, weak and hesitating stabilization. The bourgeois and the social democracy snapped up the word ‘stabilization’ and abandoned the adjectives. They did not want to hear that we had coupled the word ‘stabilization’ with the word ‘bolshevization.’ The work of bolshevization has already played a great role amongst the sections, and in the future it will play a still greater one.” Zinoviey stressed the points in the draft of the present theses concern- ing the internal life of the Parties and the Comintern. “The sections strengthened themselves and they must build up and correctly apply an internal Party democracy. They must take a greater part in the whole work of the Comintern and show more po- litical initiative. The centralization of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and its historically founded in- fluence must remain until the revolu- tion has been victorious in one of the leading countries of the west. The sections must nevertheless solve their own Party questions more and more upon the basis of their own Party ex- periences with the assistance of the executive. “Recently a great wave of lies can be observed in the bourgeois and the social democratic press. They con- tend that the Comintern is bearing to serve the contempt of all Commun- ists. The Comintern still is and will always remain the advance guard and world organization of the class-con- scious proletariat upon the basis of Marxism and Leninism. The Com- munist proletariat has now worked for over two years without Lenin and the Comintern has remained and will remain true to the teachings of Lenin. The work of the present enlarged ex- ecutive of the Communist Interna- tional will prove that anew. Long live the Communist International!” (Stormy applause.) orward Denounced and that of the Joint Action Commit-) who had infested the Union and who tee shall be shared by all the locals|were the main support of the ‘For- ward Boys.’ We congratulate our- selves in having been successful in enlisting a sufficient number of mem- bers who have left their work in the shops and joined the Organization Committee in order to unionize the open shops. Yes, we are paying these workers from $30 to $40 (not $50) per week during the period that they are away from their shops. If the activi- ties of the Organization Committee constitute one of the horrifying dis- coveries made by the Forward, the Joint Board will take the full respon- sibility for it. “The last charge is that ‘the great- est number of complaints are settled in favor of the bosses.’ To this state- ment we need hardly reply, The re- ports on the activities of the Joint Board are read at the membership meetings and the members can judge for themselves as to the truthfulness of this charge. Bosses Fight Union. “The Forward has hoped that by the united efforts of the bosses and a number of the former union officials who have gone into the insurance business and who have made it their task to become the advisors of the bosses, they would be able to accom- plish their object of overthrowing the present administration which is 80 hated by them and again put in power their favorite boys. But now realizing that after months of hard work, the present administration has become popular with the members, especially when the union took a firm stand in the dress situation and has proven to the members as well as to the em- ployers that we are determined to carry our policy thru the Forward and its supporters have become panic stricken and hope thru lies and falsi- fications to destroy the confidence of the membership. But we are sure that those efforts will be of no avail. Page Three NEW DAM ON NILE OPENS HUGE AREA FOR COTTON GROP Lessens Dependence on U. S. Supply (Special to The Daily Worker) MAKWAR, Sudan—(By mail.)— The Sennar Dam has been officially opened and for several weeks las been in actual operation. This event will ultimately have a serious repur- cussion all over the world, for it has a vital bearing on the question of cotton supply. Ultimately it is bouné to effect the American southern states in particular. The dam, which is built to with- stand the highest floods of the upper Nile, is nearly two miles long and is 180 feet high from its lowest founda- tions to the top of the parapet. There are 80 sluice gates in the main dam and 14 in the canal head regulator, designed to serve 1,000,000 acres of land, The weight of masonry in the dam is about a million tons, The backwater from the dam forms a lake 50 miles long and estimated to. con- tain 140,000,000,000 gallns. The Gezira plain, which is thus tr- rigated, is situated south of Khartum, between the Blue and the White Nile. 3,000,000 adres of land in it is suit- able for cultivation. At present a tenth of these 300,000 acres, are to be irri- gated. One-third of this tract will each year be planted to cotton, one- third to food crops, and the other third will lie fallow. The irrigation works will consist of a main canal 70 miles long, other large canals aggre- gating some 800 miles, and small canals totaling about 2,800 miles in length. There will in addition be approximately 5590 miles in field channels to water the individual tracts. The expense of the construction of this huge undertaking is to be re- couped to the government gradually by a deduction of 5 per cent of the sale proceeds. 25 per cent of the sale proceeds will go to the Sudan planta- tions’ syndicate, which acting as an agent for the government, supplfes the seed, finances the cultivator, super- vises cultivation, and gins and mar- kets the cotton. The stock of this syndicate is held by British investors, including very prominent persons. Premier Baldwin of the present con- servative government of England is a heavy investor. The company has built gins for ginning the cotton right in the tracts. The native cultivator will receive 40 per cent of the gross proceeds of the sales, the government furnishing him with everything need- ed. The cotton grown is the celebrated long staple variety which obtains the highest price on the market. As the soil is virgin and has never hitherto been touched by the plow, and as the climate is perfectly adapted for cot- ton culture, British textile manufac- turers are looking forward to eventual- ly securing a very large portion of their whole supply from this area. This will lessen their historic depend- ence on the United States for raw material, and will act as a check to the prices' demanded by the latter. Passaic Strikers to Hold Relief Bazaar PASSAIC, N.
