Brookhart developed today as the senate opened debate upon the battle between the insurgent leader and Daniel F. Steck, democrat, for Iowa’s junior senatorial toga. Supporters of Brookhart announced they would start the fight at 2 o’clock this afternoon by calling up the sen- ate elections committee’s minority re- port. Signed only by Senator Steph- ens, democrat of Mississippi, the min- ority report would give Brokhart the seat by a plurality of 1,131 votes, as opposed to the majority report, signed by ten members, recommending the seating of Steck by a plurality of 1,240 votes. Leaders on Each Side. The fight to seat Brookhart will be led by Senator Borah and Senator Stephens. The effort to seat Steck will be directed by Senator Ernst, re- publican of Kentucky, and Senator Caraway, democrat of Arkansas, who drafted the majority report. Report Too “Raw.” The drift toward Brookhart came after a study of the two reports. Some high administration senators an- nounced privately that they intended to vote for Brookhart “unless the com- mittee’s majority advanced better rea- sons in debate for the seating of Steck.” This move was strengthened when it was learned that Senator Borah will be assisted by Senators Walsh, democrat, of Montana, and Reed, democrat, of Missouri, Will Give Affair to Aid Sick Friend A group of friends is giving a con- cert and dance for the benefit of a sick member of the Russian colony to- morrow at 4 p. m, at Division Hall, 2441 W.

ARREST 18 N.Y, FUR STRIKERS ON FRAMED CHARGE No Warrants Used in Outrageous Raid BOSTON, April 2—- In Hssex Mar- ket Court this afternoon 18 striking workers were arraigned before Magis- trate MeIntryre on a charge of disord- erly conduct. Attorney Abraham Good- man, apeparing for the strikers esta- blished the fact ttiat Louis Freeman of 891 Southern Blvd. who charged that he had been assaulted by strikers in Beethoven Hall, had walked out of the hall on the day he declared this assault occurred, passed a policeman at the door and passed a police station at 5th street near the hall, and made no complaint about this circumstance. Urged by Bosses. It was not until the following day that he visited the office of the Asso- ciated Fur Manufacturers, Inc., 224 West 30th street, and was advised there to call upon members of the police industrial squad to make an arrest on his charge. Attorney Good- man then showed that Freeman had visited Beethoven Hall with detectives on Wednesday, the day following his alleged assault and had failed to find anyone he could charge with the of- fense. Attorney Goodman stated that it was on the following day,,the day of the arrest that Freeman returned to the office of the association where it was suggested to him that_he charge Mrs. Fannie Warshofsky, vhall_ chairman, with assault, and after members of the industrial squad [| been summoned to this office, an accompanied them to Beethoven Hall and the ary rest of the 18 strike~" followed.

When the late Samuel Gompers, as presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor, told him to withdraw his sup- port of the FarmemLabor movement and other progressive measures or lose his job and the subsidy granted the Chicago Federation of Labor, Fitzpatrick jumped onto the Gompers’ bandwagon and has clung tightly to the band-wagon of the reactionaries of the American Federation of Labor ever since, Support Crowe Candidate. In the primaries for United States senator, the Fitzpatrick-Nockels-Nel- Jon alliance in the Chicago Federation of Labor threw their support to Frank L, Smith of the open shop republican party. Smith at first had the sanction of the unionsmashing Robert B. Crowe-Charles V., Barrett faction. Later the Crowe-Barrett faction de- cided that Smith would lose them many of the McKinley votes so they decided not to endorse either William B, McKinley, the incumbent and sup- porter of the Coolidge administration or Frank L. Smith,,who has been con- sidered nothing more than @ tool of the traction interests serving as head of the Illinois Commerce Commission on the appointment of Gov. Small. Fitzpatrick in not taking a stand against the alliance of the Chicago Wage Earners’ League with the open shopper Crowe-Barrett faction in the republican party, passively, if not ac- tively, endorses this alliance.

Labor Must Ally with Soviet Rule By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL. 'AMMANY HALL, seat of democratic political strength, that is hoping to send “Al” Smith to the White House in 1928, comes out openly thru its senator, Royal S. Cope- land, in support of the Mussolini tyranny in Italy, Copeland has spoken fervidly in the senate in favor of the generous Smoot-Mellon war debt settlement granted Italian fascist rule. : Copeland has been hailed as one of the “progressive bloc.” He is one of Hearst's footholds in Tammany Hall. This is the Tammany Hall that claims the support of most of the labor officialdom of New York City and state. It is, therefore, interesting to analyze why this “pro- gressive,” this so-called “friend of labor,” this Hearst satel- lite, is so friendly to an Italian fascist government that has made open war upon its own working class, suppressed la- bor’s organizations, and proclaimed its figurehead, Mussolini, above all criticism. The answer is to be found in the grip that the interna- tional bankers, who are making new loans to fascist Italy on the strength of the debt settlement, have upon the demo- cratic party, and especially upon its hi sage Ay wing; the democratic party that nominated John “Wall Street” Davis, Morgan’s personal lawyer, as it presidential candidate in 1924. Copeland did the bidding of the world financiers when he voted for U. S. entry into the world court. ° * e * Scratch the “progressive,” Copeland, and you discover the political agent of Wall Street, just as the 100 per cent jingoism called “Hearstism” is but the outward manifestation of a virulent fascist disease that finds a rich breeding ground in the capitalist journalism of William Randolph Hearst. The fact that Copeland and Tammany Hall have labor connec- tions merely demonstrates that this same insidious fascist malady affects the organizations of the working class, dic- tating the policies, for instance, of the American Federation of Labor, thru converting it into an alley of the fascist em- bryo, the American Legion, developing it into an apostle of the world court and the league of nations, using it as an in- strument of American imperialism and as an agency for the spreading of hatred against workers’ rule in the Union of Soviet Republics. The political harlot, Copeland, in defense of his action, proclaims: ‘ “Whether Mussolini did or did not close the Masonic lodges, whether he is catholic or protestant, whether he has imperialistic notions or not, whether he is cruel or kind, whether he is a success or failure as an economist—these things have nothing to do with the question of adjusting our claims against this sovereign nation. In the nature of things Mussolini will disappear from the stage ere long, but the Italian people and the Italian nation will continue their career.” . e e e All that is, of course, the usual sophistry of the bought politician. Every cent that the United States cuts off Italy's war debt, every penny that Wall Street extends in loans to Italy, merely helps bulwark Mussolini’s fascist regime that has been erected and maintained in spite of the struggle of the Italian masses against it. The Italian people will not rid themselves of Mussolini without shaking off the clutches of Wall Street’s bankers as well. The overthrow of Mussolini, which can only be completely effected by the revolutionary working masses, means the repudiation of the debts owing to Washington and Wall Street. That is what is feared in these two seats of dollar rule. Some senators claimed to be startled when Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, Wall Street’s spokesman in the senate, stated: “1 say without hesitation that the loans which we have made to foreign countries and which the banks are making now to foreign coun- tries, cannot be paid.” oe @ @ : There is really nothing startling about this confession. International bankers are not anxious that loans be paid. If the loans were all paid, that would put the bankers out of business. What the bankers are interested in is that they have the power to collect the interest on the loans, at a hand- some profit, when they fall due. That means keeping the world enslaved to Wall Street, especially Europe, That means that Wall Street governments, fascist governments, must be established elsewhere than in Italy. ; European workers are slowly grasping this situations It is gradually dawning upon them that to be free they must follow that path to Soviet power so ably marked out for them by Russian labor. The American Federation of Labor has adopted anti-fascist resolutions while its highest officials held their fingers crossed. Only the workers can carry out the intent of these anti-fascist resolutions by waging war against the Wall Street government, the enemy of the Fealian workers, the foe of the workers of all Europe. American labor must become the open ally of Soviet ec and the avowed enemy of fascist tyranny in all its forms. ER has exposed many of his reaction- ary moves and this has hurt him in his attempt to pose as a progressive. The DAILY WORKER is drawing back the lamb’s cloak in which he has dressed himself, fold by fold expos- ing the wolf hiding beneatn it. His hatred of The DAILY WORKER has the same basis as that of the open shop interests for The DAILY WORKER. For a United Labor Ticket! The answer of the Chicago labor movement to the alliance of the labor union officialdom with the open shop candidates should be an increased de- mand for a united labor ticket in the coming fall elections, Brown Speaks in Buffalo.

Since that time legislation to separate the church and state and to keep the clergy out of politics has been enacted.
