''Is the Daily Worker
a Menace?" Debated
Before Denver Crowd
By a Worker correspondent.

DENVER, Colo. (By Mail) Jon
Sunday, May 23rd, J.. E. Snyder, rep
resenting The DAILY WORKER, de-
bated with Frank H. Rice, bishop of
the Liberal Church of Denver, on the
merits of The DAILY WORKER. The
question arranged to debate on was
Resolved, that The DAILY WORKER
is a paper, which, if dt is kept going,
will finally teach the working people
to abolish capitalism and establish
workers government in the u. S. A.,
the same as the workers have done in
Russia" Rice's 10 points against a
workers press caused the audience to
laugh continuously, and he even at
times had to conceal a little laughter
as he progressed in his arguments.
Comrade Snyder replied with sledge-
hammer blows to the 10 points against
The DAILY WORKER in reply to
Rice's arguments, and when he fin
ished his reply the audience was of
one accord, that The DAILY
WORKER and workers press was
very necessary to combat the lies of
of the capitalist press. AS each per-
son left the hall he was given a sam
pie copy Of The DAILY WORKER.
Quite a number of subs were taken
the past few days by Comrade Snyder
with help by the local comrades for

KLANSMEN FAIL
IN ATTEMPT TO
CONVICT NEGRO
Jury Frees Miner of
Murder Charge
BY a Worker Correspondent.

VESTBURG, Pa, June 2.-Robert L.
Payne, Negro coal miner, was dis
charged of all responsibility for the
death of Edward White, a klansman
and Negro hater, at the grand jury
inquest.
Died After Drinking Spell.
Edward White met his death after
going on one of his drinking spells.
White had a habit after one of his
drinking spells to go around the mine
bowling that he would kill every
Negro in Vestaburg.
On May 10 after he got drunk in
Fredericktown, he went to the house
next to him in which there were three
or four Negro families. White stood
in front of the house shouting that he
was going to kill all Of them except
six that would be needed for pail
bearers. Robert L. Payne, who was
seated on the porch, told White to
move on and mind his own business.
Unable to Provoke Payne.
White, unable to provoke Payne,
brought two revolvers from his home
and threatened to kill Payne. Payne
ran into the house. White followed.
Payne seized a shot gun and told
White to leave the house as he was
determined to protect his wife and
children against attack by White.
White threatened to shoot.
Payne knocked the reYolvers out of
Whites hands. He later gave these
revolvers to Whites stepfather. White
seeing he was unable to carry out his
plans, went back to his home and fell
asleep on the porch. He was picked
up and brought into his own house in
about a half-hour.-
kIansman Dies.
The klansman was found dead in
the morning by his roommate. The
stepfather then accused Payne of kill
ing his stepson.
At the grand jury inquest the STEP
father and five witnesses gave per
jured testimony trying to blame the
Negro miner for the death of this
klansman. The lawyer for Payne and
a number of doctors brought out that
death was not due to use Of any vio-
lent means but that it was due to al
coholic poisoning and from going on
too many moonshine parties.
Negro Workers Aid Payne.
The Negro mine workers did not let
Payne fight his battle alone. They
rallied to the support of Payne. They
secured lawyer to represent him be-
fore the grand jury and did all they
could to keep him from the gallows.
The American Negro Labor Congress
also was an important factor in the
defense of Payne.

Commission has blamed on c. E.
Massie, strikebreaking engineer, cost
the road enough to have paid the 51b
per cent increase in wages-oyer
which the dispute arose-for all its
engineers and firemen for five years.
1T is absurd" said Paddock, ito
claim that a road owned in large part
by the Rockefellers, the richest men
in the world, is the only Class 1 rail-
road in the United States which can
not pay this comparatively modest
wage to its engine service employees.
We have been forced reluctantly to
the conclusion that it is not a question
of ability to pay but rather a determ-
ination on the part of the Western
Maryland management to wipe out
every semblanee of organization
among its men. In other words. the
western Maryland is what is called by
railroad men hard boiled road
Forced Workers to Buy Stocks.
Paddock showed that the company
still keeps Massie, the strikebreaker
who had the 100000 wreck, and that
it also keeps A. Williamson, super
intendent of the ElEins division, and
his chief clerk, F. M. Bother. these
two men having been president and
treasurer, respectively, of an alleged
oil company that faded away after
many employees of the road had been
cajoled or inundated into buying
stock.
Byers, on the stand, seriously testi.
fed that Rockefeller urged on him a
policy Of Cancellation, but he brushed
Rockefeller's views aside. He ordered
the engine crews to sign what they
call the yellow dog" contracts, as
Individual employees, surrendering all
claims that were in dispute. Thirty
six Of the men were dismissed when
they refused. This lookout then be-
came a strike Of all train crews
belonging to the brotherhoods. Still,
he asserted, he was not opposed to
unions.
Tried to Frame Up Sabotage.
w. p. Crabtree, former brakeman
on the road, testified to having seen
a strikebreaking official OF the COM
pany turn an angle.cock connected
with the airbrakes, in an attempt to
create the impression that someone
had tried to cripple the control of the
train while on a mountain grade-in
a case involving runaway train and
wreck. He charged that he was dis
charged for refusing to sign false
statements in connection with this
runaway.
Byers rejected suggestions by Sen.
Wheeler that the strike be settled. He
said that he had guaranteed perman.
emit employment to all his strike
breakers.

Bellingham Plumbers
Debate Raising the
Union Initiation Fee
BY 3. LEFcosKI,
Worker Correspondent

SEATTLE, Wash. (By Mail) While
recently DIN Bellingham l talked with
an official of the Plumbers Union
about how things we're going in the
local. He told me that a short time
ago the locals meeting, after the
usual routine business, discussed a
motion to raise the initiation fee from
$40 to SIS, or even more.
This official fought against the mo-
tlon, on the ground that the union
initiation should be as low as possible
to get as many Of the plumbers in the
union as possible. That was the way
to make the union strong, he said, as
it could not be strong by maintaining
small unit just to raise money.
That would defeat the purpose Of the
union.
The one who wanted the motion
passed stated that the union should
not take any more members, as it had
too many already"
But the official contended, so he
stated. that if the union would not
NNhO la 0AAy WoAhCAb VIM WOIh
as plumbers that would not stop them
working at the trade, but only compel
them to work as scabs, getting the
benefit OF the union scale. which ordi-
narily determines that even the
plumbers who are not members get
higher wages than they would II there
were no union; at the same time these
unorganized plumbers would be for
hidden by the union from helping the
union. The union. therefore, would
be to blame for non-union work, and
not the unorganized workers.
(Worker correspondents should be
careful to include all essential news
in their articles. 1t will be noted that
the writer of the above entirely forgot
to tell us whether the motion to raise
the initiation fee was carried or was
lost.--Editor)
