Searles Sobs For Compers and Raps Mexico

not turned the Mexican natural re-
sources-oil in particular-and the
Mexican people over to American
capitalists.
Searles, like his masters, wants
nothing but unconditional surrender.
He is doing his best, as his letter
to the Indianapolis News shows, to
fan the prejudices of as many Amer
leans as possible against Mexico in
order that Wall Street may have an
easier task in plundering that ma
ton.
The connection between the hatred
of Mexico, its government and peo-
pie, and the Lewis machine and its
hangers-on, is this:
The greater the plumber from
Mexico and other Latin American
countries, the greater the share Of
the agents of Imperialism in the la
Dor movement.
The consuls and pro-consuls Of an
Gent Rome hired freemen and pie
bans to cry out their praises and
denounce their enemies when they
walked thru the imperial city return
ing from subjugated regions. Amer
lean imperialism is less crude and
there has been a great advance in
publicity methods. The general meth
cd, however, remains unaltered and
SO we find editor Searles crying out
in the market-place that the house
of Gales should be put down and
the house of Morgan made to rule
in its place.
We have mixed classical and
scriptural analogy in the above para
graph but it would require the adj
dition of pathological metaphor to
accurately describe the role played
by Searles and his bosses.

MAYORS MEETING
FAILS TO SETTLE
.DOxMAKER STRIKE
Bosses Absent Again
Another Call Sent

The meeting yesterday between act
ing Mayor Joseph V. Mckee, substi-
tuting for Mayor Walker, now on a
vacation, and the striking paper box
workers delegation was indecisive.
The employers again failed to ap-
pear, other than to send a letter say
ing that they did not believe there
was any strike.
Inasmuch as Mayor Mckee, as at
least the nominal head of the police
department could not but have heard
of the great parade of paper box
strikers the day before, dubbed by a
Gordon of police, and charged into by
a mounted policeman, this argument
sounded rather flat.
Hurried Hearing.
The Mayor hurried the interview
through, merely promising that he
would "do justice" and setting Friday
as the date of another conference, at
which the employers are to be more
urgently requested to attend. A res
olution prepared by Arthur Garfield
Hayes was carried, instructing the
manufacturers to respect the call of
the Mayor and appear, and the police
to be neutral.
The Troops Present.
Immediately after the interview,
Mayor Mckee tripped down the steps
to inspect a detachment of marines,
drawn up for that purpose. The mill

Local
in Refusal to
OustLanger
HOOt Out Takers When Their
Injunction Comes In

NEWARK, N. J., Feb. 1.-The In
ternational officers of the Fur Work
ers' union were utterly flouted by the
members of Local 25 last night, at a
stormy meeting at Montgomery Hall
when the subject of the Information
ais injunction against the local came
up for discussion by the members.
Workers Unanimous.
As far as the 600 fur workers pres
ent were concerned there was no diff
ference of opinion. They were unani-
nous in rejecting, by a hundred per
cent vote and some vigorous Ian
guage, the order of the international
officers to suspend their regularly
elected business agent, Morris LANCER,
and turn over the affairs of the local
to a committee appointed by the In
ternational's Subcommittee.
The members were also unanimous
in condemning the action of the In
ternational officers in applying for
an injunction against the local off
GERS, who insisted in obeying the
wishes of the local members instead
of the International officers.
Their Majesties Arrive.
The meeting had gotten under way
at Z o'clock with NJ Greenberg in the
chair, when the royal family of the
union appeared - President 0zier
Schachtman, and P. Lucchi, an or
ganizer, Vice-presidents Sorkin and
Winnik, Moe Harris, Secretary-treas-
urer Wohly and Henry Hilfers, New
Jersey state organizer of the A. F.
of L.
Lucchi 0usted.
The members Immediately objected
to admitting Lucchi, and again by an
unanimous vote, he was barred from
the hall. The others were allowed to
proceed to the platform, and Morris
LANCER then took the floor to explain
to the members the difficulties be-
tween the local officers and the Inter
nationals. subcommittee, and to de-
nounce the subcommittee action in
trying to impose its will by means of
an injunction
Asked To Surrender.
When President Schachtman rose
to speak he made an attempt to pour
oil on the troubled waters and prove
that all was going to be harmonious
between the Long Island City office
and the local. All that had to be done
was for the local to turn over its af-
fairs as ordered.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Schachtman,
this suggestion instead of bringing
peace brought such howl Of protest
from the meeting that he finally had
to sit down before finishing his
speech. Then Hilfers tried to be the
peace-maker, begging the members to
listen to Schachtman, saying he came
as an impartial observer. But that
word impartial brought cry from
the house, "Then why did you con-
denim us at the Essex Trades and
