ToiIers Will Challenge
Open Shop Plan of the
Bosses in Hartford, Conn.
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

fed upholder of the Coolidge
dynasty. But his efforts were short
lived.
Keep still" yelled the crowd,
This speaker has goE something we
want to hear"
And the meeting continued peace
fully, an excellent contribution was
made to the collection, and an en-
couraging amount of literature was
purchased.
The approach to the workers,
however, must be carefully and sys-
tematically built up. The next day
we were not successful in holding a
meeting in a factory district that
employees an estimated total of
$4,000 workers.
The workers had not been ap-
praised of our coming and the police
permit had been secured for the
wrong location.
Most of the workers lived within
a few blocks of the various plants.
The noon whistle, giving them an
hour to eat, sent them pell NELL
down the streets to their homes.
No time there to listen to a Com
munist speaker. But there was the
consolation that they would soon
be coming back again. But this only
resulted in a fresh disappointment.
The return tide of toiling humanity
did not set in until almost on the
minute when the whistle would
blow for the one o'clock resumption
of the days labor. Then the race
of the tide returning was as rapid
as before. If banner had been dis
played In the early morning an
nouncing the MONDAY meeting then
many workers would have come
back as quickly as possible to listen
to the speaker, and many who re-
manned within the buildings would
come out to join the throng. This
holds true everywhere.
AS it was, here in Hartford, a
physical culturist had secured the
strategic spot, at the very entrance
house of this great prison house
of toll, where few gathered to get
a breath of fresh air before rushing
back to the machine. He had studied
his problem in advance and solved
it.
On this occasion we had to be
satisfied to distribute our literature
to these Hartford workers ION the
run" The eagerness with which they
took this literature and carried it
back into the shops with them, was
sure indicating that they would
read it. That is a beginning. Sue
cessful MONDAY factory meetings
here will came.
The standards of opposition to
the open shop plan" of the en-
ployers will be lifted triumphantly
In time.

State Under Heavy Fire.
BY ESTHER LOWELL,
Federated Press.)

DEHAM, Mass, sept ID nruOuI
the hearing on the final motion OF
Sacco and Vanzetti for new trial.
William G.. Thompson, defense coun-
sci, has emphasized the fact that he
urged joint examination by both
sides Of all witnesses to forestall dis
agreement as to what was said or oc-
Cured. In contending that this would
have been the only fair procedure,
Thompson strongly attacks the state
and implies that its representatives
were not seeking the truth but rather
to save their case.
Asst. Dist. Atty. Dudley Ranney is
not blamed by Thompson. Response
bility is placed at the door of his
superior, Dist Atty. Winfield WiIbar,
and State Atty. Gen. ]. R. Benton.
Benton never called for Joint exam
nation and Wilbar fatty refused such
procedure.
Former District Attorney Frederick
Katzmann and his assistant Harold
Williams who prosecuted Sacco and
Vanzetti in the trial in 1921 are par
ticularly assailed by Thompson. Will
Jams is now U. S. attorney and could
certainly urge that the Boston files of
the U. S. department of Justice be
shown to Thompson il there were
nothing there to clear the defendants.
Neither Williams nor Katzmann deny
the afidavtts OF former federal agents
Fred Weyand and Lawrence Lether-
man.
Katzmann is charged with paying
his part of bargain with the federal
! agents in the murder frame-up by egg
ing Sacco on to give long speech
on his radical views while on the
stand. Thompson says this was done
in the hope that Sacco would give In
formation which the federal men
could use against friends of the de-
PENDANTS. That spies were used
against Sacco after his arrest IS not
| disputed by the state. Sacco Justly
feared the first approaches Of Ma
deiros, the Portuguese from Provi-
dence. who sent a note TO the con-
victed italian while both were in jail
here, saying that he. Madeiros, was
in the gang which committed the
South Braintree payroll murders
which had been laid to Sacco and Van
zetti.
Condemns Government Agents.
Thompson unsparingly condemns
the government agents who were
plotting for money against an unpro-
tected woman with two children and
who played ON the hySteria Of some
men and women about reds. (The
Palmer red raids occurred in spring,
1920, when Sacco and Vanzett were
arrested.)
Il leave it to the judgment OF man
kind whether Sacco was justified in
Fearing SPIES" declared Thompson
"and whether or not an American can
face the world knowing officials of his
| government can do that sort of thing,
Courage to convict Sacco and vanzet-
ii? Moral courage is that required
to acquit these men" Once he In
sisted that it looked as tho the state
wanted to execute Sacco and Vanzet-
Il rather than face the facts fairly
and convict those really guilty of the
payroll murders"

Especial TO The Daily Worker)
HARTFORD, Conn.,-(By MaiD-
IL Walk down the main street of
this industrial center of Connecticut
and huge sign on a giant building
under construction hits you strik-
ing blow in the face with the decla-
ration:
"oPEN SHOP PLAN"
Great delight was displayed in the
announcement that this was an
"open shop" job of the Associated
General Contractors of America.
1t screamed it.
This is the spirit of the employers
not only in Hartford, and turnout
Connecticut, but over all New Eng
land-bitter war against the work
ers.
This open shop" pronouncement
meant that all work done on this
building job was non-union. Bent
O'Brien & Co., Hartford, were pro-
claimed as the general contractors,
with Lockwood, Green & Co., of
Boston, Mass, as the engineers.
But there was also the Baldwin,
Stewart Electric Co. that wanted it
known that it did business in
Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland
and Charlotte, acting as an instru-
ment in all of these places for the
spread of open shop" rule.
They all had slogans. The Bald
win-Stewart claim to fame was
Skill, Integrity, Responsibility"
whatever all this means in bread
and butter to the plundered working
class. Not much!
Organized labor here numbers its
members almost exclusively in the
building trades. The unions here are
very weak. The billboard blazoning
"Open Shop Plan" sounds rather the
tocsin of victory over rather than a
threat against the working class.
This is in Connecticut where even
the democratic party in state con-
vention denounces the fraud of Coo
lidge prosperity" declaring that
instead the Coolidge-Mellon- But
Ter regime has brought wage cuts
in the unorganized industries, that
it has brought growing unemploy-
ment and poverty among the
masses. But in republican Connec-
ticut this democratic mail comes
from a helpless middle class minor
ity that suffers thru loss of work
ing class patronage. So it cries
aloud in resolutions.
Here in Connecticut the workers
listen eagerly to the Communist
message. / found this out by ad-

KHAN CHIEFTAIN
HURLS DIRK AT
ALIEN WORKERS
Knight of Night Shirt
Takes on Big Job
BY LAURENCE TODD.
Federated Press.

WASHINGTON, Sept 17-No soon
er had the predicted march of $4,000
members of the ku klux khan thru
the national capitol simmered down
to a parade of only $4,000 than I'm.
perial Wizard Evans disclosed the
ominous fact that he is going to try
to force an alien-registration bill thru
congress. The first session of the ma
tional convention of the khan which
followed the parade was marked by
.reactionary speeches by leaders
whose names were kept secret. But
at the next session Evans became the
public spokesman for these ideas.
To Save the Nordles.
ITO save America from aienism,"
is the first of his obscurantist slogans.
By that he means to- prevent the
mongrelization of our race and to pro-
mote a steady nationalism rather than
to permit the strength of America to
be dissipated thru an insipid cosmo-
politanism."
In definite terms, Evans explained,
this means the enactment of law
which will keep every alien under
the official eye by means of compul-
sorry registration at stated intervals.
This is the scheme which Secretary
Of Labor Davis has advocated for the
past five years without making any
favorable impression upon congress.
1t is favored by the big non-uniOn en-
ployers such as U. S. Steel.
Down With Melting Pot.
Next, the head of the khan propos-
| ed to bar all immigration of any kind
so that America for the future would
depend for her growth upon the hui
man elements already here. The re-
fuge of the oppressed of foreign lands
and the melting pot of races and cul-
lures would cease to be.
Third, he would establish protest
antism as the unofficial but neverthe-
less actual state religion in America.
This would be achieved by putting
"the bible and the flag" into every
school. BY the bible he meant pro-
testant religious instruction. One of
the hooded" speakers at the first
session indicated that the khan would
not tolerate modernism in bible teach
ing. While the khan would establish
absolute religious freedom" as a con-
stitutional right, Evans said 1t would
"remake and hold sturdy protestant
ism" as the key to national destiny.
Woven thru these phrases was the
general theme of political opportun-
ism. The convention was told that
the khan would use its power in ev-
cry political contest, to elect its sup
porters and defeat men who did not
stand for its national principles.

j. S.-ARGENT|NA AIR
SERVICE DOUBTED
Weather Conditions Chief
Obstacle, Says Companion
of Duggan.

by Ine ASSOC lateu LleSS.
BUENOS AIRES, August IA. -
Mai. Eduardo OliverO. who ac-
companied Bernard Duggan, Argen-
tine sportsman, on his flight from
New York to Buenos Aires, believes
that the fight proved the impracti
ability for the present of regular
United States and Argentina.
Maj. Olivero based his opinion on
the observation of the flight, which
required 50 days. although it had
been hoped to cover the distance
leisurely in about three weeks. The
ma jor said that the chief difficulty
was the changeable weather prevail
ing in the Northern and Southern
Iiemispheres.
He said that they encountered the
same obstacles which had been eX-
perienced by Lieut.. Walter Hinton,
United States Navy. who attempted
the same trip several years ago.
Lieut.. Hinton was six months en-
route, and finished his flight only
after his seaplane had been replaced
and numerous other difficulties over
come In Maj Oivero's opinion
these same obstacles would face
any aviator. even if the enterprise
were begun in a more faVOra BILE
season.
The ma jor said that their Italian
built seaplane worked magniticently
and did not require the change of a
single screw during the long $500
mile flight, nearly 1000 miles of
which was made under rain.
Senior Duggan and Maj. Olivero,
who. with their mechanic. Lieut..
Erneste Campo nelli. have been the
center of numerous ovations. express
ed gratitude for the facilities afford
ed by the United States Army, Navy
and Air Services.
