greatly encouraged by the news from New York

to Ensure the DAILY WORKER for 1925"
This splendid showing was made at gathering
of delegates of the local Workers Party branches
addressed by MOritz j. Loeb, business manager of

to build our Communist daily press SO strong that
there will soon be special New York edition of

the DAILY WORKER for 1925 comes on the heels
of the campaign that brought in 200 new "subs'

placing of "Our Daily" on the news stands so
that New York's workers may purchase their paper

New York City has again set the pace for DAILY

New efforts are being made to free the eight
members of the l. w. w. now in the Walla Wala
pententiary, Washington, because they killed four
members of the American Legion while defending
themselves and their hall from attack organized by
the Centralia chamber of commerce, following an
armistice day parade November H. 1919
Two overseas veterans have made afidavits
recently giving further details of the plot, proving
that it was deliberately planned affair and ex
onerating the 1. w. w. Seven jurors who, intim-
idated by the terrorism of the legonnaires signed
the verdict of murder in the second degree, have
also made affidavits detailing the methods used to
influence them and have asked freedom for the
men they helped convict.
The raid on the Centralia hall, the torture and
lynching of Wesley Everest, one of the defenders

tutes one of the most dastardly crimes chargeable
to the capitalists and their hangerson. The mem
bers Of the l. w. w. who faced the maddened and
wellarmed, white-collared mob, and did deadly
execution, rendered noble service to every labor
organization in the United States. They stopped
for long time the raiding of halls and assaults
upon the militant workers.
Now is the time to show the appreciation due
these comrades. Every workers. organization
should not only contribute to the campaign, but
should send strongly worded demands for com
plete pardon to Governor Hart OF Washington.

The Left Wing and HutchesOn

The Hutchinson machine Of the Carpenters Union
upheld its reputation for warfare on the miltants
by expelling five of the most active members on
Monday. M
The workers who were expelled were members
of the Workers (Communist) party and led the
fight in Chicago against the Lands award open
shoppers Everyone of them has long record of
service to the union to his credit. They we're ex-
PEELED because they fought the Hutcheson machine
and because at the recent convention of the union
they aided in exposing the fact that Hutcheson
after the members in Chicago had won the fight
has signed an agreement with the bosses for less
than the Landis award scale.
To put it plainly, they have been expelled in
order to COW other members into keeping their
mouth shut about other wellknown acts of treach-
cry pulled off by the machine
There is a campaign on in the Carpenters Union
and Hutchinson is up for reelection He is opposed
by Morris Rosen who is supported by the left wing
and the Workers Party members Rosen has
already carried ID. Detroit Here is another
reason for the explosions. Hutcheson wants to
show that it is dangerous for the members of the
union to differ with him on any policy-even that
of selling out to the bosses.
The campaign of the left wing might have gath
cred less impetus if Hutcheson had not resorted to
these tactics AS it is, every sincere member of the
union viii be able to understand exactly what the
issue is the left wing slate win get publicity
than it could have got without these expulsions
and the Hutchinson machine will be badly shaken
a result of the wide exposure Of its methods.
The fight for the reinstatement Of the expelled
militants began the moment their explosions were
ratified and it will go until the left wing wins.

Mooney and the MoIders' Strike

History is repeating itself in San Francisco.
The Molders' Union has pulled its members out
Of all "open Shops" explosion has occurred in
one of them, two scabs have been injured and the
employers association has offered "a reward of
$4,000 for those responsible for what is at once
called 'bomb outrage
Tom Mooney lis. a member Of the Molders Union
and it was because of his activity in strikes and
organization work that he incurred the hatred of
the open shoppers. 1t will be surprising if
the $4,000 reward is not claimed by some
vulture who has been able to FRAME with the Co
operation of the police department, sufficient
evidence to hold some union man for the alleged
crime
There will be many more Moneys among the
workers of San Francisco before labor there sweeps
out the treaeherous gang of union misleaders that
deserted Tom Mooney. 1t may even be that out of
this little strike of holders there may come an
awakening that will free both Tom Mooney and
the San Francisco labor movement.

No class conscious worker but will be thrilled by
the story of the heroic struggle waged against that
lackey of the British imperalism-the Esthonian
fascist government. To members of the Workers
(Communist) Party of America the brave attempt
Of our comrades in Esthonia to break the grip of
the Esthonian militarists upon the masses of that
nation is another glorious page in the history of
the world revolution. e.
That it seems to have met with temporary de
feat matters nothing. The workers of the world
have been made to know that the Esthonian Com
munist workers are not afraid to die, and which is
more important, that they know how to die-with
faces to the capitalist enemy, with smoking
weapons in their hands that dealt death thou
sand times deserved to the murderers Of the
Esthonian working class. enss
Good news, too, is it that the delegation of the
British trades unions in Moscow have voiced
their protest against the terrorism of the Esthonian
government that precipitated the revolt after they
had pledged solidarity with the trade unionists
Of Soviet Russia in the name of the British labor
movement
This amounts to direct challenge to British
imperialism because without its financial aid the
Esthonian government could not last twentyfour
hours.
