The debate on this mater was long and intense. M. Vandervelde stated that the stability of the franc must be looked | upon as the supreme consideration. | A government either of the Right | or of the Left would endanger anew | the stability of the franc and must therefore be avoided. The only solu- tion, he said, was for the Socialists to maintain the coalition and stay in the government, provided the gov-| ernment could be prevailed upon to | accept a mild reformist program. | Vandervelde’s view was supported | mainly by the trade union leaders and by the Labor Minister. M. Wau- ters, who maintained that “the Labor interests could be better served dur- ing the coming crisis if the Social- ist ministers remained in the gov- ernment.” The left wing position was es- poused by the Deputies Mathieu, Brunfaut and Senator de Brouckere, who maintained that the Socialist Party, as well as the parliment, had capitulated before the bankers, who had become the real masters of the country. De Brouckere stated that Social- ism in Belgium and elsewhere was at the parting of the ways—either to continue the struggle for the emancipation of labor or else to ac- commodate itself to the capitalist system and the needs of the ruling classes. Finally, the Resolutions Commit- tve proposed unanimously (against de Brouckere) a resolution along the lines of Vandervelde’s proposal au- thorizing the General Council to con- tinue in the Coalition Government. Whatever left sentiment there was at the convention was squashed un- der the steam roller of the Vander- yelde machine. in And Now He's Fired “What do you mean by whistling Tike that in this office?” demgnded ja China and express our joy at their victories over the combined forces of world imperialism.

's to transform the bourgeois revolution of March, 1917, into a suc- cessful proletarian revolt. Sigman—“Booo-o-0!” Engdahl called for mass support for The DAILY WORKER in this crisis in the unions of New York. The audience loudly booed the names ef Sigman, Hillman, Green and all reactionary leaders as they were mentioned by this speaker and suc- veeding speakers. Wm. Z. Foster, the next speaker, was cheered until he was forced to pause in his speech when he started to analyze the New York situation, and first uttered the words,” Left Wing Furriers.” Foster Speaks, “The life, of the organized labor movement in America is at stake,” said Foster. “The struggle in New York, and in the needle trades gen- erally, is one segment of a’ struggle that pervades almost the whole field of unionism. In the United Mine Workers, the reactionary president, Lewis, is following a policy that must wreck the union if it prevails. In all unions where the fight is on, the left wing struggles to preserve the organizations, and to make them use- {ful to the workers. “The bureaucrats, like Sigman, sit- ‘ting in his office and trying to win the masses back to him with fifty- cent membership books, will fail. Their tactics of expulsion will fail. ‘When Sigman expels the left wing, he has no union left for himself. | There is a group of workers, the cen- ter of resistance to the union wreck- ing policies of the reactionaries, and this group is Leninist. The Workers Party of America raises the stand- ards of resistance.” Lenin Gives Advice. Moissaye Olgin spoke of the struggling workers of America, as standing before the grave of Lenin, “with heads unbowed and backs un- bent, for they know that altho Lenin is dead, Leninism lives,” amd asking his advice in the present crisis—num- bers of militants too few, intense reaction against them by all the forces of capitalism, betrayal of workers’ interest by the corrupt la- bor bureaucrats, attacked by the yellow socialist press, and in that nest of reaction, the Vorwarts. Lenin answers thru his deeds and writings, said Olgin, and reminds the American workers that all these things were known in Czarist Russia, and the Russia of Kerensky, We have the yellow socialists, but Lenin and |the Boleheviki faced the Mensheviks. We have Sigman and others in Eu- rope—they had Kautsky and others. “Go to the Masses.” “In 1914 Lenin said,’ Olgin re- minded the audience, “only the aris- tocracy and the bureaucracy of labor have made peace with the bour- geosie, Go to the masses; And that is good advice to the comrades in America.” One way to go to the masses, Ol- gin pointed out, is thru the press. The New York workers who read Jevdish have the daily Freiheit, and other papers. But that is not enough. There must be a @aily in the English language here} and now we have it. The Youth Are Jere. Sam Don, New York organizer for the Young Workers Communist League, spoke on one of the lessons vf Leninism, which means t> unite all oppressed sections of society against their common enemy, and epecially the oppressed proletorians, and among these, not to forget the young workers, sometimes especially oppressed.

President Calles of Mexico says that he fights for a greater life and a broader freedom for the common man. We must say |to Coolidge, if this is the case, as | you and Calles say, then we are for the oppressed peoples of Latin Amer- ica, and we are against you.” He also called for complete sup- jport of The DAILY WORKER, |which will oppose imperialism in America, Ruthenberg Describes Party Role. The last speaker on the program was C. FE, Ruthernberg, Secretary of the Workers Party. He is still un- der sentence of from five to ten years, as a result of the Bridgeman frame-up. He told of the difference between the old revolution and the present one. Where formerly we had blind pro- tests, brought on by starvation and intolerable oppression, now we have intelligent, organized and class con-| scious revolution, There is now a science of *which the founder was Karl Marx. Eenin continued the work, developed Marx- ism with special application to the world of great capitalism, and im- perialism. Furthermore, Leninism resulted in concrete application; we have the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, the constant model and in- spiration of the toiling masses every- where, and a dagger lying at the heart of capitalism. Russian Party Iron Rod. “The Russian Communist Party is the iron rod stiffening the battal- ions of the Red Army when it re- pelled armed counter-revolution and imperialist invasion, and the solid heart of the present successful move- ment to solve industrial problems in Russia,” said Ruthenberg. “We must. build our own party, for the same purpose, We will fight Sigman and Hillman, yet, but we will go on to fight a greater reaction, that of Morgan and Rockefeller.” He, too, called for complete support for The DAILY WORKER. Telegrams from the left wing needle trades workers now in prison were read, A resolution condemning American imperialism in Nicaragua and Mexico was adopted with a whoop. A feature of the, celebration was the cheering in unison of the Young Pioneers, in their red sashes. The musical program included selections by the Freiheit Singing Society, Rus- sian Master Singers Quartet, Ivan Velikanoff, tenor, and Mischa Misch- akoff, violinist.

F. of 1.” | Reports were recently current in Washington that Secretary Kellogg jhad proposed that the Latin Amer- ican republics agree with the United States ‘to establish such a labor bu-| reau, which would tend to reduce the | attention given by the public to} statements made by the “bolshevistic”’ | Pan-American Federation of Labor. | It was also asserted that Kellogg | proposed that a Pan-American Court | {be established, and that the United | States be given an unconditional | most-favored-nation commercial trea- ty with each of the Latin American countries. Tt appears that these reports were | based on the fact that the governing | board of the Pan-American Union, of | which the Secretary of State is chair. jman, has drafted a proposal that the | | Union be put on a treaty or conven- | |tion basis. It is now on a basis of resolution and of executive rather | than congressional consent in each} country. Debate Treaty | The proposal that a treaty be en-j| tered into, between all the member | nations, establishing the Union more permanently, will be debated at the next conference of the Union, to be | held at Havana in January, 1928. De- {bate on a similar issue. at the San- tiago conference of 1923, the last one | held, failed to lead to agreement. At Santiago, also, the Pan-American court idea was proposed by Costa | Rica. The conference voted to create a Commission of Jurists which will meet in Rio de Janeiro on April 17, | 1927, to consider the matter and re- |port to the Havana conference of | next year. | Some of the Latin American re- | publics have already served notice | that no such court is needed. They | point to the quick death of the Court of Central America when that trib- unal decided that the Nicaraguan- | Ameriéan treaty, ‘Dp by 'Hon- duras and Salvador, was vivid. They point also to the existence of a world court established by the League of Nations. International Gang Starts Fight With Dress Shop Pickets Three dressmakers were attacked and badly beaten by gangsters of the International when they attempted to picket their dress shop, the I. M. Raffer shop at 261 West 36th Street, on Wednesday morning. J. Klein- man, of Local 2 and B, Rosenfeld and Alexander Tanborine of Local 22 re- ceived severe injuries. The Raffner Dress shop went on strike when three workers were dis- charged because they refused to “register” with the Internationa! which is attempting to force workers to sign as its supporters by terror- ist methods. Picketing began on Wednesday morning and they had been walking only a short time when attacked by the gangsters, Police in- terfered, and stopped the fight. There are about sixty workers in the Raffner shop. Virgin Islanders Plead Against Navy Rule | NEW YORK CITY.—Declaring the navy government of the Islands to be responsible for “depopulation and economie distress,” 600 Virgin Islanders living in New York sent a petition to Congress complaining of their condition and attacking the navy government.

NEW YORK (F-.P.).—Gains of the Amalgamated Bank, first labor bank to be established in New York, were reported at the annual stockholders’ meeting in the new building on Union Square. The total resources of the bank have grown to $8,466,000, a gain of $6,618,000 from the total re- sources reported at the first annual meeting January 1, rayon Depositors ’ same perigd from 6,475 to 14,709 and deposits are nearly $5,000,000. Sal ellogg Tries to Make R | HE! New York Times urges an American imperialist attitude toward China contained in these words: y “This is no time either for undig- hified efforts of propitiation or for the use of force,” That is a rather healthy attitude Yor the imperialists on the day fol- lowing the wide distribution by the Shanghai General Labor Union of a leaflet commemorating the anniver- sary of Lenin’s death and calling on the workers of China to con- ples and the furtherance of the revolution ‘in China, and thruout the world. It is what the “dollar diplomats” call “watchful wait- ing” But this does not mean that im- perialism surrenders the least bit | in its ambitions to maintain its prefit grip upon the Chinese na- tion. The venomous serpent mere- ly recoils in the hope of soon being able to strike again. To scotch the hydra-headed reptile is as much the concern of American labor as it is of the Chinese people. * Battleships of many bandit na- tions, especially of the United States and Great Britain, are con- verging on China. It is the obvious intention to crush every attempt, if pessible, of the Chinese revolu- tionists to take over their own sea- ports. They have already learned that the avalanche of opposition to imperialist rule is so great.in the interior that any attempt to hold the great inland cities of China would be another Napoleon’s march on Moscow, with the difference that the Chinese cities would persist, while the invading hosts would be utterly destroyed. The New York Times again declares: | “Under these circumstances the | policy of the United States gov- ernment to withdraw its nationals from places of danger and to de- fend them if they are attacked at one or two points of concentration at Shanghai and Tientsin (sea- port of Peking) is wise. To en- deavor to protect them in the in- terior is as impolitic as it would be: difficult, ... Despite the fact that she (Great Britain) was ap- parently abandoned her concession in Hankow, she is planning to make a stand at Shanghai, in which place she is concentrating most of the British nationals who have been living in the Yangtse Valley.” * eee * But the Times is quick to add that, “Our policy of benevolent in- action should not be taken to imply an abandonment of our rights”. The only right that Wall Street imperialism seeks in China is the right to profitably invest its sur- plus wealth stolen from labor at home, thus still further enriching itself. On this basis, the imperial- ists of the world find a common basis of struggle, linking the war- ships of all the profit nations in * Continued from page 1 is reached, union soft coal miners may strike on April 1. : Can’t Rely On Lewis But left wing miners, with the les- son of Lewis’ terrible record of the past three years in their minds, know that to entrust in his hands full au- thority for the future of the union means a continuation of the rapid de- cline in membership and power. Whether Lewis chooses a dicker with the operators of the so-called central competitive district, western Pennsyl- vania, Ohio, Indiana and Mlinois or chooses a strike, they see danger so long as he is at the helm, Having lost West Virginia, the key to the American coal industry, Lewis has seriously impaired the strength of the union, they assert. The only way to stave off worse defeat is to give power to the honest pro-union forces in the miners’ organization. Will Put Him On.Pan Lewis will be asked point blank why his policies have led to the loss of West Virginia. He will be asked to explain, if possible, his refusal to con- duct a smashing campaign among the exploited coal diggers of America’s most notorious industrial feudalism. He will be asked why hundreds of thousands of dollars have been squan- dered on supporting lame ducks and idle international representatives in this pivotal state. . Not all Lewis’ bluster, pomposity and fascist tactics will avail him when he is called upon to render an account of his stewardship to delegates. His gang will be faced from the floor with, as determined and hard-hitting a group of progressives as ever wrestled for integrity and preservation of in Loner trade union in Amer- ican. history.

LOUIS ENGDAHL. tinue fighting for Lenin’s princi- | one common array against the as- piring Chinese people. In this crisis the smokesereen of propaganda, that soots its way over the pages of the bought press tries to hide the main issue behind the continued shriek of “the protec- tion of American lives”. At this writing the latest head- line screams, “ ‘Death to all chris ians’ ery Chines¢ mobs”, This i merely another version of Coolidge’s repeated barrage of “ptotect Amer- ican lives and property” to hide the real depredations of the American dollar in Mexico and Niearagua. * € 8 Too long, the Chinese have re- fused to perceive in the christian missionary the advance agent of American business. The protiteers have taken full advantage of this situation. On the bloody bayonet’s point of the Opium War, the Brit- ish carried white civilization, christ- ian civilization to the Chinese. The United States joined in the proces- sion of plunderers, evidently believ- ing that the Chinese would remain helplessly drugged forever. Now that the Chinese have not. only Ais- covered the fraud of “white civili- zation” but also the fraud of “christianity” in the pay of the dol- lar, it is not to be expected that they will be gentle in retaliation. | Yet it may be taken for granted that the so-called “atrocities” charged to the Chinese, the much- heralded “Chinese mobs”, the drag- ging of women thru the streets, and other “horrors” a re meré myths coined by imaginative cor- respondents who know that the home consumption of this kind of stuff is without limit. * * * The Chinese revolutionists know that they have nothing to gain by giving ‘the white _ civilizers, whose favorite weapon is murder, an opportunity. to arouse anti- Chinese prejudice at home, and an excuse for sending more warships and more soldiers against their own meager military resources, In spite of the christian mask worn by the imperialists, the Chin- ese make no war on christianity, Theirs is a struggle of workers against exploiters, a national revo- « lution to shake pff the clutches of foreign imperialists. The textile mills of Shanghai, where Chinese labor was tortured Wy the long workday, bitterly low wages and unbearable conditions, create the condition that is ynffying the Chinese working class as a fighting weapon for labor's emancipation. : . Shanghai labor has accepted Len- in’s leadership gp the third anni- versary of our revolutionary lead- er’s death. That bodes ill for the oppressors. It is a sure indication that Chinese labor as a result, in common with world labor, will have greater victories to record, more progress to review on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of Lenin’s death, one year hence. UNITED MINERS’ CONVENTION CERTAIN TO BE SCENE OF __ FIGHT TO SAVE THE UNION | progressive Brophy-Brennan-Steven- son ticket, the expulsion of militant union leaders, the failure of “Emper- or” Lewis and his satellites to carry out the will of previous conventions for nationalization of coal mines, for a Labor Party and the support of amalgamation in the American Fed- eration of Labor are all points of such paramount importance that angry delegates ar edemanding a showdown, The first big fight of the conven- tion may be precipitated tomorrow when the credentials committee re- ports. The administration gang is understood to have plans to exclude from the convention many. of the best fighters the union possesses.

His first | move, it is expected, will be the rais- Ling of the arms embargo, whith will |enable the Knights of Columbus in | the United States and the oil compa- | nies to supply the reactionaries with | arms. ; Mexico For Peace. The Mexican government is de- idedly in favor of a peaceable ad- |justment of the differences between | the imperialist government of the | United States and the Mexican re- | public, but is not willing to sur- jvender the liberties of the Mexican |} people to the interests of Wall | Street. It. appears that Wall Street has insisted that Coolidge go thru with the plan to foreé Calles to surrender or else run the risk of having his government overthrown by a combi- nation. of ofl magnates and its gov- ernment in alliance with the catho- lic church machine in the United States. Recognition Without Strings. While Coolidge claims that the Warren-Payne ‘agreement to recog- nize the Mexican government was contingent on certain concessions to the American petroleum interests in Mexico, Calles insists that recogni- tion was accorded without any such strings outside of conversations | which were not incorporated in a treaty and are therefore not binding on the government, The Mexican government seems de- termined to stick to its policy of putting its land and petroleum de- crees in operation. » 8 MEXICO CITY, Jan. 23.—Arch- bishop Diaz, expelled from Mexico, will sail from his temporary refuge in Guatemala for Cuba next Tuesday, according to an authoritative mes- sage received here this afternoon. He will proceed from Cuba to the United States, where he. is expected to urge the United States govern- ment to break off relations with Mexico. The mass meeting was held under the auspices of a new organization.

Large numbers of rebels are sur- jrendering daily and informing the government that they were induced to revolt against the government by catholic priests. \ Approximately 10,000 foreigners had complied with the Alien Land law by midnight on January 21, the dead line for registration under the gov- ernment decrees.
