class uSQLerS.
The agenda of the local conferences
which meet Sunday afternoon in most
of the major cities and many smaller
ones from New York to Los Angeles,
include concrete points dealing with
the immediate work Of Labor Defense.
The formation of permanent, solid
membership organizations in the cit
les in which conferences are being
held win be the chief task. The To-
cal units of international Labor De-
Tense will consist of permanent, indi-
idual dues paying membership
branches and collective affiliations
from workers organizations such as
trade unions, benefit societies, COOP
eratives, etc.
zeiaIer Case,
The feature of both the conferences
and mass meetings will be the defense
Of the Is coal miners of Zeigler, Ill,
who are face to face with being rail-
roaded to prison by conspiracy be-
tween their own union officials and
the mine operators. The white terror
in Europe will be an important con-
sideration before the conferences and
resolutions of protest will be passed
and sent to the Polish, Roumanian
Bulgarian and Esthonian ambassadors
at Washington. Agitation for the re-
lease Of the two soldiers, Crouch and
Trumbull. who are now in Alcatraz
Prison, California, will be considered
and resolutions asking their release
will be sent to the United States war
department.
Endorse National Conference.
The local conferences will endorse
the resolutions and constitution of In
ternational Labor Defense that were
formulated by the National Defense
conference held in Chicago last June
and will elect local executive COM
mittees to direct the work of the
units set up. The first work of the
new organizations will be the raising
of funds for the zeigler defense and
for supplying aid to the more than one
hundred class war prisoners in the
jails Of America and their families.

The Baldwin government is alarmed
at the reported alliance between the

ing is also blow to French imperial

Great Britain has fatty refused to dis

Especial to The Daily worksr)

ZEIGLER,s Ill.,. Sept. 11.-Of the
twenty-six Zeigler miners for whom,
originally. warrants were sworn out
by d. B. Cobb, vice president of sub
district No. 9, u. M. w. of A. charging
that they conspired to murder him at
a union meeting following local
strike in Zeigler. Ill. several weeks
ago, fifteen have been held for the
grand jury. At the preliminary hear
ing held in Benton where Cobb ap-
peared with 20 witnesses and a special
prosecutor, the prosecution and its
witnesses cut confused figure under
examination and 1t developed that
some of those indicted were not within
miles of where the melee in which
Cobb was roughly handled occurred.
Despite this fifteen were bound over.
All of these are progressives and have
consistently opposed the corrupt prac-
,tices Of the sub-district officials. They
are:
Chas. Corbishley, Henry Corbishley,
Frank Corbishley, Matt Crnoevich,
Ignatz Semich, Martin Semich, Frank
Skibinski, Oscar Farthing, Bert Earth
ing, Pete Blazin, Steve Meanovich,

The grand jury will meet the first
part of October and in all likelihood
will indict at least some OF the zeigler
men. An interesting fact has been
disclosed concerning Lon Fox, presi-
dent Of the sub-district miners organ
ization who signed the warrant with
Cobb. II has been found that Fox
posted the $4,000 bond that secured
the release of Alex Hargis, khan sup,

SP AN|SH LOST
IN FOG, RIFFS
GET UPPER HAND
Tetuan at Mercy of
Krim's Forces
Especial to The Daily wOrksr)

PARIS, France, Sept. 1t.-Dense
fogs, foreshadowing the closing in OF
the dread rainy season, have settled
over all northern Africa, and the
Spanish and French drives against the
Hlffian natives are lost in the fog
banks.
The Spanish force which landed
on the shores of Alhucemas Bay is in
a critical situation, being unable to
see its fleet or to follow the moves of
the Moroccans. The Spanish column
is helpless on the tip of Cape Moor.
Planes Forced Down.
Tetuan, which has been surrounded
by the Rifian soldiers. seems to be at
the mercy of Abd-el-Krim.
The 800 airplanes, which have been
bombarding Adjir, Krim's capital, and
other towns, have been withdrawn
from the air because Of the weather
and the Spanish-French armies have
thus lost their eyes. Among the planes
forced to cease activity were those
manned by the Sheridan escadrille,
composed of Americans who volun-
teered to aid the French bankers car
ry out their program of slaughter in
Africa. These planes had bombed
Sheshuan seventeen times.
Rivera Asks More Troops.
The French government has de-
finitely decided not TO push its present
offensive further than the Spanish
protectorat frontier, because OF the OBJ
lection of England and Italy, it is re-
ported. Thus the Spanish forces at
Tetuan and Alhucemes Bay are in a
serious position.
The Spanish dictator, Primo de
Rivera, has cabled frantically to
Madrid for unlimited REINFORCE
ments."
The Riffians have cut the roads
from Tetuan to Ceuta and Tangier.

AS WE SEE 1T
BY T. J. o'FLAHERTY

WHO is running this country? The
w capitalist politicians tell us that
the "peepul' are doing the running,
and every Tom, Dick and Harry you
meet on the street cars or hanging on
to them, going to and coming from
work. sIaps himself on the back and
with an Andy Gump grin, consoles
himself in his misery with the thot
that he is one of the "peepul." 1t
used to be said in the old days when
the Roman eagles were planted in
almost every corner of the then
known world that there was no
prouder title than that of citizen of
Rome.
WHAT that meant to the average
w Roman who had to lug wine to his
masters table and supply his mis-
tresses' boudoir with perfume, all for
a bare existence, is just what the
title of American citizen means to the
average wage serf employed by a
Gary. a Rockefeller or a Ford The
psychological hop that is injected into
his system by the capitalist press
does not differ materially from the
dope that was used by the Roman rul-
ing class over one thousand years ago.
IF the workers of the United States
4 think they are running this coun-
try, they are crazy, without knowing
il. What prompted me to ask this
question is a little news item that ap-
peared in a labor paper, which shows
that Andrew Mellon. secretary of the
treasury, paid tax of S1,SS2, 609.25 on
his 1924 income. Quite neat little
sum Andy owned a thriving distil-
lery business which is still doing bus
mess, tho Andy put it In new hands
a few weeks ago. Andy has the job
OF putting teeth in the Yolstead act.
A NDY'S brother, X. B. Mellon, came
"A within half a million of paying
as much as the whiskey secretary of
the treasury. High on the list was
Hell an Maria" Dawes, vice-presi-
dent. He paid over $4,000 on his
1924 income. Our friend, ]. p Nor
gan, coughed up over half million.
This is merely few names picked at
random from the list OF those whose
income tax payments prove that they
are the real owners of the country
and not the deluded workers who pro-
duce the wealth on which those para
sites are paying taxes. Those who
