James Eads How, the hobo million
aire" is back number" at the con-
vention, according to reports. The
migratory workers are antagonistic to
his ideas of improving social condi-

doughnuts and coffe. Tho he gets a
lot Of advertising from the capitalist

from convention delegates.

MEETING AGAINST
FALLING CITLOW
Labor Organizations to
Participate
Especial to The Daily Worker,

NEW YORK, Nov. pa protest
demonstration against the imprison-
ment of Benjamin Gitlow, arranged
by the International Labor Defense,
will take place Tuesday, November
"a, at p m, at Webster Hall, 119 e.
18th Street.
Comrade Gitlow is well known in
the labor movement as one of the best
fighters for its cause. The decision
against Gitlow is a decided menace to
the working class of the whole coun-
try. The sustaining of Gitlow's con-
viction by the United States supreme
court supplies a precedent which will
mean a railroading to long terms in
prison of many other well known
fighters in the ranks of the labor
movement.
The International Labor Defense
is fighting this case, and calls upon
all labor bodies and working class or
CARNATIONS to take the same stand.
This decision of the United States
supreme court must be met with a
united front on the part Of all work
ers Of this country. Come to the de-
monstration. Demand the freedom OF
Comrade Gitlow.
Among the speakers to address the
meeting are Louis Hyman, general
manager joint board of the Cloak,

Committee, Amalgamated Clothing

Communists An Obstacle

TODAY fascsm France looks about for opportunity

With the second fall Of the Paineve cabinet, Sunday,
the forces within the French capitalist state again

Union, and William GALLAGHER
also an engineer and member
of the A. E. U.
There are no other six men in the
country that have worked more eff
fectively in the unions, to secure a
one hundred per cent membership,
to eliminate sectionalism and to make
working class solidarity a fact.
They are to appear at the "Old
Bailey" for trial before jury in a
week or ten days time, they are to be
placed on trial for sedition under the
Indictment to mutiny act of 1897, the
same act that the present writer was
tried under and sentenced to six
months Imprisonment at the Manche-
ster assizes in 1912.
Activities Of Trades Council.
The Trades Councils in England and
Scotland have in earlier times been of
great service to the cause of labor,
but in recent years they have been
frowned on by the council of the
gress itself During the past two
years, however, it has become re-
cognized that the Trades Councils
have very important role to fill, and
mainly as a result of left wing pro-
paganda the General Council of the
Trade Union Congress has convened
a national conference of Trades Coun-
ellis in London, and series of county
conference thruout the country, and
what is known as the Joint Consult
alive Committee is preparing model
rules for Trade Councils with view
to uniformity of action and the link
ing up of the councils nationwide for
national requirements.
The Trades Councils have in a num-
Der of instances been stultiffed by the
fact that many of them paid so much
attention to political affairs that they
seriously neglected industrial matters
Many now see this to be an error and
definite action is being taken to in
dustrilize the councils and to prepare
for concerted action over a big field.
Alliance of Trade Unions.
With the object of preparing for de-
finite action early in 1925, when the
miners and other unions affairs are
expected to become critical, several
of the largest unions have been en-.
gagged forming an alliance. Draft
rules have been agreed upon and
these are being sent to the members
Of the unions concerned, but the Ma
