K. K. K. DEFENSE
RESTS CASE; MAY
co TO JURY SOON
Fist Fight Threat Over
Perjury Charge
Especial to The Daily wOrker)

NOBLESVILLE, Ind, Nov. TO-
After the prosecutions charges that
the principal witness for the ku klux-
ers on trial here for the murder of
Madge Oberholtzer was guilty of per-
jury the defense at 1885 this morn
ing suddenly rested its case.
Rebuttal testimony will begin by
the defense this afternoon and after
that will come the final arguments
of the attorneys and instructions to
the jury by the Judge, when the case
will go to the jury.
This move of the defense will pro-
badly result in the conclusion Of the
case this week.
Late yesterday afternoon, near the
close of the session fist fight was
narrowly averted when the chief wit
ness for d. c. Stephenson, the out
standing klansman of Indiana and
Ohio and his two associates, Earl
Klinck and Earl Gentry, was assailed
by the prosecution as a perjurer.
you know you came here for the
express purpose of committing perjury
and every word you have said on the
subject is a deliberate lie," said the
prosecutor.
The courtroom was in an uproar as
the klansmen became infuriated at
this assault upon their principal wit
ness. The witness challenged the pro-
secutor to come out in the yard and
fight him. The Judge, trying to appear
as dignified as it is possible for a
Hoosier lawyer to be, reminded the
prosecutor and the khan witness that
it was not police court and finally
restored order.

The workers in the anthracite are
determined to win in spite of all the
propaganda on bankruptcy and the
new slogan Of substitutes taking the
place of the hard coal. Every con-
ceivable means are being taken to
break the morale of the miners, but
the progressive miners thruout the
anthracite with the other intelligent
workers are not fooled by this capt.

The hard coal miners are the poorest
paid men in any industry in America

More wealth is produced in the
anthracite mines in one day than gold

BY PAsoUALE RUSSO.

1t is customary, annually, in the
United States to commemorate the
soldiers killed on the battlefields Of
capitalism. AS we know these sol
diers died victims of the two children
of ignorance, fanaticism and patriot
ism. They died fighting the battles
of their exploiters in the vain belief
that they were fighting for their coun-
try which in truth belongs to the cap
italist class.
Knowing these things, workers
should not attend services designed to
laud those who died in the service of
capitalism. To call attention to a
greater service to the country 1t is
suggested that we set aside November
II of each year as a memorial day to
commemorate those soldiers Of the
working class who died in the service
Of working class freedom.
Looking back over the history OF
the class struggle we find that Nov
IL is Redeemed with the blood Of mar
tyrs killed in the service of the work
ing class. To dedicate this day Il
their memory would not only be a
tribute to the great work which they
did but it would hearten those who
remain.
Tragic Facts Of Nov. II.
On November II, 1887 four of oul
noble comrades were murdered In
Cook county jail, Chicago. Theil
names were: August Spies, George
Engel Adolph Fischer and Albert r
Parsons. They fought the McCor
mick family interests and as conse
quence were murdered, true martyrs
to the cause OF working class enamel
patton.
In November, about the same tim'
in the month, Joe Hill the famous
wobbly poet was brutally killed il
the penitentiary at Salt Lake City
Utah A bit earlier in the same
month FIVE valiant workers were killed
by agents of the lumber trust in thu
state of Washington. They gave
their lives for the right Of free speech
and the right to organize the workers

Workers Memorial Day

They were Felix Baran, Hugo Gerlot,
Gustav Johnson, John Looney, Abra-
ham Rabinowitz. This massacre took
place in Everett, Washington, Novem-
Der II, 1919.
On the evening of the very same
day at Centralia, Wash, Wesley
Everest, an American logger was
lynched by a mob of 100 per cent
American rufTians for having valiantly
opposed the nefarious designs of the
lumber barons.
Reminding ourselves of these events
it becomes our duty to commemorate
the acts Of our valorous comrades who
died on the firing line in the war
against the despotism Of capitalism.
ORGANIZED
Joe Hill, one of the above mentioned
martyrs said: Don't mourn for me,
but organized" Advice such as that is
valuable. Merely shedding tears will
get us nowhere. But we can recall
their heroic deeds and give them
their measure Of due respect by fol
lowing their example in uncompromis'
ingly fighting the capitalist class. To
carry the class struggle forward; to
prepare for the battles Of the coming
social revolution, this is our task. BY
presenting a united front to the en-
envy; by giving blow for blow is a
valiant way to commemorate Workers
Memorial Day.

FURRIERS' LEFT
Wing BATTLES
KAUFMAN GANG
Wins Victory as the
Contention Starts
tspeoIaI to rhe oaIIy workerl

Especial to The Daily Worker)
BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 1o.--The left
winpers struck a militant note at the
opening Of the Furrlers' convention
by compelling the removal Of seab-
binq taxi cabs and exposing the kaut-
man machines attempt to unseat
three left wing delegates by maneu'
vers on Colds credentials.
Hit seab Checker Cabs.
The left wing opened their fight
against the bureaucratic kaufman
machine with victory on an issue
which symbolizes the fight of the left
wing against class collaboration. The
convention is being held at the Amer
lean House. Sc Hanover street, where
the Checker cabs, now on strike,
maintain a stand.
Cabs were being operated by scabs
under protection of police headquar-
ters. The left wing Immediately de-
handed that the convention change
it's headquarters and even move to
another city if scab taxi cabs were not
| removed at once.
Kaufman hemmed on the issue and
declared it impossible to change, rul-
ing all motions on it out of order. But
upon ultimatum Of Ben Gold Of New
York joint board, that the New York
delegates would not remain in con-
Vention under the circumstances,
Kaufman was compelled to appoint
committee to investigate, adjourning
the convention meanwhile.
The cabs were removed and the
convention proceeded after two
hours fight
Kaufman opened with talk of his
successful work, but his remarks
were the joke of the convention be-
cause he discussed every place but
New York, where eighty per cent Of
the members are located and where
real organization is being done by the
left wing Joint Board.
The credential committee brot in
majority and minority report. The
majority Kaufman machine appointed,
moved to seat 20 delegates and unseat
three left wingers on the ground
that they had not paid up their dues
in proper time.
This attempt was exposed when
right wing secretary Weiness who
charged that dues payments we're
lacking in October, declared unwit-
tingly that the International once did
not have the October report Of the
New York Joint Board
After this admission of the yellow
SOCIALIST bureaucrat, the machine pro-
posed that the Joint Board bring re-
ports which will decide the seating Of
the contested delegates. These will
probably be seated as the records Of
the Joint Board are correct.
The machine is resorting to man.
euver to postpone discussion on the
Ben Gold credential of the Joint
Board by declaring they will issue a
supplementary c. e. B. report on the
question. But the left wing will make
determined fight to have immediate
consideration.
The line up at this moment is not
decided. There are twenty-five out
spoken left wingers who may COM
mand support of other anti-machine
delegates and make up slight ma
jority of the convention. The debate
on the seating of delegates and Colds
Joint Board issue will continue to-
morrow.

to his being seated, and sufficient to
disqualify him under the constitutions
al rule that to be eligible as delegate
a member must be in continuous good
standing for is months. To be in con-
tinuous good standing, it was pointed
out, one must not have allowed his
dues to become over sixty days in
arrears.
In his defense Lamson pointed to
the calendar and it's illustration of
the fact that January has 81 days but
February had only 2S-and as it was
not leap year he would not be over
sixty days in arrears until after the
second of March, the day on which
he paid up, had passed into eternal
time.
Do WobbIy Secretaries Sleep?
The debate then turned on whether
he had paid his dues before or after
midnight on March second, and tho il
is unusual for l. w. w. secretaries to
do business after midnight, and altho
Lamson asked for the floor to put his
side of the question, he was ruled
out by a vote of six to five, again
missing out by narrow margin.
A resolution presented by the small
industrial union convention was brot
Iup. It was very brief and contained
the following resolve:
a. that there is no conflict
between the principles of proIetar-
ian revolution and the principles Of
Industrial unlonism as set forth by
the |. w. w."
A motion not to concur with this
was debated. 1t appears that in the
small industrial union convention &
resolution was offered by ALFRED
Kohn, manager Of the !. w. w. print
ing plant which said that:
"The |. W. w. is primarily revo-
lutionary organization and only sec
ondariIy a labor union"
The resolutions committee, t
which Harrison George had beer
elected by the small industrial unior
convention, had unanimously propos
ed the substitute of mo conflict
given above. The small industrial
union convention had accepted thii
substitute of its committee almos
unanimously
Is the |. w. W. a Political Party?
But apprehension existed. Harri
son George being on the COMMITTEES
the words of a resolution handled b!
it might not mean what they appear
ed to mean. Some of the delegates
to the general convention took th'
point of view that they didn't NEAR
anything at all. No one appeared t.
wish to say what they meant.
A debate on revolutionary prin
ciples was avoided. The resolution
declaring that there sis no conflic
between the principles of proletariaI
revolution and the principles of in
dustrial unionism as set forth by thu
IT, w. W." was voted down, indirectl!
unfolding the views of the motion il

was that the l. w. w. is a politica

Moved to Referendum
tspseial TO The Daily worNer)

SEATTLE, WASH, Nov. 1o.-The
Seattle Painters Local No. 800 once
more administered the conservative
element in that union a terrific blow
when by a vote ON more than four to
one II decided to submit for refer
endum vote Of the international the
striking out Of clause in the eonstI-
tuition adopted in the last convention
held at Montreal.
This clause, while it is weak and
meaningless, nevertheless smacks as
being originated in class collabora-
ton paint shop and, moreveor, 1t has
a dangerous feature in it, as it tends
to divide the membership according
10 their political opinions, while at
the same time it puts a club into the
hands Of the oficialdom to be used
against all progressive elements and
all opposition to the official machine,
including Communists.
Conservatives Caucus
For weeks the conservative ele-
ments in the local union have been
busy rallying their forces to defeat
the resolution submitted, thinking that
by such an accomplishment they
would hurt the standing of two prom
inent leaders in the local labor move
ment and in that body.
The resolution follows:
WHEREAS, This amendment if
allowed to stand and be put into eff
feet can and will be used to expel
any member who is opposed to class
collaboration and advocates united
and militant action by the workers
against the bosses; and
Oppose Persecution
WHEREAS, This amendment
makes possible the persecution and
expulsion of members who are not
only complying with the laws of the
union but who also worked tireless-
" for the upbuilding and betterment
of the organization for many years
merely because of their political opin'
ions and affiliations; and
WHEREAS, This amendment not
only discriminates against members
because of their political views, but it
also intimidates members by fear OF
expulsion so that they dare not ex-
presses their convictions on import
ant questions pertaining to the union
in contradiction to ideas and wishes
of the oficialdom, thus creating gag
rule; and
Officials Disrupt the Union.
WHEREAS, The effect of this
amendment when enforced will be to
divide our members instead of solidi.
flying and uniting us in a common
struggle for the better things or life;
therefore be it
RESOLVED, That Local Union No
300 most emphatically disapproves
and condemns this amendment be
cause it is contrary to our right OF
free speech and minority expression;
it gives the officialdom weapon by
which they can suppress any one op
posing their rule"

mascus and the territory between
that stricken city and Hons, extending
even into Aleppo. Another grim chap
ter to the bloody crimes Of the French
occurred at Damascus on Sunday when
three 6edouins were publicly hanged
by soldlery in a public square and left
suspended in the air for hours while
the crowds mlIed in the streets read
ing the placards that were attached
to each Of the bodies warning the pop
uIation that such would be the fate of
all who did not submit in silence to
the terror.
One placard read: "If more French
Officers are attacked you will hang
like clusters of grapes from every
public place in Damascus" Damas-
Gus is still city Of death and there
is no sign of life except the sharp
tramp of the feet of soldiery and the
occasional fusilade of bullets as now
murders are committed against the in
habitants of the city.
Battle Raging.
This morning there is battle raging
in the section between Damascus and
HONS where French cavalry have en-
gagged a part of the republican army.
French troops have been roaming the
country pillaging the farms, stealing
and butchering sheep and other live
stock, burning food provision houses
and endeavoring in every manner to
destroy the rations that might be
available for the Syrians and Druses
fighting against imperialist aggression.
Tanks, cavalry, light and heavy ar
tillery, instruments for hurting liquid
fire and poison gas equipment have
been sent out of Damascus to meet the
rebels and the French boast that they
hope within the week to destroy the
rebels.
Burn Villages.
In their campaign of ruthlessness
the French are burning villages and
numbering men, women and children
Wholesale, while thruout the whole
countryside between Damascus and
HONS groups of homeless families are
lforaging without food and sleeping
in the open at night, only to aimlessly
wander onward the next day-whither
they know not.
Efforts are being made by the
French to throw a line between Syria
and Arabia in order to stop the desert
people from swarming to the aid of
the rebels. Reinforcements from
Morocco are expected to arrive and
will be used for that purpose.
Rebel forces are modifying for sec
ond attack within the week in an eff
fort to. dislodge the French troops
from their base of supplies in Damas.
Gus.
The rebels have destroyed railway
bridges in order to prevent the French
troops moving over the lines, thereby
hampering the activity of the invaders
After cutting the railways Druse tribes
men succeeded in Selling Derat
(Deraya, about seven miles south OF
Damascus) and will try to concentrate
forces for an offensive against the
southern part of the city where the
French are encamped.
