Under Lewis’ orders, international officers had slugged Powers Hapgood ifully and threatened physical | gainst every Jeft winger in| the convention. Progressives in Counter-Attack In spite of the blows of the Le machine, the progressives came b today for a pov ul counter-attac: en masse. Led brilliantly by Brophy, Stevenson, Alex Ho’ Hapgood, Pat Toohey and Wi Brennen, | progressive forces lined up for solid Tesistance to Emperor Lewis. | Stevenson, running mate of Brophy {n the recent miners’ election, hit straight at the center of Le con- trol in a ringing speech which set the hall in pandemonium, Called a “slimy friend” of Brophy, he shouted in Lewis’ face that he could and would reveal the true sliminess of his gangster rule in packing the con- vention with several hundred dele- gates from dead districts. Panie-stricken when he saw the veil about to drop from his corrup- tion, Lewis halted Stevenson’s biting attack by pounding wildly with his gavel. The platform gang gathered about Stevenson, who had appealed from the decision that he was out of order. Vainly endeavoring to speak, he was forced from the stage. Lewis Offers Labored Defense. No sooner had Lewis coneluded a labored defense of his refusal to pub- lish the clection returns of 1924, than Stevenson was on his feet, rushing up the aisle to hurl the lie at Lewis for the “slimy friends” reference. “Ym: as clean a man as John L, Lewis,” he shouted. “A damn sight cleaner,” came a shout from the hall as he sailed into the emperor, standing not more than three feet from him. “Yes, I'm for John Brophy and I'll let my record in the Miners’ union stand alongside that of any mem- ber,” he eried out. “And as for slime, I could reveal things about this convention that stink to high heayer.” Lewis Packs the Convention, “Tell it, tell it,” eame from the floor. Stevenson igunched out to tell how W Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky, with not more than 1,000 dyes paying members, had a bigger representation here than District 5, Western Pennsylvania, whosé presi- dent earlier in the day had boasted of having 45,000 members. Reaction snarled out again in the resolution committee’s substitute for a dozen resolutions favoring Soviet union recognition. The machine does not allow hostile resolutions to come to the floor, but presents substitutes which confuse the issue and bewilder| the delegates. The anti-Sovict substitute in un- measured terms denounced the work- ers and peasants for setting up a workers’ government instead of a democracy. Stale charges that left wingers disrupt American unions be- cause they fight employer’s represen- tatives in the unions were rung in, The New York furriers and ladies’ garment workers were cited as ex- amples and socialist opposition to the left wing béth in New York and Eu- rope émphasized. Kennedy Speaks for Lewis. “The American labor movement,” concluded the gang committee, “must purge itself of this discordant and destructive element which overnight would destroy our organization,” Secretary Thomas Kennedy, under- study to Lewis, followed with an un- bridled attack, in which he coupled the left wing with private detectives and the coal operators, He endorsed the New York so-called committee for the preservation of trade unions, by Abraham Beckerman and his aides in the needle trades, and called for constitutional action to ériye the left wing from the miners, ‘President Lee Hall, of Obio, de- manded the immediate expulsion of all Communists from the convention, Emperor Lewis promised him that the constitutional committee would be veceptive to an amendment barring all members of the Workers Party from the union, Resolution Is Jammed Thru, In a wild hysteria engendered by these heated attacks in which left wing delegates were not allowed to take the floor to back the original vesolution on the Soviet Union, the lengthy substitute resolution was rail- voaded thru before progressive fovees could catch their breath. Stevenson shouted a lusty “no.” In- ternational representative Hefferly afd Ely of West Virginia, near him, called out, “wait till we get you in West Virginia.” Hindmarsh for Labor Party. John W.

This may prompt the machine to end the convention suddenly and soon. Back of the hollow character of the machine's propaganda and support is the reason I mentioned first, the ab- solute knowledge that the “Save the Union bloc” has the correct estimate of the internal condition of the union, the calibre of the official leadership and its policies, and of the serious problems which with the expiration of the agreement face the union by reasen of its continual decay and de- moralization under the Lewis regime. real advances for the workers.

Young Miner in First Speech, Young Anthony Minerich, District 5, in his first speech at a miners’ convention, waded into the Citizens’ Military Training Camp and militar- ism. In ten glowing minutes he paint- ed a picture of American workers being trained for mass murder against their brothers in Mexico and China. The convention roared ap- plause, but the committee’s evasive substitute resolution, referring the matter to the next A, F. of L. con- vention, was pushed thru. Brophy, who precipitated the big fight of the morning session by an ghalysis of the union’s serious situ- ation and a warning of the future if an aggressive campaign is not imme- diatciy adopted for West Virginia, brought Lewis te his feet with a question why the members are not given- tabulated reports on national eections. The emperor promises to publish the 1926 election results to “kept John Brophy and his slimy friends from saying I stole the election,” his swung Stevenson into action. The huge delegations from West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee,! where the union has completely lost control of the mines, were perfectly trained.

Emperor Lewis plans to exelude Final Fight In Sacco Case Begins, Counsel Argues Thayer Refusal BOSTON, Jan. 2’ A fight to the last ditch to save Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, awaiting sentence to the death chair, was under way in the supreme court to- day. Attorney Williem G. Thompson, representing the two radicals whose frame-up for murder has attracted world-wide attention, argues on ex- ceptions to the refusal of Judge Webster Thayer toe grant Sacco and Vanzetti a new trial, in spite of the presentation of new evidence. In the Jast appeal for a new trial, conclusive evidence was presented, including a complete confession, that.a hold-up man named Celes- tino Madefros took part in the South Braintree hold-up, and that neither Sacco nor Vanzetti were there, Madeiros is under reprieve from the electric chair to which he was sentenced for a Wrentham Bank stiek-up, in which the cashier was murdered, ae Ex-Ambassador Child Calls Case “Injustice.” Richard Washburn Child, noted criminalogist and former ambassa+ dor to Italy, in a signed statement printed in, a New York morning newspaper. last Sunday, called the Sacco-Vanzetti case “a blot on the record of Massachusetts justice.” Child said he had personally in- vestigated the case and found that the least that could be done for the defendants is to give them a new trial, in view of the affidavits sworn to by former department of justice » agents which exposed the deliberate frame-up of the two Italians. He also considered the other evidence, and said that he could not conceive how any fair judge could find Sacco and Vanzetti guilty, in the face of those facts, Roll in the Subs For The DAILY| WORKER. | Washington Going Slow on Mexico (Continued from Page 1) them trom the floor when the creden-| pulled off the great Teapot Dome tials committee completes its report.) and Elk Hill Basin steals that almost This will bring on one of the bitter-) wrecked the Coolidge administration est fights of the week, for beth men} shortly after Harding's demise.

Legion Head Says U.S. Senate Bows To the Communists CLEVELAND. — That the Com- munist International has been behind attempts to make the U. 8S. senate “more submissive to the will of the people” is one of the charges of Dr. N. M. Jones, head of a Cuyahoga county American legion committee, which has published a report flaying anti-war and disarmament efforts and calling for more prenaredness propaganda and recruiting in’ the public schools for the citizens’ mili- tary training camps. The report claims to see the Third International behind every move for peace made by various liberal groups. William Frew Long, manager of the American plan association and head of the lo- cal open shop employing interests, is one of the five who signs the report. Questioned as to the aims of the Third International, to which the re- port refers constantly as author of all disarmament moves, Dr. Jones said: “The aims of the Third Inter- national are well known and are pub- ished frequently. One of the things he Third International recommended for this country years ago was to make the senate more submissive to the will of the people by advocating the direct election of senators.” Women Give Support to Dress Maker Demands PHILADELPHIA, (FP).—Women citizens of Philadelphia, led by Mrs. Gifford Pinchot-—-wife of the former governor, are asking dress manufac- turers to avoid a strike of the 5,000 workers in the trade when agree- “ments expire Feb, 15th. The commit tee of women approves, in its letter to manufecturers, the demands of the union for a joint board of sanitary control, impartial machinery for handling disputes, and collective bar- gaining throughout the trade.

LOUIS ENGDAHL. | Parrbilesenae W. Browning, the aged j “Daddy,” should be getting to the full the publicity he craves in his sensational separation suit against his 16-year-old wife, “Peaches.” If the Kew Gardens realtor had the knack for rhyme and rhythm of the Italian poet, Ga- briel D’Annunzio, friend of the fas- cist dictator, Mussolini, who glor- ies in writing about his own sex escapades, then he would not have to depend on the frantic seribblers of the “yellows” as his historians. But these same “Brass Checkers” do the successful American “busi- ness man the questionable honor of declaring that he is getting more space than President Coolidge has ever received, One Hearst writer admitted on the witness stand that Browning tried buying him with the offer of a cigar. Evidently Browning has some knowledge of values, Justice Seeger, the presiding magistrate, also hes some idea of values, He refused absolutely to have the case heard in secret, flaunting the violent: pleas of the New Yggk Society for the Suppres- sion of Vice. This was’ the judge’s “chance of a lifetime” to get into the public eye. And why shouldn’t he get a vaudeville engagement, or an offer from Hollywood, along with Browning himself. They might even eclipse the fame of “Galla- gher and Shean.” It would at least help continue to satiate Browning’s hunger for notoriety. If he toured from town to town, flappers and sheiks everywhere, old and young, would turn out to give him public welcome, headed by the mayor and members of the city council, carry- ing the key of the city, so that “Queen Marie,” now safely re- turned to her fascist Roumania, would turn jealous eyes toward the shores still decorated in part by the statue of the Goddess of Libertynes. Sey aye ' This ability of the capitalist press to rivet the attention of the widest masses of the population on one subject, almost, to the total ex- clusion of all others, again empha- sizes the dangerous power pos- sessed by this weapoh so ably wielded by the kept hirelings of a decaying social order. Tomorrow Browning and “Peaches” will be forgotten and some other sensatien victim reign in their places. * * . Only recently the clever press agent of “The Chewing Gum King,” William Wrigley, Jr., netted his master millions of dollars worth of advertising thru conceiving of the plan to offer $40,000 for the win- ner of the Catalina [sland Channel Swim.

Forty- five flags fluttered from every cor- ner of the immense barn-like pall, four immense 30-foot flags ping the stage. That part of the stage unprotected. by the flags was com- pletely covered by red, white and blue bunting, which also covered bal- conies. ; The minets’ convention far out- stripped the meager, patriotic accou- trements at the Detroit convention of the A. F. of L. Red bunting w! covered the canopy over the presi- dent’s rostrum was neutralized by the plating of just one American flag. And, anyway, the Detroit convention hall could not be cluttered up by flags’ as it was used evenings for the edi- fication of gay sheiks and ding-dong’ belles to the strains of the latest black mammy jazz. * * * When the Pittsburgh train pulled into the Hoosier city yesterday, it un- loaded a cargo of 130 staggering ad- ministration delegates.

Yet this same press had the world with its eyes glued to Cata- lina Island, just as they had pre- viously been turned toward the British Channel, and are now rivet- ed on the court house at White Plains, New York. * * * This is the same press that the master class uses to whip the masses into frenzies of patriotic fury, when it is necessary to call them to arms in the service of pre- datory wealth. When the thunder of war begins to roll up from the horizon and the lightning of im- pending conflict begins to streak the sky, then the whole jingo press pack instinctively turns loose its publicity batteries in promotion of wholesale murder. * * * The United States senate votes in favor of arbitration in settling disputes with Mexico, but the pres- ident still considers he has a “free hand,” because the senate is surely, as it is, in favor of “protecting American property in” Mexico,” Similarly Washington announces what appears to be a new policy toward China, but it carries the promise, which is also a threat, that “American warships will pro- tect Americans,” ‘which means big property-owning Americans. * ,* * The yellow press may give the “Peaches”-Browning case more at- tention than the developments in Nicaragua, Mexico and China, but this does not mean that these mat- ters are not being attended to prop- erly in the seats of governmental and financial power.

The petition to recall Board Mem- ber Arthur Taylor and Organizer Clarence Donaldson of Territory 4, District 2, cites against them such technical irregularities as these same machine officials “use so eagerly against their opponents”, In parti- cular the failure of Coalmount Local Union to post notices a week prior to nominations. It was on grounds that notices for nominations were not posted one week prior to elections at certain Yocal unions, that these officials and others threw off the ballots the names of Edward Lynch, W. L. Ab- bot, Rober$ Hastings and David Grace, progressive candidates for board member and organizer of Ter- ritory 4. But the petition also strikes a blow at the whole practice of machine rule thru technicalities by including among the “Whereas” clauses the following interpretation of union law: “there is nothing in the constitution te throw out the nomination of the entire local union merely because the secretary was careless.
