have these hitherto unorganized and

CITLOW CALLS
FOR DEFIANCE
OF INJUNCTION
Continued from page ~

Workers Union are mobilizing their
membership to come en- masse to the
meeting. The following is the text Of
Gitlow's statement:
On the Injunction.
1.-THE sweeping and unprecedented
injunction issued by Justice Guy in
favor of the Industrial Council of
Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers
against the striking cloakmakers of
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers is intended for only one
purpose-to break the strike and rob
the cloakmakers Of the fruits Of their
struggle by compelling them to sub
NIT to compulsory arbitration.
Follows Arbitration Move.
This injunction follows close on the
heels Of the threat of Governor Smith
to the general strike committee of
the cloakmakers that they are ex-
pected to submit to compulsory arbi-
tration If the negotiations with the
manufacturers fail. There can be no
question that Governor Smith, who is
being groomed for the presidency, is
behind this injunction.
1T is his answer to the courageous
stand OF the cloakmakers in rejecting
a method OF settling the strike which
means returning to work on the manu-
facturers' terms.
Aid to The Bosses.
Compulsory arbitration means
compulsory slavery, and injunctions
go hand in hand with this method of
prevent the workers from using their
their power to win their just demands.
Compulsory arbitration is intended to
prevent the workers from usinng their
economic power and injunctions to
prevent picketing and strikes when
workers resort to their economic
power.
Keep on Picketlna.
THE labor movement has quite en-
phatically declared that injunctions
are unconstitutional and that workers
must continue with their strikes and
with picketing and destroy the effec.
tiveness and defeat the Injunction.
The cloakmakers Of New York City
now engaged in a bitter struggle for
most elementary demands. must not
be intimidated by injunctlons and
threats OF compulsory arbitration.

RABBI SPEAKS
TO U. 7. ". IN
LAST SESSION
Refutes MacMahon and
Defends Weisbord
Especial to The Daily worker)

NEW YORK, Sept. 20. - OPP -
Unsparing praise for Albert Weisbord
and the United Front Committee for
their leadership of the Passaic textile
strike thru long months of attack by
the employers and their agents was
voiced by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise Of
this city in an address at the final
session Of the United Textile Workers
convention.
THAT fight in Passaic stands out as
the greatest labor demonstration in
the textile industry's history" declar-
ed Rabbi Wise. 1T is to be hoped that
the United Textile Workers will carry
on the struggle as militantly as it has
been waged in the past"
He pointed out that success in Pas
sale was vital both to the U. T. w.
and the A. F. of L.; if the right to
collective bargaining were established
in Passaic, it would help greatly in
organizing workers everywhere. He
said that of his own knowledge
the Passaic strikers had been
consistently peaceful, and that the
violence in that section was done by
the police, acting in behalf of the en-
ployers.

COOLIDGE SEEKS
TO SAVE TYRANT
FROM REBELLION
Stops Arms and Works
for Compromise
tspeoIaI % rhs DalIy worker

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. -(FP)-
President Coolidge has ordered that
shipments of arms from the United
States to Nicaragua be stopped and
has thereby forced the liberals who
are fighting to restore constitutional
government to negotiate a eompro-
mise with Chamorro, military dictator
and reactionary usurper of the gov
eminent.
EVasiVe Support of chamorro.
Latin-American diplomats in Wash
ington believe that any compromise
which does not restore the liberals to
power will be considered in Central
America as a palpable evasion by Coo
lidge of the American guaranty of sup.
port for elected governments there.
The Game Progresses.
Latest dispatches say that this
game has progressed far enough so
that the American charge d'affaires,
Lawrence Dennis, has arranged a con-
ference, with the consent of dictator
Chamorro, into which he hopes to in
veigle the leaders of the national
liberal party to consider a settlement.
Naturally, under the circumstances,
this is plainly a protection of Cha
MORO from complete defeat at the
hands of the revolutionists. The U. S.
agent holds out the bait to those i'm
prisoned by Chamorro of release in
order to take part in the conference
and arrive at peace" Which means
a comprl Mise in aid of Chamorro.
May Not Fall Into Trap.
1t is not certain yet that the ma
tional liberal party will consent to
fall into this trap. Communication is
cut off with the liberal party leaders
in the field. But Dennis is trying the
trick and hopes to get the conference
by Sept. 26.
The U. S. pretends, of course to be
neutral" and will arrange for the
conference to be held on the neutral"
place on board U. S. warship.

The Illinois Miner.
There is a leading story on the
front page of the Illinois Miner, off,
cial organ of the old Harrington ma
chine, which proves that Farrington's
deposition has not changed matters
even slightly. In fact the removal of
Harrington solidifies the Lewis ma
chine in Illinois, as Fishwick and
Lewis can open a new ledger in ac-
cord with the latest innovations in
political bookkeeping, since Earring
tons removal cancels the old debts.
Farrlngton's Man.
Fishwick is Farrington's man, or
he was before the blowout. The pro-
gressives believe he will be as faith
ful to the Peabody Coal company as
Harrington was. With harrington
drawing $4,000 year from the Pea
bodys and Fishwick on the Illinois
Miners Union payroll, the operators
have no reason to regret the strate-
gy that turned over the Harrington
contract to John L. Lewis. All the
official supporters of Lewis and Far
rington believe in cooperating with
the coal operators. Whether they
cooperate" on a straight salary or
on a union salary with a commission
from the operators does not make
much difference to the coal diggers.
TWO Machines Grind as One.
The outstanding fact OF the situa-
ton in the Illinois Miners Union
Just now is the Fishwick-Lewis ALI
ance. To say that the harrington
and Lewis machines have united is no
exaggeration.
The Illinois Miner publishes a state
ment from Lewis, Fishwick and
Sneed. All three express pleasure
with the turn Of events, praise each
other and say nothing about the is
sues that confront the miners. Lewis
testifes to the whole-souled disinter-
estedness OF Fishwick Fishwick
hands bouquet to Sneed and Sneed
declares that HIS withdrawal was de-
termined In no small degree by HIS
old friendship with Fishwicls.
