The KannaStO Case

The arrest of Mrs. Sauna Kannasto in Hibbing
where she held under $4,000 bail, after she
has been i'll this country for twenty years on a
charge of illegal entry from Canada is an instance
of despicable persecution of foreignborn workers
that is made possible by the immigration restric-
ton act
Mrs. Kannasto was arrested on information
sworn to by counter-revolutionary Finnish i'm
migrant in all probability an agent of the bloody
Finnish government held in power by the allies,
following the overthrow of the Finnish workers
and peasants government by the army of the Ger
man General Mannerheim
BY virtue of the exceptional clauses contained
in the immigration act, which places a premium on
stoolpigeons and their filthy activities, the Amer
lean government has become an agent for every
counterrevolutionary government in the world.
All OF them maintain spy agencies in the United
States and they keep their governments informed
OF the aid given the labor and revolutionary move
ments in the old countries by foreignborn work
ers here.
Whenever they feel it advisable these foreign
governments call for aid from the American de.
partment of labor and justice in prosecuting some
worker whom they want to jail in order to hamper
the relief movements.
If this practice is to be stopped it must be done
first by fighting every of such cases as that of
Mrs' hannastO by all available legal means and sec
ondly by carrying on campaign of publicity and
agitation the laws under which such prosecutions
are carried out.
Surely the American workers, when they under
stand the real meaning of such cases. will not al
low the agents Of other governments to Jail foreign
born workers without protest and action because
they fight for the workers in the old countries
take an active part in the class struggle in Amer
lea and thus give a badly needed intern ational
character to the American labor movement

No Charge for Ladies

Our Italian comrades are giving a
grand ball on Saturday evening, May
%, at the Greek Hall, 722 Blue Island
Ave, the proceeds of which will go
to the fund for making the Italian
Communist paper, II Lavoratore, a
daily newspaper again. II Lavoratore
has been forced to become a weekly
after long financial struggle as a
daily newspaper.
AS daily, going into homes of
Italian workers thruout the country,
II Lavoratore can function far more
effectively for Communism and the
Italian comrades are putting up de-
termined fight to put their paper on
daily basis again.
Comrades come to this ball if only
to lend your encouragement to these
ardent Italian workers. Tickets are
so cents and there is no admission
charge for the ladies. Music is fur
nished by the Giuseppe Verdi orchestra
and the ball starts promptly at p. m.

The Hangmen's Central Committee

We are publishing these days column after column
OF news of the white terror in various countries
and some of our readers may wonder if there is no
other news Obtanable. 1t is probable that some of
them may ask if the amount of attention and
space we are giving to news of this kind is neces-
sary and we reply that because of the small size
OF our paper this news may over-balance other
STORIES but it is necessary that the American work
ing class, and first of all readers the most adj
vanced group of the American working class. be
made thOroly familiar with the almost unbelieve-
able conditions of oppression under which the labor
and revolutionary movement of many European
countries has to struggle
This is the more necessary in that the bloody
hand of American Imperialism. a hand filled with
gold that is distributed to the murder governments
OF Poland, Esthonia and Bulgaria is to be seen
in every one of the attacks upon the working class
OF these nations. We must know exactly what the
American ruling class is doing to our comrades
IN other nations that we may be steeled for the
night against it that we must carry on.
The United States is the center of world reac
ton and we must make it plain that here is located
the central committee of hangmen of the worlds
workers.

The Machinists' Election

William II. Johnston, better known in labor
circles as 'B. and o. Bill has been defeated in the
election in the Machinists Union
This does not mean that he will relinquish his
Office Immediately, but detailed returns are con
elusive proof that the membership has rejected
Johnston by their ballots. What kind of jugglery
will be practiced by the Johnston machine from
now, to justify his continuation in office is
hard to say, but it will have to be of the rawest
kind and evidence is already at hand that fraud
of the most brazen nature has been carried on
The defeat of Johnston means good deal more
than a mere change in the administration of the
uniOn.> Johnston has become the symbol of class
collaboration in the United States and Canada
and his defeat can be interpreted in no other way
than as a reputation of his class peace scheme
We dc not say that the majority of the member
ship consciously recognizes the B. and O. plan as
the co1pany union which it is, but an analysis
of the campaign conducted by the Anderson center
group 81 the union, which was supported by the
left wing shows that of its most telling points
was a danunciation of the bankers and business
men Of which the Johnston group is composed.
The Mount Vernon Savings Bank and Johnston's
connection with it entered prominently into the
campaign discussion and there was evident a
widesprea1 disgust with the nonworking class
character of the Johnston machine
The left wing made its position clear turnout
the campaign. It's election statement made search
ing criticisms Of the Anderson slate and pointed
out its confused and hesitating character The An
derson slate was supported as opposition ticket
and not because the left wing thought it was a
class conscious group expected it wage a mil
liant struggle
1t would be extremely encouraging If we could
say that the defeat of johnson was a sign of real
class consciousness on the part of the majority
OF the organized machinests but this would be un-
true 1t is, however, healthy sign that class
collaboration has not fooled all of the workers
and that the Trade Union Educational League is
building a real left bloc in the metal trades The
vote is the significant in this respect as one
of the principal campaign documents of the John
ston machine was copy of the Trade Union Edu-
cat1onal League statement supporting Anderson.
published in the DAILY WORKER. This was nut

West Virginia and Poland

Two news items from West Virginia show the
direct connection between the capitalists the
various agencies of the United States govern.
ment, the struggle of the coal miners in that state
and the class which in Poland and other
European countries has assumed still more acute
form than here in America.
One story tells of the arrest of $50 coal miners
for picketing scab mine near Fairmont, West
Virginia, the other tells of the closing of the hall
in Benwood where Polish worker was to speak
and expose the murderous acts of the Polish gov
eminent perpetrated labor and revolutionary
movement of that cuntry
The coal miners in Poland have been the target
of especially vicious attacks by the Polish terror
istic government. They have suffered more than
some other sections of the workers because of their
lighting spirit. The House of Morgan the most
powerful section of the capitalist group that owns
most of the mines in West Virginia lends millions
Of dollars to the Polish government so it can con
tinue TO terrorze the workers In the United
States, and especially in West Virginia. the Nor
gan-steel trust group wages the same war on the
workers that its puppet Polish government car
ries on.
The connection between all the robber class could
hardly be much clearer than in this instance The
world solidarity of the working class is the only
effective answer to it,
World trade union unity, in the drive for which
the British mad Russian unions are taking the
lead is the immediate task of all the militant
workers everywhere. Unity of the world trade
union movement against the coal capitalist in
America, unity of the labor movement against the
murderous Polish and Bulgarian governments and
The imperialist governments Of France Great
Britain and the United States this is the need
of the hour and the unity Of the capitalist class

ganization. The plenum therefore
had to pay increased attention to the
purpot of the work of the nuclei in
the West, and to issue a number of
instruction which will make it pos
sible for the leagues to increase the
activity of their members and to give
the daily work of the nuclei a revo-
lutionary purpot which interest broad
groups of the working youth.
The slogan of the Communist Youth
International is: Complete transfer
nation of the leagues into factory
nuclei before the next International
Youth Conference"
The plenum devoted special atten-
ton to the work amongst the youth
in the East. In all the most import
ant countries of the East, Young Com
munist Leagues already exist, and
some of these, especially the Chinese
Monaghan League, have already done
important work in mobilizing the
youthful workers and peasants for the
struggle against feudalism and imper-
ialism. The resolution as to Bolshe-
visation emphasized the necessity of
differentiating our work in the East,
and laid down the concrete tasks OF
the Young Communist Leagues on the
basis of the three different types of
the colonial and semi-colonial coun-
tries.
In recent times, the menshevist
youth Of Germany and of other west
ern countries has developed an in
tensive propaganda against the Len
mist Youth League and against Soviet
Russia, by false statements regarding
the economic and political situation OF
the working youth in the Soviet Un-
ion. The plenum accepted the report
of Comrade Tchaplin, who submit
ted extensive material to the del
egates regarding the actual situation
of the youth, on the basis Of which
all the sections of the Y. G. I. will be
in position to give young menshey-
list organizations the answer they de-
serve. M
The central point OF the attention
Of the plenum was the question oe
feminist education for all sections OF
the Y. C.I. The present political
situation involves great dangers for
the theological clearness OF vision and
political steadfastness OF the youth
leagues and demands a sound the
oretical education not only OF their
functionaries but OF all members OF
the leagues. The plenum passed =
whole number OF resolutions which
represent a guarantee that all Sec
ton OF the Y. c. l.. not only promote
the feminist education OF their MEM
bers but will, in the shortest time.
bring this work up to the desired
level.
Thus the 9Th Enlarged Executive
OF the Y c. |. created the political
and organizing basis for further work
in the Bolshevisation of all sections
Of the Y. c. l., and represents cons
siderable step forward in the develops
ment OF the feminist Young Commun-
list International

carry this through successfully, but
it also arranged an open air meeting,
which was held two days before May
l. This meeting not only resulted
in waking up the workers of the
neighborhood to the significance Of
May 1, but it also resulted in the
formation of another shop nucleus in
neighboring shop Two new com
rades We're brought into the party and
collection was made for the Fret
heit. The nucleus also won a fine
victory for the workers in that they
forced the boss to cease penalizing
the workers for spoiled work, a prac-
tice that had been costing the work
ers several dollars each week.
NUCLEUS NO. 20 also reported
that they had brought all the workers
out Of the shop on May 1, in spite of
the fact that this shop had always
worked on May and in spite of the
fact that there was no union rule in
regard to quitting on May 1.
Other reports of nuclei activity will
be published as they come in. The
remainder of the meeting was given
over to a discussion of belshevizing
the nuclei through educational
methods and plans. 1t is hoped that
by tackling the comrades in the
nuclei, one by one, that they will be
persuaded to give serious study to
Communist theory and nractice as
found in the classics of the party.
