Jingos Fooled; Defense
Day Called Off Because
OF Wide Spread Protest

WASHINGTON, July T (FP).-
Thoroughly frightened by the wide
spread popular cutlery against Prus-
sian military displays in America, the
War Department will not attempt to
hold a defense day" test this year.
The first test in 1924 with mobiliza-
ton of the national guard, bellicose
speeches from admirals and generals
and militarist parades through many
cities, aroused determined opposi-
ton. The second test, in 1925, was
advanced from Armistice Day to July
but was fiasco, as most of the pop
ulation called it a holiday and left the
cities.
Last year the War Department con-
sidered the opposition from pacifist
organizations such as the National
Council for the Prevention of War so
great that the defense day" tests de-
feated their own purpose. The mil
itary display was called off. Despite
General Pershing's warm support for
holding a test this year, the depart
ment has decided that discretion is the
better part Of valor, and has indefi-
nitely postponed the event.

First Transcaucasian
Power Station i'm the
Soviet Union Started

TIFLIS, June &c (By Mail) The
Zemo-Avchalsk hydroelectric station
(ZAGES), the first power station in
Transcaucasia, has started operations
The station, whose construction began
in 1929, is built on the left bank of
the Kura, IL kilometers from Tiflis
Four three-phase alternating cur
rent turbo-dynamos, 1000 kilowatt
each, have been established at the sta
ton. The 6,400-volt current generated
by the station is raised to a voltage
Of $4,000 v. and transmitted to Tiflis,
where it is again decreased to volt
age corresponding to the nature of
the consumption of electricity.
The present power capacity of the
station is $4,000 horsepower, which is
only one half of the stations full ca
pacity, which will be $4,000 HIP. The
entire cost of the construction, includ-
ing the line transmitting the electric
ity, four decreasing substations in the
city and the city high tension network,
amounts to 16 million roubles.
ZAGES supplies electric energy to
the city of Tiflis and it's environs and
also serves to electrify the Suram
mountain pass section of the Trans
caucasian railway.

trade unions strikes are doomed to
failure. The very fact that these de-
cisions have been passed almost
simultaneously in various districts
and aimed at strikes in the textile
industry which is at present showing
a very considerable boom, testifies to
the systematic nature of the attack
of the capitalist class on the in
disputable time-honored rights of the
trade unions. One more example will
prove that it is not matter of isola-
ted facts, but of a general attack en-
principle on the workers right by
the capitalists.
In the beginning of May the great
Communist paper in ChemnitZ, Der
Kampfer" published an article calling
on the workers to leave the factories
after hours continuous work Such
articles, coinciding with the whole
of Communist Party policy in the
struggle for the 8-hour day, are quite
normal phenomena. The Chemnitz
Public Prosecutor, however, found it
necessary to institute immediate
court proceedings against the editor
of the paper, on the plea that the
court sees in such agitation and 'irre-
sponsible" appeals to strike criminal
action" Thus the Chemnitz Public
Prosecutor formulated and adopted
the above mentioned decisions of the
district Courts, aimed against the
Union.
Endow Fascist Onions"
In connection with this undisguised
limitation Of trade union rights it is
Of Importance to note the attempts
of the capitalists to endow the yellow
semi-company, semi-fascist trade
unions" with the right to conclude
wage agreements. Up to the present
only the free, reformist, Christian and
Hirsch-Bunker (neutraD trade unions
have enjoyed this right. In the re-
Gently published Expert Opinion"
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-07-08
Attack on Trade Union Rights in Germany

of the Berlin Professor Kashell, the
conclusion is reached that the yellow
unions might be given the right, on
equal terms with the other trade
unions, to take part in negotiations
for Collective Agreements. In COM
menting on this Expert Opinion" the
"Kolnische Zeitung," the organ of
heavy industry, writes: "The impor-
lance of Kaskell's Expertise is in
creased by the fact that both the
ministry for Labor and the Trade
Unions have many times recognized
his authority in matters of Labor
rights. 1t follows, therefore, that the
Minority for Labor cannot afford to
ignore this Expertise." The capital
ist press is making propaganda for
Kaskell's "Expertise."
Yellow Company Unions.
The acknowledgement of the yell
low trades unions rights to conclude
wage agreements is pregnant with
many dangers for the working class.
In the yellow unions the employers
will have their own hirelings acting
for them in concluding wage agree
ments. The employers hope by means
of the yellow unions to squeeze out
the free unions and thus free them
selves from 'importunate" daily eco
nomic conflicts.
Although the reformists are doing
nothing to resist the capitalist attack
on the unions the employers will not
be able to get away with these plans.
The revolutionary wing of the work
ing class, following with an eagle
eye the manoeuvres of the capitalist
class, has raised campaign against
attempts to limit trade union rights.
The attack of the capitalists on trade
union rights, still in it's embryo
stage, can only be beaten off by the
mobilization Of the broad masses of
the workers for the defence of their
class organizations.

Remove z Officers
From Hall Who Did
Not Crush Workers
(By Federated Press.)

WASHINGTON, July 7 (FP). -
Public curiosity over the summary
transfer of two commanding officers
of the Marine Corps from Haiti be-
cause they were too liberal in the
treatment of Haitian workers is caus-
ing no end of anxiety in the War
Department, Federated Press has
learned.
Col. julius S. Turrill, commanding
officer of the marines with the rank
of brigadier- general and Col. William
c. Harllee have been withdrawn from
Haiti and ordered to report to the
war college while their places have
been taken by officers who are more
in accord with the policy Of Brig Gen.
John H. Russell, American high COM
missioner to Haiti. Russell, in effect
the dictator of Haiti over President
Borno, the puppet ruler put in power
by the American state department,
has followed "strong" policy of
crushing efforts by Haitian workers
to form trade unions and fight for
their economic betterment
Fired for Liberalism.
Both Turrill and Harllee exercised
leniency in carrying out their orders,
in charge of Marine Corps activities,
to police the Negro republic and pre-
serve law and order Harllee himself
was delegate to the Cleveland con-
vention in 1924 which nominated the
late Senator TaFo1Ietta for the nras
idency.
The incident, met at General
Lajeune's office with the court COM
ment that Officers obey ORDERS" has
aroused keen interest among congress-
men who have recently visited Haiti.
Reports from the island republic in
dictate that the successors of the two
officers have followed the Russell pol
icy obsequiously.

The reactionary anti-trade union
bill in England has served as a sort
of signal for general attack by the
European capitalists of the trade
unions. The example of democratic
England has been followed by super
democratic Norway. 1t goes without
saying that Hindenburg's Germany
could not sit by with folded hands
and watch other countries carry off
the palm in cutting down the rights
of the workers class organizations.
The limitation of trade union rights
appeared to Germany the more neces-
sary and timely in that the wave of
strikes sweeping over the land is be-
ginning to replenish the capitalists
takings. The craven spirit of conces-
sion displayed by the reformists on
all occasions towards the capitalist
class convinced the latter that there
would be no serious resistance from
the trade union leaders.

The succession Of reactionary legis-

however, caused such indignation
among the masses of the workers
that the German capitalists have not

of this, and they are forced to resort
to other means. Without introduc-

We will allow facts to speak for

the textile workers strike in the

ing over 10000 workers. The scope
of the strike and the endurance Of
the textile workers on strike has al
ready caused the employers consid-
cradle material loss. Unable to break
down the resistance of the workers in
an open struggle and unwilling to
satisfy their demands for shorter
day, the employers applied for assis-
tance to the Hamburg District Court.
The latter FASTENED to bring a de-
cision prohibiting the Textile Work

Courts Smash Strike.
The Labor Press Immediately
sounded the alarm. The employers
press asseverated with conplacency
that "there are still law courts in
Germany" The German textile
workers union issued an appella-
tion against this unprecedented Court
decision. On the q of May the Ham
burg Court turned down the appella-
ton and confirmed it's first decision.
The action of the Hamburg Court
was not without it's reverberations.
The Leipzig Court brought a similar
resolution against the Leipzig strill-
ers. although under pressure from the
well-organized workers in Saxony,
they were soon forced to withdraw
it. The next attack on the right to
