asylums are being cheated of their
legitimate prey. There is as much
probability that the Grand Duke will
occupy the throne of the Romanoffs
as there is that the Imperial Wizard
of the Ku Klux Khan will be the next
Pope of Rome. That the capitalist
press gives generous space to such
rubbish only proves how very happy
they would be if the monarchists
succeeded in overthrowing the Soviet
Government.
THE election campaign for Interna-
tional officers in the United
Mine Workers Union has started in
Nova Scotia. The overwhelming ma
jority of the locals have nominated a
militant slate in common with the
militant miners of Illinois. In one
local in New Waterford the backward
miners unconsciously played dirty
trick on Gar Lewis by nominating
him for Vice-President. Worse still
the same local nominated Silby Bar
rett for president. Silby Barrett is
celebrated because he is possibly the
only pie card artist in the trade union
movement who is totally illiterate
His knowledge of the English Ian
guage is so extravaganza that he once
declared that the miners of Nova
Scotia were organized 100 per cent"
The manly breast of Gear Lewis must
be swelling with pride at the honor
the most backward miners in Nova
Scotia paid him!

This is not carelessness. The league

Cary B. Lewis. Cary B. Lewis took
the DAILY WORKER reporter in

Motion was careful to return the COM

and white Supremacy" "The white
man is supreme today, not because
he's white, but because he rules in
righteousness. When he is no longer
righteous, God will take from him
his supremacy, and give supremacy
to the black or the yellow race" said
Dr. Motion.

Negro Press Controlled.
The National Negro Press associa-
ton is represented at the league by
the Honorable B. ]. Davis, its presi-
dent. The DAILY WORKER report
er was introduced to writer on a
Negro paper, who had something to
tell of the tactics of the Negro Press
association, most of whose executive
board are to be found also on the
boards of Tuskegee and of the Bust
ness League. This reporter had been
detailed to cover the unwilling of the
monument to Booker T. Washington
at Tuskegee last year. Davis of the
press association made an address
condemning Harding. When the re-
porter wired his story to the Interna-
tional News Service, reference was
made to this address. Melvin ID.

ordered the story killed. Thru an

is his work. He will retire with the
title of General but with a reduction
in pay. His present salary is $19,5O0

hands of DR.. Motion for his contribu-
tions to Tuskegee Institute.
DIR. Motion came to the session after
a dinner with Roscoe Simmons, or
ganizer among Negroes for the repub-
lican party. Roscoe Simmons is prom
inent in the convention of the league.
He is ready to address its sessions
at any time.
But women garment workers of the
Negro race, protesting against the
scabbing of other colored women,
drawn from the Urban league, during
the recent strike of the International
Garment Workers Union, found that
Roscoe Simmons was not available
as a speaker before the meeting at
Unity House, 3140 Indiana Ave-, when
they pleaded with women of the South
Side not to support the Urban league
in its program.
Negroes Should Work Harder.
Oscar A. Priest, welcoming the del

nHILIP SNOWDEN, chancellor OF
1 the British exchequer expresses
ferceful disagreement with the result
of the London conference. Snowden
is not opposed to the Dawes Plan but
he believes that French occupation Of
the Rhur gives the French capitalists
an unfair advantage over the British
capitalists and this the socialist chan
cellor is opposed to. It is interesting
to watch the British socialists step
ping on each others heels trying to
outdo each other in anxiety to help
the capitalists.
THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE grows
/ facetous in discussing the Com
munist election campaign. An edi-
torial entitled 1.-The American Red
Campaign" after stating that Foster
has more contempt for LaFollette,
Mangus Johnson, and the petty bour-
geois elements represented in that
movement now dictated to by the
Wisconsin senator than he has for
Coolidge and Dawes, makes the
rather intelligent observation that
Foster and Coolidge are the only two
candidates who stand on a record Of
accomplishments. There is a big
grain of truth in that statement.
Foster is the choAsn spokesman Of
oIx Capfinn IF tho
American working class, because he
has proven by deeds as well as by
words that he is a worthy representa-
tive of revolutionary labor. In fact
he is everything that Coolidge is not
to the workers.
lCOOLIDGE. on the other hand is a
~ class conscious supporter Of cap
italism and his record shines with
deeds that bring smiles in Wall
Street. Coolidge points to the pres
ent condition Of American capitalism,
as a measure by which the Republi-
can ticket must be judged. When
pointing in that direction let us hope
for the little mans sake that the Vot-
ers don't see Fall, DENLY, Daugherty
and the rest of the grafters. "Mr.
Foster has the achievements Of the
Soviets in Russia back of him." Yes,
and a mighty achievement it is, which
every revolutionary worker in the
world is proud of. And if there was
some work for the undertaken in Rus
STA, after the >Soviets took over the
Government, it is possible the under
taker was not put on the job in time.
The workers will mourn less over the
few thousand Czarists who lost their
useless lives in Russia than for the
millinos of Russian workers and
peasants who lost their lives under
the Little Father.

"Ruthenberg Appeal Coupons.
The Labor Defense Council is issu.

novel method is it expected to meet
the extraordinary expenses in con-
nection with the appeal of C. f.
Ruthenberg, executive secretary OF
the Workers Party, whose case is
to come up for review before the
Michigan Supreme Court during the
Spring session.
The coupons are printed in per-
forated sections, illustrated with a
striking drawing by Fred Ellis, well
known labor artist and cartoonist.
They sell for 10c, 25c, SOC and 81.
Comrades who have taken sheets
OF these coupons to sell, say it is
extremely easy to dispose of them,

The workers recall how he organ

Antonio l. Villareal. How Carranza
removed Villareal, dissolved the

How he escaped and returned that

of them to go out into the hills
with him. That was the beginning
of the revolution in Yueatan which

Soon there will be legends.
Jailed By Landlords.
When the present rebellion broke
out in Vera Cruz, the big land own
ers of Yucatan bought the COM
mander of the local garrison and inn
prisoned Carrillo. The finance COM
missioner of Yucatan, Manero, es-
capped with the government funds to

whatever recourses and arguments
could be humanity employed to secure
the liberty Of Felipe Carrillo >
But the big land owners of Yucatan
thought the blood of this hated man
who symholized the slow but inevi-
table socialization of their land, was
worth any price, so they murdered
him.
Governor Carrillo was about to be
married, when the rebellion broke
out to Miss Alma Reed, California
author and liberal. She had saved
some Mexican prisoners under 21
years of age from the death penalty
in California. The Mexican govern
ment had sent her a gold medallion
and invited her to be the guest of
the nation. 1t was on her trip as
the nations guest that she met Car
rillo.
Revolution Will Continue.
The land owners of Yucatan arc
mistaken if they believe they can
end the revolutionary movement
there by shooting him. The Maya
Indians of the peninsula have never
been subjugated. Until CarrillO
there has been no real peace there
since the Spaniards first landed
and tried to root out the primi-
tive communist of the Mayas. Even
Diaz never had it thoroughly sub
jugated. MaderO left it alone.
Against Huerta and Carranza it
was in open rebellion. The Mayas
will fight, until they have found
new leader of the genius of Fe-
lipe CarrillO.
The whole nation is prepared to
acknowledge his greatness now that
he is dead. From the presidential
palace comes the following tribute;
"The assassination of Felipe Car
rillo brings sorrow into the homes
of the proletariat. /. Don Adolfo
de la Huerta will understand the
of his crime when he re-
ceives the burning protests that the
proletariat of the entire world will
direct against him for the assassina-
ton of Felipe Carrillo. The gener-
Gus blood of Felipe Carrillo is the
testimony of the apostasy of Don
Adolfo de la Huerta."
