greet the many millions of the people
OF China who have taken up the
struggle for the freedom of China
from. the yoke Of imperialism and
who thru the bloody sacrifices which
they have made, have won the right
to free development and existence.
To our party fell the historic role
OF honor to lead the first victorious
proletarian revolution In the world
upon the territory Of the one-tlme
czarIst empire, the buIwark Of the
world reaction. We are proud that
we have destroyed this buIwark and
In the Soviet Union have built up
the bulwark Of the movements Of
the oppressed and exploited In the
world for freedom. We are con-
WINGED that the kuomintana Party
will be successful In playing the
same role In the East and In this
way destroying the basis of Inn
perialist dominance in Asia. This
task, we are convinced, can only be
performed with success, II the kuo.
mlntang eonsoIdates the alliance Of
the working class and the peasantry
Of China In the present struggle
and " the kuomintang continues to
lead the revolution In the Interests
Of these basic forces. And when the
kuomintang at the same time sup
ports all opposltional movements
directed against the yoke Of world
capitalism and for the mental and
economic freedom Of the tolIina
masses.

strange all progressive tenden-
cies in the labor movement"
Debs' telegram came in response to
a request from the secretary Of the !.
L. D. for an Expression Of opinion from
prominent radicals and proeressives
turnout the country on the acqulttal.
Of Richard (EIlackle) Ford, member Of
the Industrial Workers of the World,
on the charge OF having murdered a
deputy sheriff in the Wheatland hop
riots over twelve years ago.
Ford Served 70 Years.
Ford had served twelve years i'm!
prisonment for the alleged murder of
District Prosecutor MAXWELL, whose
death took place during the same
riot, when he was re-arrested.
1t was a clear frame-up and the
opposition Of the labor movement
headed by The International Labor
Defense and the General Defense Com
mittee, flooded the state of California
with information giving the facts of
the trouble which ended in the death
Of four persons. two OF them employees
of them employees Of the burst
Brothers who owned the ranch where
the fatal shooting occurred.
The conviction OF Ford and his COM
rade Suhr over twelve years ago was
accomplished BY the usual methods
employed by the capitalist class when
they are determined to get rid Of
dangerous enemies. That the tide is
beginning to turn and that the time is
ripe for a determined campaign to
release all class war prisoners in
California and other states and to
wipe from the statute books all traces
o fanti-syndicalis and anti-sedition
laws is the concensus of opinion of
those canvessed by the International
Labor Defees

IOWA ELECTION
FIGHT NEARS END
IN j. s. SENATE
lspecIaI 70 rhe Daily workerl

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2s-Argu-
ments were concluded today before
the senate privileges and elections
committee on the Brookhart-Steck
senate election contest in Iowa II was
announced a report would be drafted
"at the earliest feasible time"
The committee must decide on the
legality OF approximately 5000 con-
tested ballots. Thru agreements by
opposing counsel, the issue has been
reduced TO these ballots, all of which
bear various marks considered in
violation OF the Iowa election laws.
Steck now holds a lead on uncon.
tested ballots but II Brookhart's con.
fentions are supported by the com.
nittee he would have a majority Of
votes.

tlaborite voting against it.
Wheeler, the democratic running
mate of LaFollette in the 1924 presi-
Dental campaign voted for Morgan's
proposal, while Jim Watson of Indi-
ana, voted against it because he is
running for reelection this fall and
learned that the petty lbourgeoisie of
his state, for the most part organized
in the ku klux khan, were opposed to
it and might support Albert j. Bev-
eridge against him, thereby accomp-
fishing his defeat.
Mckinley straddles the Issue.
William B. Mckinley, the Cham
paign, Illinois, traction magnate, who
is also up for reelection and who is
opposed by Frank L. Smith of Dwight,
who has the powerful backing of the
International Harvester trust and the
Chicago Tribune, tried to evade the
issue by supporting the reservations
introduced by Senator Moses of New
Hampshire to the effect that the
United States should not be involved
in any wars to carry out the court de-
cisions and that other nations must
accept these reservations before the
entry of this government.
This last reservation was defeated
with Mckinley voting for it in last
minute eoort to create an issue on
which he could face the voters of the
state Of Illinois in the coming election.
Both Mckinley and Watson are stall
wart supporters Of Coolidge and his
gang in the senate, but the machine
permitted them to digress from the
policy sufficient to enable them TO have
campaign issues so they may be re-
turned, thereby hoping to maintain the
administration strength next session Of
congress.
Both Claim Victory.
Tht adherents Of the world court
claim great victory, and rightly so,
while the opponents indulge in hair
splitting generalities and claim the in
sipid reservations adopted for the pur-
pose of home consumption constitute
victory for them.
That this claim is without founda.

Lewis Offer
Insist on a No-Strike
Agreement


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 2e-At
the conference of officials Of the Unit
ed Mine Workers and the anthracite
operators held here, John L. Lewis,
president of the union offered another
compromise of the miners demands
which the operators re elected.
Want No-strike Clause.
The new proposition provided for a
two-year contract at the old wage
scale as a basis for continued nego-
tiations. The operators rejected this
because at contains no protection for
the industry, no means for preventing
deadlocks, no assurance against
strikes"
In other words the operators are
holding out for the complete Gripping
of the miners union thru a no-strike
clause in the agreement, as a begin
ming of the smashing of the union.
They see that Lewis will not call a
hundred per cent strike by the with
drawal OF the maintenance men and
are taking advantage of this refusal
Oh Lewis TO really light them tosf0rce
the acceptance of contract favor
able to themselves and disastrous for
the miners.
Violates Miners Demands.
This latest proposition by Lewis is
clear violation of the demands of
the miners formulated at the Tri-dis-
trict convention which demanded a
ten per cent wage raise and the
checkoff.
The hard-boiled attitude of the op-
orators in insisting on the acceptance
of their terms for the settlement of
the strike is increasing the demands
of the miners for a real struggle by
the calling out of the maintenance
men.

"a gathering to deal with the
present farm crisis.
CONSERVATION was thrown into their
ranks by the formal news from Wash
ington that the federal farm loan
board had directed an annual 20 per
cent depreciation to be charged off the
real estate acquired by the federal
joint banks thru foreclosures.
With an annual depreciation of 20
per cent the holders of mortgages will
be forced to throw upon the market
tens of thousands of small farms, be-
cause the value would sink to zero in
period of a few years, according to
the middle class elements among the
farmers here.
Move Is Viewed With Alarm.
The business men from the towns
and villages view with alarm this
move as it means an exodus of many
thousands fram the farms, the tear
ing down Of fences and the application
of heavy machinery to agriculture.
The small bankers are panic stricken
and have ordered their clerks thruout
all the eleven states represented here
to unload farm foreclosures as quick
ly as possible. For them it means
they become more than ever agents
Of the big bankers and industrialists.
Stuns Meeting.
The notice was contained in a letter
signed by o. F. Schee of Des Moines,
vice-president of the Chicago Joint
Stock-Land Bank to banks in the
Chicago district which was made
public by L. A. Andrew, state banking
commissioner of Iowa, after reading
Of it had stunned a meeting of the
joint executive committee Of the corn
belt federated committee.
Today leaders of the conference
were loudly crying against what they
declared was new example of the
crime Of debating the farmer" which
they blame for all the farmers troubles

THE senate jammsd the United
L States into the world court. The
international financiers are happy and
the nondescript interests represented
by Borah, Reed and company are tear
ing their hair, grinding their teeth and
calling on the shade of Washington to
save them from those entangling
alliances which he Numbered against
But considerable water has flowed I'M
der the social bridge since Washing
ton passed away and it is not unlikely
that George, were he alive today and
in the White House instead of Calvin
would echo the pleas of the interna-
tional bankers to come across and pro-
tect their foreign loans.
IBID you notice that William Ran
~ dolph Hearst's pet senator, DR..
Copeland of New York voted for the
court? And the champion fire-eater of
Montana, the darling of the pacifists
and liberals, Burton X. Wheeler?
Those progressives and liberals are a
fine lot of sham protestants. Under
the ig-leaf of world peace those play
boys march to the roll call to vote

puff of opposition. Fascism is a pro-
duct of a certain stage of capitalist
decline, when bourgeois democracy
has shot its last bolt and the sham
freedom Of the parliamentary SYSTEM
gives way to open dictatorship. ThiS
is the period thru which capitalism is
passing now and wherever the decay
has reached the point where capitalist
rule is endangered, the bourgeoisie
have no hesitation in pitching their
democratic pretensions to the winds
and bringing out the mailed glove.
THE workers are slow to understand
4 this fact. Most of them are still
worshipping the fetish of democracy.
The capitalists have no such illusions.
The socialists lift the hens of their
virtuous skirts and chirp in falsetto
tones that the workers must NOT. be
