QUEER Grew OF
SCABS ARRIVE
in VICTORIA
Czarist Officers Toll in
the StOkehOId

VICTORIA, 3. C. July 3t.-The EN-.
press of Asia arrived here recently
from the Orient with the queerest col.
lection of stokers than ever handled a
slice bar and weird assortment of
sea',~ fror' the dives OF Hong Kong.
Most of the scabby stokers were
formerly nigh officers in the Cars
army. Today they are picking the lice
off themselves in the cutters Of Orien-
tai cities or else performing any filthy
job that the older professional human
vermin turn down.
In return for their strikebreaking
work on the Empress Of Russia, the
steamship company hired a Russian
general and his wife to give the scabs
q send off, The grimy scabs were
allowed to kiss the lady's hand. But
they looked as II they would rather
be given the keys to the red light
district.
Several workers gathered to have
good look at the ex-ofioers who we're
kicked out Of Russia by the Red Army.
The Chinese Rebel
While the white guard scabs wepe
oscuiating the anatomy Of lady some
thing or other, another scene was
being enacted in one of the berths
where Chinese sailor was held pris-
oner on charge of being an agitator.
The Chinaman was branding the Gar
list scabs as worms and vermin." The
prisoner managed to make his voice
heard thru the port hole Of the berth.
He shouted that It was all the same
the world over, the bigger the COM
pany the less money they pay and the
worse the conditions they impose on
their slaves.
Victoria workers commented on the
difference between the militancy Of
the working class in the land Of the
rising sun and the attitude Of these
sycophants of decayed master class.
VIII Get Order of Boot
But the worst was yet to come. Ten
Of those white guardist scabs ran
away, from the ship in Vancouver and
the entire police force, mounted and
on foot is chasing them. When they
are caught, instead Of being allowed
to kiss female parasites paw, they
will be introduced to a boot in the po-
sterior. This is the way such lice are
usually treated by the master class,
and 1t serves them right.
Perhaps the "saviors of civilization
from Bolshevism" were not satisfied
with kissing lady's hand. as a re
ward for their scabbery. A rape OF
two would be more in their line.

Mother Bloor gave the strikers the
DAILY WORKER for distribution and
to aid in welding the ranks Of the men
on strike.
Last night Mother Bloor addressed
a body of workers at the Labor
Temple, bringing to them the message
of trade union unity and struggle
against the bosses as voiced by the
DAILY WORKER. A good number of
subscriptions were given by the work
ers altho the strikers and other work
ers from the potteries of this city
have been without work for months.
The potteries form the main in
dustry of this city. All have been
closed down for some time throwing
most of the city's workers out Of en-
ployment with no prospects in sight
for re-opening.
During her stay in this city, Mother
Bloor attended the Junior group outing
arranged in her honor, and found
a growing lot of little rebels of the
local workers led by Sarah Verven,
organizer, and Mildred Croxall and
Mabel Waters, who are among the
spirited youngsters giving life to the
work.
From this city, two meetings call
Mother Bloor to Cleveland from where
she leaves to continue her hitch-hiking
trip to steubenville, Ohio, on August

Joint Committee Of Action, was In
troduced.
He spoke much different than the
officials that we are used to hearing,
who deliver polished speeches but
never mean anything. He spoke like
cloakmaker who speaks to cloak
makers about the conditions in his
trade and union. 1t is such as Hy-
man the Cloak and Dressmakers of
the I. L. G. w. U. want leaders OF
theirs to be, and not $3.50 a week
gentlemen who have already forgot
ten what a worker looks like.
He said, "In my opinion when the
workers Of a union elect an officer
or executive board ana this oflcer or
executive board refuse to carry oul
the decisions of the workers, then
the workers should come and demand
that he resign, or that he be re.
moved But this did not happen.
"The workers did not want these
three executive boards OF Locals z,
8 and 20 to be suspended. 1t was
their wishes that we carried out, in
spite of the officials OF the I. L. G.
w. u, and it is for that that we
were suspended, not by the members
of the l. L. G. w. U. but by execu-
tive board that has no members
in back of it but is paid by the IN
ternational to stay in the Joint Board
to vote the way the officials of the
!. L. G. w. U. want them.

chine.
He further pointed out that PERI
stein stated that they have an agree
ment with. the bosses, and they will
help the bosses by discharging those
workers who refuse to carry out the
orders of czars OF the International
but when they do so, what happens?
Every time one of our followers is
discharged, not only all the workers
OF that shop but workers of manv
other shops come and picket until
the boss is forced to take this
worker back. They can see that
their threats mean nothing to the
workers who now know their power
and are going to use it.
When the corrupt machine will he
broken, then we will build our union
and the cry of the officials of the I
L. G. W. that we are trying to break
the union is nothing but so manv
words, for the members of the rnte--
national know who are the breakers
and who are the builders.
After he finished speaking, he was
asked to introduce a resolution bv
the Philadelphia Cloak ana Dress
makers that they pledge full support
to the Joint Committee of Action.
both moral and financial.
This was passed by everybody
standing up, nobody remained
seated and amidst great applause the
meeting was ended.
Much encouragement was instilled
IN the workers of the Cloak and
Dressmakers of philadelphia who
have already experienced the DO
groms that the Sigman machine can
make when more than one hundred
members of the union were expelled
and many taken off their Jobs for no
more reason than the three locals of
New York were suspended.

one can see that the Welsh miners,

able to construct their beautiful build
ing because Of the profits made from
the employees. "They turned that
money made from your work into ce-
ment," he said 1.-THE union expresses
the desire of the employees for a de-
cent living"
Samuel Smith, business agent in the
Kuppenheimer shop, said that this
strike is as important as the 1910
strike. Then we were building the
Amalgamated, now we are fighting to
maintain our strong organization, he
said.
cowardIy Deals Fall
The Amalgamated will follow the
International to Moline and Rock
Island if they try to carry out their
bluff of taking over the Boone Wooden
mills there. These mills are under a
receivership, and the consent of the
received would have to be secured if
the plant were taken over.
The International has from the start
played the cowardly role Of spreading
rumors and of running to the police
and courts in futile attempts to break
the solidarity of the strikers. First
they used the method of police VOL
ence, and when that failed they ran
for an injunction.
They made deal with the United
Garment Workers, affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, to Sc
cure scabs, but that move also failed
to produce suits. Now they are
spreading rumors of move to Rock
Island, but this will not break the
ranks of the strikers.

there are crowds there is usually
fun.
Next Sundays picnic will be a
rendezvous for radicals who do not
often have the chance to come to-
gether and talk informally over cur
rent events. There are reports that a
Soviet republic will be declared in
Canton, China, tomorrow. This will
bring big headlines in the newspapers.
It may bring big war. Perhaps the
capitalist powers will protest against
the formation Of another Soviet re-
public in China, despite their devo-
ton to the fright of self-determina-
ton"
So you see this picnic is not talk
ing place at slepey historical mo-
ment. Current history is throbbing
with life. Why should we not be
awake? And why should we not be
on the job, raising money to keep our
press alive, so that the truth about
those great world happenings will be
brought to the senses of the American
working class?
Hear About Labor Movement.
It will not be all play and no work
at the picnic tho the work will be in
teresting as we'll as instructive, and
not onerous. The hardest work our
guests will have is spending their
money. That comes easy to some, to
others it comes hard, particularly to
those who haven't any. But how any
body can refrain from loosening up
under the influence Of oratory, music,
singing, games. and all-around good
cheer, is beyond my comprehension.
As for speaking! William 2. Foster
chairman of the Workers (Commun.
ist) Party, will explain the latest
developments in the struggles of the
workers against the exploiters, ma.
tionally and internationally. Ella
Reeve Bdoor, who has just hiked her

Fish & Game Dept.
Plans to Simplify
Fishing Regulations

The Department of Inland Fish
cries and Game, with view of sim
plifying the mass of private and
special fishing regulations, is con-
sidering several plans, it was an
nounced Tuesday.
It is now engaged upon a general
revision of the private and special
laws many of which are due to eX-
pire July It'll. by special order of
the last Legislature and realizing
that the simplification of these regu-
lations is desirable If possible,-at
the same time taking into consider
alton the fact that the important
fishing interests of the State must
be properly safeguarded.
AS the first step, the Department
has sent to the wardens of the State
letter hoping that it will be found
feasible to eliminate in many coun-
ties quite a number of private and
special regulations closing streams
to fishing. which streams will then
come under the new stream law
passed by the Send Legislature.
Another plan which the Depart
ment is considering with view of
making the laws which are in force
more clear to the public (and avoid
much of the confusion which mas ex-
listed in the past where regulations
have been promulgated after the law
book was issued) is to promulgate
regulations only twice a year-(after
the 1885 edition of the laws is
issued)-the first of January and the
first of July. at the same time print
ing a supplement containing these
regulations.
This CONTEMPLATED plan will not
change the method of holding hear
ings now in vogue. Whenever emer-
gencies arise. where people think adj
ditional laws are required, petitions
will be sent to the Department as
in the past. and Commissioner Par
sons In holding hearings thereon will
so plan his itinerary as to make the
least possible expense to the State,
but the regulations under the new
plan. commencing January 1, 1926,

Four Agricultural
Associations to Meet
At Portland in Nov.

Maine Pathological Society, Maine
Dairymen's Association, NJ n e
Creamerymen's Association and the
Maine Seed Improvement Association
have accepted the invitation of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce to
hold their joint exhibition in that
city, Nov. II, 1S and 10, 1925, in the
auditorium of City Hall. These So
cieties for the last two years have
held better attended exhibitions than
in previous years and the quality
of their products has been greatly
improved. This year especially when
everyone Is boosting Maine, it is fit
ting to call to the attention of the
public that this is one exhibition
where nothing but the products of
Maine have ever been shown over a
long period of years and for that
reason the committee in charge hope
that everyone will make a special
effort to attend.
The premium lists will offer about
$4,000 to the competitors in the diff
ferent classes of fruit and seed
grown on Maine farms and with this
amount of money, competition should
be- keen among the growers. 1t
might be we'll to say here that the
| merchants of the city of Portland
contribute $500 in addition as prices
in the apple show, so that there will
be no question of available funds to
carry out the entire project.
These societies each year devote
a large part of their space and a
fair portion Of their money to the
awarding of prizes to the Boys and
Girls Clubs and it can be said that
this part of the program will be
handled as it should be, because Mr..
Lester Shibles and Mrs. ARA Mix
ter, the State Club leaders from the
Extension Service at Orono, will
have charge.
This three day exhibition will be
free to the public and if added feat
ures are accepted by the committee,
due notice will be given so that when
| the time comes, the public will be
fully acquainted with the type of
agricultural exhibition which the
Maine people are capable of putting
on.
The committee in charge of the
| arrangements consists of H. NJ. Tue
ker Of Augusta, E. L. White of Bow
| doinham and Z. L. Newdick of Au-
| gusta.
The Portland representative is Mr.
Z. II. Mcdonald, secretary of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce.
