5000 Attend New
York Party Picnic

NEW YORK, July 1. y over five
thousand Workers (Communist) Party
members and sympathzers attended
the first picnic arranged this season
by District Two This is the largest
picnic in the history OF the party.
This influence of the party is a re-
suit of the reorganization Of the party
that brot the membership into direct
contact with tens of thousands of
workers that II had no contact with
before. This growing influence is also
result of the tremendous influence
of the party in this city in the trade
unions due to the fact that in every
strike in every struggle, the Commun-
lists are recognized as the most mill.
tant and best fighters in the interests
of the workers.
The Workers (Communist) Party Is
now beginning a drive TO double It's
membership and there is every reason
to believe that a great portion of the
more than 5000 sympathizers that at.
tended the picnic will become mem.
bers Of the party.

BERGER EFFORT
TO Get FEDERAL
ACTION REBUFFED
Davis Refers Gary Probe
to State Board
Especial to The Daily workerl

GARYg Ind, July 1.-THE Gary
workers investigating committee,
formed to place responsibility for the
explosion in the Illinois Steel Com
pany's by-products plant that resulted
in the death of IA workers on June IA,
has received word from Congressman
Victor L. Berger of Wisconsin that it
is practically impossible to get federal
action on the case. The committee
had asked Berger to demand federal
investigation of the disaster.
Berger's efforts in this direction and
their results are summarized in the
following telegram received by James
Garnett, secretary of the investigating
committee:
Berger's Telegram.
Secretary of Labor Davis informs
me that since the disaster was not one
resulting while transporting explosives
no federal action can be authorized.
He states that the labor department is
without authority to take any action
and that since the establishment in
question is within jurisdiction of the
workmens compensation law of In
diana 1t would be within the jurisdic-
ton of the industrial board of that
state to make a thoro investigation.
please let me know whether the
appeal has been made to that agency.
Would introduce resolution, but con-
gress will adjourn this week and such
action would not be taken seriously,
coming SO close to adjournment.
will help in some other way, if pos
sible. Victor L. Berger"
Committee Continues.
The committee will now endeavor to
get action from the state industrial
board and is appealing to all workers
in general and to the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and the Indiana State
Federation in particular, to assist it in
making a thoro exposure of the con-
ditions that led up to the death of the
workers on June IA.

they take office and to be resurrected
the following November to be used
once again for the same purpose-fool-
ing the workers and gathering up the
labor vote. Year in and year out, it
is the same story which the workers
must themselves ultimately stop.
Bowling to Tammany.
Some of the latest manifestations Of
this "kowtowing" to Tammany Hall
is the congratulating of Gov. Smith
on his recent message to the New
York state legislature and the admit
lance of Mayor Walker to honorary
membership in the International
Brotherhood of Stationary Firemen
and Oilers. Countless other examples
could be given but these two are
enough to show the attitude of the
local labor leaders.
Need for a Labor Party.
This kind of action on the part of
the New York City trades unions must
be stopped. The rank and file should
demand the cessation of support of
Tammany Hall and expecting favors
and privileges for few labor coun-
Gil leaders from the political party
that is supported by the bosses of
theseS same workers. These bosses
are the ones who furnish the money
to carry on the political campaign
of Tammany Hall and as such demand
and obtain its support for any anti
working class legislation and activity
that they deem necessary.
A labor party based upon the trade
unions which will include all working
class political parties and organiza-
lions who can agree on common
platform is the remedy for the situa-
ton sketched above.
Let all workers raise this issue at
their union meetings: No support of
Tammany Hall, and the formation of
a labor party in New York!
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-07-03

TN New York City at the present time
L we find part of the labor movement
being used as an instrument of Tam
many Hall.
The New York Central Trades and
Labor Council is primarily at the pre-
sent time nothing more than rubber
stamp which is being used to give a
labor character to all of the actions
of Tammany Hail. Its emissaries who
are delegates to and control that body
introduce motions and resolutions of
praise and support of Tammany which
are usually passed without any discus
sion whatsoever. In this way the
local democratic party is able to come
before the New York City toiling
masses and claim to be the party of
the workers, showing their indorse-
ment by the official and bona fide
labor movement" as their "bill of
health" and recommendation, which
means on the surface that Tammany
Hall is the party of the workers.
Democrats-Not the Party of the
Workers.
This is selling out to capitalism
with a vengeance! Tammany Hall,
which is synonymous with the lowest
and crookedest in politics, a party
of graft and corruption, is not and
never can be, the party of the work
ing class. AS a part of the democratic
party it is allied with the southern
democrats, most of whom do not even
today recognize that amendment to
the constitution which gave the Negro
the right to vote as anything more
than "a scrap of paper" to use the
phrase that made the former kaiser
of Germany famous. The democratic
party is an open enemy of the work
ers who can never expect anything
but betrayal from it. Under it's regime
700 furriers were arrested for picket
ing in the recent strike and Tammany
judges issued the infamous Interna-
tional Tailoring Co. injunction.
But what do we find? The John
Sullivans, James P. Goughlins, the
Abraham Lefkowitzes and the rest of
the tribe, go the entire length of SER
vile and mental servitude to the Tam
many Hall machine, congratulating
Gov. Smith and Mayor Walker on
practically every important speech
and action that they take irrespective
Of the fact that almost all of the cleo
ton promises to labor of these gentle
men are nothing but election prom

PAPCUN TRIAL
OPENS TAKING
OF TESTIMONY
Penna. Cossacks Testify
Against Union Miner

UNIONTOWN, Pa, July 1.-The
jury that is to try George Papcun un-
der the criminal syndicalist law of
Pennsylvania was completed this
morning and the state began TO pre-
sent its case against the young union
mine worker, the offense being based
on his attempt to organize coal min
ers into the United Mine Workers OF
America.
Of the eight veniremen examined,
the defense challenged two and the
state three, the three finally selected
being Mary Ralston, a housewife; L.
V. Lepty, ticket agent of the Balti
more and Ohio railway; and E. E.
Williams, a farmer.
Union Breaking Police on Stand.
District Attorney Brown opened the
case by reading the indictment. The
first three witnesses for the state
were all state troopers-the notorious
coal and iron police. These were
subjected to telling cross-examination
by the defense and their conflicting
testimony shown up.
The testimony by the prosecution
was directed to showing that Papcun
was active in the Republic miners
strike, trying to organize them into
the U. M. w. of A., urging the miners
to strike and fight for higher wages
Testimony Needs Corrections.
The first witness was State Police
Onko, who had to be recalled to the
witness stand several times to make
corrections" after conferences with
Assistant Prosecutor Newell.
The third witness was State
Trooper William ]. White, who ar
rested Papcun on January "a. White
created a sensation when he began tt
give testimony from previously pre-
pared notes. Defense counsel object
ed but was overruled by the judge.
Under cross-examination White wa!
compelled to admit that the major
part of his notes as to what Papcur
had said before arrest, were prepared
at police headquarters after Papcu1
was arrested. White commended tha
he had heard Papcun's speech, althc
he admitted that he was standing out
side the hall and the windows ant

SECRET MEET OF
SENATORS 0, ks
new RAIL BOARD
Anti-Labor Men Given
Committee Approval
picture of Carl Williams, Oklahoma
Editor, on page g.


WASHINGTON, July l. -CFP)-
All five Of President Coolidge's selec
tions to the railroad mediation board
which is soon to begin consideration OF
the wage increase demanded by the
train service brotherhoods were favor
ably reported by the senate committee
on interstate commerce, after a meet
ing June %. This meeting was held
behind closed doors.
In the room were Chairman Jim
Watson and Senators Cummins, Sack
EFT, Pittman, Bruce, Fernald, Pine and
Couzens. Sen. Howell arrived after
confirmation had been voted, and did
not know of it when the meeting broke
up. Senators Wheeler and Dill were
at the capitol but did not come to the
meeting.
Without A Fight.
Thus the four anti-labor men chosen
by the White House to deal with ma
tionwide wage movement have been
recommended to the senate for its
formal ratification, without a fight.
Development of serious opposition in
the senate itself is deemed unlikely.
Samuel Winslow of Massachusetts,,
former chairman of the house commit
tee on interstate and foreign COM
merce, will be chairman of the board,
with a five-year term. Former Gov.
Morrow of Kentucky, member of the
old railroad labor board, gets four
year term. Carl Williams of Oklahoma,
editor of farm paper, gets three
years; G.. Wallace Hanger of the Dis
tEict of Columbia, member of the rail
road labor board, gets two years, and
Hyvel Davies, former president of the
Kentucky Coal Operators Association,
gets one year.
In the same meeting Of the
senate committee action was taken on
the shipstead resolution calling for in
vestigation of the strike of locomotive
engineers and firemen on the Western
Maryland road. This is the coal road
whose dominant stakeholder is John
D. Rockefeller, Jr., and whose engine
crews struck when the company tried
to force them to sign yellow dog"
contracts last October. Hearings were
had on the resolution a month ago, at
which mayors, preachers and other
prominent citizens of towns along the
line demanded federal Intervention
against the company.
Officials Still Have Hopes.
The senate committee recommended
that the mediation board take up this
matter at an early date. Because OF
the committees action ON the West
ern Maryland case, opposition to con
flrming the members of the board is
still further diminished.
Many of the rail labor officials be
lieve that the senate committee has
indicated to the new board the policy
it will be expected to pursue-one Of
vetoing the refusal Of certain rail
executives to discuss grievances with
their organized employees.
