One LITTLE Girl
/. FIGHTS HARD FOR
WORKERS WORLD
Only IS, But She Runs
Her Own Magazine !
BY M. A. sKRoMNY.

In California, the land of lynchings,
neutrality-suspicious. laws and general
labor batting activity, there is a
bright spot, Inglewood, Cal.
In this little suburb of Los Angeles
lives a little girl, just 10, Queen Sill
yer, whose fighting spirit and cour-
age can be an example to many an
older fighter.
For many years Queen Silver has
been giving lectures on free thot and
general subjects. Since size was 8
years of age her lectures were long
ones and would do credit to many an
adult speaker. And she was talking
even before that age!
Only Talks Jesus on Streets.
In Los Angeles she was prohibited
to speak on the streets, and told by
the authorities that children are not
allowed to speak against religion, but
may speak for religion!
Many people who heard about her
began to ask for printed copies of her
lectures, but she did not have the
money to print them. Then some
friends collected fund of about $40
with which she started a quarterly
magazine. In this magazine her re-
markable lectures are printed. It is a
fighting little paper, fighting against
the forces of reaction, superstition,
religion and everything that holds hui
manity in subsection of the dark
forces of mental and physical slavery.
Failure of Christianity.
Here are some of the hot shots from
the last mo. A. issue of Queen Sill
ver's magazine:
Christianity has had almost nine.
teen hundred years in which to try
out its philosophy What have we
as a result? The longest bread lines,
the largest cannons, the most power
full warships, the greatest wars and
the most political grafters ever known.
Let's try something else

Russia Contributes
$4,000 to Starving
Workers of Germany

The Central Committee Of the In
ternational Workers Aid, which has
been conducting a special campaign
for the locked-out miners in the Ruhr,
Upper Silesia and Saxony in defense
of the S-hour day, reports that Russia
leads in the contributions to this spe-
cial fund. They have raised $4,000
gold rubIes in very short time.
The American Committee OF the
Friends of Soviet Ru STA have sent
$4,000 to date and plans to make an
other shipment as soon as a response
has been made to their recent special
appeal
The New York section OF the Inter
national Workers Aid had decided
at its last conference to issue a spe-
cial stamp for the children OF the
Ruhr miners and has already sent
these stamp books to the various or
CARNATIONS. All workers should help
sell these stamps and turn in their
contributions to the local ONCE at
206 East 18th street. Stamps can be
obtained at the Office upon applica-
ton.

They Try to Forget Rank and File Victory :

ne spoke In favor of donating $500 to
aid Tom Mooney.
This is all that happened in the con-
vention according to Lewis. That this
part of the proceeding is uppermost
in his mind is evident by the way the
editorial lies about it. The fact that
delegate after delegate told the con-
vention of the thousands of families
that were starving in their locality,
while the coal operators owed the
miners over S500,0O0.0O in back wages,
was of no Importance to Lewis.
That one half of the mines were
closed and the other half working less
than two days per week, and that
every solution offered by the delegates
to better their condition, to even safe
guard life and limb was either "un-
constitutional" ar alleged to be against
the present three-year agreement, is
Of no matter, the "reds" must be de-
feated, if not in convention-then in
an editorial.
Editorial Silent on Howat.
The editorial does not say that
Lewis and Murray came to the con-
vention to defeat the Howat resolu-
ton, and that in spite of the opposi-
ton of the entire official family, the
convention voted by an overwhelming
majority to demand special conven-
ton to give Howat a fair trial, nor
that the official count was made by
Farrington's tellers. The convention
laughed at the count and wanted to
give harrington roll call but he wise
ly refused.

Loses Job When
Arrested for Film
RUSSIA Germany

AS direct result of his fight for the
right to show the movie Russia and
Germany for the benefit of the Ger
man workers, Morris SCHNEIDER of
Monessen, Pennsylvania, has lost his
job. -
SCHNEIDER, together with Oskar
Okonen and Chas. b. Roberts was ar
rested on June 18th at Monessen and
is now out on $500 bail. The charge
against these ne is "sedition," be-
cause they showed the film which
passed the state board censorship.
Last Wednesday SCHNEIDER was told
by his boss that his services will no
longer be required after July LIST be-
cause of lack" OF work. He states
however, in a letter to the Interna-
tional Workers Aid Committee under
whose auspices the movie was shown,
"of the seven men / am the only one
laid off. but it was expected, so l am
not disappointed, it's all part of the
game"
II takes more than police and other
petty officials to dampen the ardor or
weaken the spirits OF such fighters as
SCHNEIDER. The more their rights are
abridged, the better fighters they
make.

not leave the convention, and Far
rington was afraid to put him out, be-
cause he knew that he stole the vote
and the convention would not stand
for it. Out of 500 delegates about $50
delegates bought the DAILY WORK
Err every day and liked it.
Over 200 delegates voted for labor
party, notwithstanding the official
count of los. Oscar Nelson, Victor
Olander, John Walker, Harrington
and others spoke for more than five
hours against Independent Working
Glass Political Action. Calling Mac
Donald boob" does not alter the fact
that the vast majority of miners in
district IL are for labor party.
The refusal to give financial aid
to the Federated Press was not con-
demnation Of that valuable labor news
agency. The delegates wanted the
money for their starving families, and
there was no danger of the Federated
Press going out of business if they
did not get it. The sentiment of the
delegates was, "Come back next year."
To them it was not an immediate
case. MONEYS case was different. He
was still in Jail. He needed assistance
now and they voted him $4,000 in the
same manner they voted the striking
Ladies Garment Workers $1,000.
Hard to Swallow.
The defeat of the appointive power
was the hardest one to swallow and
the most difficult to explain. It is very
hard to claim a victory after a con-
vention had defeated Harrington twice
upon this issue before he admitted de-

ALMOST EVERYONE NOW

600 of them bearing pictures of VIII
liam z. Foster and C. (. Ruthenberg,
have been supplied to 95 cities and
towns turnout the country. 1926
other towns are yet to be heard
from. It is expected that each of
these 1875 smaller towns will order
and distribute around hundred but
tons each.
New York City got 1900 buttons
at first and ordered 1000 more. They
have already paid in $50 on them.
Chicago has put out $500 and paid
in SIG. Boston got 1000 and or
dered $50 more. Lake County, In

They have paid in So on them al
ready. Minneapolis, Detroit and San
Francisco got 1000 each, eight cities
500 each and the others got 800, 200
and 100 each.
The buttons are very popular and
u is expected that the Labor De-
Tense Council will easily sell the 5o,-
900 that it has made. The buttons
sell for 1oc each and are being used
for tagging at picnics, etc. 1t is ex-
pected that the tens of thousands of
workers turnout the country who
understand the issues involved In
the Michigan Defense will want to
have these buttons during the next
few months, which happens to be
the period of the election campaign.
Workers and liberals everywhere
are asked to buy these buttons in or

speech and free assemblage, for the
freedom of the Michigan defendants
and opposed to the criminal syndi-
ealism laws. Also, in order to help
raise the funds, which are needed

The revolt of the miners against
the betrayal Of Lewis and Harrington
is spreading. Lewis boosted to the
miners in Illinois that he was going to
support the striking miners of District
IS to the limit. All that the strikers
are receiving is $4,000 per week; this
is expected to fed 10000 people. The
miners in district IS are in revolt and
are demanding a special convention,
so that the strike may be carried on
in more energetic and progressive
manner.
Ohio miners in a protest meeting
against the three-year agreement, de-
mand the removal of Kaiser Lewis,
Nova Scotia and Kansas have felt the
mailed fist of this imposter. A provi-
sional government has been placed in
charge of the W. Virginia district. Be-
trayal after betrayal is being recorded
against Lewis, who seems to be deter
mined to rule the miners union or
destroy it.
There is no royal road to happiness,
and the miners have a hard, uphill
battle to fight. It cannot be lodged.
Lewis and his official family must be
removed. Nothing can be done as
long as Lewis, Harrington, ct al, head
the miners union; and they cannot be
removed by merely wishing it. There
is only one way to do it, the left wing
must be thoroughly organized, from
the Communists to the progressives.
That is what the Trade Union Educa-
tional league came into existence for.

CATHOLICS ARE AFTER THE DONKEY

ing the fight for his nomination, ex-
pect he can.
The Reason Why.
What is the purpose of making such
strenuous fight to boost Al Smith
for the presidency unless there is at
least sporting chance to win? For
one thing it helps to batter, if not
break down completely, the tradition
that Catholic can never become
president Of the United States. Most
battles end in compromise, and per-
haps the donkey bosses, who hunger
for the green pastures of Washington,
may be able to agree on ticket with
stalwart Protestant in the lead and
a sterling tho comparatively obscure
Catholic to act as his political altar
boy. In this the Catholic church
would win considerable prestige and
edge her way into the White House.
Powerful Catholic organizations,
whose members vote like robots on
election day are limiting at the need
for a Third Party unless the Demo-
cratic party repudiates the Ku Klux
Khan and the League of Nations. The
organs of these elements are vigorous
in their criticism of Senator t. j.
Walsh of Montana and Phelan of Cali
fornia for putting expediency ahead of
the interests of their religion. The lat
ter do not feel themselves under the
necessity of obeying the Catholic po-
litical machine, tho it is worthy of
note that Walsh of Montana did not
take the floor to defend the Khan reso-
luton on the urgent request of Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo.
Just as Good.
The capitalist class, the dominant
wing of the capitalist class in Amer
lea, look with much favor on the Cath
Ollie church as an instrument for hold
ing the masses in subsection. 1t is a
woodworking machine which oper-
ates with less noise than the vulgar
snowy and brainless Ku Klux Khan
organization. But, under the leader
ship of General Dawes, the open-shop
Mussolini, the Ku Klux Khan may be
disciplined, and Wall Street: which
never puts its eggs in one basket, may
be as well or better served by Ku
Klux Khan, minus it's trailing shirt
tail, as a Catholic machine having its
fountain head in Rome, which is now
menaced by the gcrumbling edifice of
Fascist and threatened with extinc-
ton by the rising spectre of social
revolution.
There is enough religious birthstone
in the Democratic party to split it, and
the soft words of praise uttered by the
official organs of the Ku Klux Khan
about the Republican convention and
the hymns of hate against the Catholic
Democrats may mean that Keep Kool
with Koolidge will, in the coming cleo
ton, be considered synonymous with
Ku Klux Khan.

BY JOHN W. TOMBSTONE.

Three years ago the militants in the
American Labor Movement realized
thru bitter experience how impossible
it was to defeat the powerful reac-
tionary machine, personified by Com
pers, Lewis, Berry and Johnson, with
out organizing their forces and fight
ing as unit. The bitter denuncia-
ton and terroristic tactics used
against the adherents of the T. U. E.
L., shows how well they understand
the strength Of such a combination,
and the influence that it is gradually
getting over the masses.
T. U. E. L.-Fighting Organization.
The T. U. e. L. is a fighting organ
ization and is based upon the class
struggle, recognizing the international
aspect of the struggle. 1t is an adher-
ent Of and affiliated to the Red Inter-
national, joining hands with the revo-
lutionary workers of all countries
whose ultimate goal is Communist
society thru the dictatorship of the
working class.
The T.. u. E. L. fully realizes the
Importance of the every day struggle,
and is in the forefront of all struggles
of the workers. In the mining industry
it wages a fight against the Lewis
Harrington clique on a basis of policy.
1t places a revolutionary working class
program against the class collabora-
ton policy of Lewis. Pointing out
that the immediate demands, neces-
sary as they may be, are only the
means to the end, and are only STEP
ping stones to the final emancipation
of the workers from wage slavery.

his yarn was little different from the
one told in the first trial. One thing
Lennon testified was that the DAILY
WORKER is not sold on the news
stands in Pittsburgh, his place of res
idence. Ex-captain Myers introduced
Lennon as zone who has made a
study of the radical movement in the
United States and has studied the
Workers Party" At the first trial he
asserted that the Workers Party was
the descendant of the communist or
CARNATIONS existing before its organ
ization. The defense will cross exam
inc Lennon tomorrow. Myers read to
the jury a four-page pamphlet en-
titled, Government of the U. S. To-
day. as the program of the Workers
Party. The DAILY WORKER was en-
tered as exhibit by the prosecution.
All of the exhibits placed in evidence
by the prosecution were about the
Workers Party and its publications
and literature.

Count in the indictment against
the defendant, pertaining to member

reads that the member must have

.NNE only needs to glance at the
~ editorial in the United Mine
Workers Journal for June, to see how
keenly Lewis felt the defeat admin
istered to him and his henchman
Harrington, at the Illinois miners con.
vention held in Peoria in May.
The editorial does not deal with
any of the problems that confront the
miners, but merely tries to hoodwink
the readers into believing that the II.
Rnois miners stand solidly with Lewis
and Harrington In less than fifty
words he tries to gloss over the defeat
of Farrington's appointive power,
Boosting that the convention by an al
most unanimous vote expelled the re-
porter of the DAILY WORKER, and
that it was bitter pill for the reds
to swallow when Lewis, Green and
Murray addressed the convention.
The editorial tries to dismiss the
very successful Farmer-Labor Party
convention held in Peoria at the same
time as the convention, by referring
to Duncan Macdonald, the candidate
for President on the Farmer-Labor
ticket, as "boob." The victory OF
Howat was really not a victory, be.
cause it only carried by majority of
80 votes. That the reds" received a
great defeat" when the convention
refused to assist the Federated press
financially and that Harrington
showed how progressive he was when
