MAYOR OPPOSES
SPEECH FREEDOM
FOR COMMUNISTS
Party Will Put Up Fight
at Chester, Pa.

CHESTER, Pa, Sept. 1O.-An in
teresting free speech fight is now
taking place in this city of the open
shoppers and Ku Klux Khan. The
Workers Party recently held an open
air election campaign meeting which
attracted an audience of several hun
bred workers, it was the biggest and
most interesting political gathering
ever held in Chester.
Find Attentive Listeners.
For two hours the audience at
tentively listened to the explana-
ton of the Workers Party platform
given by the speakers. A Klanite was
right there trying to advertise a picnic
arranged by his hooded order. He did
not like the speeches very well and
made an attempt to interfere. He was
told politely by those closest to him
to shut up or else leave the place al
together, which he did.
The local comrades were surprised,
however, to find out that an appli-
cation for a permit to hold another
campaign meeting was fatty turned
down by the mayor on the grounds
that "the speeches made at the first
meeting were of seditious char
acter." The Chester workers now
have the best opportunity to see for
themselves that the Workers Party
speakers were right when they pointed
out that the American democracy is
really an iron dictatorship of the
ruling class.
Seek Party Recruits.
The matter is now in the hands of
well-known attorney who will take
legal action against the mayor if he
does not change his mind about al
lowing the Workers Party to come be-
fore the workers of Chester in order
to explain the present campaign is
sues.
The Chester Local of the Workers
Party appeals to all workers of the
city to answer the mayors action by
joining the Party and help carry on
the fight for the establishment of a
workers and farmers government in
this country The address of the local
headquarters is-731 Caldwell st.
Chester, Pa, Plans Picnic.
CHESTER, Pa, Sept. 10.-Extensive
preparations are being made for the
picnic arranged by Chester Local
Workers Party for the coming Sun
day, Sept IA, at Browns Farm, Ninth
and Central Ave. A good time and
plenty of fresh air is assured Re-
freshments, dancing, plays. Every
body invited. Those who come from
Philadelphia, should take the car to
Darby and there take the Wilmington
car.

said, describing arbitration as a
system of watching for war
clouds to appear and charming
them out of existence before
they became threatening.
War Clouds Gather.
Meanwhile the clouds which
threaten war are gathering about the
approaching trade negotiations be-
tween France and Germany. England
is jealousy fearing that too friendly
an agreement would injure British
markets or result in powerful rival
steel combine on the continent. E. L.
James in the New York Times de-
clares, 1T has long been said by ex-
perts that an efficient business union
of the French ore and German coal in
! terests would make possible the
worlds greatest steel combination.
England has never looked with favor
on that project"
French Talk Differently.
The big French steel interests talk
different language. According to
Robert Pinot, director Comite des
FORCES, interviewed by the Wall
Street Journal: There can be no real
peace as long as economic warfare
continues. The ideal solution would
be world iron and steel settlement
which would secure to the industry in
each country the necessary raw ma
terial, apportion markets and deter
mine prices. Such a world combine
would satisfy the interests of both
French and German iron and steel in
dustries. 1t would determine the
division of European markets and ap-
portion shares in foreign ones" Pinot
believes a Franco-German treaty be-
tween steelmakers should parallel the
Dawes settlement
1t is reported that England might
use Frances financial obligations to
her as club to prevent too close an
agreement along the line suggested by
Pinot. British coal miners are said
to be protesting against the further
delivery of German coal to France
under the Dawes plan on the ground
that the English coal industry suf-
fers. Belgian miners are out of work
and facing a severe wage cut because
of the competition of German repara-
tions coal
Shows War Basis.
Walter Graham, a consulting engi.
neer, prepared a table for the New
York Times which showed the causes
of future wars. 1t showed the princi.
pal coal fields of the world located in
the United States, Great Britain, Ger
many and eastern Asia with such
countries at France, Belgium, Italy
and Japan watching them with en-
vious eyes. 1t showed the United
States in need of the iron ore of New.
foundland, Cuba, Brazil and Chile;
the German steel interests eager to
grasp the iron ore of Russia, France
Austria and Hungary, and the ore OF
China and Siberia desired by Japan

result of the coal company's
action, President Rinaldo Cap
pellini, and his executive board,
in District 1, seem to be salts
fed.
The case is a complicated one, but
it is quite obvious that both the coal
company and the officials Of District 1,
United Mine Workers of America, are
satisfied with the results.
Attack Polish Miner.
First there is a case of assault and
battery perpetrated by two petty
bosses at the Woodward collery, be-
longing to the Glen Alden, the victim
being a Polish miner To clear them
selves of this grave offense, the bosses
had the Polish miner sued for an al
legged attack on them but when the
grievance committee at the colliery
interceded in behalf of their fellow
miner, it was soon apparent that
trick was being played.
The case was handled by the Of
ficials of the district, and a settlement
was made that the miner be paid at
the rate of IS per day for all the time
he lost. Nothing has yet been paid,
however, altho it is quite some time
since the miner was assaulted in the
mine.
That brought into play a move on
the part of the company to rid itself
of the presence of Stanley Edmunds,
then president of the local union at
tached to the mine. Edmunds was
very popular as the president of the
local but he had become tired of the
inactivity of Cappellini and, altho
like many other local union officers in
District 1, he had helped to elect Cap
pellini, he was now listed as an enemy
and had to be dealt with.
Edmunds was elected by the miners
as docking boss, but the company re-
fused to let him serve in that capacity.
This and a number Of other reasons
were seized as legitimate reason for
strike and one was called.
cappeIIlni Knlfes Friend.
The Cappellini saw his chance to
knife his one time friend, not so much
because he was not now a friend, but
because, it is said, Edmunds was be-
ing prominently mentioned as a pos
sible opponent at the next election for
president of District 1. The charter
was revoked "a la Lewis" and after
considerable controversy it was re-
stored, with the understanding that
Edmunds and the two local union
secretaries could not hold Office for a
year.
A special meeting to elect officers
was called by the district officials and
when the smoke of battle blew away,
the district was given an ignominous
defeat and Edmunds' slate of friends
we're elected by almost unanimous
vote.
1t was generally thought that the
company would open the mine after
the election, but instead OF that, they
laid OFF the maintenance men in flag
rant violation of the agreement. The
men in the local union Immediately
raised the argument that this was a
violation Of contract and Cappellini
agreed. There was talk OF striking all
the mines OF Glen Alden, but there
is no prospect OF such thing hap
pening, altho the maintenance men
are still out.
There is not a person TO be found
who knows anything Of the trouble,
that is not willing TO say that It is
a lockout by the company and in VIC
lation of the agreement. The company

claims it is not a violation Of the
agreement.
With this piece of nonsense Cap
pellini evidently agrees, for to date
nothing has been done towards car
ing for the interests of the men thus
locked out. The other mines of the
Glen Alden are working every day,
while miners from the Woodward,
who seek elsewhere for work, are
told that no Woodward men will be
hired. A conspiracy is on foot to
punish every man who supported the
Edmunds faction by the weapon of
starvation.
