Denies Charges of hig Wall Street Fund to Beat Insurgents KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 31.—The charges of Clyde A. Walb, republican state chairman of Indiana, that an $8,000,000 fund was pledged by “Wall Street internationalists” to defeat the senate little band of “irreconcilables” were denied here today by the Rev Joseph Myers, Jr., former Indiana sec- retary of the League of Nations Non- Partisan Association while testifying at Senator James A. Reed’s one-mazi slush fund inquiry. The Rev. Myers: characterized Walb’s charges as “poppycock” and “nonsense.” The charges were the product of a “fevered imagination,” Myers testified, as the association spent only $14,000 in the last year over the entire couritry, and did most of its work among schoo! children. The activities of Mrs. Vivian Tracey Wheat craft, one of Senator James HE. Watson’s campaign managers in the Indiana primary, organizing a “poison squad” were also presented. F. J Prince and W. A. S. Douglas, testified Mrs. Wheatcraft, had told them of maintaining a “poison squad” ef women in Indiana on a slogan of “vic- tory gossip.” We will send sample coples of The DAILY WORKER to your friends— send Us name and address, 000 to Cc. J. Sulman, New Haven ........ INDIANA— CARPET WORKERS NOT GUILTY BUT MUST GIVE BOND Philadelphia Judge no Respecter of Facts By J. O. BENTALL, (Special to The Daily Worker) PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 31—‘Who threw that brick?” This is the impor- tant question that agitates the court in Kensington, . Four strikers were charged with the crime. They are’ Russell Gillespie, James McGinnis, Jr., Pat Cannon and Charles Edelman, They had been ar- rested, bfought to the hoosegow and haled before the judge, ‘Not Identified, Then at the crucial moment the seabs who ducked the missile that came like a toss from Ignatz Mouse toward the head of Krazy Kat failed to identify. the prisoners as, the ones from whose hand the brick had sailed. Otherwise evetything went well for the boss and the scabs of the Phila- delphia carpet mill, which has had one o? the huskiest strikes in the in- dustry for over five weeks and which is still going strong, Not Guilty—But Bonded. Besides the eight hands from which said brick was thought to have issued there are over four million other hands in the burg called Philadelphia, Un- less the witnesses know that the eight hands belonging to the four arrested strikers did the tossing it would be rather embarrassing to pick on them. So said the attorney for the strikers.

O. P. Democrat as “‘Comrade”’ Nitec PHILADELPHIA, Oct? 81.—The so- olalists of Philadelphia and the state of Pennsylvania take no chances when they nominate candidates for office. They mean to have them elected even | before the vote is cast and they have | discovered an.ingenuous way to do it. | ) A Fas In the second pe ly district the | republicans and demograts have de- cided to throw off the mask and admit that there is no difference between | them. So they agreéd upop a fusion | candidate in the yot Charles C. | A, Baldi, Jr,, whose Auer 4s a leading | fascist largely contgolling his young | son in matters of political opinions and action. Now the soctalists are not to be sneezed at when it comes to ambition | to make a noise about the number of | members tn legislature or city coun- cil. Numbers count with them, The Trinity, So they must be able to boast at least three. members of the general assembly this coming season, Can they make good? We say they can. How do they do it? Easy. They simply wave their wand and nominate C, C, A, Baldi, Jr., and the trick is doné. That's one.-/ How the Trick Is Done. In the 18th district the republicans are in the saddle and the democrats | have not a peep in, so they have} separate candidates. The republicans | nominate Samuel J. Perry and the so-| claliats slide in with them. for the | samo man. That is easy. Now the republicans must have one more and so they nominate Harry.Greeby. The | socialists mominate Harry Greeby. And these are sure of election, So the republicans elect these two and the fascist Baldi, Jr, and the | socialists go out into the wide and) innocent world and tell the workers that they have three members in the | general assembly who fight the battles | of the working class. This method of getting socialist members elected is considered up-to- | date and nifty, whatever else it may be. EFFORT TO.

Names in By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL, 1H labor movements of three countries—the Soviet Union, Great Britain and Mexico—are exert: ing a growing influence on the American trade unions, Thiy was clearly seen at the Detroit conven- tion of the American Federation of Labor, Altho there was not a real left winger at Detroft, nevertheless, left wing issues, such as world trade union unity, recognition of the Union of Soviet Republics and the sending of delegates to the Union ot Soviet Republics and to Mexico, to study the local conditions in these two countries, becamé live issues be- fore the gathering. During the months ahead, the la bor unions intwo, if not three addi- tional countries, will exert an in- creasing influence on American or ganized labor. Australia and China, with probably Japan, are pushing in- to the ring of militant labor that now hems in conservative and com- placent American labor, Bast and | West. Australian labor threw down the gauntlet to the American reaction, at its recent Third All-Australian Trade Union Congress, held at Sid- ney, in August, when it voted un- animously for @ Pan-Pacific Labor Conference to be held at Canton, China, in May, next year, This action was taken with the declaration that, “For the workers of the Pacific and of the world, it is of the utmost importance that unity should be realized, but by perseverance we will win and unity will be achieved, and a basis will be laid for a new advance by the pro- letariat of the Pacific for victory over the exploiters.” +o 6 The move for the Pan-Pacific Con- ference was started by the Aus- tralian trade unions, It was to have been held last July at Sidney. The first effort at sabotage came from the Australian Labor Party, that immediately called a rival confer- ence to be held at Honolulu, Even the Australian Party proposals, breathing the spirit of MacDonald Jabor imperialisni, was rebuffed by | the American Federation of Labor. The A, F. of L. executive council did not mention this question at the Detroit convention. , © Real vitality in developing the Pan-Pacifie Conference seems to be , lodged, however, in the All-Aus- trallan Trade Union’ Congress that was not content’ with merely cor- responding with the labor move- ments of other countries, but also sent its representatives to visit and consult with the workers’ organiza- tions in other lands. The declara- tion of the Third AlJ-Australian Trade Union Congress on this eub- ject takes into consideration: “The increased competition and struggle for markets and raw mate- fials in the borderlands of the Pacific—the last resort of declining world capitalism. “The growth of military and naval Attorneys stated that about sixty) competitions, which will inevitably banks remain to be checked.

To take an active part in the struggle toayards international trade union unity, and to assist in calling a single world congress of all trade union organizations, “2, To attend the Pan-Pacific Trade Union Conferenge to be called in Canton on the first of May, 1927. “8. To issue an appeal to all workers of the Pacific pointing out that necessity of unification of their forces against international capital- ism and its war preparations. “4, To send greetings to’ the awakened Chinese working class and its trade unions. “To accept the invitation of the All-Russtan Council of Trade Unions, to send as 600n ag possible official trade union delegation to the Union of Soviet Republics.” 2 ¢ Thus the Australian labor move- ment comes into open clash with the present regime in the A. F. of L., that rejects world tPade union unity which must of necessity include labor in the Soviet Union, that joins in the promotion of nests of militarism in the shape of so-called Citizens’ Mili- tary Training Camps and helps drive “the first rivet” in Wall Street’s bat- tleships, that adopts a passive at- titude. toward China's struggle against the world’s imperialists, ind refuses to send an American delega- tion to the Soviet Union. Since the United States is the greatest imperialist country border- ing the Pacific, the Pan-Pacific Trade Union Conference at Canton, China, the seat of the Chinese revolution- ‘ary government, will further expose the pro-imperialist and pro-Wall Street policies of the Green-Woll- Duncan regime in the A. F. of L. The sycophantic phrases of the A. F, of L. toward the Chinese masses will no longer hold water as Ameri- can gunboats slaughter Chinese workers, its complete side-stepping of the issues ‘raised by the demands of the Filipino workers and peas- ants for independence will be un- masked, while from the Far East, from the mouths of the English- speaking workers of Australia, will come a new message to the workers of the United States telling of the tremendous advances made by the workers and peasants of the Soviet Union, a message that will make a speech by Dr, Sherwood Eddy look tame and inconsequential. | ete. Ad America’s workers must be rep- resented at the Canton Conference on May 1, 1927, with the consent of the A. F, of L, officialdom if pos- sible, if not, then without it.

SQUEALER TELLS STORY OF BIG LIQUOR GRAFT Five Patriots Shared in the Boodle What purported to be the inside story of how Major Perey Owen, for- mer pro! administrator of the Chicago district, was drawn into a gi- gantic conspiracy whereby thousands of gallons of sacramental wine were distributed for beverage purposes was told from the witness stand in fed- eral court today at the trial of Owen and state Senator Lowell B. Mason on charges of conspiracy to violate the prohibition Jaw. The witness was Harry R. Schlau, 2 former bathhouse owner who became one of the leading figures in the so- called wine graft. The proposition that Owen be bribed to issue fraudu- lent permits, he eaid, came from Louis Abelson, who with Schiau and four other defendants are to be gov- ernment witnesses. How Graft Was Divided. “Abelson,” Schlau said, “wanted to charge $1,000 for each permit but finally agreed on $300. Half of that was to be divided between Owen and myself, the other half to go to Abel- son and the two prohibition agents who were to be named upon his rec- ommendation. They were appointed by Owens after he had thot over the proposition and decided to come in with us.” After that, the witnesses swore, sacramental wine dealers who wanted permits, with the right to sell wine to any and all, saw Abelson first and after paying him were given permits by Owen.
