RAIL STRIKE ENDED:
 WORKERS "FRAMED''

Harrison, Ark, Jan. 6.-The Mis- souri & North Arkansas railroad strike, which started in February. 1921, has been oficiall ydeclared off. Two strikers have been released from the state penitentiary ,and nearly two score indictments have been quashed.
 The agreemnt was reached be- tween Frank Mulholland, attorney for the shop men, and Prosecuting At torney Greenhaw and Circuit Judge Shinn.
 The strike was marked by a series of disorders and exhibitions of mob government with no move on the part of public officials to re-establish the states authority. One of the strikers, Edward (. Gregor, was thrown off a railroad bridge with a rope around his neck. His terrified widow was forced to leave the county. Many strikers were also forced to leave Some of them were fortunate to sell their homes.
 Verlen Orr and Luther Wise, two strikers, were arrested, charged with bridge burning, and sentenced to seven years in the penitentiary. They insisted that they were told they would be lynched if they did not plead guilty. In all the long list of disorders that were charged to the strikers, Orr and Wise were the only ones convict ed. The relations between the mob and certain railroad officials were but partially concealed during the reign of terror, but no objections were raised by state officials.
 A legislative committee investigat- ed the lynching of Gregor, but was unable to report anythinf definite.
 The strikers ask if Judge Shinn would recommend the release of Orr and Wise, and if Governor McRae would release them if they were gull ty of burning bridges.
 While the strike has been declared off and the men are returning to work, the outrages against them are recembered, and Governor McRae is liable to hear echoes of them in his campaign for reelection

NEGRO LEADER

Brazil to Be Another
Haiti, Says Carney
Especial to the Daily worker.)


NEW YORK, July 2o.-An
exposure of the American gov
ernment's imperiaIist war"
against the little Negro republic
of Haiti, with an appeal to all
Negroes and other anti-im-
periaIists of the world to fight
for the right of seIf-determina-
tion for Haiti, is expected at the
coming fourth international
convention of the Universal
Negro Improvement Association
at Liberty Hall, 120 w. 138th
ST., New York.
Marcus Garvey, president-general of
the organization, has made public a
broad hint that behind the present
revolution" in Brazil there may be
some startling revelations of murder
GUS plotting by Wall Street imperial
lists to cause disturbances in Brazil in
order to use such disturbances as an
excuse for the grand entrance of the
American military and naval forces
into South America for the begin
ming of long reign of violence and
conquest similar to that which has al
ready been sampled on a smaller scale
in Haiti.
Mr.. Garvey in recent address to
his followers said:
"Farce and Lie"
81 cannot we'll understand the DO
licy of America in Haiti. Sometimes
try to understand it one way, and
sometimes l have to look at it the
other way. Sometimes l believe the
American occupation of Haiti was for
the purpose of helping the people as
they try to present it and adduce ar
guments to convince us, while, on the
other hand, l am strongly of opinion
that it is only game to further
cement their control over the black
race and exploit alien peoples be-
cause, when | come to consider this
violation of peoples rights, /

ENEMY PRESS
SEEKS To HIDE
UNEMPLOYMENT
Situation is Becoming
More Desperate
BY JAY LoVEsToNE


Almost the entire press of the
country is now engaged in
throwing out shovel-Ioads of
faIsities regarding the economic
conditions of the country.
The latest official figures on
the trend of employment in
more than eighty-six hundred
establishments in fifty-two in
dustries, covering at least two
and half million workers, be-
lies all the assertions of the en-
ploying class newspapers about
the country having turned the
corner for new prosperity.
Last month saw a further de-
crease of 3.8 per cent in en-
ployment in the manufacturing
industries. At the same time
the payroll totals declined 6.7
per cent and per capita earn
ings fell 8 per cent.
Worst In the East.
The East North Central group OF
states was the hardest hit in employ.
ment and payroll totals for June,
showing a decrease of nearly z (6.s)
and IL (10.6) percent respectively. In
the New England states, employment
fell nearly 3 percent and payrolls
close to 5 percent within the last
month. The West North Central
states indicate a decrease Of nearly
2 percent in the number Of workers
engaged and in the total wages paid.
The South Atlantic Division shows a
fall of more than percent in EN-.
ployment and more than 5 percent in
wages paid. The West South Central
Division and the Pacific tier of states
also show losses for last month. On
ly the Mountain group of states
gained slightly in June.
According to the United States De-
partment Of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, the food group, having six
industries, shows average increases
Of IL percent in employment and "a
percent in wages, for the month OF
June. Nine Of the ten textile indus
tries decreased their working forces
and wages last month. The textile
group as whole shows a fall of 2.7
percent in the number of workers
employed and 81 percent in the total
payroll as compared with the preced.
ing month.
As result Of seasonal activity, the
structural iron work industry was the
only exception to the decrease in this
group of seven industries. The iron
and steel industry dropped percent
of its workers and paid nearly II per-
cent less in wages last month.
The largest decreases in employ.
ment and earnings were as follows:
The fertilizer industry, 80 percent in
the number of workers engaged and
24.6 percent in the total wages paid;
in the agricultural implement indus.

PERSIA FORCED
TO YIELD BEFORE
U. S. PRESSURE
Scout Cruiser Coming
for Agents S Body

Especial to the DAILY woRKER)
TEHERAN, July 2o.-The
United States Minister Joseph
S. KornfieId has been informed
by the Persian authorities that
practically all persons impIi-
Gated in the fight as a result of
which the American vice-consuI
Major Imbrie, was killed, have
been arrested.
Further light on the attitude
of the Persian government to-
wards Americas threatening
note is shed by the formal, Of
ficial announcement of its lega-
tion in London.
According to the London represen-
tative of the Persian government, the
police did not take part in the attack
On the contrary, the police suffered
casualties in their attempt to save the
American. One policeman was killed
and several were seriously wounded in
trying to rescue Major Imbrie.
The statement of the Persian lega-
tion in London declares also that
because of the seetarian feeling at
Teheran the police were ordered to
do nothing which might aggravate i'll
feeling. This was the sole reason for
the native police refraining from firing
on the crowds which congregated at
the sacred fountain where Major I'M
brie was reported to be taking pic
lures.
There is little doubt that Persia
will be forced to yield to the superior
pressure of the American Government.
Besides the written note delivered to
the Persian government, there were
also transmitted stern oral instruc-
tions by Minister Kornfield. These
have not been made public, but it is
understood that they threaten Persia
with far more severe penalties than
even the official note did.
Spectacular Naval Threat.
From all indications here, it would
appear that the American officials
have determined that it would be
more impressive and dignifled to send
a new scout cruiser to the Persian
Gulf for bringing back the body of
Imbrie. At first the American plan
was to send one of its destroyers
attached to the European division and
now in Mediterranean waters. Re-
ports are being circulated to the effect
that the Washington administration is
planning to give as much international
to its strong-arm tactics
against Persia by sending one of the
cruisers now detailed to patrol the
route OF the American world airplane
fight from England to Iceland, Green
land and Labrador.
Persia will, of course, bear all the
funeral expenses and will render all
honors demanded by the American
warship.

Samuel Gompers may be given the
eleventh place on the LaFollette-
Wheeler campaign executive commit
tee. This is the title on the latest
LaFollette political movie reel. And
why not? Gompers is for non-partisan
political action and has never failed
to endorse one of the capitalist par
ties, hitherto always the Democratic
party. But this year, as If to get rid
of him, Wall Street gave Gompers
such hard pill to swallow in the form
of John w. Davis that the old man
even though accustomed to taking
hard medicine, found himself unable

Any socialist who thinks there is an
opportunity to spread socialism from
LaFollette's band wagon, should have
his thinking machinery repaired.

killed themselves, so why show them
any mercy.
If anybody had predicted ten years
ago that the socialist party would have
endorsed Republican for president
and Democrat for vice-president on
a program upholding the capitalist
system, he would be considered an
evil prophet. Yet it has come to pass.
Debs said that he would not think of
endorsing LaFollette on a capitalist
ticket even six months ago But Debs
lived long enough to disappoint his
admirers. Lenin could not believe
that the German social democrats
would vote for the war credits in 1914,
