California Fight
for Free Speech
Scores Big Victory

Especial to the DAILY WoRKER)
SACRAMENTO, Cal, Oct. la
red letter day in the California fight
against criminal syndicalism was
marked when the cases were dismiss
ed in Sacramento against William
Flanagan and Albert Strangeland, who
have already served year in San
Quentin and Folsom prisons.
The reversal by the appellate court
means more than appears on the sur
face, for it was Sacramento case
and except for San Pedro there has
been more intensive prosecution Of
the criminal syndicalism law here
than anywhere else. The court con
firmed the convictions of Homer
Stewart and Peter Wukusich, thereby
adding force to the claim of criminal
syndicalism victims that the courts
decisions are purely arbitrary.
Every criminal syndicalism convic-
ton in the state has been based on
mere membership in the |. w. W.
without proof of any overt act and
either all should be dismissed or all
confirmed.

factories of ladies' shoes uppers, con
tinues with pickets constantly on the

hinged on the activities of the so-called
American Union, which is, he says,
really scab-agency organized during
the 1919 strike of shoe workers. The
shop is closed except for couple of
workers who are kept by the bosses to
testify against the pickets.

censured

involved wants Intervention by the

to call a special congress to decide on

terly denounced, particularly by the
miners and conditions in the British
colonies were pointed to with horror.
Pres. A. A. Purcell, for example, de-
clared Il regard the condition of our
fellow workers in industrial India as
an unspeakable horror" The only
favorable thing he saw there was that
working hours have been reduced to IL

-Assailing the citadel of fear against

Japan Threatens?

Let no one put much stock in the
numerous lengthy columns Of full
limitations now appearing in our en-
pIoying class press against the war
like attitude supposedly shown by
the Japanese representatives in the
League Of Nations.
The Japanese delegates are now
proposing two amendments to the
latest "peace" protocol under con-
sideration. These amendments are:
To strike out the provision that the
country which refuses an arbtraI
reward of the world court shall be
deemed an aegressor; and the pro-
hbltlon Of taking before the League
Of Nations an issue which the
world court has ruled involves
primarily dispute of domestic con-
Germ.
1t is patent to all that the issue
involved here is the opposition Of
the Japanese to the immigration
restriction enacted by the last ses-
sion of congress. Japan is threaten
ing to vote against the entire pact
unless she meets with satisfaction
on these two points. The British
imperialists, above all others, are
especially anxious to avoid such ac-
ton by the Nipponese imperialists.
Great Britain's ruling class has all
to lose and nothing to gain by such
a mortal blow being struck at the
fiction Of the League of Nations
entity and existence.
The situation is somewhat akin
to the days of the Versailles nego-
tIations. Then Japan was standing
pat on the annexation of Shantung.
Woodrow Wilson, in the name of
the Yankee aristocracy of gold and
finance, had assured the Chinese
that the United States would stand
up for the restoration of this ter
ritory once held by the German CAPT.
taIists. It was this promise that
precipitated chlna's entry into the
world war. At Paris, however, Will
son sold out China and yielded to
Japan's claims to Shantung. He
did this In order to save the League
Of Nations, he said.
Since then times have changed.
American foreign policy is different.
The supremacy Of the United States
in the realm of finance and industry
is far more assured. Under these
conditions there is very little IIkeIi-
hood of Japan's being able to swing
American influence on the pain of
breaking up the league. The Dawes
plan is the American guarantee and
hope today. The Japanese i'm
periaIIsts know this. Their threats
are made with an eye to the future,
rather than as an immediate chaI-
Ienge to America. But for the
Japanese and American workers II
is high time to be aware.

DEPORTATION

Cancels Writ
BY SYDNEY WARREN.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Oct. 1.-The
Canadian government has ordered
that the deportation writ issued by the
immigration department against Sam
Scarlet, l. w. w. organizer, be can.
celled. This action followed vigor-
Gus campaign against the deportation
order which was waged not only by
radicals of Vancouver, but by all the
elements of the labor movement. 1t
had its elimination in a big mass
meeting here when representatives
from all labor groups voiced their pro-
test against the immigration depart
ment edict.
So fragrant was the unfairness of
the order that one of the capitalist
dailies carried front-page editorial
denouncing the immigration officials.
Scarlet was arrested and ordered
deported from Canada on three OBJ
solete provisions of the war hysteria
immigration act and even on these
charges there was not semblance Of
fact to warrant the order. He was
tried secretly by the immigration au-
thorities and altho all the evidence
submitted indicated that he had com
mitted no offense that would serve as
a pretext for deportation, he was or
dered to leave the country. This
judgment, it was shown, was already
prepared before the trial was held.

BEAUTY PARLOR
WORKERS union
TO TRIM BOSSES
Permanent Wave of Dis
content Growing
BY ESTHER LOWELL

Federated Press STAFF correspondent.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-"We're with
you all right" the girls who work in
beauty parlors of the Eastside enthusi-
astically exclaimed when theorganizers
of the Independent Beauty Parlor Work
ers' Union told them it was up to them
to boost the organization among their
fellow workers. The girls expressed
their eagerness for action and urged
the organizers to spare no effort in
getting the manicure and beauty
parlor workers of the whole city into
the new union so that the girls could
effectively demand decent conditions
and living wages.
I'VE work ten and twelve hours a
day and half day on Sunday from 10
a. m. to p, m.," the girls declared,
"and so we don't have a chance to
get any more than the girls in our
own shops to come to the union meet
ings. We want big mass meeting
when everyone can come"
Beauty Bosses Scared.
Organizer Charles A. Norman, form
erly of the Bargemen and Lighterers'
Union, affiliated with the Marine
Transport Workers in New York, told
the second meeting of Eastside beauty
parlor workers that the employers
were already SO scared that they had
formed an association and tried to
bind themselves to Sunday closing, but
that they "scabbed on one another"
and the girls would have to fight for
the better conditions. He told how
his wife, who is working her fifteenth
year in beauty parlor work, often
came home late at night after work
ing over some late customer who was
fussy and wearying and made the
workers to tired she had no energy
left to go out.
Must Fight to Win.
Maxwell Drescher, formerly organ
izer with the cutters local of the
Amalgamated Clothing workers
Union, is directing the organizing OF
beauty parlor workers. He emphasized
in speaking to the girls that they can
win but that victory will depend on
steady building up of the organization
He announced that the next meeting
would be called on the Westside, in
the so-called "high-class" district
Several men workers from beauty
parlors attended the union meeting.
