ARREST DETROIT BOYS
FOR FIGHTING WAR DAY,
Then TURN THEM LOOSE

Especial to The DAILY WORKER
DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 15.-Three
members Of the Young Workers
League were arrested by the police
as they were handing out the anti
Mobilization Day leaflets published
by the Workers Party and the
Young Workers League.
The police swooped down upon
the young workers as they were dis
tributing leaflets from door to door.
These stalwart uphoIders Of law
and order with drawn revoIvers de-
manded to see the leaflets and
found nothing sedltious until one Of
them discovered the name of Trot-
sky. Then they decided to bring
the youth to the station where they
we're given a lecture by the SER
geant who tried to convince them
that they should spend their time
to better advantage and suggested
that one of these comrades, a Nor
Wegian by birth, should be deported.
But after the examination to deter
mine whether he could afford to let
them loose without any great dan
ger to our society Of bootleggers,
grafters and oil soandaIeers, the
sergeant asked whether they were
against the Germans, and when he
was answered in the negative, he
said: "You better not, | am a Ger
man myself"
The young workers were then re-
leased and will of course, continue
to carry their fight against milf
tarism and spread the message of
Communism to the workers in De-
troit.

ARRIVAL OF FLIERS is
CAUSE OF EXCITEMENT
AMONG ALL THE MORONS

The heraIds of American imperial
ism in the form of the three world
flight airmen, reached Chicago to-
day amid the blowing of whistles
All sorts of Preparations are be-
ing made to receive the pilots of
Americas "victory" in right royal
order and It is expected that there
will be a real hot time in the old
town tonight.
Thousands Of morons are gather
ing at haywood, where the fiers
will land, in order to get glimpse
at the red-bIooded American pion-
GERS. Special trains will be run and
there will be more excitement in
Chicago, than if the news had come
that the King of Afghanistan had
married the Queen OF Sheba.
Traffic has been suspended in
many districts to permit the inhabIt-
ants of Oak Park, who will drive to
the field in their Tin Llzzies, to go
ahead without any delay. A squad
of slxty-nine flappers are prepared
to mob the airmen with oscuIatory
affection. When the alrmen recover
they will attend the reception of the
biewies that has been arranged.

C. 0. P. Senator
Main Speaker at
Machinist Meet
Continued from Page H.

Women's Auxiliary Of the machinists'
union, stated that the women have
both feet in this election.
After the favorable impression that
is usually created by the speech of
woman, Dennis Bait, the renegade
revolutionary who was recently sub
jected to a severe drubbing in his race
for the legislature in the republican
primaries, took the opportunity to
present Johnston with a new gavel
from the Detroit local. This is more
of a symbol of Dennis willingness
to be beaten into line by Johnston
who has finally rallied Bait to the
class collaboration standards of the
infamous Baltimore G. Ohio "get-to-
gether" plan.
Millionaire Couzens Speaks.
Johnston then took the chair. He
Immediately introduced the million
aire senator from Michigan, James
Couzens, who spoke on the subject of
liberal legislation. The report of the
resolution committee, which is in
charge of all the propositions brought
in both by the left wing delegates and
locals and the right wing, will begin
this afternoon. 1t is expected that a
number of preliminary skirmishes
will take place before the chief issues
before the convention, to be en-
phasised by the militant bloc in the
convention, such as the b. & o. plan,
smalgamation, the organization of the
unorganized and the question of in
dependent political action, will come
up for action. A hot battle is expected
especially on the subjects OF the b.
& o. plan and amalgamation OF the
metal trades unions, due TO the reac-
tionary position OF the oficialdom on
both points.
An indication OF the attitude Of in
tolerance towards the militants and
any Of their literature, was evidenced
when the news boy of the DAILY
WORKER was summarily ordered to
leave the convention hall.

ing her newborn baby alive in the

MUSSOLINI in
FIT AT DEATH
OF CASALINI
Wasn't Like That When
MatteOtti Died
Especial to The Daily wOrker)

NOPNSiot ~ NV lazy N0iHCEJ
ROME, Sept. 15.-An eIabo-
rate public funeral for the body
of Armando CasaIini, Fascist
deputy who was killed by Clio
vanni Corvi, a worker, Fin re-
venge for the murder of Cha
como Matteotti," will be held
here tomorrow on the author
,ization of government officials.
Prominent among the mourn
ers will be the figure of Mus
solini. The premier has already
visited the body of the Fascist
deputy, and has publicly ex-
pressed his "anger that such an
outrage should be committed"
The action of the government in this
case is strikingly in contrast with the
attitude taken towards the funeral of
Matteotti. In spite of insistent de-
mands of workers all over the coun-
try, no permission could be obtained
for the holding of a public funeral for
the socialist deputy.
Workers Arrested.
The police are making wholesale
arrests of all workers suspected to be
in sympathy with Corvi. A fourteen
year-old boy has been thrown into Jail
for no reason other than that he is
known to have been on friendly terms
with the slayer of Casalini.

MAC DONALD is
HARD PUT TO
EXPLAIN GIFT
Endowed" Auto Keep
ing Macs Tongue Busy

LONDON, Sept. 15.-The repeated
attempts of Ramsay Macdonald, So
cialist premier Of Great Britain to ex-
plain away the gift of $15O,O0O and the
Daimler car from Sir Alexander Grant,
millionaire biscuit manufacturer and
member of the Tory party, appear to
make matters worse instead of better.
Close friends of the premier advise
Macdonald to keep his mouth shut and
give the COMPOUNDED thing a chance to
die down. But there is hardly a billboard
in the city that does not carry head
line advertising some newly discovered
detail connected with the troublesome
gift.
Graft Story Funny
Had the story of MacDonald's sud
den good fortune been one Of plain and
vulgar graft, while it might have
created a storm of anger among the
betrayed workers, an element Of I'M
conscious humor which is present in
this case would be lacking.
Taking the biscuit" from now on
will be understood to mean accepting
a bride or participating in graft. The
alleged fight made by Macdonald
against acceptance of the gift is COM
mented on derisively and writer's OF
headlines are straining their ingenuity
in framing the snappiest combination
of words possible to put the premier's
financial pursuits in ludicruous light.
The following are samples: "Mac's
Car Drinks Much Gas: Would Drain
the Teapot Done" "Takes Thirty
Thousand Pounds To Keep Her Thirst
Quenched." Dough Makes Biscuits;
Ramsay Makes Dough"
Strange 5edfeIIows
The Communists are calling atten-
ton to the points of similarity between
the generosity of Edward l.. Doheny,
of America to Albert B. Fall, member
of the Harding cabinet and that OF Sir
Alexander Grant to James Ramsay
Macdonald. Doheny is a democrat,
while Senator Fall was a republican.
Sir Grant is Tory while Macdonald
is a socialist. Political grafters are
something strange bedfellows.
The left wing section of the British
labor movement is furious and de-
mands the premier's political head. His
recent statements repudiating the class
struggle and calling for closer collabo-
ration with the bourgeoisie have helped
to kill his reputation as a radical
among the class conscious workers but
this exposure helps to put the tin hat
on him as working class leader.

The meeting at Elizabeth was re-
markable. A large audience sat in
rapt attention for almost two hours
listening to Foster. They repeatedly
broke in on him with loud applause.
A large number of tickets were sold,
admission was charged and in addition
collection of almost two hundred
dollars was taken up. On the follow
ing night an equally successful meet
ing was held. There also large de-
tail Of police watched over the meet
ing. Apparently the New Jersey

B. & 0. BOOSTERS
FAIL TO ROUSE
ANY ENTHUSIASM
BY CYRIL LAM5KIN.
eiaI to The DAILY WORkER.)

Especial to The DAILY WORkER.)
DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 15.-Taking
advantage of the presence in Detroit
of members of the general executive
board of the International Association
of Machinists, who are here for the
convention, Detroit Local No. 50, has
arranged a series of open meetings
for the purpose of recruiting new
members. The first of these meet
ings was addressed by four members
of the general executive board.
Surprised at 1o-hour Day.
Nicholson, the first speaker, admit
ted that the union had lost ground
since the organization campaign in
1916, conducted under his leadership.
He said he was surprised to find
many shops maintaining ten-hour
day. Suddenly he was fired with elo-
quence in speaking Of the millennium
when the devil will be chained and
there will be no sin for a thousand
years.
He raped the democratic party for
its failure to nominate McAdoo and
urged those present to vote for La
Toilette. He concluded by express
ing his pleasure at the denomination
of the multi-millionaire James Cou-
zens for U. S. senator. A casual re-
mark about Couzens being the man
who created the fine conditions in
the Ford plant brought bitter smiles
to the face Of many Ford worker
present at the meeting.
Announce Brownie Meetings.
Mr.. Fickert, who followed Nichol-
son, announced the meeting next
Thursday, which will be addressed by
President Brownie, of the Amalga-
mated Engineering Union Of Great
Britain.
Brownie, who is the fraternal dele.
gate from Britain to the Canadian
Trade Union Congress, is to address
meetings in the principal cities OF
the United States for the purpose OF
interesting the tens of thousands OF
British mechanics in the U. S. who
according to this official, not only do
not join the I. A. of NJ, but in many
instances directly scab on the Ameri.
can machinists.
The keynote of the next speaker
was: Gain responsibility. He urged
the trade unionists to speak to the
butcher, the baker and others of the
so-called public on the gentle aims
and objects of the labor movement.
Mr.. Mcmahon, the last speaker
pleaded for pep and for appreciation
of the noble cause Of labor. But like
the previous speakers, he failed to
suggest a single concrete issue that
would inspire a worker to join his
fellow workers and battle for better
conditions.
Militant Sees Lack of Spirit.
A militant in the machinists' union
who heard for the first time four
leaders of his international union, re,
marked at the close Of the meeting
that the thing that impressed him
most was the spiritlessness and utter
incapacity Of such men to inspire dis
contented workers, and the conse
quent opportunity for the militants
who have an inspiring message To
win the workers. All that is neces
sary is an indomitable win and thoro
organization to accomplish the feat
Of winning over an important trade
union to the revolutionary position.

as he starts to thresh a new crop, has

that spring wheat dropped 21c, winter
15c and durum 22c in a month, an
