GENEVA, sept. io-The Polish and
czecho-siovakan governments will
not be allowed to send representatives
to the conference Of foreign ministers
to discuss the proposed "seeurIty''
pact, which In reality Is an attempt
to form united bloc against Soviet
Russia.
Those who will attend are Strese-
mann of Germany, Chamberlain OF
England, BRAND and Painleve Of
France, and probably Premier Mus
solini of Italy. The socialist foreign
minister of Belgium, Vandervelde, is
also to take part in the anti-Soviet
parley. a
The United States government is
being constantly informed as to the
progress Of negotiations, 1t is learned,
the allied governments realizing that
continued credits from America de-
pend on that governments approval

European powers.
The security" pact, which aims to
force Germany to break the Rapollo
treaty with the Soviet Union, and to
gain tighter hold on the smaller
Balkan countries. was inspired by the
English and United States government
officials.

cerblshley the president and his
associate officers were arbitrarily
removed from office by Cobb. At a
union meeting Cobb demanded that
the men elect new officers and re-
turn to work. The men fatty re-
fused. Cobb made wild threats and
did his level best to incIte the mem.
bers Of the union.
A free for all fight developed after
the meeting. This fight was directly
pfecIpitated by supporters Of the
sub-distriot machine who are at the
same time members OF the ku kIux

the fight were the gun that killed
sarovich and blackjack that Cobb
pulled from his pocket.
In the face Of these circumstances
Cobb supported by the sub-dlstrlet
president Lon Fox, had the temerity
to prefer charges Of conspiracy to
murder him against Henry corblsh-
ley and twenty-five other members
Of Local 992. This action called
forth the almost unanimous derlslon
and protest Of the miners Of Sub
District 9. Local union after local
union passed resolutions Of protest
and at the present time there Is an
overwhelming demand for a sub
district convention to put an end TO
this betrayal Of the miners. Yet,
notwithstanding this and the facts
surrounding the ease, Frank Far

that the broad sweep of our move

100000 union men supporting our

mention the great vote of the left

During the past 10 years the cost of living has

them. How Gomez" they muttered
,angrily, when did the faity get it into
their heads that they could horn in on

be done-and there is--we are going
to do it." So they sent McCray to the
can after he collected couple of mil
lions from the bankers.

cannot keep a good man down. Brains
win tell even in prison. McCray gave
himself the job of teaching the other
prisoners how to go straight. He
ought to know" say the other prison
guests, "any man who could steal a

bankers, must have lot of brains"
The reporter who sent out the story
about McCray's pedagogical activities

has started bank to take care of
the prisoners money.
THERE is an election campaign on

one it is. The main prize is the
mayoralty. Hylan and Hearst versus
Walker and Smith. That is the line
UP in the democratic camp. All the
candidates agree that they are all
crooks, and the general, public has no
evidence to the contrary. The repub-
Leans have few puppets competing
for the nomination in the primaries.
The socialist party is running an ex-
preacher by the name of Thomas. The
socialists condemn the non-partisan
policy Of the local labor movement
which is divided between Hylan and
Walker. the anti-Tammany and Tam
many democrats.
T ABOR leaders who are on Hylan's

LONDON, Sept. 1o.-Whie the

tinues at Scarborough, a regular

the government and the capitalist
press.
Much Of the propaganda is directed
toward supposed Communist efforts 10

euvers on Salisbury Plain.
The Sunday Worker, organ Of pro
gressive labor opinion, has the follow
ing to say about this campaign Of In
citement against the Communists
which is suspiciously timed TO aid
the Macdonald, Thomas and Clynes
reactionary element at the Trades
Union Congress:
Where the Red Scare Came From.
"The whole of this press scream is
hung on the peg Of letter from the
Communist Party executive TO that Of
the labor party suggesting that it is
the imperative duty Of the labor
movement, to take steps to prevent
such catastrophe Detailing the work
ers as that the soldiers and sailors
should in ignorance be used as unwit-
ting tools for the destruction Of their
fathers, brothers and fellow workers"
The Sunday Worker continues in
comment, saying, IF a mere sugges-
ton that the rank and file Of the
armed forces should be enlightened as
to the true nature Of the social issue
in dispute raises this amount of
clamor-all these shrieks of sedition

British Faseists Active.
Scotland Yard and the capitalist
press are doing their best to incite
reaction. Monday night British fas-
cists clashed with workers at Isling-
ton, section of London, and the fas-
cists are known to be recruiting open
ly for violence against the workers,
even organizing a nursing staff for
first aid to their shock troops wound
ed in street battles. English dem
ocracy" seems slipping.
In the meantime, at Scarborough
the Trades Union Congress is battle
ground between the right and left
wing. The greatest success of the
left wing is the adoption by the con-
gress of definite action to form shop
committees thruout the nation, the
right wings chief victory being vote
