mems leaders, by their shameful agreement
with the railroad companies, spoiled the boycott
of coal transport The Amsterdam information
al and the Second International only talked
about help for the British workers and presently
they ceased doing so, even officially. The Com
munist International ardentIy appeals for sup
port of the great struggle of the British coal
miners whose victory or defeat is the victory or
defeat of all of the international proletarat.
Collections of funds must be increased All
transport workers of England and America
must stop by all possible means the conveyance
of coal via England. Not single piece of

aboard British ships. Now, if ever, is the mo-
ment to prove proletarian solidarity in all it's

According to information from Stockholm, A..
A. Purcell, who has been staying in Stockholm,
has obtained the consent of the presdium of
the Federation of Swedish Trade Unions to a
grant of considerable sum of money as loan
to the General Council of Trade Unions of
Great Britain for three-year term. The def
mite amount of the loan will be fixed after re-
ceipt of replies from the various trade unions.
Collections on behalf of the British miners are
proceeding successfully among the workers of
Sweden, 10000 krons having already been
transferred to the strikers. Purcell has also adj
dressed an appeal to the trade union declarations
of Germany Holland, Belgium, and Denmark,
asking them TO grant loans to the General

British Miners Federation, expressing deep
gratitude for the third transfer of 100000 in

English brothers. Secretary Dogadov of the
General Council of Trade Unions of the U. s.

MOsCICKI, pawn
OF PILSUDSKL.
new PRESIDENT
Polish Assembly Picks
Professor
Especial to The Daily workerl


WARSAW, June IA professor,
lgnatz Moscicki, was chosen president
of Poland today. He was elected to
succeed the dsposed president, VOL
cieehowskI. He is Marshal PiIsudski's
choice for the office. The vote in the
national assembly was 2s1 for Mos
cicki, 200 for shinskl, candidate Of the
right parties, and one vote for Marek,
a socialist deputy.
Pisudsk Declined.
The letter of Pilsudski. addressed
to the assembly declining the presi-
dency after heswas elected by a large
majority yesterday, has caused I'M
easiness in so-called democratic quar-
tiers. 1t is looked upon as an open at
tack on the constitution. Pilsudski
would not accept, he said, because the
present constitution does not enable
the president to dissolve parliament
and binds him with many restrictions
in the matter of controlling the gov
eminent.
However, there is nothing to in
dictate that Pilsudski intends to give
up the power he has achieved by arm
ed force, elections or no elections.
The mere fact that one of his own
followers was elected as chief execu-
tive makes Pilsudski's position strong
er now than before.
Armed Display.
Incidentally. he took all necessary
precautions to watch carefully the
proceedings Of the assembly. There
was an imposing display of troops in
the capital. Communications were
taken over by Pilsudski's soldiers.
In a word, the assemblymen were
taken over by Pilsudski's prisoners.
The Pilsudski move in the direction Of
dictatorship seems to be in no way
altered by the elections.

Saturday afternoon in canter's Audi
torium with 1877 delegates represents
ing more than 100000 workers, mostly
from the trades unions Of the eastern
states, with one delegate as far ws-t
as Detroit, Mich.
The session, which lasted from 2
o'clock in the afternoon till in the
evening, overaowed with enthusiasm
for the great strike that is now enter
ing its twentieth week and which has
grown from a local protest on the part
Of the mill workers into a mighty
movement that is now sweeping the
whole country, raising its slogan in
torrent of irresistible determination.
Organize the Unorganized"
In response to the call for relief
conference the workers of all shades
rallied and came to see what was real
ly on foot in the textile center that
has held the attention of the country
for five long months These delegates
did not come to a dull, empty hall,
dusty from non-use, but to big audi
torium already filled with live work
ers who had been there for an hour
before the opening of the conference,
singing their strike songs, shouting
their slogans. yelling their yells as
they have done for nineteen weeks in
their fight against the textile barons.
Cheer Delegates Names.
The delegates were lifted off their
feet as they crowded their way to the
front while the gallery and the big
body Of the hall were still resounding
with songs and cheers.
And as every delegations name was
read the storm of cheer burst out
one hundred and eighty-seven times
this vast crowd burst into cheer. For
behind these 1877 delegates were over
half million determined workers who
had sent their messengers to the seat
Of war to tell the fighting strikers that
they must go on till the strike is won
and that these 100000 would back
them up to the limit.
1t was a conference that meant bust
ness for the workers of America. It
was conference that went on record

TRIES TO Get
AN OPEN SHOP
Ironworkers' Strike Ties
Up Construction

Three thousand members Of the
Structural Iron Workers Union in the
Chicago district are on strike against
all work held by the Iron League, the
employers association, which has re-
fused to sign a contract granting a
small wage increase of from $13712 to
$3.50 cents an hour, with the right of
the union to withdraw men from work
on new jobs where contractors en-
ploy non-union workers who refuse to
join the union.
The strike ties up about GO per cent
of the iron work done in the district,
including the work on the Morton
building, the Palmer House addition
and the ornamental iron work on the
Stevens Hotel.
An open Shop Outfit.
The Iron League is notorious for its
open shop policy, when it can put it
across, and It is said in open shop
circles that the Iron League hopes to
break the union by breaking the
strike. 1t is particularly anxious TO
knock out the clause against union
men working with non-union men,
knowing that by this means 1t can
gradually undermine the union.
The union plasterers of Local 5, az
ter three weeks or so Of strike for the
demand Of a raise from S12 to S14 a
day in the contract have surprised
everybody by suddenly accepting a
compromise of $13 at Saturdays con-
ference with the employers. More
over, the employers state that there is
no clause against the union men work
ing with nonunion workers. The
clause was made somewhat famous as

Trades Council, but is included or not
