SHUTDOWN USED AS THREAT
STATE PoIIee EnfOrce open Shoe.

State Police Enforce Open Shop.
ruthless open shop policy has al
ways been. pursued by the McKees
Rocks Pressed Steel Car company. Its
own police force is ever ready to bat
tie with disconnected workers and the
state police ready to help whenever
necessary. That was amply proven
during the strike of 1909 when a num-
Der of workers were killed. At the
end of the last strike about month
ago the company was compelled to
again reinstate men who had been
discharged and participated in the
strike. 1t succeeded however in vic
timized one of the most active mill
tants of the strikers who was elected
chairman of the strike committee and
when reporting back to work was told
that he would never be given work at
that plant. Now the shutdown will
be the best means of the company to
put into effect its desire for vengeance
upon the workers who expressed dis
content in the past.

LONDON. June 2s.-Greece may go
down in history as having established
a new style in revolutions unless the
ousted statesmen change their minds
and try little blood emission, so that
their successors will not run away
with the idea that violnece as an in
evitable accompaniment Of revolution
is a thing of the past.
The change in rulers came about as
peacefully as an election of officers in
a Rotary club. brand new cabinet
was sworn in and everything is all
set for the next revolution.

Some time ago an order placed by

40 cents per car, 81 cents for filters,
and "a cents for heaters. With the
next order from the Norfolk & West

reduced to 3S cents per man riveters,

unions. The members of both organ
izations are losing wages because
their leaders cannot agree. AS usual
the rank and file suffer. The officials
of course draw their fat salaries.
THESE are not strikes against the
4 employers. If they were it is quite
likely that the leaders would be break
ing their necks sending the men back
to work. AS it is when they made a
bluff at seeking settlement, who do
you think they picked out for an arbi-
traitor? None other than Secretary of
Labor James j. Davis, one of the scab-
best lickspittles of capitalism in the
country. The Plasterers' Union has
10000 members while the Bricklayers
have 10000. Both are affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.
A T the convention of the Bricklay-
1 \ ers Union, held last year, a resolu-
ton was passed branding the Plaster
ers' Union as a dual organization and
urging the amalgamation of both. The
idea is good, but the way to go about
amalgamation is not by making war
on the plasterers. The proper thing
or both organizations to do is to get
.ogether in joint conference without
recriminations and make an honest
attempt to bring about unity thru
amalgamation. There is plenty of
room in one organization of the two
trades for the necessary officers Of
both.
TT is no exaggeration to say that
L craft unionism and dual unionism
are among the two greatest evils that
curse the trade union movement of
this country. And the reactionaries
are not the only ones responsible.
There are some radicals or alleged
radicals who have the virus of dual
unionism so deeply ingrained in their
systems that they cannot tolerate the
necessarily slow process of educating
the rank and file of the craft unions
to the necessity for greater solidarity
thru amalgamation.
THEY call the members of the
L unions "dumbells" and the leaders
worse than that 1t is true that most
of the leaders are takers, but they are
leaders and must be reckoned with.

London is Uneasy.

LONDON, June %. II Financial
circles here were of the opinion that
the imitation of the currency by six
billion paper francs will not add to
the stability of French finances. tho
it was admitted the Caillaux move
would prevent more serious crisis.
British politicians are not at all
pleased with the developments which
have returned Caillaux to power and
they fear that his success in putting
thru his financial program will give
him prestige in France which bodies
i'll for British diplomacy on the con-
tinent.
1t is no secret among foreign Office
circles that Caillaux's conception of
a Franco-German alliance as solu-
ton of the European problem is en-
tirely distasteful to British diplomacy.

FRANCE VOTES
TO PRINT SIX
BILLION FRANCS
Caillaux Puts Bill Thru
By Threats


PARIS, June 2S-With only the Com
munists voting in the opposition,
Finance Minister Caillaux put his
fiscal program thru the chamber of
deputies by a vote of $50 to "a. The
main body of the socialists decided
to abstain from voting.
Caillaux's program was supported
by the national bloc, his most bitter
enemies politically and in fact
physically, for it was the leaders of
this same bloc that tried to send him
before a Vincennes firing squad for
pursuing the same diplomatic policy
during the war, that he is now on the
road to realizing.
Scared the Opposition.
The bill authorizes an increase of
5000, 100000 francs in currency. The
government frightened the opposition
into voting for the financial program
without murmurs by the threat OF
closing the Bank of France on Mon
day unless the Caillaux plan wen
thru.
A financial disaster in France il

mean chaos in Europe and the ex
plosion of the Dawes plan. 1t is re
ported that in view of this possibility
the American government used its in
fuence with the national bloc to lei

/ and file by leaving the unions and
bowling like hungry timber wolves on
the outside, or by leading few pure
radicals into some sanctifed corral
that is dignified by the title of union.
We have seen enuf of this kind of
strategy and it has been a dismal fail
ure.
THIS is not the only country where
= dual unionism and craft unionism
have brot disaster to the workers.
Tho England is making strides to-
wards amalgamation, even with the
active and sincere support Of the lead
ers Of the official labor movement, the
progress is slow and jurisdictional
strikes occur. In Ireland the same
malady is prevalent, tho the Irish
Transport and General Workers
Unions takes in all kinds of workers,

powerful labor organization in the
country.
DUT last year, section of the or
- ganization in Dublin seeded and
formed rival union. Since then
several turisdicitonal strikes have
taken place, with both branding the
other side as scabs. According to a
story of recent strike there, when
the members of the Transport Union
went out, the boss filed their places
with scabs. An organizer for the
rival union came along and gave the
scabs membership cars in his organ
ization. Then the boss threw out his
chest and said his strikebreakers were
union men and the members of the
Transport Union could do as they
pleased.
OUCH incidents are by no means
- rare in the United States, tho ii
is seldom that radicals are guilty of
like conduct Even the most inveter.
ate dualist in this country would hest
tate long time before committing
such a crime against working class
solidarity. Reactionary labor leaders
have no regard for the welfare of the
rank and file. Their actions are de-
termined by their own interests
Hence it is futile to expect them to
take the initiative in bringing about
amalgamation. This is the task of the
rank and file led by the progressives
Not only must the progressives sup
ply the rank and file with a program
but they must also supply them with
leadership.

CHINA'S fight
ON IMPERIALISM

Czarist Refugees Used

Especial to The Daily wOrker.)

N0FGStut ~ NV HoHJ NNSANSAb
PICKING, June 2s.-The agitation
against domination in China is on the
increase, according to reports reach
ing here from all parts Of the eoun-
try. The national struggle is under
the guidance Of the Kuo Min Tang,
which has not lost its grip on the
masses thru the death of Sun Vat
Sen, as the imperialists fondIy ex-
peeted.
Tho the American government has
hesitated to interfere to any great ex-
tent in the present crisis, American
business men in China, at the solicit
tation of British agents are making
frantic efforts to induce the Washing
ton government to adopt drastic
measures. The American chamber of
commerce in Hankow, adopted a reso-
luton condemning the statement
made by Senator Borah, which urged
the dropping of extra-territoriaIity
laws and favored the treatment Of the
Chinese on an equal basis with other
nations.
ImperaIist Diplomacy Clashes.
While it is believed Borah would
not make such statement without
the sanction Of the state department,
the British believe their influence at
Washington is strong enough to in
duce the Coolidge government to
adopt an attitude towards China SINH
lar to what Kellogg adopted towards
Mexico.
Neither the American nor the jap
anese government have so far show
ed any intention Of pulling the Bri-
fish chestnuts out of the fire. Japan
is deeply involved in China, but her
diplomacy has left England the task
of doing most of the dirty work,
while the Mikado's government has
confined itself to making protesta-
tions of friendship for the Chinese
people. What the big powers may
do later on is a matter for history
to record and not for prophecy.
Shot by Foreigners.
France is demanding an indemnity
of 100000 for the life of French
citizen who was killed during the
recent hostilities in Canton. AS it
was proven that the initiative in the
shooting came from the French and
the English, the Chinese government
will be able to present a counter
claim that will more than balance
. that of France.
Another development which is caus-
ing considerable comment here, is the
right-about-face of the Christian mis-
sionaries who at first blamed the
shooting in the Shameen settlement
in Canton on the foreigners. Under
pressure from the British they now
changed their testimony and now
blame the Chinese.
