Page Two INTENSIFY FIGHT. | FOR JOHN BROPHY IN DISTRICT ONE Isaacs and Brennen Rap Lewis Machine PITTSTON, Pa, Nov. 29. - “Brophy-for-President” committee of the Pittston United Mine Workers’ | Union held another large and spirited mass méeting in the Pittston district n St, Aloysius Hall. At least 400 minefs attended. Assails Lewis. George Isaacs, for many years vice- The presidént of District No. 1, spoke in| English and Lithuanian. He reviewed the gradual worsening of the working conditions of the anthracite miners | since the termination of the strike and predicted more drastic losses in the present wage scale, He urged the miners present to preserve their or- ganization, save it and build it to its former place of power and influence. This, Isaacs explained, could only be achieved by driving J. L. Lewis and} his official retinue from office and @ecting the “Save the Union” slate Readed by Brophy. ‘Wm. J. Brennan, ex-president of the district, spoke quite at length on the significance of the present boom in the ‘mining industry, carefully analyzed and interpreted the anthracite agree- ment-and said this agreement was the first defeat ever suffered by the amthracite mine workers. He particu- Yarly attacked Sections Nos. 2, 3 and 4 of the 1926 agreement and character- ized it as a sell-out by the officials. A, Argoni spoke in the Italian lan- euage. Toohey Speaks. Pat Toohey, recently reinstated into the organization by a decision of the international executive board, after being expeled for more than 16 months, spoke quite in detail relative to the significance of the many out- law strikes and the cut in wages suf- fered by the miners of the Hudson Coal company which may result in a general strike of the 22,000 miners of this company. Five Miners Struck. Yesterday five large collieries went on strike. He stated that in the course of a very few weeks scores of other local unions would declare strikes as this, apparently, is the only method in compelling the coal companies to reo- ognize the grievance committees of the miners. He called attention to the exceptionally serious situation prevail- ing in the soft coal territory, where the union is practically extinct, and predicted when the time for “adjust- ments” in the’ anthracite contract comes which is once yearly, the bosses would insist wpen a big cut in the wages and worsened working condi- tions of the miners, using as a basis for their argument the soft coal situa- tion. Several hundred copies of the “Coal Miner” were sold. Two hundred copies of the pamphlet recently written’ by John Brophy, entitled, “A Larger Pro- gram'For the Miners’ Union,” were sold also. Brophy to Speak Dee. 5. Tt was announced that John Brophy would speak in the Pittston Armory on Sunday evening, Dec. 5, at 7 p. m., his first appearance in the hard coal flelds. Alexander Campbell, ex-internation- al board member, acted as chairman of the meeting. Hirelings of Cappel- Mimi made three attempts to break up the meeting by starting a fight in! which chairs, tables, umbrellas, etc., Were freely used. The reactionaries found to their sorrow that the friends of Brophy could swing chairs just as | well as they. The meeting went thru | despite these attempts.

It came be- | cause complete disruption of the party was imminent as a result of Musso- lini’s denial of the right of members of the party to express their ideas freely, Coercion Falled, Mussolini tried to curb the demo- crats first by abolishing all discussion of policies and second by abolishing ; local elections. But party units chafed so much under the prohibitions that the premier was forced to retract to avoid a collapse of the black-shirt movement. The new action does not give the party members any more actual con- trol, however, all of it remaining with Mussolini.

This is written on Sunday, and it is reasonable to assume that half a dozen more scalps are now hanging in the wigwams of the Iowa bankers. We have often stated in this column that the most dangerous bank robbers in the country are the bank officials. None of those institutions were broken into by illegal robbers. Yet several combinations of bankers are always howling for armed vigilantes to stop bank robberies. It is well for them that their pleas remain unheeded— provided the vigilantes would shoot the chief culprits, * Lo geoged are a favored species. The state banking commission of Iowa conducted an investigation into the closings, and heavy shipments of reserve funds being rushed to the stricken banks, And in view of the financial epidemic this statement issued by the commission makes one like to know how many Iowa banks closed their doors during the past six years, Here is the gem: “Banking conditions in Iowa are better than they have been for six years and there is no occasion for any extended com- ment generally, for conditions are good.” Perhaps, for the bankers! ROME GOVERNOR BREAKS WITH MUSSOLINI OVER GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY ROME, Nov. 29.—Premier Musso- lini has “accepted” the resignation of Senator Filippo Cremonesi as governor of Rome and will probably appoint Prince Boncompagni to the office. The resignation of the governor follows a free-for-all rumpus In the capital, which is said to have grown out of a dispute as to the authority of the governor. Vice Governor D’Ardesia and 10 rectors are said to have joined in the battle, and all have presented their resignations which have been accepted.

Letters Confound Defense. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. — Two Phanton witnesses stepped out of the past to confound the defense in the conspiracy trial of Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the interior, and E. L, Doheney, millionaire ofl oper- ator, The first of these came in the form of a letter written by Fall on Dee. 20, 1923, in which he told @ senate in- vestigating committee he had bor- rowed the $100,000 with which he had acquired a new Mexico ranch from E. B, McLean, Washington and Cin- cinnat{ publisher, and had never sought money from Doheny or any othor ofl man, The second came in & bulky docu- ment containing a transcript of the testimony of Doheny on Jan. 24, and before the same committee in which he repudiated Fall's statement and ad- mitted it was he who made the loan— and made it without security and minus any interest charge.

Instead its col- fortunate country are straining at| The fact that extra-erritorial rights | umng are filled with-the worst pol- sonous propaganda against the work- ers’ republic, falsehoods that parade as the truth and are accepted as such by hundreds of thousands of readers, All the indications are that The Tribune has adopted the same policy against the Mexican republic, espe- cially since the war against the oil | and rubber profiteers and ghe land- lords has developed into a struggle with the catholic church, so 8 | Arturo M. Elias, consul general ! of Mexico at New York City, has | just exposed two of the most flag- | rant instances of the carrying out | of this Tribune policy. | In the November 6 issue of The | Tribune’s weekly magazine, “Liber- ty,” edited by Joseph Medill Patter- | son, there appears a picture with | this caption: “Catholics withdraw- ing deposits from the Bank of Mex- ico in protest against the seizure of church property.” The picture is | part of the anti-Mexican propaganda contained in a series of articles by Sidney Sutherland entitled, “The Machete Versus the Cross.” The na- ture of the rest of the material ap- pearing in these articles may be judged from the facts concerning this faked illustration. The picture does not show cath- olics withdrawing deposits from the Bank of Mexico. Instead it is a Picture “taken in front of the Bank of Mexico on its opening, Sept. 1, | 1925, ELEVEN MONTHS BEFORE THE ATTEMPTED BOYCOTT.” | Consul General Elias presents the | picture of the bank's ‘opening, more than a year ago, containing on its | back the official stamp of the bank and the date, “Sept. 1, 1925.” It is identical with the picture that ap- | pears in the Liberty Magazine, Mr. Elias points out: “The pictures are the same. In reality, in place of being a picture as claimed by ‘Liberty’ of persons taking funds OUT of the Bank of Mexico, it is a picture of persons waiting to put funds IN the new bank after it had been officially declared open by President Calles who with government officials was present within. “On Sept. 2, 1925, the morning of the day following the opening of the Bank of Mexico, “El Democrata,’ a paper then publishing in Mexico City, published the same picture of the inauguration of the new bank that ‘Liberty,’ the magagine owned by the Chicago Tribune, tricked a por- tion of the American public into believing was,a picture of some- thing entirely different.” es © It is pointed out that there was another faked picture in this series of articles. A United States engineer operating mines In Mexico, Mr. B. R. Torgler ofyCleveland, Ohio, had a letter in the New York Times of Nov. 14, charging that a picture which ‘Liberty’ claimed depicted the hanging of peons in Nayarit es a result of a religious riot was in reality a hanging of bandits two years before and that he had in his possession for over a year the iden- tical photograph that ‘Liberty’ had By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL. claimed was a picture of a recent happening. * This is merely a repetition of pic- tures faked in an effort to stir up Prejudice aganist the Bolshevik revolution and the Soviet Union. Thus, in 1921, the Chicago Tribune published a picture that purported to show ‘soldiers shooting down bread ne rioters in Leningrad. The fraud perpetrated by The Tribune was | clearly evident, since other Afneri- ; €an newspapers had published the | Same picture years before, pointing out that it actually depicted the | ezarist soldfery shooting down work- | ers before the Bolshevik revolution was triumphant. This is the kind of stuff the workers and farmers jam into their brains, when they so far forget themselves as to spend their money buying capitalist sheets Uke The Tribune, and its foul off- spring, the so-called Liberty Maga- zine. er © The Mexican consul general, Elias, exposing this condition, ap- peals to ‘every editor who cherishes the ethics of his profession to pro- test against such a deliberate at- tempt to deceive the public of North America as to happenings in Mexico. “As the consul general of Mexico, I take the only means open to me,” he says, “to reach the people of this country in an attempt to expose such sinister methods to. place Mexico in a false light before the great American people. And I know that the vast majority of editors will resent this outrageous violation of fair play as strongly as myself.” ee The Mexican consul general, how- ever, will learn thru bitter ex- periences, often repeated, that he is wrong about the editors of the American capitalist press. . Prac- tically all of them, almost daily, perpetrate similar fakes. That is | part of their business of injecting fraud and bias into the news, in support of the propertied interests and against the working class, Mexico seeks to retrieve its na- tural resources, to some extent, from the profiteers under the Calles regime. That is a crime in the eyes of Washington and London, The frightened imperialists cry that Mexico is going Soviet. Even the lackeys of great business, who have wormed their way to the top in the councils of the labor movement in this country, shout “Bolshevists!” against the workers of Mexico. Thus the drum fire of the whole capitalist attack draws in every ally of the exploiters, with the press 4nd the pulpit most active. eo One hundred per cent of the kept editors of the American capitalist press will fail to resent in the least the fake perpetrated by The Trib- une. The guilt of The Tribune mere ly consists in getting caug)t at it. That cannot be forgiven. It the bought press is caught in too many frauds then the readers may get suspicious, Consul General Elias can help the workers of the United States and the workers and peasants of Mexico by exposing the frauds of The Trib- une and also pointing out that this grows out of its subservience to the American dollar, and that this prac- tice is inherent in the‘ whole -cap- italist pres: That will help ex- ploited toil in both countries, a little, in more ably fighting the enemy capitalist class. KIRBY PAGE, WHEN QUESTIONED BY _ . HIS AUDIENCE, BRINGS OUT POINTS FAVORABLE TO SOVIET GOVERNMENT What started out to be the drawing of a deadly parallel between the two “dictatorships” of Italy and Russia, on the part of Kirby Page, editor of The World Tomorrow, before the Chi- cago Forum at Erlanger Theater, soft- ened off at the end and brought a round of hearty applause, when the speaker sald: “Balancing the evils of the Bolshevist government against the good, I feel that the good far outweighs the evil. I believe that the present government of the Soviets is far better than that of any of the czars and that the great majority of the Russian people would say’ so.” Then in the question period which followed, much that the speaker had omitted in his comparative analysis ‘| of the two countries was brought out. He admitted that the national mi- norities under the Soviets had more freedom than anywhere else on earth. He said that the new regime had done much to improve the position of wom- en. He said most decidedly that the United States should recognize the Soviet government, Page, in reply to other questions,, spoke of the new spirit that has Sprung up in the workers and poas- ants gince the revolution, ob the pro ress in education, and of the’Russian de xwniaqe worship of science, which exceeded that in any other part of the world. Very frankly, in reply to a question as to why the United States recog- nized Italy and not the Soviets, he said it hinged entirely on the relative attitudes toward private property. Asked if the Bolshevists had a standard of morality, he replied: “Most decidedly they have. It is to work for the common good. It does not, as in this country, concern so much the sex relations, It concerns itself more with honesty; corrupt officialg have been shot in Russia.” When at five o'clock the flood of questions was stopped by the chair- man, Fred Atkins Moore, who called time, the affair had evolved into quite /a pro-Soviet gathering, Russian 1, L.

Note: —The DAILY WORKER publishes the accompanying state- ment by H. G. Teigan, secretary of the Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party, sent out by the Federated Press. Teigan declares that Shipsted will not desert to the republicans. This is more than Shipsted has said for himself, in fact, he sabotaged the recent campaign in Minnesota be- fore the elections, and has been flirting with the republicans ever since. Participation by Shipsted | in the so-called “breakfasts” at the White House, on invitation of Coolidge, with only republicans present, indicate. that Shipsted is developing a strong republican ape- tite. The DAILY WORKER endors- es everything that Teigan has to say about maintaining and strength- ening the Farmer-Labor Party in Minnesota. His statement follows: es. 8 By H. G. TEIGAN, Secretary, State Central Committee, Farmer-Labor Party of Minnesota. A few years ago when the non-par- tisan league was attempting to cap- ture the machinery of the old parties, the politicians and the newspapers cried out: “Why do you -socialists try to steel the republican party? Why don’t you organize a party of your own and sail under your own colors?” In Minnesota the non-partisans and organized labor did that very thing, and contrary to the expectations of the enemy, the party of the non-parti- sans and organized labor proved quite successful, In spite of the apathy of the voi- ers, lack of campaign funds, the pre- tenses of economy and efficiency on the part of the present republican ‘state administration, the Farmer-La- |bor party candidate for governor of Minnesota polled more than 226,000 votes Nov. 2, This represents near- ly 40 per cent of the total vote cast. Party Stronger Than Ever. Moreover, the farmer-labor folks * elected two congressmen by large ma- jorities, more than twenty state sen- ators and approximately twice as many representatives. Judged by the vote for legislators the party is stronger than ever. Notwithstanding these facts, the cry of the politicians now is that the arty cannot weather another elec- tion. Arthur Sears Henning, the highly paid dopester of the Chicago Tribune Press service predicts Sen. Shipsted’s return to the republican party, “now that his party has been dissolved.” The wish is father to the thought. ‘The farmer-labor party will win in Minnesota in 1928. Shipsted will be returned to the United States senate as a farmer-laborite, not as a repub- lican. What is more, the law of Minnesota prevents any farmer-labor- ite now holding public office from filing for re-election as a member of another party. Shipsted could not le- gally file as a republican and it is equally certain he would not be dis- posed to do so. The progressives of Minnesota have achieved far more success thru the farmer-labor party than they ever achieved thru the old parties. In the short period of four years, the party has elected two United States sena- tors and three congressmen. That the progressives of Minnesota | cannot hope for success thru the re publican party can be shown by the results of 1922. In that year a strong candidate filed for the republican nomination in opposition to U. S. Sen. Frank B, Kellogg. The farmer-labor Slate Was nom in its primary without opposition. There was plen- | ty of opportunity offered the progres- sive voters.to participate in the re- publican primary, Notwithstanding this fact, Kellogg won the nomination by 98,000 plurality, 4 But at the general election of that year, Henrik Shipsted, farmer-labor, defeated Kellogg by more than 83,000 plurality, and Kvale and Wefald were elected to the ‘house as third-party men. we The farmer-labor party of Minne- Sota has not dissolved. It does not expect to accommodate the politi- cians or the interests by doing any- thing of the sort. Except for a few immature-minded folks in the party, there ts no dispo- sition on the part of the farmer-labor party people to resort to a form of po- litical opportunism that has been re- beatedly proven inopportune.
