CAPTURE OF POLITICAL
POWER URGED BY LONG
AT |. A. M. CONVENTION

Especial to The DAILY WORKER
DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 1s.-DeIe-
gate William Long, Montreal, today
sailed into the resolution on insur-
anee presented here to the conVen-
ton of the international Association
of Machinists. He urged the neees-
slty of capturing political power as
against insurance, while Delegate
Tate, Akron, Ohio, insisted on the
union becoming an economic force
capable of wrestling economic power
from the capitalists.
Fry, a Chicago delegate, pointed
out that the international had gone
into all kinds of business, banking
insurance, machine shops and over
alls, and still it had lost four-flfths
of it's membership since the Roches-
ter convention.
Discussion will continue on this
question during the afternoon ses-
sion... A. S. Brownie, president Of
the AmaIgamated Society of Ensl-
neers, (machinists) in Great Britain,
will address the convention and
speak at an open meeting here to-
night.

LEGION'S ENTRY
into POLITICS
RAISES FURRY.
Military Clique Union
Danger to Workers
lspeoIaI 70 rhe DaIIy workerl

Especial TO The Daily Worker)
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 49,
Does the speech of Iabor-hating
Judge KenesaW Mountain Lam
dis at the American Legion con-
Vention here today foreshadoW
the entrance of the organiza-
tion into politics with a bang?
That is the question that is
being discussed not only in St.
Paul, which thinks legion" to-
day, but by political leaders in
all parts of the country.
Politicians on Watch Duty.
A number Of nationally known pol
tical wiseacres and leaders are pres
ent at the convention and are display
ing keen and unprecedented interest
in the proceedings, especially those
that go on behind the scenes. The
Lands speech has stirred up quite a
| furry.
"You men Of the legion are always
being told to do things" said the old
lingo, Il don't think you need to be
told how to act in time of peace. You
certainly knew how to act in time of
war. Nevertheless anyone who does
bit Of good is always being called
upon again. Get the vote out. It's
one Of your duties as Americans"
The temper of the reaction to this
speech and the undercurrent of the en-.
tire convention, was expressed unof-
ficially by one high in the councils of
the legion. "The legion can swing
elections and it is my genuine belief
that the legion will swing elections.
1t may not happen this year, but it is
coming just as sure as tomorrow's
sun, and when it comes-well, look
out for the ex-service men. They'll
run the country"
Is Danger To Workers.
While this is quite an exaggeration
there is not bit of doubt that the
legion's entry into politics as a veter.
ans unit would contribute greatly to
the strength of stark reaction in Am.
erica. A militarist clique, controlled
completely by officers with capitalist
affiliations, which will enter politics
as whole, has had reactionary ef-
feet on the workers struggle for bet.
ter conditions in various European
countries and the same is a possible
condition in this country. While the
danger is not SO great at present, a
growing movement of the workers
here would bring this force into active
play.
The election of national command.
er here will hinge largely on the de.
cision of the convention on the poll
teal qestion.

Of Identification of most Of the bodies

FRENCH PREMIER
RUNS FOUL OF

PARIS, Sept. 1S-Apparently every
body in France does not assume that
a man who uses his feet instead of
an automobile is above suspicion.
Premier Herriot came to this conclu-
sion last night after large number
of workers carrying banners demand
ing the release of political prisoners
met him as he walked thru the city
of Marseilles after landing from
torpedo boat.
Did Not Thrash Him.
The workers were led by young
Communists. No violence was Of
fered the premier, tho the capitalist
papers made it appear that the work
ers would have beaten him but for
police interference.
Amnesty for political prisoners was
one of the issues on which Herriot
ran for election. Like all bourgeois
politicians he has conveniently for
gotten his promises since he assumed
office. The Communists are holding
him to his promise.
When the premier landed from the
torpedo boat, he insisted on walking
instead of riding in his automobile.
claiming that it was more demo
cratic" to walk than to ride. II turn
