QUEEN MARIE SHAKES DOWN HENRY FORD Hill Quits When He Is Treated “Coldly” (Special to The Daily Worker) SEATTLE, Nov. 7.— Desperate at- tempts to prevent the public from realizing the hokum that Queen Marie is trying to put over on her “trip of love” thru democratic America have resulted in bodily ejections from her majesty’s special train and a series of tying “official” statements that would make Ananias ashamed. J. A. Ayres, reported to be a rep- resentative of Henry Ford, was kick- ed off the train here on orders of the gentle queen, when Ayres talked too much. The Ford representative made public the announcement that Henry Ford was paying the expenses of Queen Marie in the United States, and that Ford had already put out more than a half a million dollars. When, the-papers carried thé news of ho’ tade Ford” prey of her gold-digging, the Queen’ was seized by such a rage that she or- dered Ayres off the ‘train at once. He was ejected by Col, John H. Carroll, official host to the queen. Gets a Headache. The ‘royal. party spent all day yes- terday ‘denying the reports of Ford's generosity.

Samue} Hill, millionaire, who is al- So reported to be paying heavily for the queen’s entertainment, withdrew in a huff from the party when his at- tentions were received coldly. Hill believed, that since he was paying some of the queen’s bills, he ought to be considered as one of the family. He publicly declared himself to be the queen’s “host.” The queen, how- ever, who is accustomed to younger companions in her Roumanian court, ‘spurned his attentions, it is reported, desiring rather the company of some of the young “war correspondents” of the capitalistic newspapers, including Stanley Washburn. Hill was informed that the queen “couldn't see him at all,” and that he didn’t mean a thing’to her “graci- ousmajesty.” The millionaire then left the party, presumably to seek less royal game.

CHICAGO LABOR PAYS TRIBUTE TO HAYMARKET Condemns Knee-Bend- ing to Queen Marie The Chicago Federation of Labor, at its meeting on last Sunday, unant- mously protested against the official reception of Queen Marie and declared that Chicago labor would take no part in the homage to any reigning sovere- Queen Marie does, a country in which the workers and peasant are under ground the iron heel of a dictatorship of the capitalists and where 2,500 pol- itical prisoners are held in jail. This was the gist of a resolution that passed with no opposition. The federation also decided to set aside Nov. 11 as the date upon which to commemorate the Chicago martyrs who were hanged following the Hay- market bomb explosion. Delegate Wright arose to make a 100 per cent speech, saying that Nov. 11 is Armistice Day and that it would not be right to “the boys who fought in France” th celebrate the Haymar- ket anniversary on that day. Delegate Koop and other speakers attacked Wright for his speech and declared that the Haymarket tradition is of far more importance to labor than Armis- tice Day. The resolution to set aside Noy. 11 was carried by an overwhelming ma- jority with only Wright voting against.

FOR ADVERTISING STH ANNIVERSARY Chicago police Saturday arrested two workers for distributing posters advertising the celebration of the ninth anniversary of the Russian rev- olution held here Sunday at Ash- land Auditorium. Using Massachusetts and New Jer- sey police tactics, the local coppers relied on an ordinance that is never enforced, against placing posters on poles, and took the two workers to jail, placing charges of violating city ordinances against them. The workers were N. Stevens and D. Plasin. They were arrested in the factory district near Twenty-sec- ond and Blue Island. On the same poles that they were placing the post- ers, were countless others advertis- ing political candidates and bour- seois social affairs, Fifty doHars bail was imposed on the two, The International Labor De- fense came to their aid, and furnish- ed the bail, getting the release of the workers, | ARREST WORKERS | SOVIET WORKERS SEND ANOTHER LARGE CONTRIBUTION TO MINERS; FORMING ANGLO-RUSSIAN BLOC By JOHN PEPPER. (Special Cable to The DAILY WORKER.) MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Nov. 7—The Central Council of the trade unions of the Soviet Union has just transferred another contribution of $250,000! to the striking British miners. This is a return from the one percent voluntary levy Imposed on them- selves by the millions of workers that are organized in the Russian trade unions. M. Schwartz, chairman of the Central Committee of the Soviet miners and M. Akuloff, chairman of the All-Ukrainian Miners’ Committee left for Berlin to conduct negotiations with a delegation of British miners with a view to organizing an Anglo-Russian miners’ bloc. The meeting between the British and Soviet miners will take place on November 10. The Soviet miners were compelied to break off negotiations with the Miners’ International in view of the latters’ scabbing on the striking miners of Great Britain. The Russian workers have contributed over four million dollars to their brothers in Britain, while the American Federation of Labor has only raised a little over $50,000 to date.

Every Party Member Must Work to Keep The DAILY WORKER A Statement of the Present Situation. By C. E. RUTHENBERG, General Secretary, Workers (Communist) Party. escaped since, going on in Paris, It is claimed that Garibaldi, arrest- ed last Thursday by French police tn Nice, has confessed to being an agent of the fascisti. Specifically, it is said he was the paid agent of Signor Fe- derzoni, Italian minister of interior recently resigned and head of the na tionalist wing of the fascist party. Fake Piot. More specifically, Garibaidi is claim ed to have confessed to the engineer- ing of a bomb plot upon Mussolint’s life in which Mussolini conveniently Garibaldi is quoted as saying, the fascist police knew all along of the activities of the so-called conspirators. The incident referred to is the bomb attack against Mussolini in Piazza Porta Pia in Rome on Sept 1. Garibaldi, the French press reports, was confronted with Sig. Scivoli, well- jknown anti-fascist leader. who, upon | seeing Garibaldi, was forcibly restrain- led from att acking him and openly ac- j}eused the colonel of complicity with Scivoli had been working | with Garibaldi in the anti-fasctst | cause, Implicated In Spain. Garibaldi is also charged with a share in the ill-fated’ Catalontan ex- pedition of Col. Francisco Macia, also under-arrest. His interest in the Cata- jan independence movement is actu |ated, it is charged, by Italy’s desire to |stir up discord between France and |Spain, the Catalan plot having been |engineered from French soll, There is a tendency in some quar- {ters to believe that Garibaldi himself is the victim of a French maneuver to make him a cat’s paw in propaganda against Italy, that Garibaidi is a genuine anti-fadbisti and that he has been roped in by international in- trigue. But it would appear from the press that official France is genuinely wrought up over the revelations and is preparing to dispatch a strong note to Rome demanding assurances and apol- ogies. eee FRENCH STORY DENIED The DAILY WORKER yesterday carried a story from its New York correspondent in which Peppino Gari- baldi, brother of Ricciotti Garibaldi is quoted as saying that the alleged con- fession of his brother is a fraud and {a part of a conspiracy between the fa- scisti and the French police to frame: (Continued on page 2) a LL AL A et The members of our party are entitied to a frank statement in regard to the situation of The DAILY WORKER and the possibility of KEEPING THE DAILY WORKER AS A VOICE OF THE COMMUNISTS, interpreting the events of the class struggle and giving leadership in the work of moving the work- ers of this country forward to a ‘revolutionary class struggle against capitalism. The task of publishing a daily working ¢' newspaper le a big one. The resources producing’ a regular income which such a paper has to draw upon are limited, particularly in the fleld of advertising which makes up a large part of the income of the daily newspapers. In spite of these handicaps and cif- ficulties WE HAVE KEPT THE DAILY WORKER ALIVE FOR NEARLY THREE YEARS. We have achieved this thru raising a sustaining fund each year thru which the deficit of The DAILY WORKER has been met to a large extent. 4 The present situation of The DAILY WORKER is, that the accumulated deficit of the year 1926 has to be met. The deficit for the year 1925 amounted to $60,000. This was covered in part by the profits of our printing plant which amounted to $25,000 j for the year, leaving $35,000 to be raised thru the sustaining fund campaign. The situation this year is*the same. We have a similar deficit to m covered in part by the profits of the printing” plant. To meet the balance “of the accumulated deficit the cam- paign for the KEEP THE DAILY WORKER FUND WAS IN- ITIATED. The $50,000 Keep The DAILY WORKER Fund will cover the deficit and leave something over to strengthen our paper and for work in building its support thru subscriptions which will reduce the deficit for the next year. | We haye raised approximately $15,000 of the $50,000 Keep The DAILY WORKER Fund. This has improved the financial situation of The DAILY WORKER. We are in a better situation than at the beginning of September. BUT UNLESS WE GO FORWARD WITH THE CAMPAIGN WITH GREATER ENERGY AND RAISE THE BALANCE OF THE $50,000 FUND WE WILL LOSE THE GAINS WE HAVE MADE DURING THE LAST SIX WEEKS. \ The financial situation of The DAILY WORKER is still critical, dusthat this moment we are facing the worst crisis. What has done shows that we can overcome this crisis IF WE MOBILIZE EVERY MEMBER OF THE PARTY IN SUP- PORT OF THE KEEP THE DAILY WORKER CAMPAIGN. We state confidently to the party membership that if we mobilize our whole strength we can Keep The DAILY WORKER. The next $10,000 raised will overcome the crisis and the com- pletion of the $50,000 fund will put The DAILY WORKER In @ sound condition to meet the coming year. WE RAISED $90,000 TO ESTABLISH THE DAILY WORK- ER IN THE YEAR 1924. WE CAN RAISE $50,000 TO KEEP THE DAILY WORKER IN THE YEAR 1926. But immediate, energetic and enthusiastic work is necessary to meet the situation. The task of the party members has been They have been ed to BUY A $5.00 BOOK OF THE DAILY WORKER CERTIFICATES, OR, WF THEY CANNOT PAY FOR IT IMMEDIATELY TO TAKE A BOOK AND SELL THE 25c, 50c and $1.00 COUPONS AMONG THEIR FRIENDS, SHOPMATES, ETC, UNTIL THEY RAISE THEIR $5.00. EVERY PARTY MEMBER CAN RAISE $5.00 FOR THE DAILY WORKER FUND IN THREE MONTHS. SUCH A MOBILIZATION AND WORK BY THE PARTY MEMBERS WILL COMPLETE THE $60,000 FUND. About 3,000 party membere have thus far responded. it is now the duty of the other 7,000 to come to the aid of The DAILY WORKER. THEY MUST ACT QUICKLY TO KEEP THE DALY WORKER. * The month of November must add at least $15,000 to the Keep The DAILY WORKER FUND. in the next few days The DAILY WORKER must have $5,000. WE MAKE THIS STATEMENT TO URGE EVERY MEM- BER OF THE PARTY TO THROW HIMSELF INTO THE WORK OF DOING HI8 PART TO KEEP THE DAILY WORK- ER IMMEDIATELY. THE MONEY MUST BE RUSHED TO THE DAILY WORKER AS FAST AS COLLECTED. EVERY PARTY MEMBER MUST WORK TO KEEP THE DAILY WORKER. IF WE CAN ACHIEVE SUCH AN IMMEDIATE MOBIL- IZATION OF THE PARTY, THE MEMGERS OF THE PARTY MAY GO FORWARD WITH THEIR WORK CONFIDENT THAT WE WILL KEEP THE DAILY WORKER, THE POWERFUL VOICE OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WORKERS OF THE UNITED STATES.
