SITE
FACES FIGHT

The real fight upon the choice
of the lexington site for the new
farmers market will not begin until
civic organizations and commission
merchants have had an opportunity
to make complete canvass of
local sentiment. it was indicated
today.
The first furry of opposition to
the proposed location probably will
be strengthened by the time the Ma
tionaI Capital Park and Planning
Commission is ready TO hear the
protests that are being prepared.
The fight will be carried to Con-
gress. If necessary, by the local in
terests opposing the lexington site.
The lexington site was chosen,
officials say, because of It's rail-
road facilities, its opportunity for
development because of unoccupied
land nearby, and the fact that the
great bulk of farmers serving the
District come from Maryland and
not from Virginia, for whom the
Southwest site is more convenient.
They emphasize the fact. how
ever. that the selection does not
represent a final judgment.

FREE STATE DISCUSSING
SUCCESSOR TO GOV. GEN

DUBLIN, Oct. 19.-It is generally
believed that the term OF office of
Tim Healy, governor general Of the
Free State of Ireland, is drawing
TO a close, and the appointment of
his successor is being anxiously dis
cussed.
The name of the Earl of Granard,
very rich Irish Roman Catholic,
is being freely mentioned.
AT the same time there IS a
strong sentiment for the appoint.
ment of an untitled Irishman, and
for the reduction Of the position
to one of austere simplicity and
neglKibility.

extraordinary effort had the very for
tunate result of holding up our
weakened membership, morale and or

justifying the expense"
But the 1000 members brought in
merely filed the places of other who
rapidly dropped out. The socialists
now have little hope or plan to plug
up the leaks promised for the coming
year.
The membership report for the first

that the bulk of the socialist party

Workers on the Chicago elevated

the death benefit and the sick benefit
are maintained on contributions of the

workers now insist on having the com

CONVENTION OF
A. C. v. Opens
in MONTREAL
Convention Cheers the
British Strike
BY JACK JOHNSTON.
Especial to The Daily Worksr)

MONTREAL, May 1o.-Two thou
sand delegates and visitors attended
che opening session of the convention
Of the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers' Union. President Sidney HiIlman
and the members of the general ex-
ecutlVe board made their entrance
while the band played the "MarselIl-
lalse," "God Save the King" the "Star
SpandIed 5anner'' and the "Interna-
tIonal."
Hillman said in his opening speech
chat the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers' Union had extended it's field of
influence and become stronger numer-
Acally in spite of attacks from without
and from within. He advanced the
theory that only weak organizations
were drawn into strikes and advised
class collaboration under the slogan
Of industrial democracy"
EuIogzes Nash.
He eulogized Golden Rule" Nash
as man who practiced what he
preached and said that the Nash agree
ment contained every clause included
IN other agreements between manu-
facturers and the A. c. w. Those
employers who drag American work
ing conditions to the level Of the
Chinese do not realize that both the
employers and the workers would be
IN the same DITCH" Hillman said.
He told the story of the Information
al Tailoring company strike in Chica-
go. The union won a nineteen weeks
strike without single desertion. I'VE
tried to avoid the strike, but because
the employers received aid from the
United Garment Workers Union we
were forced into it,"
The whole speech was obviously a
thfnly yelled attack upon the left
wing. He closed with a bitter attack
upon the opposition, terming them a
small, INSCRIPTIONS group who would
stop at nothing to gain their end. He
mentioned no names. He justified the
expulsion of those who are in oppo-
eition.
Gave Russia one-Fourth Million.
He said that the Amalgamated had
given quarter of a million dollars
% Russia during the famine, that it
had helped to establish the Russian
Clothing Industry, that it gave aid
to the German, Austrian and Polish
workers and had assisted the strike
In Passaic and the furriers' strike in
New York, irrespective of their Dol.
icies. He then inferred that the left
wing should not interfere with the
administration policy. He said his
slogan was Unity, loyalty and soil
darfty with the ranks"
Speaking in support of the British
strikers, Hillman urged moral and
kinancial aid to their cause. The dele
gates rose to their feet and gave three
cheers for the British strikers.

berg, Secretary of the union spoke
after Hillman. Without openly stat
ing so and while he advocated unity,
loyalty and honest criticism of the adj
ministration," Schlossberg followed
Hillman's lead in the question OF ex-
pulsions.
The convention adjourned for the
day to allow the delegates to mako a
sightseeing tour. The sessions will
probably conclude on the 18th of MAY.

the average for the first three months
of this year.
The whole faith. OF the socialist
party has now been placed In it's week
ly organ, the, American Appeal. Sec
rotary kirkpatrick expressed this faith
when he declared:
1.-THE American Appeal is by far the
best, If not the only available--or
practicable-resource for the upbuild-
ing of the party, at this time, and is
the one big thing for organization
work as regarded from the national
Office point Of. view"
cahap Buys Control.
The financial report, however, shows
that the American Appeal has already,
after few weeks, eaten up nearly
all the mordy taken in on subscrip-
lions. A subs ldy Of 81 900 per month is
promised by Abraham Cahan's New
York Daily Forward. Cahan was
also the big financial hacker of the
New York Daily Call for a long
time. But wien he contributed finan-
cial support, he was always on the
job insisting on debating editorial
policies.
Attack the War Debs.
There was big element in the so
cialist convention that believed the
cancellation of the war debts was a
war preventative. The proposition
finally adopted read:
1--WE denounce the present method
adopted by the United States govern
ment of settling war debts upon an
arbitrary basis and its brazen discrim-
ination in favor of reactionary govern
ments. Thus it granted extraordinary
generous terms to the murderous
fascist regime in Italy while imposing
much harsher terms upon the COM
paratively liberal government of
France. It's settlement with Italy
amounts to gift of s2,O00,OOO, 900 in
interest to the Mussolini dictatorship
upon plea OF poverty; yet at once
upon this settlement the Mussolini
government agreed to pay no less than
seven per cent interest to Wall Street
bankers for a loan Of S100,000,O00 for
imperialistic purposes. 1t is hypocrisy
for nations spending upon war and
war-like preparations more money than
before the world war, to plead poverty.
The socialist dparty favors complete
cancellation by the United States of
all governmental war debts, including
sums due from Germany, but only up
on condition of international disarma-
ment and cancellation Of all inter-
allied war debts and all reparation
claims" o
This is practically the position of
the republican senator, William e.
Borah, Of Idaho. No mention is made
of European workers repudiating the
debts to Wall Streets international
bankers.
Berger Is Almost Forgotten.
In considering the question Of lynch
ing 1t was proposed that the conven-
ton favor the Overwhelmingly anti
lynching bill. Mckinley is the reac-
tionary senator from Illinois. The
resolution was on'its way to passage
when someone remembered that the
socialist congressman, Berger, had an
anti-lynching bill before congress.
This was then approved.
"vic" Berger was remembered again |
as the convention drew near to ad-
journment.
II make a motion that Berger sing
us song" yelled one enthusiastic |
delegate, as the motion to adjourn
came up.
But the motion was not considered.
Berger was not given the opportunity |
to sing. If he had, II would probably
have been a dirge.
