Crouch Anti-War Meet
Hears Dunno, Others

Workers gathered at Irving Plaza
last night were made to feel that
the menace of q new imperialist war
hangs over the working class of the
United States when Paul Crouch,
Communist soldier, addressed a mass
meeting against the militarization of
American youth.
The meeting was arranged by the
Young Workers (Communist) League
and District Two of the Workers
(Communist) Party as demonstra-
tion also against United States i'm
perialism and it's contemplated wars.
Other speakers were William F..
Dunno, member of the central execu-
tive committee of the Workers Party,
William w. Weinstone, party organ
izer of the New York district, and
Philip Frankfield and Sam Don, both
of the league. Al Schaap, of the
league, was chairman. Crouch was
recently released from Alcatraz
prison after serving two years for
organizing with Walter Trumbull a
Young Workers League in the United
States army barracks at Hawaii,
where both were soldiers.
Not A Volunteer Army.
After telling of the efforts of many
young soldiers to leave the army by
trickery or self-destruction, Crouch
told the working men and women be-
fore him that the United States army
was not in fact volunteer army.
"The United States claims to have
a volunteer army" he said, "but that
is not true. The United States army
is recruited by economic necessity, by
unemployment, hunger and the fact
that one must eat in order to live"
Dunno defined various phases of
United States imperialism, pointing
out that the government was rapidly
going on a war basis. He charged
this imperialism had absorbed the
leadership of the American Fedora
tion of Labor and pointed out that the
present attack on the United Mine
Workers of America and other unions
was a part of a general preparatory
mobilization for war.
Crouch said soldiers were recruited
exclusively from the working class
but were used to defend property of
the capitalists at home and abroad.
He said no recruiting signs were to

STRIKE LEADER
ASSAULTED BY
BOSSES THUGS
Darck, Window Cleaner
Secretary, In Hospital

The strike of nearly 1000 New
York Window Cleaners was marked
by further boss gangsterism with the
assault and serious injury of Peter
Darck, secretary of Local 8 of the
striking Window Cleaners Protective
Union, yesterday forenoon.
Darck was attacked by two uniden-
titled men outside the door of union
headquarters, Is East Sd st.
The assailants were hidden on the
first floor landing of the building in
which the union offices are located.
As Darck was climbing the stairs he
was dubbed with iron pipes. He fell
to the floor unconscious. He suffered
the loss of two teeth, decorations of
the scalp and possible fracture Of
the skull
The assault is believed to have been
planned by the employers association.
1t was witnessed by Mrs. Mary Mi
renetz, who called for help while
Darck was being slugged. She said
that as Darck fell one of the gang
sters kicked him in the face.
Attack Was Expected.
The attack was expected. Joseph
Katz, business agent of the company
union. the Affiliated Local l, is re-
potred to have said: eve are going
TO get Darck."
"This attack by the hired guerrillas
Of the employers indicates the desper-
ate situation in which they find them
selves" Harry Feinstein, business
agent of the striking union, said last
night. "Our men viii fight until the
company union is destroyed in fact
and in principle in our industry The
bosses will come to terms with us"
Darck In Hospital.
Darck was taken to the St. Marks
Hospital in serious condition.
Among employers who have settled

Mine Union Officials
Compromise Coronado
Case for Cash Payment

FORT SMITH, Ark, Oct. H.
The Coronado suit against the
United Mine Workers of America
has been settled out of court by
payment by the union of 27,500
to the company-each side bearing
their own cost of litigation. The
case was on the eve of its fifth
trial in the U. S. district court.
The Coronado Coal Co. attempted
to get what it termed triple dam
ages" for loss to business caused
by the 1914 coal strike, and put
up the usual argument about "vio-
lence" committed by the miners.
The last two trials resulted in
mistrials. The case has been twice
in the U. S. supreme court.

employers in positive way.
The only militant note struck was
on the issue of injunctions but this
was nullified by the failure to outline
and adopt concrete program OF ac-
ton against these vicious measures.
A Black Record.
Proposals for a labor party met
with no consideration. Anti-imperial-
ist and anti-war resolutions were
buried in committee and the only one
to see the light of day was one from
the New York Federation of Labor
This was defeated unanimously.
Resolutions calling for the organi-
zation of Negro workers and the abo-
lition of all discrimination against
them were likewise defeated. The con-
vention refused to demand the with
drawal of troops and warships from
Nicaragua and China.
No progress was reported IN the
organization of the millions of work
ers in basic industry nor was any
practical plan for carrying on this
work submitted.
/ Laud Union-smashing
| The action of the executive council
and its special committee in the New
York needle trades unions, which has
resulted in this committee, the police,
courts, gunner and bosses combining
into union-smashing agency, and the
! failing of hundreds of Communists
and left wing needle trades workers,
was endorsed.
Bitter hostility to the Soviet Union
was voiced.
No preparations were made to
strengthen the labor movement
against the attack Of the bosses which
has already beaten down the United
Mine Workers of America-the Fed
eration's strongest union.

One of the outstanding features OF
/ the convention was the cooperation
between the A. F. of l.. officials and

A charge that Mayor James j.

America in the Bronx Sunday after
noon, Oct. %, because of sympathies
toward Mussolini and fascism was
made in statement by Carlo Tresca,
president of the Anti-Fascist League
of North America, last night.
Tresca pointed out that Mussolinl
gave New York's mayor reception
in Rome recently when Walker was
touring Europe.
Two fascists were slain in connec-
ton with a fascist parade last Mem
orial Day in the Bronx. Galogero
Greece and Donate Garlic are
charged with the Staying and are IN
iail awaiting trial. Tresca in his
statement charges also the decision
by Count Thoan di Revel, president
of the Fascist League, to hold the
parade in the Bronx is an attempt to
provoke more serious trouble.
Mayor Repays Mussolini.
"It is necessary to remember that
soon after the tragic events Of Deco

sued a statement forbidding parades
of black shirts in the future" the
statement said. Undoubtedly Mayor
Walker in going over Warrens head
is giving the fascists free hand IN

In way the brunt Of the hard
ship entailed by the attack of the
coal operators falls on the wives of
the locked-out miners. They are the
ones that have the heart breaking job
of trying to feed their men and their
children after six months of lockout
without a cent of pay coming in and
the bottom of the flour barrel in
sight. Thousands of the miners
families are still going along without
relief of any kind, and even where re-
lief is coming in about the highest
amount a family gets is $500 a piece
for man and wife and so cents a
piece for each child. Imagine feed
ing yourself on $500 a week, let
alone getting anything else you may
need; or feeding a growing boy on
so cents a week land prices are
definitely higher here than in the
cities)-and you will begin to under
stand what these women are up
against today.
Determined to Fight.
Despite everything, however, the
overwhelming majority of the women
in the locked-out camps are un-
shakable in their determination to
keep up the fight for the union. In

population of the area is $1,000.
Most of the Jewish settlers have
been established on the land during the
past two years, with the helep Of Amer

Textures and Colors in
StuccO Here to Stay

Texture and color effects through
the use of stucco in residence con-
struction apparently are here to tsay.
And such effects have received the ap-
proval of the most noteworthy persons
in the building profession, for colors
and textures mean an end to the COM
monplace and the drab in the build
ing of even the smallest homes They
mean that every person has an oppor-
tunity to express himself or herself in
the exterior as we'll as the interior OF
the home.
But where colored exterior is to
be used wise precaution is to avoid
batch-miXed material-that is, stucco
that is mixed with color on the job, for
the result is likely to be series oH
uneven shades, with the Jennings OF
the different shades plainly marked.
In the Orient the colored stucco used
is Of natural shade-that is, the col
or is part of the material. The same
result is achieved in this country by
mixing mineral pigment into the stuc-
co at the factory. In this way exact
proportions of mix are obtained and
the product is SO controlled that all of

CONGRESS PLAYING WITH FIRE

foolish laws, and failure to enact need
ed laws, which have often brought re-
proach upon Congress. For all such
doings are at worst merely non-feas-
ance, or mis-feasance. But the things
which we have described are deliber-
ate mal-feasance, and are directed not
against some temporary interest of the
nation, but against its permanent fun
damental law. 1t is, as we have said, a
dangerous playing with fire, though
more likely to scorch the players than
to destroy the house. What the abate-
ment will be, is question yet to be
answered. On its face the Constitution
seems to provide no means of coerc-
ing Congress or one Of it's houses to do
its duty or to refrain from usurping
powers. Yet such means must exist,
or must be provided; else the Govern
ment would be unable to preserve its
integrity. 1t would be most desirable
for the two houses to come to their
senses and themselves mend their
ways. If not, they must remember
that they are after all nothing but the
creatures Of the American people,"
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1927-04-29

AS soon as soil need is found, the
fertilizer should be used which will
satisfy this need. On most soils, for
example in Western Washington, fer
tilizer containing high phosphorus
content should be used. On soils Of
the muck and peat type, the first con-
sideration should be to supply potash.
A small amount Of phosphorus added
is also profitable.
The most common amount of phos-
phorus to appl yis 300 pounds of the
superphosphate per acre. If some Of
the othe rforms mentioned are used
the amount should be increased pro-
portionately as the percentage of phos-
phorus is less, or decreased If the per-
centage is greater. This application
should be sufficient to give results for
about three years, and then a new ap-
plication is to be made. For potash
salts, an application of 100 to $50
pounds per acre is very satisfactory.
Nitrate fertilizers are usually applied
at about 100 to $50 pounds per acre.
