ers here.
The slogan For the Mass
Class Farmer-Labor Party" was
raised by the permanent chair
man Charles S. Taylor of Mon
tana in an address to the dele
gates. Taylor assured the dele
gates that he had prepared his
speech without consulting with
William z. Foster, G. E. Ruthen-
berg or any other Communist.
There is going to be no red bait
ing in this convention" said Taylor.
He then turned his attack on the Re-
publican convention at Cleveland and
the Democratic convention to come in
New York. The convention cheered
as he branded former Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty as the protector of
the big burglars who loot the people
and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
as the arch bootlegger OF the age.

delegation in the world than with the

after the Democratic national conven-
ton in New York. The northwest
and southwest went strong for imme-
diate action, backing Taylor. Half OF
Mahoney's total strength came from
Minnesota. On roll call Taylor re-
ceived us votes to LOG for Mahoney.
The Minnesota delegation, strongest
on the floor, split, 70 for Taylor, So
for Mahoney. Taylor's vote was then
made unanimous as were other con-
vention officers elected. These are

this doesn't mean that there was
a dull moment during the whole
time the convention was in ses-
sion.
Miners Name Rocks Hall.
Even during the reading of the Gre
dentials committee report the dele
gates insisted on cheering, as long as
they desired, their particular favor
ties. The announcement that Alex
Howat was here to represent the
workers of his state brought the dele
gates to their feet cheering.
This was not long after mention of
the name of LaFollette by the tempo
rary chairman, William Mahoney, had
been received in silence. Rounds OF
applause also swept the convention
hall as the delegates of the Mime
sofa Farmer-Labor federation, the
Workers party and the Federated
Farmer-Labor party were read off.
Big Applause for Macdonald.
But the cheering. that had greeted
the name of the Kansas coal miner,
not long ago occupying a prison cell
in his own state, had hardly died out
in this tremendous structure where the
convention is being held, when anoth-
er coal miner, Duncan Macdonald of
Illinois, turned the first heavy artil-
lery on the Wisconsin senator and his
ilk. Mr.. Macdonald had been selected
as vice chairman, and after he had
been ushered to the platform he had
a few words to say on his own ac-
count, and he said them bluntly.
No Bankers Convention.
"The bankers and the landlords tell
us that the workers and farmers must
not get together in their own party"
said Macdonald. "They say it can't
be done, but they have no objections
to the workers and farmers getting to-
gether in the Teapot Dome parties.
The gang that is taking 100000 o.

Fifth Meeting Of Third

MOSCOW, June 16.-The
whole city is swarming with
workers representatives from
almost every country of the
globe assembled here for the
Fifth Congress of the Commun-
list (Third) International, which
opened in the grand opera house
with tremendous demonstra-
tions of enthusiasm for the unity
of the workers of the world.
More than a thousand dele
gates have been received here
with great ovations.
See Progress.
Everywhere are eager little groups
of delegates who find that they have
common language in which they can
discuss their problems. Mutual con
gratulations are exchanged on the re-
cent progress of the Communist move
ment, especially as shown in the
French and German elections.
Watch Fascism.
The precarious condition of Fas-
cism in Italy and possibility of a real
party of workers and peasants coming
to power there, as well as in other
oppressed countries. give the working
class delegates much to debate over.
The American situation, where a
Farmer-Laber convention is in prog
ress with American Communists par
ticipating, also furnishes a topic for
the international's delegates specu-
lation.
The sessions of the fifth congress,
now shifted to the historic old Krem-
lin, are considering with the utmost
seriousness that world situation of la
Dor and the Communist movement.
The basic program for the organiza-
ton of the workers thruout the world
is being formulated.
The essential problems of each
country's proletariat will be taken up
during the three weeks sessions and

rican party in the parliamentary cleo
tons yesterday. SHUTS party, which
favors close affiliation with the policy
of the mother country, England, lost
its majority in the Dominion parlia-
ment at the same time.
These defeats may bring a serious
situation in the empires affairs, es-
pecially if the opposition parties form
a coalition government, as seems
likely.
Mostly old Dutch Republicans.
The nationalists, who are out and
out for secession from the empire and
for independence, gained considerably
in the election and will offer marked
opposition to the South African party
which still retains a plurality in the
parliament. The labor forces, includ-
ing many Negroes, to some extent,
supported the nationalist leader, Hert-
zog, to defeat the tough old general,
who has been so bitterly anti-labor in
his domestic policy. Colonel w.
CrewswelI is the leader of the Labor
party in South Africa.
1t is expected that a International
list government will be formed. which
will have substantial majority over
the South African party. English i'm
perialists are not a whit pleased with
the turn OF government and the labor
rule in England is obviously cycling

ST. PAUL, June 18.-Com-

on the second day of its sessions
here.
It came as the result of the

If we can get full cooperation here
| am sure there is no danger of any
walkout, disruption or blowup. Let
our unity and harmony here demon
strate our ability to carry on our bust
ness in spite of the attacks made
against u.s."
Delegate William 2. Foster, of the
Workers party, then secured the floor
and spoke as follows:
Rally Farmers and Workers.
'In answer to the statement which
was made by Brother Mahoney want
to state on behalf of the Workers
party that we have not come here for
the purpose of capturing this conven-
ton. We realize that in order for a
Farmer-Labor party to be a success
it cannot be a Communist party. We
do not expect to see a Communist
program come out of this convention,
a Communist form of organization, or
Communist candidates nominated. We
expect to see platform which will
rally the great mass of farmers and
workers. We expect that type of or
ganization and that type of candi-
dates.
I'VE repudiate the statements in
the press. The statements are made
for the purpose of destroying the
farmer-labor movement in the United
States and for no other reason"
The members of the various com
mittees then adjourned to the Labor
Temple to draw up the reports.
Tear Buckets for Press.
Other speeches against the red
batting press were made with J. o.
Bentall. recent candidate for congress
on the Farmer-Labor ticket in the
Duluth, Mimi. district, making mo-
ton that the convention take up a
collection to purchase tear buckets
for the yellow press editors.

over the fact that all of their predic-
lions of splits and disruption have
