Fitkin, of New York, and F. H. Rollins and Sons.” “You sold all your interests?” A Wise Millionaire, “No, | still have an interest in the underlying securities,” Copley replied. “That part which don’t carry much of an Income tax.” “How much are your holdings?” “Ig that necessary?” Copley retort- ed, He then said it was a very large interest, but not controlling. He also explained he had originally held 77 per cent of the common stock in the “old company.” “Who passed upon this consolida- tion?” “The Illinots Commerce Commis- sion.” Smith Is Chairman, “Ig Frank L. Smith chairman of that commission?” “Yes.” Copley said the negotiations were completed before the Smith campaign got under way. “Have you had any previous politi- cal affiliation with Smith?” “I supported him for the senate six years ago.” Copley added he had given Smith a “subscription of from $2,000 to $3,000” in that campaign. “Were you an anti-world court en- thusist?” “No sir.” “Was any part of this money you contributed coming directly or indi- rectly from your corporations?” “Not directly, but most of my in- come came from these corporations or the sale of my property,” Copley re- plied. “It was my money when I gave it and no one has suggested reimburs- ing me, When I gave the last money I wag entirely separated from the company.” Played Both Sides. Reed carried Insull into a discus- sion of the lineup of the various re- publican groups in Chicago. Insull said that just before the senatorial campaign got under way, he thought the Crowe-Barrett group would be op- posed to Smith. “You were for Smith?’ “Certainly,” Insull said emphatic- ally. “And yet you gave money to the Crowe-Barrett organization?” Reed in- quired, smiling broadly. Insull smiled back just as widely and said nothing. Janitor of $600,000,000 As for his interest in politics, the magnate added: “J have to look after $600,600,000 in investments and I have a right to take an interest in politics.” “Does that mean you have some special right to give money in cam- paigns?” Reed asked. “Oh no,” Insull retorted promptly. “t have to look after the interests of 100,000 investors in the public utili- ties I head and it is my duty to pro- tect and safeguard them, Cafeteria Workers in an Organization Campaign to Better Conditions NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—(FP)—A cafeteria and lunch counter workers’ branch has been chartered by the Amalgamated Food Workers.

Walton cam- paigned as an opponent of the Ku Klux Klan. Henry 8, Jhonson, Ku Klux Klan supported candidate, had a lead of nearly 5,000 votes over his nearest opponent in the race for gubernator- ial honors on the democratic ticket. Senator J. C.

New York Girl Made Courageous Attempt to Battle Channel DOVER, England, Aug, 3.—Grim tragedy and possibly death came close to Clara Belle Barrett, New York swimming instructress, as she plunged thru the thick fogs and heavy seas of the English channel last night in a brave but futile effort to swim the channel, When Miss Barrett gave up her at- tempt at 5:20 this morning, after hay- ing been in the water for twenty-one hours and forty minutes, having cov- ered forty miles, she showed for the first time signs of the great strain— she wept in a womanly fashion, But during the swim, according to Captain Learmount, who acted as her pilot, she faced grave danger without the slightest indication of being un- nerved, even when she came close to being run down by @ channel steamer, ROMAN CHURCH RETREATING IN MEXICAN FIGHT ‘Bankers Throw Weight on Rome’s Side (Continued from page 1) the Knights of Columbus before the annual convention of that organiza- tion.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—Senor De La Huerta -offered his sword and his |“gym” slippers to the enemigs of the Mexican republic in a letter received here by one of Huerta’s agents. The last time the general took up the cud- gels against the Mexican workers and peasants he got more than his share of whatever punishment there was go ing. He found his legs more useful than his arms. De La Huerta’s sword will probably find its way into one of the Green- wich Village curio shops before it gets reddened with the blood of the Mexi- can people. +26 Labor Leaders Shy. (Federated Press) Called together to consider the Mexican labor government’s clash with the Roman Catholic church which is seeking to nullify long-stand- ing clauses of the Mexican constitu- tion, a group of Chicago labor men decided to keep hands off for the present. The conference, made up of various religious sects, determined to Postpone protest or other action until the American Federation of Labor meets in Detroit in October. Methodist Hits Out. Bishop George A. Miller, the resi- dent bishop of the Methodist Episco- pal church in Mexico City reports to the world service commission of his church that there is no religious per- secution taking place in Mexico today. Coming to Chicago from Mexico City for a brief visit on church business Miller dispelled the fog of lies that have enveloped the dispute between the labor government of Mexico and the Roman Catholic church. “That no religious persecution is in progress in Mexico,” the bishop de- clares, “is proved by the fact that this present Latin situation applies to protestants exactly the same as to catholics and is being impartially en- forced on all alike. Catholics Defying Law. “So far as I know the only differ- ence between protestants and catholics at this point is that the protestants are consistently obeying the law and going on with their religious work un- disturbed whereas the catholics are defying the constitution and raising a cry of religious persecution in or- der to gain sympathy for their non- existent wrongs.” Mexico under the Calles labor ad- ministration, Miller says, “is in the best condition of its entire history and the present government is heroically facing a difficult situation and mak- ing good progress. Meddle in Politics. “The catholic priests in Mexico have openly refused to comply with the law of the land and have persis- tently meddled in politics,” he adds. “They have now organized an eco- nomic boycott with the openly avow- ed purpose of bankrupting the coun- try and thus defeating the pzesent ad- ministration, There is no just reason whatever for the boycott. How long would the United States tolerate the presence and activities of such propa- ganda in this country? “This whole uproar is worked up by a hierarchy which is content with nothing less than the political domin- ance over the country.” General Motors Sell at Record High as N. Y. Exchange Stages Riot (Special to The Dally Worker) NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—A rush to buy General Motors stock precipitated a near-riot on the floor of the stock ex- change today as brokers struggled and tugged at each other in a wild scram- ble to execute their orders, The stock soared 10 points in the first half hour of trading and sold at the record high price of §211% a share in blocks of from 500 to 6,000 shares. An overnight gain of 4 to 5 points was only a modest introduction to the boil- ing market for the stock which devel- oped with the influx of buying orders from all sections of the country. Most of the facts relative to the current operations of the General Mo- tors Corporation have been published in official statements by the president of the corporation. Speculative fire was kindled, however, by a statement credited to Thomas Cochran of the Morgan banking house yesterday, in which he said the stock had a wide public following and would sell 100 points higher. Next week the direc: tors of the corporation will meet and are expected to cut a melon in the forma of a 50 per cent stock dividend.

See It is significant that the Riga pro- paganda, sent out from the Latvian white terrorist capital, finds wel- come admission to the columns of the socialist press in the United States, that fervently prays for greater trials, and difficulties for the Workers’ and Peasants’ Republic. It is well to publish a complete, typical Riga dispatch as it appeared recently in the Milwaukee Leader, edited by Victor L, Berger, socialist congressman, This dispatch includes in its small space practically all the lies and incriminations that are peddled every time the opportunity is afforded the enemy press, Here it is: Report Revolt In Russia. “Riga dispatches from reliable sources in Moscow state that a mil- itary revolt has broken out in the Rula district, 100 miles south of Moscow. “Six divisions of the newly formed foreign legion have been sent to sup- press the outbreak. “Reports of disturbing conditions in Russia continue to be circulated here, “The most recent report is that Trotsky, alarmed at a threatening breakup of the Soviet ranks follow- ing the dismissal of Zinoviev from the political bureau, planned to visit one of the regiments where his in- fluence is great to call upon them to march on Moscow and seize the Kremlin and the government offices. “The Soviet bureau is said to have frustrated the plan and to have con- templated the arrest of Trotsky. “Zinoviev is reported to be a prisoner in his own home.” es It may be said, without hesitation, that not a single one of these alleged incidents has any basis in fact. The same report, with a little change in wording, has been repeatedly broad- casted to the world during the last nine years. No one knows this bet- ter than the editor of the Milwaukee Leader, Victor Berger himself. Now that congress has adjourned it is taken for granted that he is back in Milwaukee directing the affairs of his paper, If so, he must be held directly responsible for the appear- ance in his paper of such malicious falsehoods, which does not harmon- ize very well with the fact that he has introduced a resolution in con- gress demanding the recognition of the Union of Soviet Republics.” Berger is credited with the dec- laration that since bankers and great industrialists are doing business with the Soviet Union, and urging that it should be recognized by the United States government, why should he not demand the same thing. Reasoning in the same way per- haps, Berger’s editorial understudies may feel that because the anti-Soviet capitalist press publishes these news fakes, therefore the anti-Soviet so- cialist press must travel in the same footsteps. If the case is otherwise, then the workers who read the Mil- waukee Leader are certainly entitled to an explanation and apology from the socialist congressman. ee The case of the New Leader, the socialist publication in New York City is not much different. It uses the Zinoviev incident in an effort to JUDGE.

LOUIS ENGDAHL. attack Communist activities in the American labor unions, After all their experiences during the last nine years since the Bolshevik revo- lution, including what they had learned before, the socialists do not yet know the difference between a political party and a labor union. But even if they did, the socialist argument wouldn't hold. Members of a political party build their organization on fundamental principles, on which they are all agreed, This is especially true of Communist Parties that permit of considerable inner democracy but nevertheless insist on the strictest discipline, Trade unions on the other hand are organized on the broadest pos- sible basis to include all workers of all political beliefs. This the Communists insist on. This the so- cialists object to, joining the most reactionary elements in the labor Movement in charging that the Communists with left wingers gen- erally, when they state their views, are “‘boring within” the labor move- ment, There can therefore be no analogy between the activities of Zinoviev in the All-Union Communist Party, and those of Communists within the trade unions, as the socialist “Lead- er” tries to argue and on this false basis incite new actions against the lett wing trade unionists in this country. The strength of a political party depends very decisively on all of its members holding the same polit- ical views, The strength of a labor union, on the other hand, depends decisively on the fact whether it comprises all or nearly all of the persons working at the trade or in- dustry, irrespective of their politi- cal views, While the political party which tolerates divergent political tendencies within its ranks is head- ing for destruction, the labor union, however, which does not tolerate all political views within its ranks paralyzes itself and defeats the pur- pose of its very existence. Zinoviev and those who think with him have had every opportunity to bring their views before the All- Union Communist Party. The social- ists on the other hand would com- pletely gag, if not expel if they could, not only the Communists, but all militant left wingers from the unions. They tried it in the Interna- tional -Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union ‘but failed. They have failed in other unions. see The Russian Bolshevik revolution has sometimes been described as “the greatest strike in history.” Zinoviev has been part of the leader- ship of that struggle. When he tried to go contrary to that leadership, by organizing a secret fraction to ad- vance his opposition policies, he had to be removed to maintain the unity of the struggle to advance the cause of the Russian and the world re- volution, During recent needle trades strug- gles in New York City, it was the socialists, altho part of the strike leadership, who seized every oppor- tunity to sabotage the struggle. Nevertheless, they were tolerated in the union, altho every effort was made to expose their criminal acti- vities before all the workers in the industry. All workers in the indus- try must be united in a single organ- ization to fight for their immediate economic needs. That is. the basis of the amalgamation struggle of the left wing led by the Communists. The socialists oppose this unity of the worke nk The socialists, if they view the situation rightly, will get little com- fort out of recent developments in the All-Union Communist Party. They will only behold a strengthen- ing of Communist forces, not only in the Soviet Union, but thruout the world. For the unity of the All- Union Communist Party and the Communist International is stronger than ever, which to cover up all clues.

The complaint, he added, was the com- Plaint of several individual members and was not binding on the entire membership. He warned that the court would create a precedent by is- suing an injunction on behalf of a number of persons not at all affected by the alleged injuries. Judge Crain asked Hillquit to submit his authori ties on this point calling it a fine point of law. Hillquit, despite argument by Wik liam Klein, counsel for the plaintiff, declared the union did not countem ance violence, and maintained that all vialence to date had been commit ted by hired gangsters of the em ployers, Hillquit charged Klein with seeking to prevent all picketing, to deprive the workers of the right of lawful as- sembly and the use of persuasion in an attempt to break the strike, Judge ‘Crain directed to submit reply briefs within a week, taking the case under advisement until that time. Six more contracts with manufac- turers were signed by the settlement committee of the union, bringing the total settlements to 43. Mass meetings are being held daily.

Jobbers Break Silence, For the first time since the strike in the cloak industry the jobbers have broken their silence and showed their hand. Ip a statement issued by one of their leaders to the trade press, they made an open bid for the support of the submanufacturers’ association in the fight\against the union, in return for which they promised th esubmanu- facturers the recognition of the prin- ciple “minimum cost. production.” In this sudden outburst of ¢raternal feeling of the jobbers toward the sub- manufacturers, can be read a plain indication that the jobbers are begin- ning to feel the pinch of the strike pretty badly, Now that they see that the strike cannot be regarded as @ vacation gift to them, they are at tempting to scare the manufacturers’ association into an alliance against the union by forecasting that in case the union’s program wins, their asso- ciation would go out of existence, They deplore the fact that the manu- facturers are “linked up with the union” and call on them to repudiate the policy of their leaders, Send a sub now and get the spe cial rate of five dollars for a year’s subscription and the pleasure of help Our Daily, eae sis ances aig A tah Henrietta |
