Under the Fascist Thumb

Three delegates to the convention Of the
Women's International League for Peace and
Freedom, will not be received by Mrs. "Cal" Coo
lidge at the White House, in Washington, today,
Why these women should wish to go to the White
House. we do not know, but the reason that three
of them are denied admission is interesting
When the peace delegates drop around to the
White House, the undesirable ones will be Nine
Rosika Schwimmer, Miss Wilma Gluchlich and
Mrs. Meller, all of Hungary. The excuse is offered
that they have not received the 30. X" of the
Hungarian ambassador, Count Laszio Szechenyi
Hungary today is under the Fascist rule of the
Dictator Horthy. The Communist movement and
all radical sections of the political and industrial
movement of labor are outlawed. Even all forms
of liberalism are frowned upon. 1t is the bloody
thumb of this Hungarian Fascist dictatorship
that brought pressure upon the White House al
Washington, ID. c., so that the three peace dele
gates from Hungary had the doors closed in Their
faces. 1t is well that all the workers and farmers
should know where Cautious Cal" gets his in
spiration; from among the most reactionary Of
capitalist rulers.

Policemen and firemen of Cleveland, Ohio, are
being told what valuable members they are to
modern capitalist society. The occasion is the
effort of the yellow press and the open shop en-
ployers to smash all semblance of organization
among these municipal workers.
These workers are told that they have the
privilege, just like a soldier, to "face death on
OCCASION" that their work is similar to that of
soldiers that they are the ''Hrst line Of defense
against destruction by criminal violence and fire."
In Cleveland the head of the Firemen's Union
has been expelled by Director of Public Safety
Barry. This union official was driven out of the
fire department for the sole reason that he sought
to protect the human rights of the workers.
There is no reason why there should not be three
eight-hour shifts in the police and fire departments
of any CITY, except the one that big employers are
opposed on principle to an eight-hour day. And
that is about the only issue raised by Firemen's
Union, where it is not compelled to fight for the
double-platoon, or 12-hour day, as against the
24'hour shift.
Only the big property holders oppose the three
shift or even the two-shift system for tiremen,
altho it is their property that the fireman must
protect that the fireman must risk his life to save
The fireman needs a union to put up fight for
him. If he is good enough to sacrifice comfort,
health and life ITSELF to safeguard property, he is
good enough to have union to see that he gets the
right hours and wages. All the pluto press piffle
about the dangers of unionism, is ON par with all
promises made to the conscripted soldiers sent
across the Atlantic to fight the battles of J. Pier
pont Morgan in Europe. The returned soldiers are
now making fight for bonus from congress in
spite of all the 'pay-triotism" and fag-waving of
the American Bankers Association and the Wall
Street Journal
Let the fremen of Cleveland stand by their ex-
PEELED comrade against the attack of the Employ
ers' Association and the Chamber of Commerce.
Let the firemen in all cities organize their unions
Only thru their unions will they be able to win
living conditions for themselves and their families

Then and Now.

Ten years ago, in the days of "peace time"
Socialism, before the great war swept over the
world, an election in Germany received only pass
ing notice abroad. Not even when the German
Socialists reached their pre-war strength of ITO
reichstag members, did the foreign press show
any signs of getting excited
But times have changed. Now Communism is
making over the map of the world. And the cleo
ton of so Communists to the German reichstag
forces the elections in Germany onto the first
pages of the daily press for many days in success
sion "The terrifying growth of the Communists
becomes subject of immediate concern in all
imperialist capitals. Shudderings are felt in
Paris London, Rome, Toxic, as well as in Wash
ington.
Thus the German elections contrast the respec-
tive dangers to capitalism of "peace time So
cialism and the struggle Of Communism in the
present days of the developing class war. 1t was
not for nothing that four million workers voted
for Communist candidates in Germany, while mil
lions deserted the standards of the German So
cialism of Ebert, Noske and Scheidemann.
Just as the Russian workers and farmers hocked
to the Bolshevik standards and pressed on to vic
tory, just so the German masses are rallying
under the banners of the German Communist
Party Section Of the Communist International
And to the increasing extent that the Germans
turn to Communism, just so rapidly will they ap-
proach the victory for their own class
World capitalism fears the growth of Com
munsm, because it recognizes in Communist lead
ership the conquering power that will envelop it
in defeat That world capitalism, in "peace time
correctly estimated the role of the Socialists" is
shown by the fact that the German socialdemo7
cracy is now seeking to impose the slavery chains
of the House of Morgan upon the limbs of German
labor thru the so-called Dawes plan. But the
German workers have spoken They are turning
to Communism in Germany as everywhere They
are turning against capitalism and all its lackeys.
The seed of the martyrs Liebknecht, Luxembourg
and thousands of Others is beginning to bear fruit
New millions in Germany rally to the Red Flag
of the workers. and farmers victory and the
thunder of their marching footsteps is heard
around the world.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-05-09

The convention of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union, at Boston, Mass, did
not open with prayer. But President Morris Sig
man took the first opportunity that presented
itself to thank God for the intelligence given the
General Executive Board of the Union in fighting
the militants in the union.
At about the same time we can imagine Abra-
ham Cahan editor of the Jewish Daily (Socialist)
Forward, throwing out his chest and accepting
Sigman's thanks, with his usual gusto.
+ For Sigman's Jehovah is a living god with
offices at 175 E. Broadway, New York City, whose
sole purpose in seeking domination over the Jewish
unions, is to use them weapon in making war
upon the Communists. Cahan's stronghold is in
''The International" and his main policy is that
put into effect by the Sigman administration,
'expel the members of the Trade Union Educa-
tional League"
The hand of this God got in its work in the effort
to unseat the four regularly elected delegates of
Local One, New York City. Sigman tried to rail
road the unseating thru without debate but the
delegates forced the discussion. They have shown
that they have something to say This will become
more apparent as the convention proceeds. If the
delegates take control of the convention away from
the officials, then there is hope for the immediate
future of the union. If the dead hand of "God'
Cahan continues to have it's whitening effect upon
the organization, then there are dark days indeed
ahead. The control of ''The International" must
be taken out of the hands of God and placed in the
hands of the whole membership of the union, EN-
bracing all needle workers who seek their rghtful
place in the organization.

slider 1.-THE Ragged Trousered Philan-

the best stories the DAILY WORKER

humor, while at the same time por-
traying the darker side of the work

Monies are so easily understood and
at the same time amusing.

friends for the paper, and it will APP

Oregon and Wisconsin. The fact that
there is movement developing in the
State of Wisconsin, the home of Re-
publican LaFollette progressivism, is
most significant. Evidently the work
ers and farmers of Wisconsin are not
satisfied with the band of political
action that they are getting from the
LaFollette Republican Party in Wis
consin and are ready for the forma-
ton of a FarmerLabor Party to fight
their political battles.
In the State of Colorado, the Farm
er-Labor Party formerly affiliated with
the Farmer-Labor Party of Fitzpatrick
and Brown, has broken away from the
parent organization and pledged itself
to send delegates to the June 18th
Convention. A similar movement
exists within the Farmer-Labor Party
of Indiana which is still functioning
as a part of the old Farmer-Labor
Party. In West Virginia there is a
strong group in the Farmer-Labor
Party which is urging affiliation with
the National Farmer-Labor Party St.
Paul group.
Permanent Capitalization.
The fact that in some twenty states
Farmer-Labor parties are already in
existence or in the process Of build
ing, indicates the sweep of the move
ment for independent political action,
and gives promise of permanent crys-
utilization of the Farmer-Labor move
ment in strongly knit, well organ
lied Farmer-Labor Party.
1t is not sufficient that there should
be loose coalition of all kinds of
groups who are opposed to the old
political parties in the st. Paul Con-
vention. What is needed in the United
States today is a political party rep
resenting the class interests of the
farmers and industrial workers which
shall not only fight their battles in
the election campaign but which will
function all the year round as a po-
litical organization carrying on con-
tinuous struggle in the interests of
the exploited farmers and the indus
trial workers.
The organizations already built and
those in the process of building give
promise of the formation of such a
party at the st. Paul Convention.
Such closely knit fighting organiza-
ton of workers and farmers will be
real achievement for the American
labor movement.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-05-09

the work of building a solid Or
ganizational structure for the
national organization which
will be formed as a result of the
June 18th Convention is under
way in many states.
A great national convention at St.
Paul would be splendid. thing from
an agitational standpoint, but unless
this convention was supported by
state and local organizations turnout
the whole United States, it would not
be able to accomplish great deal in
carrying on the fight of the workers
and farmers politically. The effect Of
such convention, if not followed by
concrete organizational work, would
soon disappear. The significance
about the June 18th Convention is not
only that it is arousing a nationwide
interest and delegates are being Sc
lected to attend this convention from
all parts of the country. but that in
many states organizations are being

dalton for the national organization
which will be formed at st. Paul.
Six State Parties Behind ST. Paul.
The st. Paul Convention was called
in the name of six existing state
Farmer-Labor parties. These are the
state Farmer-labor parties in Minne-
sofa. North Dakota, South Dakota,
Nebraska, Montana and Washington.
All of these parties have been in ex-
istence for some considerable time.
They are not entirely new growths.
In Minnesota, Washington, Nebraska
and South Dakota, the Farmer-Labor
Party, or in Nebraska, the Progressive
Party, have been in existence thru
several political campaigns and have
polled large votes in these campaigns.
The parties in North Dakota and Mon
tana are Of later origin but they have
substantial backing and are firmly
rooted in the political life of those
states. The st. Paul Convention and
