'COTzOFA NESTP
EXPOSE TAKES
|. A. BY STORM
Daily Worker Is Sold
Like Hot Cakes"
BY L. p. RINDAL.
(Worker Correspondentl

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 23. - In the
opinion Of Tom Lewis, the Workers
(Communist) Party speaker, and
other orators Of the day, the Interna-
tional open-air Sacco-Vanzetti mass
meeting at the Mexican Plaza last
Sunday, Nov. IA. was a success. I'm
doubtedly, the turnout would have
been greater still If The DAILY
WORKER, in which the meeting was
announced, had arrived one day
earlier.
Army and Navy Boys Read D. W.
Anyhow. the workers Of Los An
geles, even uniformed U. S. sailor
boys got great kick out Of the Nov.
15 issue of The DAILY WORKER
with its "Marie-What of 'Cotzofa-
nesti'2" story. As soon as the writer
reached Main street with his bundle,
a ''youngster in blue" was the first to
buy copy. Copies were sold to other
persons in uniform, To say that this
particular issue of The DAILY
WORKER went like hot cakes" is
mild. A Roumanian, all smiles, also
handed me a nickle for a copy. l
found out that he had some know
ledge of "Cotzofanesti." This subject
of bloody, royal Roumania did not
lose any time in turning his steps to-
ward the headquarters Of the Workers
(Communist) Party.
That Roumanian is interested in
Communism can easily be understood.
But what about U. S. sailors and sol
diers reading the press of the Boil
sheviks? Well-they might have seen
the killings, and other high-handed
acts Of American Imperialism at work
in foreign lands.
Officials Asleep, 5oIshevism Awake.
What about the postmaster general
interested in the purity Of the mail;
and the secretaries of the army and
navy, responsible for the teaching OF
pure" patriotism among soldiers
and sailors?
The railroads of the country have
spent barrels of almighty 'In God We
Trust" dollars on Marie. Why DOM
they protect her from "Cotzofanesti?'
The same question can be asked o.
Henry Ford, reported to have spent
lot of money on the queen of e
bloody country. All these forces, il
seems, have been asleep the last few
days. But The DAILY WORKER II
awake and does the work.

DAWES PLAN is
threatened BY
PROPERTY DEAL
Fraser Has Simpler"
Adjustment

WASHINGTON, Nov 2s-The house
ways and means committee has been
warned that there is danger of serious
international financial complications
arising out of proposed plans for ad-
1usting the alien property and mixed
claims now being considered by the
committee.
Leon Fraser, general counsel to s.
Parker Gilbert, agent general of the
claims board, pointed out that the
wrecking of the Dawes plan may re.
suit If congress is not careful in its
method of adjustment. The alien
property claims of q. S. capitalists,
amounting to 1928, 4e5,0OO, have re-
suited from the seizure Of property
during the war by Germany and by the
United States.
Would overburden Germany.
Fraser declared that the plan OF ad-
iustment advocated by David Hunt
Miller, which is being considered,
would result in the scrapping of the
Dawes plan because Germany would
be forced to raise more money than
Is provided for by the Dawes budget,
hnd other countries would object on
Fhe score that Germany was favoring
The United States.
MlIIer's Plan.
Under Miller's plan, the United
States treasury would pay the claims
Of American citizens against Germany
put Of the German property seized by
ehe Washington government. Fraser
ueclared that uRder this plan, Ger
many would be forced to reimburse
her citizens for the property taken by
the United States with an immediate
bond issue, eventually deducting the
pmount out of annuities Germany
must pay to the U. s.
Other Nations to BaIk.
This would be too much for Ger
many's finances to stand, Fraser said,
and would clearly be preferential to
ehe U. S., something other nations
would not stand for. The other
pations would then demand a substi-
Flte plan for the Dawes program.
Frasers Way.
Fraser said that the proper way to
conduct the adjustment would be for
me United States treasury to pay the
american capitalists their claims out
pf the treasury; return the property to
German citizens. Then the U. S.
treasury would be reimbursed, he said,
by the annuities that Germany pays
10 the United States under the Dawes
plan.
He said this was the simplest"
method of satisfying everyone. He
Did not say that this would mean the
y. s. treasury would told the sack"
IN all probabilities.

Workers Move Into
Cooperative House
in New York Soon
BY M. ROSENBERG,
fWorker Correapondsntl

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Within the
next few weeks, over one-half Of the
$50 tenants of the new Cooperative
house near Bronx Park, will move in
to their own home. The other half
of the building will be ready for oc-
cupancy about January 1.
This huge building, containing
about 10000 rooms, has been con-
structed for the United Workers Co
operative Association, an organization
of 1880 Jewish workers, mostly en-
gagged in the needle industry. The to-
tai cost is about s1,750,000. This
building is one Of a group of six,
which will form the Cooperative
Colony, to be constructed during the
next few years.
The apartments mostly consist OF
two and three rooms, and are large
and airy-many OF them facing Bronx
Park, something quite unusual for
workers dwellings. The rent is very
reasonable between S14 and Is per
ROOM considering the type Of apart
ment, the price for similar rooms in
pitalistically-owned houses being
about $40 per room.

WHAT THE BRITISH MINER is FACING
RyA. q.

BY A. q.
WE should not be surprised when
w we read in the newspapers that
some of the British miners have drift
ed back into the mines already tho
the strike is not settled yet. Hunger
and the most terrible destitution are
forcing them to submit to the will Of
the brutal ruling class of England.
The tears of their hungry women and
children are gradually breaking the
resistance of some Of these fighters
in the gigantic class struggle which IS
today expressed in the coal miners
strike Of Great Britain.
Conditions UnimaginabIe.
1t is hard for the American workers
who are far away from England and
especially for those whose minds are
poisoned by the bourgeois press of
this country to picture the conditions
of our fellow workers of England who
for so many months are heroically
struggling with the whole of the rul-
ing class of England backed by the
bourgeoisie of the entire world. Here
is a letter received by Comrade s.
V. from his bother in England, who Ia
one Of the strikers, which tells the
story about the conditions of the min
ers:
Are Barefooted.
II thank you very much for not for
getting US IN our present restitution.
1t is already rs weeks since we are
striking, and we are left almost en-
tirely barefooted and naked. With the
money which you have sent us we
bought shoes at least for our younger
daughters.
I'VE are still on strike tho very
much exhausted. Here and there scabs
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-11-25

are appearing and digging up some
coal, but the price of coal is still
very high and many factories are be-
ing closed.
Government Fights Union.
'The mine owners and the govern
ment are doing everything to break up
the union. Then we would be forced
to work as long hours and for as little
pay as the owners would be willing to
grant us.
"A martial law has been declared
here: it is prohibited to address or
to- make speeches to the miners, and
we are not allowed to walk along the
streets in groups. If you call a scab
"scab," you are Immediately arrest
ed and thrown into a dungeon for six
months. A few of the policemen are
already wounded and one of them had
been killed. Many workers are behind
prison bars and there is no end in
sight yet Before even the meetings
of the miners were prohibited, but
now they are allowed.
Weather Cold.
The weather is becoming cold. We
have no fuel and we are forbidden to
pick up the refuse by the mines or on
the railroads. Every place is filled by
the police and cossacks. They tell US
that when we get no fuel and will
freeze hard enough we will then go
back to work. AS far as the scarcity
Of food is concerned, l don't have to
talk because you can imagine your
selves. We are fortunate that the po-
tatoe and cabbage crop is good this
year so we go out at night among the
farmers and help ourselves. As far
as the foreign-born workers are con-
cerned, they are still keeping on, but
the Englishmen are actually starving.
Starvation has forced some of them
back to work; they have no food
neither for themselves nor for their
children. II you could see, my dear
brother, what great suffering and des-
titution we have to undergo! 1t is
impossible to describe it here. Many
Of the miners commit suicide.
Such is our life in Great Britainl
Once more I thank you for your sup
port to US. We will never forget you
as long as we live"
Can Understand.
After reading this heartbreaking let
ter one can easily understand why the
British miners are so grateful to the
Russian workers who are so generous
ly helping them In the hour of their
greatest need. One can also be better
able to appreciate the treachery OF
the trade union bureaucracy Of the
United States which did not move a
finger to stop the expectation of the
United States coal to England and
are thus helping the ruling class of
England to prolong the suffering of
striking miners.

Eight Weeks Battle
of Husky Stripping
in Prize-Ring Toys

NEW YORK-The Paper Box Max
ers Union, which was born in June,
1922, was brought up under a bad en-
vironment Those to whose hands the
baby union was entrusted were mostly
concerned in building their own Ca
reers. The members, those who gave
their days and nights, those who sin
cerely hoped that the union when
grown up would take them out Of
slavery and bring some happiness into
their homes, soon began to realize that
their young union was in the hands of
beasts. They saw that it was sur
rounded by people of dark character;
and an internal fight began.
It was a bitter fight that kept up for
many months and the employers took
advantage and stabbed the union. The
/ latter was actually on the verge of
death. But the union resisted; the ap-
position was victorious, the union was
saved from the hands Of its enemies,
and it began to grow under a new en-
vironment The active workers them
selves have been watching closely how
their child was taken care of.
A Four-Year Old Wonder.
Now it is over four years old and
| it shows wonders. Not only does It
stand on fits own feet, but the labor
movement is admiring the battle put
lup by the Paper Box Makers Union.
Eight weeks of strike against so many
wolves! Why didn't the association
win out against us? Police, gangsters,
scab agents, and courts are at their
1 service. With all that support on
/ their side, the association could not
beat the Paper Box Workers into sub
mission, but every day, every week,
/ the fight becomes more militant and
more aggressive.
/ On the seventh week Of the strike,
after spending a fortune for fines,
bail and all other expenses that a bit
ter strike involves, the Paper Box
Makers Union was able to open a free
restaurant for it's workers. 1t is true
that this was possible because of the
ohppOAb VI many ldDol uHlDuos IL -
true that we are being helped morally
and financially by the labor movement.
But 1t is also true that if we had not
put up such a splendid fight, we should
never have gotten that support.
A child of over four years old, that
recently overcame all kinds Of troub-
lie, stands on the battlefield with its
sleeves rolled up. with fists closed
tight, and fights big association; and
the whole labor movement is the audi
ence, watching this fight very closely,
as the child gives one blow after the
other; the audience applauds and en-
courages the wonder child! Eight
weeks this fight goes on, The assoc
citation stands like a monster, receives
the blows and does not move. The as
sociation is trying hard to hit back;
but It is too clumsy It carries too
much burden on its back The trade!
The businessi The business that the
association loses every day, by not
supplying the customers with boxesl
To the audience. the labor move
meht: A little more support; little
more backing to the wonder child,
and victory on the part Of the Paper
Box Makers Union IS assured, for the
monster is already weak And 1t win
soon get the Knockout blow.
