Especial to The Daily worker)

Especial TO ne Daiiy WorkerD
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 2S.--At
last the government of Silent Cal has
spoken, using United States
Marshal as it's mouthpiece AT least
so states the proprietor Of Knights of
Pythias Hall, in this city, which hall
had been engaged for the mass meet
ing to be addressed by Benjamin Git
low, candidate for Vice-President on
the Workers Party ticket. The meet
ing had been vigorously organized and
largely advertised.
Three hours previous to the time
of the address, the hall proprietor tel
ephoned to the chairman of the com
mittee in charge of the meeting and
stated that United States Marshal
had informed the proprietor that Git
low must not be allowed to speak. The
right to use the hall was cancelled
and another instance recorded of the
tactics of the White Terror in Amer
lea. All may speak but those who
actually represent the exploited work
ers.
There were rumors that the meet
ing would be raided by agents from
the Departure from Justice" but this
good fortune did not occur.
Shuntlna of Audience.
Representatives of Washington To-
cal remained at the entrance to the
hall and directed those who came to
hear Gitlow, to the regular meeting
hall of the Workers Party in Wash
ington, where the meeting was held.
Despite the fact that heavy rain was
falling, the hall was crowded to ca
pacity by an enthusiastic audience
that welcomed the opportunity to
hear Ben Gitlow expose the fallacies
of the platform and candidates of the
republican, democratic and progress
sive parties and to listen to an ex-
PLANTATION of the principles of Interna-
tional Communism, the only hope Of
the working masses of America.
Comrade Gitlow was introduced by
Comrade Roy Leman, chairman, who
delivered an interesting, tho brief,
account of his experiences in Russia,
where he participated in the cere-
monies at the burial of Comrade John
Reed.

minute that he would enter an At

tration at any of them. Employees of

TAYLoRvILLE, ILL.,, Aug. 29.-The
local chapter Of the Ku Klux Khan has
shown it's true color as a fascist or
ganization ready to lend active serv-
Toe to help suppress the organized
workers.
The International Union of Retail
Clerks is at present conducting a
drive to organize the white collared
workers in the stores of this little
city. 1t is receiving the active sup.
port Of the United Mine Workers.

A few days ago the local chapter OF

leadership of a local banker, went or

to organize the white collared slaves

the mine workers in particular. Com

bound to destroy many of these illu-
sions. The Dawes Plan is dictated
merely by fears of German COMPETE
ton. Only fools and knaves can greet
this Dawes Plan. 1t seems that many
labor leaders have forgotten every.
thing and have not learned anything.
They even forgot the terrors of the
last world war"
In conclusion, Fimmen said: "In
case Of a new war, the working class
must offer the most active resistance.
The working class will have to trans
form the imperialist war into a civil
war"
These last words Of Fimmen called
forth severe remarks from the French
and German delegations, who said :
"Fimmen speaks in favor of Moscow,
and not Amsterdam"

DEBATE TOPIC
AT LABOR MEET
Fatty" Arbuckle and
Phil LaFollette to Speak

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Aug. 2S.-The
Indiana Federation of Labor was this
afternoon turned into an open forum
for the discussion of political issues,
despite the opposition of many of the
delegates to the plan which had the
sanction of the executive committee,
headed by President ]. N. Taylor. a
supporter of LaFollette and Wheeler.
LaFollette Jr. to Speak.
1t was understood that Phillip La
Toilette, son of Robert LaFollette, the
presidential candidate, would arrive
here at noon and that he would be
one of the speakers appearing before
the convention.
Because of the victory of the open
forum faction. it is expected that the
convention will follow the lead Of
the American Federation of Labor
and endorse the candidacy of LaFol-
lette and Wheeler. A lively debate,
however, is probable before the en-
dorsement takes place.

LONDON, August 2e.-Two

Guiding 70 from the provinces,
met here today at the national

ternationaI of Labor Unions,
British Bureau.

ure in the British labor move
ment, for many years head of
the Amalgamated Society of
Engineers (machinists) and
member of the executive COM
mittee of the r. l. L. u, pre-
sided at the conference.
To Follow T. U. E. L.
At todays session it was decided to
create national organization for the
purpose of co-ordinating the work of
the minority movements within the
various unions so that revolutionary
activities can be more successfully
carried on. The organization will
largely follow the lines of the Trade
Union Educational League in America.
This is the first attempt to create and
perfect such a national movement.
That the chances for revival and
growth of the movement for making
revolutionary organizations out of the
present unions in Great Britain, which
are now under the control of His
Majesty's Labor Opposition" are very
great, can be seen by the increasing
dissatisfaction of the rank and file of
the unions with the leadership of the
labor takers. Unofficial strikes, con-
demnation of officials who are betray-
ing the workers ideals, the greater in
iuence of the Communists among the
workers are some of the symptoms
which mark a revival of militant act
ivity. The election of ]. A. Cook, left
winger, as head of the miners union,
is another sign.

Beating the Heat

The usual summer heat has been
delayed but has come in all its old
time vigor. 1t now becomes the duty
OF everyone to beat the temperature
at it's game in every possible way
This we can do by attending to some
very simple reminders.
In the house: Keep out the dirty
deadly flies. They are our greatest
summer menace. Look well to your
screens and if the fly does slip in get
him with the swatter, fly trap and
fly paper Keep all food clean. Clean
food will keep better than dirty food.
Scald your refrigerator weekly and
keep the drain well cleaned.
In the yard: You will not breed
flies or mosquitoes If your yard is
cleaned of all garbage piles, decaying
matter, etc. Keep your garbage
pals tightly closed.
For the man Keep the surplus
fat off your body Do not overeat.
Overeating, always dangerous for the
sedentary worker, is particularly so
in hot weather. No alcohol-alcohol
is charged with the responsibility for
most cases of sunstroke.
For the woman: Do not overload
the stomach with sweet 'jizzy' drinks
that only increase thirst. Dress in
light cOlored. loose fitting clothes.
1t is not wise to be around on the
beach with head unprotected, expos
ed to the glare of the sun. Instead
of causing the hair to grow as some
suppose, it in reality causes it to fall
out A tepid bath on retiring is a
great sleep producer.
For the baby: Remember the ba-
by suffers more from the heat than a
grown person. Keep your baby in
the coolest possible place and in loose
garments, the fewer the better. The
daily warm bath for the baby is i'm
portant. Keep baby's milk fresh and
in "a cold place Be careful to guard
the bottle and nipples from the flies.
For the children: Instruct the
children not to drink at wayside
springs, old wells or brooks You
can always suspect such water The
simple and vital rule is to impress
on them the importance of keeping
their fingers out of their mouths. Try
to see that raw foods and fruits are
washed carefully before the children
eat them.
Then finally for all of us: Don't
talk about the heat. Don't read
about the heat. Don't look at the
thermometer.
