Imbrie ImperlaIlst Agent.
The United States Government
regards the killing of Major Robert
Imbrie as one of the most serious
events in the course of its dealings
in the East. The loss of Imbrie's life
has aroused the exceedingly strong
protest for two reasons. Major I'M
brie has for many Yeas been an
invaluable agent to american inter-
ests i'll their numerous attempts to
win concessions and strategic foot
holds in the East. The incident of
Imbrie's death also involves the entire
American oil policy in Persia, which
is said to hold some Of the most valu-
able oil deposits in the world. During
the war Imbrie served as a U. S.
secret agent In Russia.

cause 1t felt that any step tending

British oil barons were, through years

Sinclair Oil Company sought a con-

STRIKING CAR
WORKERS WIN
MORE SUPPORT
Robertson Hegewisch
Car Shop Strike
BY BARNEY MASS.

With a greater number of
pickets, the strikers in Hege-
Wisch succeeded in getting the
roofers to come out on strike.
Rumors are heard that the men
in the Standard Co. and other
nearby factories, are also on
the verge of laying down their
tools and joining the ranks of
the strikers.
The men in all the car fac
tories have the same grievances
and are treated in the same
ruthless manner.
Conspicuous by their presence were
the extra number of bulls from South
Chicago. On inquiring for the rea-
sons of this large force of police, one
Of them answered: I'VE are trying
to run the men back to work and to-
morrow there will be about 80 more
dicks added to the force" In the
usual manner the bosses are trying
to institute a reign of terror and CO.
cree the men into going back to
work.
Cops Search Workers.
While the strikers were grouped
together in small punches on the cor
ner facing the plant, three burly cops
told them to scatter out. However,
before giving them these instructions
each was told to hold his hands high
up in the air and was searched for
weapons. The methods followed by
the police were similar to the treat
ment melted out to criminals. The
intentions were to intimidate and
make the workers acquiescent.
The DAILY WORKER newsie who
was in the crowd held up his hands
and jokingly kidded the cops about
their procedure. One Of the officers
asked him what kind of a paper he
was selling. The reply was: "a Com
munist paper" The cops refused to
take a copy when it was offered to
them by him.
That the strike has developed can
readily be seen when witnessing the
concern of the bosses in having to
resort to desperate measures to drive
the men back to work. The history
of strikes in the Calumet district in
the past show that they have been
violent ones. In Hammond some three
to five men were killed, after the
police shot cold-bloodedly into the
crowd.
Need Of Union Stressed.
The strike meeting was addressed
by Jack tombstone, assistant secre-
tary Of the Trade Union Educational
League. In short and effective talk,
he showed them the difference be-
tween a union and an organization
such as the Workers Party. 1--WE will
give you the utmost support and help
you carry this strike to a successful
conclusion, but II is necessary to get
the international Brotherhood of Rail.

cannot shoulder the responsibility Of

lie was speaking in behalf OF the
Workers Party, but will help you
in getting the union interested and

CLEVELAND HAS
GREAT ANT|-WAR
DEMONSTRATION
Ruthenberg Says Seize
War-Making POwer


Especial to the DAILY WoRKEN
CLEVELAND, July 26.-Be-
tween $500 and 1000 people
assembled on the public square
in Cleveland to participate in
the anti-war demonstration,
under the auspices of the
Workers Party. c. E. Ruthen-
berg, executive secretary of the
Workers Party, was the
speaker.
The Cleveland Public Square
was the scene of many great
anti-war demonstrations dur
ing 1917 when the Left Wing
Socialist Party in Cleveland
carried on determined fight
against the CONSUMPTION law
and against war. Audiences
ranging from five to fifteen
thousand people assembled
every Sunday afternoon to
listen to speeches against war
and against the CONSUMPTION
law.
The last great demonstration held on
the Public Square was the May Day
demonstration of 1919 in which some
10000 workers participated as march
ers in the parade and in the audiences
on the Public Square.
Last Meeting Attacked
In opening the meeting, chairman
Max Lerner called attention to the fact
that the last time Comrade Ruthen-
berg had attempted to speak on the
stone block on the Public Square was
on May Day when a great mass de-
monstration of workers of the city was
under way which had resulted in hours
OF street fighting when the 100 per
cent Americans and police authorities
had attacked marchers.
In his speech Ruthenberg said: "Ten
years ago today the armies began to
march upon the battle fields of Europe.
1t is for us to consider today the forces
which set these armies in motion and
to find ways and means of preventing
those same forces from again precipi-
tating an Imperialist war"
The speaker outlined the develop.
ment of Imperialism in capitalist
countries, incidentally pointing out the
Socialist betrayals is 1914 and con-
tinued.
Take Bosses Powell
The only workers who are not in
danger of an ImperiaIist war are the
workers of Russia. If their Red Army
fights, it will fight to protect the work
ers against attack. The Russian
workers do not have to carry on I'm.
perialist adventures in Persia and
China because they are producing for
their own service and use their goods
at home.
The one way to stop future Impe-
rialist wars is to take out of the hands
of the capitalist class the power to
make war by wrenching away from
the governmental power and establish
ing the workers and farmers govern
ment."
The speaker then launched into the
situation in the election campaign, end
ing with an appeal for support for the
Communist candidates, Foster and Git
low, because they stand for the Soviets
and the proletarian dictatorship
against Imperialist capitalism and the
capitalist dictatorship, which was
cheered by the assembled audience.

WINGS FOR
MEN
BY John p. Medbury.

A LONDON scientist says that
"A mans shape is all wrong
and that he should have feathers
and wings. If this was tie case,
men with long beaks would be
shot for ducks.
Can you imagine woman
going to the front door for her
husband and find him roosting
In a tree?
Shed have to throw rocks at
him to make him fly in the
house.
Wings would be a wonderful
thing for a man if his wife didn't
keep him in a cage with the
canary.
Many a husband would set
bawled out for dropping his
feathers all over the rugs.
He'd have to stay in the
chicken.house until he got
through moulting.
If your hubby started flying
around at night you could clip
his wings.
Wives would be better off then
than they are at the present time,
because If your husband chases
you now you have no right to
break his leg.
One woman said she wished her
husband did have feathers SO
that she could use one of his
wings to clean the stove.
She could grab him once in a
while and shake enough feathers
off Of him to fill the pillow cases.
Not only that, but he'd be a
wonderful thing to have around
the house on Thanksgiving in
case the turkey didn't show up.
If men had wings they wouldn't
have to use the front door. They
could circle the house three or
four times and then fly in the
window.
If your wife was sore at YOU,
you could just keep on lowering
over the roof until she brought
you down with a shot gun.
She'd have to keep hunting
dog to bring you in the house at
night.
OF course shooting your husband
wouldn't be novelty to the
women in New Jersey.
Men don't have to fly to get
shot at in that State.
II a man had wings he could
fly over any house in the neigh
borhood and if anybody question
ed him he could tell them he was
the stork.
If this scientist should get his
wish and have nature cover the
men with feathers, everybody in
town would blame it on the Ku
Klux Khan.
