Notorious Fink Speaks
to Legion in Erie, Pa.
ey a Worker Correspondent

ERIE, Pa, April 26.-The notorious
Harold Lord varney, labor spy and
traitor, is touring the state OF Penn
sylvania, speaking under the auspices
Of the Constitutional Educational
League of Pennsylvania" Speaking
recently in Erie, he attacked the Com
munists and called on the American
Legion to 1be vigilant at all times IN
repelling red agitation. Altho the reds
may seem few and insignificant, they
are a source of political virus which
is poisoning great masses OF our
people"
After the speech, American legion
naires were sworn in as deputy
sheriffs. Each legionnaire signed a
disagreement to purchase arms.
Sheriff sterrett declared that he con-
templated issuing an emergency call
some time next months to see how fast
the men can be modified" Each
member Of the battalion is expected to
keen his firearms handy in case the
sheriff should issue a call for mobiliza-
tion against the exploited workers.

STRIKING AUTO
BODY WORKERS
ARE DEFEATED
Cleveland Strikers Go
Back to Work
ey q Worker commencement

CLEVELAND. Ohio, April 26. - The
strike in the Fisher Body plant is
over. The 500 strikers have gone back
and accepted the 10 per cent wage-cut.
The reason for the defeat was the
lack Of organization among the men
and their inability to draw the rest
of the plant out with them. Those
on strike were chiefly the trimmers.
Other trades in the plant did not give
them the support they required.
Upholsterers' Union Lax.
The men had held strike meetings
in the Cleveland Federation OF Labor
hall. Oficials of the c. r. of L. spoke
at their strike meetings and began
lining them up in the upholsterers'
union. 1al~G
This union did not take sufficient
interest in the strike and the oppor-
tunities for organization offered by
it. sFt-
A report has it that the business
agent Of the upholsterers' union did
not show up until the last strike meet
ing and then only to collect dues from
those who had lined up.
Lesson Learned.
However, the men in the Fisher
Body works have learned their lesson.
When the strike was called, the COM
pany procured strike-breakers and
shifted men from other floors to do
the trimmers' work.
The men go back defeated but far
from satisfied and determined to pre-
pare for action at a better time and
with profit from the bitter lesson
learned.

stretching out toward our locality.
These are the electric conduits which
are for the first time bringing the
glimmer of new life, of free life, into
our peasant huts, hitherto wrapped in
darkness. We also have Soviet farms
in which the best breeds Of horses and
cows are maintained and thru them
we peasants improve our cattle.
l will tell you little about our
youth: The peasant youth is no longer
what it used to be a few years ago;
in our village we have a Young Com
munist nucleus with a membership of
30 lads and girls who are learning and
endeavoring to be models for the en-
tire remaining youth. Now in winter
time in our clubs (village reading
rooms) on Sundays instead of going
to the church as they used to do, they
come to the club and perfom plays
especially got up for the peasants. We
have our own Russian made cinema
apparatus which our peasants them
selves take on their horses together
with our young Communist comrades
to the various villages and arrange
performances Of our best Soviet films
All the peasants from young to old
come to see these shows. We also
keep up-to-date with the life OF our
far-off center Red Moscow. We have
our radio set with loud speaker for
$50 people. On the winter evenings
to the accompaniment of wind and
snow our peasants listen to the far-off
Red capital, hear the speeches of our
leaders and songs and recitations of
our artists. The peasants with their
own hands put up high masts for an
tenna on the premises Of the former
landowners church and instead of the
village church we have a light and
clean club for the recreation of the
youth.
We peasants are greatly interested
in how you live and work. Establish
written communication with us, write
about your working conditions and
what you are now undertaking in
order to improve your position and
your agriculture. AS the question of
improving our agriculture is what in
terests us most, let us have an ac-
count Of your experience in how you
conduct agriculture.
Write about everything, we will be
overjoyed to hear from you. Write
soon. ~

A'A The toilers of the U. S. S. r. are

gle Of the German workers against

1t is evident that the gracious own

they have shed their blood and which

Painters 637 Gives $50
to Passaic Strike and
Scores Police Terror

Local No. 637 Of the Painters I'm
ion showed a great interest in the
Passaic textile strike at its last meet
ing. A long discussion took place and
many protests against the police ter
rorism there and the use Of thugs was
voiced fro mthe floor.
The local, however, did not confine
itself to talking. 1t voted $4,000 out
of its treasury to be sent to Passaic to
help the strikers.

visional government to allow him to
settle there with his family and tend
the flowers.
It is not the fault Of the provisional
that the Soviet of Work
ers and Soldiers Deputies understood
the whole danger Of creating a new
rallying point for the White Guards
and succeeded in sending the cars
family to place much less dangerous
for the revolution. The provisional
IN which our mensheviks
and S. RS collaborated during the
whole period Of their rule form Feb
ruary to October, not only did not
have the courage 10 take away the
estates from the camarilla OF the
grand dukes, but did not even deprive
them of petty conveniences-au
mobiles, etc.
ONLY the proletariat together with
~ the state decisively took the riches
OF the czars and dukes families and
the capitalist industry into their own
hands. The Russian proletariat was
victorious because under the guidance
of their leader and their party they
courageously threw OFF all those who
were obstacles in their path and
clearly recognized their enemy.
The German workers will attain
victory by the same path and then no
ruling prince will dare to demand his
riches from the victorious people.

What The Russian Workers Did With the CzarSt Palaces

once belonged to the car and his rel
atives. Wonderful parks, vineyards,
extensive placesa. which not one
worker or peasant dared even to come
near, were closed 10 months Of the
year, to house some grand dukes fam
lily for two or three months.
THE palace of Nfcolai II on the Ii
i vadia estate situated in beautiful
park surrounded by vineyards, was
guarded particularly strictly. Work
ers proceeding there to work and on
the way back were always accom-
panied by conveys, and now by the
will OF the October Revolution all
these palaces have ben handed over to
the workers and peasants. The

ands Of toilers recuperate. All pal
aces and villas are fitted out as sani-
tariums and the red flag Of the revolu-
ton is flying over the Livadia palace
just as It Is over the other palaces.
Livadia is now a peasant sanitarium
where $50 peasants are undergoing
treatment. They are sent there from
the most distant and out OF the way
corners of the Soviet country, so that
they can see light and sunshine after
long years Of heavy labor and dark

FREES FASCISTI;
JAILS WORKERS
New Regime Raids Many
Union Headquarters
Especial to The DAILY workerl


SOFIA, Bulgarian, q. r. A. April 2e
The Bulgarian bourgeosle is trying
to explain the going out Of Office Of
zankoff and the entrance of the Liapt-
seheff government as a change Of the
entire government and blood regime.
No Change of Regime.
But thru the new Ljaptscheff gov
eminent no change Of regime has
taken place It is merely change
OF persons--of actors who will act the
same play.
Liaptscheff promised a large and
real amnesty. The amnesty has not
opened the prison doors for thousands
of victims Of the fascist or set free
hundreds Of political prisoners con-
demned to death or given thousands
of emigrants a possibility to return
home. The purpose of the amnesty
was to throw sand in the eyes Of the
masses so that they might not recog-
nize the true character Of the new
government.
Another purpose Of the amnesty was
to free those who are guilty of mas
sacreing and terrorizing workers.
This was to make them more faithful
to the government because Of this IA
vor. The Ljaptschef government
realizes that they may be needed in
the next struggle against the workers
and peasants.
Amnesty Butchers Of Workers.
The amnesty will be granted first Of
all to officers, government agents and
capitalists, who robbed the state dur
ing the war while workers died in the
trenches and starved at home. They
will not only be amnestied but they
will get back their stolen property
which was conflscated when they were
sentenced. All officials who took part
in the massacres Of the peasatns and
workers during the period of June.
1925, until the end of December. 1925,
will be released.
The amnesty will, to a very limited
extent, include some workers who are
in Jail or who escaped the sword Of
the executioner by taking flight They
are only amnestied under the condi-
ton that they will not express their
political opinions during the next
three years.
So that is the amnesty which is to
bring peace to the country. The few
workers and peasants that are left
free are continuously under the OBJ
servation of the authorities and
threats OF the agents. There exist
already cases Of a repeated imprison-
ment of those who are set free, and
cases of terror against emigrants who
wanted to emigrate a second time
but were held back at the frontier and
executed.
The communal elections in the vii
lagos and towns which took place re-
Gently also show true character of the
Ljaptcheff government.
/ Workers meetings are dissolved
Their papers confscated. Sellers Of
the trade union organs are being ar
rested and brutally beaten. Legal pa
/ pers Of the labor movement are being
confscated. AL this is happening tho
the minister, Ljaptscheff. has made
declarations for freedom" protection
OF the constitutional rights of the citi-
zens, etc.
A Tool Of Faseism.
The Ljaptsheff government is a tool
OF the military league of the fascist
organizations and of the organization
'Kubrat," the president Of which is
the present minister of justice.

to a country where the sun is always
shining and where they promise to
cure him OF his old ailments. The
peasant, such a small insignificant
toiler, who has spent his whole life
on his little strip Of land, cannot cas-
lily believe that somewhere far off in
the Soviet capital the supreme gov
eminent is thinking Of him and send
ing him to the sanitarium. But he
arrives and is amazed at everything
the wonderful beauty of nature, the
wealth and luxury in which the czars
lived and the sanitarium in general:
baths, white linen, careful medical
treatment.
The peasant not only cures HIS all
ments here, but with his entire con-
scious being is imbued with a compre-
hension of the revolution that has en-
abled him to come here TO be cured.
The peasants In these health spas
seriously study agricultural science
under the guidance OF agronomists;
they learn to read and write, listen TO
sanitary educational lecturers, and are
soon recuperated doctors remark
that the peasants recuperate much
quicker than workers.. After two or
three months they return to their vii
lage healthy and literally propaganda
lists of culture, cleanliness and new
life.

May DAY is BIC
DAY FOR A. c. ".
RANK and file
Their Worry Is Wage
Change on May LIST
r, KATE, Worker Correspondent.


The first day OF May is a day Of
significance to the whole working
class. 1t is the day when the workers
all over the world express their soil
darity and sound warning to the
capitalists that the time will come
when they the workers, will take over
the industries and run them in their
own interest. But Of special interest
is the day to the members of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers IN
Chicago. For on this day every year
we are informed what our wages VIII
be for the coming year, whether we
will get an increase in wages or oe-
crease.
The arguments between the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers in Chicago
and the employers are usually signed
for three years, with the provision
that each year either side can make
application for change in wages. II
neither side can agree on these
changes this question goes to the
hoard of arbitration for final decision,
with the members having no say.
These changes, if decided upon go
into effect on the first Of May.
"ReadIustments.
In the last few years the employers
made good use Of this clause in the
agreement to reduce the wages OF
the workers at every opportunity.
Last year, although President Hillman
boosted at the mass meeting on the
first of May in Ashland Auditorium
that there would be no wage reduc-
ton, yet the workers in Chicago re-
ceived cuts in wages in the form OF
establishments, etc, that amounted IN
some shops to as high as 20 per cent
The excuses given to us for these
reduction were "the times are bad,
the manufacturers are doing little
business" there is a crisis in the
mems clothing industry" etc. Ana
therefore we must accept reductions
to keep the bosses from going out OF
business.
Wage Demand.
But for the last months there was
somewhat of a prosperity period IN
the mems clothing industry. Not only
was this prosperity felt in chicago
hut from every important clothing
market, such as New York, Rochester
Cincinnati and other places, there
came reports of plenty Of work. II
was therefore very natural that the
workers in Chicago felt that this was
the opportune time to regain some OF
the losses of recent years. So they
started to demand at the local meet
ings that the joint board serve notice
on the employers demanding at least
a Is per cent increase in wages, to
take effect on the first of May.
Insurance Screen.
But instead Of taking up this JUS
titled demand of the workers for an
increase in wages Of 10 per cent, our
officials have found it much easier to
create a smoke screen by demanding
an increase Of III per cent on un-
employment Insurance." boosting thds
increase as something very important
to sidetrack the issue Of an increase
in wages.
And so on the first Of May, 1926
President Hillman or some other OF
fetal OF our union will again address
the Amalgamated members in Ash
land Auditorium, talking to them
about great victories and about soil
darity of the workers thruout the
world While at the same he will
continue to neglect the workers de-
mands.
