A RMIST1CE DAY is a time for
"A delivering fake sermons on
Peace" while at the same time
beating up hysteria in preparation
for the next war. 1t may seem that
this is a difficult contradiction to
impose successfully upon the people
Nevertheless, it is done. President
Cal Coolidge did it again yesterday
at Kansas City, Mo-, where he de-
Dictated memorial to war, on the
eighth anniversary of the signing Of
the armistice on November II, 1918.
1t is an armistice indeed, an ad-
mission that the last war was not
'the war to end all wars" An arm
istice is a time for speedy recupera-
ton and careful preparation for the
next bloody encounter. That is the
period thru which we are now pass
ing. The next war will end all wars
only if the masses who suffer will
unite to end the capitalist system
that breeds fratricidal struggles as
an inevitable accompaniment of its
conflicting imperialist ambitions.
No kaiser, on throne or horseback,
ever boosted more vehemently Of
the militarism at his beck and call,
than Cal Coolidge, commander-in-
chief Of the American forces of war,
sea, land and air-bragged of the
armed might of Wall Street in his
speech at Kansas City.
Coolidge painted the glory pic
ture of war preparations. Four bill
lions of dollars appropriated during
the last six years. There is no bet
ter navy than our own in the world"
The army is mot unmatched by
any other of like number of troops"
The entire military and naval forces
represent a strength altogether the
largest we have ever maintained in
time Of peace" Coolidge acclaimed
the five-year program for improving
the aviation service declaring, ut
is a mistake to suppose that our
country is tagging behind in this
modern art" So far as the air pro-
gram is concerned, Coolidge issued
this def to the. rest Of the capitalist
world:
Both in the excellence and speed
of it's planes it holds high records,
while in number of miles covered in
commercial and postal aviation 1t
exceeds that Of any other country"
Thus the United States OF Amer
lea prepares against the day when
the capitalist armistice will be bro
ken, the dogs of war again unleash
ed and the world again turned into
a weller of human blood and agony,
: for the glory of profits.
-
It was hardly a coincidence that,
at the same moment that Coolidge
started his speech at Kansas City,
while guns were booming and
whistles shrieking over the land,
that there should arrive in The
DAILY WORKER editorial office an
additional installment Of the flood
of publicity that comes from the

Il VICTIMS OF
BOMB FRAME-UP
APPEAR NOV. 10
Passaic Strikers Are Be-
hind Them

PASSAIC, N. j., Nov 1.-THE mill
controlled police of the strike area
have tried for 40 weeks to break the
big textile strike in Passaic and vi
cinity, Failing in their efforts to club
the strikers back to the mills, they
have resorted to all sorts of manu-
featured frame-ups in the attempt to
remove the leadership Of the strike.
In these attempts they have had the
full cooperation of the so-called law
courts, which have been busy doing
their bit to please the mill bosses and
break the strike by handing out saw
age Jail sentences and, in order to
deplete the small funds of the strik-
ers, exacting heavy fines and setting
exorbitant bail.
Bomb Frame-Up.
The numerous and various frame
ups by the mill-owned police have col
lapsed in the past. Now, however.
comes the bombing frame-up, in which
Al good strikers were seized and held
incommunicado in Jail for five days
before bail was set in exorbitant fig
ures During those five days they
were subjected to the most brutal and
revolving police third degree tortures.
Trial Nov. 10.
The cases of these men come up on
November 10. Money must be forth
coming for their defense. Able law
yers must be employed to give them
the best defense possible, in order to
thwart the efforts of the courts and
police to railroad them to prison as a
punishment for their activities in the
strike Organized labor must come to
their defense. The workers every
whore must rally to their aid
The bosses and their police have
manufactured another Mooney case
but on a far bigger scale. Organized
labor must smash this frame-up In the
bud, by rushing money to Passaic for
defense Of these men. The address

by Tim McGrath to fight jeff,
who wasn't very well known
but who presented the appear
ance Of a big grizzly bear in the
ring.
Pete had never seen Jim, and
McGrath knew if he ever saw
him in the ring a minute before
the gong, he'd jump into the
next county. So, McGrath
stationed confederate at Jeff's
dressing room to give him q
signal when jeff would leave
to enter the ring.
At the signal, McGrath
jumped into the ring hurriedly
and started to rub down Mr..

So Jeff got into the ring with
out being seen by his opponent.

corner, swinging both hands,
and Corbett met him with ter
rifle right which closed both

tough sailor, who picked Jim
up and slammed him into the
ropes, making a general rough

The bugs were in pande-

However, it appears that the
coolest man in the place was
Corbett, who, realizing the dam

could box, making the challenger
miss continuously and, when
cornered, tying him up so COM
pletely in the clinches that it
was hardly possible for Sharkey
to land a solid blow.
This continued for four full

In the third Goslin made a great
