This move will be made as a re-
suit of the conferences which Doc

with President Coolidge, Secretary
of State Kellogg and other Off
Gals:
Raising the legation to an en-
bassy directly results from Soviet
Russia sending an ambassador in

Miners Enemies Expose Them
selves

Harrington; president of District II, United Mine
Workers of America makes trip to Chicago The
next day the journal of Commerce publishes an
exclusive story in which it is stated that negotia
tiOns for revision of the existing agreement be-
tween thesunion and the operators are in progress
and that district convention of the miners will
be called to consider the proposals.
This is the first that anyone has heard of the
matters mentioned. Has harrington been plotting
a reduction of wages, dealing with the coal oper-
atOrs' association without the knowledge of the
union?
Again, the Journal of Commerce story contains
an attack on Watt and Thompson, officials of Sub
District 4, whom Harrington is trying to unseat
and expel The mouthpiece of the coal operators
states openly that Watt and Thompson are the
chief obstacles in the way Of 'readiustment" of
wages-the eHphemstic term for wage cut
Here is evidence of something more than sym
pathetic understanding between union officials and
the coal capitalists 1t is evidence of hard and
fast alliance by which the coal operators and their
press engage to fight Farringtons battles in return
for his betrayal of the miners.
The Journal of Commerce story refers to Watt
and Thompson as 'disrupters," but since when has
an organ of the capitalists been hostile to real dis
rupters? The capitalists always welcome anything
and anyone that weakens union and it is obvious
from the tone of the attack on these two militants
that they are disrupting the plans of Harrington
and the coal capitalists, not the union.
This is the reason why the journal of Com
merce, the coal barons and Harrington join hands
in the offensive against them and the fighting pro-
gram which they lay before the coal miners

Polish POgrOns and Their
Supporters

In no country in the world is the muchper-I
secuted Jewish race and other oppressed races as
WE'LL freer from all racial discrimination and safer
from murderous bigots than in the first republic
of workers and peasants-Soviet Russia.
But in no country is the Jew today more per
secuted more liable to the continual peril of in
dividuals or mass murder by religious and racial
and-more particularly capitalist class-enemies
enemies, than in catholic, white guard Poland.
These facts are ought to be so welI-known
that even the most uniformed Jewish worker in
the most remote section of the world, Oughtto com
prehend them.
The Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America
is an organization largely composed of Jewish
workers so predominant in the needle trades. 1t
is largely oicered by Jews whose understanding of
events leaves no excuse for the pogromist speech
of Sam Levin, manager of the Chicago joint board,
before the Polish Local 3S on Wednesday night
1t is the natural duty of a labor union official
having the necessity Of uniting workers of all races
who work in the industry, to consciously combat
racial prejudice and as constantly to incucate the
idea of solidarity between all workers regardless
Of race This is necessity because the capitalist
class deliberately incites racial hatred and nation
alist animosities in order to divide the working
class and weaken their forces
The speech of Sam Levin denounced to the whole
membership of a Polish local union, Fl. Bramorski
as one who had 'insulted" the unspeakable gov
ernment of Poland by taking part in a Communist
demonstration against the murder by Polish police
of two workers and the persecution of Lanzutsky,
the railroad worker member of parliament This
melting of pogroms is direct betrayal of all work
ing class solidarity and direct aid to the capital
list class Bramorski was denounced as an "agent
of Moscow" and as opposed to the Polish govern
ment
The astounding connection revealed between the
capitalist pogromists of Poland and the Hillman-
CahanLevin machine is a matter of interest to the
Jewish workers in the A. G. w. But the racial
phase of the case is far less important than the
fact that labor union official has deliberately in
cited nationalist hatred and prejudice among mem
bers of the union and thereby aided the capitalist
class. The A. c. w. members should make them
selves heard on this ISSUE

HAYWOOD, IN Lux
HOTEL, READS :OF
HIS ADVENTURES
Hard to Keep Up with
American Liars

MOSCOW-(FP)-Bill Haywood is
beginning to find it bore reading
about his perilous and hair-breadth
adventures among the blood-thirsty
Bolsheviki, printed in the New York
Times, Chicago Tribune and other
American capitalist papers. Clippings
have been pouring in to him from all
quarters of the capitalist world. Ths
latest imaginative effort of the Times
and the Tribune described Bills adj
ventures beating his way through tur-
bulent Georgia down into Soviet Ar
menia, arriving starved and in rags
at the foreign mission in Armenia,
begging for a chance to return to the
comforts of Leavenworth.
Ensconced in his armchair in com.
ortable room in the Lux Hotel in
Moscow, Bill reads of the sad story
of his scrap with Zinoviev, who want
ed him to return to the states in dis
guise (can you see Bill in disguise?)
to foment a Negro rebellion. Bill, ac.
cording to the Times, refused to do
such a mean thing to the government
Of his beloved country, and was
promptly kicked out OF his soft job,
his comfortable room, and even out of
the country. Managing, by the skin
of his teeth to reach the mission in
Armenia, Bill announced that he was
through with the Bolsheviks and that
he wanted to return to a white mans
country, even though it be Leaven-
worth.
Like the intelligent readers Of the
American capitalist press, Bill grins.

PLUTES PLUMBER
POST OFFICE WITH
UNCLE SANS AID
Workers S-Hour Day
Goes BY the Board

Without flashing "gat," without
uttering threat of violence, the ad-
vertisement dopesters have for the
past week been robbing Uncle Sans
post office on a scale compared with
which the Roundeut and Leonard St.
mail robberies were pikers' pickings.
To escape paying The higher rates
on circulars that become effective on
April is, these capitalist dope dis
pensers have for the past weeks flood
ed the post Office with millions upon
millions OF circulars that ordinarily
they would have sent at other times,
until the service, the employees, is
straining under this unprecedented
rush.
OF course, this method of doing the
post office out of revenue is perfectly
legitimate. Patriotic? Hardly. But,
then, business is business, and bust
ness knows no patriotism.
In this process the plutes are aided
and abetted by the postal department,
which not only seeks no way of stop
ping this leak, but drains its appro-
priations and human resources work
ing its distributing clerks 2 and 8
hours per shift overtime to dispose
of this flood of dope. AS the men get
no extra rate Of pay for overtime, the
basic eight-hour day is thus practic-
ally abolished for the time being.
Even the night tours (shifts) that ac-
cording to an unwritten law must not
be worked overtime on unimportant
circular mail is now occasionally be-
ing worked 10 hours instead of the
regular eight. And all this is legiti-
mate business on the face of it.

should have become a business man."
He'd be a respectable "citizen" now.

Tho raging with disgust because it could not
secure the passage Of its pet state police BILL the
Chicago Tribune wisely urged its big business sup
porters to back the Barr bill which is not so good
but is step in the right direction.
The Tribune deserves credit for exercising sound
political judgment in this fight for the state cos
sacks, which has been waged by the Illinois cham
Der of commerce representing the employing class
of Illinois, for several years. The main obstacle in
the way of the state police was the opposition of
the organized workers. The labor leaders had to be
placated Governor Small, their Santa Claus was
the only one that could do this. The Tribune rea-
sons correctly from the big business point Of vew
that once the opposition of the organized labor
movement is iquidated thru the surrender of its
official leaders, it will be an easy matter in some
future legislature to amend the Barr bill or intro
duce another bill that will suit the employers down
to the ground.
The labor miseaders, no doubt, will brag that
they won a victory in defeating the Dunlap bill,
which was the favorte of the big business interests
represented by the chambers of commerce. But
how can they explain the fact that the Chicago
Tribune their bette nor, supported the Barr bill as
a step in the right direction?
The fact is that the state cossacks have been put
over very cleverly on the workers of this state,
with the connivance of the labor takers who are
not stupid that they could not see what was be-
ing done, but whose treachery knows no limit.
The action of the labor leaders in supporting
this bin is only additional proof that they have
gone over bag and baggage into the camp Of the
capitalists

The Bulgarian Situation

The inevitable has happened in Bulgaria.
The bloody expressions of the Zankov govern
ment, following the overthrow of the Stambou1isky
peasant regime, have made the workers and peas
ants desperate and the political situation in Bull
garia is a counterpart of that under the czar fol
lowing the revolution of 1906.
The officials of the Zankov government, gener-
ais and cabinet members, make up the most of the
casualties. No one will mourn them except the
allied imperialists who recently allowed these
murderers to add three thousand more degenerates
from the remnants of Wrangels army to the band
of assassins, called the national army.
The bomb explosion in Sofia comes shortly after
the exposure of an international plot, financed
directly by the Zankov government, having for it's
purpose the murder of all the leaders of the Bull
garian workers and peasants and many prominent
officials of the Soviet government Emissaries we're
sent to Italy, London and Moscow to murder Rus
sian ambassadors and Communist leaders The
story of the plot was published by us few days
ago.
Phe Zahkov government not only sent punitive
expeditions into the villages and tortured and
murdered peasants and workers wholesale but had
under way scheme by which opposition members
of parliament were murdered in the streets and
in their homes. Life in Bulgaria for the masses
is a nightmare of bloody horror.
1t is quite obvious now that the Zankov gov
ernment is not going to last for any great length
of time The Bulgarian masses have had long
training in fighting tyranny and the explosion in
Sofia is proof that the terror has not stamped
out the will to fight back
The czar could not kill the will to revolt by
filling the prisons and slaughtering thousands
Neither can the ZankOv government, even tho it
is supported by the social-democrats of Bulgaria
and the allied mperialists succeed in saving itself
from mightier vengeance than that of the recent
explosion

Police Break Up Workers Protest

made an established practice, as by a
slight extension Of application it
could be used to prevent the raising
Of collections for anything which
might not happen to suit the wishes

The local Irish Famine Relief Com
mittee is already wondering whether
the Mccarthy meeting scheduled for
Sunday, April 19, at 2:30 p. M, in
the Laborers' Hall, 1923 Walnut ST.,
will be placed under the same ruling,
thus preventing the audience from
contributing to the relief Of the Irish
workers and peasants.
Berry. when questioned on Tues
day over the telephone, was unable
to make a very clear explanation of
his ruling, admitting that there is no
specific ordinance against the taking
of such collections, but comparing the
collection in this instance with the
selling of fake patent medicine; or the
selling Of poppies on the street by the
veterans organizations.
Moonshine Detecting Department.
He seemed to feel that his action
was necessary to protect the citizens
from being relieved of their money
under false pretenses, stating that he
didn't know whether the statements
as to the situation in Poland are true
or not; he also seemed to be under
the impression that inasmuch as the
meeting concerned a foreign country,
there is something wrong in making
a public appeal for funds. But reason
or no reason, the collection couldn't
be taken.
Cleveland is under the city man
ager form of government, by which
the director Of public safety is ap-
pointed by the manager, and is not
subject to direct removal or instruc-
tion by the city council. Such cen
tralized system to say the least does
not handicap the police department
in it's interference with the rights of
the workers.
A New and Bright Idea.
Abramovich had plenty of police
protection" at his Cleveland meeting;
the Saeco-vanzetti meeting on March
was attended by large squad of
police, and now the department seems
to have developed a new form Of sup
preston, that of interfering with the
raising of funds.
The workers of Cleveland will fight
to the. limit such unwarranted ar
rogance on the part of the police de-
partment. Petitions are out for the
nomination Of Communists as candi-
dates for city council in the 1925 cleo
ton and there will be no hesitancy
in utilizing all the evidence which the
present city administration wishes to
provide, that municipal as we'll as
higher units of government under the
capitalist system are simply agencies
to execute the wishes Of the capitalist
class against the workers. However,
the party in Cleveland does not pro-
pose to allow such actions as this
to pass merely with the pointing of a
moral.

Ill-feeling between opposing attor-
neys broke out heatedly when Sena-

trar of the Great Falls office to the
stand to explain the records dealing
with permits issued to Gordon Camp
bell and his associates by the interior
department to prospect for oil. Some
Of the permits went as far back as
