Razor-Wielding Boss
Goes Into Bankruptcy

Razor-wielding openshop employers
seeking to conduct department store
have been forced by persistent union
picketing to sublet their premises to
other firms. The employers are the
Ossey Brothers who not only fought
the Retail Clerks Union with injunc-
lions that led to Jail sentences for the
strikers but sent union business agent
Harry Winnick to the hospital with
razor slashes on his face and neck.
Judge Denis Sullivan took advan-
tage OF the Ossey strike to declare the
1925 Illinois injunction limitation act
unconstitutional. Organized labor of
the state will push the appeal from
his decision regardless of the with.
drawal Of the employers from bust
ness. They testified in court that
their business had suffered so per
cent when their actions put them on
labor's unfair list.

VOTE CLOTURE
ON court TALK
IN The Senate
DGwes Puts Gag Rule
Over BY Five Votes
Especial to The Daily wOrker)


WASHINGTON, o. c., Jan. 25.-For
the second time in all its history, the
United States senate Monday voted
cloture upon itself, restricting debate
on the issue of the U. S. Joining the
world court of the league of nations.
This almost unprecedented action
was taken at the behest of the pow
erful interests, including the Coolidge
administration, favoring adherence to
the court. The opposition to the court
is not, of course, radical, but springs
from a different group within the
American bourgeoisie which feels
that its interests are best served by
staying out of the court.
Have Amended It.
These leaders of the "irreconeil-
ables" as they are called, found So
lace in the fact that they forced the
adoption of many amendments which
they think will make the senate it.
self, and not the president, the judge
of what matters shall be submitted by
the United States to the court for
judgment.
A monster crowd packed the gal
leries when it was known that the
Coolidge gang was going to thrust
cloture down the throat of the oppo-
sition. Dawes, whose dreams of be-
ing Mussolini and closing the mouth
of all who disagree had been drama
tiled by his advocacy of cloture as a
principle, saw the awaited hour of his
triumph in this respect.
At 1 o'clock he raped for order
and silence reigned. Then he asked:
Dawes Gains His End.
as it the sense of the senate that
the debate shall be brot to a closer"
Cries Of question" and vote" came
from the floor. Then the roll call
began.
The vote was IS to 26, giving the
Mussolini in the chair, and the world
court advocates, who had spent a long
time in using pressure on various OBJ
stinates, five votes more than neces-
sary to invoke cloture. Only two SEN
ators were absent, something I'M
usual.
Disorder After Vote.
Great disorder reigned after the
vote was announced, both in the gal
leries and on the floor Walsh, an OPP
ponent, at once began to take his
limited hour allowed under cloture.
Reed, of Missouri, moved to adjourn,
apparently in pique at the outcome
seeing that some of those depended
on to hold out, had given in to Coo

the nation Of workers and peasants
will permit them to apply the same
injustice to our workmen as Chang is
accustomed to apply to the Chinese
proletariat.
I'VE will not endure such injuries
and violence. The arrest of our COM
rades violates our treaties. Russian
workmen and peasants did not shed
their blood in the supreme revolution
FOR the purpose OF having the revolu-
ton crushed by Chinese and Russian

when we concluded a treaty with
the Picking government we obtained
its consent to conclude special con-
tract with Chang Tso-lin. Suisse

SOFT COAL PRODUCTION
GROWS WITH SCABBlNG
ON ANTHRACITE STRIKE
Especial to The Daily wOrksr)

Especial to The Daily Worker)
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 25.-
Production of bituminous coal at
high levels only occasionally reach
ed in the industry was reported to-
day by the bureau of mines, which
placed the total at 100000 tons
during the seven days ending Jan.
16.
This again illustrates how the BIZ
luminous miners, in the same union
as the anthracite miners now on
strike, are being used as scabs on
their brothers because John L.
Lewis, head of the miners union,
refuses to order a national general
strike. This prosperity" of the
btuminous miners, however, will be
short lived if, when the anthracite
miners 60 back to work, the btu
minous miners strike and find
their strike likewise scabbed upon
by their brothers in the anthracite
because Lewis will refuse to call
them out on a general strike.

STRIKING Shoe
WORKERS FIGHT
The INJUNCTION
Protective Union Rifles
Boss and His Judge
Especial to The Daily worker)

BROOKLYN, N. Y. Jan. 25.-The
Shoe Workers Protective Union had
its day in court before Judge Selah
Strong in Borough Han to answer why
Strongs injunction against the union,
forbidding it to conduct a strike in the
Caesar Weissman shoe factory at 81
Orange St., should not be affirmed.
The two issues that seemed to
crowd to the front were, first: Is there
"a strike at the Weissman shop?
Second: Is the Weissman shop the
dirtiest and meanest shop in town?
Boss Lawyer Lies Chilly.
The judge listened with open mouth
to the picture of the shop painted by
Weissman's attorney, who told of the
heavenly beauty and the restful COM
fort that is characteristic of the fac
tory now struck. Their story was
eagerly swallowed by 'hizzoner" as a
frog swallows water.
But Attorney Brodsky for the union
promptly. began to puncture the bub-
BILE blown by Weissman's hireling with
facts that showed how the shop was
crowded and dirty and unsanitary and
without half decent ventilation. What
he said brot out that Weissman was
so stingy he even refused to supply
the full number of chairs needed and
workers in the morning scuffle for the
few chairs in the shop while the
Others use old boxes or anything they
find to sit down to their machines.
That so riied the judge. that he
promptly shut off further description
of that slave hole that had been so
falsely painted in fine colors a few
moments before.
Judge Sides With Boss.
The Weissman attorney had made
the strange assertion that there was
no strike at the shop in question, and
Brodsky also snapped at that air bag.
The judge sided with the opinion of
the boss and decided that there is no
strike in the Weissman shop, and
denied Brodsky the right to describe
the situation.
The right to strike could not be en-
tirely ignored by the judge, so he
said the union might strike and also
picket, but it could not mention the
name Of Weissman nor could the
pickets say anything about the rotten
conditions in the shop.
The affidavit of P. p. Cosgrove, or
ganizer of the Shoe Workers Pro.
tective Union, branded the affidavit
of Weissman as a tissue Of malicious
falsehoods, untruths. insinuations and
inuendoes."
Another proof that Weissman's shop
is on strike is found in the arrest
of two pickets three hours after the
Judge had decided that there was no
strike. AS soon as the pickets got on
the job they were bounced on by
the police and dragged to the city jail.

CAHAN WASTED AT

Forward Editor Weeps
in Wrong Country
BY JOSEPH r. BOOTH.
Especial to The Daily Worker)

The visit in Chicago by Gompers'
successor, William Green, was follow
ed by his friend, yellow" Abraham
Cahan, editor of the New York Jewish
Socialist" Daily Forward, last Satur-
day. He was welcomed here by his
followers who made him feel quite at
home at the Morrison Hotel where he
was honored with rich banquet.
On Sunday he was present at
Woods Theater, not of course to help
better working conditions in the
Yards" neither to greet our DAILY
WORKER on it's anniversary; it was
for quite a different purpose entirely,
telling Chicago mixed public
secrets of Palestine" not secrets" to
alarm imperialist England but only
those specific to Jewish life.
Indeed 1t was the biggest spectacle
ever staged. B. Schlezinger acted as
chairman. His comrades and pen
slaves from the city Forward worked
overtime to find big attractions to
draw crowd for their oriental show.

Cahan Weeps over Rachael
Abraham Cahan, after his travel
thru Palestine at the workers ex-
pense, had a thrilling story to tell, not
about the workers exploitation there
and terror against radicals from their
Oppressors, but of how he was touch
ed about all the sacred spots and holy
places he saw; his big Jewish warm
heart nearly melted. He broke down,
sad to relate, when he beheld the holy
grave of Mother Rachael; this heroic
atheist fell, weepingI The Zionist

Isn't it shocking that the success
full socialist Forward editor should be
compelled to hustle for Palestine to
advertise his paper in order to fill in
the large hole in its circulation pune
tured by the Communist press with it's
militant fight for the workers!
So This Is Socialism?
The number of workers is largely
increasing who are learning the truth
of the shameless role being played by
the prostituted Forward with it's cater

radicals, supporting union bureau
Gratis and slandering Soviet Russia;

tional news, stories and articles; dis

and beauty" girls-the identical ma
terial of the capitalist press fills the
Forward, the so-called mouthpiece of
the socialist party.
What a striking and tragic contra
diction to Debs' fighting past is this
wasting of energy in trying to revive
the party by editing a Socialist

1t is the Communists who prove by
their actions that they are in a dead
earnest struggle with capitalism on
all fronts. The Cahans and their likes.
even with the aid of Debs, will fail
miserably in their futile efforts to stop
