BARBUSSE TELLS
vienna WORKERS
OF WHITE TERROR
Describes Military Rule
in Bulgaria
Especial to The Daily Worker

VIENNA, Jan. 24.-Q r. A.)-After
returning from his journey thru Rou-
mania, Bulgaria and Hungary, Henri
Barbusse accepted an invitation Of the
Viennese relief committee for Bulgaria
to hold lecture on his experiences
and the results of his Investigations
in the Balkans. Barbusse had made
it his aim to study the rule Of the
military power and the effects of
white terror.
1t was, Barbusse said, very diff
cult task because he met with many
difficulties. The white terror in the
Balkans is more horrible than one
can imagine, declared Barbusse among
other things and spent most of his
time describing conditions in Bull
garia.
The fate of the arbitrarily arrested
and imprisoned workers are tragic.
Police and military power rule with
out restriction. Every person, who
speaks a word against the ruling
personalities or the government, is
them ever leave prison. When during
the sessions Of the parliament on Sept.
Of last year, the opposition present
ed an Interpolation, Zankov declared: :
More murders will take place if
the government will be attacked. I
say this in order to warn you because
terror and death are spreading their
wings over the whole of Bulgaria"
Nobody dares to speak a word about
political affairs in Bulgaria, for every
where the spies are listening and woe
to him who gets into the claws Of the
Bulgarian hangmen! According to his
experiences in Bulgaria, Barbusse
said, that every Bulgarian, who would
have dared to tell him the truth would
have been lost" Barbusse asked the
minister how many people have al
ready disappeared in Bulgaria. The
minister replied: $1,000" But this
number must be multiplied by six or
seven in order TO get approximately
the correct number of murdered vic
Tins.
The unfortunate ones were burnt,
tortured and bestially murdered.
Murder and manslaughter are the
means of the military dictatorship in
Bulgaria with the tortures of the
middle ages revived.
One day several hundred arrested
workers and peasants were led from
one prison to another. The escorting
soldiers went thru a wood with the
prisoners. Not one of the victims ever
came out of the wood again. This
brutally of Zankov was unearthed
by Barbusse on his journey. 10000
human beings have disappeared,
without trial, and without any charges
against them.

Rubber Interests In
Plan to Retain Rule
Over the Filipinos

Rubber and other American com.
mercial interests are behind the in
creasing propaganda to permanently
postpone the promised Philippine in
dependence, declares the emergency
foreign policy conference, a national
organization Of progressive law-mak-
ers, trade unionists and others.
The conference lays down as its
Philippine policy: 1.-THE United States
shall at once grant to the Philippine
islands complete independence, guar
anteed by treaty between the powers
bordering on the Pacific"
The United States, the conference
explains, Originally secured control
of the Philippines. following the war
with Spain, by crushing the newly
established Philippine republic with
military force and the loss of several
hundred thousand lives. From that
time until the present the United
States has repeatedly given assur-
ances that American domination was
but temporary and would only be con.
tinued until such time as the Filipinos
had established a stable government"

Protest Appointment
of Colonel Haskell

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. "a. - Super
patriots of the American Defense So

Smiths proposed appointment of Col.
William N. Haskell as head Of the
New York national guard. Haskell
has expressed himself in favor of re-
cognition of the present government

REACTI0NARIES
To MILITARIzE
Ohio SCHOOLS
Campaign for Enforced
Military Training

CLEVELAND, Jan. "a - The reac-
tionaries-the ku klux khan, American
legion and real estate" interests
are conducting a fight for enforced
military training in the high schools
of this city.
The board of education recently had
before it the proposal to abolish mill
tary training in the high schools. A
public hearing was held, at which
military training was unanimously
abolished. Officers representatives of
the American legion and their like
had spoken of the wonderful advant-
ages accruing to the students from
military training. 1T makes better
citizens of them" ran the refrain Of
their arguments. Despite these ef-
forts military training received no
support from the listeners.
Mr.. Benesh, member of the board,
who proposed the abolition of military
training, voted for reconsideration at
a meeting held here later. His mo-
ton was voted down.

tend to let the matter rest as It is.
They are calling conference to take
steps against the board of education.
The American legion, Spanish War
veterans, and the interests of the city,
are determined to put the students
of this city in a military straight jack
ct. Outside the board of education
chamber, afterthe meeting, they gath
cred in small groups, and cursed and
damned tho board of education. The
Workers (Communist) Party sent a
group Of comrades to speak at the
meeting and TO expose both the paci-
fists and the militarists. Not one was
given the opportunity to express him
self. ID
At the Ohio State University the
question of military training is up for
decision. The students are against It.
while the trustees of the university
are in favor Of it. and they say they
will ignore the demands of the stu
dents.

Blanton Bill Denies
Right of Strikers in
Washington to Picket

WASHINGTON, Jan. pa bill has
been introduced in the house Of rep
resentatives at Washington by Repre-
sentative Blanton designed ito pre-
vent breaches Of the public peace in
the District of Columbia caused by
picketing." But the district commits
sioners are not quite satisfied with it..
They have suggested an extension OF
the bill to cover and prevent picket
ing at the White House, foreign en-
bassies, public schools, offices or re-
sidences of foreign officials, and Off
GERS Of the U. S. government"
The Blanton bill would make IL un-
lawful for any person ito make any
loud or unusual noise, or to speak in
loud or unusual tone, or to cry out
or proclaim, on any street, sidewalk.
alley or public place" in the district
for the purpose of inducing or influ-
encing any person to refrain from
purchasing goods or TO refrain from
doing any service or labor in any
works, factory, place OF business, or
employment. 1t would also forbid
the display of banners. transparencies,
badges, or signs in any Industrial dis.
pute.
The bill, which is known as II. r..
1902, was introduced on December Z,
but so quietly that little has been
heard of it. The judiciary sub-com-
mittee will probably take nm the mas.
ton shortly.

RED-BAITERS IN
Ohio PROSECUTE
RED PROFESSOR
Khan and Legion on New
Rampage
tspeoiaI to The paIIy WORKED

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 22-The
authorities are red-baiting once more.
The Reds are capturing the state, and
the government is endangered.
At the Ohio State University, Pro-
lessor Horton was arrested some time
ago and as a consequence was inn
mediately dismissed from the univer-
sity The charge against him was an
infringement of the eighteenth
amendment-bu the real reason was
his association with radical circles
and radical ideas. "Mr. Hoton is
Communist" the papers reported, and
the Ohio State University dare not
harbor person of such tendencies.
Confuse Liberals and Reds.
Governor Donahey appointed COM
mission to investigate the situation
in the State University. The COM
mittee has reported and its report is
gruesome. Thee are some professors
who dare to think for themselves.
There are some professors who sup
ported the "Forty-eighters," and they
are Reds" we are informed. 1t is
not to the credit of the commission
that it does not know the difference
between liberal and Red-but
what should one expect of a COVER
nor's commission? The report further
contains the sage remark that there
is mo difference between socialism
and Communism" If there is no diff
ference, why do they prosecute the
Communists the world over, while
the socialists and social-democrats are
in the highest councils of state? The
reason is Obvious: The Communists
advocate that the workers conduct a
continual fight till they establish their
own power, while the socialists pre-
fer to lobby for few shabby reforms.
To Extermlnate Liberalism.
Witch-hunters are abroad in Ohio.
Behind the investigation stand the
ku kluxers and the American Legion.
Therefore everything that even
smacks or sounds liberal must be
exterminated-e especially in the collie
ges and high schools. "Goose-steping"
is the order Of the day: military
Harvesting of the minds of the stu
dents-that is what these reaction
aries want.

Call on Other Unions to
Aid Politicals
Especial to The Daily WOrker)

NEW YORK, Jan. 24-In the fol
lowing letter the workers of the
zweier &c Grossman shop at SAT Lex
ington avenue, Brooklyn, tell of the
donation of a crew of 80 workers, all
members Of the Shoe Workers Pro-
tective Union, of ten pairs of shoes
to the International Labor Defense
bazaar to be held from Feb. 10 to 10,
inclusive, and calls upon all other
workers to follow the example of their
shop in donating articles for the ba-
zaar to aid the class war prisoners.
Dear Comrades and Fellow Workers:
"a crew of 35 workers at the
Zweier & Grossman shop, SAT Lexing-
ton avenue, Brooklyn, New York,
members of the Shoe Workers Pro.
tective Union, realizing the condition
of the political prisoners turnout the
world have offered to help the com
rades who were fighting for our bene-
fit and imprisoned by the capitalist
protectors and while they have very
little to give at this time because of
heir slack season, they have assem-
oled and voluntarily contributed ten
pairs OF the highest grade ladies'
shoes for the International Labor De-
tense bazaar, which will be held on
Feb. 10, IL, 12, and IS, at the Central
Opera House, 67th street and Third
avenue, New York.
"They wish to inform all the com
rades and sympathizers that attend
the bazaar, that they have given their
best efforts in the production Of these
shoes in order that the ones who buy
them will enjoy wearing them, and
remember that is was for the cause
that this shop crew has worked, there
by benefting the ones who buy.
Follow Shoe Workers ExampIeI
This crew of 35 workers are all
members of the Shoe Workers Pro-
tective Union, and would urge the en-
tire shoe industry and others to real
ize that the political prisoners need
as much help as they can possibly
get from the working class.
Let US set an example to all the
workers in their shops, in whose pow
er it is to make a donation towards
the International Labor Defense,
either of the products of the shops in
which they are working, or if impos-
sible to produce these articles in their
shops, to collect from other sources
as many articles as they can get and
bring them to the bazaar committee.
Help Political PrIsonersl
Help the political prisoners obtain
their freedom, in order that they may
lead us and show us the way towards
new period of civilization, one in
which we will have no political pris-
ons for people who wish to express
their opinions but whom we will lis
ten to and benefit by; one in which
we need not have a picket line in
front Of a striking shop in order to
prevent our fellow workers from scab-
bling and be the tools of their bosses.

workers.

as follows:
"One value of the pact must be en-

labor troubles. II the German potash
workers go on strike, there will al
ways be the French supply to fall
back on and thus there cannot be a
