MORE ME- EMBERS OF
DAILY WORKER TO
APPEAR IN COURT
Federal Grand Jury to
Quiz Workers Today

Several more members of the edi-
torial, business and mechanical de-
partments of The DAILY WORKER
will appear before the Federal Grand
Jury in the old Post Office Building
this morning.
Last thursday and Friday II peo-
pie connected wlth the paper were
called to the Federal Court and were
questioned at gre;t. length as to the
ADMINISTRATION Of the Communist
daily organ.
To Prosecute Paper.
The attack upon the The DAILY
WORKER is being conducted by AS
sistant Attorney General George z.
Leisure, who is assisted by Herman
Forster, another assistant attorney
general. The September panel of
the grand jury that is hearing the
evidence which undoubtedly will be
used for further prosecution of this
paper consists in the main of busi-
ness men who are interested in the
preservation of the status quo
The present Investigation is con-
tinuation of the case started against
"the daily" several months ago when
the editors and business manager
were indicted fpr the publication Of
the poem America"
According to many well-informcd
sources, the present attack on The
DAILY WORKER is a result of the
determined struggle it conducted for
the liberation of Sacco and Vanzetti.
This resulted in a substantial in
crease in the circulation of the paper.
With The DAILY WORKER
brought before the Federal courts, it
is necessary for all of its supporters
to help it. financially to the utmost.
Thousands of dollars are needed at
once so the paper can be saved as
a leading weapon in the working
class struggle in this country.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Sept. L.
The one-day work week has persisted
throughout the summer in the Shan
andoah anthracite region, thinning
pay envelopes, putting miners ,on
hardtime diets. Old settlers scratch
gray skulls for recollection of any,
thing like it, and since those early,
far-off days no similar occasion can
be recalled, when demand for hard
coal slumped so suddenly and def
initelv, cutting worktime to one day a
week.
Payrolls Thin.
PAYDAY has, for the time being,
lost its crimson reputation. While
electric pianos crash and bang in
saloons, and fiddlers trot from bar
room to bar-room in search of an
audience the vigor and glow of the
golden age is vanished. Inflated
sports walk with collapsed air, limit
their drinks, and find their way to
bed unusually early.
Over the entire anthracite region
the gloom of slack time hangs heavily.
Streets are crowded with passing peo-
pie, while business men complain of
scant trade. Saloon-keepers stand at
their doors, with folded arms, await
ing customers. ambling is confined
to lucky pool sharks, and business
men who still have loose cash. Other
wise everyone recognizes the times as
tough, and satisfies his appetite on
bread and coffee--the miners staple
on idle days.
Mines Falling to Pieces,
Frequent layoffs have reduced the
mining force to such bare numbers
that gangways are falling, slopes are
unsafe, and production sinking. Men
cannot reach their point Of
work because of closed gangways
where weak timber can no longer up
hold the weight of rock. Unsafe gang
ways holdup motors, pulling out trips
of loaded cars.
The company, instead of hiring
men to put up timber, insists that the
miners put up timber after their
shifts are over. Contract miners,
after making coal' in the daytime,
work few hours in the evening put
ting up timber in dangerous gang
ways and slopes.
The -union has stepped into this,
picture, forbidding any man to work
longer than his regular sEift without
written permission from the com
mittee men of his colliery. Working
double Shifts" while hundreds of
miners walk the streets in search of
work, is contrary to the policy of the
United Mine Workers, and, where re-
ported. has been abolished. Contract

Revolution i'm South

MOSCOW, Aug. CONTRARY to
avowedly biased reports concerning
the disintegration of the armies of
generals Ho-lung and Yeh-ting which
revolted against the Wuhan govern
ment, these armies, according to Of
ficial information. have entered
Kwantung province and ever larger
peasant detachments are joining them
as they move southwards. APP
parently in direct connection with this
Kwantung expedition, an insurrec-
tional m m mt is growing in

Revolution Grows.
Commenting on this news, Pravda
points out that despite the betrayal
of the leaders of the Kuomintang and
the fierce terror of Chang Kai-shek's
successors, the revolutionary move
ment in the south is growing.
To the armies of Ho-lung and Yeh-
ting, who is a Communist, whose for
ces numbered 10000 on their way to-
wards Canton, considerable number
of irregular troops have been added
which, according to information in the
English press, brings the total up to
$4,000. The whole area which the
revolutionary armies crossed is under
revolutionary sway and under Com
munist direction.
The Chinese counter-revolution-
aries who originally looked down
upon the nr4rch Of the revolutionary
armies are now seriously anxious and
are hastily gathering their forces.
In spite of all difficulties and the
betrayals Of the generals the Chinese
Revolution is marching forwards and
mastering its forces.

HOOVER SOOTHEs
SOUTH while u. S.
STOPS FLOOD AID
Levees Remain Broken;
Half Farmers Destitute

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 5.--Secre-
tary Hoover is in town today in an
earnest attempt to still the growing
resentment, rage might not be too
strong a word, which has seized the
residents of the flooded zone at the
action of Controller General Carl in
refusing to permit the transfer of
$2,800,000 from the rivers and har-
bors allotment to the Mississippi
River Commission for levee building,
A New Disaster.
Unless money is forthcoming in
the near future this work must be
suspended about Nov. l, leaving the
crevasses only partially closed, and
this might mean, said high ranking
officer of the Army Engineer Corps,
another calamity of grave proper
tions."
There are 225 crevasses in the
levees of the Mississippi and her
southern tributaries, and not any of
them are as yet closed, although work
to that end is progressing on the
gaps in the main Mississippi River
system.
This last bit Of red tape ineffi-
cheney on the part of government
which the people are gradually be-
ginning to understand has actually
caused this years flood by sacrificing
them to contractors and grafters in
the matter of levee building, has made
many who formerly were one-hun-
dred percent Americans a little Bit
ter.
Hoover Sits on Lid.
Hoover's time is taken up by a
round of back-slapping among the
country bankers and business men,
and the assurance that there may be,
some time in the future, legislation
to relieve the farmers of their crush
ing burden of taxation, which they
are unable to pay because of bank
ruptcy thru flood.
81 am certain we shall solve every
phase of the problem" said Hoover
to a delegation of the flood inn
poverished, and their creditors, from
the small towns, as he stood in the
best hotel in Memphis today. But
how he meant to do it he did not
vouchsafe, beyond the general as
sertion that tho the problems are
enormous, this is an enormous coun-

cial bunting was soaked along the
boulevards and the riotous spirits
with which the so-called veterans ex-
pected to invade the capital of France
were considerably dampened. This is
the second shipload of Legionnaires
to arrive in France.
Rain Quenches Fire Eaters.
Later in the day march was Or
ganized thru the Elysees and under
the Arc de Triomphe. Platoons of
inperialist troops, representing every
ally who participated in the last
slaughter, marched thru the down
pour in eloquent testimony that the
imperialist powers are as warlike in
1927 as they were in 1917 and are
only waiting for another generation
Of cannon fodder to mature in order
to send new thousands of workers
under the barrage.
This parade of the Legion and the
remnants of the armed hordes of
1914 is part of the propaganda which
the inperialists the world over are
plying the workers in an effort to
build up more powerful military
organizations and to excite the work
ers for war.
/ Cripples Paraded in Rain.
In their effort to whip up enthusi-
asm; the militarists. who have charge
of the reception of the American
Legion, -paraded armless, legless,
crippled and disfigured men thru the
pouring rain. The hopelessly crippled
were wheeled along in wheel-chairs
and the blind were led by hand. These
soldiers who destroyed their whole
lives in the 1914 carnage, helpless and
dependant on the tender mercies of
the government hospitals, are forced
to propagandize for the wars which
the imperialists are again planning.
Most of the French workers, in
censed over the arrival of the Amer
ican Legion whose support of the
murder of Sacco and Vanzetti French
labor has sworn never to forget, re-
mained indoors in silent protest
against the American desecration of
the Unknown Soldiers Tomb where
the Legion has dared to lay wreathes.
The few who were along the boule-
wards were kept from seeing much of
the procession by the hundreds of
mounted gendarmes and foot cops.
The entire Paris police force fully
armed was, present to suppress any
evidence of the indignation Of the
French workers. None, however, was
attempted.
Thousands Deported.
! The deportation of workers and
their representatives is being ruth
lessly carried out by the police all
over France. Thousands have been
deported in the last months, many on
faxed charges. In their terror the
French bosses are willing to delegate
all power to the police and they have
carte blanche to hunt down whatever
leaders have dared to protest against
the exploitation Of the workers or the
imperialism which France % imi sing
on Morocco and other colonies.
Tho many Of the editors are in jail,

CAPITALISTS, preachers and labor
" takers spent Labor Day telling the
workers of this country that they did
not have a care in the world and that
their chief worry should be lest the
radicals draw them into their net.
Others are of the opinion that there
is so much prosperity in the land
that radical ideas have little chance
of roosting here. Matthew Woll

tune.

MOST of the preachers devoted their

Needless to say the preachers did not
sned any new light on the subject;
neither did they employ the illumina-

their audiences something about the

nothing better to offer as solution

New Passport
For Mr.. Ware
Presented

In the midst Of a filibuster, SEN

day presented to the Senate new
set of credentials for Senator-elect
William s. Ware.
The credentials were drawn by
Governor Fisher as a substitute for
the irregular set given Ware follow
ing the election last November by
Former Governor Clifford Pinchot
The Pinchot credentials failed to de-
clare Ware legally elected and were
to have been the basis of the contest
to deny Ware the right to take his
seat in the Senate.
The Pennsylvanian's action led to
furious exchange of debate, with
Senators Reed 3D. of Missouri and
Dill CD of Washington, protesting
against the credentials being re-
ceived. The Missourian finally
moved that the Fisher-issued creden-
