FREEDOM FOR
FLIP OS is
FRISCO DEMAND
Big Mass Meeting Will
Be Held in New York

AT the enthusiastic mass meet
ing Of workingmen IN San Francisco
a strong demand was voiced for
Wall Street getting out of the Phil
ippines. The meeting, held under
the auspices Of the local Workers
Party, was addressed by Commun-
list and Filipino speakers and
strongly denounced the Republican
and Democratic parties for their
policy towards the Filipino people.
Special commentator Of the Work
ers Party activities in behalf of Fill
Pine freedom from American inn
perialists was voiced at the mass
rally which adopted the following
resolution:
whereas. the Congress Of the United States,
by an almost unanimous vote Of its members.
representing the Republican and Democratic
parties, passed on August 20, 1915, the Jones
Act declaring It to be the purpose Of the
people Of the United States 70 withdraw their
sovereignty over the Philippine Islands and
to recognize their Independence a. soon as a
stable government can be established there
in and
Whereas, this was a clear and definite
promise on the part Of cur government to
grant the Filipinos their freedom soon a.
such stable government should have been
established; and
Whereas, such government has been
established in the Philippines for many years,
as testified TO BY their former Governor-Gen-
eral. Francis Burton Harrison, in his book
entitled 1.-THE Cornerstone Of Philippine indie
pendenee', and as Is quite evident to any
impartial observer Of the Islands; and
Whereas, the workers Of the United States
are opposed to the impeFialistie schemes Of
the present GovernOr-General, Major-General
Leonard Wood, who Is repaying the millionaire
hackers Of his campaign for the Presidency Of
the U. S. in 1920 by handing over to that
same frOup Of American explOiters the de-
velOpment Of the enormous natural resources
and the industries Of the Philippines; and
Whereas, there Is now pending in Congress
a bill TO grant the Filipinos their immediate
freedom from American rule: as an indepen-
dent nation;
Therefore, be Il resolved, that this mass
meeting Of American and Filipino workers
and citizens demand that the government Of
this country fulfill its solemn promise and

from this state to support unreservedly the
granting of immediate independence to the

tion be sent to the press and the Congress

DEFY INJUNCTION,
PICKET and WIN,
SWADECK URGES
Workers Party Speaker
Addresses Strikers

defy the injunction: Picket and
Win the Strikel'
This was the message Of Arne
Swabeck district organizer Of the
Workers Party to the regular meet
ing of the garment strikers at $50
w. Washington street.
Swabeck hailed the victory Of the
garment strikers of Boston and told
the strikers that the sweatshop bosses
of Chicago could be brought to their
knees by militant tactics.
Double Picketing Monday.
Victory will be won, cried the
speaker, by keeping the picket lines
strong. Picketing must be doubly
strong Monday morning.
The strike is not just the fight Of
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union. 1t is the fight of
the entire labor movement of Chi
cago. Every sincere union man, of
whatever craft, should go out on the
picket line and aid in the gallant
struggle that the garment strikers
are waging, Swabeck urged. Ap-
plause came from the strikers who
have been welcoming the support
radical union men from other trades
have been giving their fight.
Girls who have been keeping the
picket lines filled cheered while he
poured out his scorn on Judge "Den-
ME" Sullivan and his injunction.
Judge Sullivan thinks that the
streets belong to the Bosses" said
Swabeck. "The strikers know that
they belong to the people and they
are going to continue to walk the
streets in spite of him"
Old Party Politicians.
The Workers Party speaker point
ed out the political significance of
the strike. The mayor whose po-
licemen are beating up pickets is an
old party politician. The labor"
alderman who refuses to raise his
voice at the city council is also an
o 4 party politician. Until the work
ers elect their own representatives
on a farmers and workers party
ticket they will continue to be be-
trayed.
A workers government would put
all the private sluggers and labor
pounding policemen off the strike
district and put in strikers who were
deputized to preserve order, he said
eAd these workers would see that the
'suggers" stopped smuggling.
ON TO THE PICKET LINEl was
his appeal at closing.

accumulating evils, 1t is evident at
the present day, what a terrible
price in life, health and comfort
must have been paid by the workers
Of Chicago, in order to allow the
private real estate concerns to in
crease their profits.
Paving Alleys-Some Remedy
Charles Ball, we'll known lee
turer and writer upon housing con-
ditions in this city, who is chief
in the sanitation bureau Of the
Department Of Health, said to The
DAILY WORKER yesterday: "In
the last quarter of a century, all
that we have done to eliminate
Chicago's housing evils has been to
clean UP and pave few alleys" Mr..
Ball is daily in touch with housing
conditions in Chicago. Every day
he receives reports from his sani-
tary inspectors from all over the
city, besides making numerous tours
of inspection himself. Mr.. Ball
says: "The conditions reported
twenty-four years ago by the City
Homes Association are in existence
today in a greatly multiplied and
more acute form. No great number
Of unfit houses have been torn
down; the city has built no apart
ments or made no effort to elimin-
ate even the worst slunls. / be-
lieve that the worst obstacle to bet
ter housing facilities is the Grim.
inal way we have allowed private
interests to entirely control the
city's building and housing pro-
gram"
In a quarter Of century Of man.
aging the city's affairs, all that the
municipal authorities have to show
in the way Of improvement, is the
paving of few alleys, as against
the indescribably dangerous and un-
healthful way workers Of the city
are forced to live.

No High Wages for
Workers in Next War
MiLitdriSt States

SAN FRANCISCO, March 3d.
Brigadier General H. S. Wolfe of
New York, a finance reserve officer
addressing the reserve officers of the
Ninth Army Corps area declared that
in the next war, the big industrial es-
Establishments of the United States
would cooperate with the govern
ment in seeing that the workers who
remained in the factories would not
draw high wages while others re-
ceived army wages.
OF course the general did not state
that the industrial magnates would
not be allowed any profit on the COM
modities produced for war purposes,
the sacrifices would be made by the
workers.
eve desire to organize the indus
tries Of the countries so that we will
be able to mobolize them as the man
power of the country is being mobi-
lized," said General Wolfe. Thus we
have our rulers preparing for the
next holocaust and cold bloodedly
planning the most effective methods
Of sending the workers to their doom
at the least possible cost.

National Defense
Committee Appeals
For Assistance

To the DAILY WORKER: A mis-
taken impression is being spread that
all political prisoners have been
freed and that consequently there is
no further need for defense and re-
lief work. That defense is still
matter of vital interest to all
workers can be shown from the fact
that the National Defense Commit
tee alone is defending seventy work
ers who are facing deportation.
Our most recent case is that of
Judah L. Cooper who was arrested
on February 3rd at Bayonne, N. j. at
a Soviet Russia Recognition meeting
by two professional spies and was
indicted under the Federal Cor
spiracy Act. 1t is all right for bank
ers, business men and congressman
to ask for recognition of Soviet Rus
STA when the recognition means bust
ness, but it is crime for a worker
to voice his sympathy and ask for
support of the Workers Govern
ment. This is another example of
American justice.
These men have participated ac-
lively in the labor movement and it
is due to their activities that they
are being prosecuted. This, there
fore, is your fight and you must help.
You are urged to make an out
right donation to the National De-
Tense Committee, or to contribute
some articles for the Third Annual
international Bazaar which will take
place April 10th thru 18th at Cen.
