May Day and Passaic
Strike Relief Meeting

KENOSHA, wis, May IL. - The
Kenosha Workers (Communist) Party
held a joint May Day celebration and

Engdahl, editor of The DAILY WORK
Err, spoke on the significance of May
Day.
Dora Lohse, assistant nationl secre-
tary of the international Workers

OF the strike and the support which
workers all over the country had
given the strikers.

ers, including the donation OF the
Croatian Workmen's Sick and Death
Benefit Society, amounted to 500.

MOSLEM MEET
WILL DISCUSS
CALIPH STATUS
Egyptian King Seeks the
Caliphate

CAIRO, Egypt, May IL. Moslen
delegation from a number Of countries
are gathering in Cairo at the call of
the FL Azhar university to determine
the status of the present caliph and
whether to elect a new caliph.
The congress was engineered and
called thru dignitaries of the Ell Azhar
university appointed by King Fuad
Of Egypt. Fuad seeks to become the
new caliph.
The response to the conference call
has been such that Fuad is already
making preparations to disclaim all
connection with the meet. The chief
Islamic powers of Turkey, Persia, Irak
and Nejd refuse to send delegates.
Another difficulty in the path of Fuad' S
ambition to become caliph of the
Moslem world is the opposition of the
orthodox Moslems to electing another
caliph as theoretically the old caliph
Abdul Mejid, who was deposed by
Mustapha Renal Pasha, is still the
ruler of the Moslem world.

Jurist Withdraws Ban
on Picketing in the
Passaic Textile Strike

PASSAIC, N. J.,-(FP)-May H.
The Forstmann and Fuffmann Wooden
company suffered another defeat when
Vice Chancellor Bentley withdrew the
ban on picketing that he had issued
in temporary injunction against the
strikers some time ago. He said the
facts brot out at the hearing proved
that "many employees of the Forst-
mann and Huffman mill were on
strike and that no acts Of violence or
intimidation on the part Of the defend
ants had been proved
Bentley was peeved at the company
for the misrepresentation in its appeal
for the original Temporary injunction.
The company had claimed that there
was no strike at all, that it's employees
wanted to work but were intimidated."
The injunction continues, but modified.
A limited number of pickets will be
tolerated, he said.
Bentley is the vice chancellor who
told Sheriff Nimmo to stop interfering
with strikers meetings.
Police endeavored to halt picketing
the morning after the judges decision.
Organizer Weisbord declared that if
the police interfered again he would
bring several thousand strikers to the
scene to see that their rights were not
checked.

WASHINGTON, May IL. - Julius
Barnes, former president Of the Unit
ed States chamber of commerce In
fourteenth annual session here, made
the opening speech In which he drew
an optimistic picture of American
prosperity and congratulated the pres
ent labor leadership in this country.
A rosy portrayal of world leader
ship in trade and commerce, labor con-
tented and prosperous, living stand
ards, high and stable government
marked the speeches Of the first ses-
sion of the convention of American
big business.
Sir Josiah Stamp, British member
of the Dawes commission, declared
that the general strike was due to
the fact that England had never
learned the Gospel of output" AL
most every speaker alluded to the
strike in England, characterizing it as
a disaster and contrasting the condi-
tion in England with American tran
guilty"
perennial Prosperity"
Barnes said there was no reason
why prosperity should not increase
instead of diminish-higher wages for
labor, greater profits for capital and
lowered living costs to the consumer
all these were possible because Of
Americas vast natural resources, its
habitually Industrious people and a
stable system Of government"

that have been presented to congress
by labor-hating solons was forcibly
brought out by Bishop William Mont.
gomery Brown, B. Borisoff, Gertrude
Brown, secretary of the Pullman and
South Chicago Council for the Poretc-
ton of the Foreign-Born, and other
speakers at a meeting arranged by the
Pullman and Chicago Council for the
Protection of the Foreign-Born at
Strummil's Hall.
The enthusiasm of the workers at
this protest meeting made 1t clear
that they would not stand for the en-
slavement that the bill provided for.
The Passaic strike was brought to
the attention of the Pullman and
South Chicago workers by Nancy
Sandowski, youthful Passaic strike
leader. Two collections were taken at
this meeting. The first collection for
the Council for the Protection of For
eign-Born amounted to $35. The sec
ond collection which was taken for the
International Workers Aid, which is
