KLAN ORGANIZES.
IN CANADA TO
FIGHT WORKERS
Refused Charter, Then
Changes Its Name

TORONTO, Canada, March 3-The
ku klux khan has definitely organized
in Canada. The khan Of the United
States applied to the provincial secre.
tAry Of Ontario for charter but it
was refused.
The Wall Street interests which
were glad to see the khan flourish in
the United States, however, were per-
Sistent and will apply for a chatter as
a separate Canadian organization, un-
Ter the name Of the ku klux khan of
kanada. There is little doubt here
that the ''kanadian khan" will receive
q charter, as some Of the most promi-
nent politicians, lawyers, real estate
sharks and business men are behind
the organisation.
The two capitalist Toronto papers,
the Telegram and Star, consistent
with their policy of fighting workers
organizations, are aiding in the i'm.
portation OF the khan from the United
States. They print pictures of khan
costumes and khan gatherings, and see
to It that the khan receives wide pub
licity.

vERAIN MEMBERS
GIVE lie TO The
YELLOW FORMAL
Say They Gave Nothing
to the Socialists

Members of the Krinker Untersh.
tutzing Verain branded the socialist
Jewish Forward as a liar, and denied
story that appeared in the front
page of the Forward on Feb. 26. They
declare that the Forward was not
telling the truth when it stated that
collection Of S2400 was taken for
socialists new held in jails in Soviet
Russia for opposing the workers gov
eminent
The Forward took issue with the
report in the DAILY WORKER, which
told how friends Of the menshevik,
Raphael Abramovich, were denied
money by the Verain when they at
tackled Soviet Russia and appealed for
funds to support the mensheviks in
Russia.
"The Verain had decided not to
take any money from the treasury for
certain reasons" the Forward report
said. The yellow socialist sheet, how
ever, failed to say that these reasons
were that the Verain refused to sup
port the enemies of Soviet Russia.
"A collection of S24OO was taken.
the Forward adds. This statement,
members of the Verain declare, is a
direct lie. No collection for the Abra-
movich crowd was taken at the meet
ing. Members of the Verain who
have directly given the lie to the trail

Forward, include, S. Sonovich. r. A.
Bronshtein, H. Tikotzky NJ. Tikotzky,
A. Tikotzky, H. s. Hymen, S. Sanler.
and, S. Greenberg. They have signed
a statement exposing the treachery of

facts of the meeting, as they were re-
ported in the DAILY WORKER.
They declare that no collection was
taken at the meeting, and the Verain
refused to aid the political prison
ers" in Soviet Russia who are plotting
against the workers and peasants
there and who are opposed to the
workers Soviet state.
They declare that even after the
meeting of the Verain was over, no
collection was taken for the yellow
socialist committee.
The Forward has further exposed
its perfidy by defending the enemies
of Soviet Russia, even when it was
compelled to descend to the use of
filthy lies.

Vile CONDITION
OF CHILDREN ON
TOBACCO FARMS
Union Agent Tells of
Slavery and Filth
BY H. SIDNEY BLOOMFIELD

BOSTON, Mass, March aside
from the economic exploitation, the
employment Of children on the tobacco
plantations in the Connecticut Valley
district has brot about "disgraceful
immoral conditions;" it was charged
at the hearing before the legislative
committee on labor and industry on
the bill to prohibit the employment of
children under IA years of age on
tobacco 4piantations.
The labor laws Of the state have
exempted agriculture from the child
labor laws, so that children even as
young as 9Sand 10 years are employed
in the tobacco fields. Small boys and
girls are thrown together without re-
gard to the elementary codes of dec.
ency.
There is no provision for the vel
fare of these child slaves who arc
toiling under the most miserable and
even sexually vulgar conditions.
Charles Hodson, legislative agent of
the Massachusetts state branch of the
A. F. Of L. said conditions in the in.
dustry were so bad from a moral
viewpoint that they could not be dis
cussed in an open meeting before the
legislative committee.

Works in Freight House.

To the DAILY WORKER: Lately
l have been working in the Illinois
Central freight house on South Water
St., Chicago. The truckers get 4S cents
an hour, the stevedores Chose who
load the cars and see that everything
is packed right for shipment) get so
cents an hour, the callers Chose who
unload the cars, piece by piece onto
the hand trucks and call out the case
number and destination of each piece
while so doing) get 81 cents, and the
checkers Chose who check the work
up on the bills, act as a clerk for each
gang and give the car number where
that piece of freight is to be left get
So cents an hour.
The one-time fourishing union Of
freight handlers seems to be nearly
dead here; those who have been mem
bers at one time and have dropped
out, say, why pay dues, we get moth
ing in return?" We are not working
there today because it is a holiday,
and the men seem to have solidarity
enough to want time and one-half for
holidays, which the company refuses
to grant, so no work is done.
Our wage this weeks as truckers
will amount to ,$1S in place of s23.
OF course, with, such wages the men
don't feel Obliged to be particularly
careful of the, freight and the way

Strengthening of Russia's position on
the Pacific, especially because of the
restoration Of Russian privileges on
the Eastern Chinese railway. He
adds:
THE treaty has even greater signi-
ficance for Japan than for Russia. The
threat Of Japanese isolation is ended
by the presence Of power friendly to
Japan on the Asiatic continent. What
the Russo-Japanese treaty means to
the Japanese is proved by the indie

when the treaty became known there.
England and America no Longer Boss.
Russia is planning economic coop.
Grafton of vast scope with Japan
which will allow us to develop our
productivity and supply Japan with
Russian raw material, so she will not
fall into complete dependence upon
America and England.
Reports from America show that
Americans realize the disadvantages
from lack Of relations with
Russia. These reports also voice Am
erican fears that Russo-American ne
gotiations may be as long and difficult
as our negotiations with Japan. AS a
matter Of fact, however, Russia is not
separated from America by so many
obstacles as was the case In the Rus
so-Japanese negotiations.

IF America will begin to under.
stand that Russia's internal social
structure is the Russians own affair.
wherewith America must become re-
conciled, then there will be no further
obstacles on the road toward a Russo
American understanding"
Karakhan adds that Russia granted
Japan no special privileges regarding
concession on the island of Sakhalin
such as Japan demanded at the out
set of the negotiations, but compelled
Japan to conform in general to the
regulations adopted by Soviet Russia
in granting concession to foreigners.
5essarabia Only Land not Won Back.
Another significant point about the
Russo-Japanese treaty, aaccording to
Karakhan, is that, ins restoring SAX
hahn to Russia, the treaty restores to
the latter the last piece of territory
torn from her except Bessarabia. Re-
garding the letter Karakhan says:
When it is borne in mind that JAP

to Russia it is probable that Rumania
