Cheers and enthusiasm greeted
the announcement Of c. E. Ruthen-
berg, executive secretary of the
Workers Party, made at Wicker
Park Hall, that the Communists
would have their own presidential
ticket In the fall elections.
The solidarity Of the party MEM
bership behind William z. Foster,
candidate for president, and BenIa-
min Gltlow, for vice president, was
again manifested by the shouts Of
enthusiasm which greeted the state
ment Of Edgar Owens, Detroit dis
trict organizer, that:
"our program and our standard
bearers will make our task very
easy. With such a program and
such a ticket we will not have to
explain that we are a Communist
Party"
But when Charles krumbein, the
chairman, made his collection APP
peal, tne audience Wnicn packed tno
hall had a chance to demonstrate
that their cheers for the Workers
Party and for the newly nominated
Communist candidates were genu-
Inc expressions Of deep felt enthu-

Foster, after promising his utmost
efforts to make. the first national
election campaign Of the Workers
Party success, declared this cleo
ton campaign the most significant
Of recent years.
zone important difference In this
campaign Is that there are three big
parties instead Of two" said Foster.
"Many Of the farmers and workers
are following the false leader, La
Toilette. He is a false leader, rep

that masses Of workers have taken
a step to the left and deserted the

Foster said, amid stormy applause.

tons with its own candidates, to
bring the Communist message
home to the workers and ex-
plotted farmers of America.
Feels Revolutionary Enthusiasm.
The writer has witnessed many
Workers Party meetings that were
better attended, but not since the
days when the revolutionary workers
of America were aroused by the vic
torious Russian revolution has he seen
a meeting that showed by its action
not alone that it was thrilled with the
prospect Of making a straight fight
in the coming elections, but that also
gave a practical demonstration of it's
enthusiasm when the collection was
taken up. After all that is the real
test of whether an audience is behind
the purpose for which the meeting is
called or not. Over $500 in cash and
pledges we're taken when Comrade
Charles Krumbein, district organizer
for New York, appealed for funds.
Not alone did the audience cheer for
the overthrow of capitalism, the So
Wet Republic and the dictatorship Of
the proletariat, but they showed a de-
termination to back up their beliefs
with hard work and the sinews of war.
Labor Party Idea Betrayed.
1.-THE Labor Party movement was
betrayed by the Conference for Pro-
gressive Political Action" declared
Ruthenberg in the keynote speech.
But the Workers Party had no part
in the betrayal.
1.-THE Workers Party has carried on
an energetic campaign to bring the
exploited workers and farmers togeth-
er for joint political action in a class
farmer-labor party. This effort has
been sabotaged by the labor takers,

SINCLAIR OIL
SMEARED over

Record in Java Field
Uncovered by Dutch
10y The Federated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., July II.
Sinclair oil interests were
jealousy safeguarded by Secre-
tary of State Colby and by Sec
rotary of State Hughes, when
the exploitation of the rich new
! oil field Of Djambi, in Java, was
planned by a big syndicate
known as the Bataafsche, early
in 1921, as shown by a series Of
notes between William Phillips,
then minister to the Neither
lands, and DR.. n. A. van Karne-
beck, foreign minister to Queen
WiIheImina. These notes have
been published in Senate Docu-
ment No. 81, 9th Congress, first
session.
How the pressure was applied
is illustrated by this note sent by
Phillips to Van Karnebeek on
April rs, 1921:
II have the honor to inform
Your Excellency that have just
received a further telegraphic
instruction from the Secretary
of State advising me that in
view of the wide publicity which
the matter of the Djambi con-
cession is receiving in the United
States, the practical exclusion of
American interests from the
Dutch oil industry would create
an unfavorable impression and
a situation of general discour-
agement to prospective Amer
lean participants in other
branches of Dutch industry"
Couldn't Stall Oil Secretary.
Van Karnebeek, in reply, assured
Phillips that the Djambi concession
was the only one from which foreign
interests were to be in any way dis
couraged; there were other rich fields
in the Dutch East Indies to which
American capitalists would be well
come.
Answering this excuse, on May IL,

MOSCOW, July 1.-THE exc

Gus Importance in key countries
which may fall into line with Soviet
Russia by setting up workers and

At a conference of capmakers'
union officials with the Whole

The demand that employers be not

acceptance of the agreement.

The last concession which union

New York. Oct. 1.-Two alleged bandits had to be rescued by the police early today from the attacks of 80 men and women victims of their attempted holdup of raths- keller in East Eighty-sixth street, Three other hpldup men escaped when their victims turned the tables on them.
 When patrolmen on their nearby posts heard whistles they ran to the rathskeller prepared to rout the robbers. After they had broken down a door and entered the place they found themselves confronting the unusual situation of rescuing the alleged bandits from the infuriated victims.
 The five men, according to the pa- irons, entered the rathskeller and pretended to threaten the patrons with revolvers in their coat pockets.
 After several of the patrons had been searched and robbed, one of the victims was convinced that the bandits were unarmed. He threw himself at one of them. Soon the intruders wet set upon by all their victims, including members of the rathskeller orchestra. Three of the alleged bandits escaped during the melee.
 The two prisoners described them selves as Frank Hayes, of Astoria N. T., and Frank Thompson, of Manhattan. The police said they found in the possession of D, Hayes $115 and jewelry which men and women in the place charged had Eeen taken from them.
