LABOR PARTY
RECOGNIZES
SOVIET RULE
Only Details of Pact to Be
Adjusted Later

LONDON.-The British La
Dor Party cabinet, in a special
communique issued thru the
foreign office, announces that
it has decided to grant full rec
ognition to the Russian Soviet
government as soon as possible.
James O'Grady will be the am
bassador to Russia.
This is the first official act of
the new Labor Party govern
ment and comedies with pledg-
es made during the campaign.
The decision of the Labor
Party government will make
Great Britain the first major
power to recognize the Soviet
government. According to the
Russian Trade Mission, headed by
NJ. Rakovsky, negotiations for rec
ognition had been progressing before
the labor party came into power, but
the death Of Lenin interrupted them.
They will be resumed in few
days to determine a number of minor
conditions bearing on recognition
Rakovsky said he did not believe that
the death of Lenin would have any
effect upon the attitude of the Labor
Party government.

Peasants Block
Roads Leading to
Lenin S Funeral


MoSCOW.-So many thousands Of
peasants are pouring toward Moscow
from all paris Of Russia, to pay
honor to their dead leader, Nicolai
Lenin, that roads and railways are
blocked for miles. 1t became neces-
sary to postpone the funeral from
Saturday to Sunday.
An incessant stream of persons
still passes slowly and reverently by
the simple bier where Lenin lies. To
view the body for a brief instant,
one must stand for hours in line in
the biting cold.
The respects Of the diplomatic
corps, representing countries that
recognize the government Lenin
founded, were paid by Count Borck-
dorf Bantzau, German envoy, who
took his turn in line and reached
the coffin at one o'clock in the after
noon.
In letter to the Petrograd So
Wet, Minister Zinoviev proposed
that the name Of Petrograd should
be changed to Leningrad. The as
sembly carried the motion amidst an
ovation.

WORKERS PARTY
OPPOSED TO ANY
MAY 80 DELAY
Statement Issued on
New Mahoney Proposal
Especial to The Daily Worker,

ST. PAUL, Minn.-William
Mahoney, returning from q
conference in Washington, D.
c., with Senators LaFollette,
Shipstead and Johnson, will
advise the postponement of the
May 80 farmer-labor confer
ence until after the conventions
of the democratic and republi-
can parties. This announce
ment is made in statement to
.he press issued by Mahoney.
1t is believed that his action
will arouse much opposition in
the ranks of the labor and
farmer organizations sponsor
ing the conference.
The Workers Party, which has
taken a leading part in organizing
the May 30th conference. today is
sued the following >..atement on the
Mahoney proposal Of posting the
May 30 meeting:
"The Workers Party is unalterably
opposed to the postponement of the
May Both Conference, for the conve-
nience of politicians who have secured
the high Offices they now hold thru
the support of the farmers and wage
earners.
This, according to. admissions made
by Mahoney. is the sole purpose OF
postponing action-the belief on the
part of the Shipsteads, Johnsons and
La Follettes that a decision will be
easier for them after the capitals,
parties have met, adopted platforms
and nominated candidates.
I'm plain English, these politicians
want to keep the support Of the farm
ers and wage-earners without antag-
onizing their friends in the capitalist
parties.
ITO postpone the May 80 confer
encc at the request Of such hopelessly
timid elements as this would be TO
jeopardize the entire political move
ment Of the farmers and wage-earn-
ers that is crystallizing rapidly into 4
national expression Of these two
groups.

Brilliant Weekly,
The Freeman, to
Appear No More

NEW YORK.-Announcement by
the Huebsch Publishing Company
that the Freeman would be aban-
doned March 5, four years after its
founding in 1920, brought keen re-
gret to radical and intellectual cir
cles.
The magazine was distinguished
for its brilliant ironic comment on
present day affairs and for the in
tellectual courage and clarity with
which it dealt with new movements
in philosophy and literature. Its
own political point of view was that
Of the single tax economist who has
however, no faith in existing politi
cal institutions, and this disillusion-
ment set it strikingly apart from
the liberal periodicals.
The demise of the Freeman is said
to be occasioned by the withdrawal
of the financial support of Helen
Swift Nelson, wife Of one of the
editors. Mrs. Nelson had fulfilled
her original promise to maintain the
paper for three years. 1t is being
retired at the height of its circula-
ton but is not self supporting. The
paper accepted no advertising.

CORONER'S JURY

No Voice Is Raised for
Dead at Pekin
tRr tn. FEDERATED pr.,.,

PEKIN, Ill.-Bouquets for the Corn
Products Co., and verdict attaching
no blame for the Jan. 3 explosion
thatntook az workers lives, marked
the hearings by tire coroner's jury
into the industrial disaster.
No one ventured to push himself
forward against the powerful Stand
ard Oil subsidiary and point out that
the absence of suction fans was
probably the principal element in
the causes leading up to the starch
factory blast. No one called atten-
tion to the fact that since the union
was broken and the open shop insti-
tuted the union precautions against
danger had been junked and deadly
competition for production records
stimulated by the company among
its three shifts.
Instead, one employee was induced
to testify that "as far as he knew
the company did everything possible
to keep the plant cleaned up" 9th
ers said there had been safety first
lectures by company officials and lots
of notices to be careful. The cor
oner's jury found that the men came
to their deaths "as result of burns
and injuries received at an explosion
and fire which occurred at the Corn
Products plant at Pekin, H., on the
morning Of Jan. 8, between the hours
of $3.50 and 4:30 a. m" The blame
is not fixed.
In place Of suction fans in the
plant that would have automatically
eliminated the explosive dust, the
dead employees of the Rockefeller cor
poration will have the benefit Of a
shaft in the center of their burial
plot in the cemetery.
The funeral services were attend
ed by several thousand people.

Grip on tho Delegates
By JOHN FITZGERALD

Cstaa Correspondent q The Daily werfss1
TomIinson Hall, indianapolis,
Imd.-A sensational backdown
Of the Lewis-Murray machine,
which outlawed the Nova Eco-
tia miners for their sympathe-
tic strike in behalf of the steel
workers and their endorsement
O1 the Red international of La
bor Unions, came this after
noon when Vice-President Phil
Murray arose and moved for
reconsideration of the Nova
Scotia issue.
A tremendous volume OF,
ayes greeted the motion. and it
was carried with tremendous
enthusiasm after a speech by
j. J. Watt, of Springfield, Ill.
MasIntyrs Allowed to Speak.
Cheers again greeted the demand
Of Delegate Morgan, Of Nordegg,
Canada, that MacIptyre, the deposed
Vice president Of the Nova Scotia
DISCREET, be given the floor.
The convention brushed aside the
molten Of Chairman Kennedy that
the anti-Nova Scotia resolution origi-
nally submitted be eoneurred in and
MacTntyre mounted the platfrom.
Another ovation came as MacIntyre
began to speak.
Great Threat to Administration.
MacIntyre requested postponement
of the discussion until he secured GER
tain documents which are in Indian
arolis.
The Nova Scotia case is the great
est threat the indianapolis machine
Is facing. The outlawing of the min
ers in this maritime province has
aroused bitter resentment thruout
tha- union tho John L. Lewis boasted
Of his deed at the A. F. of L. con-
vcntion.
MacIntyre and his colleagues are
prepared for the fight. The admins
tration learned that they had state
ment in the printers hands for dis
tribution to the delegates and this is
believed to have caused the back
down in giving them the floor.
The Nova Scotia case is an en-
tering wedge for the coming Howat
fight. In spite of the harrington al
lance John L. Lewis is facing a bat
tie that all his payroll supports may
not be able to win at this convention.
Delegates have been eagerly read
ing the exposures in the DAILY
WORKER.
The Howat Case Comes Up.
The power of the Lewis-Murray
machine will receive its severest test
when Alexander Howat makes his
fight to appebr before the convention.
Enthusiastic Howat sentiment was
shown as the fighting coal digger
himself appeared in the convention
hall. Delegates rushed to his side
and pledged their support.
II have been waiting 20 months
to get square DEAL" said the man
who was kicked out of the miners
organization when he led the great
fight against the Industrial Court
in Kansas. II expect to get It now.
II am demanding nothing but JUS
