CONVENTION ON
IN PITTSBURGH
Left Wing Attacked in
First Session
BY ANDREW OVERHEARD
Especial TO The DaiI~ Workar)

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April z - An
attack upon the left wing and pro-
gressives in the Amalqamated Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers Union marked
the opening session of the unions
ffty-first annual convention.
The officials Of the union seemed to
think this every bit as much a ne
cessary part Of the procedure as the
opening prayer and blessing conduct
ed by Ben |. Davis, managing editor
Of the Unions Journal.
The convention was formally omen.
ed by Mike Tighe, president of the
organization, and the address Of well
come to the delegates was extended
by Mr.. p. J. McArdle, former presi-
dent of the union and now lawyer and
councilman in the steel corporation
city of Pittsburgh.
A Tribute.
The main business in the morning
session consisted in passing a resolu-
ton of tribute to Mr.. McNutt. for.
mer member Of the union who recent
ly died, despite the fact he had been
working for the Western Bar Manu-
facturers' Association for the past
twenty-five years. The policy seems
to be that Of forgetting working class
fighters and paying tribute only to
those who have been using the or
ganization as a stepping stone for
their own personal advancement.
Invited Davis.
A letter was received from the
secretary of labor. Davis, regretting
that he could not address the conven-
ton due to illness. Mr.. Davis. the
lstrike-breaking member of the Coo
lidge cabinet, who is the spokesman
for the various registration and finger
printing bills aimed at the foreign.
born workers employed in the steel
industry and other industries was in
vited by Mike Tighe to speak before
the convention. 1t seems TO be proof
enuf that Mike Tighe can no longer
represent the interests of the steel
workers in this country when he ex-
tends official invitation to the great
est enemy of the foreign-born workers
who constitute the majority Of the
workers within the steel industry,
Officers Reports.
The afternoon session was devoted
until closing time to the officers re-
ports and will be continued for at
least a couple of days. Mike Tighe
in his report is following the same
procedure as other international Off
GERS have done in reporting to A. F.
Of L. conventions, making the usual
attacks against Communism, Soviet
ism, etc. and proving to the masters
how anxious they are to carry out the
official DISQUALIFICATION policy.

using gangsters in this strike. Ben
Gold, strike leader, says, This
charge is simply smoke screen
thrown up by the manufacturers as
sociation to hide their own actions.
"The grand jury will find, IL they
investigate, that II any gangsters
have been used Il is the manufac.
turers who have used them. They
will find number of instances where
the police have arrested gangsters
and they were found to be hired by
the employers. But there is not a
single instance where the gangsters
were employed by the union"

NEW YORK, April p On SUM-

Otto Huiswood, organizer Of Negro
workers and of the American Negro
Labor Congress, will speak on "The
Negro and the Labor Movement" at
The Bronx Workers Forum, 1347
Boston Road, near 169th street.
The Negro problem is a very vital
one for the entire American labor
movement, not only for the Negroes
themselves. The great majority Of
tn 100000 Negroes in the United
States are exploited tenant farmers,
agricultural workers, and industrial
workers. Their salvation lies In the
general labor movement, not in any
utopian Zionist dream of "Baek to
Africa"
Racial equality will follow eco.

must be drawn into the trade unions
and into the movement of the work.

ton. The American Negro Labor
Congress is one step toward this
unity. Both Negro and white work.

probIem-the Negro worker.

LIMA, Peru, April Accommodation
Of all construction contracts between
the Peruvian government and the
Foundation company of New York, is
now being demanded by the workers
and peasants in the face of President
leguia's attempt to draft them into
the unrequited employ of the COM
pany. This will surely be one Of the
demands of the Lima general strike if
it is called.
Anti-ImperisIIst Feeling Spreads.
Significant of the spread of anti
imperialist feeling, is the fact that
the students are supporting all the
demands Of the workers and peasants,
SO that united anti-imperialist front
is being created in opposition to the
so-called bodybuilding CONSUMPTION
law. This united front includes all
classes not directly corrupted by inn
perialism. The Peruvian students
were formerly the leaders of the move
ment against Wall Street domination,
but their organization was dealt a
series Of severe blows when Leguia
arrested many of the students and
exiled their leading spirit, Victor
Haya de la Tore, from the country.
AS result Of mass deportation Of
student leaders, it was possible to
confuse certain sections Of the stu
dents for time by raising the tawdry
banner of patriotism" and anti
Chilean sentiment in the Tacna-Arfca
affair. On the pretense of appeal
against Chile, President Leguia turned
the whole settlement of the Tacna-
africa matter over to American i'm
perialism. President Coolidge became
"arbiter' and the first act began in the
farce of the plebiscite that never was
TO be held. General Lassiter now runs
things in the province of Tacna and
africa, and President Leguia's "patri-
otism" is now exposed as downright
betrayal to Imperialism.
Bride President Lequa.
Meantime bribing the tyrant Leguia
with stockholdings in the Foundation
company and other Wall Street con-
Germs, American imperialism fastened
its hold more and more securely on
the territory of Peru itself. Peruvian
loans, formerly fioated in London,
were now floated exclusively in New
York. An American financial "ad-
visor" took up his residence in Lima,
as well as American customs inspec-
tors. An American naval mission paid
visit-and helped fan the flames of
patriotism" against Chile, in the
interests of Wall Street and Leguia.
Peru sunk to the position of semi |
colony of the United States, which |
is the position she occupies now.
While the hypocrits of the United
States government took lofty tone in |
criticizing the imperialist policies of !

English Religious Crank

Especial to The Daily worker)


ROME, April ? - Premier Musso-
lini was shot at today just as he left
the International Congress of Sur.
geons where he had delivered an adj.
dress. He was just about to step into
his auto when woman fired at him,
missing his forehead but striking the
end of his nose.
The assailant was Immediately
taken in charge. She has been identi-
fed as Miss Violet Gibson, a sister of
Lord Ashbourne of England. She is
so years of age and well-known in
England and Ireland as a religious
fanatic.> A year ago she tried to com
nit suicide in Rome by shooting her.
self while in a religious fervor.
Owing to the recent long continued
ill-health of the premier, there is a
conviction that the consequences Of
the wound may be more serious than
would normally be the case. 1t will
doubtless interfere with his plans for
a grand triumphal sea voyage, escort
ed by fleet of Italian warships, to
the Italian possession Of Tripoli.
Clap on Censorship.
LONDON. April z - A censorship
heavier than usual has been imposed
on all news coming from Italy since
the first reports of the wounding Of
Mussolini. 1t d reported that grea'
gangs of fascistykoodlums are parad-
ing the streets pf Rome. One crowd
Of them has 4feeady attacked the
printing plant n II Monde, one of
the opposition iIVpers, and wrecked
the building. Personal violence is
threatened to headers Of the anti
fascist groups.
Harder to oAct Napoleon.
The premier's injury is reported on
more thoro examination not to be
serious tho it istvery painful and most
embarrassing. The bullet pierced both
nostrils and grazed the cheek.
Friend of King George.
Miss Gibson, the assailant, has been
a resident of Italy at various times.
She was so close a personal friend of
King George that he sent his private
physician to attend her last year when
she tried to commit suicide. Friends
of hers in London are inclined to
believe that her anger over the die
tator's attitude towards the vatican
and the recent differences between the
fascist party and Cardinal Gasparri,
the official director of papal foreign
policy, may have aroused her catholic
emotionalism to commit the act.
