confusion. The role of the present la
Dor party parliamentary fraction was
characterized as a sham one. Partic-
ularly evident is the reasonable role
of this party, now that the tory gov
eminent is in power and its ministers
blandly quote the speeches of the
former labor ministers in support of
their own policy.
THIS is to be seen in all questions:
Foreign affairs, league of nations,
Geneva protocol, Zinoviev letter, col
onial policy Git transpired that ]. H.
Thomas, the colonial minister in the
labor government, during his visit to
Kenya, approved of the CONSUMPTION
of 1000 natives to work on the rail-
ways for wage Of las. per month";
war office, the supplementary reserve,
home affairs, the Campbell case and
the use Of troops in industrial dis
putes, etc.
In the discussion it was pointed
out that it is dangerous to praise too
much, without qualifications and
warnings to the workers, the leaders
of the labor left wing.
Campbell's final point that the party
was now politically unanimous, was
appropriate, asignificant feature of
the congress being the complete alb
sence Of factionalism.
CAKLATvALA reported on the party
~ in parliament in an amusing ex-
posure OF capitalist democracy in the
mother OF parliaments." His criti-
cism Of the labor left wing was good
and his suggestion as to the necessity
of program and concerted action ex-
cellent.
The organization report by Inkpin,
presented in conjunction with the
thesis on the mass party reveal great
progress. The party Is now breaking

with every established tradition in
the British labor movement by build
ing centralized party, based on indi-
vidual membership and daily indivi-
dual activity. The most important
feature was the announcement of the
organization of over a hundred fac
tory groups.
]. T. Murphy presented the Thesis
on the International and National
Battle Front This emphasized the
temporary character of capitalist
sterilization and the need for intense
Bolshevik mass work. The theses
relating to the tasks of building up
the left wing in the labor party,
fighting for trade union unity, win
ming influence In the co-operatives,
reorganization, educational work, ETC.,
were unanimously accepted.
THE question of trade union unity
= was summed up in the necessity
for developing mass propaganda side
by side with the demand for the es-
Enlistment OF the Anglo-Russian
unity committee and the world con-
ference of all trade unions.
An important feature Of the report
and discussion on colonial work was
the announcement that the jute work.
ers had decided to send delegation
to India to enquire into labor condi-
tons and to organize white workers
while assisting native workers.
The two decisions Of the congress
which particularly aroused the ire of
the capitalist press were: ~ factory
groups; (2) colonial work.

ON Saturday, May 16, 1925, the
~ Ruhr Echo, the district organ of
the Communist Party in the Ruhr dis
trict, published a poem, entitled BAL
lad of the Workers DEATH" by Franz
Krey, a young miner and poet. In
the evening of the same day the ter
rible news spread like wildfire thru
the whole Ruhr district that an explo-
sion had taken place in the Dorstfeld
mine, pit V, and that the lives of the
miners at work in the pit were in
great danger.
The disaster involved "A dead and 81
wounded.
Now everyone is seeking to find
those who are responsible. The most
absurd hypothesis are brought forward
in the bourgeois press. Thus a report
in the Duisburger Generalanzeiger
of May Is states that there exists
the possibility of a deliberate out
rage" From assertions of this sort
to a declaration that here it is a
question of an outrage by a Commu-
mist "Tcheka" group is only a step.
The press hirelings maintained by
SHINES capital are capable of any
thing, solely in order to conceal the
real causes of this terrible disaster.
1t is not a mere chance that the
number Of accidents in the Ruhr
mines has considerably increased
since the coming into force of the
Dawes plan. Every day, four to five
cases of death are recorded, which are
attributable to the intensified methods
of exploitation.
THE Dorstfeld mine belongs to the
4 Essen Steinkohlenbergwerk A. G.
The chief shareholder in this is the
firm of Henschel in Cassel, whose
representative is member of the
board of directors of the Berlin Dis
conto Gesellschaft. The chief partner
of the Disconto Gesellschaft, DIR. Sal
monsohn, is the notorious managing
director of the Gelsenkirchener Berg
werk A. G. who so shamefully SLAM
dered 136 miners who were murdered
in the Minister Stein" mine. AS is
to be seen from the reports of the
workers, there prevails in the Dorst-
field mine, Pits / to v, the most in
zane speeding up system. One hun
dred and fifty workers were given
notice, expiring on the 1st of June.
1t is quite logical that great danger
results from the discharge of the min
ers by the increased exploitation of

A New Victims of Ruhr Capital
BY GEORG SCHWARZ
ESSEN
with

Of the rights of the workers with
scornful laughter.
How particularly necessary Is the
fight for the dependents is shown by
what has happened in the case Of the
victims of the Minister Stein" dis
aster. The Communist press pointed
out clearly and openly at the time,
that all the bourgeois charity activity
was an obvious fraud. The relatives
of the killed and injured in the Min
lister Stein" disaster have already to
appeal to the public, because they are
in bitter need and up till now only
10000 marks have been distributed to
the victims concerned out of a total
sum collected of nearly mollion In
view of this scandaIous treatment Of
the relatives and dependents. the
Communists again demand for the de-
pendents of the present disaster:
Payment of full wages for this
month, permanent pension of so per
cent of the years wages for the wild
ows, and 20 per cent for every de-
pendent member of the family; per-
manent supply of coal and the right
to reside in the miners houses be-
longing to the company.
THE capitalists have clearly shown
by their attitude hitherto that, for
them the families of the fallen miners
are mere dirt. At the graves they
speak few words of comfort, which
are only hypocrisy. In reality, by their
speeding up methods, they drive the
miners to death.
THE miners see quite clearly that
it is nothing else than the system
of murder which is killing their
brothers. The present disaster must
therefore be warning signal to fight
the abolition of the speeding up meth
DDS in the mines
In two crowded meetings, which
took place on Sunday in Dorstfield
and in the adjoining district of Mar
ton in which comrades Schwan and
Sobottka spoke, the miners demand
ed in deatiled resolutions the taking
up of the fight in the sense of the de-
mands of the Communist sParty aUf
Germany. a-oeas sa6Fs sn5 bns r
1t is necessary to drive home to
the workers that only a united
strong mine workers organization,
under revolutionary leadership can
abolish the murderous speeding-up
system in the mines. For this reason
the fight for trade union unity in the
Ruhr mines is an urgent necessity.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-07-04

the miners who are still retained.
The natural result is, of course, that
all measures for safety are disregard
ed. The speeding up methods en-
ployed by the overseers and other
officials cause the safety rules to be
ignored. 1t is certain that the ex-
plosives chamber, the explosion of
which led to the disaster, is not the
sole cause. 1t is much more probable
that, in the first place, a gas explo-
sion took place which led to the ex-
plosion of the explosives chamber.
That is the view of all the miners.
Gas explosions are only to be avoided
if all precautionary measures, sprink-
ling and removal of coal dust, are
strictly carried out.
THE miners and their relatives
waiting at the pits mouth could
tell story of the brutality of the adj
ministration Of the Dorstfeld mine.
The miners working in the same pit,
in the 7th section, when they heard
of the disaster, demanded that they
be allowed to leave the mine, but
they were ordered by the foremen to
fill the wagons still remaining empty
and to employ the rest of the time
remaining of the shift in carrying out

You hanged him on your tree,
In the place that's called Cathedral Square,
For all the world to see.
And all the world has seen it,
Has seen how he has died,
Has seen that in the death of right
The truth was crucified.
Not only on the place of skulls
Has manknds' hopes been slain,
But in the public square of greed,
And in the heart of gain.

san Francisco, Aug. IS Pr-Dr E. w. Twitchell, alienist, testifying in rebuttal for the prosecution in the Dorothy Ellingson murder trial here declared that the l7-year-old sus- pected matricide never had any real love affairs and was morally obtuse."

 The Ellingson girl, charged with murdering her mother last July, was declared sane by Dr. Twitchel, who was the first witness called in rsbut- tai by the prosecutor after the de- fenso closed its case.
 Half of the spectators in the crowded court were ordered from the room by Superior Judge Louder back when they burst into laughter during the testimony of Dave Stein, host at party attended by Dorothy, the night after Mrs. Elingson's mur- der.
 When questioned regarding tho dc tails of the party Stein testified he remembered little about the af- fair.

WESTERN ARTISTS
 WILL BE HELPED
Association to Aid in Placing
 Their Work

Chicago, Aug, IS Pl-Pacing of the best works of western artists Of the highest ability, in tho homes of art lovers instead of letting them re- main in their original environment of Inc studio, hls been made poss- ble here through the creation of the Chicago Galleries Association and its novel plan for distribution of the artists work. Curtis Is. Camp. an attorney of Chicago, is president, the association is to be conducted us d non-protit one.
 The association k a combination of artists and 15O lay members and the plan of distribution provides for the selection of l5O of the best paintings shown in the galleries over a period of three years, or 2j to be selected at each spring and fall exhibition to be presented to each ot the l5O lay members. These paintings will be selected by tho laymcn, each of whom is re- ouired 10 pay into the association as membership dues $2O0 a year for three-year period. This assures the layman, however, of obtaining ono of the best pictures shown for $G00. l Tho selection Of lay members to choose pictures will be made by lot, ! but all will he assisted by a commit 1 tee composed of three art experts or l ,t,,, ta 1,,,Ir th1t11 Gplppt tho 1 best although they arc permitted to choose any picture they desire with out adivCc.
 The artists, however, do not all receive the $500 for each picture chosen. Regardless of the pictures selected by the layman. assisted by i the committee of experts. this latter committee will decide which picture deserves the first prize of $l,Ooo, and the artist will receive this amount. Following this. the com mttee will select pictures for the second third, fourth and so on down to the twenty-fifth prize.
 The prizes will be: One $l,OoO prize, two $500 prizes, three S4OO prizes. five $500 prizes, four $21O prizes and ten $2OO honorariums. A rule of the association says: Tt is our problem first of all to give each layman inc picture that he | likes and that he wants from the eH- hibiton for the money he has paid, and secondly to see that the pictures thus selected arc the best pitCurcs in | the show and that the prizes are properly awarded to these pictures. "
 Artists from Ohio and all states west to the Pacific Coast are to be invited to enroll in the association, the list being confined to artists of high standing.
 Tho Galleries association also will 1 conduct what is calls it's circulating department, where any or all of the , l50 laymen may select smaller pie lures from the gallery walls and take one of them home for a period of from 30 to SO days and then re- turn it and take another home and continue this system as long as he holds membership.
 Each artist will he required 10 furnish designated quota of these smaller pictures for the galleries in addition 10 submitting the larger pictures for the prizes.
 The galleries will probably be opened the coming autumn.
