RISING TO POWER
Glad Movement Takes
Negroes in Equally
BY ALFRED v. FRANKENsTEIN.
Especial to The Daily Worker)


ST. PAUL, June 0.-Disruptionists
seeking to split the Farmer-Labor
convention in session here were
branded as political witch burners by
julius F. Emme, candidate for con
gress on the Farmer-Labor ticket
from the fourth district of Minnesota,
in which st. Paul is located.
"The only difference between us as
delegates trying to build a mass
Farmer-Labor party is not whether
we are Socialists, Communists, Farm
er-Laborites or members of the Work
ers' party; the only difference is
whether we belong to the class that
is exploited or the class that ex-
ploits," Emme said.
Rush the Movement.
Here at st. Paul." the speaker
continued, "we are building the hub
of a great movement, each spoke of
which is plank in our platform. The
only difference between us must be
if we are willing to push this move
ment thru, not what particular sect
or philosophy we may subscribe to-
Emme stressed the fact that the
convention, in adopting the platform,
had declared for racial equality be-
tween white man and Negro. He
spoke of the way in which the Inter-
national Association of Machinists
has sidestepped this question, and
praised the convention for calling a
Negro a man with the rights and
privileges of man.
How Farmer-Labor Began.
The speaker told how the farmer
labor movement originated in Mime
sofa. Though Minnesota had always
been republican, st. Paul was run by
a democratic machine. AS a result of
a raw deal handed the workers of the
city by this gang in a street car
strike, the labor movement entered
ticket of its own. The first year one
was elected.
The party began organizing on a
state basis, fighting the reactionary
labor officials every step of the way,
and bringing the Non-Partisan league,
the socialists, the labor unionists and
the farmers into line. The party had
as great difficulties to face as the
present national farmer-labor move
ment, but it was in the end success
full, and Emme predicted as great a
for the national organization
perfected here during the last three
days.

Pandemonium broke loose as Mac

The way for the making Of the
nominations came with the adoption
of the unanimous report Of the com
mittee on nominations. Even the
California stalwarts, including Wal
ter Thomas Mills and George C.
Kidwell, lined up for the report.
Gomperites Swamped.
When the vote came about three
votes, those of the so-called Starkey
faction Of st. Paul Gompers business
agents voted against it, continuing
their descriptive tactics.
All indications are that this Starkey
group is acting under direct orders
from the Gompers headquarters in
Washington. Gompers is receiving
daily confidential reports of the con-
vention from his agents in the con-
vention.

italy NOW A
BROKEN REED
Latest Murder May Be
His Last

ROME, Italy, June 20.-The
tense situation here has been
aggravated, not abated, by the
finding of the horribly mutiIated
body of the Socialist deputy
Giacomo Matteoti, for whose
murder the recent Fascist chief
tains and officials are being held
in Jail. The United Socialist
Party has determined to con-
stitute itself "civiI party" and
to sue for damages.
Even the Fascist majority in
the parliament, thru it's execu-
tive committee, is demanding
that Premier Mussolini recon
vene the assembly of deputies
for a thoro investigation into
The Fascist murder of the Social
list deputy and even more thoro
inquiry into the persistent
charges of monstrous graft on
the part of high Fascist officials.
Mussolini is being pushed to a
more sweeping 1house-cleaning"
to save the Fascist from COM
plete reputation and ruin.
Dictate to Dictator.
The country is in turmoil despite
the desperate efforts of the dictator,
now virtually the tool of his support
ers in parliament, to quell every dis
turbance and keep the labor and radi-
cal leaders in prison. The general
protest strike is far more effective
than the fascist directory will admit.
The feeble attempt to pin the Mat
teoti killing to an international ad-
venturer" proved futile, altho the man
did admit that he was hired by Amer
igo Dumini, leading Florence fascist
and criminal, to shadow the murdered
deputy and assist the fascist conspir-
ators in securing the documents
showing their graft, which the deputy
had intended to expose.

MINE STRIKERS

GUARDS ATTACK
Union Hall Burned by
Coal Operators
Especial to The Daily worker.)


MORGANTOWN, w. Va, June 20
State Cossacks today patrolled Brady,
a little mining town in the mountains
near here, following a battle between
striking miners and company guards
of the Brady Warner Coal Company.
The bosses attempted to evict strikers
from their homes at midnight.
One man was injured in the firing,
which lasted to 8 a. m. The union hall
was destroyed by fire and many of
the miners homes were riddled with
bullets.
Bosses Blast Town.
Four blasts of dynamite rocked the
town, and between 500 and 500 shots
were exchanged between the strikers
and the guards. Women and children
in the company houses were forced to
seek refuge in cellars to escape the
hail of bullets that tore thru the
flimsy structures.
The Brady mine recently went on an
open shop basis, and when the union
miners refused to accept a cut in
wages the company brought in strike
breakers. A vote was taken by the
strikers to drive the scabs from the
settlement.
Police Rule With Terror.
Sheriff Yost of Morgantown, who
went to the scene of the shooting with
a force of deputies, returned at dawn
with four prisoners.
