Page Two The Convention of Police Informers in Los Angeles The arrest of Sidney Bush, a young Communist worker, by the Los Angeles police, their search for “convention resolutions,” and finally the holding of Bush without bail on a charge of crim- inal syndicalism, is further proof of the community of interest established with the police of this premier open shop city by A. F. of L. officialdom. The whole police force, it seems, since the~head of the detec- tive forces was brought in to both question and furnish informa-| tion in connection with activities of a Communist delegate from the office workers’ union, is at the disposal of Messrs. Green, Woll, Lewis et al. The police force of Los Angeles, whose sadistic brutality has been-immortalized by Upton Sinclair in “Singing Jailbirds,” ap- pears to have been enlisted in the holy cause of preventing the apright officialdom of the Federation of Labor and the National Civic Federation from being contaminated by Communism. + This is all as it should be. Nothing more appropriate with which to grace this assemblage of unionists for business only could be imagined than the ousting and jailing of Communist workers in smug co-oper¢ ion with the official thugs of the worst open shoppers in the United States. The whole affair shows that the balmy Pacific breezes have not changed the policy which A. F. of L. officialdom follows where the more bitter blasts of the Atlantic blow. Police, stoolpigeons and gangsters, wholesale sluggings and arrests, workers railroaded to jail by the frame-up system worked jointly by A. F. of L. officialdom, socialist leaders and the gov- ernment—this is the record of A. F. of L. leadership in the needle trades. Los Angeles workers will learn that California climate no magic power of curing official labor’s corruption. What is to be done? One thing only——continue with redoubled energy the exposure of these official leaders as co-partners with the bosses and the government of the bosses in the suppression of the working class, and utilize their every Judas action to stimulate the resentment every honest worker feels when open stool-pigeonism has become a settled policy in official labor circles. Expose these leaders by their own words and deeds and or- ganize the rank and file to rescue the labor movement from their clutches.

Causing Trouble WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—The In-| ternational Radio Conference deleg- ates, four hundred of them, sat} | thru the speech of President Calvin} Coolidge in the opening session to- | day. Aside from the usual platit- { | udes of weleome, and the advice to} ‘the delegates to “settle all differ-| jences by a policy of candid discus- | |sion, generous conciliation and wide} co-operation,” Coolidge said nothing. | ;__ Secretary of Commerce Herbert | | Hoover came closer to the problems | {confronting the delegates, in his| | Speech in which he pointed out that the United States, without relin- quishing its policy of private mon- opoyl of ether waves, would like some kind of agreement with Euro- pean government controlled radio broadcasters by which jamming the air, and constant interference would be reduced. Question of U. S. S. R. A political issue of some im- | portance is being raised, in the ques- \tion of what shall be done with the | Soviet Union, which is not allowed to participate in the conference, tho | Tsarist Russia was one of the origin- ators of the plan for such confer- ences. Secretaries Kellogg and Hoover | agreed upon one thing, in preparing |for the Intl. Radio-Telegraph Con- ference in Washington. They agreed that the U. S. S. R. should be ex- cluded. But now the Associated Press has circulated a report that |the German delegation will propose |that Germany be permitted to vote |the Soviet proxy in the meeting. | To Vote Proxy? Under the rules of past confer- jences of the nations on radio-tele- |graph matters, a proxy system has |been legalized. If the German de- | jlegation, upon its arrival, shall be {found to carry the Russian proxy, |with instructions from the Berlin |government to use that proxy to] | maintain the German strength in the| meeting, then the American delega- tion will seek to defeat them on a |rolleall vote the grant of permission} | to use the proxy. | Germany needs support because |her previous voting strength in the |eonference was six votes—one for| |Germany and five for her colonies. | If the other nations enforce the old |rule against her, she will lose the |five votes of her former colonies, Possibly Great Britain, which now has most of these colonies as mand- ates, will demand further votes. Japan and Italy are asking an in- jerease in their votes because they lhave acquired new colonies since 1912. | SAY es SAE Are You Collecting Bundles, | Names, Ads for the Bazaar?

In an appeal to the workers of the city and vicinity issued several days ago, urging them to build their press by attending the Bazaar, the District office of the Workers (Communist) Party declared: “The main responsi- bility for the success of the Bazaar now falls upon the comrades of our district, who will have to shoulder the many tasks and duties. which are nec- |essary in order to carry thru the plans of the Bazaar Committee. Anticipate Success. That the forthcoming affair will be a huge success is indicated by the fact that all previous events for the support of The DAILY WORKE® and The FREIHEIT has called forth thousands of workers of the city. At the Freiheit Jubilee held last Feb- ruary at the Garden, nearly 25,000 workers paid admissions ranging from fifty cents to two dollars to:at- tend and cheer the achievements of the fighting organ of the Jewish proletariat. Hundreds of Articles, During the coming four days ar- ticles cf every kind and description will be sold at amazingly low prices, it is announced. Men’s and women’s clothes, hats, fur coats, victrolas, ra-. dios, household furniture; books, pic- tures, and hundreds of other articles! will be available at the booths which are being super d by active mem- bers of Party units, progressive labor organizations, and workers’ clubs.

In accordance with the plans made for their rezeption by the U. S. S. R. Society for Cultural Relations, the participants in the tour will not only devote their time to the celebra- tions, but also visit the theatres, art galleries, museums, and especially the many examples of ancient architec- ture for which Russia is famous. | liner Among these latter. the most prom- inent is the old “Cathedral of St. | Ba: now turned by the Soviet au- thovities into a museum, This former “Vasily Blashenny Cathedral” is at the southern end of Red Square, near the Kremlin. It is one of the most marvellous monuments of ancient Rus- sian architecture. Now a Museum. It was built by the master-builders Barma and Postnik in the years 1554- 1560, during the reign of. Ivan the Terrible, in commemoration of the conquest of Kazan. The impressive minarets and tower- ing spires of this cathedral which have | housed innumerable scenes of religious frenzy and protestations of mass sub- missiveness, now adorn a museum, the cathedral having been converted to that artistic use when the Soviets gained the ascendancy. In some of the rooms of the museum, arranged since the revolution, are exhibited plans, designs and manuscripts con- nected with the building and the his- tory of the cathedral. Visits to numerous such museums which in tsarist days were citadels of the ruling class are on the list of activities of the World Tourist party.
