know something Of the workings Of
the Business Mems League. There is
no way in which the truth Of it can
be determined. But 1t is significant
that the tale is heard again and again.
and that it is always told with the
same details. This Is the story:
Beginning Of League.
When rs years ago Negro business
men began coming to banks for the
purpose of borrowing capital, white
bankers, anxious to learn what they
could about the financial backing Of
their borrowers, asked Booker Il.
Washington to form league Of bust
ness men-a centralized organization
thru which they could discover the
exact volume Of Negro business in the
country. Booker T. Washington
called upon Negro business men in all
cities to form local business leagues,
to compile statistics and to send dele
gates to a central body. This was the
beginning of the National Negro Bust
ness League, which is celebrating its
silver jubilee today.

PATERSON, N. j., Aug. 49,
The Daugherty Silk Mill, the
last big mill that had not yet
Joined the silk workers on strike
here, was struck by its 400
workers, making the strike of
the Associated Silk Workers one
hundred per cent effective.
At the same time, the strikers
rejected the proposal of the
United States department Of
labor representative, John A.
Moffett to arbitrate the de-
mands of the workers with the
manufacturers.
This offer was refused because the
manufacturers have at no time shown
any inclination to conciliate the work
ers, and it is most likely that their
proposals would mean the abrogation
of the principal demands of the
strikers.

AMERICAN
LAB OR B ODY
MEETS DEC. 5
Gompers Losing Strangle
Hold on Latins
lspeoIaI 10 the paIIy Morker.l

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. - The
fourth congress Of the Pan-American
Federation of Labor will be held in
Mexico City on Dec. 3, according to
an announcement made today by Ca
nuto Avargas, Spanish language sec
rotary of the federation.
Why Convention City Changed.
At first the convention was sched-
uled to be held in Guatemala at the
close Of December. Disturbed eco
nomic and political conditions in this
Central American republic make i'm
possible the holding of this gathering
there as previously arranged.
The committee in charge of all ar
rangements for the conference is also
anxious to attach as much signifi-
canoe to it as possible by holding the
conclave simultaneously with the in
auguration of the Mexican President
Gales, who is himself member Of
the Pan-American Federation of La
Dor.
Samuel Gompers, who is chairman of
the executive committee charged with
organizing this gathering. is plan
ming to utilize this occasion Of holding
the convention at the same time with
the Inauguration Of Gales, toward in
creasing his hold on the various Latin
American unions affiliated with the
Pan-American Federation of Labor
Revolt Against eompers Hegemony.
Recent months have seen a growth
in the opposition to Samuel Gompers'
domination of this Pan-American
body. The failure of Mr.. Gompers to
help the Mexican oil workers striking
against the British corporation, Gel
Aguila," has especially been instru-
mental in producing dissatisfaction
with him amongst the Mexican trade
unionists.

Fight DRAGS
Until monday
Guinea Still Unable to
Appear in Hearing

The court fight of the con-
tending factions of the Indus
trial Workers of the World con-
tinues to drag.
Another postponement, this
time until next Monday, was
ordered by Judge A. j. SABBATH,
in the Superior Court, in the
hearing on the injunction de-
manded by the Griffith-Rowan-
Bowerman group against the
officers representing the adj
ministration forces, Joe Fisher
and Tom Doyle. The case was
up again yesterday.
Attorney John A. Ryan, represent
ing Attorney William A. Guinea, in
formed Judge SABBATH that illness pre-
vented Guinea from appearing in
court. SABBATH instructed Ryan to in
form Guinea that he will be expect
ed to appear next Monday.
In spite of the insistence of 7. B.
O'Connell, attorney representing the
injunctionites, that Judge SABBATH rem
der a decision, the judge refused to
handle the case until the appearance
of Attorney Guinea in court Monday.
This means that the Industrial
Workers of the World headquarters
will remain securely locked, under
court orders, until Monday. In the
meantime the membership is rapidly
being made acquainted with the stu
alton that has developed in their or.
ganizatfon, and a genuine interest in
the case was manifested in yester.
days court session.
In the courtroom and in the CORR
doris members of the l. w. w. crowd
ed about, eager to learn the develop
ments in the case. There was much
indignation voiced with the Griffith
group for handling an internal organ
national matter thru the courts.
A member of the l. w. w. for the
last eight years, who wishes his name
withheld, told the DAILY WORKER
reporter that Griffith will not be up
held by the organization in bringing
this matter into the capitalist courts
Our members are against such
procedure, and even the small follow
ing they had was lost to them thru
vention in about 80 days, and oul
vention in about 90 days, and oui
membership will decide this case fol-
themselves"
An effort was made to get an ex
preston of viewpoint from the repre-
sentatives of the other side. They
refused to express any opinion. Their
attorney, T. B. O'Connell, said he
didn't know what the outcome would
be, and expressed a hope that mex
Mondays court session would render
9 decision.

usual attempt to prevent picketing.
One of the arguments used by the
companies to obtain the Injunction
was that a non-union miner had been
assaulted by the wives of strikers.
At the Arnettville plant of the
Whyle Coal & Coke Co., 81 miners
went on strike and Joined the union,
insisting upon the full union scale.
This plant mas been operating on a
non-union basis for the past year.

from the courts to turn union min
ers who refuse to work on non.union
basis, out of the company houses.
The Coalburg-Kanawha Coal Co.
employed the Smith Detective agency
of Charleston to secure possession Of
two houses Of miners who refused to
work at the reduced scale. The de-
tectives set the household goods Of
these families out on the road.

Similarly the West Kentucky Coal
Co. is reported as progressing very
slowly in its efforts to get the former

pany going on its company union
plan. At its Providence district mines
about 100 miners are working while
over 1000 union men are on strike.
Five or six officers of the Kentucky
national guard have been sent by
the governor to keep an eye on the
situation.

Communists for their effort to estab-
fish Farmer-Labor Party.
The general is against the League
Of Nations and upbraids the demo-
cratic party for its invitation to the
people of this country to again enter
that fog of debate" which ended with
Harding's victory in the 1920 cleo
tions. Some people thought debates
have tendency to dispel fogs.
Having learned the views Of the
citizens of the United States on the
League Of Nations, which was a
thumbs down verdict, the republican
administration coolly proceeded to run
Europe in behalf of the bankers, and
this policy Mr.. Dawes refers TO as an
"act Of courage"
Act of Courage.
'If the president and the secretary
of state had evaded this duty and pre-
cipitated the question of official rep
resentation for debate. delay and non
action, into the United States senate,
the United States would have had no
part in the last desperate but success
full effort to find common ground of
agreement for a new peace in the
world, If indeed but for their action
there would be any peace at ALL"
The general favored the world court
for the League of Nations, which is
difference in name only. He then
proceeded to calm the fears of the
nationalistic .jingoes whose interests
and those of the international bankers
do not jibe, that the United States was
under no necessity to appeal to the
world court unless it found it profit
able to do so.
Hot Air Merchant.
The Dawes speech was a typical
piece Of demagoguery, only to be ex-
pected from that much touted blather-
skite. He did not attempt to discuss
the real issues affecting the country.
He ranted against "demagoguery," an
art of which he is master. He de.
nounced the democrats for favoring
the League OF Nations, while he ia.
vors the world court. This is not a
difference, but merely distinction
but it is practically all the difference
there is between the democratic and
republican parties.
