NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-Mass meet
ings are being arranged in most of the
Eastern cities for Bishop William
Montgomery Brown, who, with F. G.
Biedenkapp, will speak on the urgent
need of a relief organization for the
entire working class. This question
has become one of tremendous import
ance with the breaking out of the Chi
nese workers struggle for freedom
and the terrible repression of the ris-
ing labor movements of Europe.
Bishop Brown is in fine fighting
mettle, his recent expulsion from the
house Of bishops of the episcopalian
church because of the evolutionary
views expressed in his book, Christ
ianity and Communism" having vastly
increased his field of activity. Bed
enkapp is forceful and effective
speaker and organizer who has become
prominent by his work in the interest
of labor and as lecturer for the
Friends of Soviet Russia.
These meetings will deal with live
issues Of the greatest Importance and
are sure to be well worth attending.

VETS And DRYS

Smoke Screen to Fool

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S-While .
group of prohibitionists in the house
are striving to devise a scheme to
whitewash the disgracefui conduct of
the prohibition enforcement branch Of
the government and thereby vindi-
cate the meddlesome and fanatic
Wayne B. Wheeler, head of the anti
saloon league, senate committee Is
to conduct another investigation that
will endeavor to prove that the main
support of the anti-saloon league and
other organizations of religious and
semi-religious nature are in reality sup
ported by the big bootleggers who
have grown rich and powerful since
the inauguration of the Volstead act.
Bootleggers want the country to re-
main dry so that they can continue to
reap big harvests and they subsidize
anti-saloon organizations for that pur-
pose according to well-informed peo-
pie at Washington.
The dry committee under the lead
lership of Congressman Grant NJ Hud-
son, republican of Michigan, is expect
ed to submit a report favorable to the
law as now enforced, while the SEN
ate committee, sponsored by Senator
Edge, republican of New Jersey, will
probably present evidence to show
that the Hudson committee is cor
rupted by bootleggers and other inter
ests who want the law to remain as
| it is.
Interesting revelations regarding
the crookedness of the government
and the shining lights on both sides
of the controversy are expected. The
breweries and distilleries are backing
the vets, while the preachers and
bootleggers back the drys.
The issue is smoke screen that
will be utilized to the limit to divert
the minds of the workers from their
economic and political grievances into
fight over the prohibition law.

Cleveland T. U.E.L. Addresses State Labor

tiquated system of craft unionism
greatly interferes with successful or
ganization and at the same time
makes it easy for the employers as.
sociations to single out the unions one
at time for destruction. Disunity
must be replaced by unification.
Amalgamation of the craft unions
into a few big departmentalized in
dustrial unions to then work together
as unit, is the crying need of labor
at the present time. There must be
no discrimination against the Negro
workers. The white and colored
workers must organize together and
fight side by side. They must not
continue the fatal mistake of disunity
which only works to the advantage
Of the employers. No explosions be-
cause of disagreeing with the policies
or leadership of the union officials, or
because Of political views held by
members of the unions.
World Unity.
World trade union unity is de-
manded now as never before. The
American Federation of Labor should
join with the labor organizations Of
all other countries in a unified world
federation of labor. World unity also
involves the drawing in of the Rus
sian trade unions into the world labor
movement. An effective step in this
direction would be an American
trade union delegation to Soviet Rus
STA to study conditions and the char
acter of the Russian trade union move
ment.
Organize a Labor Party.
Labor must be unified on the polit-
zeal field as well. The "non-partisan"
policy, and the support of so-called
progressive movements" are very
weak, unreliable and deceptive meth
DDS Of political action. Labor must
have a party of its own or it is only
the football of all sorts of political
takers, and the victim OF the almost
undisputed power Of the big financial,
anti-union interests In the govern
ment.
The trade unions should take i'm
mediate steps to organize and build
a railroad party. This is absolutely
necessary in the promotion of the or
ganization Of the unorganized be-
cause the alphabetically controlled
government is one OF the strongest
union-crushing agencies.
Work for This Program.
We call upon the Columbus confer
ence and all labor bodies to adopt
this program and carry It energet-
ically into effect. We urge all pro-
gressive members in the unions to
join the progressives already working
together in the Trade Union Educa-
tional League to promote this pro-
gram.
Please notify us of any support
given to this program and write for
further information to Trade Union
League; Cleveland Group,
I405 East 18th St., Cleveland, Ohio.

THE men who will make the bill a
4 law in the senate and house, and
the president who will sign it, are
enemies of labor. They say, and the
capitalist press repeats, that the
Watson-Parker bill is designed to end
strikes on the railroads. It is a mo
strike" law under a disguise.
There is no doubt that these reac.
tionary foes of the labor movement
know what they are doing. They are
not handing a gift to the unions. They
give nothing whatever, unless they
receive a double return. And in this
case the railroad owners are getting

HTHY did the union officials agree
w to this? The answer to this
question is most important for the
railroad workers, for 1t determines
how they must fight if they wish tc
defeat the proposed slavery law. The
union officials agreed to it, because
they have abandoned the fight against
the employing class! They are enter
ing into partnership with the employ
ers, the union officials preventing
strikes, in return being granted the
privilege of collecting dues from the
workers on the roads. The interests
of the workers are completely betray

now REALIZED
Mine STRIKE IS
FINISH Fight
CappelIini Is Opposing
Complete Strike
Especial to The Daily Worker

WlLkES8ARRE, Pa, Jan. 1s.-The
atmosphere in the anthracite is tense
today. On every hand one hears from
the lips Of the miners, "A fight to
the finish" All the hypoerltleal COW
ering of the priests who tried to get
the miners back to work with soft
soap about fair dealing by the oper-
ators, all the veneer Of "peaee" is
gone. In their stead there is the class
struggle, stark and vigorous.
The only hope" existing is that the
Pennsylvania state legislature, sum
moned into special session by Govern
or Pinchot, will do something, no
body knows what, to settle the strike.
But the miners are not depending on
governors or conferences any more.
They know now that it is fight to
the finish" and the agitation spread
ing from District No, l, where the
Pennsylvania company's union grew
ance committee has already called out
the maintenance men, to repeat this
action in all the tri-district, is growing
fast.
cappeIIInl Opposes Complete Strike.
In the face of this demand from the
rank and file, Rinaldo Cappellini,
president of District No. 1, is fight
ing tooth and nail against the mem
bership of the union making it a 100
per cent strike. Cappellini wants the
maintenance scabs to be allowed to
keep on producing coal, to keep on
maintaining the mines in perfect
shape so that the owners can laugh
at the straving miners and then can
begin operations again at the moment
starvation gets unbearable, and the
miners dribble back to work as scabs
under the open shop.
Pinchot is known to be hostile to
the operators for failure to support
him politically by indorsing his plan,
which embodied their principle of ar
bitration. At Harrisburg he is quot
ed as having laid the blame for the
breakdown of the negotiations on the
operators.
A Public Utility.
Pinchot is laying the matter before
the legislature and asking for the an
thracite industry to be declared a pub
lie utility.

Of Admiral Horthy, regent of Hungary.
in the thirty billion franc foraerles Is
now dispeIled and on, every hand It is
recognized that the forgeries were car
ried out under the direction of Horthy
himself. The plot, unearthed by
French agents who have been trying
to locate the source Of the counter
felt francs thrown upon the European
market, was Matched in the headquar-
ters of the regent. The plot is now
brot to the very door Of Horthy.
Paris opinion is fast becoming hos
tile to the United States as it is thot
the American ambassador encouraged
the plot, if he was not actually involv-
ed, in an effort further to deplete
currency on the world market and
thus bring nearer the day of complete
French capitulation to Wall Street
and Dawes plan. : III
Exposes Karolyi Forgeries.
Accompanying thes expose of the
counterfeit plot there has been re-
vealed whole series of the most dis
graceful acts of criminal conspiracy,
involving the exiles driven from Hun
gary because they challenged the
bloody despotism of Horthy The ex-
animation of Prince Windisch-Graetz
in the counterfeiting investigation
brot out proof that he forged docu-
ments on the basis of which Countess
Karolyi was barred from the United
States.
AS is usual in the case of Europ-
can despots caught in some contempt
IDLE trick a heavy censorship exists
in Hungary and correspondents are
forced to send their information from
points outside the country which en-
tales great hardship upon them.
All papers publishing reports Of the
plot are threatened with suspension
and arrests of editors if they dare
try to implicate others in the plot ex-
cept those already mentioned by the
official police reports. The police,
meanwhile, are hushing up every sus-
picion that points toward Horthy and
his bloody regime and trying to Gre
ate the impression that he was un-
aware of the counterfeiting and forg-
cries.
May Attempt Overthrow.
A group of HupgA-lan emigres in
Paris around Count Michael Karolyi
are contemplating coup d'etat that
will restore the former democratic
bourgeois government.
However, it is remembered that
Karolyi, when he was head of the gov=
eminent, was overthrown by the Boil
sheviks of Hungary, and the Paris
ruling clique fears another proletarian
uprising in Hungary. They desire to
get rid of Horthy but they fear the
aftermath of such an 'upheava at this
time. A'
