Levin COUNTS
THE VOTES IN
AMALGAMATED
Members Take Figures
Nth Grain of Salt

The election of joint board officials
in the Chicago AmaIgamated Cloth
ing Workers have just come to an
end. It will probably take another
few days before the results of the
election will be announced. There is
no doubt that the officials will try to
use the figures of the election as a
proof for their constant cry that they
still enjoy the full confidence" Of
the membership, that there is no
place for an opposition In the Chicago
AmaIgamated, that their policies, pro-
gram and actions of last year are APP
proved by the membership.
In this, as we'll as in all previous
elections, the figures Of votes cast
do not mean everything. For not un-
til the membership cast their votes
overwhelmingly for the progressive
program will the disparity between
the votes cast and those counted, that
has been notable characteristic of
previous elections, continue to pre-
vail.

is essential that proletarian writer's

field correspondents can be created
that will know how TO handle all
labor news in manner that will
appeal to the working class.
All worker correspondents and
those who want to take up this
work should attend the Wieks meet
ings and remain afterwards to take
up this question with comrads

MORE GUNNER
Than SCABS
At Edison Co.
But Production Fades
as Scabs Vanish

The strike against the Edison EIec-
trio Appliance company conducted by
the Sheet Metal Workers is now en-
tering the third week with the ranks
Of the strikers remaining solid and
the picket line unbroken.
The company is now working the
few scabs overtime and promising to
play the role of Santa Claus but in
spite of all the promises there are
fewer scabs working now than in the
beginning of the strike and produc-
ton is yet paralyzed.
The company is employing more
special deputies or gunner than scabs
in order to make the outside world
believe that work is being performed.
These professional strike-breakers are
proving around the sidewalk sup
posedly to protect the company's pro-
perties but in reality to prevent the
strike pickets from talking to the
scabs. These plugg-ugglies follow you
in the street cars and the elevated
trains in order to prevent you from
heaving a peaceful argument with
those scabbing.
The Edison Appliance Co. is a
notorious open shop concern and a
subsidiary Of the General Electric Co.
The struck plant is located on Sind
and 10Th st. in Cicero.

NORTH DAKOTA
FARMER-LADOR
PARTY Formed
Meeting Agrees on Plan
for Northwest Drive
By Allied kMuTsoM


BISMARCK, North Dakota, Dec. 20
Despite all Of the desperate efforts
Of several Of the old time, die-hard,
fossolized nonpartisan Ieaeuers to
prevent the formation Of farmar-
labor party, a farmerIabor party was
formed at the gathering Of North Da-
kots farmers here.
The resolution which was SPONSOR
ed by the Williams county delegation
and was adopted by the conference
calls for the organization Of the party
along class lines.
The platform Of the newly organ
lied farmer-labor party among other
things, declares for the public owner
ship of railroads, coal mines and wa
ter power; the reduction of tariffs
and the gradual abolition Of chattel
and farm mortgages.
A committee of five was elected to
lay plans for the calling Of a confer
ence of the northwestern and the Pa
ciflc northwest states sometime in

WORLD UNITY OF
WORKERS NEEDED

Wake Up America! Cry
British Unionists
BY TOM MANN.
Special London Correspondent for
The Daily Worker.

LONDON, Dec. 2O-The capitalist
international combine formed at Lo-
carno has now been termed the treaty
of London, and it is alleged great and
glorious results win accrue therefrom.
Sir B. Pares has been lecturing at
the school Of Slavonic studies, where
Sir Benjamin gave an address on re-
cent information as to conditions in
Russia. He said "The Russian Com
munists had great victory at the
Trade Union Congress at Scarborough,
but that had been followed by a re-
verse, and the Locarno pact hit them
far harder than the resolutions OF any
political party or the prosecutions Of
Communist agitators." A principal OBJ
ject Of this treaty OF pact beyond
doubt has been to put a fence round
Russia and at least to attempt her
isolation.

Miners Lose Right to
Decide Use of Timber

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (FP)
For 10 years. miners employed in
the state coal mines in New Zealand
have had the right to decide what
timbering should be used to make
their working places reasonably safe
against accident. The government, in
order to cheaper production, has now
filched this right from the miners. A
strike is now in progress as a result
of the governments action.

Of British imperialism's diplomatic
preparation for making war on the

nova, on February IS, next,
War Disguised as Peace.
Under the camoufiage of pacifica-
tion," states the Izvestia, an adroit
move in diplomatic game is being
carried on by Great Britain. The
Izvestia says, according to dispatches,
that Soviet Russia will gladly parti-
cipate in such conferences, but the
charge is made that the conference
was set for Geneva purposely 70 make
Soviet participation difficult, Nsince
Soviet Russia has a strict boycott on
Switzerland since the unpublished as
sassination at Lausanne, Switzerland,
in 1923, of the Soviet Ambassador
vaslav Vorovsky.
Refusal to participate, however"
says the Izvestia, would be playing
into the hands of the league of ma
tons and would brand the Soviet
union as an enemy of peace"
That the Soviet government is GER
tain to participate is the conclusion
from expressions of opinion quoted as
coming from a high official at Mos
COW. But the Bolsheviks are fully
aware of the hypocrites they are deal,
ing with. This, too, is indicated in
the official statements, which are
quoted as follows:

while we are still skeptical of the
European nations real desire for dis
armament, we are willing to make an
other effort to establish general peace
and economic cooperation among all
mankind.
with this end in view, we are
ready to put before the conference a

TURKEY WILL
GO to- WAR TO
DEFEND MOSUL
Tewfk Bey Scorns the
League,of Nations

PARIS, Dec. 2o.-Wth the Turkish
national assembly sitting day and
night trying to determine Turkeys
course of action In the face of the
decision of the league of nations Civ
ng the Mosu oil land to Great Brit
aims hands by presenting it to the
puppet kingdom of lrak, the POSSIBLE
ity Of war looms in the Near East
between Turkey and her possible
allies and Great Britain backed by
the league Of nations.
This possibility of war is made very
realistic by the words of Tewfk
Rushdi Bey. Turkish foreign minister
now in Paris. He says:
"Mosul is Turkish and Turkey is
prepared to fight to defend Turkish
territory, despite the league Of ma
TONS award of Mosul to Irak and
Great Britain. We are being threaten
ed ON our own soil
Concerning thes report that Great
Britain was considering making offers
of loans and concessions to Turkey if
it would accept the theft of Mosul,
Tewfik said
III Great Britain offers reasonable
terms we will accept them; but if she
offers unreasonable terms-well. what
would the United States do If Japan
seized some of IT'S territory? Fight,
of course.
A British Promise.
"The basis OF the Turkish grievance
is the promise made by the Marquis
Curzon in the Lausanne treaty confer
ance, that Mosul never would be dis
posed of without the consent of Tur-
key. Why, then, should 1t be neces-
sary for Turkey to go to the league?
I'VE don't care about the league of
nations or the Hague tribunal deci-
sion. They mean nothing in our lives.
n would be a fit subject for an
insane asylum II even expected a
just decision from the league of ma
tions," concluded the Turks foreign
minister In no uncertain language.
Tewfik Bey. when asked IL he had
visited Tchitcherin, the Soviet com
missar OF foreign affairs, now in
Paris stated that he had seen Tchit-
cherin, but would not speak of what
was discussed.
