The anger displayed! by the London tory organs was not| engendered because of anquish over | the losses suffered by Hungarian} property holders, but for the obvious, reason that Sir Austen’s position in this case robs the anti-Soviet press of one of its favorite charges against the Soviet Union, the charge that property confiscated by the Soviet government for the use of the work- ers and peasants is “stolen” property. * * ‘HE London Daily Herald points out that when the Czech Agrarian Laws were passed the estates 6f cer- * OPEN TOMORROW AT THE “GARDEN” The entire left wing and progres- sive section of the New York labor movement is anxiously waiting the opening of The DAILY WORKER- | FREIHEIT Bazaar at the New Madi- son Square Garden tomorrow after- | noon at 2 p. m. The Red Bazaar (which hereafter will be an annual event of the New York labor movement) is expected to be attended by tens of thousands of workers, supporters of the two mili- tant labor newspapers. With The FREIHEIT haled to court on criminal libel charges by the right wing and The DAILY WORKER still under. the spectre of a federal indict- ment, it is fitting that the left wing (workers should rally to their support. Unless the employers’ association shows itself more ready to arbitrate than it has been in its recent nego- tiations, the, window cleaners will launch their strike Friday. More than 1,200 workers are ex- pected to ratify the strike call to- morrow. The men are fighting for the full recognition of their union and a three dollar a week increase. * * « Negotiations Break Down. All negotiations between the em- ployes and employers on the window cleaning industry have broken down and a strike affecting about 1,200 men will take place before the week is out, according to an announcement made by Peter Darck, secretary of the Window Cleaners’ Protective Union, Local 8. Harry Feinstein, business manager forthe Protective Union, said, “Our union is in a favorable position to win this strike. The men are 100 per cent behind that plan and. em- ployers are sqtabbling among them- ST.

The committee of two labor officials and one detective cited the unseating of William F. Dunne at Portland as a precedent for barring Schneiderman.

He said he advocated high wages and wants new jobs for the | workers displaced by new machinery, but he fights the coal miners and steel workers in Pennsylvania. He said that there is a surplus of 800,000 miners. He ended his speech by attacking the Communists and the left wing of the trade unions. Johnson Avoids Mooney Case. U. S.

The government apparently was sure enough of its ground to let the champicns of the catholic heirarchy and the friends of Ameri- ‘an oil companies go ahead and hope- lessly discredit themselves. The re- volt, which was not hampered by any preliminary amests cr other activity by the government, was able to draw out only three companies from the garrison at Mexico City, and other small numbers in Pueblo, Torreon, Vera Cruz and Tezcoco.
