Dozens of meetings had previously
been held ON the same corner with.
out any interference. In the past few
weeks, however, there had been acute
competition between the Young Work
lers' League and the LaFollette fore
es for the corner. The Young Work
ers' League, being more energetic
had managed to capture the corner
every time. This must have riled the
LaFolletteites, and il is suspected
that they instigated the arrests.
1t was about 8 o'clock in the even
ing. Comrade Miller was speaking.
The crowd numbered we'll over 500.
A policeman approached and demand

no permit was necessary for open

the row was about. One spectator
was arrested for handing a comrade

The Providence Myth.
The latter took a chance shot and
challenged the vote of the Providence
local. which cast 20 votes for Swee-
ney. Investigation showed that the
Providence local did not exist except
in the lively imagination of Mr.. Sween-
ey In retaliation for the exposure
of the fraud in Providence, the Sween-
ey crowd challenged the Milwaukee
local which cast AZ votes for Sillinsky,
and threw out the entire vote on the
grounds that this local was not in
good standing, tho the members paid
their dues. The dues however were
not recorded in the International office
so that Sweeney could throw out their
votes.
Thomas Sweeney has proven that
one charge made against him by the
progressives is false, and that is the
charge Of stupidity and incompetency.
Sweeney is thoroly capable Of holding
his job against the wishes Of the rank
and file. Sweeney has cultivated the
official mind" which means that to a
reactionary trade union official the
rank and file does not exist except as
per capita fodder, in other words, to
pay dues and keep the officials eating
tenderloin steaks and roast duck.

Big Cannon Meeting
in New York City
Thursday, Oct. End
(speeIaI to rhe Daily workarl

Especial to The Daily Worker)
NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 29.-James
p Cannon, Workers Party candidate
for governor, who will be the prin-
cipal speaker at the big mass meeting
to be held on Thursday. October 2, at
Hunts Point Palace, 16Srd st. and
Southern Boulevard, has issued
statement on the republican state
convention at Rochester. He says in
part:
THE republican party Of New York
state, of which the millionaire Senator
Wadsworth is boss, has just nominal
ed Theodore Roosevelt for governor.
l am happy to have as my opponent
a scion of one Of the royal families
of the American aristocracy. Just as
England has its Prince Of Wales, so
New York has its Roosevelt, Jr. The
heir to the Roosevelt glory adds to
his fathers Big Stick reputation, the
flavor Of the oil scandal, in which he
is deeply immersed. In his anxiety
to emulate his fathers military repu-
tation, he ordered the U. S. marines
to Teapot Dome in the interests of
Sinclair and Doheny, the oil grafters.
| am proud to be the opponent of so
Ireactionary candidate.
"The platform of the republican
party of New York state similarly
holds out little hope for the workers.
Not word does it say about the use
of the injunction in industrial disputes
AN issue which is becoming of in
creasing importance turnout the
state. While it prates of civil liber-
ties New York state still maintains
one of the most drastic syndicalist
laws on the statute books. New York
is one of the few states which still
retains this legislation. While posing
as "a friend of labor the republican
party says not word about the relief
of unemployment, the protection of
women in industry or the minimum
wage legislation. The republican par
ty of this state is but cog in the
reactionary national republican strike
breaking machine" D.
Cannon is expected to go into the
issues Of the campaign in his usual
vigorous style. His talks are in such
great demand that he has been asked
to speak on Friday, October 3, at the
Queens County Labor Lyceum, 7S5
Forest Ave, Brooklyn, and on Satur-
day, October 4, in Yonkers at the
Odd Fellows Hall, 70 Broadway.

The governments two chief wit

The two who have repudiated their
confessions are William Muszyski and
John Crawford. In their reputation
they claim they identified three pic

they claim, told them those men

robbers. This they later did.

toward parole will be taken i'm

at such place as the delegates, in con.
vention assembled may designate"
Sweeney would substitute 1929 for
1921 which would mean no convention
until 1888 except at the discretion OF
the magnanimous Mr.. Sweeney.
What Funk Thinks.
Robert Funk, a members Of the gen.
eral executive board, voted against
this proposition and stated his reasons
as follows:
Fakers Fear Conventions.
'The amendment proposed above is
an outrageous attack on the democrat.
ic expression Of the membership. The
members of the G. e. B. and those
who inspired this autocratic proposal
should be required to give their rea-
sons for voting for such tyrannical
measure, rather than that should ex-
plain why voted against it.
''It is a disgrace that we do not have
conventions more often. 1t is sus-
picious that after the last convention
when big body of delegates was in
favor of convention every two years
that a Sweeney man starts this pro.
posal and the rest of the board mem.
bers are consciously or unconsciously
solid for it, for a measure which prac.
tically abolishes conventions alto
gether.
"And when I raise the principle OF
the right of the membership to ex.
press their ideas on policies and prob
lens, the right of democratic expires,
sion, those who belong to the Sweeney
machine sneer at the idea Of the mem.
bership having any rights to demand
an accounting from these autocratic
incompetents.
Cover Up Triekery.
THE excuse of "economizing" is
only catchword to cover up trickery
1.-The Sweeney machine is afraid to
face the membership at a convention
and have its ineficiency exposed and
discredited. If we do not have a con
vention next year, we may have little
or no organization to have one with
later. The excuse that there are no
problems" is preposterous. There are
always serious problems.
What about the new open Shop
Driver We all know that when we
thought we had the week work sys.
tenn settled in 1919, along came the
first open Shop Drive and almost
completely wiped out all we had gain.
ed. Now, with big unemployment
sweeping over the trade, the bosses
are beginning a new Open Shop
Drive TO finish the Job OF destroying
the ]. T. U. OF A. completely. Is this
no problem?
"Fraternally yours,
ROBERT FUNK"
The Journeymen Tailors' Union now
finds itself with an "old Man OF the
Sea-" on its back, and It will take a
strong fight to pry Sweeney loose
from his moorings.

SENATOR Walsh
OF MONTANA IS
PUT ON GRILL
Oil PrOber Asked What
About Mitch. Palmer?
Especial to The DAILY w0rker)

kSpeclal 10 ne Oaliy WoFkeI)
GREAT FALLS, Mont, Sept.
pa circular was distributed
at Senator Thomas j. Walsh's
meeting here by the Farmer
Labor Party of Montana, ask
ing Senator Walsh to explain
his unsavory anti-Iabor record
if he could. Senator Walsh en-
deavored to answer some of
these questions but others he
ignored entirely.
Walsh was asked, why did
you not investigate A. Mitchell
Palmer's connection with the
Bosch Magnetic scandal, in
which Mr.. Palmer got away
with $1,O0O,0OO where Fall got
only $100,000?" Palmer is a
democrat, and Walsh seems to
have confined his investigating
to the republican party.
Another pointed question Senator
Walsh was unable to answer was,
''Will the evidence brot out by your
committee in the investigation Of the
Teapot Dome scandal sustain the YER
dict of criminal conspiracy"
Easy On Wheeler.
The Farmer-Labor Advocate, organ
of the farmer-labor party, which sup
ports the candidacy of Senator Robert
laFollette for president. regrets the
fact that Senator Walsh in his cam
paign for reelection has received the
endorsement OF Senator Wheeler, who
ignored the farmer-labor candidate
against the reactionary Walsh, State
Senator ]. W. Anderson of Sidney.
I'D. C. Dorman, of c. P. P. A. fame"
says the farmer-labor paper, "the
hired man of Senator Walsh, came in
to the state to pick the delegates to
the Baldwin conference assembled in
Helena purporting to represent the La
Toilette sentiment in Montana, and
then, being afraid to attend any more
conventions since he pulled the c. P.
P. A. endorsement trickery, which was
repudiated by the organized labor
movement of the state, and what is left
of the non-partisan league, pulled out
for points in the east two days before
the date of the convention, leaving
Jimmie Baldwin in charge OF the gath
eringH
"The LaFollette manager seems to
be willing dupe of the old party in
triguers"
Treaehery in Montana.
The paper declares that because of
this treachury of men inside the La
Toilette movement, "as things now
stand, Dixon and Walsh and Coolidge
seem to have won in Montana" Con
fusion becomes more COMPOUNDED. The
farmer-labor party fled its electors
pledged to LaFollette in March, they
were regularly nominated in the pres
idential primaries in May as provided
by law; they cannot be withdrawn be-
cause Of the law the farmer-labor
party does not ask LaFollette to sup
port the state ticket-there is no rea-
son why he should not support An
derson and Taylor, and every reason
why he should oppose Walsh. To sign
a petition to place indepedent LaFol-
lette electors on the ballot in Mon
tana is to assist these intriguers."
There is no mention in the article of
Senator Wheeler's Endorsement of
Walsh, but it is well understood that
Wheeler has dealt the farmer-labor
party Of Montana, a heavy blow in
deserving in favor of the champion
of the copper trust-Walsh, and his
statement intimating he will with
draw all support from the party which
lid so much to elect him to the senate.
