owe Page Two FRAZIER BACK AS ALLY OF SENATE OLD GUARD RULE Dakota Senator with Wall Street’s Boys (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—The re publican party in the senate negotiated a treaty of political peace with the so-called “insurgent bloc” today by formally welcoming back Senator Lynn J. Frazier, of North Dakota, In- to the republican fold, as predicted In The DAILY WORKER. This action, directly reversing the ouster order adopted in March, 19265, against Frazier, the late Senator La- Follette, the late Senator Ladd and Smith W. Brookhart, will insure the republican party a united front when dhe time comes to organize the senate jin the seventieth congress, Leaders jagreed that hereafter the insurgents @hall be treated with tha same polit- feal consideration given more con- Bervative republicans, Gets Old Privileges. ‘The peace negotiations concluded by Senator James A.

The prosecuting ‘witnesses, the Maras Date Importing Co., of 214 -W. Kinzie Ave., failed to appear, and on motion of the defendant’s attorney, D, J. Bentall, the judge dismissed the case. The case grew Out of one of the most interesting and spontaneous strikes ever called in Chicago. The employes of the Maras Date Importing Co, are mostly colored girls and women, who come long distances to work from their homes on the south side. They have been pitifully exploited. They were employed at piece work rates. The pay for straight pitting Was originally three cents a pound. This was reduced to two and one-half, | and then again to two. For pitting and closing, the rate of three cents was cut to two and a half. Special pitting and stuffing was paid for at 1 rate of six and one-half cents, on the basis of 25 dates to the pound. Then the count became 28 to the pound, and rose to 30, NEW ECONOMIC PROGRAM FOR | CHINA STATED Shipsted, Farmer-Labor, of aienssot | Gee Chiang Presents was invited to enroll himself with the republican party iu the coming ses-| sion.

His recommendations will also in- clude a plea for a special burcau at Washington to administer Philippine, affairs.

Gen. Wood as administrator of the islands to be noted in Thompson's views. He spoke of the general's ill health and tactfully made it known that Wood's administration has not been attend- ed by the greatest success. It is known that Wood will return for a vacation to the United States in the near future. It is problematical that he will go back to the islands. Opposes Bacon Bill. Thompson is opposed to the Bacon bill which calls for the separation of Boroland from the Philippines. 1s his view that the Moros must be governed more directly by the United States and that the Filipinos’ con- stabulary must be withdrawn, but he will mot countenance talk of division, But the chief feature of the Thomp- son report, when {t is, made public, will be the recommendation against granting of independence to the Fili- pinos. .The fundamental reasons for this will be Thompson's discovery of great natural resources and invest- ment possibilities for U. S. capital in the islands, and the necessity of re- taining’ the islands as a naval base for far eastern operations both mili- lary and commercial. it Isn't a Blacklist, WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—it isn’t a blacklist, at least the state depart- ment refuses to admit that it is, but it does confi that 1¢ keeps posted about Russians who are deemed inad- missable to ‘entry under American laws.

One girl fairly ‘expert, made one week $9.00. The next week, she was lucky to get $11.51. About the most that the very skillful could earn was $14. ‘One girl, who had been on the job for three years, made one week the dazzling wage of $16.66. This was too much for the management.

Occasionally, a gleam of truth breaks thru, but it is quite accidental and can be explained by the cupidity of the individual publisher who will cash in on a news beat even tho its publication may injure the capitalist system as a whole. Two Sunday pa- pers are before me as I write. One is the New York Times; the other, The Herald-Examiner of Chicago. Both have articles on Russo-Turco re- lations. HE special correspondent of the Times cables from Constantinople that there was nothing in the discus- sion that took place in Odessa, be tween the foreign ministers of the Soviet Union and Turkey that need alarm the capitalist powers. It is true that all the Orient was humming with excitement over the prospect of a gi- gantic Oriental combination against western imperialism. But the Times correspondent took another suck out of the pipe and dispelled the illusion. He discovered that the Turk is a con- summate political actor and cannot be fooled, even by the wily diplomats of the Soviet Union. What has Russia to offer anyway, he asks. O much for that. We turn to the Herald-Examiner and read an in- terview with Mustapha Kemal Pasha, in which that individual talks in a manner galculated to give the imper- falist foreign ministers heart failure. Kemal calls Mussolini a silk-hatted bucanneer and charges Britain with Plotting against Turkey from the out- side, having failed to disrupt the re- public from within. The Turkish president said that his government finally decided to accept the Soviet Unton’s suggestions for an alliance to protect their joint interests and dwelt fondly on the prospects of a Pan-Oriental League of Nations in op- position to the imperialist league of nations which England dominates. HEN Kemal Pasha talks he Is talking for the Turkish govern- ment and his language indicates that he realizes that Turkey cannot have an opportunity to develop independ- ently while she is at the mercy of the western powers. Therefore Ke- mal hailed with joy the idea of an alliance between the oppressed peo- ples of the east, the alliance to be under the leadership of the powerful Soviet Union. In this alliance there would be Russia, Turkey, China, Af- ghanistan, mandated countries like Syria, and semi-independent Egypt. This must give Britain uneasy slum- ber. So, it does not appear that The- Times correspondent in -Constanti- nople was doing anything but lying when he peddled his stuff about the failure of the Odessa conference. Cnet THOMPSON, Calvin Coo- Mdge's special envoy in the Phil- ippines found many reasons why the natives should not be givon their lib- erty. They are too poor in the first place and speak diverse languages. Therefore out of consideration for the poor things, the benevolent imperial- ists of the United States must pro- tect them for a while even against the wishes of the Filipinos. But Gen- eral Chang Kai Shek of China, the Cantonese military genius who has led his revolutionary troops over two- thirds of China against the tools of the imperialists, declared that the United States has no right to be in the Philippines. This declaration should niako our militarists sit up and think.

LOUIS ENGDAHL. AGNUS JOHNSON, candidate of the Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party for governor in the recent elections, polled 266,845 votes as ‘compared to the 395,779 given to the successful republican, Governor Theodore Christianson, ‘candidate for re-election, and’ the paltry 38,- 008 given to the candidate of the dis- appearing democratic party. The vote held, fairly well for the other Farmer-Labot Party candidates on the state ticket. The quarter of a million votes cast for Magnus John- son was not a popularity vote, It was a party vote, the vote of the Farmer-Labor Party. ‘ This, gives added importance to the statement issued by Magnus Johnson following the election, and has a considerable bearing upon the vascillating stand of Hendrik Ship- sted, the Farmer-Labor senator with two years yet to serve. Magnus Johnson said in part: “The result of the election, while disappointing, is not disheartening. The causes which led to the forma- tion of the Farmer-Labor Party are still with us. “.. . The continuance of the Farmer-Labor Party can be justified only on the ground that it is fun- damentally different from the old parties. “We deny that we are a third par- ty. We are and have been from our inception the second party in Min- nesota. We are morally certain the great mass of voters will, when they understand our principles bet- ter, come into our fold. ~ “We appeal to all men and women who have common cause with us to remain firm in their devotion to the Farmer-Labor Party and its prin- ciples. “Personally, I have no. political ambitions. I shall be content to work with the rank and file to aid in completing the work we have be- gun.” 1) Bi: x It was the duty of Senator Ship- sted to have made a similar state- ment. But he didn’t. He is silent. It is charged that he will join Frazier and Nye, LaFollette and Blaine, Brookhart and Norris, in giv- ing support to the republican “old guard” group in the senate. It is declared further that he is planning to run for re-election in 1928 as a republican. "i Shipsted has denied none of thesé reports. His silence is an admis- sion as to their truth. It is also a source of great confusion and per- haps a little demoralization for the _ workers and farmers of Minnesota who raised him to the position he now occupies, The workers and farmers in Min- nesota, who are urged to “begin now to prepare for the next elec- tion,” cannot wait for Shipsted to chose his own exit. They witnessed his sabotage of the campaign be- fore the election. They behold him sulking now. They have a right to believe that he has decided to ac- cept favors from the White House rather than continue the struggle on the side of the plundered in Min- nesota and thruout the nation, | Plenum of Communist International Meets (Continued from page 1) revolution as part of the world revo- lution. The representative of the Commu- nist Party of China said that the vic- tory of the Chinese revolutionary movement over imperialism will af- fect also the struggles of the prole- tariat of all western countries. Indonesia Revolts. Samoen, delegate of the Communist Party of Indonesia declared that the recent insurrection of the Java work- ers meant civil way, sounds the death knell of Duth imperialism and is a signal for a more inclusive revolution to follow in the East Indies. William Gallacher greeted the plen- um on behalf of the British Commu- nist party and declared that the great miners” strike had paralyzed British imperialist activity in China and was a severe shock to Britain’s role as a leading power. Gallacher appealed to the world proletariat to follow the example of the workers of the Soviet Union in giving aid to the British miners. Soviet Is Workers’ Base. The plenum was greeted on behalf of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union by Buchurin who declared his party ready to render full service to the world revolution. Our workers’ stato is the base of operation of the Uberation moyements of the world. We were, are and always will be the most international party of the Com- intern,” said Bucharin.

The Farmer- Labor Party can slough off a few, or many as the case may be, of traitors, and céntinue on its way. But once Shipsted lands in the ditch of political obscurity, not even the republican party can~ pull him out again to do its dirty work. The quarter million workers and farmers who voted Farmer-Labor this November make up a veteran army that has come thru eight years of bitter fighting, as an independent political power, against the preda- tory interests—the railroad barons, the grain speculators, the bankefs and landlords, leagued enemies of labor. The lawyer, Quigley, and some of the discredited officials of the Non- partisan League, tried to lure work- ers and farmers into the democratic camp, even in the campaign just closed. The negligible vote—less than 40,000—received by the demo- cratic candidate is excellent testi- mony of the complete failure of these renegades. If Shipsted at- tempts the role of a “republican Quigley” he will succeed just as miserably. Lon ae Now that it has become certain that the LaFollette insurgents have sold themselves to the republican “old guard” for a few chairman- ships and attractive committee as- signments, the Wall Street regulars can be depended on to push for “un- derstandings’ ’and “concessions,” The Chicago Daily News has been among the first to speak out, de- manding that a mere understanding for the organization of the next con- gress is not sufficient. It asks; “Are the regulars seeking to as- certain the views of the insurgents on revenue legislation, tax reduc- tion, the merchant marine, Muscle Shoals, waterways, Philippine policy, Tatification of the treaty with Tur- key and other pending subjects upon which action is regarded by the administration as essential? . . . If peace is to be negotiated with the insurgents, the basis of the agree- ment should be something better than power and patronage . . . Eva- sion of fundamental differences may prevent discord for a time, but noth- ing would be gained in the end by such a course.” In other words, the LaFollette “dnsurgents” are not to be allowed to enjoy the comfort of their “at- tractive committee assignments.” Coolidge and Kellogg, Watson and Butler, will ever be at their el- bows, like some inescapable Mephis- topheles, demanding new exactions from these political Fausts, eee The workers and farmers must rally against the LaFollette in- surgents who have accepted the tu- torship of the political agents of the money power. The indications are that Shipsted will join this group of turncoats. Then there is only one thing for the workers and farmers to do, to turn him out of the party of Iabor.

OF NEW ATTACK Attack Amsterdam for British Treachery (Special to The Daily Worker) MOSCOW, U, §, S.

The English miners’ strike and the lack of Eng- lish coal on the world market, has temporarily, weakened this crisis, but with the reappearance of English coal on the market it will become atill more acute, » Attack Workers. In order to extricate themselves from this situation the capitalists are endeavoring to cheapen coal produc- tion. They‘are lowering the miners’ wages, lengthening their working day, introducing the rationalization of pro- duction and forcing the miners to work with greater intensity. The cap. italists are closing the pits and mines wholesale, and turning the workers on to the streets in tens and hun- dreds of persons, The attacks of mining industry cap- italism continually increase. This should evoke the increased resistance of the mine workers. The miners of almost all capitalist countries are on the eve of a period of intensified con- flicts and strikes. The mine workers of the whole world are confronted by the inevitability of an obstinate strug- Sle-for the inviolability of their in- terests, International Unity, Dealing with the question of united international action of the world’s mine workers, the declaration contin- ties: In these circumstances the unifica- tion and closing up of the tanks, for resistance to the insolence of mining industry capitalism, is a pressing ne- cessity for the miners of all countries. Raps Amsterdam. The so-called miners’ international will do nothing in this regard; on the contrary, it will disperse and scatter the miners’ ranks, - Instead of assisting its belligerent miners’ sections, it blacklegs individ- ual organizations joining its ranks, The disgtaceful behavior of this so- called international during the ‘British miners’ strike is the best proof of this. Therefore the plenum of the executive of the U.
