ASK UNITY FOR
OPEN SHOP In
CLEVELAND, Ohio
To Attack the Building
Unioas First
tspeeIaI to The palIy workerl


CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 1S.-Fol-
lowing the victorious attack upon the
Cleveland street car mems union and
the decision for the open shop rend-
cred in that case by the capitalist
supreme court of the state Of Ohio,
Cleveland capitalists are following up
with drive against the building
trades unions as a preliminary to at
lacking and if possible, breaking up
every union of all trades in the city of
Cleveland.
Building Trades First Attacked.
The scab American plan associa-
tion has issued statement to its
members urging the setting up of a
city-wide committee to open war on
the building trades unions somewhat
like the fight that has been carried
on in Detroit.
.sfn Detroit the unification of all capi-
talist interests included the Employ
ers' Association, the Board OF. Com
merces Real Estate Board. Associated
Building Employers. Engineering So
ciety, Retail Merchants. and the Ro-
tary, the Exchange, Kiwanis, Lions
and Mercator clubs, and this unifica-
ton of bosses took place in concur
renee with an attempt by reactionary
labor leaders to expelt left wingers
from the carpenters union
A United Front Against Unions.
In the statement of the American
Plan Association" it says:
"A great deal of interest was arous-
ed when it was realized that the deci-
sion Of the supreme court in the
street railway case was sufficiently
broad to justify the belief that IL
would be applied to other closed shop
labor monopolies. such as that exist
ing in the building industry of this
city
complete Cooperation" Demanded.
mo one organization will be able
to establish open shop conditions in
our building industry. 1t freedom OF
employment is to be secured in the
building trades, there Must be com
plete cooperation between all the
civic organizations. Unless all the
elements in the community are unit
ed back of whatever plan may be
finally adopted that monopoly will re-
sist every attack.
Success will not crown our eff
forts in that direction unless the CON-
munity backs us up morally and
financially"

Cal Promotes Poison Gas.

WASHINGTON, May 49, Poison
gas should not be sold, and the White
House wants to have it barred from
international trade. On the other
hand, chemicals that are used to make
poison gas are used for other things,
and commerce in them must not be
interfered with in any way. This clear
view of the problem permits the ad-
ministration to promote war prepare
ton and protest at the same time,
and to prove that any limitation is a
difficult matter.

AS WE SEE IT

THERE are 10000 political prisoners
4 in Hungarian jails under the rule
Of Horthy, the pet of the American
capitalist class. Our rulers like Horthy
so we'll that the innocuous Karolyi,
who is no more radical than Morris
Hillquit, was gagged while on a visit
to this country recently An American
citizen with the Gaelic cognomen Of,
Jerry Smith, is running Hungary's
financial affairs. Our American paci-
fists have not organized committee
for the release of political prisoners
in Hungary tho the fate of a few
stoolpigeons and counter revolution
aries in Soviet Russia is causing them
a great deal Of uneasiness.
THERE are approximately 5000 poll
4 tical prisoners in Germany's jails.
They are all workers and mostly Com
munists or Communist sympathizers.
No so long ago the papers were giving
considerable space to the "Barmat
scandal" The Barmat brothers with
the aid of the socialist officials made
n lot of money Illegally during the
war and after. They robbed the state
banks in cooperation with the social
lists. Everybody was doing it." was
the only defense the socialists made.
The leader of the Barmats was ar
rested and jailed but he was released
4 few days ago. None of the socialist
burglars are in confinement.
THE unforgivabIe crime in the eyes
4 of the capitalists is desire to
abolish the present slave system, II
this desire is actively demonstrated.
The capitalists rob each other. The
fellow who gets the worst of it is in no
pleasant mood and if he has any infiu-
ence in the government he gets the
robber arrested. But those incidents
are only family affairs and blow over.
But it is a different matter to attempt
the overthrow of the system on which
those robbers thrive This is the crime
Of the Communists. Because they have
refused to compromise with sin, the
heavy hand of the capitalist govern
ment comes down on them They fill
the jails while the socialist leaders
are taken into the bourgeois parlor.
WE learn that one of the trainers
w Of French foreign policy is Paul
Boncour, leading member of the So
ciaIist party. 1t is only necessary to
look at the news made by France to
realize what kind OF policy Boncour is
framing. French troops are slaughter
ing the people of Morocco, SO that
French capital can exploit their coun-
try without let or hindrance. Boncour,
the socialist and ,his co-workers are
behind the generals who are directing
the fight on the Rifian tribesmen.
Nice brand of socialism!
THE value of clergyr1en to the CAPT.
i talist class is stated quite plainly
by Roger Babson. capitalist statisti-
clan, in a letter dated January q,
1920. 1t is worth reprinting. Here
goes:
THE value of our investments de-
Ponds upon the strength of our
churches. The underpaid preachers
of the nation are the men upon whom
we really are depending rather than
the well-paid bankers, lawyers, and
brokers. The religion of the commun-
ity is really the bulwark Of our in
vestments. !

RED SOLDIERS.
Central Labor Council
Head Visits Crouch

Especial TO Inc Daily WOrkor)
HONOLULU, Hawaii, May H. c.
w. Wright, president of the Honolulu
Central Labor Council, made a per-
sonaI visit to the 9th Infantry Guard
House at schoffieIa barracks and had
a long talk with Paul Crouch and
Walter TrumbuIl, the two soldiers
who were given long terms by milf
tsry court martial last month for or
JanIzins the "Hawallan Communist
League"
Wright says Of Paul Crouch, HE is
clean-cut, blue-eyed, leyel-headed
idealist OF a purely intellectual type.
There is nothing furtive or sinister
about him. He smiles a little as he
talks. His voice is low and pleasant
and he speaks rapidly and with per-
feet assurance, telling straight-for-
ward story. There was not word
of self pity or regret and not even any
bitterness against his accusers or the
military authorities. He appeared to
regard everything from an impartial
and impersonal point Of view"
Maximum Penalty Months
Brother Wright has taken genuine
interest in the case He took the
case up personally in several inter-
views with John Albert Matthewman,
former attorney general Of the terri
tory and for a number of years
Judge in the local courts. This was
after he had gone into every detail
of the case with Crouch Crouch had
particularly pointed out that the spe-
cific statute he is accused of violating
carries a maximum penalty Of three
months imprisonment.
Matthewman is man of indepen-
dent thought and D fearless advocate
Of free speech. He was quite recently
forced out of Office by the senate be-
cause Of his stand against the policy
Of the governor and the big interests
that control the territory.
To Defend Crouch and TrumbuII.
Matthewman Is of the opinion that
there is a good whance To get the
boys out of the hands OF the military
authorities by proper analysis and
of the case. Matthew
man declared his intention of under
taking the defense of Crouch and
Trumbull.
The recent reductions in the SEN
fences of Crouch and Trumbull from
forty and twenty-six years to three
and one, in no way alters the status
Of the case. There is no question but
what it is only the great indignation
in the army itself and the storm of
protest raised in the la
Dor movement thruout the world that
caused the authorities to think twice
about the extreme severity of the
sentence imposed originally.
While the central labor council will
not officially undertake the
cause of the two soldiers, G. w.
Wright expressed the sentiment that
he personally will do all he can and
that he is assured of support by
all the local labor leaders.
