Capitalism Claims Life of Comrade John Olson Killed While on Train (Special to The Daily Worker) OMAHA, Nebr., Sept, 2.—Word has just been received that the greed of the profit system has taken one of our most active comrades. Comrade John Olson was killed by a railroad train at Elmhurst, Ill, last Wednesday while beating his way to Chicago from Omaha. This comrade was one of the most exploited victims of the capital- ist system, the unskilled, itinerant worker who does the “dirty” work for he poorest pay. He had been working as a dish- washer in Omaha restaurants during the past year at from $6 to $8 a week, There is practically no organization among restaurant employes, altho our comrade tried to interest those work- ers into joining a union. Ground down by the exploiters, he was com- pelled to steal the ride he was unable to pay for, and thus the juggernaut that had oppressed him finally crushed his life out. Comrade Olson had been a member of the I, W. W. for years and had taken part in free speech fights on the coast. He joined the party about six months ago and soon after joined the Cooks’ and Waiters’ Union. He was devoted to the movement and never lost an opportunity to carry the mes- sage to the masses. He was born in Sweden, was 35 years of age and had no relatives in this country, Michigan Party to Hold Nominating Convention Oct. 2 DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 2. — With additional candidates still to be chosen by a state convention to meet here on October 2nd, the Workers Party an- nounces a vigorous campaign to be launched in support of a partial state ticket already in the running.

BE THERE AND ON TIME! A Reunion of Buffalo Radicals to celebrate “THE SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE AMERICAN COMMUNIST MOVEMENT” At the Picnic arranged by The Workers (Communist) Party Monday, Labor Day, September 6th. At Schafer’s Grove, E. Delavan and City Line Upon Mixed Crowds (Continued from page 1) thes on crowds gathering on the public highway and in the public park. The crowds, composed of men, wo- men and children, and many onlookers who were not strikers, were repeat- edly fired upon by state constabulary troopers without warning, and a wave of anger at their brutality is sweep- ing over the whole population. Mayor Adelard L. Souby of Woon- socket, whose nephew was among the bystanders wounded by the constabu- lary’s murderous firing, denounces the troopers for firing without warning, seconding a previous declaration of the strikers for firing on a crowd con- taining women and chidren that had a perfect right to be in Yelle square be- yond the bridge as well as to cross the bridge, which is part of public property on the public highway. State Federation Endorses Strike. In the meantime, the strike in the Manville mill and in the two mills of the same company at Woonsocket, was endorsed by the State Federation of Labor assembled in convention. Horace A. Riviere of the United Tex- tie Workers’ union addressed the dele- gatos and said that the strike might last two years and involve all the com- pany’s plants. Strikers claim that the scabs brot into the mill included three Pawtucket men who had been run out of Man- ville the week before. The so-called “charge on the mill” is said to have been merely the effort of the striking loom fixers to get their own tools, locked up in tool-boxes in the mill, which it was reported the scabs were breaking open and using. There are only 20 to 30 scabs in- side the mill, while to run the mill requires the force of approximately 1,000 mon and women, now solidly out on strike against the open shop drive of the company.

Many of the union men are very ap- prehensive in regard to some of the clauses of the new agreement. One of these provides that there be no discrimination in the shops between union and nonunion men now at work, the union, however, being given preference in filling the vacancies which may occur. Open Shop Clause. This fs an open shop provision, con- fend many of the unfon men. An- other provision postpones the signing ‘pf a final agreement, providing for a closed shop until January, 1927, the duilest part of the season. Still an- other provision sets forth that straight wages shall be paid for overtime work on Saturday afternoons. “Where is our 44-hour week?” ask some of the union men. This provision deprives some of the men of the time and a half pay they were getting for overtime. McKendric’s contention was that the union could not at present enforce a closed shop even if this demand was granted by the plant owners. He also contends that this agreement is a tem- porary one and that the permanent agreement to be worked out by an ar- bitration committee, consisting of three representatives of the u nion, three representatives of the plant owners and @n impartial. chairman chosen by them will be more satis- factory. T.ULE.L. STARTS AGITATION FOR MEXICAN LABOR Demands A.F . L. Help Oppose Clericalism Solidarity with the Méxfean labor movement in supporting: the Calles government againet reactionary pseudo-religious' Clerical rebellion, was the keynote of the Trade Union Edu- cational League’s Chicago general group meeting, held at’ Northwest Hall, Wednesday night. Manuel Gomez, secretary of the All- America Anti-Imperialist League, ad- dressed the meeting, pointing out how the executive council of the A. F. of L, has played false to ‘obligations specifically contracted, not only with the Mexican labor movement but with the Calles government as well. “President Green’s hypocritical pro- clamation of ‘neutrality’ toward the Mexican workers in struggle,” said the speaker, “is bound to have an im- portant effect on the future of the so- called Pan-American Federation of La- bor. The Pan-American Federation of Labor was a favorite child of Samuel Gompers. Now Green and Woll have taken it up as an instrument of their expressed ‘Monroe Doctrine of Labor.’ But the important labor unions of Latin-America have remained aloof for the most part. Mexico has been the only solid base of the Pan-American Federation of Labor in Latin-America. And the present situation is a pro- found lesson for the Mexican unions.” The meeting resolved to push the question of A. F. of L. support to the Mexican labor movement in all local unions. It was unanimously voted to send messages of support to the Mex- jean Regional Confederation of iuabor and President Calles in the present conflict, Workmen’s Circles in Omaha Aid Miners OMAHA, Nebr, Sept. 2.—Workmen’s Circle Branches of Omaha, together with the Ladies’ Independent Club, gave a joint entertainment for the benefit of the striking British miners.

J., Sept 2.—Senator William B, Borah of Idaho fully agrees with the program being followed by the Lauck committee in proceeding with the enrollment of the 16,000 tex- tile workers of Passaic and vicinity into a local of the United Textile Workers, the A, F. of L. union in the industry. The following telegram was received from the senator in reply to an inquiry by one of the local papers as to whether the Lauck plan repre- sents his attitude: Borah’s Telegram. “It Iam correctly informed, I fully agree with the Lauck committee. I want to see the employes do every- thing that reason and justice could require. “I cannot belleve that the mill own- ers’ will then refuse to recognize them or deal with them on a fair and just basis.” Garfield Councilmen Disagree. The question of whether citizens are allowed to walk near the mills in the strike area agitated the Garfield coun- ell when City Attorney John D. Vasi- lyk submitted a statement in which he sald that walking was permitted un- der the law. This statement was given, in answer to the demand made some months ago by Councilman Jack Moro for an opin- fon from the city attorney as to whether or not citizens are permitted to walk in the streets in the strike area, Councilman Moro declared that he himself had been forced from the streets by the police and.wanted to know whether or not this was legal. Plan Comic Opera to Usher in Grand Opera in Chicago The coming of the Century Theater Comic Opera company of New York to Chicago's Auditorium Theater for a limited engagement, beginning Sept. 1, 1s announced by Messrs. Shubert as the beginning of a regular system of comic opera revivals. The first two weeks, “The Mikado” and “H. M. S. Pinafore,” will doubtless be followed by the bringing down to the present public of other classic light operas in other seasons. The plans include not only the Gilbert and Sullivan masterpieces but also the compositions of other great com- posers of comic opera and its Con- tinental counterpart, opera comiques. The Century Theater Comic Opera company comes to Chicago for @ short engagement this Fall to determine whether this form of amusement is to precede Chicago's regular annual sea- 80n of serious opera in the Auditorium gach year in the future. Similar plans contemplate the inclusion of the Boston Opera House, the Chicago Auditorium and other large opera {houses in a circuit with the Century Theater in New York as the producing center. Milton Aborn, who staged the entire presentations of “The Mikado” and “Pinafore,” is delegated by the Messrs, Shubert to take charge of their elaborate comic opera program for the future. The cast for the former opera in- cludes what they term an ideal cast of Gilbert and Sullivan comedians and singers including Frank Noulan as Ko-Ko, William Danforth as the Mika- do, Charles E, Galagher as Pook-Bah, the new Japanese soprano, Hisa Kolke, as Yum-Yum, , De Mette as Katisha, William Clark as Nanki-Poo, Celia Branz as Pitti-Sing and Jean Beverly as Peep-Bo, with Max Hirsch- feld as musical director, Send The DAILY WORKER for one month to your shop-mate, Sept, 5, and most of Does Religious Dope Increase Youth Crime? The Sept. 1st issue of the Young Worker promises many interesting features for its readers. Off late there has been much talk in the press about prohibition and the lack of religious training being responsible for the in- creased crime wave among the youth of the land, Samuel Arnitz, the author of Haunch, Paunch and Jowl has writ ten a very interesting article, on the question of religious training and crimes among the youth, Most crimin- als investigated by Ornttz had reli gious training in their youth. This article is reviewed in the Young Worker, In this issue Jay Lovestone, author of the government strikebreaker, the LaFollette Illusion, etc., discusses the question of the youth issues in the 1926 elections, How to read a book, is an interesting article appearing in this issue by M. Krupskaya, the widow of Lenin. Harry Gannes starts a series of articles on the story of child labor: From Cradle to Factory. Besides that the other regular tp teresting features of the paper: A joke column, While the Boss Aint Lookin’, short stories, International Youth Newsettes, Round the World News, and news and stories of doings of the youth movement in America will be featured, The issue {s heavily illus- trated and all are urged to send their advance orders to: Young Worlser, 1113 W, Washington Blvd. Chicago. Beals Issues Order to Increase R. O. T. C. Maj. Frank tee Beata director of the Reserve Officers Training Corps of the Chicago high schools has issued a series of orders which aims to greatly }/ extend the “goose step” militarization, of Chicago's schools, The Chicago hig! schools have been authorized an crease of 1,100 in the R. O, T. C. rollment. This is an approximate 21% imcrease and brings the Hmit up/to 6,846. Not only that but the “war mongers” are now going to perfect the R. O. T. C. into a real military ma- chine within the school by reorgan- izing it as a brigade with a cadet colonel and cadet staff in charge. This again gives the le to the alibi of the jingoists that the military preparations within the schools are entirely “peace- tul” and of an athletic character, The healthy sign in the situation is the growing resentment of the students towards the continuance of their mil- itarization In Morgan’s behalf.
