Pardon Attorney Blind
To Politicals, Could
See Bootleggers Easily
ny The Federated Pressl

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Thru six
weary years the American Civil Lib
critics Union and the various amnesty
committees strove with Pardon At
torney Finch, in the department of
Justice, for the pressing upon the ad-
ministrations-Wilson and Harding
Coolidge-of the facts with regard to
the political prisoners. Finch always
was working" on the cases. but they
moved with glacial slowness. At the
end of five years he had not seen the
trial record of evidence in the Sacra-
mento l. w. w. cases, and borrowed
it from the amnesty advocates.
Finch has just testified before the
Brookhart committee of the Senate
that his approval has been given to
the Communication of sentence of every
one of the numerous bootleggers who
have been freed by Daugherty. In
the case Of Philip Grossman of Chi
cago, he recommended clemency three
times, altho the man never served a
day in Jail. Both G. o. P. senators,
with Fred Upham, treasurer Of the ma
tional committee, and Atty. General
Brundage of Illionis, asked that Gross
man be let go. Coolidge freed him.

practical suggestions. 2. That the
audience expects the speaker to tell
them what to do. For a speaker to
get up on the platform, describe the
injustice Of the present system, work
up the indignation of the audience,
and leave them with the question
What shall be done?-is wasting time
and energy. It is absolutely essential
to join the ranks of the Workers Par
ty, the only party which is fighting for
the abolition Of the capitalist system.
To carry out the above suggestions
successfully, the speakers must not be
isolated from one another-they
should come together from time to
time to discuss various topics, which
are to be the subjects at the open
air meetings. The speakers will gain
a great deal from such discussions.
The plan described above was en-
ployed by the old Russian Social Dem
ocratic Party for many years with
great success.
The practical application Of this
plan must be given to a propaganda
committee which should control the
open air work. This committee is TO
call meetings Of the speakers to bring
in various suggestions as to the topics
for discussion, and practical sug-
gestions. Such a committee should
consist OF comrades we'll informed
theoretically. and of those whe are
familiar with public speaking.
With little effort on our part we
can carry out the plan and the results
will be gratifying

Food Workers Strike For
Shorter Day

James p. Cannon, member of the
executive committee of the Workers
Party delivered an unusual lecture in
the Northwest Hall at the regular
monthly meeting of the local T. U.
Z. L.
In his splendid talk on "May Day
and the American Labor Movement"
the speaker took stock" of the past
accomplishments of American Labor
as he felt ought be done on this day
and in most inspiring manner point
ed out the new progressive spirit of
American Labor since the Russian Re-
volution-the source of inspiration
and hope for all workers.
Sketching but very briefly the his
torical background of this day of La
Dor and stressing the significance of
May Day to American workers, the
lecture was enthusiastically greeted
by the militants who are attending
these monthly meetings in ever in
creasing numbers.
World Labor Activities.
Earl Browder, editor of the Labor
Herald, gave his monthly resume of
Labor's activities and growing pow
er in India, France and especially in
England where 100000 workers are
on strike. This interesting summary,
now an established feature of the
monthly T. U. Z. l.. meetings is re-
ceiving increasing popularity.
Michael Halter delegate for the
Food Trades, reported the proposed
strike of the Food Trades. The I'M
ion hall, he reported, is crowded with
food workers stirred by the coming
struggle to secure an S-hour day and
6-day week. The employers willing
to grant the last demand, are holding
out on the first, despite the unprece-
denied support of the large numbers
of Greek workers predominating in
the food trades who are for the first
time responding to organization.
Takers Fear "Fosterism".
Niels Kjar, for the building trades,
reported the difficulties being present
ed to the prNyressives by the reaction
airy leaders who insist on censoring
all literature sold in the hall that
might smack of Fosterism"
Delegate Davidson for the Needle
Trades, expressed confidence of vic
tory for the militants in the coming
Needle Trades Convention.
The large number of the Young
Workers League members attending
the meeting added a youthful touch
and enthusiasm to the meeting.

Young Workers Boom
Organization Work
In Milwaukee, Wis.

With one branch of the Y. w. l..
and three Junior groups organized
during the last five weeks, and several
more branches in the process of for
nation, the movement in Milwaukee
promises to develop into one of the
strongest in the country. The party
and league have been cooperating
very closely, to the mutual benefit Of
both.
Last Saturday and Sunday saw the
successful elimination Of months
intensive preparations for the show
ing of "Polikushka," and for a Y. w.
L. entertainment and dance. The Mil
waukee comrades, realizing the value
OF good music, called in the Chicago
Young Workers League orchestra, to
help them in these weekend affairs.
Comrade Evelyn Mack was especially
useful, in that she played the organ
accompaniment for "Polikushka,"
evoking the enthusiastic praise of her
audience. The orchestra rendered
several musical selections between
pictures, and was well received.
On Sunday afternoon, the Milwau-
kee Y. w. L. gave banquet in honor
Of the comrades from Chicago. This
was followed by an entertainment and
an organizational talk by Comrade
Paul Cline. In the evening. the dance
was a tremendous success. A fine
crowd of young people came out, and
the large hall was packed. 1t is GER
tain that these affairs will result in a
great many new members being taken
in.

the organizational work in the
Party and its educational work
or propaganda. This same rea-
son, in my opinion, may be ap-
piled to our open air meetings.
We are now approaching the
open air campaign; it is there
fore in order to discuss this
question.
The open air work, as conducted
heretofore, has brought verey little
result, and in many cases has done
much harm. The reason is the chaotic
manner in which this work was car
ried on. There was never a control
over the speakers. Each one had to
decide for himself what to say and
how, and often speaker. unconscious
ly would deliver a speech which was
as far from Communism as we are
from Mars. Very few OF the speakers
spoke OF the Workers Party and its
activities. and still less did l hear
speakers ask the workers to join the
ranks of the Workers Party.
There are several fundamental
points which our speakers must bear
. in mind.
1. The worker, when he comes to
our meetings is tired physically and
mentally, having spent the day in the
shop or factory. Therefore his mind
is only capable of perceiving that
which does not require much think
ing: his mind is not trained to think
quickly and logically Hence the
necessity for the speaker to construct
his speech systematically. logically,

Communist Victories

OMAHA, Nebr, May Alexander
Trachtenberg spoke before highly
appreciative audience at Omaha last
Monday evening on "What l Saw in
Russia and Germany" The meeting
was held under the auspices of the
local organization of the Workers
Party.
Trachtenberg spoke in detail Of his
experiences in Russia and turnout
central Europe, from where he lust
recently returned. He told of the
tremendous forward strides of Com
munist Russia on the economic front.
while the workers Of Germany are
sinking deeper into despair.
"The victories Of Russia on the
military front were of vital import
ance to the revolutionary cause" said
Trachtenberg, "but the achievements
on the economic front are of even
greater Importance, for upon them de-
Ponds the success or failure of the
workers and farmers administration
of society. Even after the counter
revolutionary bands had been decis-
lively defeated and the foreign invad-
ers driven from Russia, even then the
capitalist world powers did not recog-
nize the Workers and Peasants Gov
eminent of Russia"
At the close of the lecture, chair
man David Coutts made an appeal for
the working men and women oil Oma-
ha to get into the Workers Party
and help the cause of the world revo-
luton thru affiliation with the Com
munist movement.

Further breakdown Of the Lands

where bricklayers, pipe coverers, ele-

on strike.
The electricians struck to force the
Western Union Telegraph company to
install electrical tickers, messenger
call boxes and watches with union
men.
Thomas Donnelly, scab publisher
and chairman of the Citizens Commit
tee complains bitterly about the walk
out of the other craftsmen, whining
that the Lands Award anti-strike
clause reads that union men of one
trade shall not quit because non-union
men are employed in another trade

COAL BARONS
CLOSE MINES TO
BREAK UNION
But Lewis Thinks Bosses
Alright

10y Inc FeQerateQ PreSS)
The open shop manufacturer com
bine of the United States is on strike
against the United Mine Workers.
Huge coal reserves accumulated os.
tensibly against a miners strike are
being used to tide industry over with
the expectation that tens Of thousands
Of miners can be starved into accept
ing the open shop coupled with a 25
per cent wage cut. The operators are
hoping that the threat of prolonged
idleness will be enough to cause union
morale in many districts to crumble.
1.-THE perpetuation Of the 1922-1924
wage scale in the Central Competitive
field" writes the editor of Black Dia-
mond, the employers trade journal,
will ultimately have the same effect
on union mines as a strike would have
had in the event that there had been
no such agreement as that reached
at Jacksonville. The effect, had the
miners union and the operators failed
to agree on a continuance of the old
scale, would have been to force a sus-
pension at union mines and at the
same time to permit nonunion miners
to operate"
Violate Agreement.
Thus operators expect the agree
ment to force a suspension at union
mines, because orders will go to nom
union mines working on lower wage
scale. In the meantime the reserves
in the bins of industrial consumers
will make possible a period Of artifi-
cial depression in which to exert pres
sure to bring certain union fields into
the open shop column.
Coal reserves held by industrial con-
sumers April totaled 72,192,000 tons.
On the basis Of March consumption
this would meet requirements for So
days. According to Mark Kuehn,
chairman coal committee National AS
ISOLATION of Purchasing agents, until
these reserves are reduced consider
ably there is every reason to believe
that the coal market will remain de-
pressed. This is supported by econo-
mists Of the U. S. geological survey
who find that as long as reserves to-
tai more than 100000 tons buyers
can dictate prices.
Miners Idle.
In central Illinois mines are operat-
ing on a basis of about rs percent of
normal production and approximately
half the mines are reported closed.
Indiana as a whole is producing at
about the same rate. Southern Illi-
nois is operating at about one-third
of normal Western Kentucky and
the entire southwest fields are closed
by strikes.
Even in the nonunion fields" says
the report Of the geological survey,
"only a few districts reported in
creased production and in those cases
the improvement was small and Of
little consequence"
Bosses Play Golf.
The only cheerful news comes from
Carlinville, ILL.,, where Standard Oil
has reopened one of its two mines
which have been closed for about
months. The mine is reported on
union basis with minor changes in
working conditions.
But the men who live in comfort by
selling what miners produce are re-
ported by Chicago Journal of Com
merce to be passing most of their
time playing golf or fishing because
their mines are idle and there is no
demand for such coal as is offered"
