PEGLER LOOKS OVER
 ENGLISH POLO TEAM
Invaders Chartered At Westbury, More English
 Than England

seemed less British than most. He met Will Rogers and skinned the blankets off the silky ponies standing in q fretful line along the margin of the field, and he filled the air with le- Gitmate "damns !" that sounded very home-like to a middle-western ear, when the cowboy comic singled out one of them and asked Jimmy, what'll you take for this dogT
 The ponies, sure footed, smart and Undersized compared with the Amer ican mounts, were restless for work. They lashed out with their heels when the grooms passed behind them, and they fell to gnawing one another ab- stractedly while waiting for the riders to take them out for exercise. And as Major Phipps Hornby, who looks as though he might be on leave of ab- sence from the pages of Punch, being tall and skinny with a languid droop from the shoulders to the belt and knees like grapefruit, walked up to toss a leg over the ridgebone of "Hello," the other ponies in his file all stepped for ward, volunteering.
 Jimmy Faulkner said they were all fit now after their tedious trip across the Atlantic and he ventured to sug- gest that they were a devil of a lot better than most of the Americans had expected to find them. He went up and down the line, dabbing at their nozzles with damp sponge, using it like a powder-puff, just lightly, to wash off the dust. He smoothed their hides and eased the brides. Jimmy's own 31 kids got no better attention than the thirty odd horses that he had brought over from Mitchell field to take part in the rough-up.
 The whole country seems to be over- run with polo horses now, both British and American, for everybody has lem in Westbury and Captain Guest brought thirteen from England which are not stabled with the international group but are just being kept on hand for impromptu matches.
 Westbury, however, seems to have over-done the rare roast beef in this attempt to be as British as possible. The Prince of Wales himself, who comes of an old English family, wSs never as British as the little American pickaninny grooms who stand by the picket-line calling ''Oh, say now; that was jolly" or Garry on, Major; ave another go at i'm"

 SEN. LA TOILETTE
Arch Enemy Of Nation Says
 Imperial Wizard

HUNTINGTON, ". Va, Aug. 22- Dr. H. W. Evans, Imperial Wizard of the Ku-Klux Klan, in a statement here today, said that the strength of the Invisible Empire would be thrown against the presidential candidacy of Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, while a neutral stand would be taken in the contest between President Cool idge and John W. Davis, the democrat ic candidate.
 La Toilette is the arch enemy of the nation," the statement said. No man who endangered the success of his nation in time of war, is fit to hold any office, much less occupy the position through which the country must stand or fall.
 Both Coolidge and Davis are na- tionals and Americans, aides of the klan in the attempt, to 'Americanize America and for this reason the klan will take no part in the political strug- gle as far as they are concerned"

FINALS TODAY
 AT BROOKLNE
Tilden And Mrs. Mallory, Richards And Wills,
 Win

BROOKLINE, Mass, Aug. a. William T. Tilden, second, and Mrs. Molla Mallory, defending mixed doubles champions, will meet Miss Helen Wills and Vincent Richards, Olympic singles winners, in the finals of the mixed dou- tbles tennis championship Saturday at the Longwood Cricket club.
 Tilden and Mrs. Mallory defeated Gene Borotra, French Davis cup player, and Mrs. George W. Wightman, Boston, 6-4, G-4, in the first setni7final here Fri E day afternoon.
 Miss Wills and Richards easily dis posed of Rene Lacoste. France, and Miss Eleanor Goss, New York, in the other semi-final, 6-2, 6-2.
 Robert and Howard Kinsey of San Francisco, will carry the hopes of Amer ica against the Australian team, Gerald Patterson and Pat O'Hara Wood, in the finals of the mems nationals doubles championship.
 Prior to her mixed doubles match, Miss Goss won the women's invitation singles finals Friday, defeating the 15- year-old California sensation, Helen Jacobs, 6-3, 6-2. While Miss Jacobs played remarkable tennis for her age, Miss Goss found little difficulty scoring on drives to her opponents Dack-hand, her weak point. Miss Goss played bril- liantly throughout.
 The Tilden-Mallory vs. Borotra- Wightman match was featured by Til den's domination of play at all times, and by Mrs. Mallory's recovery to form after poor start. Borotra lost his serv- ice in each set at the crucial point.
 Miss Wills and Richards scored re- petedly against Lacoste, who had an off day. The match was over in three quar- ters of an hour. Lacoste> dropped three services, Miss Goss one and Miss Wills one. Time and again Miss Wills caught Lacoste out of position, and repeatedly made brilliant returns of his serve.
 While the Anzacs are favored to win over the Kinseys, the latter have re- turned to form since their defeat at Newport last week and are now at the height of their game.
 The Anzacs, in the semi-finals, de- feated the strong JohnstOn-G Griffin com bination, which conquered the Kinseys just a week ago at Newport.
 Tn one set exhibition match, Tilden beat Johnson, S-6.

WESTBURY, L. l., Aug. 22.-This Is the fabulous section of America that you may have read about in the society novels, where gentlemen spend their days scampering over hedges and streams on horseback yelling "Yoicks!'' and pursuing the hounds which in turn pursue the panicky fox until he runs into some truck-farmer's back yard and the farmers wife drives them off with a mop-handle.
 !, This is the one part of the United States where one man calls another old leg" or 'old bean" without self conscious smile. They even tell of one millionaire in the general region of Westbury who is so English that he sleeps with his monocle in his eye. This is probably the only spot in the world that is more English than England and here the Prince of Wales is coming to see America and the international polo matches in which the English team will try to win back the cup, in September.
 The British horses, including eight that belong to the Prince of Wales, are quartered hereabouts now, and the Brit ish players are living on the Fleisch- man estate over at Port Washington, a sung little country place about the size of the state of Delaware, with a private 1S-hole golf ranch, cricket grounds, and polo fields, but without, so far as could be ascertained in a days motor tour of the premises, ball yard for the development of the home run, which seems to be considered vul- gar out here.
 Jimmy Faulkner, the 70-year-old stud-groom in charge of the British in- ternational ponies, had them trotted oyer to MT. W. R. Grace's estate, which corresponds to Bulgaria in acreage, and the players themselves, staggered over, as the saying goes in this section, to play a few chukkers and hace bit of rough-up, Friday afternoon.
 Imported limousines and dash nbouts converged toward one of the in terior countries of Mr. Grace's empire and when they had all nosed in, in the form of a million-dollar square about the polo field, there were many Bel monts, Harrimans and social etceteras.
 In this atmosphere little Jimmy Faulkner, who has been British since 1854 and who contributed 31 children to the congestion of the tight little isle,

HEREOF GIVEN
 CONFIDENCE VOTE
Almost Certain Of Putting Over
 Experts Plan

PARIS, Aug. 23.-Premier Herriot received what was tantamount to a vote of confidence early Friday morning when the chamber of depu- ties, by vote of 305 to 209, defeated 2 motion by the opposition which called for an adjournment,
 The motion came after a day of at tacks on the European policies of ex- Premier Poincare, directed by the so- cialist leader, Leon Blum, by various interpellations relating to the London conference, Blum sought to show the wisdom of Herriott's policy and to demonstrate that Poincare's tactics had been the chief obstruction to the resto- ration of peace on the continent. Blum declared it was necessary to Jettison Poincare's program in order to reach an agreement on the, Dawes plan.
 This is Herriot's second vote of con- fidence in two days. On Thursday the chamber rejected al opposition motion to postpone debate on the Dawes plan until it was considered by the foreign committee of the chamber. With this vote of confidence Friday morning, Herriot is now considered to have won certain victory for the Dawes protocols.

PONCARE BURIED BY THE VOTES OF left PARTIES
POINCARE RETURNS TO
PARIS, COUNTS VOTES,
DECIDES TO RESIGN

PARIS, May 12.-Premier Poln-
care has decided that he must re-
sign as a result Of the defeat Of the
national bloc in the parliamentary
elections.
The premier returned hurriedly
to Paris this afternoon from a
weekend in the country, and con-
suited with some of his ministers,
at which time his decision to resign
was reached.
Edouard Herriot, leader Of the
Radical Socialists, is believed likely
to succeed Poincare, and Aristide
BRAND, former premier, may be-
come foreign minister.
Practically complete returns
from Sundays elections showed
that the national bloc, which has
been in power in France since 1919,
has lost it's majority in the chamber
of deputies.
MiIIerand himself may resign the
presidency, but cannot do so until
the chamber meets.

dendorff, Hindenburg and other mon
archists, who were gathered here to
unveil a statute to General Moltke,
to replace one destroyed by the Com
munists after the Hohenzollern head
fed into Holland.
The Fascist came from all parts of
Germany in special trains. They
were out for the blood of the work
ers, and wherever they saw a group
of workers gathered they fred upon
them. 1t is estimated that ten work
ers were killed, hundreds injured and
over 500 jailed. Workers marching
along the highways were fired upon
from behind fences by Fascist assas-
sins. Armored cars were used by the
monarchists to storm a brewery in
which the workers sought protection.
Monarchist speakers, advocating
the overthrow of the republic, shouted
for the kaiser's return. I'VE will

Leaders of the left claim the
result is an overwhelming repu-
diation of Poincare's foreign
policies, including occupation of
the Ruhr and insistence upon
reservations to the experts re-
port.
The premier's supporters,
however, claim the overthrow
was due to dissatisfaction with
the cost of living, recent raising
of the tax rate and other do
nestle matters.
The new chamber, despite
what Poincare's followers say,
will undoubtedly affect modifi-

Pullman Bosses
Agree To Meet
With Strikers
Brave Garments Fight
Forces Conference

For the first time in it's SO
years of labor fighting the Pull
man company yesterday agreed
to meet with a duly elected
strikers committee.
First refusing to recognize
that a strike existed, next refus-
ing to deal with a strikers COM
mittee, the steel car company
was finally forced by the loss of
valuable contracts to get down
to realities.
Twelve Strikers Elected.
The strikers chose body of twelve
men to represent them before the con-
ference in the Palace Building late
that afternoon. The committee was
instructed to give it's report to the
strikers that same evening so that &C.
ton could be taken.
Full reports of the workers deci-
sions will be given in the next issue
of the DAILY WORKER.
The conference was arranged by
Ben Marshman, official mediator of
the department of labor who has been
drawn into the strike, which is prov
ing so costly for. the rich steel car
company.
Three Parties At Conference.
But the conference which the com
pany consented to, is not a pure and
simple conference of workers and en-
ployers. There is a third element
present-the so-called "conciliating
committees" from the departments Of
the plant not on strike Most of the
members of these departmental COM
mittees are company men. Their
jobs depend on acquiesence in the
company's fecisions %
Three parties are represented at
this conference: the twelve elected
strikers, twelve company men not on
strike and McLaren, general manager
of the Pullman plant.

concessions, but he said the Pullman
boss asserted the reduced wage would

Doesn't that mean that he wants

company's own terms?" asked a re-
porter for the DAILY WORKER.
yes, that's about it," said the de-
partment of labor conciliator.
Conference Result Reported.
In his speech to the strikers at the
noon meeting, the second big mass
meeting of the day in Stancik's hall,
Marshman reported the result of his
confab with the Pullman boss that
morning, McLaren's final decision to
meet with the union committee.

PULLMAN STRIKE HEAD
TELLS WORKERS ABOUT
BASIS OF STRUGGLE

John HoImgren, viee-president Of

men, told the workers at the mass
meeting that they had struck a
blow at the wage cutting policy of
the Pullman company that would be
long remembered he urged them
whatever else they did, to unite In
the labor organization that would
make their next battle still more
effective.
He painted an inspiring picture Of
the class struggle and the world la
Dor movement, which is fighting In
Germany against the Morgan plan
to enslave the workers Of Europe.
Asking for support Of the DAILY
WORKER, he showed how this
newspaper, which gave the strikers
their only publicity support, would
keep them informed on the great
world issues Of labor.
As climax to his speech, he
pointed out the necessity OF class
conscious political action. He show
ed how United States senators and
congressman cared nothing for the
workers and bound the chains
around the neeks Of the child slaves
Of this country. He urged the work
ers to I'LL the posts OF government
with the members Of their own
class.

Iron Workers Force
New York Bosses To

NEW YORK, May 12.-Despite the
powerful openshop combine in the

Iron, Bronze and Structural Workers
union, has signed new contracts pro-
tecting 1900 of the 1900 inside or shop
iron workers in Greater New York.
The Allied Metal Building Industries,
branch of the Iron league openshop
organization, still controls a group Of
small employers by threatening to
shut off raw materials il they sign
with the union.
To strike these small shops one at
time is now the policy OF the union,
which has called out the men at the
Stolz Iron Works. The Mercury Iron
Works has just signed without a

DENY HALPERIN
SEAT IN MEET
OF The Ill. G. ".
Hits Expulsions AS Re-
petitions of 1919
CspeeIaI to rhe paIIy worker

BOSTON, Mass, May 1.-THE ak
OF the Sigman administration in the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers' union fell again in the conven-
ton here when George Halperin, del
egate of Local Sc, of New York, was
unseated by vote of 1872 to 35, with
ID unseated delegates not voting. The
charges against Halperin were the
usual ones of membership in the
Trade Union Educational league, to
which was added that of slandering
the officials of the Sigman regime.
He was also attacked as a member
of the Workers party, and for not
protesting against the criticism of
the Freiheit, the Jewish Communist
daily, leveled against Sigman rule.
Halperin Replies.
In his reply to the attacks made
upon him, Halperin charged that the
Sigman dictatorship considered it
criminal if union member urged his
local 10 pass resolutions requesting
the general executive board to re-
scind the decree outlawing the T. u.
r. L., and instructing its convention
delegate to vote against the Sigman
expulsion policy, tho the constitution
of the union declares the convention
to which all matters of disagreement
may be brought
Halperin charged that the whole
crusade growing out of the expulsion
policy was a campaign against the
political movement of the workers,
represented by the Workers party
He therefore charged it was an attack
on the unions members because of
their political views.
Halperin charged that the official
dom of the international were follow
ing the same tactics pursued by the
Socialist party, in 1919, when the re-
action within the party expelled more
than half the membership in order to
maintain its leadership. He charged
that the 1919 explosions in the
Socialist Party was the first shot
fired against the left wing movement
in this country.
