LABOR PLANNING
CELEBRATION, OF
The REVOLT TION
July 18th Demonstrations
in Many Cities


There will be all kinds of Fourth
of July celebrations and demonstra.
tions. Workers are only too well &C
quainted with the regulation anti.
labor, spread-eagle, jingoistic drivel
regularly poured out every year by
the regular run of politicians, bust
ness men and other leaders of the
community" No wonder that most
militant and advanced workers have
come to look upon the Fourth of
July with feeling of disgust and re-
pugnance.
The Workers VIII Demonstrate.
But this year-one hundred and
fifty years after the signing of the
Declaration of IndependVree-. there
will be new kind of ,we ,,4th demon
stration. Probably for m first time
in the history of this cSalAfy the mill
tant revolutionary wor IN are going
to demonstrate on the d nth of July.
In every part of I'll land mass
meetings, picnics, outip# land affairs
of many other kinds } being ar
ranged. At these demd dtrations the
signifi of the Ann eican revolu-
ton for the working lass will be
brot out and discussedl The Ameri-
can workers will learr the lessons
that the American reAdution holds
for them in the class Il ,uggle of to-
day They will learn 1T the Revo-
luton of '76 was the PIG American
revolution and that thfSime is now
ripe for another Americas revolution
the revolution of thehA orkers and
poor farmers against Il 6scapitalists.
Reveal Role of Wor rs Party.
The role of the e evolutionary
party in this strua will be
brought out thru lid ration, com
parsons, and contrasts 18th the stu
alton in the first Ameri h revolution.
Appeals will be made Iso the class
conscious revolutionary workers to
join the Workers (Communist) Party
and help solidify the ranks of the or
ganized vanguard of the working
class.
Upon the 15Oth anniversary of the
Declaration Of independence the
American working class must make
an effort to show that q has become
mature enough to claim Its inheritance
of the revolutionary traditions of the
past. 1t must meet thek challenge OF
the bourgeoisie who ham appropriat
ed, distorted, and misuse4 these tradi-
lions for reactionary pl'noses. The
revolutionary traditieIa- of the past
belong to the only revol 1ionary class
of today, the working Elass. 1t re-
mains with the workerE themselves
whether they will accept these tradi-
tons and carry them forward or
whether they will leavet them to the
bourgeoisie to distort and to use for
counterrevolutionary ends.

lance to demands which, if submitted
to, will be extended to the whole
working class.
Waiting for Starvation.
The mine owners and the govern.
ment are now merely waiting until the
sufferings of our people become unen-
durable, and they are forced by sheer
starvation to submit. We are con-
WINGED that the organized labor move
ment will not allow us to go under,
and is fully prepared to give us the
necessary support.
Such support will naturally take
two forms, financial aid and sympa
thetic action. We are asking every
trade union to assist us, both cen
trally and thru its local organizations
and membership, with financial aid.
We also ask all organizations con-
cerned with transport to take definite
sympathetic action, by authorizing
their members to refuse to handle
coal while the lockout continues.
We submit these requests for your
earnest consideration, and shall be
glad to have your decision at the earli-
est possible moment.
Finally, on behalf of the executive
committee, we wish in the name of
the British miners and their families
to thank all who have so generously
given us their aid, in action, in money,
and in personal service.
Yours fraternally,
On behalf of the Miners Federation
of Great Britain,

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-A search

couraged to offer a stubborn resist
ance by our appreciation of the fact
that any weakness on our part, while
providing no remedy whatever for the
coal problem, would be followed by
the extension of wage cuts and longer
hours to the workers in other indus
tries. This is recognized by the whole
Trade Union Movement, which has
repeatedly pledged its support for the
stand we are taking.
Profits from the Industry.
The government and the mine own
ers base their propaganda against the
miners on the alleged serious flnan-
cial position of the industry. We can
not forget that in the past IL years
the mine owners have made on an
estimated capital of ESQ, 900, 900
profits amounting to 9212,000, 900,
while in addition, royalty owners dur
ing these IL years, has taken some
975,000,000 from the industry.
Nevertheless, we realize that the
economic position of the industry, in
its present state of Reorganization,
requires urgent attention. The only
treatment which will be effective with
out forcing the actual producers OF
wealth into starvation and worsened
conditions, has repeatedly been made
clear by us, and in its main outlines
has been accepted by four official in
quiries, in 1919. 1924, 1925, and 1885.
Such treatment involves:
~ Scientific reorganization Of
the coal and allied industries on a
national basis, with the closing
down of un-economic pits, and pro-
vision for the men who are dis
placed.
(2) Elimination of the middlemen
by the municipal distribution of coal
at home, and by the formation of
cooperative selling agencies for the
export trade, thus Increasing the
net proceeds received by the col

EARTHQUAKES
IN MANY PARTS
OF The WORLD

SANTA BARBARA, Cal. June 3d.
An earth trembler was felt in Santa
Barbara, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Ven
tura, Santa Monica, Long Branch, Ok
nard and as far south as Ell Segundo.
One child was killed in Santa Bar
bara when a chimney toppled over.
Many buildings that had been weak
ened in the earth trembler which
Santa Barbara had exactly year ago
were further weakened.

deposed and parasite Hohenzollern
dynasty in Germany. Catholic work
ers in Germany instinctively turned
against their church as the betrayer
of labor's interests. The same de-
velopment proceeds in all other
European countries, and it doesn't
matter whether the organized reli-
gion involved is catholic or protest
ant, Jew or gentle.
The DAILY WORKER pointed out
that the most favored guests at the
eucharistic ceremonies were the
catholic laymen of great wealth.
Thus Samuel insult, the traction
and power kaiser of Chicago, who is
charged with raising half a million
dollars to win the republican sena-
torial nomination in Illinois for his
political agent, Colonel Frank L.
Smith, organized party of 80 pill
grims" to go to Mundelein. They
did not make the trip on foot. They
rode in state in Is gorgeous limou-
sines, escorted by motorcycle police
men, and witnessed the ceremonies
from section reserved for them
facing the altar Catholic workers,
especially those in the great basic
industries, may we'll study the names
of the pilgrims" that accompanied
tho 10 hnp hostnt-
his pilgrimage to Mundelein to
watch the cardinals go thru with
their mumery. Here are some Of
them:
James A. Farrell, president of the
bitterly anti-labor United States
Steel Corporation.
John D. Rayon, president Of the
Anaconda Copper Mining Co., that
Joined in the anti-labor drive that
helped destroy the Western Fedora
ton of Miners.
Edward Francis Carry, president
of the open shop" Pullman Conf
pany, who furnished the million
dollar Special"
E. ]. Doyle, president of the
Commonwealth Edison Co., the light
and power trust that fights the or
ganization of its workers.
Nicholas F. Brady, president of
the New York Edison Co., that &C.
cupies the same position in the
metropolis that the Commonwealth
Co. holds in Chicago.
Edward F. Blair, the Chicago trac-
ton magnate, bitter foe of the
streetcar mems union.
Alexander French Banaks, presi-
dent of the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern
Railroad, affiliated with some of Chi
cago's largest financial institutions
and with banks in the steel centers
of Gary and South Chicago.
These constituted only part of the
list. Betterment of the conditions
of the workers did not come up, in
any way, at the eucharistic congress.
1t did not enter into any of the
speeches made. There was a rea-
son. The catholic church is respon-
sive only to the interest of its multi
millionaire laymen. 1t is defender
of property interests. To state this
is not to insult workers who are
catholics. 1t is rather a statement
of fact that they should carefully
study. Only by so doing will they
reach proper conclusion beneficial
to the interests of the whole work
ing class, catholics, protestant, Jew
and unbeliever.

1t Is Not An Insult to
Labor to Reveal the
Truth About its Enemies
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

OUT in the Calumet carshops of
~ the Pullman Company, workers
are dismantling the million-dollar
Cardinal Special" trains that
brought the papal legate, Bonzano,
and his Catholic colleagues to the
2Sth international Eucharistic Con-
gress, recently held in Chicago. To
fit out these two trains for their one
day of service, carrying their cath
Ollie prelates on the 20-hour run from
New York to Chicago, and later to
Mundelein called for the greatest
expense of the kind in all American
history.
The idea of furnishing the luxu-
rious Cardinal Special" trains orig
mated in the brain of Edward
Francis Carry, the Roman Catholic
president of the Pullman Company,
who makes war on trade unions and
blacklists all workers who show the
least desire for organization as a
means toward improving their own
conditions.
This was the manner in which the
much Wanted pilgrims" to the
Eucharist Congress travelled, caus-
ing an outlay which no American
Croesus, not even oil Rockefeller,
steel Schwab, or dollar Morgan, has
yet attempted. 1t was with such a
background that an attempt was
made to whip the catholics attend
ing the congress into a religious
frenzy. But with the event passed,
it is very evident that the hundreds
of thousands who haunted the gold
leafed shrine in Grant Park on the
lake front did so more out of Gu
riosity inspired by publicity than any
veneration for the richly-robed and
jeweled dignitaries who paraded be-
fore them.
Only one letter has been received
by The DAILY WORKER protesting
against its attitude toward the con-
gress. 1t is signed by member of
Local No. 144, of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America. 1t is
the viewpoint of a worker and is
therefore important. 1t declares in
part:

tacks on the catholics. think it is
a shame that paper like yours, that
is supposed to be left wing paper

longs. Catholics are just as good
as protestants, or Jews or any other
religion, and it is none of your bust
ness to mix in and try to make a

The DAILY WORKER did not at
tack the workers. 1t merely point
ed out the nature of the catholic
church, its influence as a reaction
airy power in politics, and its al
lance with great capitalist interests
which makes its fundamentally anti
labor. The convincing example was
