SAN FRANCISCO, Recently
Paul Reiss, DAILY WORKER Agent
of Los Angeles, addressed the Build
ers' Club of San Francisco in the in
terests of the Lenin Drive for $4,000
subs.
The quota of District Is, is 200
annual subscriptions. Comrade Reiss
drew on his experience of last years
drive in which he piled up more points
than any other sub getter in the coun-
try. He stressed the matter of well
selected list of prospects which should
be sent in to The DAILY WORKER
to receive a limited number of sample
copies, these persons then to be fol-
lowed up with personal solicitation
In the event that the prospect did not
subscribe for the Daily he should be
urged to subscribe for another Of the
party press.
Ten names were selected to be chal-
lenged through the columns of the
Daily. New members of the Builders
Club were secured and plans were
laid for the organization of Work
ers' Correspondent Club.

Comrade Reiss waxed eloquent in
his boasts of what the southern part
of the state was going to do in this
present drive. lie allowed belittlinp

THE short session of congress
l. rushes toward a close. In an
other week it will be history and
among the matters that viii be
pigeon-holed, if labor does not
rouse itself, will be the investiga-
ton demanded of the sinister ac-
tivities of the department Of jus
tice agents in the frame-up of
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Van
zetti. Days are spent in arguing
the merits of the Boulder Dam
project in the far west, that will
enrich the real estate multi-million-
aires of California, but not one
minute is being given to the attack
on the working class in New Eng
land, that has kept two men close
to death for nearly six years, and
even now prepares to strap them
in the electric chair.

The Detroit convention of the
American Federation of Labor
adopted a resolution demanding
that the frame-up activities of the
governments I'D. of j." agents be
thoroly probed. It had been shown
that agents had admitted they
were definitely instructed to aid in
the frame-up of these two workers.
Charges had been made in open
court that even now the depart
ment of justice, headed by Cool
idge's friend, Attorney General
John Garibaldi Sargent, was con-
cealing information that would re-
suit in the Liberation of Sacco and
Vanzetti.
In the face Of this showing the
A. F. Of L. sought only a congress-
ional investigation. 1t did not de-
mand a new trial.
The resolution demanding the in
vestigation has been duly intro
duced in congress. But that is all.
The resolution slumbers in the
archives Of congress, like thou
sands Of other scraps of paper"
The well-paid legislative agents
Of the A. f. Of L., so far as is
known, have made no effort to Sc
cure action on this resolution.
They have been too busy, no doubt,
lobbying for the Pepper McFadden
Banking Bill, legislation urged by
the big bankers and log-rolled to
victory with the aid of the reac-
tionary elements supporting The
McNary-Haugen Farm Relief Bill.
1t is certain that no effort has
been made by the A. T. of l.. off
cialdom to arouse the workers of
the nation in support of the de-
mand for a congressional investi-
cation of the Cacco-Vanzetti frame
up.

N. J. PROSECUTOR
GETS COLD FEET
ON new MASSES
Fails to Arrest Ruth
Stout as Planned

NEWARK, N. j., Feb. PA squad
of ceps. a battery Of cameramen and
a regiment of reporters and 800 work
ers attended the Scott Nearing lecture
at the Labor Lyceum. 14th St. and
Springfield Ave. last night to witness
or participate in the arrest of Ruth
Stout. business manager of the New
Masses.
But the arrest didn't come off. Dis
trict Attorney Smith, who had barred
the magazine from New Jersey on
the ground that it was.lewd, lecherous
and lascivious, got cold feet at the
last moment and permitted Ruth
Stout to sell the magazine in the hall.
What the New Masses lost in the
way Of publicity, the cops and news
papermen gained in the war Of adv
cation. Scott Nearing outlined the
propaganda methods OF c7mtsl!st
newspapers and showed how the con-
cepts of claw and ORDER inculcated
in the minds Of children, helped keep
the working class doeile.
American imperialist technique IN
Nicaragua was also described by
Nearing.

MINERS UNION !
/. COMMITTEE men
HURRYING HOME
Lewis Orders to Make
Separate Agreements

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 24.-Members Of
the negotiations committee of the
United Mine Workers of America are
hurrying home today, with orders from
International President John l.. Lewis
to make separate agreements with
coal mine owners wherever they can.
They are all either district or Inter
national officials Of the union.
Lewis and the miners union adj
ministration have made no prepare
tions for a strike in the event Of the
negotiations breaking down, though
they were many times warned by the
progressive members of the United
Mine Workers that they should do so.
Progressives Prepare.
While the union officials engage in
risky gambling with double-crossing
company officials, progressives are
understood to be rallying their forces
and preparing to carry on an unof-
fetal organization campaign among
the non-union miners who produce
over half the soft coal of the United
States.
Unless these non-union men can be
brought out, the strike is certain to
be costly to the union.
Hope Lies In Far West.
Meanwhile the Lewis administra-
ton and the Lewis negotiations COM
mittee have declared no other hope
than that they can sign up enough
outlying coal companies to influence
the next negotiations conference,
which will be held in two or three
weeks.
They say they expect to get agree
ments in Montana. Wyoming and
Washington state, although the union
in the latter state is largely smashed.
Montana and Wyoming mines employ
about 5000 men.
They also hope for some split in
the operators ranks in Illinois, al
though the Peabody Coal Co, the
largest producer there, will have the
expert advice and inside information
of Frank Harrington, until last year
president of District II (Illinois) and
now the company's employment man.
ager.
Harrington, like Lewis, was a great
assailant of progressives, and did his
best to drive them out of the union.
Progressives are calling for an or
ganization drive in the non-union
fields.

his remarks. He sent subtle shaft
of ridieule into the ranks of the as
sembled builders and was properly in
terrupted by a comrade who then and
there challenged Reiss and the south
to do their damndest and the north
would go them one better. Not only
would the north make its share Of
CALIFORNIA; quota, but would beat the
south to it.
Feud Finds New Vent.
For many years there has been a
sectional antagonism between the
north and south of California. The
fact that it has finally infected the
party with its virus is due entirely
to the provocative manner in which
Reiss boosted of the achievements of
the home town of Aimee MACPHERSON.
We northerners are not easily pro-
voked. We yield to none in our adj
miration of what Reiss has accom-
plished in the past. But we say no
comrade can rest on past glory. We
are not sure that Reiss was authorized
to speak in the name of the South.
But he belittled us. We are deter
mined that Southern arrogance shall
be meted the treatment it deserves.
Our challenge to the South is that
we will make our share of District
Thirteen's quota and that we will beat
the South to il. And we dare Reiss
and the South to accept our challenge.

FILIBUSTER AND
GAG LAW DECIDE
ON BOULDER DAM
No More DeliberatiOn
In u. S. Senate


WASHINGTON, Feb. "a. The
fate of the Johnson-Swing bill for
the Boulder Dam rests for the mo-
inent on the ability of its opponents
to filibuster until the end Of this con
gress. All the fiction that the senate
is a body Of intellectual personages,
chosen by the people of the United
States because Of their wealth of
craftsmanship and profound wisdom,
has been laid aside. Sheer endurance
Of lung and larynx is deciding legis-
lation.
To Vote On Gag.
A ''gag vote" or cloture, stopping
debate altogether on the Boulder Dam
bill, will be voted on tomorrow.
Selfish interests back Of each group
lend fury to the argument over Boul-
der Dam. The real estate men Of
California have speculated widely in
the lands that irrigation would turn,
from desert to gardens, and the pow
er companies of Utah and Arizona
are frantic at the prospect Of losing
the rich sources of electric power
involved in the project. It is said that
over a million horsepower can be gen
Grated, to cut the rates Of the exist
ing power trust.

Perched atop a legislative jam and
opposed in the senate by one Of the
bcst-organized filibusters on record,
the Boulder Dam bill faces great OBJ
stacles to enactment.
The senators from Arizona, Utah
and Colorado. who fought the bill for
five days and who drove their fill
buster successfully through a tortur-
Gus thirty-hour, all-night session from
Tuesday morning until Wednesday
evening, were prepared to resume the
battle today. Administration leaders,
meanwhile. talked of throwing their
support to some other bill, fearful
that the Boulder Dam filibuster might

The bill held brighter prospects of
enactment in the house, under a spe-
cial rule. but even then, its foes could
defeat it in the senate next week.
MANY Laws To Die.
A TANNED legislative calender con-
feonted the senate with scores upon
scores Of bills and resolutions facing
certain death in the few remaining
days before adjournment. Among the
major measures, which administration
leaders hone to enact, were the new
public buildings bill. the alien nrou-
