which he had taken keep his family from starving.
Bajur shot Sunday by railroad gunman named
Dewey Norman The killing peculiarly atrocous. Wit

Yesterday inquest into the of Baur's death

who said the American Legion wanted to testify.
Can corporation gunman shoot starving worker
without warning then investigation thru the aid
of the American Legion?
Is membership in the American Legion license to
nit murder with impunity-so long the victim is friend
less worker? What about it, workers of Chicago?

The reporter got in bad by stat
ing that Harrington had climbed
aboard the Lewis bandwagon,"
and by ridiculing Farrington's
alliance with Governor Small.
Harrington has been buying the
DAILY WORKER every day from Kit
ty Harris, as have two-thirds Of the
other delegates. When one delegate
heard Farrington's attack on the
DAILY WORKER, he said: "If the
DAILY WORKER representatives get
thrown out OF the convention, there
will be lot of other delegates thrown
out with them. | am not Communist,
but like your paper"
At the Friday morning session of
the convention, Harrington declared,
1--WE have a paper being distributed
TO the delegates that is not telling the
truth. IL has assumed the authority OF
branding me as the most despised man
at the convention. IL prints scandal

staff Writer Tells HOw
Sigman Won In Boston
BY REBECcA GREcHT
Especial to The Daily Worker)


BOSTON.-(By MaiI).-The
expulsion policy of the Sigman
dictatorship triumphed for the
time being when the convention
of the international Ladies' Car
ment Workers Union defeated
resolutions demanding the I'M
conditional reinstatement of all
expelled members and the cessa-
ton of persecution of the mill
tants. The vote was taken after
the official steam roller cut short
all discussion of the issues in
volved, refusing delegates the
right to explain the principles of
the Trade Union Educational
League which was under fire.
Nevertheless the fight for more
efficient unionism and more
revolutionary conduct of the
class struggle which the T. U.
e. l.. is organizing will go on.
The approval of Sigman's red-bait-
ing policy came at the close of the re-
port of the Committee on Officers
Reports on the so-called left hys-
terra in our union" This report
charged the progressives with deliber-
ately disorganizing the locals, with
carrying on malicious campaigns of
SANDER against the officials, and with
belonging to a dual union, the Trade
Union Educational League, which was
viciously attacked as an outside
agency seeking to disrupt the Inter-
national
Resolutions from numerous local
unions were read demanding in no un-
certain terms that expelled members
be reinstated, and that freedom of
belief be tolerated in the organiza-
ton. The committee recommended
that these resolutions be not concur
ed in, and that the report be accept
ed.
Saroff Defends Expelled.
Delegate Saroff was then given the
floor in defense of the militants. At
lacking the policies of the Interna-
tional officialdom as responsible for
the present chaos in the industry, he
charged that the Sigman machine was
driving out of the union all the ele-
ments who had truly constructive
program for building up and strength
ening the organization.
Saroff denied that the league was
dual union as it had never usurped
the functions of a union. He explain
ed the principle of amalgamation for
which the militants were battling,
claiming that this had aroused the
bitter opposition of the officials only
because it threatened their well-paid
jobs. The International, he empha-
sized, did not object to politics in the
union for it permitted Abe Cahan, an
outsider representing the socialist
party, to dictate its policies. The real
objection was against those who prop
agated principles in any way opposed
to those sanctioned by the Interna-
tional
When he demanded whether agita-
ton for independent political action
could be regarded as disrupting the
union, sneering comments were heard
from all those who had been loudest
in applaudiEg the administrations pol
icy, and first in calling previous ques-
ton to choke off discussion of the pro-
gressives' position.

INQUEST over
FINK'S VICTIM
.ISPOSTPONED
Murdered Man Stole
Handful of Potatoes

The American Legion is hold
ing up the inquest over the body
of John Bajur, a., who was shot
and killed Saturday by Detective
Dewey Norman, of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail-
road, for the theft of handful
of rotten potatoes.
The inquest, which was to be
held yesterday morning, was
postponed until Friday on re-
ceipt of letter from Lawrence
Packwood, 1926 Stony Island
ave-, asking that the Legion be
permitted to appear in defense
of Norman.
The letter attempts no Justification
for its action, and no reason for its
stand can be found excepting that
Norman is apparently Legionaire.
Evidence of eye-witnesses indicates
that the shooting of Bajur was a cold
blooded murder. Martin Nalas, $40
May street, was present when the
shots were fired.
Il was just passing by the yards"
Nalas told a DAILY WORKER re
porter, when l noticed a man who
was carrying a few potatoes in his
hands. AS he was passing the door
way Of the yards Office, a detective
sprang out Without word he fred
three shots at the man with the po-
tatoes, am sure that he gave !. n q.
signal and no command"
Stole Potatoes to Live.
Bajur, who is Polish by birth, had
been employed irregularly as sawyer
at the Chicago Mill and Lumber Co.
His wages seldom amounted to more
than S24 a week, and his family, con-
sisting of a wife and two children,
found it impossible to live in their
three tiny rooms at S36 N. Racine ave
nue., without taking in a number of
boarders. For some time Bajur has
been working only a few hours a
day; he has been unable to protect
himself thru union action, since the
Chicago Mill and Lumber Co. makes
it point of honor to fire any en-
ployee affiliated with a labor organ
ization.
A son of is, Adam, has been out
Of work for many weeks. Bajur's
other child is a girl of Is, Of stunted
growth, with the drawn cheeks and
compressed lips that tell of years Of
hunger and cold. She said that neigh
bors had often come in with stories
of the vegetables that could be picked
up in the yards.
Norman is being held at the Des-
PLANES street police station, pending
the inquest.

London, F-o. Is .. Great Bmain
awoke this morning 10 the reality Of the
dock strike when certain morning news
papers |apologized for their reduced
size on the plea that the reduction
was made in order 20 conserve
paD5r. The confident announcement IS
made this morning in seml-othcIal cir
cles that there will not be any shortage
of fO0dstuifs for some GAYS to come,
and this. it is expected, will check any
widespread movement to hoard, al
though shop keepers are already retus-
ING 10 sell large quantities Of staples.
Meat prices, however, are already
slightly advanced in some district and
these are likely to show the first general
increase of foods before the end OF the
nresent week. With the exception Of
the little group that believes that all
J9bour troubles in Great Britain origin
ate and are directed from Moscow, there
Is little perturbation over the strike, and
looks as if there was a large body Of pu6-
Inc cpinion that is in sympathy with the
Efforts OF the lockers to obtain conces-
siors. remembering the revelations with
regard to living conditions of a similar
class Of workers that We're made during
the inouirv which resulted IN Lord
Shaw's report. There is a general feel
mo nj confidence that the LIOour GOV
N will not allow a real crIsIS to
arise. Mr.. MIcdonald's direct lnterven-
ton through the appointment OF a court
of inquiry, is expected today. 1t is pom

ACTIVE TRADING ! MARKS COTTON
 DURING WEEK
Fluctuations On Several
 Days Range Above / 100 Points

NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 3.-The cotton market during the past week was characterized by extremely active trading in contracts as we'll as the broadcst sort of price fluctuations, rang ing on several days above 100 points. While the week started out with higher prices, the October position reaching 29.o3 cents on Monday, the highest point touched oa the recent upturn, the tendency from that point on was to- wards reaction. which finally carried October down to 26,T5 cents on Satur- day. or PAS points below the high point of Monday.
 J Trend Is Downward
 While the general trend of prices whs downward during the greater part of the week, there were frequent ral- lies some r!me of very considerable pro- portions, due to protracted drouth in the western part of the belt. Thus on Friday the October position traded up to 2S.6O, only to break to 27 after Sec rotary Hester made public his annual figures of consumption and carry-over. The total consumption of American cotton during the season was given as ii, ,242000 as compared with 12,631,- GOO tha previous scason, shrinkage of 1,3S9,000 bales, which was larger

RECOVERY SEEN IN IRON MARKET
 IN PAST WEEK
Inquiries Increase, And 118 Price Is Sustained,
 Despite RumOrs

Some improvement was noticeable in the iron market last week. Inquiries increased and the scattering of sales gave makers considerable encourage ment- Belief was expressed in author itative quarters that a buying move ment was imminent which would block any further curtailment in production here.
 Despite reports, emanating mostly from northern and eastern points. that Birmingham iron had slumped below SIS. the drop was given no cFedence by lOral industrial heads. One sales execu- tive declared that a close personal cheek throughout the district failed 10 bring out even one transaction below the SIS mark. '
 One more furnace in the district, the city blast of Sheffield, went dark during last week, but this was not en- tirely due to dullness of tEc mari:et. The stack was in need of repairs, of ficials state. and it was thought best to close at this time so that full opera ton can be had when the fall buying starts
 Another encouraging factor in the pig iron situation was a noticeable strength ening of prices throughout the north. In event this continues it is certain to have its reflection here.
 Pittsburg plus remains as the topic of most general interest to industries of the district, not because of its direct effect. but because of results it may

falling off than the trade had been led to expect. As Il result of the small con- sumption, the carry-over proved larger than anticipated, 2,319,000 bales, against 2,513, 900 last year.
 Effect Ts Prompt
 The effect of these statistics on the market was prompt, particularly the small consumption, as the trade became convinced that the world could get along with less cotton than anyone had thought possible only little while back.
 Despite the drouth in the west there is u marked tendency to raise crop es- inmates. A prominent firm during the week issued an estimate based on in- vestigations among conservative spot firms throughout the south of 12.525,- 600 bales, and another prominent local firm later estimated the crop at F, 100000. The factor that seems to most impress the trade is the almost complete absence of reports of weevil damage so far this season.

 One opinion given The Age Herald by an industrial chief is that elimination of the passing at Pittsburg would not attract smaller factories as it did in the case of pig iron because the south is not ready to take the output of these plants. Cost of shipment to the north, even should iron be cheaper, would be a bar to the location of steel-using plants. This man said, however, that within a few years it would probably attract large independent steel pro ducers into the district who would cater to South American trade through the ports of Mobile and New Orleans.
