I. The Methods Of the Terror.

I. The Methods Of the Terror.
UNDOUBTEDLY Poland is that
- country which more than any
other country has made its white ter
ror system and does not shock us
by temporary sensational outbursts
Of bloody terror but by the perman-
ence and machine-like routine work of
It's hangmen. White terror in Poland
can be compared with gradually
spreading epidemic which demands
innumerable victims, but towards
which public opinion remains indif-
ferent.
The Communist Party Of Poland
Completely Illegal.
TINE main object against which the
prosecutions Of the all-powerful
political police, the so-called DE
fensive" are directed, is naturally the
Communist Party OF Poland. It is
quite Illegal and person who joins
it is guilty of high treason and SEN
fenced to long terms Of hard labor
AS a proof of membership to the
Communist Party a Communist leahet,
found in the house, a denunciation,
the statement of a spy or agent pro-
vocateur are sufficient.
The Communist Party has no right
to participate in elections. The present
Communist fraction in parliament was
formed by two Communists who were
elected on the list of the legal organ
ization, League of the Proletariat in
Town and Village; for further men,
bers of the Communist fraction were
former members of the Ukrainian So
cialist party and developed into Com
munists only after their election and
joined the fraction.
Also the alleged parliamentary i'm
munity does not protect the Commun-
list members Of parliament from per-
secutions. Under the shiniest pre-
lenses they are delivered to the courts
and sentenced for high treason to long
terms of Imprisonment. This was the
fate in 1922 of Comrade Dombal and
in 1925 OF Comrade Lanzuzki. The lat
ter was sentenced for Indictment to
class hatred" in two trials to six years
hard labor and at present a new trial
is being prepared against him for an
appeal which he signed in 1923.
The Old Imperial Codes Are Applied.
EoR the persecution of the labor
movement the Polish bourgeoisie
uses the old imperial codes of the Rus
sian, German and Austrian pre-war
rule. These reactionary penal codes
which in their old form are at present
in use neither in Germany nor in
Austria-not to mention Russial-are
fully applied in present-day Poland,
they have even been still intensified!
Paragraphs on high treason which
were no more applied before the war
las for instance the Austrian para
graph IS, which provides only death
sentence) are again in force.

CLEANERS AND

Demand 8-Hour Day and

GARY, md, Aug. rs. - Members

the Master Cleaners and Dyers' Assoc
citation refused to give recognition to

union.

Brother McKendrick, president Of
the union declared the strike was 100
per cent turnout Lake county which
includes, Whiting, Hammond, Gary,
Indiana Harbor and South Chicago. He
said the demands Of the union were
for an S-hour day, 44-hour week and
a uniform wage-scale.
Regarding the future of the strug-
gle, President McKendrick only said
1--WE are ready 10 negotiate" To date,
however, the masters association has
refused to talk to the union about a
settlement. The struggle is therefore
reminiscent of the recent fight of the
cleaners and dyers OF Los Angeles,
who, however, won their strike hands
down after several weeks OF picketing.
Try For Open Shop.
1t is plain that the Master Cleaners
and Dyers' Association are intent upon
smashing the union and declaring an
open shop in their establishments in
Lake county. But the workers in the
union are determined to stand out
against this attack and to force the
employers association not only to re-
cognize the union but to grant their
demands as we'll

N. Y. FEDERATION

ITS CONVENTION
BY HERBERT BENJAMIN
Especial to The Daily Worker)

NIAGARA FALLS, Aug. 2s.- The
New York State Federation of Labor
convention opened here with the u.s.
ual ceremonies and invocations.
President Sullivans report made no
effort to analyze the conditions of
organized and unorganized workers of
the state. but was devoted to a very
apparent effort to jockey the conYen-
ton into the Tammany Tigers den.
The report shows that the repub-
licans have betrayed their prediction
pledges, and proposes the organization
of local non-partisan committees for
the election of friends and defeat of
enemies of labor"

Very Few "FrIends"

can appended record of votes cast
in legislature this year on labor bills
shows that of fifty-one senators only
nine voted in favor of all the measures
supported by labor, thirty-seven Of one
hundred and fifty In the lower house.
Quite a number who voted for some
bills were conveniently absent when
their vote was needed to decide the
fate OF measure.
The report speaks in the most laud-
atory manner of the work OF the ex-
ecutives and administrators of state
departments and paves the road for an
endorsement of Tammahy candidates.
Fight For Office.
A fight is expected for the presi-
dency of the federation. John Sullivan
the present incumbent, succeeded to
the Office after Mayor Walker pres
ented Jas. p. Holland with a soft Job
that gave more promise OF easy money.
The struggle will be between three
groups who have as yet maintained a
judicious silence.
Where Friendship" Pays.
An interesting section Of the presi-
dents report is the sectiCn dealing
with labor banks. After boosting the
Federation Bank OF New York, the re.
port sounds warning against efforts
along the some line being made else
where. The Federation Bank should be
no criterion because the success OF
that institution is due to the wide
range of acquaintanceship in the f.
nancial and business world and II they
could not obtain their advice and as
sistance, conditions would not be so
prosperous.
The convention will be in session
here four days. Very few rank and file
delegates can be seen among the over
six hundred present.

VAST WEALTH FRON COAL

New processes for the dstillaon of coal at low tenn
peratues are announced in England which expected
to cove the countrys coal mining problem and revou-
tonize its fuel industry. with stupendous effects on
some of the other industries
By this method il is said coal be turned into coke
possessing higher fuel value than the original coal.
and at the time there can be developed from the
300.00000 tons of coal mined per year, by-producs
worth S3,000000,000. The by-products include mo-
tor fuel with more kick" than present gasoline and
large quantities Of oil gas, and other valuable
mercial products.
That would keep the coal mines busy when the syS
tenn was in operation, and would make plenty of
work in allied occupations for any men not needed III
the mines At the time it would give big stnlu-
lus to various Industries, put British industry in
era its and add greatly to the national wealth.
II that can be done in England, It can be done IN
America and other countries with big coal deposits
And there is little question that rapid progress will be
made in that direction.
Thus among numerous pleasant prospects. there
is shown reassurng answer to the ofrepeated QueS
ton as to what we will do for motor fuel when pc
troleum plays out.

STEAM NOTORS

The steamer automobiles of decade OF two ago
have vanished, but they may come back The latest
thing along this line is a steam-propeled bus, for
which these claims made:
The new ear can accelerate from stop 10 full speed
without a jcrk under the worst traffic conditions. 1t
maintain speed OF one quarter to one half mile an
hour under any road condition. Even on down grades
the bus can be controlled brought to dead stop by
the engine alone. No brakes are necessary
This leaves a motoTiSt bit dizzy. Consider the
further statements that The has plStonS and
cylinders revolving around fixed shaft and the fire
electrically controlled and fed by fuel spray and the
IS started by turning switch and stepping on the
tea and there is starter. carburator SHIFT
and generally speaking. il has pep OF the gas engine
with the feXblity and smoothness OF the steam en-
sine.
If all this is true, the new bus should be popular
And if there be such a marvel in public bus. its
principles may be applied to the private bus. This
steam engine may not be obsolete Yet for While.
