Marine Strikebreaking
Fund Admitted
BY LAURENCE TODD
Federated Press

WASHINGTON, May 20
Uncle Sam, strikebreaker, was
disclosed to the House commit
tee Investigating the waste of
funds by the Shipping Board, on
May n, when Thomas J. Rice,
special assistant attorney gen.
eraI, testified that $4,000 had
been paid by the Shipping Board
to the shipoWners' strike fund
during the 1919 maritime strike
on the Pacific Coast.
AS the outcome Of this strug-
gle, the "closed shop of the
owners-closed against union
labor" with it's industrial pass
port and anti-union pledge sys-
TEN, was established in every
port southwark from Portland.
Representative Cooper of Wiscon-
sin, presiding, and Representative
Davis of Tennessee, in a series of
questions to the witness brot out the
fact that the policy Of the shipping
board had been to assist the private
ship owners and the operators of gov
eminent ships in their attempt to
smash the unions. Admiral Renson
had been chairman Of the board at
the time of this contribution of pub
lie money to the class war; but the
defeat suffered by the seamen and
longshoremen had never been re-
trieved, even to the present hour.
Scab Si.2oooo0 Fund.
Moreover, the companies operating
government ships out of San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles had contribu-
ted to the fund of $1,200,00O used by
the Industrial Association in San
Francisco to crush the building trades
unions thru an illegal combination of
contractors and building material
concerns. This combination was dis
solved by the federal court, last year,
as being in violation of the antitrust
laws. The. steamship combine, which
went to the aid of the building COM
bine in what was described by Rice as
"a general assault upon all organized
labor" is itself now under investiga-
tion as being equally in violation of
the laws.
"This combination consists of the
Shipowners' Association of the Pacific
Coast and the Pacific-American
Steamship Association" said Rice.
Complaint was made to the depart
ment of justice by labor leaders on
the coast, that they have violated the
Sherman law. l made the first of my

erty last January, and have made

cOrQlnS TO the order or business
laid down by the committee on
rules and order, should have
been taken up today.
Nesbit Doesn't Know.
Another demand was made by the
progressive delegates that the reso-
lutions on constitutional changes,
which have been printed in pamphlet
form for ten days, be distributed to
the delegates. Delegate Fireman
Thompson, pointed out that some of
the favored reporters had been given
these resolutions a week ago. There
are SO resolutions in the pamphlet de-
handing that the power to appoint
the district employees of the union be
taken away from Harrington and that
they be elected instead. Walter Mes
bit, who is in charge of the resolu-
tions, said he doesn't know how the
reporters got them.
harrington Dies Hard.
Harrington lost the appointive pow
er when that matter came on the floor
of the convention under the discus
sion of Farrington's report.
The progressives see in the an
nouncement of Harrington that the
convention must adjourn by Tuesday
night an attempt to get the appointIye
power before the delegates a second
time.
Vice-President Fishwick ruled last
week that the appointive power had
definitely been stripped from Earring
ton, and the report of the committee
on constitutional resolutions must
report on the details of the election of
state employees.
Appeals Committee Reports.
The committee on appeals and
grievances reported on AZ resolutions
relating to old and disabled men, The
convention voted that SO of these
should be paid $25 apiece.
Eleven resolutions considered by
the convention, dealt with the viola
tons of the agreement by the coal
operators. the men demanding strike
benefits when locked out. The resolu-
tions covered cases of individual mem
bers of the union who have appealed
from the decision of the district exc
cutive board upon their grievance
with the coal operators.
S. Berkowich appealed from the de-
cision of the Illinois Joint Group
Board No. 3. Berkowich. who is
well-known syndicalist, was blacklist
ed by the Southern Gem Coal Co, and
this blacklist was carried by all the
southern coal operators. At the inter-
national convention at indianapolis,
an unsuccessful attempt was made by
the Lewis machine to unseat Berkow-
ich.
harrington Aids Blacklist.
Berkowich tried to get the case re-
opened before the convention today,
but Harrington would not give Ber-
kowich the floor.
In spite of the fact that the ma
jority Of the delegates wanted to give
Berkowich the right to state his case,
Harrington arbitrarily ruled against
them.
The Illinois convention, under the
constitution. is the highest body of
appeal in the state, but Harrington
who, when il suits his purpose. is
anxious to abide by the constitution,
played the tyrant once more and re-
fused Berkowich HIS constitutional
right.
harrington Rebuked.
The convention administered a re-
buke to Harrington by ruling that the
case should be re-opened by the dis
trict board with instructions that Der.
kowich is to be paid for the time he
has lost because OF the blacklist

Coolidge To Open
Substitute For Green
House On K. Street

WASHINGTON, May 26.-President
Coolidge, cabinet members, lobbyists
of all kinds and influential politicians,
are to foregather at the opening of
the million-dollar Congressional Coun-
try Club, ten miles out of town, to in
augurate the most palatial of golf
tea-political rallying places that the
capital has yet produced. Member
ships come at $1,000 each, and cor
poration lawyers, bankers, stockbrok-
ers and industrial magnates have
flocked in. The idea is that this club
will afford discreet means of getting
acquainted. in an innocent social way,
with the leaders in Congress. When
a quiet talk is needed, out to the Con
gressional Country Club!

100000 NOW
NE MBERS OF
RUSSIAN C. P.
Rapid GrOwth Is Aid
To Soviet Russia

MOSCOW, May 26.-Report-
ing for the Central Executive
Committee to the Thirteenth
Congress of the Russian Com
munist Party, comrade Stain
declared that the membership of
the organization had risen to
over 100000. This number is
inclusive of the 125, 900 work.
ingmen admitted to the Com
munist Party in the drive for
members inaugurated after the
death of Nicolai Lenin.
About SO per cent of the en-
tire membership consists of in
dustrial workers and 25 per cent
| of poor peasants. Women work
ers and peasants, clerks, and
employees engaged in the serv-
ice of the Soviet government
make up the rest of the mem
bership.
Of the membership of the Young
Communist organization which has
risen to more than $4,000, more than
forty per cent are industrial work
ers. The pioneer organizations Of the
Red Youth. the young children, now
have total membership Of between
10000 and 100000.
According to the last census, there
are now in Soviet Russia 5,541, 900
trade union members. This is a gain
Of almost million over the proceed
ling year and is especially significant
in view of the fact that almost every
national section of the Amsterdam In
ternational has shown loss for the
same period
zinoviev On Foreign Policy.
Comrade Gregori Zinoviev made
complete and thorogoing review of the
present economic situation of Soviet
Russia, particularly in the light of
the foreign economic relations and
policies of the Soviet Republic.
In discussing the conditions under
which Soviet Russia might be ready
to assume some of the obligations in
CURED by the preceding capitalist and
czarist governments, Comrade Zinc
view emphatically declared: zone
should never lose sight of the fact
that while we refuse to pay the old
czarist debts, we shall gladly meet
and fully observe all obligations in
volved in our own debts"
Zinoviev indicated that Soviet Rus
STA was planning to narrow and limit
the concessions field. For instance,
the Soviet Government will grant no
more concessions aiming at the ex-
ploitation of the Baku and Grosnyi
oil fields.
This is of international Importance
in the light of the recent declaration
made by the Royal Dutch Shell inter
ests in disposing of some of their
American oil holdings that they were
henceforth going to concentrate on
Russian developments.
Today. fifty-flve concessions have
been granted by the Soviet Govern
ment to Dutch, German, Norwegian,
British and mixed companies. In
these concessions the Soviet Govern
ment and the private companies par
ticipate jointly.
The policy that the Communists
propose for Soviet Russia on this field
aims towards limiting the activities
of the private capitalists to mini
mum and towards rendering the maxi
mum government help to the state
and cooperative organizations. Zinc
view made it very clear that the Sow
let Government would increase its
vigilance over the bourgeois elements
that might tend to develop thru the
granting of certain concessions to, pri-
vate interests having large amounts
OF capital.
