which American sugar kings and the
corrupt Machado government of Cuba

Especial to The Daily worker)

PARIS, Jan. 20.-Finance Minister
Doumer may go the way Of his several
predecessors-out of the cabinet.
The possibility doomed today when
it appeared that there is little likeli-
hood of the finance minister and the
finance commission of the chamber Of
deputies reaching any compromise
agreement on a financial program.
BRAND Will Accept Anything.
Premier BRAND has now reached a
state of mind, where, it is said, he
is willing to accept almost any fnan-
cial program which can be assured of
passage by the chamber Of deputies.
M. Doumer has given the members
of the finance copmission warning
that they must face the wrath of the
French people if they force measures
which bring about new imitation, but
this warning does not appear to have
brought the prospects of COM
promise any nearer.

FLORIDA MOB
STAGES RADIO
LYNCHING Bee
Victims Screams Sent
Over the Air

OCALA, Fla, Jan. 20.-No tales Of
wars atrocities nor of the fortunes Of
wild Indians can eclipse the barbarity
exhibited here in "ciViIized America"
when the wanton lynching of Nick
Williams, Negro, was made the oc-
casion Of what was termed unique
and entertaining" plan.
Spoke lmpoIitely to White.
Williams was seized while on his
way to work, on the suspicion that he
had spoken impolitely to a white
grocery clerk" The clerk, who had
never seen him before this occasion,
Identified Williams as the impolite
person.
Thereupon began the unspeakable
reversion to veneered savagery.
Northern guests were summoned from
their hotels and real estate specula-
tors were brot from their beds to "en-
joy" the spectacle of butchery.
Broadcast Victims Screams.
Suggestion was made, as there was
radio station near, that the pro
ceedings" be broadcasted. And so it
was. The victim was brot up to the
station, line connection made and
the shouts of the mob and the pierre
ing screams of Williams as the mob
tortured and shot him to death.
Meanwhile, before the entertain
ment" began, an announcer called
over the radio summoning all Florida
to stand by for to hear the mob at its
CHASTITY work, announcing that the
particular broadcasting station had
scored quite hit over its competitors
in furnishing radio fans this feat
ure."
There has been no one arrested for
this amazing murder and no one ex-
poets that anyone of the mob or the
participants will be arrested. That is
not the custom in the southern sec
ton of the United States-and in the
northern section, tho arrests some
times are made, no one is punished.
One marvels at the nerve of the
United States government which re-
fuses to recognize Soviet Russia on
the excuse that the Bolsheviks do not
conform to the pleasantries of Ameri-
can civilization.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2o-Four big halls
have been secured by the New York
Local Of the Workers (communistl
Party to take care of the thousands
of workers who will come together on
Sunday, Jan. "a, to celebrate the Vic
tories of the workers in different parts
of the world and to pay their respects
to the leader of the revolutionary
anguard-vlsdimir IIyitch UIianov
Lenin.
To Take Care of Overflow.
The Central Opera House, Millers' As

and Manhattan Lyceum Will be open
at o'clock in the afternoon. Prep
arations are also being made to take
care of the overflow crowds at these
meetings.

Olgin, William w. Weinstone. and
Charles Krumbein will speak as each
of these halls on what Lenin means
to the American workers and TO the
workers of other lands.
Along with the speakers there will
be appropriate revolutionary music
to make this occasion one Of the big
gest celebrations that the workers of
New York have ever arranged.
Victories in Past Year.
The victories of the workers have
been many in the past year. Soviet
Russia today is stronger than ever
and is growing ever stronger. In
Czecho-Sloyakia the Communists were
able to force the yellow social-demo-
Gratis into the background and are the
second party in the Czeeho-Slovakian
parliament. In Germany, the Com
munists have made great gains. In
England. despite the activities of the
fascists and the yellow" socialist lead
ers in the labor party against the
Communists, the influence of the class
conscious workers is growing.
Lenin's Spirit Lives On.
Turnout the colonial and semi-col-
onial world new flames of revolt
against the Imperialism of France,
America, England are breaking forth.
Tho Lenin is dead, his spirit is alive
and is sweeping the masses of discon-
tented workers and peasants onward
to the realization of the workers and
farmers government in every land.
Every worker to the Lenin memorial
meetings should be the slogan Of
the workers in New York for that day.
Let the attendance at these Lenin
memorial meetings in New York be
the answer Of the workers to the chal-
lenge of the labor-hating Coolidge ad-
ministration in Washington and the
plutes who have their offices on Wall
Street. Every worker to the Lenin

THE New York Times is worrying
4 over the new stir in the ranks
Of the American Negro population.
This time it appears they are not
looking for salvation to the fantastic
pipe dreams of Marcus Garvey but
are inclining more and more to the.
idea that the labor movement is their
hope. This does not mean, Of course
that section of the labor movement
that is dominated by William Green
and the reactionaries but to the COM
paratively small section that is under
Communist influence, and specifically
under Communist influence.

"A man porters is a straw which
shows in what direction the wind
blows. Just as soon as the Negro
porters began to join a union, the
tools of the Pullman company among
the Negroes got busy, pointing out
that the employees of the company
would lose their seniority rights and
other alleged advantages if they join
ed a union. Full page advertisements
began to appear in Negro papers,
boosting the Pullman company. Those
advertisements were not paid for, at
least openly, by the corporation.
Ostensibly they were financed by a
fake benevolent organization of the
porters, which is actually a sort of
company union dominated by Pullman
officials.
MANY of the Negro intellectuals
4s4 support the movement to organ
ize the Negro laborers into unions.
Others oppose it. Both fear the Com
munists getting influence over the
Negro masses At bottom the only
issue between them is one of expe-
diency. The movement will go for
ward however no matter who opposes
it. The Negro workers will be driven
by the pressure of exploitation to or
ganize for their own protection. The
American Negro Labor Congress.
which was held in Chicago recently,
was milestone in the history Of the
American Negro worker. 1t is true
that 1t was only miniature Of what
future congresses with a similar pur-
pose will be. But 1t is a long way
from the dumb, slave-driven Negro Of
sixty years ago to the outstanding
Negro of today who is learning to
fight effectively against his real enc
my and who is lining up where he be-
longs, with the workers of all races
and colors.
THE sheriff and county attorney of
Il Sheridan county, Montana, have

expected. AS was told several months
ago in those columns the officials of
Sheridan county, had the complete
confidence of the progressive farmers
and workers. They encountered the
bitter enmity of the bankers, and the
confidence men who had fleeced the
farmers at leisure during the regime
of the old party politicians. The blow
was inevitable. But it appears the
farmers are not taking it lying down.
