CARPENTERS WAR
With METAL men
REvIVES AGAIN
Kansas City Building
Unions Fight

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 3.-The
Building Trades council has called a
strike on all jobs on which carpenters
are employed. In 1920 the national
board of jurisdictional awards ruled
that metal window frames belong to
the sheet metal workers. The carpen-
ters' union withdrew from the ma
tional board and from the local Build
ing Trades council.
Carpenters Stand Alone.
In this town they also withdrew
from the Central Labor union because
the carpenter candidate for G.. L. U.
business agent was defeated in 1921
by shady tactics.
Two years ago w. H. Hutcheson,
the carpenters international presi-
dent, ordered his men everywhere to
ignore the award get the workor
strike. In Kansas City three build
ings are involved; in Topeka, two.
The Pratt-Thompson- company, part
Of the biggest building bosses group
in the midwest, has employed sheet
metal workers on the metal trim work
Of the new Board of Trade building
going up at 10th and Wyandotte
streets. The carpenters of Local
Union No. 81, employed on the buil6s
ing, have protested. vigorously.
Building Council Orders Strike.
The Building Trades council has or
dered strike Of all crafts on all
buildings where carpenters are, still at
work. This will cut off the carpenters
from their funds-prevent them work
ing on some buildings to finance the
picketing of others.
1t is not fight Of the Building
Trades council against the local car
penters, but against the Hutchinson
machine. It's effect, however, is to ex-
tend a welcome to scab carpenters to
take struck job.

LOCKNER TELLS

Red Vote Came from
Industrial Workers
BY LOUIS p. LocHNER.

Federated Press Staff Correspondent.
BERLIN, June S.-While political
dopesters are busy trying to figure
out just what sort of cabinet can be
constructed as result of the mixed
up election results Of May 4, the stu
dent of labor is more interested in
knowing what, from the workers
point of view, has taken place. The
outstanding fact is that the Commun-
lists have made tremendous gains, in
creasing their seats in the reichstag
from II to 62, while the socialists
have lost terrifcally, coming down
from 10 to barely 100.
That the Communists would gain at
the expense of the Socialists was free
ly admitted in Socialist party head
quarters. OF greater interest is the
question of just where the Socialists
were strongest and where the Com
munists. Communist gains were the
greatest in the thickly populated dis
tricts of the Rhine and Ruhr valleys.
In the large cities of Berlin, Halle,
Leipsic, Hamburg, the Communist
vote was heaviest where the indus
trial workers live. 1t is pretty safe
to generalize that, the Communist par
ty in the reichstag election has COM
mended itself to the industrial work
er, while the Socialist party drew its
vote more from the aristocracy of Ia
Dor, from artisans and small trades
men, and from intellectuals.

NEW YORK, June a. Striking
members of the Players Equity are
bringing the Producing Managers AS
sociation to terms by forcing the
closing down of seven shows.
The closing down Of stepping
Stones will be big blow to the
managers, whose box-office receipts
from the play were soaring. The
other shows which will probably be
closed are: Rain" 1.-THE Nervous

Prominent actors and actresses are

that she made arrangements for a
long-needed vacation before the pro-

Stop Shipment of Anti
Soviet Munitions.
Especial to The Daily Worker,

SPRAGUE, June 3--The work.
ers of Czecho- Slovakia, under
1.-THE direction of the Communist
Party, called a halt on the ship
ment of munitions from the
great Skoda works to Roumania
and Poland. The workers
learned that the war material
was destined for Poland and
Roumania and intended for use
in a war against Soviet Russia.
The Shoda factory has been
turning out munitions in ire
mendous quantities for several
months. The factory is owned
by the French munitiOn manu-
facturer and war lord, M. Schni-
der, and the money to pay for
the munitions has been supplied
by the French government.
Solid trainloads were being ship
ped to Poland and Roumania when
the workers committee called con-
ference and refused permission to
load any more war material.
The action Of the Czecho-Slovak
workers together with the explosion
in the Roumanian munition works
put serious crimp in the war plans
against Soviet Russia by the capital
list nations that are using the small
nations as tools.
The workers Of Europe are giving
evidence that no matter how much
the labor takers rail against Russia,
the heart of the masses is with the
Workers Republic and that they are
ready to give their hearts blood to
protect that republic against the capt.
talist jackals who have not yet sur
rendered hope Of bringing about its
downfall.

FARMER
FORCED TO LOWER
LIVING STANDARD
Loss of Markets Hits
u. S. Industry
BY LELAND oLps.

The southern farmer depending on
his cotton crop will be forced to join
the cotton mill worker on lower
plane of living as a result Of the strug-
gle of national capitalist groups to
dominate the world market for cotton
goods. He will lose his semi-indepen-
dent position and become just one Of
the thousands of exploited producers
in an industry organized, like u. s.
Steel, from raw material to finished
product.
Already Great Britain is using every
resource to stimulate cultivation of
cotton in her colonies and so make
her manufacturers independent Of the
American cotton grower. According
to Edward Bartlett, president New
York Cotton exchange, cotton men
in Liverpool are talking today as if
American supremacy as a cotton
growing nation was a thing of the
past.
America Losing Out.
"a large part of the space in the
Australian building at the British EN-
pire exposition" he says. "is devoted
to cotton exhibit showing the great
strides which have been made in that
country during the past three or four
years. The cotton exhibit is thronged
daily and l hear the comment fire.
quently that the empire would soon be
free from the monopoly of Americans
grown cotton"
Bartlett quotes business men from
South Africa to the effect that cotton
is replacing gold as an opportunity
for getting rich there. Big interests
in johannesburg and other places are
securing options on enormous tracts
suitable for cotton.
Half the Crops Exported.
The Importance to the American
farmer appears when we note that at
least one-half of the crop must be ex-
ported to prevent American cotton
from becoming a drug on the market.
During prewar years the u. S. crop
averaged about 100000 bales. The
earliest figures for amount exported
show 100000 bales in 1913. Even
last year when the boil weeviI had cut
the output to approximately 100000
bales, $4,000 bales were exported.
England has always taken the major
portion.
The great Asiatic market for cotton
cloth is being increasingly served by
the cotton mills of India, China and
japan consuming almost entirely the
raw cotton of India and China.
Reorganize U. S. Cotton Industry.
The British move to control the cot
ton industry from raw m -ial to fin
ished product shows tia the strug-
gle for the world market has reached
its final stages. To meet British com
petition the industry in the United
States will be similarly organized
from top to bottom and American cot
ton growers will become little more
than wage earners in the raw material
department of the textile industry:
For to an increasing extent they can
count on selling their product only as
finished cotton cloth in competition
with the British product. The pres
sure to keep American cotton products
on the market will force lower and
lower costs, at the expense Of the liv-
ing standards Of the cotton producer
as well as the cotton mill worker.

MOSCOW, June 3.-The State Plan
ming Commission (Gosplan) has rati-
fed the railways program for 1923-24.
The estimates provide for $4,000
trucks to be loaded day, compared
with II, 900 at present. Passenger traf-
tic is to constitute 1916 per cent of
the total mileage covered by the rail-
ways. Owing to a rumber of techni-
cal improvements it is possible to re-
duce the total mileage to be covered
by locomotive traffic from 1924 mil
lion miles to 1881 million.

Workingclass Women
Decorate Graves of
Triangle Fire Victims

NEW YORK, June 3.-The victims
of the Triangle fire of 1911, where a
factory full Of young daughters OF
workers were burned to death because
their bosses feared they would steal
yard of ribbon and had locked the
doors upon them, were remembered
on Memorial day by the United Coun-
Gil Of Working Glass Women.
This was the first organized probe
tartan commemoration of the death OF
these victims of capitalist greed since
the year their charred bones were laid
away in the Workmen's circle plot at
Mount Zion cemetery in Maspeth,
L. /.
The commemoration ceremony con-
sisted of laying a wreath upon the
graves in memory of "our class vic
Tins" of the heartless system, and of
speeches by nine women, the commit
tee of the United Council of Working
Glass Women-Jennie Citrin, Sonya
Diamond, Kate Fabricant, Kate Git
low, Eva Horowitz, Rose Nevin, Fan
ME Rossman, Celia Shurr, Resale
Strickholm and Rose Pastor Stokes.
The speeches, in the main, were very
brief, but in them every woman re-
dedicated herself to the cause Of the
working class and pledged untiring eff
forts to awaken to consciousness Of the
struggle every working class mother
she can reach to the end that the sys-
tenn which Expresses and destroys the
workers may go down to defeat in the
victory of the working class.

Strict Communist Wins
At Russian Congress.
Especial to The Daily worker)

MOSCOW, June S.-The Russian
Communist party closed its great con-
ference yesterday after organizing its
campaign for the elimination of pri-
vate trading in the Soviet republic
The results of the conference show
that the party is adhering to its revo-
lutionary principles.
The personnel of the conference
showed the good results of the house
cleaning that has been going on in the
party. Timid Communists, compro-
misers and would-be profiteers have
been driven out. The determined iron
guard of old Communists is in control
of the movement
Independent Of Private Capital.
The party Endorsed the industrial
and commercial policies of the govern
ment, which it controls. Revival of
industry in Russia has made the So
viets more independent of private
capital and concessionaires. In con-
sequnce the Communist party sees the
time is ripe to discard private bust
ness enterprise almost entirely and
enlarge the scope of Soviets enter
prise.
Prices will be fixed and wholesale
trade and private capital will be con-
trolled by the new department of in.
ternal trade. Such limited foreign
concessions as will be granted must
split profits with the government and
be under strict government regula-
ton.
Education Of Peasants.
A whirlwind campaign of Commun-
istic education of the peasantry will
be conducted WIZ all the resources of
the party. Peasant newspapers will
be. started and huge picture posters
will be pasted up in all the villages Of
Russia, broadcasting the programs Of
the party. The poor peasant will be
given every possible assistance in
making him independent Of the richer
peasant who profits by loaning him
farming equipment.
Soviet Russia has weathered the
dangers unavoidable under the new
economic policy which the economic
crisis forced and is marching toward
full-fiedged Communism.

YAKIMA MEN
INSIST ON FAIR
Mr.. Rovig and Mr.. O'Con-
ner Plead for Kenne-
wick Exhibition

The mere fact that the governor
of the great state of Washington has
decided that State Fair shall not
be held this year at Yakima, does
not seem to be serious obstacle to
holding fair in that city about the
regular time. It will not be state
fair as the state is using the money
for other purposes but there will be
real fair in Yakima with races,
exhibitions, bucking contests and pa
rades with all the trimmings on Sep
tember 18, 19 and 90. The Yakima
Commercial club says so and has un-
derwritten the proposition for s10,.
600.
This is the message brought to
,Kennewick by R. o. Rovig and B. l.
O'Colnor of Yakima when they met
with local business men at the Com
mercial club last Monday. These men
are touring the valley from Gle FL
um to Pasco and they hope to have
about twenty towns send exhibits to
their fair. They hope further to have
several conventions at that time and
seem to expect as large a crowd as
usually goes to Yakima during fair
week.
The fair committee has made a
novel. arrangement for the products
display. Instead Of using the regu-
lar building at the fair grounds, the
store windows on the "Main Stem
of Yakima are to be turned over TO
tn exhibitors, each community III the
valley being entitled to whole block
and each community shall draw for
its choice Of blocks. All Yakima
asks is that the communities choose
their blocks and send their exhibits.
Fourteen professional decorators
have been engaged to arrange these
exhibits to the best advantage of
each district.
The local Commercial club could
not promise Mr.. Rovig and Mr.. o.
Conner that Kennewick would send
an exhibit as that matter is entirely
in the hands of the fair committee.
1t is highly probable though that this
community will have a display, as
our fair has already been postponed
until September IL and 13, one week
before the Yakima show, and it
should be easy to select and send our
best products to Yakima at that time.
Furthermore, this community can put
up a diversified display that should
bring home the money. Three hum
dred dollars in cash prizes is offered
for community and individual dis
plays.
