Keegan told him that he could come back only as “Motorman Lavin” and as a member of Local 7 of the com- pany union, amd refused to receive him as representing amybody else. The company asserted, moreover, that they were interested in getting back only the motormen and switchmen, and the guards, conductors, power men and agents were not wanted. When Lavin reported to the strik- ers outside the office, they yelled: “Back to the strike headquarters “All right, boys,” said Lavin. “We're out till hell freezes over.’ And the men marched back. Mayor Walker Tricks Men. Previous to this renewal of the strike, the strikers denounced Mayor Walker for calling off an appointment for a conference. The mayor did this without even notifying the men, who learned of it from @ reporter, “The reason given us for the cancellation,” said Lavin, “was that the I. R. T. would not attend, hence Mayor Walker considered it would be a waste of time. Some of us ‘think the wires were pulled.” James Walsh, strike leader, assert- ed: “We have met inypartial mediators who were stockholders of the com- pany. The general press reports have been misleading; they distorted our side and openly lied about us. I am the man who asked Mayor Walker to discuss this affair and I didn’t ask for any conference with Interborough offcials. Whether Mayor Walker has intelligence or not I don’t know. But the mayor told the press that we wanted him as mediator, We didn’t want him as mediator at all.” Ask Labor Union Support. After the refusal to take the men back, the strike committee issued a statement attacking the company president, Frank Hedley, for double- crossing them. The statement as- serted the men were counting on the support of organized labor and de- manded that officials of the state and city governments do their duty in pro- tecting the public against unsafe oper- ation by criminal and inexperienced scabs. ~ Joseph Phelan, strike leader, sald that the men were facing an endur- ance test for which they were not prepared. They had not been beaten by the Interborough, he declared, but by their own men who had gone to work a few at a time, “All you men are going back to be crucified,” he declared at the meeting prior to the futile march back to work.” Pickets Get Recruits, But after the answer of Keegan, a now spirit arose, the strikers putting on pickets, They declared that new recruits had come in and the strike would go on—“until hell fre Japanese Unrest Grows As Riots Break Anew TOKIO, July 25.~-The general un- rest in Japan manifested in the serious riots Sunday at Nagano, again was demonstrated yesterday when 400 villagers of South Iyomura, on the island of Shikoku, stormed the village assembly over a minor school ques- tion.

LOUIS ENGDAHL. ——-— HE capitalist rulers confess to their own fear of the wonderful powers and great abilities of our dead comrade, Felix E, Dzerzhinsky, when they hail his passing as “a blow to the Bolshevist Party only second to the death of Lenin.” It may be said that Dzerzhinsky sent a double wave of fear slashing its way thru the bourgeois world; first as head of the “Veh Cheh Kah,” the All-Russian Extraordinary Com- mission for Combatting Counter- Revolution that safeguarded the proletarian dictatorship; and later as president of the Supreme Eco- nomic Council, directing the devel- opment of industry and the realiza- tion of socialism as a stage toward the Communist Society. oe ae the world into the blood bath of 1914, with its millions dead that the present system of exploitation and profit might live on. Over the world since the war the casualty toll of the soldiers of Com- munism, fighting for the new day in every land, has mounted into the hundreds of thousands. They have died with “Long Live the Social Revolution!” upon their lips, aspir- ing toward “The International” of mankind. Let the martyrdom of our dead rest heavily upon the con- science of the fettering past. Sweep- ing away the debris of an outlived social order does not trouble the conscience of the future. Dzerzhinsky gave all to the revo- lution and, as head of the “Cheka,” tolerated nothing that endangered the success of the revolution. Thus Dzerzhinsky leaves a rich legacy for the soldiers of all the Bolshevik revolutions that are to follow in other lands, that they be just as loyal to and self-sacrificing for the cause. It is significant that in the hour of Dzerzhinsky’s death the Ameri- can Appeal, the official organ of the American socialist party, again speaks of the “harsh and tyranni- cal” developments of the Russian revolution. Thus it employs the lan- guage of the bourgeoisie with whom it has co-operated in many lands to betray the workers’ revolution. In the valiant labors of the Russian “Cheka,” Dzerzhinsky and the com- rades co-operating with him set a glorious example for the defenders of the revolutions that are to come, tor the “Chekas” of the future. en Time will give Dzerzhinsky his proper and high place among all those who served the Russian vic- tory that tore down the outer ram- parts of the capitalist fortress and gave the workers and peasants of the world a vantage point from which to press forward to the cap- ture of the whole structure. It is not for the chpitalist scribes to do honor to Dzerzhinsky by saying he was second to Lenin. They merely write thus in an effort to give the oppressors of mankind, whom they serve, some comfort in the belief that one of their greatest enemies has passed, to trouble them no more, So they greeted the death of Lenin, They told themselves that with Lenin dead the Russian Communist Party would crumble into dust, the proletarian dictatorship rapidly dis- solve and the Soviet Union be de- stroyed. Thus they reassured. them- selves, : But Leninism lived, as the capital- ists have learned, the Russian Com- munist Party has grown, the prole- tarian dictatorship become as adam- ant and the Soviet Union more pow- erful than ever. Dzerzhinsky lived nearly four years longer than Lenin to witness the successful development of the Bolshevik Revolution to which they had both contributed their every energy and ability. ** Dzerzhinsky was just as uncom- Promising towards the faithless among the revolution‘s ranks. As head of the Supreme Economic Council he fought every delinquency, It was said that a short time ago, his life being despaired of, he was ordered on a long vacation. Instead of resting, however, he went on an inspection tour of the Soviet coal and metallurgic enter- prises in the Don Basin, He fought the evils, wherever he found them, resulting in high costs of production, . He unmasked red tape, bureaucratic methods, struck at intolerable over- head expenses, attacked the over. staffing of factories, sought out grafting wherever he suspected it and meted out the extreme punish- ment to all found guilty. He develop- ed to a high degree a new spirit of work and self-devotion in the recon- One of the Moscow correspond- ents writes of the last tribute paid by the Russian workers to their dead comrade as follows: “Dzerzhinsky lies on a red-draped catafalque, surrounded with flowers and a motionless guard of honor, in the former Nobles’ Club, now the | struction of Soviet industry, Thus House of the Labor Unions, he helped assure its rapid success. “His face is utterly serene, strong, aa resolute—this man who, his enemies say, has 100,000 deaths upon his conscience, “Towards the narrow street, where the Nobles’ Club is situated, marching columns of interminable length converge from every section of Moscow, “A quarter of a million of his fel- low citizens will pay a last tribute to Felix Dzer, and then a red-draped, open coffin will be carried to the Red Square and interred below the Kremlin Wall near Lenin’s Mauso- leum.” Revolutionists the world over do honor to Dzerzhinsky. Nikolai Buk- harin, editor of Pravda, the official organ of the Russian Communist Party, calls him “the most perfect knight of revolution, a chevalier without fear and without reproach.” Because Dzerzhinsky lived there will spring from the ranks of the revolution many such knights and many such chevaliers to carry on his work. Thus if the bourgeoisie only knew how to judge the revolu- tion it would fear Dzerzhinsky even more now that he is dead than it ever feared him while he was alive. Dzerzhinsky is dead! Long Live Dzerzhinsky! Long Live the Social Revolution! eee “One hundred thousand deaths upon his conscience,” says this writer, and then adds: “Not even his bitterest enemies ever ques- tioned the sincerity of his motives, not even his closest friends ever detected a spark of self-interest or ambition.” Dzerzhinsky had but one thing upon his conscience, and’ that was his loyalty to the revolution. Against the enemies of the revolution he in- voked the short, sharp decrees of proletarian justice. Thus he trium- phantly advanced the Bolshevik out- posts of the new civilization, bring- ing life and happiness to the genera- tions of workers of today and yet unborn, thru insuring the success of the revolution, even by taking the lives or the putting into prison of those who would resurrect the dead czarist regime, .

S. Government ROME, July 25. — Mussolini has again made open declaration of the difficulty with which fascist Italy is restraining itself from making its im- perialist gestures realities of interna- tional conflict, “We are thirsting for the riches and the prosperity so long denied us,” sums up a recent pro- nouncement he made to newspaper correspondents. Resembles U. S. Government. Mussolini stressed the similarity be- tween America and Italy, “The Amer- ican government resembles the fascist state more than any liberal democratic government of Europe. Popular so- vereignty is tempered by strong gov- ernmental aithority.

In the double-meaning way in which Mussolini usually makes his pub- lic utterances he once again, In a pacifying and threatening manner at once, he had the following to say about Italy’s expansion. “Our colonial aspirations do not constitute a menace for anyone, Italy asks only what is indispensible to her and what is just that she shall have. “It is certain that she will obtain fulfillment of thege desires by a policy of peace and friendly agreements, since no nation would want to assume the grave responsibility of obstructing the achievement of such legitimate and, in reality, such unexcessive aspira- tions.” Delegates to Boston "y Socialist Party Meet Bewail Apathy in Ranks BOSTON, Mass., July 25.— Dele- gates to the state convention of the socialist party here complained of the apathy prevailing tn the party and of the inactivity of the organization.

This motion was followed by a speech by John MacLaren on the necessity of labor presenting a united front in the coming election campaign.
