chance to get them.
A week before the California
primary was held, the President
astonished the press correspon-
dents by telling them that he
favored exclusion" and not
regulation" Of Asiatic immigra-
ton.
The word exclusion" is enthusiasm
among the race-emotional element on
the Pacific slope. Coolidge was as
radically anti-Japanese as Hiram
himself! And the voters went to the
Republican primary and gave the
President a majority over Hiram,
their clay-footed idol.
But on the day after the Coolidge
victory in California was assured, the
White House politician reversed him
self and forced the House and SEN
ate conferees to discard a report on
the immigration bill which they had
already agreed upon and made public,
and substitute for it plea to Cool
idge himself to negotiate a treaty
with Japan, dealing with immigration
into America. Sen. Robinson, minori-
ty leader, denouncing this surrender
Of the principle that immigration con-
troll is purely domestic legislative
function, did not fail to point out that
Coolidge had prefaced the trick by
betrayal Of the trust Of the voters of
California.
Sam Shortridge, the hard-boiled
senator from the Golden state, was
He is the loudest cham
pion of exclusion and he served mo-
tice that he would raise point of or
der against the treaty phase of the
bill unless the conferees
should meantime cut it out Of the
measure. Half dozen democrats, as
sisted by Borah, took occasion to
point out that the House and Senate's
to the conferees on this
Japanese business had been directly
by the Coolidge scheme; that
it was a defiance by the executive of
the acknowledged legislative right of
Congress-; that if we let Japan force
us to negotiate treaty dealing with
an immigration issue, then we must
expect Italy to threaten us until we
yielded to her also. American indie
pendence was involved and Congress
must refuse to accept foreign dicta-
ton, even If Coolidge gave orders and
Secretary Hughes threatened to re-
sign, just before the presidential cam
paign, in protest.
LET Hughes get out" was Short
ridges challenge.

PARTY BUILDING
IN LADELPHIA
Unions Issue Call For A
May ~ Conference

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May ia
call for a Farmer-Labor party confer
ence, to be held May q, s p. M, at
Machinists' temple, was issued last
night to ell working class organiza-
tons of this city.
The call vas issued in the name of
several local labor unions affiliated
with the A. F. of L., by an arrange
ments committee consisting of repre-
sentatives of these unions.
Brother Adolph B. Gersch of Paint
ers' Local No. 1888 was elected chair
man Of the arrangements committee,
and Brother H. o. McLurg of Paper
hangers Local No. 5S7 is the secre-
tary.
The fact that the initiative for the
organization of Labor party in Phil
adelphia comes from the rank and file
of labor unions is a guaranty in itself
that the new Farmer-Labor party
which will be organized at the May
27 conference will become a real pow
er in the hands of organized labor
of this city. Attempts to organize Ia
Dor parties in this city have failed in
the past mainly because of the fact
that it was movement of individuals
rather than Of the masses of the
unions.
The arrangements committee ex-
poets to make the May q conference
the biggest gathering ever held by
organized labor in this city.
The call follows:

AMALCAMATED
OPENS BIENNIAL
CONFAB TODAY
Especial to The Daily w0rker)


PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-THE
June II Farmer-Labor party conven-
ton will be one Of the issues in the
sixth biennial convention of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers, which
opens tomorrow morning in Wither-
spoon hall, Walnut and Juniper
streets, at 10 o'clock.
Delegates from Chicago, New York,
Cleveland, Rochester, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and other centers of the
mems clothing industry will represent
the 100000 members Of this big needle
trades union.
Unionlzing of Philadelphia.
Philadelphia has been aptly chosen
as the convention city. Campaign
plans OF the union call for 100 per
cent organization here by next year.
In the language Of the huge signs
which welcome the delegates to With
erspoon hall: PHILADELPHIA, AN
AMALGAMATED MARKET BY 1926"
Leading spirits of the union are con-
fident that the convention city will be
as effectively organized then as are
Chicago and New York.
Several big achievements can be
pointed to as the delegates open their
sessions:
Wage Reductions Prevented.
The union has held its forces to-
gether well during the last year. In
spite of the fact that the industry is
not nourishing as we'll as last year,
wage reductions have been prevented.
This was notably illustrated THE
spring in Chicago, where the big en-
ployers tried TO insist on reductions.
Union negotiators, backed by the eco
nomic strength Of their organization,
refused to consider any reductions,
pointing to the unusually high profits
made last year.
The putting into effect Of the en-
ploy1nent insurance plan by which I'M
employed workers get 40 per cent OF
their wages. Is another achievement
pointed TO by the union.

the Executive Board of his union on
a program advocating the shop dele
gates League and freedom of opinion
in the organizations.
During the discussion it was def.
nitely proven that in issuing the or
der against the leagues the General
Executive Board did not care about
league connections but aimed to
eliminate all elements in the union
who opposed the policies of the
present administration and advocated
policies which are against the inter-
ests Of the offcialdom. This was
clearly demonstrated in the closing
remarks of THE chairman.

tanned the platform under which
Chasanov was elected as delegate to
the convention which in brief called
upon members of the local to elect
only progressive candidates who ad-
vocated amaIgamation, Labor Party,

labor party, the merging of locals,
and pledged themselves to fight
against the. order of the General Elk
ecutive Board that members of the
International must withdraw from the
league, he concluded that since four
delegates had been unseated on the
previous day for advocating a similar
program, and since this was the pro-
gram of the league, the convention
should also unseat Brother Chasanov.
The recommendation was accepted by

Strike As Effective as Ever.
At the Saturday strike meeting, the
men each gave in their names and
occupations to the secretary, and il
was found by accurate count, that the
strike is as effective as when it start
ed. The men thus learned definitely
that all rumors that there had been
decision to return to work were
spread by unreliable men ike "Pull
man John" and "Seven-eighths."
A man from the tinshop who has
been attending the strike meetings
regularly, reported that has learn
ed that there is absolutely no produc,
ton in the plant. The few scabs have
made only a bare pretense of work
ing. He declared that the men have
been sleeping inside the shop, afraid
to show their faces to the strikers
The strikers have instructed their
lawyer to notify the board of health
as they believe the Pullman Company
to be violating the sanitary code.
David Benta11, the strike lawyer, to
day sent President Carry a letter ask
ing for the return of transportation
money for his clients, who now mum
Der over half a hundred. These men
were done out of several days pay
and transportation money by the lies
of the Pullman Company.
Business Men Show coIors.
Strikers yesterday informed the
DAILY WORKER that the Cut-rate
Army Store, 1893 South Michigan
Ave-. has been aiding the Pullman
Company and siding against the strik
ers. The carbuilders are asking all
the Pullman employees to boycott this
store.
A wife of one of the strikers told
the DAILY WORKER that she over
heard the store owner say, "The Pull
man Company was justified in reduc-
ing the wages Of the men. The men
ought to go back to work"
Some Of the strikers are highly in,
censed at this statement, as they have
been literally patronizins this army
store. They declare they will go else
where in the future.
Another prominent business firm
which has been talking against the
strikers, is John M. Gibbons and Com.
