was the work of the Bulgarian
regular army.
Following the sending of the ulti-
matum, Greece ordered her troops to
take up strategic points along the
Greco-Bulgar frontier in the Demir-
hissar region in Macedonia, northeast
of Saloniki. Scouts are watching the
massing of Bulgar troops. Amy move
on the part of the Bulgars to mass
troops will mean declaration Of

After a ministerial conference
Greek troops were ordered to Advance
along the Rupel valley and invade
Bulgarian territory. The commanding
officers have been instructed to oc.
cupy Perish, which is the headquar-
ters of the Observation-Disclosures
committee, and hold Perish until Bull
garia has made full amends for the
damages done. The Greek army in
tends to also disarm and disband the

ing their per capita tax, he will try
to keep their delegates from being

their delegates to vote to seat the
New York contested delegates.
But what about the Chicago cleo
ton? There are so far only four nom
inees, three supporters of the Kauf-
man-Milson machine and one progress
sive. Tomorrow is the election. There
is still time to nominate two more
progressives. The slogan of the Chi

Issie Landau is the progressive
candidate for delegate to the inter-
national convention, he should and
will receive the vote of all the mill
sick and tired of this looking after
the bosses interests first, and the
workers interests afterwards.
If you believe in building a pow
erful union based upon the class
struggle, if you believe that there
should be only one union covering the
entire industry, if you believe that
the workers should have a labor party
to carry the struggle into the political
as well as the economic field, then
send progressive delegates to the
convention.
Make each candidate state where he
or she stands, and base your choice
upon policy and not upon the good
looks or the popularity of the indi-
vidual.

New York Coal Body
Proposes Suspension
of Anti-Smoke Laws

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The New
York state coal commission has
issued an order recommending the
suspension of all anti-smoke regula-
tions so that soft coal may be used
for heating purposes as the strike in
the Pennsylvania district has cut off
the supply of anthracite.
The health commissioner of New
York City, DR.. Frank j. Monaghan,
intimated that the New York anti
smoke law would be suspended when
it was found to be necessary, but that
it was not a necessary step at the

convention. You must not allow the
machine to intimidate you into vot-
ing for their candidate, to do so
means to place the organization to re-
main in the hands of the incompetent
and reactionary Kaufman machine.
Our New York brothers make up
the majority of the members. They
have offered to finance the Montreal
strike. This the International refus-
ed to accept. Why? For the simple
reason that the International wants
to assess the members so that only
part will go to the strikers, and the
other part to go to their depleted
treasury. If they had the Montreal
strikers interest at heart, why then,
did they refuse to allow the New York
joint board to finance the strike?
Kaufman's strength comes from the
smaller locals which have not waken-
ed to the seriousness of the situation,
because it has not yet been thoroly
explained to them. Our paper is not
open to the membership. The Chi
cago membership, however, had the
opportunity to hear both Brother Gold
and Kaufman debate the issues; it
was very. one-sided debate to be
sure, the membership were with the
New York joint board, and Kaufman
cut very sorry figure.
Votes count-Guard Them.
However, applause and approval of
policy is very good, but not enough.
Kaufman does not give a tinker's
damn for the membership as long
as he can get, by hook or by crook,

SUSPEND Law
TO AID HARD
COAL BOSSES
U. NJ. w. Breaking Its
DUN Strike

NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 21.-That
capitalist municipal governments, like
all their more important institutions,
are willing and glad to help break
strike whenever possible, is proven
by the city authorities of New York
City and the cities of northern New
Jersey suspendlne all anti-smoke laws
to allow for low grade anthracite and
bituminous coal to be used as substi-
tutes for that which should be mined
by the miners on strike in the Penn
syIvania anthracite region.
The anthracite owners are making
hay while the sun shines, selling mil
lions of tons of low grade anthracite
which ordinarily is unmarketable, that
has piled up around the pits in Penn
sylvania.
Lewis Allows Union Scabbing.
In addition, the Lewis leadership
of the u. M. w. of A., is aiding the
strike breakers indirectly by failure
to call out the bituminous miners and
allowing bituminous mines to furnish
coal to the anthracite market. This
is shown by the increased production
in the bituminous fields, production
there increasing by six per cent for
the week ending October 10, over the
that of the proceeding week.
During that week bituminous pro-
duction was 11,696,00O tons, or $685.
600 tons more than the week before,
an increase of 6.3 per cent and the
highest weekly output since the mid
die of January.
Total anthracite production during
the calendar year up to October 10,
is 61,693, 900 tons, or 1875 per cent
lower than the same period of 1924.
Coolidge Intervention Not Needed.
Meanwhile these forces of city,
state and reactionary union leader
ship are combined to defeat the an
thracite strikers, President Coolidge
does not feel that any action on his
part is necessary. While he is will
ing to intervene and break the strike
he does not feel it necessary as long
as the responsibility for strike break
ing is assumed by city, and state au-
thorities and by John L. Lewis.
That the anthracite strikers would
win if it were not for such betrayal
by Lewis and the suspension of laws
by capitalist authorities, is shown by
the admission of big consumers, F..
R. Howe, head of big corporation
of builders and managers of apart
ment houses of New York having
written to the anthracite operators
that there was some basis for the
miners demand for a wage raise.
Howe wrote, in part, as follows:
with the present wave of prosper
ity it seems a bad time for operators
to try to force reduction in the wag-
es of coal miners. There is, doubt
less, initiation taking place all over
the country, and the general boom at
titude of mind. This is very poor
time to force wage dispute on
labor"

HUNT FIFTEEN
FOR BOMBING
NEGRO CHURCH

Fifteen prominent members of
number of southside property PRO
tective" associations are being sought
for in an attempt to fix the blame for
the bonn bling of the Bethesda (Negrc)
baptist church, located on the south
east corner of Michigan Ave. and
53rd street.
This church was formerly a Jewish
synagogue and was sold to the Negro
baptists. The surrounding neighbor
hood has been thickly populated with
white residents and Negroes are now
beginning to settle in the neighbor
hood. 1t is expected that the kla'
element which lives in this district
is responsible for the bombing.
Realtors Behind Bombing
One of the Negro detective agencies
has found woman residing in the
district who attended a number of
meetings of these protective" asso.
Citations, where the bombing of the
Bethesda church was discussed. The
name of the witness is kept a secret
as fears for her life have been ex-
pressed if some of the realtors in the
district who are behind these associa-
tions know her identity.
Funds Disappear
This woman further testified that
funds were raised at a number of
meetings of these protective" asso
cations to fight the invasion of
Negroes" Several of these funds
have disappeared. One fund of $780,
900 which was raised to fight the
invasion" has disappeared from tae
5outhside bank N which the funds
we're kept.
The bombing of the church was
carried out by a group from the
protective" associations to brighten
the Negro residents in this district
to move away and go further to the
north where the Negroes are segre-
gated in what is known as the "black
belt" of Chicago. Negro residents in
the district refuse to be intimidated
in this manner and have decided to
find the guilty culprit and have him
punished for the bombing of the
church.
Some eye-witnesses to the bombing
say they saw a high-powered automo-
bile draw up to the church, out of
which a man jumped out and walked
up to the church doors. He then re-
turned to his the waiting automobile
and sped away. A short time later
the explosion occurred destroying the
entire front of the church. 1t will me-
cessary to rebuild the church.
Windows for blocks around were
shattered when the bomb exploded.
No one was injured as the church was
empty at the time the bomb exploded.

N. Y. CARPENTERS
BATTLE DISTRICT
COUNCIL TAKERS
Unseating Locals Men
Brings Trouble
BY MIKE ROSS
(Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 21-The
takers in the New York District
Council of Carpenters were terror
stricken over the election of two
progressive delegates to the d. c..
One delegate was A. Kivowitz of Lo-
cal 2717 a liberal and opponent of
the present reactionary machine.
The other, Morris Rosen of Local
376, a progressive, who was former
candidate for general president of
the U. B. of C. & ]. of A. on the
progressive carpenters program, and
stood for amalgamation, labor
party, job control, trade union unity,
rank and file control, and other pro
gressive measures.
The Same, Identical Rosen.
Rosen was excluded after dele
gate asked if this is "the same
Rosen" that ran for general presi
dent After a protest was raised
they tried to justify their action by
the fake reason that he is not car
penter being afraid to unseat him
for running for general president on
the program.
This was done in order to becloud
the real reason for not seating him
They did not even take the trouble
to give an excuse for unseating A
Kivowitz of Local 2717.
A committee of Local 376 was sent
to the D. C. to speak While they
were waiting for their credentials to
be acted upon, John Halkett, president
of the N. Y. Building Trades Council
appeared and threatened to throw
these terrible reds out if they would
not leave Immediately, they were then
forced to leave.
Appoint Delegates Locals
Didn't Want.
Later in order to free themselves
from this "taint of Bolsheyism" and
purify the atmosphere, the D. C. fax.
ers appointed Samuel Goldberg of Lo-
cal 2717 to act as delegate in place
of the duly elected one, Kivowitz
This Goldberg was accused by
Joseph p. Hirch, secretary of the
Parquet Floor Layers Union, for ask
ing for $4,000 graft in order to give
charter and take them in the Car
penters' Union. This was sworn to
before Justice Gavegan in court.
Everything, however, wasn't peaceful
among these birds of a feather. Lo-
cal 376 sent out circular letter and
resolution to the locals exposing this
frameup and demanding that Rosen
and Kivowitz be seated Immediately
and Local 2717 sent a protest in the
d. G. against their illegal action in
seating Goldberg.
In the meantime the fight carried
on by the militants for a five-day
week and a $12 per day wage re.
ceived such support that the officials
of the ID. G. in order to cover their
own corruption were forced to send
the matter out for referendum vote.
Developing Mass Movement.
The militants know that these
measures will never be carried out
even II approved by all the members
and the fight to seat the militants in
the d. G. and Gust these takers is de
veloping into mass movement.
An amendment to the ID. c. consti
tuition proposed by Local 2163, that
ID. G. officials should be elected every
year by direct vote, instead OF every
three years by the ID. c. delegates
received the Endorsement of about
nine locals, despite all oppression.

HORNY government Slows Up.

BERLIN, Oct. 21-Reports reaching
this city from Budapest indicate that
the worldwide protests against the
proposed executions of Matthias Rak-
osi and his comrades have at least
compelled the Horthy government to
slow up in it's avowed intention to try
the workers before drum head court
martial and send them to the gallows
or before the. firing squad within
twenty-four hours after the death SEN
fences were passed.
The Horthy government reached
the conclusion that the agitation in
other countries against his white ter
ror injured Hungarian interests
abroad. Instead of proceeding with
the courtmartial as at first proposed
it is now reported that the prisoners
will be given a civil trial. This
change of method by no means i'm
plies that the executions will not take
place. 1t is looked upon as a con-
cession to liberal protestants who are
oftentimes more concerned with the
forms Of oppression rather than to
the results.
The Berlin section of the Interna.
tional Red Aid declared that there
would be no let up in the worldwide
campaign to save Rakosi and his com
rades.

Southern Colleges Under
New Plan.

DECATUR. Ga, September 10
Four Southern educational institutions
have been granted chapters of Phi
Beta Kappa, according to word re-
ceived here. They are Agnes Scott
College of this city, University of
South Carolina, Columbia, S. c.: Uni
versity of the South, Sewanee, Tenn,
and the University of Kentucky, Lex
ington, Ky.
Other institutions which have been
allotted chapters, according to informa-
tion here, are the College of Wooster.
Wooster, Ohio; University of South
Dakota. Nermillion, S. Oak; Occiden-
tai College, Los Angeles. Calf, and
University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho.
These institutions are the first ad-
mitted to the circle of Phi Beta Kappa
chapters under a new plan whereby
invitations are extended to colleges in
stead of having the colleges apply for
membership.
The Phi Beta Kappa Society was
founded in 1875 and is the oldest Greek
letter fraternity in the United States.
1t is not secret or social in character,
the qualification for membership be-
ing based soley upon scholastic stand
ing. Agnes Scott College here is the
Tooth institution to be admitted to
