World Solidarity

The international protest of the working class
aroused by the threat of the Polish government to
hang Stanislav Lanzutsky, Communist worker
member of the diet, has assumed huge dimensions.
1t is without doubt the greatest exhibition of work
ing class solidarity in defense of class war
prisoner that has yet been seen.
The British labor movement, more effectively
than any other section of the working class outside
of Soviet Russia aided in staying the hands of the
capitalist hangmen.
Those who are always lamenting the dissensions
and divisions in the labor and revolutionary move
ment and who always see the weaknesses rather
than the strength of labor should explain how it
is that the British labor party and the general
council of the Trades Union Congress both pro-
tested to the Polish government and offered to
provide legal defense for the victim of the white
guards.
COmrade Lanzutsky is held on another charge
after his acquittal under the pressure of the
masses in Poland and other nations, but his life
has been saved for time at least and the protests
and demonstrations thruout the globe have been
wonderful testimony to the strength of the Com
munist International whose call brought millions
of workers to the defense of their Polish comrade
A few years ago such unanimity of action would
have been impossible Today the spread of the
capitalist terror into all nations together with the
constant agitation and organization work of the
sections of the Communist international is welding
the world labor movement into a single massive
weapon for the working class

LADY CUSTOMERS MEAN
BIGGER EXPENSES FOR
JOURNEYMEN BARRIERS

The high prices paid for hobs and
shingles is pocketed by the master
BARRIERS (bosses). The journeymen
not only do not get any more money,
but are working at loss. The men
have got to primp up-change their
uniforms oftener, which means larg-
er laundry bills, and they have to buy
special heavy shears and curling
irons.
Thus, the high cost Of women GUS
toners to journeymen BARRIERS was
explained by w. S. Leidlig, president
Of the Journeymen BARRIERS Union of
Chicago, to Charles Bendheim, Unit
ed States conciliator, sent by the de-
partment of labor to settle the con-
troversy in the BARRIERS new wage
contract.
The hearing at which Herman Lin
neman represents the master BARRIERS
and Leidig, the journeymen BARRIERS,
is held at the Great Northern Hotel.
The decision of the conciliator will be
made next week.

CAL WANTS DEBT
OF The FRENCH
BEFORE CRASH
FLUTES Tear Hair as War
Payment Fades

WASHINGTON, April 1O-Intro-
duction Of the capital levy scheme in
the French parliament by the Herriot
government has alarmed Secretary
Mellon and the Coolidge following in
Washington, since it proves the ex-
tremity to which French financial
mismanagement has driven the poll
ticians in Paris.
Chance Of early collection Of any
part of the interest much less the
principal-due the United States on
the war debt is now considered re.
mote.
Bankruptcy was the alternative to a
capital levy, unless France were again
to try imitation or were to surrender
her military position and admit her
self second-rate power. But Mellon
and Coolidge had hoped that no step
so disturbing to the whole financial
structure Of the world as a capital
levy in a country of the Importance of
France would be attempted.
They look upon a forced loan as
confession Of breakdown of power
and as being likely to weaken the
anti-radical lineup in central Europe
and the Balkans.

The labor takers not above appealing to the
Negro members of the unions for support when it
is question of war on the militants. The official
dom of the United Mine Workers of western Penn
sylvania went to the trouble of importing Negro
organizer to lead the fight on one of the militants
in union with a large number of Negro mem
bers.
But the attempt to line up the Negro miners be-
hind the takers failed. Our correspondent at the
scene of the struggle reports that not single
Negro voted with the machine.
There are lots of similar incidents in the labor
movement proving that many of the Negro workers
understand the need for combating the misleaders
and traitors in the unions who are only too willing
to follow the example set by the capitalists in
playing one against the other. The that
more of these are not reported is that our worker
correspondents are not yet numerous enough to
cover. the field thoroly and that to many workers
there lis, nothing unusual in such exhibitions of
solidarity. - ~. y

FRENCH PLUTES

PARIS, April 1o.-Premler Herrlot
faced with the certainty of having to
quit office In the near future, made
savage attacks on the leaders Of the
opposition yesterday, charging pre-
cedina governments with shady book
keeping and with having deceived the
country 40 to the financial condition
Of the treasury.
The premier went before the senate
this afternoon and denied that his
government had ever exceeded the
imitation limit Of the Bank Of France

The Bank of France, however. re-
corded an increase Of 2,1OO, 1876, 900 in
circulation, which brings the total cir
culation up to $4,000 900, 600 francs,
while the legal limit is Al, O00, 900 900.
The chamber voted confidence in
the government by 2s1 to 242. Dur
ing the discussion Marcel Cachin.
Communist deputy created a sensa
ton when he asked If it was not true
that several billions Of francs were
exported out of the country to Italy
recently to avoid the consequences Of
the financial crisis. Herrlot admitted
this was true.
Francois-Marsal was sharp and cri
tical for the Herriot ministry. Term

he said:
Neither the capital tax nor fore

Herriot rose from the minister.
bench Immediately and mounted thu
tribune to reply.
Herriot again laid responsibility
for the nations financial chaos on
the nationalist government of Premier
Poincare. He said:
Unsuccessful loans made under
the nationalist government showed
there was no more confidence then
under the nationalist than now un-
der us. But the nationalists increas-

Chinese Textile Strikers Win

The Chinese textile workers won their strike in
Shanghai
Most of the strikes of the American textile work
ers have been lost.
There are two reasons why the Chinese workers
won.
The first is that they struck as a unit, tied up
the whole textile industry and recognized that a
strike is war; those who desert their fellow workers
traitors.
The second reason is that the Red International
Of Labor Unions sent. q huge contributiohAto the
strikers relief fund and aided materially in reliev
ing their distress.
The bosses were forced to meet the terms of the
strikers atho in behalf of those properties owned
by Japanese capitalists the japanese government
sent a number of threatening messages to the
Chinese authorities.
The Chinese workers may be slow in getting in

start they leave the American workers far behind

The Passing of the Khan
E XII kIux klan Is passing.

The ku klux khan is passing.
With the sanctity Of the home and the protection
of American womanhood as two of it's main
slogans it has succeeded in gathering to it's bosom
the most perfect collection Of degenerates ever
placed on exhibition in America.
The quarreIs over the cash proceeds of organ
izing campaigns has brought the khan into court
times without number. 1t appears that the laws
of the invisible empire are not Of a nature that
makes division of the loot proceeding that can
be settled outside the ordinary processes of law to
which the horde of Jews, Negroes, Slavs and Irish
outside the inightgowned ranks have to submit to
for the present.
The lustre of the imperial diadem has been dim
med somewhat by these sordid sorties made upon
the treasury.
To make matters worse, a number of grand
dragons, kleagles and wizards have become in
volved in sexual adventures that have brought bit
ter establishment to many of the embattled
morons whose tastes run to collective sadistic
orgies rather than to individual expeditions in
perversion.
The chief protector Of the purity Of American
womanhood in Indianapolis is the latest victim
of the pitfalls that make the path of grand
dragon a hard and thorny one

how the kidnapping, rape and subsequent poisoning

crusade against the invasion of the 100 per cent
American home by the alien cohorts.
Once upon time klansmen, when apprehended
in particularly obscene anti-social act could
plead that they were victims of an enemy plot, but
this defense has lost its punch Any lierate person
knows now that the khan is an organization of sub
normal perverts with a sprinkling of clever poll
ticians and professional elements that see in the
khan the nucleus of an American fascist organiza
ton.
Even in the medieval south the khan is decaying

ALREADY the police have begun
their notorious work for the textile

Marshall would not give him permit,
and was fined by the district court.
This case has been appealed and the
