Chicken thieves invaded the hennery
of Mr. Isaac G.. Cleaver, who resides
on the "Derrickson" farm, 1 ID miles
west of Middletown early Thursday
morning, and after smashing the locks
carried away about 70 fine fowls.
They also visited the farm of Mr.. c.
Lester Cleaver, who resides on the op-
posite side of the road, and entered
his chicken house by breaking the
locks, but were evidently frightened
away before they had sufficient time
to get his fowls, and in their hasty re-
treat left several bags laying on the
floor of the house. Chicken robberies
have become so numerous in this COM
munity during the past few months
as to warrant a concentrated effort on
the part Of our farmers and poultry
men, to form an organization for the
purpose of capturing this bunch of
robbers and sending them to the whip
ping post.

NEW YORK - (By Mail.) - The
right to pray has become a cardinal
right of free speech in the mine fields
at Okmulgee county, Oklahoma, where
striking coal diggers and their wives
prayed for the souls of the strike
breakers who took their places, till
Sheriff Russell, backed by the govern
or's militia, interfered, and the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union has entered
vigorous protest and offered its assist
ance to the union.
Striking miners and their wives and
children, singing hymns, have been
marching to the shafts at quitting
time, praying for the souls of the
strike breakers and asking divine aid
In persuading them to quit their jobs.
Something moved the strikebreakers'
hearts, for many of them quit, and
Sheriff Russell, becoming alarmed for
the success of the operators with
whom he was allied, issued an order
banning prayers. Governor Trap
backed him up with So National
Guardsmen.
The strike began In April when the
operators cancelled the 1924 scale and
substituted the 1917 wages. Twenty
Ave hundred men are on strike.

SOVIET COMBINE
Security" Pact Plot
Matched by England

PARIS, France, Sept. 1.-The Pain
leve government has suddenly taken
a more hostile attitude toward the
so-called security" pact of European
countries, following the speech Of
president OF the reichstag, Paul
Loebe. Loebe declared that the pro-
posed agreement would enable the
Hindenburg government to unite with
Austria, and France could not inter
fere If bound by the league of ma
lions.
The security" pact was proposed to
France in February by the German
government, who, however, received
its inspiration from Lord DAbernon,
British ambassador in Berlin. The
British backed by the Coolidge gov
eminent, plan to overthrow the Rap
allo treaty between Soviet Russian
and Germany, and form a united an
ti-Svoiet bloc.
The Hindenburg government is hop
ing to reopen the eastern frontier
question.

BY A. c. BAILEY, Of the American
Negro Labor Congress, member Of
the local committee, New York City.
THE American Negro Labor Con-
4 gress is accused by Pres. Green as
a Communist movement, and warns
the Negro to stay away especially
those who are member of the A. F.
of L., that if they attend the Congress
Oct. 25th, they will be expelled from
the organization. The Negro should
look upon Mr. Green as a hypocrite
or a lunatic. Since when did Mr..
Green take upon himself to advise
Negroes what to do? For instance, In
these United States when Negroes are
being lynched, jim-crowed and dis
franchised, burned at the stake and
all the rest of the evils, Mr.. Green is
silent.
One of the greatest crimes that
could ever be committed to human
being was committed to Mrs. Turner
in 1918 in the state of Georgia Mrs.
Turner's husband was lynched and
Mrs. Turner said, if she knew who
lynched her husband, she would take
out a warrant for them. A group of
white christians and members of the
upper class were coming from church
in their automobiles caught Mrs. Tur-
ner, tied her by her legs to tree and
poured gasoline on her, then applied
a. match to her clothes. Mrs. Turner
was eight and one half months with
child, she was burned until her abdo-
men bursted and the child fell out
and cried twice. The mob stepped
up and crushed the child's brains out.

STRIKE FOR PAY
RAISE ON COAST
All Races Solid in Fight

BY ToA LEWIS.
Especial TO The Daily Workerl


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. IA strike
Of the walters in the Palace and st.
Francis Hotels, is now in its third
week
Since going on strike the best spirit
of solidarity has been shown not only
by the strikers themselves, but also by
the Chinese and colored workers.
There are about ESQ walters on strike,
and their demands are as follows:
Increase OF 50c on three meal shifts.
Increase OF 45c on two meal shifts.
Increase OF 25c on one meal shifts.
The wages Of the first, previous to
the strike were $3.50. Should they
win their demands, then it will mean
$500 per meal shift.
The wages Of the second category
previous to strike we're $3.50 Should
they win, the wages per the two
meal shifts will be s275. And the
third category now get s1.75 should
they win, then it will mean $500
which is sadly needed.
Chinese and Negroes Aid.
The fight is on and not a break in
the ranks, the spirit OF solidarity be-
ing well demonstrated, as no scabs can
be found among the Chinese or the
c0Iored workers, and the reason is, the
walters here in Frisco never turned
against their fellow workers on ac-
count of race, creed orcolor. On the
contrary, they were always ready to
cooperate with them, realizing more
or less the class struggle, with the re-
suit that they are now getting the
solid support of their yellow and col
ored brothers.
To give you some idea Of the pro-
gressive spirit of the Walters Union,
when the resolutions Hands OF
China, Stand by Russia" was pre-
sented, they voted unanimously for
them. and more. they donated S25 to
the Shanghai strikers, thru the Chin.
csc Union Guild. local Chinese labor
organization.
The Chinese are now holding street
meetings In Chinatown, advising their
countrymen not to scab on their white
brothers.
A steward OF the st. Francis Hotel
tried to engage Chinese bus-boys and
walters. He was turned down cold in
