American Minister In
Middle of Balcan Row
with a War In Ohine

BELGRADE, Jugo-Slavia, Aug. S.
The American minister is staying at
Bled, Jugo-Slavia, the summer palace
of King Alexander, along with M.
Ninehitch, the Jugo-Slav foreign min
lister, as the crisis between this coun-
try and Bulgaria grows. The Jugo-
Slav minister to Bulgaria, M. Rakitch,
also is called to Bled for consultation.
The note to Bulgaria, not yet sent,
is probably to be carried to Sofie by
Rakitch on his return. The govern
ment is waiting, it is supposed, for
agreement on identical notes to be
sent Bulgaria by Jugo-Slavia and
Roumania. Greece also is expected to
join in action closing Bulgarian from
tiers north, west and south.
Jugo-Slav diplomats declare that
they do not intend war, but only wish
to stop the raids across the border by
the comtadji, the Bulgarian irregular
troops, who act unofficially, but with
Bulgarian government unofficial COM
sent.

Shameless Fakes Spread
About Soviet Rule Will
Cause Workers to Think
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

shameless fakes The same denial
is made of reports that Trotsky has
fed from Moscow and that there is
an uprising in the Ukraine"
Second, is the report coming from
London, RELAXING a declaration Of
the Soviet ambassador in Warsaw
as follows: Newspapers in War
saw, according to dispatch tonight,
are publishing a statement from the
Russian ambassador there protest
ing against publication Of false
reports regarding military uproar
In Russia The ambassador fatty
denied reports emanating from a
number Of European capitals to the
effect that revolutionary and coun-
ter-revolutionary activity had broken
out in various sections of Russia"
Third, is the statement issued by
the Soviet embassy in London. It
is declared that the embassy met all
Inquiries regarding reports of revo-
luton in Russia with: 1--WE have
received no news of revolt. We
cannot think reports are true"
Thus even the capitalist news
agencies convict themselves Of false
hood. Their fairy tales evaporate in
the glare of the truth.
1t may be taken for granted that
this new food of vicious propaganda
has its basis in the unsettled condi-
lions existing all over capitalist
Europe. The reports originally
emanated from the trouble zones in
the Balkans where Roumania, Jugo-
Slavia and Greece are serving new
ultimatums on the Bulgarian govern
ment, attended by a beating of war
drums paralelled only by events pre-
ceding the outbreak of the world
war in 1914.
This week the Anglo Russian Com
mittee for World Trade Union Unity
is due to meet in Paris. 1t will not
only consider aid to the striking
British coal miners, which involves
greater aid from the trade union
movement over the continent, but
also consider the question generally
of the solidarity of the worlds work
ers. The makeup of the committee,
however, is such that its members
will not be confused in their actions,
no matted how hysterical the propa-
ganda of the enemy press.
These are only two developments
that would rouse hopes in capitalist
breasts that something might 20
wrong in the Soviet Union. There
are plenty of others. But all of these
hopes will meet with cruel disap-
pointment. The Soviet Union is
stronger today than at any time dur
ing the nearly nine years of it's
existence. Capitalist hopes dash as
harmless spray against it's granite
structure. New masses of workers
in all capitalist countries are real
izing that fact and understanding
its significance better than ever.

$4,000 STEEL
WORKERS WANT
UNIONIZATION
Cleveland Ready, But
Tighe Sits on Lid
Especial to The Daily worker)

CLEVELAND, Aug. s. - Opp -
Twenty-Five thousand steel workers in
Cleveland are ready for unionization
Exploited by low wages and the
speed up system they are awaiting the
leadership which will result in the
formation of strong and militant
union. This is the view of L. Pilawski,
leading Cleveland organizer in the
great 1919 steel strike.
Garys Conditions.
Gary's loudly proclaimed S-hour day
is a fraud in this city, where 10-hours
constitutes a days work in the dozen
big mills, both trust and independent
With 80 cents an hour the going wage,
and three days work week the aver
age, the unskilled worker knocks out
ten to fifteen dollars a week. And
with Wife and grown daughters in gar
ment factories the total family income
brings a slum existence.
Semiskilled men are placed on
piece work and barely make S95 a
week by unrelenting effort. The speed
up system in the big mills and the
minute specialization of tasks bring
exhausting monotony and throws the
worker premaurely on the industrial
junk heap.
Amaloamated Asleep.
The Amalgamated Association Of
steel workers controls the highly
skilled men in the plants but they are
only a small fraction of the total
working force. Averaging ten dollars
day, with fifteen to twenty in the
busy seasons, the rollers constitute
the bulk of the Amalgamated men,
bership. The unorganized and unskill-
ed steel workers, according to Pilaw-
ski, feel that union appeal on an
industrial basis, with no favoritism
against workers for lack of skill or
foreign birth, is needed to overcome
distrust of existing organizations.
Appeal to Labor Movement.
mo love is lost between my fellow
workers and the BOSSES" asserts Pill
lawski. "They feel bitterly resentful
and helpless. Disillusioned by their
experiences in the steel strike of 1919
they demand assurances that union or
ganizers place at their disposal an or
ganization designed to develop max
imum strength despite craft or ma
tional lines. We want a union, we
need help in creating one. When will
the labor movement respond by study
ing the steel workers needs and assist
ing us in a great organization pro-

NEW YORK CITY, Aug. S.-Fifty

of the New Brightin Cloak company,
the ]. & S. Cloak company and the
Reliable Cloak company, Union Off
Gals were unable to explain the cause
of the wholesale arrests, declaring
them to be absolutely unwarranted
Louis Hyman, chairman of the Cen
eral Strike Committee, received a
heartening vote of confidence yester-
day afternoon from 1900 shop chair
men assembled at Webster Hall, East
18th street. He had reported on the
conduct Of the strike and, in a NOV
ing address urged the chairman to up
hold the work of the General Strike
Committee. While complimenting
them upon their solidarity, he caution
ed them to renew picketing efforts, be-
cause even a little of non-union pro-
duction, while unable to break the
strike, would likely prolong it.
Night Mass Picketlnu.
Beginning Monday night picketing
on as huge a scale as day picketing
will go into effect. 1t is expected that
this move will put an end to the scat
tered non"union activity.
The out-of-town committee of the
union reported yesterday that the shop
of Fishman and Kropkoff, originally
operating in New Rochelle and moved
to South Amboy, had been closed
down. A shop which the firm of Bonico
and Janelli attempted to operate in
Newark was also closed down yester.
day. Two strikers were arrested in
West Hoboken, as well as two in
Union City for picketing activity.
Seven more settlements have been
concluded by the strike settlement
committee, bringing the total to sc

Boston Police Act as

BOSTON, Aug. Striking Boston
milk wagon drivers complain that
policemen are delivering milk for the
Alden Bros. Co. against which the
union fight is directed. Striking mem
bers of Local $50, milk wagon drivers,
assert that police in uniform do the
milk delivering in the dark, discard

them at their scabbing.
Business Agent Matthew A. Dunn is

Superintendent Michael H. Crawley
who, says he, instructed the police t.
guard the dairy company's property
but not to act as strikebreakers in
delivering milk and driving company
wagons.

OPEAKING at an open air meeting,
~ Saturday night, found that the
audience was most intensely in
terested about what was going on in
the Union of Soviet Republics.
All day the Hearst press had been
flooding the city with it's frequent
editions telling of New Revolts in
Russia" While the meeting was
going on the Sunday editions were
already on the streets with the glar-
ing headline, Russian Revolt Re-
ported Growing"
1t is difficult to explain why this
hot weather hysteria should have hit
the Hearst press exactly at this mo-
ment. The Associated Press papers
managed to stop up this hemorrhage
of lies a week or ten days ago.
They published the fakes, to be
sure, in the eager hope that they
might come true. But their hopes
went the way of all capitalist
prophecies regarding disintegration
within the workers and peasants
republic. Yet the Hearst press keeps
it up.
The occasion, however, offers
splendid opportunities for explaining
the actual developments in the So
Wet Union. 1t creates real interest
in the work Of Felix Dzerzhinsky,
who died recently at his post as
head Of the supreme council of ma
tional economy, but who became
best known to the capitalist world,
during the trying days of the Boil
sheYik Revolution, as the directing
genius of the "cheka," feared and
hated by all bourgeois and counter
revolutionists. 1t rouses interest,
and therefore gives basis for bet
ter understanding of the role that
I. A. Stain, Leon Trotsky, Gregory
Zinoviev and other leading figures in
the All-Union Communist Party and
the Soviet government are taking in
the development of the world revolu-
ton. In other words, the capitalist
press stirs up the desire of the
American masses to understand
changing events in the Soviet Union,
and at the same time to discover
why the capitalist press is so eager
to misrepresent and lie about them.
Regarding this most recent broad
side Of villiflcation, it is only neces-
sary to publish what the bought
press hides. There are three re-
ports, especially, that give the lie
to all the misleading headlines. 1t
is we'll to repeat them here:
First is an Associated Press re-
port from Moscow that the Hearst
Press could have used as we'll as its
frantically concoted fiction. 1t states
that: Reports emmnating from
Bucharest, Roumania, that there is
serious widespread instruction in
Russia, were denied here tonight as
