FRAUDS IN POLL

Wholesale Juggling of
Votes, Is Claim

EVERETT, WASH, Nov. a.
That gross frauds were COM
mitted and wholesale Juggling
of votes resorted to by picard
ers of the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners of
America in connection with the
referendum election held in
April, 1923, is the sensational
report just made public here in
detail for the first time, by dele
gates of the local union who at
tended the recent international
convention at Indianapolis.
Rumored Frauds Proven.
Rumors of these frauds have been
in circulation for more than a year
but officers of the local declined to
discuss the matter in detail outside
Of meetings, further than to state that
the 50 votes of Everett, which were
unanimous in opposition to the prop
osition submitted by President Hutch
eson to build and maintain home for
aged members, had been counted as
unanimously in favor thereof. They
did give out the information, however.
that international officers arbitrarily
had dismissed the locals protest and
appeal for recount, with best wish
es and kindest regards that an in.
vestigation had uncovered similar
frauds in all parts of Canada and the
United States; that other locals also
in the ''gypped" class were co-operat-
ing with Everett in an endeavor to
bring the subject before the next In.
ternational convention.
The proposition contemplated an ad
dition to per capita assessments upon
the membership of approximately $40,
600 per month for an indefinite period,
for construction and maintenance of
a home for aged carpenters. The
Everett local voted against the plan
not because of opposition to a home,
but because Of the proposed location
in the alligator swamps of Florida,
where it would accommodate only
small portion Of those who might de-
sire to become inmates.

SIX COMMUNISTS
FROM RE|CHSTAG
ARE ARRESTED
MOrgGn's Influence Is
Becoming Evident
Especial to the Daily wOrker)

BERLIN, Nov. 23.-Six Com
munist members of parliament
have been arrested here, and
the remaining So Communist
members of Morgan's Reichstag
are prosecuted and compelled to
remain in hiding, the report OF
the Conference for Red Relief
OF Germany discloses.
The Red Relief Of Germany
now has 100000 members the
report states. The official re-
port of the Red Relief Confer
ence, which was addressed by
a representative of the Russian
Red Relief, follows:
Conference Of the Red Relief Of
Germany
ION Oct. rs, 1924, the conference Of
the Red Relief of Germany took place
in Berlin. At this conference it be-
came obvious that the German Red
Relief has made considerable progress
in the course Of the last few months.
1t was formed in 1921 at the time OF
the prosecutions after the March
action Of the German working class,
but at that time the Red Relief was
not yet firm organization. When
the terror of class justice decreased
somewhat in 1922, the Red Relief
work, too, decreased. However, when
in October 1928, after the defeat Of
the German working class, the terror
Of the capitalists began again with IN
heard of brutality, an immense relief
work for the victims of the class war
and their families became necessary.
Since the beginning of this year q
systematic organizational work of
the Red Relief of Germany has been
carried on. The income OF the organ
ization increased from 24.o72 gold
marks in April 1924 to 54,702 gold
marks in September. A firm mem
bership organization of the Red
Relief was formed. Thus, for in
stance, the district Of Lower Rhine
has won already $4,000 individual
members and 30 collectively affiliated
organizations with 10000 members,
which is a total of $4,000 members.
The Red Relief Of Germany includes
at present about 100000 members.
Despite this great progress OF the
work, however. the Red Relief Of Ger

(sreoIal TO the Daily Worker)

JUAREZ, Mexico, Nov. 3d.
The leaders of the Mexican Fed
Grafton Of Labor Confederation
Regional Obrera Mexicana) and
other sycophantic spokesman of
FLatin-American unions, have
prostituted themselves here be-
fore American Imperialism in
the most brazen and unmistak-
able manner by official and open
homage to Coolidge, president
of Wall Streets imperialist gov
Iernment, and simultaneous
obeisance to Gompers, presi-
dent of Wall Streets imperial

Traitors to Their Glass.
This marks the acceptance by the
leaders OF Latin-American labor
unions of the despicable role of trail
tors to their race, oppressed by the
imperialist absoIutism Of the north,
and traitors as well to the working
classes they claim to represent in
their continuous struggle against both
native and foreign capitalist exploita-
ton.
At the convention Of the Mexican
federation &C. r. o. ND resolution
was passed to send to President Cool
idge the following message:
subservient to Coolidge.
"The sixth annual convention Of
the Confederation Regional Obrera
Mexicana, rejecting the sentiment of
the workers of Mexico, unanimously
resolves itself to express to the peo-
pie of the United States, whose gov
eminent you wholly represent, our
thanks for the just and righteous at
titude you assumed during the recent
military treachery headed by Adolfo
de la Huerta, thus helping the work
ers and the government of Mexico,
nobly represented by Obregon, to de-
fend the rule of democracy and lib
erty.
Hypocrisy Is Expressed.
I'VE feel and hope that the rela-
tons of friendship existing at present
between our two countries, will en-
dure eternally to our mutual happi-
ness and prosperity Respectfully

L. Gracidas, secretary"
The hypocrisy Of this toe-licking OF
the strikebreaker in the White
House becomes apparent when it is
understood that the American CAPT
talists supported Obregon as against
Adolfo de la Huerta for their own
good imperialist reasons.
Huerta was backed by the Cowdray

DUNLAY GETS NEW RESIDENCE" FROM
 HIS BOSS CAHILL
East Havener on the New Haven Delegation Put on Eighth
 District Committee.

Boss Cahill's unit rule gagging the New Haven delegation to the state con vention sure is handy thing. It enabled him this week to place Charles P Dun lay, superintendent of Sewers in New Haven but an actual resident of East Haven, who was picked as delegate from the eleventh senatorial district to the state meeting, into he eighth dis trict and on a committee of the conven- lon from that district. There was none to say him "nayq' even they had the nerve to do so.

With other city attaches on the Cahill bandwagon, he was picked for he state convention as from the Fair Haven districts which abuts on East Ha ven.
 But when it came to picking commit tees from the delegates to act on the state convention matters, the real e1e- venth district men wanted he honors for themselves and objected to Dunlay grah ping off any more. But the Boss had to take care of him somehow and as his will was supreme over the delegates he simply shifted Dun1ay over onto the eighth district and appointed him to the committee on permanent organization which, while it doesn't mean much gave Drnlay chance to get his name in th' papers as being among those honore~ anyhow.

 There seems to be a feeling that when the state convention comes there may be a test of strength be- tween the forces which have ruled democratic state conventions in the past and the forces which are clamor- ing for new deal
 Ever since the Wilson administra- ton the state policies of the demo cratic party have been managed to a great extent by Homer s. Cummings of Stamford, and Thomas J. Spe11acy of Hartford. A great many democrats throughout the state are asking for a new deal because there has been no state victory in all that time or since Governor Simeon E. Baldwin was elected in 1912. That is F years ago
 This year, apparently, the same plan is being put forward. If the friends of Cummings and Spellacy expect to. week and run 1t so that whatever plums are plucked will fall into their hands or into the hands of their friends many of the democrats of the city and the state want a new deal They say, for instance, that there can be no democratic victory in the state without the vote of New Haven, which furnishes about one fourth of all the democratic votes of the state. They want some recogni- ton in the big places for New Haven, New London, Waterbury, Bridgeport and the other cities of the state, which furnish, year after year, the votes which would bring victory if those who have been pulling down the honors had furnished their share

Noonan Succeeds
 George B. Chandler
Clerk of House Appointed Hartford
 Compensation Commissioner.

Hartford, May 3-Leo J. Noonan, of 155 Warrenton avenue, clerk of the House of Representatives, has been appointed compensation commissioner for the First Congressional district by Governor Templeton.
 The appointment is for term of seven months, effective upon the va eating of the office by George B.

Chand- 1er's term which extends to January 1. 1925. He was also promised the regu- lar five year appointment from that date, which will probably be the last which Governor Templeton will have to make before retiring as governor.
