The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-07-02
BY WILLIAM E. dunno.

MOT so long ago the Macdonald
IN wing of the Labor Party and it's
adherents of the Thomas type in the
trade union congress had to be driven
by left pressure into struggle to pre-
vent the breaking off of relations with
the Soviet Union.
The Union of Socialist Soviet Re-
publics is ten times stronger today,
it has defeated the Tory government
of Great Britain in the diplomatic ex-
change which took place over the
question of aid to the general strike
from the Russian unions.
60. complete has been the defeat of
- the British foreign Office that in
its last note to the U. S. S. r. it
dared not make the charge that the
Soviet government had sent money
to aid the strike but says merely that
it
allowed the dispatch to Great
Britain of money for the purpose of
supporting the general strike.
The general council of the trades
union congress made the following
assertion as part of a public statement
issued in reply to the government;
The general council is not aware
of there being the slightest vestige
of evidence to support the allegation
that this money was sent either
directly or Indirectly from the re-
sources of the government of the
v. S. S. r.
THIS is all very well so far.
But the general conference of the
general council called for June 20, has
been postponed until sometime in
July. The officials of the miners
union have agreed to this postpone
ment.
The right and center groups state
that the postponement of the confer
ence, where the whole matter of the
calling off of the general strike was
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-07-02

poned the conference of the general
council, giving as an excuse the ne
cessity of uniting the labor movement
for a struggle against the breaking off
of relations with the Soviet Union.
THE Baldwin government dare not
repudiate the Anglo-Russan
treaty 1t has been forced to recede
from the position it took in regard
to the money received by the miners
from the Russian trade unions and all
it's anti-Soviet publicity is just so
much froth and fume. Not the trade
union leaders but the millions of Brit
ish workers, who once before forced
its leaders to act, prevent Great Brit
ain from an open breach with the
Soviet Union as preliminary to war.
No British government, with the ex::
port of coal, steel and textiles falling
daily, can exist if 1t breaks off trade
relations with the Soviet Union.
THE right and center of the labor
4 party and the trade union con-
gress know this.
Consequently they are flogging a
dead horse when they try to pose as
the champions Of the Soviet Union
against the Baldwin government.
1t is strange conception of interna-
tional solidarity which puts first the
defense of a government which has
withstood VIGOROUSLY the combined
assaults of world capitalism for nine
years, and which has succeeded in
stalling in its country system which
assures the working class and peas
antry an ever increasing standard Of
living while in all other European
countries the tendency is downward,
while the British miners are not even
assisted by the stoppage of foreign
coal.
WET this is the position taken by
i the official leaders of the British
labor movement. 1t is a false position,
miserable eleventh hour maneuver

COOK COUNTY PRISON
HEAD ADMITS DURKIN
BUYS BOOZE IN JAIL.

Martin J. Durkin, now on trial for
the murder Of the red-baiting fed
eral agent, Edwin c. Shanahan, It
was brought out In the course Of his
trial, has been procuring booze since
his trial started from his jalers in
Cook county Jail.
Captain George H. Weldellng,
when questioned by Judge Harry 3.
Miller as to the veraeity Of the
rumors that Durkin was able to
freely purchase booze while inear-
eerated In the jail, admitted that II
was true.
Weldellng blamed the presence Of
the booze in the Jail on one Of the
jail guards, whom he declared had
been arrested. II Is not known what
price Durkin paid his jaiers for this
privilege.

II defeated the Bal win government.
The coal miners AID the rest of the
British labor movement have not.
The coal miners are still on strike
and the chief task of the British labor
movement is to rally all its forces be-
hind the miners.
The Soviet Union is fairly well able
to take care of itself and for, that mat
ter it could get no better support than
the crushing defeat which the British
trades unions are able to administer
to the British government if
They get behind the miners and
fight.
THERE is great popular sympathy
for the Soviet Union in Great
Britain, especially AMONG the miners.
The rest of the trade unionists also
know that alone of de labor move
Uents of the world the Russian trade
unions gave the most generously, rap
idly and intellectually both to the
general strike and heshiners' strike.
The leaders who called off the gen.
eral strike before it had reached it's
maximum strength, who surrendered
to the government and left the miners
to fight on alone, who signed coward
ly and disgraceful admissions of
wrongdoing on the parl of the unions
at the demand of thb bosses, who
allowed thousands of trade unionists
to be victimized, the LEADERS, who were
frightened as much as Vie government

intended to give them more time to
organize to stem the storm of protest
which is ready to break about their
heads.
The Communist International has
pointed out the real character of this
pretended defense Of the Soviet Union.
Especially has it called the attention
of the British working class ito the
important task which it must under
take at once-complete exposure of
all the officials responsible for the
scuttling of the general strike, and
the mobilization of the trade union
movement in support of the miners.
