zANKOV PLANS

INDULGARIA
Will Murder JGiIe d
Communists
lspeeIaI q rhe 0aIIy workerl

ASPGStdt " t'~ 10y w. NSfI
MOSCOW, u. S. S. r. Dec. 24.-The
working class press Of Europe Is
sounding the alarm amongst the work
ers in connection with the threaten
ing news from Bulgaria on the revival
Of the wave of terror by zankOv. Di-
mitrov writes in the Pravda that un-
der the pressure o. the world prOIe-
tariat and Of weItknown scholars and
intellectuals, the Bulgarian govern
ment has been compslIed to postpone
the carrying out Of several death
sentences.
At present, all signs point to the
fact that the Bulgarian fascists are
only awaiting a suitable moment in
order to slaughter the political prison
ers. Fascists are being engaged as
wardens in the prison at Sofia. The
aim is to engineer an attempt" to
escape; provoke panic in the pris-
on, and then under cover Of the con-
fusion to wipe out" the best COM
rades.
Among these comrades whom they
plan to murder is Kabatchieff, who
has been in prison for two and half
years. He was one of the founders
Of the Comintern and is a member
Of the central committee of the Bull
garian Communist Party since 1923.
The hangmen at Sofia have long want
ed to get rid of him. His name was
TIE first on the list following the ex-
plosion in the cathedral. His life was
only saved by the fact that delega-
ton of BRITISH narliament members
was IN Sofia dt s time and wanted
to speak with him. The zankov band
its are looking for an opportunity to
murder this leader of the Bulgarian
party.
The vengeance of the Bulgarian
bourgeoisie extends also to the chill
dren of the political prisoners. Thous-
ands of homeless children, whose
parents have been murdered, arrested
or expelled are subjected to the pangs
of hunger. All material help for these
children is regarded as high treason.
The international Red Relief has been
declared an illegal organization and
participation in itsaactivities is punish
ed with death. Money collected by
the English women's committee and
sent to the American missionary in
Sofia, Mr.. Markham, mas been con-
fscated and handed over to the Red
Cross for distribution among the
generals killed in the Sofia explosion.
Four thousand Bulgarian workers
and peasants exposed in the prisons
to inhuman tortures, thousands of
Bulgarian emigrants, appeal to the
international proletariat to act ener-
getically to save the lives of those
sentenced to deaths to stay the hand
of the executioners to save the life of
the old leader. KabaJscnleff. and to
save the lives of thousands of help
less children.
Only immediate International action
can save their livesl

REPORT Lewis
TO TALK PEACE
ON ANY Terms
EUen Pinchot Plan to
Be Strapped

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Dec. 24.-Ac-
cordine to reports in circulation here
tonight, John L. Lewis, president Of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, this afternoon wired Mayor John
0urkan that representatives of the
striking anthracite miners viii meet
the coal operators and discuss any
plan proposed to settle the strike.
Progressive miners see in this move
a new step toward complete surrender
and betrayal by Lewis of the anthra-
cite demands.
The message was in reply to tele-
gram from Mayor Durham, asking
written assurance that the miners
would consent to discussing any plan
of settlement and not be bound solely
to Gov. Pinchot's recent proposals.
The operators had demanded such as
surance before they would consent to
meeting the miners representatives.

XII KLUX KHAN
!. IS PILLORIED IN
PROFESSIONAL
Studio Players Will
Stage Great Drama

All strikes are interesting but none
more so than a strike of miners. 1t
is very seldom that any working class
propaganda sneaks across in a play
that has had a good run in the regular
theaters, a play which has been Iaud-
ed by the critics and really appreci-
ated by the audience. Such a play, II
is declared on good authority, is "Pro-
eessional."
The play, which deals with the
miners strike, as we have already
intimated above, opens with the
miners at ease during the first days
of the strike. But their solid front
brings the militia to the fore. The
Labor Temple is occupied. The inn
prisoned strike leader manages to
break out Of jail and in a fight he
kills a militiamen, over which the
strikers fail to mourn.
At his mothers home, where he has
sought refuge, the ku klux khan and
the sheriffs come to hunt for him. He
is finally captured and blinded. The
last act, a masterful scene, shows the
miners desolate: hungry, their homes
burned by the klansmen. The klans.
men finally sell the miners by getting
the names of the most rebellious
strikers with the announcement that

The seventh congress Of the ALI
Russian Union Of Metal Workers

lions against them collectively.
Curiously enough the problem which
called forth their greatest attention
was the increase Of production in the
metal industry. Despite the huge pro-
gress made last year in the field of
production there is a goods hunger"
in the country, particularly in metal
goods. So great is the demand for
goods that the government has de-

Oily Hypocrisy.

All observers are greatly amused at
the fact that in the debate over the
mandate in the house of commons, the
word "oil' was used only twice. And
that was in a hypocritical denial, dur
ing which Premier Baldwin said:
mo interest of any sort connected
with oil influenced the policy of the
government. If oil was discovered in
appreciable quantities. it would bring
development and revenue to the coun-
try" Meaning Irak.
Where the ticklish situation of the
French comes in is in the statement
of Great Britain that France and other
league members must get out their
guns if the Turks refuse to permit the
Mosul robbery. England really de-
mands this as price for British per-
mission to France for an International
army for the league of nations.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-12-27
An international Army.

Only two weeks ago, England was
still opposing this idea, but when
Turkey refused to consent to the rob-
berry Of Mosul at the league council
meeting at Geneva, Sir Austen Cham
berlain all at once switched around
and consented to an examination of
the question with a view to seeing
what forces each member of the
league might furnish toward an inter-
national army.
The French, therefore, who favor
the establishment of an International
army to crush reyolts in it's colonies
and to make war on Soviet Russia
in case any of the puppet states of
Europe need aid of western imperial
ism, are in the dilemma of refusing
to aid Britain in Mosul and losing
British support to an international
army, or giving French troops and
ships to aid Great Britain take the
Mosul oil fields-for Britain. The
French will try not to take position
and to keep quite.

1t is always permissible to ask a
hostess if you may bring" a male
friend who is a stranger to her, be-
cause men who dance are always
scarce, and hostesses are always glad
to have an extra one. However, in
the case of a young girl-or older
people-it is rather difficult, as you
place the hosetss in rather embar-
RAISING position. She has now way of
refusing without being rude, so she
must give permission, even though
she usually feels that she has about
all the extra girls she can we'll take
care of. Of course, if the lady is to
be taken care of by the lady request
ing the invitation, the hostess cannot
| we'll refuse. Invitations should never
| be requested for older folks unless
they are distinguished strangers and
unquestionably suitable. (2) Invita-
tions are never asked for persons
whom the hostess already knows. 1t
is proper, of course, to remind the
hostess, if she is an intimate friend,
of another intimate friend whom she
has overlooked. If the oversight was
intentional, nothing need be said. If
it was not intentional, the hostess
will be very glad to send the invita-
ton.
