Selecting Judge to
Sit in Joint Trial
of Indiana Kluxers

NOBLESVILLE, Ind, Aug. 1.-The
task of selecting judge to sit in the
joint trial of David G. Stephenson, Earl
Klinck and Earl Gentry, alleged slav.
ers OF Madge Oberholtzer, was re-
newed here today.
Judge Fred f. Hines of Hamilton
circuit court was disqualified from pre.
siding over the trial when defense
counsel late yesterday led a motion
for change OF Judge.
This motion followed on the heels
OF previous motion granted by Judge
Hines asking for a joint trial of the
trio.
Three Indiana jurists must be
chosen for tentative duty. The state
will eliminate one, the defense an
other, and the third automatically will
become the judge to preside at the
trial.

especial to The Daily Worker,

PARIS, France, August 1.-THE
French government has been forced
to Withdraw troops from the Morocco
front and rush them to Syria, due to
the serious revolt against French Inn
perialism In the Druse country
Two battalions Of the Foreign Lee
gion have already left Morocco for
Beirut and number of tanks, ayia-
ton, infantry and machine gun units
have been dispatched from Marseilles.
The entire French empire seems to
be crumbling. and the bankers, al
ready severely defeated in North
Africa by the Rifians who are de-
Tending the independence Of Morocco,
are now faced with the Syrian revolt.
England Fears Revolt
The Syrfans now have control Of
the state Of Drug, and they are con-
stanlty being REINFORCED by large
numbers of natives.
General Sarrail, the military dicta-
tor of Syria, reports that there are
less than FIVE thousand having been
sent to fight the Moroccans.
The citadel of Suedia is besieged by
the Druse, and the garrison cannot
hold out much longer. The French
have already been severely defeated
in several battles.
That England fears the oppressed
peoples of her colonial empire will
take action similar is shown by Pain

SCAD GARMENT
FIRM REJECTED
BY ROCK ISLAND
international Move Is
Failure; Arrests Here

ROCK ISLAND, Ill.,, Aug. 11.-The
unions Of the Tri-cities, Moline, Rock
Island and Davenport, are backing the
AmaIgamated Clothing Workers In
their strike against the J. |. Taylor
and International Tailoring COM
panies, and have exposed the fact that
these firms have come to Rock Island
to attempt to break the New York
and Chicago strikes.
The Amalgamated has opened offices
in room 204, Industrial Home Building,
thus calling the bluff of the garment
bosses, who said they could hire
enough non-union labor here to begin
production in the bankrupt plant of
the Boone Wooden Mills company.
which the International has leased for
six months.
No Clothing Produced.
The employers of the Tri-Cities do
not invite union concerns to come
here. They are trying to get in scab
firms, in order to reduce wages and
establish the "open shop.
The Daniel Boone Wooden mills
company came here to escape the or
ganized clothing markets but after a
period of stock-jobbing, fake account
Ing and questionable financial prac-
tees, the firm crashed.
The International was invited in as
a worthy successor to this firm Help
was advertised for in the papers, and
not word was mentioned about the
New York and Chicago strikes. Now,
however, the Amalgamated members
have widely spread the news of the
strikes, and the fugitive garment boss
es are unable to secure help. No
clothing is being manufactured, and
no cothing will be manufactured.
Organizers Brought In.
The workers here are determined
that their town will not be given a
national reputation as a harbor for
runaway labor-hating corporations.
The Amalgamated announces that q
staff of organizers will be brought in.
and the tactics of the corporation
given the fullest publicity. "They will
find the Amalgamated as ready to de-
Island as on Jackson Boulevard, in
Chicago" said one union organizer.
1.-THE Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers will carry the light for union
wages wherever the clothing industry
goes, and especially wherever a firm
tries to hide from the organization"
said another union official.
More Plckets Arrested.
Three striking employees of the In
ternational Tailoring company. James
HoVoko, Joe Diciolo and Charles In.
trieri, were arrested while walking
the picket line yesterday.
Agents Of the company approached
one OF the members of the Amalga,
mated who is on strike, and attempted
to bride him to give information con-
corning the activities of the union.
Inls union member was told If he
would induce some of the strikers To
come back to work he would be paid
a large sum of money. The striker

Speech Of d. B. Robertson, presi-
dent of Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen, at its thir-
tieth convention at Detroit, Mich,
June /, 1925
Mr. Green speaks of our alleged ten
dency to arouse race hatred" among
Negro workers against white workers,
but not word does he speak against
the real race hatred which the capt.
talists and their servants are arous-
ing against us and which is one side
of the terrible burden we have to bear.
There is no race hatred in Negroes
against whites. There is no race preju-
dice In American Negroes against
whites, but only a resentment of race
prejudice The coming American Ne
gro Labor Congress is especially di-
rected to finding means Of removing
race hatred from the ranks of the
working people, where it is utilized by
employers for the decentralization and
defeat of the labor unions. What we
have to overcome in the Negro worker
is not trace hatred" but a prejudice
against the organized labor movement,
which prejudice is the sad result of
the brutal cynicism and enmity which
we find among such trade union Off
cials as Mr.. Green shows himself
to be.
1t Is a cynical joke for Mr.. Green
to taunt the organizers Of the Negro
Labor Congress as men who are not
members of trade unions" In the
first place, this is not true, as a large
proportion of us are members of trade
unions. In the second place, exactly
the center Of our grievances is the
fact that the Negro workers are re-
fused the right of admlttance to many
trade unions, and our biggest imme-
date fight is to win admission to
trade unions on an equal basis with
white workers and to bring the masses
of Negro workers into the unions.
The fact that the president of the
American Federation of Labor in de-
our plan does not ESQ far as
the quoted dRnunciation shows) offer
one word of encouragement for US to
enter the unions, altho he knows that
hundreds of thousands Of Negroes are
employed in the large industries with
out organization, and that the fate OF

1t was also pointed out that the communists
hated religion. The truth of these statements
has been most forcefully confirmed by the state
ment of NJ. Zinovieff, head of the Third Inter
rationale of Russia who, from Moscow, on Christ
mas day, while admitting that the communists
had gone ahead a little too vigorously in their
campaign against religion and that they must
hereafter proceed more subtly and cautiously,
said they must go on. His exact language was as
follows:
"We shall pursue our attacks on Almighty
God in due time and in an appropriate man
ner. We are confident We shall subdue Him in
His empyrean. We shall fight Him wherever
He hides Himself, but we must go about such
Il question as antireligious propa ganda more
carefully. Our compaign against God and re-
ligion must be carried out in a pedagogic
way, not by violence or force"
Those who helped fight communism and its
foul teachings may well be ever on the watch
against this thing which would destroy those
things that are clean and descent, the things that
all good loyal Americans stand for.

Radio and Churches

The discussion among prominent clergymen
touching the broadcasting of sermons and other
church services is interesting. They appear to
recognize radio as n valuable agency in religious
activity, but some among them are inclined to
distrust its ultimate good effect.
The ultimate effect should be for good if the
radio product is kept worthy. The minister who
has no message, no fire, no power of course, can
expect nothing of material assistance through
the use of the radio for broadcasting services.
But the man worthy of his calling should, and
will, find it this supplementary agency a pow
erful force for extending the truths he feels and
utters.
1t is true that there is something Of appeal
ing force and influence III the church atmos-
phere, in the sacred solemnity of the church,
temple or cathedral, but faith is Independent
of these. The true temple of worship must al
ways remain the human soul.
Since the development of radio the words and
thoughts of the great and progressive thinkers
in the field of religion have been delivered to null
titndes who otherwise would not have been reach
ed by them. And these, who before had not heard
the words and thoughts of men whose souls are
aflame with divine fervor, thus may be led to
seek the living presence of the author of faith
and find supreme spiritual satisfaction in meet
ings face to face, a satisfaction, perhaps, that
may not be experienced in fullest degree save in
temples dedicated to worship.
With radio as their servant the churches have
Ut their disposal an instrument of tremendous
potency for the accomplishment of a closer union,
u union that would bring all the men of all faiths
together. Radio should become the wings of n
wider religion. May such prove to be its supreme,
altimate mission!

The Common Complaint

American education fails in Intellectual thor
oughness, declared H.. a. L. Fisher, former min
lister of education, in a lecture on the observa-
tions he made in his recent American tour.
NO American public school can challenge
Westminster or st. Pauls and no American uni
versity can vie with Oxford or Cambridge" he
said. 1--WE have many lessons to learn from
America, but America in turn has even more to
learn from us.
"The sums put into education in America are
simply staggering and steadily Increasing. Amer
ica's astonishing liberality has conceived the idea
of free full-time secondary education for all citi,
zens. Whether with all her wealth this outlay can
be afforded remains to be discovered, but there
has sprung up II tendency to challenge the cost
and test the credentials of the educational system
Offered to the public"
