UNLAWFUL SEIZURE
Coast Guard Has No Right To Seize U. s. Vessel More Than 12 Miles Off Shore.

Boston, Mass, March 3l P)-The coast guard has no right to seize an American vessel moro than 12 miles of shore, Judge E. H. Brewster ruled in U. $. district court today. Coun- sel for Abel Doucette and Charles k. Bentley of Gloucester, whose rum laden motorboat was seized 20 miles off the north shore January 21, last, today raised the point that the seiz- ure was anlawfully made.
 Judge Brewster held that study of the statutes had failed to reveal any regulation giving revenue or coast guard officers the right to search and seize, except within the 9 mile limit provided for in the tariff act.
 The men have already been found guilty of bribery of a coast guard officer, Boatswain William J. Mag zoni who accepted S200 from the men and then arrested them. Sen. tences of year apiece were suspend ed and the men were released on bail when they carried the case 10 the circuit court of appeals.

Insists 3,75 Tonic Can in No Way Be Regarded as Beverage - Rochester Brewers Seeking Per- mits Now.

Washington, March 30 Pl-Sale of the new S.75 per cent beer tonic was defended today by Assitant Sec retary Andrews, in charge of pro- hibition, as practicable and reason able"
 Although issuance of a permit for the new preparation has been pro- nounced a mistake" by the Anti Saloon league and assailed as ille- gal by the father of the Folstead act, General Andrews declared in a public statement that the new pro- duct not only was entirely permissi- ble, but was of such a character that by no stretch of the imagination could it be regarded as beer.
 Solicitor Britt of the internal revenue bureau expressed the opin- ion today that states which wished to bar the malt tonic had a right to do so. It was asserted at the bureau, however, that grocery stores throughout the land were stocked with products containing more all cohol than the malt tonic would contain.
 It was held that these liquids, like the malt tonic, are unfit for beverage purposes and therefore come within the law.

ment that British employers would
import American and South African
Negroes for marine and transport
work in the present general strike was
met by a call from the American
Negro Labor Congress to the Negro
workers to abstain from scabbing on
the British workers.
This can was issued by Richard B.
Moore, secretary of the New York
Council of the American Negro Labor
Congress at 1877 University Place, who
said:
"The effort of the British capitalists
to import American and South African
Negroes to break the strike of the
transport workers is another instance
Of the pernicious policy of labor-grind-
ing employers to use Negroes as
pawns in their terrible game Of exploit
tation.
Negro workers should recall the
centuries of enslavement and suppress
sion which they have suffered at the
hands of these same imperialist op-
pressors and they should remember
particularly how they were used up
during the last war, being virtually
enslaved in labor battalions and driven
to perform the most loathsome tasks
then turned adrift to. starve and face
murderous attacks in Cardiff and Liv-
erpool, finally being forcibly deported
from the country which they had
served so signally.
"The only safe and proper course
for these workers, therefore, is to re-
fuse absolutely to be beguiled by any
such hypocritical and sinister appeals
and to stand solidly behind the strik-
ing workers of Great Britain who are
waging heroic struggle against the
proflt-gouging world oppressors who
crush the white workers at home and
trample upon and efslave the black,
brown and yellow colonial peoples
abroad"

BRITISH FLEET MOST

MOSCOW, May 70. = The British

"Fight Like DEVILS" issued today for
the benefit Of the British strike
fund.
1.-THE struggle Of the proIetarlat
for power Is a struggle for the pos
session Of a fleet" Trotsky added.
"The American boureeolsIe Will
have less desire to enter the struu-
gle if the English proletarIst seizes
all the fighting instruments. The en-
try Of the American fleet Into the
combat Is very possible and within
limits quite unavoidable.
1.-THE first result of the revolution
in England will be the destruction
Of discipline in all the navies Of the
world. Who knows but that under
such conditions, the American COM
handing staff will refuse to con-
slider bloekadlne England and will

There could be no better way Of bring

Wall Street magnates the lessons now

In the face of this Indictment to
mass violence against the British and

one thing our workers can do and
must do. Every honest workingman

Reaction to Sinister Mi

BY W. N. EVER.

Foreign Editor London Daily Herald.
(cable to Federated Press.)
LONDON, May 12.-The early part
Of the week shows definite signs of a
reaction within governing class circles
against the provocative, theatrical
folIIes which are generally ascrlbed to
churohlIl's hlstrlonIo Mussollnisn. Il
ls generally understood that all this
armored car business and all the
hysterlcal "saVe England from red
revolution" propaganda are Insplra-
tIons and celebrations of the hero Of
Sidney street and Antwerp.
Business Worried.
Schemes for smashing the unions
once and for all are very thrilling for
old ladies, undergraduates and the
weak-minded among the upper middle
classes, but saner business men are
beginning to reflect that there must
be relations with the workers when
the strike is over.
Presumably as the result of their
pressure, a dampening of government
propaganda is distinctly visible. Lord
Grey said over the radio that, of
course, if the strike is revolutionary
it must be crushed, but if it is in sup
port of the miners claims, then it was
due to a misunderstanding, and the
right course was to resume negotia-
lions.
Workers Front Solid.
The workers front remains most
solid. Great sympathy is being shown
In unexpected quarters. Open air
meetings in parts Of London inhabited
rather by the lower middle class than
the working class resulted in unpre-
cedented collections of money. Speak
ers returning from weekend tours all
over the country report most astonish-
ing demonstrations. The strike ap-
pears to have fired the Imagination Of
the working class as no other event
has for many generations. One feels
that the movement from this week on
has new inspiration, new energy and
has made new beginning which
means very much to the future.

illegality, they are united with the

CONVENTION OF
A. c. ". Hears
NASH SERMON
Resolve to Give 81 Per
Member to Strike
BY JACK TOMBSTONE.
Especial TO The Daily Worker)

MONTREAL, May ~. - The third
day Of the convention Of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers Of America
opened with the introduction of a res
olution on the British general strike
which carried unanimously.
The resolution was introduced by
General-Secretary Schlossberg for the
executive board. In his speech,
Schlossberg said: 'The British labor
movement is the oldest in the world
and has had experiences that every
one should study. The workers of
England have built up in our day a
great industrial and political power.
The present strike is the greatest
demonstration of class solidarity in
the worlds labor history"
The resolution read, Whereas, the
British labor movement has been
forced into the general strike in
which 1T is now engaged, and whereas
organized labor in England is fighting
to protect minimum standard of
living in the coal mines and other
industries.
Fight Lowered Standard.
Whereas, a lockout by the British
coal operators ended the patient eff
forts Of the labor movement to find
peaceful solution for the problems of
the coal industry while it was seek
ing to prevent lowering of its stand
ards attained thru many years of
struggle and sacrifice,
Therefore, the general executive
board proposes to the fourteenth bien-
nal convention of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America assemb-
led in Montreal that this convention
send it's greetings and hope for sue
cess to organized labor Of England
in its present momentous struggle and
that,
One Dollar a Member.
"This convention go on record as
recommending that each member of
the organization be asked to contrib
ute one dollar to a fund to assist
our fellow trade unionists in England
in combating efforts to reduce their
standards and that the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers Of America advance
Immediately to the British labor
movement the sum of S25000."
"Golden Rule" Nash.
Golden Rule. Nash was introduced
to the convention by President Sidney
Hillman who spent twenty minutes
praiging the Cincinnati manufacturer
Hillman said that the Nash agreement
was the result of four years negotia-
ton. He said he wanted to impress
the membership of the need of living
up to contracts and that the aim of
contracts was establishing the right
of citizenship and law in industry.
Nash spent an hour scratching alter
nately his own back and Hillman's.
He believes in the golden rule of
right, truth and justice" He tried
to save the church, he said, but finding
this impossible turned to Hillman. He
told about taking to manufacturers
association attempting to persuade
them to his christian methods. When
he finished a manufacturer arose to
make a motion to adopt his scheme
as the best method for breaking union
ism.
HiIIman "Second to Christ"
Nash referred to Hillman as "Your
great leader who stands second to the
great carpenter of Galilee." He denied
that he was an employer. He asked
to be admitted to membership in the

most careful and subtle campaign to

ever saw. Almost every speaker had
been carefully selected to fit his
speech in with the new kind of crush
ing policy of the administration
against the opposition forces. While
every speaker was given unlimited
time, employer Nash speaking one
hour, a worker, Ruvenko, representing
the Hyde Park Clothes Shop, Mon
treal, was given one minute. He was
a left winger and he pointed out that
the bosses, the state and the police
were united, and urged the solidifca-
