COMMUNISTS IN FIGHT AGAINST VON HINDENBURG Marx Defends Property of Royalty, (Special to The Daily Worker) BHRLIN, June 10.—The forthcoming plebiscite on the dispossession of the former German royal princes is “an unacceptable solution,” Chancellor Marx declared in the reichstag today. “The legal state of the inviolability of.private property must remain safe- guarded,” the chancellor said, and he promised that the government would continue its efforts for a legal solu- tion. The reichstag was thrown into tu- mult when a Communist member ac- eused President Hindenburg of a “breach of faith” by writing a private lettter opposing dispossession, which was later published. Len Small Appointee Puts Non-Union Men on Job at Lincoln Park By a Worker Correspondent, At the last meeting of the Chicago District Council of Building Laborers it was reported that Mr. Johnson Lincoln Park commissioner—an ap- pointee of the Len Small machine— was placing men on the pay roll as laborers to do work that had pre- viously been done by members of the International Hod Carriers, Building Laborers and Common Laborers’ I1- ternational Union, The men placed on this work by Chicago ward healers, when asked by the ‘business agent of the union to join the union, refused to do so, say- ing: “We don’t give a damn for you or your organization.” This is another one of the “re- wards” organized labor is receiving from their good friend Len Small, who was so highly recommended by most Chicago labor officials at the last elec- | tion.

THE DAILY WORK ER Page Three SOVIET LEADER SHOWS MEANING OF BIG STRIKE Events in England of Great Importance ROSTOV-ON-DON, May 13 (Rosta). —Today Comrade Bukharin arrived in Rostov and spoke at the plenum of the Gubernia Soviet on recent events in Great Britain. Many members of our party, said Comrade Bukharin, have pointed out the pogsibility of treachery on the part ofthe right. Their worst appre- hensions -have come true. The gen- eral strike came to an end thru the treachery, of the right leaders. The result of.the strike as it stands at present,is certainly not such as to de- clare the British labor mqyement dead and buried. The roots of the strike lie very;deep. They include: the for- mer priority of Great Britain on the international market and the excess profits “drawn from the colonies, erumbs of which the British capital- ists threw to the workers, As thd international position of Great Britain has been shaken and as piority rests now: with the United States of America, the position of British ‘capitalists has also been shaken, ‘Unemployment has become chronic and the bourgeoisie has been compelled to adopt the system of bringing pressure to bear on the work- ers. As a result of this the British jabor movement is veering to the left, which is evidenced by the more left attitude of some of the leaders, the frequency of strikes and the insist- ence of some labor groups on the for- mation of the Anglo-Russian commit- tee. British Fig Leaf Vanishes, ‘Yhe veering of the left process of the mass is more rapid than is the case with the leaders, who are obliged to crawl along behind them. In view of this ‘inequality in the ripening process_of the various parts of the working class which responded to the | bourgois offensive by the general | strike, the leaders capitulated at the | first threat on the part of the conserv- ative government. The events in Great Britain are a fact of ,world historical importance. The British labor movement is not yet beaten and will have its say. British events will strip the fig leaves from British jparliamentarism and reform- ism. The essons will not have been. in vain. » ; _. \f Britain Important. Comrade Bukharin dwelt on the im- portance attached by Comrade eLnin to the riiftish workers. In 1923, dur- ing the German events, Comrade Lenin, who had temporarily lost power of speech, gesticulated vehemently when they read to him about German events, and persistently pointed to China and Great Britain on the map. Later on, when Comrade Lenin had regained power of speech, he said that the British movement will perform a rapid and original leap and that pos- sibly power will go to the trade unions. In conclusion, Comrade Bukharin pointed out that henceforth the labor movement in Great Britain will pro- ceed zig-zag fashion and will event- ually lead to victory over the bour- geoisie. Passaic Strike Aid Growing in Chicago With Added Forces The campaign of Chicago Labor to aid the textile strikers of Passaic is to take added intensity in this district. Albert Weisbord, well-known strike leader, and Clarence Darrow, famous labor lawyer, are to bring the message of Passaic to Chicago workers at a mass meeting next Wednesday eve- ning, June 16, at the Ashland auditor- ium, The Wood Turners’ Union of Chi- cago at a special meeting, donated $25 for the Passaic defense of arrested strikers, in. addition to purchasing a block of tickets to the Darrow-Weis- bord meeting. This unjon of Wood Turners has taken a praiseworthy stand in support of similar, measures, The special meeting passed the following resolu- tions unanimously: “Resolved that this union offers moral and financial support to the Passaic strikers and defendants, and will stand ‘with them until they win.” “Resolved that the membership of this union.is convinced that Sacco and Vanzetti arg not guilty, and should be granted a,new trial and given their freedom.” ,{ The union backed this up by a do- nation to the International Labor De- fense. The Wood Turners had prev- fously elected two delegates to the Chicago conference to save Sacco and Vanzetti.

There were numerous red tape objections which the government hid behind, but Sowlet workers were plainly not wanted. However, the above bunch of Swiss bankers, bosses and parasites, also. want ing to visit the United States to study production, are admitted freely. Perhaps it Is because they stood behind the Swiss government in its whitewashing of the assassin of the Soviet Minister Vorovsky fn Switzerland. * | Martin Durkin Goes to Trial in Chicago The elusive gunman, Martin Durkin, who kept the depart- ment of justice and doze of police forces busy for weeks in an effort to catch him, is now on trial for murder.
