PURCELL CALLS
ON WORLD | AB0R
To- AID CHINA
Suggests Green of u. S.
Might Wake Up

LONDON, June g. by Mail)-
A. A. Purcell, of the general council
of the Trades Union Congress, and
president of the International Fedora
ton of Trade Unions, speaking on the
Chinese situation said:
"The appeal of the Chinese workers
calls for immediate action on our
part, and trust their appeal will re-
suit in energetic steps being taken
by the general council of the T. U. c.,
commensurate with our estimate of
the situation from working class
point of view.8
1T it a question so serious that
it calls aloud for wider ATTENTION, pro-
test and action
Clearly, European and American
militarism are already involved in an
attempt to crush the Chinese workers
efforts to ameliorate, in however
slight degree, the industrial condi-
tinos forcibly imposed by a soulless
capitalism.

Shanghai millowners," continued Mr..
Purcell, compare to a nicely with
those obtaining in. this country a
century ago.
Our immediate duty is to see that
the international sweaters and black
guards of today are stripped of the
so-called legal aid of the naval and
military forces.
rs it too much to expect that our
friend Green, the president-elect OF
the American Federation of Labor to,

Jouhaux for France and Daragona for

working class, will take immediate
steps to protest, and press their
respective governments to stop in

Chinese workers, whose crime is sim.

What splendid chance" Purcell
concluded, ito help forward the cause

"Beggar on Horseback"
Is Done in the Movies

JUDGING from the policy of advance
reviewers to damn with faint
praise the film version of Kaufman
and Connolly's satire, THE Beggar on
Horseback it ought to be good en-
tertainment for those anxious to
CLEAN an occasional good thing from
the heaps of chaff turned out by the
movie trust thresher.
Instead of attacking it outright as
a Bolshevik affront to all sacred bour-
geois ideals the reviewers use the
more deadly weapon patronization.
While excellently made with unusual
ly artistic and bizarre sets, this will
not prove interesting entertainment
to the great majority Of picture-goers.
Highbrows may like it,"
That last line is the most potent
appeal possible to make the theater
owner stay away from this picture.
Those interested had better go to see
it at the first opportunity, it may
not reach "neighborhoods" except in
houses that have bought up the
whole Paramount block.
g. At best, satire needs intel
ligent, thoughtful minds to grasp the
points unless it is laid on in thick
broad strokes. :" And Of course,
the movie reviewer will never give the
mass credit for possessing any kind
of mind.
g. 1t is subject matter which
will fail deplorably particularly in
smaller communities or in houses 9TH
er than first-run and it is a serious
question just how we'll the picture
will stand up in frst-runs.
THE story, such as it is, is pre-
sented as a sort of dream and in the
end tie composer who is in love with
the poor girl and thinks Gin the
dream) that he is married to the rich
girl, finishes of course, happily with
his sweetheart. But before this comes
a conglomeration of wierd, perhaps in
teresting scenes, but certainly not en-
tertaining." Film Daily, June 14.)
So here we have, then, a classic
example, of an occasional unorthodox
offering made by the trust and killed
off further down the line in order to
prove that only junk is wanted in the
theaters. The best time to see Beg
gar on Horseback" will be on its open
ing day.

BUILDERS Will
IGNORE SECOND
LANDIS' AWARD
Page Not GiUen 0. K.
of Trades Council
BY CARL HAESSLER,
Federated Press.)

"of course such decision means
nothing" is the considered retort of
Pres. Patrick F. Sullivan, Chicago
building trades council, to the ludic-
rousIy onesIded opinion Of Federal
Judge Page on the question whether
union craftsmen shall further tolerate
non-union men on the job in violation
Of the contractors agreement.
When the union unanimously decid-
ed to enforce the union shop clause in
their agreement with the Building
Construction Employers Assn, the
contractors ran to Judge Page for an
Interpretation.
Page obeyed Contractors.
The unions took no part in the in
depreciation farce except to notify
Page in advance that they did not ac-
cept him as umpire and that the mat
ter was specifically excepted from ar
bitration by the joint agreement. Page
interpreted just the same, and just as
the contractors told him to.
Ready for Strike.
eff the contractors want to go
ahead violating their agreements with
us it will mean building strikes until
they respect their contracts" Sullivan
says in reply. I'VE are more than
fair to them. We will not interfere
with any jobs already let where the
crafts are now working with some
non-union men on the job. But all
new work must be under the agree
ment signed by the contractors with
our council under which building pro-
ceeds in Chicago. Contractors can
wind up their old work and go out of
business if they like, but if they want
to continue they must fulfill their obli-
cations to the unions. And if they
try to start new work in violation we
will tie up their old work as we'll"
Test Comes Soon.
The kernel of the controversy is the
sympathetic strike. This is the prin-
cipal weapon the unions have in deal
ing with lawless contractors. That is
why the unions insist on their con-
tractural right to quit any job if the
contractor hires non-union men of
their own craft or any other organized
craft on that particular job or any
other job in Cook county. If mere
honor won't bring contractors to time
it would be suicide for unions to give
up the sympathetic strike, Sullivan as
serts.
The test will come as soon as work
starts on contract let since notice
was issued June l Of enforcement of
the agreement.

DAS, LEADER OF
INDIA'S SWARAJ
MOVEMENT, DIES
Had Agreed to Make
Agreement with British
BY ESTHER LOWELL,
Federated Press.)

NEW YORK, June 21-Chitta Ran
jan Das, member of the All-India
Trade Union Congress executive COM
mittee and president in 1923 Of the
Indian trade union congress, leader of
the Indian swaraj Freedom) move
ment, has died.
Das was mayor of Calcutta at his
death and his party held rs out of
"a seats in the Calcutta municipal as
sembly after their contest of the 1924
election. The Swarai party holds
many other officers in local and pro-
vincial governments. The freedom
party is so strong that the British
must openly defy the Indian repre-
sentatives in legislative assemblies
and show that they rule by force. The
Bengal ordinance designed by the Bri-
fish to check the growing nationalist
and Indian freedom movement was
defeated in the assembly because Das
rose from a sickbed to lead the oppo-
sition but the British governors put
the ordinance into effect neverthe-
less.
Das wanted to use the general
strike to aid in the achievement of
Indian freedom and so became active
in the organization of Indian work
ers. He was influential in forcing
Ghandi slightly beyond his non-violent
non-co-operation position. Das was
reported after his April statement of
the minimum demands of the Indian
ready to deal with Lord Birkenhead,
nationalists and revolutionists to be
secretary of state for India, in set
ting up some sort of freer govern
ment by Indians within the British
empire.
Roy, the Communist leader Of the
Hindu workers, has denounced this
with British imperial
ism.
The successor of Das as leader of
the Swaraj party will probably be
Matilal Nehru, also formerly lawyer.

SHOE WORKERS
UNION WINNING
PHILA. STRIKE

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 21.-The
strike of the shoe Workers Protective
Union against the Open Shop move
started by the manufacturers associa-
ton four weeks, ago is assuming great
er proportions and Importance as the
time goes on. The first victory of the
strikers in forcing the Culton and
NAMES shop to settle with all union
demands has been answered by the
bosses with bitter drive against the
remaining strikers.
The Star Shoe Co. which has 40 men
out on strike has so far only succeed
ed to keep three scabs on the job and
the boss, Mr.. Berliner expressed his
rage against the successful pickets by
having the General Organizer, Frank
Di Liberty, arrested on some flimsy
pretext Tuesday and secured his
brother to help him beat up the chair
man of the shop, M. Canusi, with a
club.
Di Liberty was released Wednesday
and is now on the job stronger than
ever. Some of the strikers are still
wondering why the police did not ar
rest Mr. Berliner and his brother for
beating up Canusi who was peacefully
picketing the shop.
The manufacturers association,
being disappointed by the desertion
from their ranks of the NAMES and
Culton shop, which had settled with
the union, decided to have another
shop challenge the union by refusing
TO reorganize the union working per-
nit.
The Shoe Workers Protective Union
took up the challenge by calling out
the 40 workers in the shop and Sc
curing a unanimous response. This
was the Philadelphia Shoe Co.
The expert method of the strikers
in keeping the scabs from the struck
shops, and the Star Shoe Co., is fine
example. Having 40 men out, the boss
has succeeded in securing and keeping
only three scabs. This method and the
general militancy Of the strikers will
shortly force the two remaining shops
to recognize the. unions demands.
This attempt Of the organized bosses
to break the union will result in the
establishment Of a more powerful
Shoe Workers Union in Philadelphia.

FACE Jail FOR
SCHOOL FIGHT
Penalty One Year For
Disturbing Morals"

NEW YORK, June 21.-The two
members Of the Young Workers
League Of New York, Comrades Jer-
ONE Brand and Zolten Friedman, who
were arrested for distributing May
Day leaflets in front Of high schools,
have been found guilty and will be
sentenced in few days.
The law under which they were SEN
fenced is generally known as the
"dragnet provision" and covers any
thing that other laws do not. 1t was
probably passed Immediately after the
revolutionary war. 1t holds persons
who act contrary to the public peace,
or seriously disturbing the public
peace or public health, or public NOR
ais guilty of heinous offense. The
law calls for penalty Of either one
year, or an indeterminate sentence of
three months to three years.
Shows Fear of Working Class
The Young Workers League will
not be frightened by this effort on the
part of the capitalist class and it's
lackeys to cease it's activities. The
work in the schools among the work
ing class children will be continued
with greater energy. The harsh meth
DDS employed by the ruling class in
dealing with the comrades is indica-
tive of their fear that the schools will
no longer serve as an undisputed field
for capitalist propaganda.
Leaflet Exposed Bosses "Edueation."
The leafet which the comrades dis
tributed, pointed out to the students
very clearly that the schools are be-
ing used by the capitalist class to per-
vert the minds of the children of the
working class, and to turn out fAith-
full servants for capitalism. 1t called
upon the students to unite with the
young workers in the Young Workers
League and to fight against capitalism.
The league win continue the campaign
in spite of all efforts to intimidate and
terrorize us.
