DAILY WORKER
TO CELEBRATE
Fourth YEAR
Jan. 18th Anniversary,
a Labor Event

Announcement was made yesterday
by the Committee in charge of the
program for the fourth anniversary
of The DAILY WORKER, that active
preparations are now under way to
make this the most important event
in the history of the paper.
The affair which is to take place on
January 18th at Mecca Temple, seth
St. and Seventh Ave-, will mark the
completion of four years of as mill
tant and difficult struggle as any
revolutionary organ in America has
ever had to face.
Speaks for Vanguard of Struggle.
Speaking always for the vanguard
of this struggle, pointing always
Ifearlessly to the direction in which
labor must travel, guiding and direct
ing its none too sure progress in the
country of the most powerful imperi-
alism, The DAILY WORKER, organ
of the Workers (Communist) Party
of America, has been steeled in the
clash with reaction and tempered by
the heat of capitalist fire.
During the period of it's existence
it has passed through siege of the
most aggressive assault against the
labor movement in American history;
during this period also has come the
most bitter attack on the militants
and progressives yet witnessed; with
in the last year of it's existence has
occurred, the open alliance of the lead
ing labor officials with the govern
ment and the rulers Of the govern
ment in the capitalist class.
Fought Always Unflinchingly.
Throughout this period The DAILY
WORKER has held up unflinchingly
the banner of militant class struggle.
In the face of the combined attack of
the right wing labor officialdom and
the government, facing always the
most serious problem of making ends
meet, threatened with suspension of
publication rights on framed up
charges, yet it has managed to grow
steadily in Communist vigor and
working class consciousness until now
it can without apology speak for the
rising Party which it officially rep
resents.
The fourth anniversary promises to
be not only an event in the history of
the Communist movement in America
but a milestone in the development of
the American working class.

DRAMATIC TRIP
BEGINS RIVALRY
FOR RULE OF AIR
Europeans Put Ships on
Routes Years Ago

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 90
The claws of the flying eagle are be-
ing felt by German interests in Cen
trail and South America. The flight
Of Charles A. Lindbergh, goodwill"
ambassador of U. S. Imperialism to
Central and South America, is a direct
outcome of Coolidge's desire to beat
the aviation activities of Baron Peter
Won Bauer, officials pointed out.
Germany First.
German hydroplanes were put into
operation some years ago, in the Re-
public of Colombia. When plans were
devised to continue this service to
Nicaragua, Panama, Costa RIGA, Sal
vador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico
and Cuba, big business interests in the
United States pricked up their ears,
and their mouthpiece, Coolidge, in his
message to congress stated that eve
are particularly solicitous of having
the United States take leading part
in the development" of aviation in
Latin America.
Regular Mail Service.
Under the leadership of Won Bauer,
a regular mail and passenger service
was established in 1921, and developed
to the point where twelve passengers
are carried in each hydroplane. When
the German operators attempted to
establish landing field in Cristobal,
the United States, which controls this
territory, refused to allow it, and pre-
pared to do some developing on it's
own hook.
Lindbergh was obviously sent as the
advance agent to inaugurate in
dramatic style, the United States
competition in Latin America.

PAPERS FORGED;
SENATE DECIDES
AGAINST HEARST
Sheffield Tried to Buy
Mexican Officials

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 20
The senate committee Investigating
the Hearst forgeries against Mexico
today ended the bribery angle abrupt
ly, in the absence of its. chairman,
Senator David Reed of Pennsylvania,
the man who provoked the inquiry in
the form of an investigation, not of
Hearst, but of senator's accused in
the Hearst forper'ies of taking brihes
from Mexico. The committee voted a
resolution that the four senators men
toned in the Hearst stories were
"urcorrupted and incorruDtible. thus
rroving part of the documents were
forgeries.
Stirs Up Talk.
However, the investigation having
once been started, has stirred up so
much talk that it could not be drnppad
at once, and the questioning IF Mur-
ray, one of the men mentioned in the
documents, continued resulting in
evidence that U. S. Ambassador
Sheffield himself was trying to cor
rupt Mexican officials.
Murray said that Avila. Hearst's
man in Mexico, who swore on the
stand yesterday that he purchased the
papers in Mexico, came to him and
offered to sign an affidavit swearing
one document was a forgery. The
witness added that Avila didn't want
to make the affidavit while in Mexico
but offered to go to New York to
sign it.
Asked for $500.
"He asked for $780," added Muir
ray. IT told him it wasn't worth that
to me-"
"Did you say that Ambassador
Sheffield had all this stuff before
Hearst did," asked Senator Johnson.
eyes" said Murray. "It was my
information that the American en-
bassy had been very generously on the
market for long time for this sort
of stuff"
do you men that the American
embassy was buying documents relat-
ing to Mexico?"

COURTS PONDER
OKLAHOMA FUSS

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Dec. 20.
Though the state militia still point
their bayonets at any legislators who
wander into the state capitol building
and still stop any attempt of the
House or Senate to meet there and
conduct impeachment proceedings
against Governor Johnston, the courts
grind on increasingly.
The District Court, which has be-
fore it the question of the validity of
the Impeachment meetings" of the
Legislature down town in hotel room,
has summoned to come before it to-
morrow the governor himself, and
Mrs. o. 0. Hammonds, "The Female
Rasputin," as she is called by the
Legislature, otherwise known as Gov
ernor Johnston's secretary, and code
PENDANT with him against charges of
moral turpitude" launched by the

Sick Couple Evicted.

SICK couple Evlcted.
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 20.-Coal and
Iron police at Harmarville, carrying
through evictions for the Consumers
Coal Company, subsidiary of Wheel
ing Steel, yesterday forced Joe Leb-
reski, striking miner, and his wife,
both sick, to get out of their COM
pany-owned houses in the pouring
rain. The sick couple had to be
carr e d over to the unfinished
barracks and laid down. on the bare
floor, No stove, no beds, no tar paper
on the robust the boards laid
across with the rain coming through.
The mass evictions taking place in
the coalfields of Pennsylvania, in
creased by thousands through the
latest decision of the State Superior
Court are on scale unheard of in
any previous industrial war.
This is Class War.
The tragedy of mass eviction is the
tragedy of war refugees used to the
full by the capitalist press of the
country to whip up feeling to white
heat during the world war. But the
coal war is class war, so the capitalist
press maintains silence on the vast
desolation spread throughout the
Pennsylvania camps by the brutal up
roofing of tens OF thousands of strik-
ers' families and the suffering of the
eXiles through the soden winter days
At Harmarville the miners have
been forced to build their barracks
on piece of swampland out at the
edge of the town used as dumping
ground. Andrew Mellon, Gar of the
Pittsburgh district, and owner of the
Pittsburgh Coal Company, leader in
the understanding campaign, owns
all the land for miles around Harmar-
vile, and his agent told the strikers
they could never lease foot for bar
racks at any price.
Women Fight Too.
Harmarville is known by scabs and
Coal and Iron police as a fighting
town; and all through the lockout the
women have fought alongside the
men. They came out. on the picket
line, held dances up at the Miners
Hall with boy accordion player from
the next camp for music to keep up
the strikers spirit. They got beaten
up and jailed by the Coal and Irons
and deputies, got out and started in
all over again.
But barrack life in swamp in De
cember is hard to face, with hunger
terrifyingly close at hand; one of the
pickets said he saw a woman crying
so he could hardly bear it as she
walked into the bare wooden box that
was all the home she would have till
! the fi~ht is won.

Machine Uses Fraud
In Painters Election

Elections IN Painters District Coun-
Gil 8, held last Saturday at Yorkville
Casino, have brought out evidences
of repeating" illegal Eoting, and
general counting out of the progress
sive members, according to the facts
submitted by the Inter-local Com
mittee conducting the campaign for
four progressive ioca1s.
The counting of the vote which was
not completed until last night re-
vealed that over 1900 "repeaters"
were brought in by the intrenched
District Council machine. The watch
ers for the Inter-local Committee re-
fused to sign the tally sheets and the
indecisive situation may become the
subject Of rank and tile protest in
the immediate future.
Machine Uses Tammany Methods.
Pete Rothman, progressive candi-
date for day secretary, was permit
ted to obtain" 1888 votes by the ma
chine group. David Schapiro, their
own candidate, was credited with hav-
ing received 3,175. In addition to
the more than 1900 "repeaters,
many of whom were not even men,
bers of the trade, the reactionary
and ADMITTEDLY corrupt district coun-
ell, according to watchers Of the pro-
gressive committee, adopted the prac-
tice of "brazenly counting out" the
candidates of the other side.
The following method, it was
charged, was resorted to: Votes taken
from the ballot boxes were called out
by watchers of the District Council,
it is reported These watchers al
most uniformly shouted the name of
their own particular candidate. When
challenged, the corrupt officials mere
: ly agreed that they had made mis-
take" but failed nevertheless to
change the record on the tally
sheets.
Protests Disregarded.
sin spite of persistent and repeated
protests" the committee leaders de-
clared, "we were unable to change
the counting out methods of the
machine" In the case of Louis Bloom
VI l@OSdl lJO4A, pIC5 IGoolNS NdIIulueiIS
for Business Agent, the tactics of this
machine were especially vicious, the
committee pointed out. There is moi
the least doubt that Bloom won by
many hundreds leaders Of the com.
mittee declared, "but by the most
brazen, corrupt and unashamed meth
DDS he was counted out by 1856 votes
Bloom receiving, according to then
report, 1880 votes and Ginsberg Of

Jails Supply Scabs.

DENVER, Colo.-A new system for
inveigling scabs has been established
through the kindly cooperation of the
jails and mine owners. Men who are
arrested here, and charged with va
grancy, are hailed before the courts
and sentenced to 60 days in Jail. But
an obliging jailor soon informs the
victims that freedom awaits them if
they will agree to work. AS soon as
they assent, they are taken to the
mines to scab. Thus far, none of the
victims of this system have remained
at the job.

Poor Bosses Must DIG

LAFAYETTE, Colo.-The Puritan
mine just out of this city has instruct
ed all supervisors and other "bosses"
to dig coal. Strike leaders think that
they will soon make application to
join the union, since digging is tough
job to which bosses are unaccustomed.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Scheme.

COLUMBINE MINE, Colo.-When
strikers investigated the stories run
ming in the daily newspapers here
about the huge number of men work
ing in the mines of northern Colorado,
it was learned that the few scabs were
rounded up each morning, sent down
the shaft, and directly after the Of
fetal count was taken, most of the
scabs were sent on to neighboring
mines to participate in other off
CLAP counts.

Strikers Available To Speak.


LAFAYETTE, Colo. y Speakers,
fresh from the strike fields, are being
routed by the State Executive Com
mittee for speaking tours throughout
the country. Organizations who de-
sire speakers are instructed to write
to one of the following, dependent
upon the district: Byron Kitto at Box
542, Butte, Mont, H. C. Duke at Box
2, Arcade Station, Los Angeles, Calf,
A. S. Embree and Roger Francezon
at 1888 Belmont Ave, Chicago, III.
Donations are being sent to the Col

tense Committee, Box SO, Lafayette,
Colo.
WALSENBURG, Colo, Dec. 10
The conditions that were responsible
for bringing on the strike are respon-
sible for driving scabs off the job as
we'll. Three scabs who were brought
into Aguilar by an escort of state po-
lice to work in the Broadhead Mine,
objected to having a large percentage
OF their wages deducted to maintain
the mine guards.
-Four others from Green Canyon
made similar complaints. Twelve
scabs from Pictou complained that
they couldn't earn living there, so
gave up their jobs. Due to the sub
traction of rs cents per day per miner
from wages, the days pay is lowered
to its former level. Mayor Woods of
Trinidad owns the Broadhead Mine.
School Feg Scabs.
WALSENBURG, Colo.-A school
Tor scabs was established by the Sui
Ivan Demonstration Company of Den
yer, who sent Elmer Bird, tutor of
scabs," to the State Mine at Erie. The
trltling amount of coal that has come
over the tipple thus far, indicates that
either the scabs are not apt students
or Bird brilliant instructor.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -
When the men at the Pike View mine
here protested their rate Of pay, a
two cent per ton increase was granted
to the leaders, and forty cent per day
was given the company men. Two
days later, check-up was made, and
1T was learned that miners were re-
ceiving less than ever, for they were
being robbed Of pay for from two to
eight hundred pounds per ton of coal
loaded.

 On1y~esSxpoal inspection oof the me- ehanical devices Gray carried will re- veal what altitupde was attained in the flight which ended at Sparta, Tenn, with the balloon wrecked and the piloot -dead in the basket of his craft.
 But whHthsr the ascent is disquali- fled for official record because of the death of the man who made it, army balloonists agree that Gray's flights have yielded information of lasting value about the upper regions of the airs And whether the army balloonist hved ,to hnow. how high he had risen on his' lsst ascent, he had the satis- faction. of knowing that on an earlier flight. just seven months before his last. he. came closer to the sky than any other man.
 His flight to ,sn altitude of 42,470 feet last April is the highest ever made, although it was not recog- nixed officially because Gray was forced to descend by parachute. It eompare .swith. .theaaltitude of 35,424 feet attained by the German balloon igts, Surfing and Burson, in 1901, and with the | airplane record of 38,7O4 feet set by ALieutenant J. A.
