Meyer Perlstein, pretending to
be loyal to the union, yet exposed by
his own hand as one who would
wreck the l. L. G. w. U. to satisfy
his lust for personal position.
A Letter PerIstein Wrote.
In this issue of the DAILY WORK
Err is a Photographic reproduction of
a letter written by Meyer Perlstein
to George Wishnak, who was manag-
er of the Jewish daily paper, "Frei-
heit" in 1922.
The letter was written while the
infant Perlstein was manager of the
Cleveland, Ohio, joint board of the
|. L. G. w. At that time Schlessinger
was preventing Perlstein from attain
ing any position of power in the I'M
ion. Perlstein was at outs with the
New York joint board, and could not
collect on his ambition to climb over
the heads of others into leadership of
the international.
Not Then Was Meyer a Patriot.
Being his majesty's opposition, ,"
he did not at that time show up as
patriot concerned over the welfare Of
his country He made no lectures
and wrote no articles against the
Communists. Quite on the contrary,
he was ready to go hand in hand with
them, as his letter shows, but secret
ly, and in an intriguity manner. He
really wanted to use the left wing to
advance his own personal interests,
not the interests of the workers.
Together with the letter printed
herewith, Perlstein also sent an ar
ticle to the "Freiheit" as mentioned
in the letter, suggesting that it be
published but not under his name.
The article, which will be published
later, will show that this same Perl

BY T. J. o'FLAHERTY

nESPITE the wiles of queen noted
~ for her pulchritude and willing
mess to place beauty at the disposal
of business, things are not running
smoothly in Rumania. At recent
meeting of the chamber of deputies
blows were exchanged and when the
government refused leader of the
opposition the privilege of the floor,
the said leader, DR.. Lupu, by name,
leaped to the platform and got the fol-
lowing off his chest: "You are canaille
and dishonorable scoundrels, for you
have broken your word. Upon my
word of honor declare that the pres
ident promised me that he would al
low all our speakers to talk. This is
the way the rascal keeps his word. :"
WHEN the vote on the question was
w called pandemonium broke loose.
Dr. Lupu got hold of the presiding Of
ficer's bell and rang it violently. A
few supporters of the government
tried to reach DR.. Lupu who was on
the platform, but the opposition call
ed the manly art of selfdefense into
play and DR.. Lupu remained in charge
of the bell. The masses outside the
building were with the opposition but
the gendarmes kept them moving.
ON May II, the opposition tried to
~ hold mass meeting to bring the
sins of the government home to the
people. A great throng gathered, but
husky soldiers were there, armed with
trumpets and when the speakers tried
TO make themselves heard, the soldiers
blew so loudly that the words of the
orators were not audible a few feet
from the platform. A change in gov
eminent is expected in Rumania
shortly.

the trial. A Vienna lawyer, one of the
three, was trown into prison, and re-

while Perlstein's meeting was COM
posed of two or three dozen, mostly
hired agents.
The first meeting was marked by in
describable enthusiasm while the 9TH
er was wrangling and confusion.
Louis Hyman. in the principal
speech to the meeting of shop chair
men, electrified the meeting, rousing
it to demonstration of wild enthusi

GERMAN COAL

IRON UNITE
Agreement May Scrap
Versailles Treaty
(speelaI to The paIIy workerl

BERLIN, June 24-French iron and
German coal have contracted what is
referred to here as business mar
rage" in the negotiation of an agree
ment which practically nullifies the
Versailles treaty and presents Brit
aims basic industrial maunates with
competitor that endangers Britan's
power more seriously than any for
eIgn enemy that threatened her
shores since the Spanish Armada was
wrecked or her coasts In the days
Of Queen Elizabeth.
Negotiations for a business agree
ment between the leading Industrial
lists Of Germany and France, which
have been conducted for long time
are nowain the formal stage. In fact
a tentative draft of the new economic
union has been signed 1t provides
that the Ruhr magnates, Krupps,
Thyssen, SHINES, and Haniel, shall
be permitted to import into Germany
100000 tons of manufactured iron
from aAslsace-Lorraine, the Sahr val
ley and Luxembourg.
Keep Own Markets.
The contract further provides that
Germany and France shall be permit
ter to keep their own markets, and
protect them by tariffs, but sales
syndicate will be formed to provide
for the needs of other European
markets. This syndicate would dis
tribute orders in a certain proportion
which would remain secret.
The third principal provision of the
pact assures long term contracts for
the exchange of French ore against
German coal, this aspect of the agree
ment to be handled by a production
syndicate specially to be formed for
this purpose
II is generally recognized that the
proposed agreement is of the utmost
Importance to the European political
and economic situation and when deh-
nitely in force will change the con-
stellation of European powers over
night.
No Coincidence.
1t is regarded as OF the utmost
significance that the French com.
munique, foreshadowing the Ruhr
evacuation should have been issued
simultaneously with the signing of
the preliminary pact and that French
action is taken here as the first fruit
of the new reapproachment.
The proposed union between Ger
man coal and French iron, If ratified
by the two governments marks dis.
