RIGHT WINGERS
STRANGLE UNITY
AT WASHINGTON
Unrepresentative Meet
at Capital Is Fizzle
Special to Tn. Daily Worker,

WASHINGTON. D. ca resolu-
ton attacking thc united front farm
er-labor conference scheduled for st.
Paul, May 30, was jammed thru the
so-called Unity Conference at the
Hotel Hamilton here at a special
session to which progressives were
not invited.
The st. Paul conference was con-
demned by the handful Of right wing
delegates present because the Fed
Grated Farmer-Labor Party had been
invited.
At the regular session the resolu-
zion was defeated and tabled after a
fight by William Mahoney, editor of
the Minnesota Union Advocate, of
st, Paul, and j. A. III. Hopkins,
chairman Of the Committee Of az.
The Washington Unity Conference
turned out to be a small and unrep-
resentative affair. Delegates from
Workmen's Circle, No. SOC, Wash
ington, were barred as "communis-
tic" tho the Workmen's Circle branch
of Baltimore was represented thru
OOcldliSC QelegaJe. A clergyman
from Annapolis helped to swell the
attendance to the sum total of eight.
Exclusion Of the Washington
WOrkmen's Circle was purely arbi-
trary and no report was made to
the convention by the credentials
committee. The right wing of the
meet was Charles Mahoney Of
Washington, D. c., decided contrast
to his more progressive namesake
of st. Paul.
Washington progressives are GO
ing on with their plans to take part
an the st. Paul conference. Their
numerical strength is much greater
than the Socialist group that sought
to strangle the local united front

Ohio Comrade Starts
Gifts to Win Fight

History repeats itself. To a South
Slavic branch belongs the honor OF
being the first unit Of the Party out
side Of Chicago to turn in six dol
lars to the Labor Defense Council
for full sheet Of Ruthenberg Appeal
Coupons. Michael Sarich Of Dilles
Bottom, Ohio, forwarded the money.
When the Defense began its great
"One Days Pay Drive" last year, it
was also South Slavic branch which
was the first to respond
Following receipt of these first re-
turns for Appeal coupons, money has
begun to come in from all sections
of the country. While the amount
received Is still relatively small,
owing to the short time the coupons
have been out, II Is already evident
that the comrades are enthusiastical-
ly supporting the campaign to push
the Ruthenberg Appeal thru to a
victory.
In a typical letter, Comrade L.
Lagsdin, secretary Of the Boston
Lettish branch writes: II received
your Ruthenberg Appeal Coupons
and will do my utmost to sell them. :"
5. A. Pollak, organizer of the Bronx
English branch, New York writes
laconically: "Please mail our branch
Is more sheets of Ruthenberg APP
peal Coupons" Similar letters are
being received every day.
Chicago of course, was able to
make remittances for coupons before
other localities. The first party unit
to respond here was the North Side
English branch, Comrade Michael
Halter turning in Sc for a whole
sheet, three days after it had been
issued to him. HOW MANY
