The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-07-06

hosts of the world, enlisted under the
banners of the Communist Interna-
tional, pledge themselves to new
struggles. Especially the workers of
the two great English-speaking ma
tions, the United States Of America
and Great Britain, the dominant i'm
perialisms Of today, must wage might
Ter battles against these powerfully
entrenched foes of upward struggling
mankind.
Today we also have in mind the
service rendered the imperialist foe
by the betrayers of labor, the support
given by the MacDonalds, the Hen
dersons and the Thomases to the
Chamberlains, the Joynsen- Hickses,
the Churchills; by the Greens, the
VOLS and the Sigmans to the Cool
idges, the Kelloggs and the Hoovers.
In Great Britain the Labor Party
turns back from an open attack on
the Baldwin tory government. 1t
merely asks for an investigation of
the attack on ARGOS and the breaking
off of relations with the Soviet Union.
In the United States, president
Matthew Vol, speaking for the re-
action within the American Fedora
ton of Labor, applauds the raids on
ARGOS, and calls for more vicious as
saults by the Coolidge-K Kellogg reac-
tion against the Soviet Union. In
every other land the social-democracy
and the reactionary trade union
bureaucracy play the same Judas
role. They all have their price that
capitalism is willing to pay. The
Communist International carries on
relentless exposure of these traitors
before the eyes of international la
Dor, SO that these lackeys of capital
ism will be stripped of their power
and become impotent in their efforts
to continue their treason.
The workers of the world must
know that the traitor social democ-
racy and the servile trade union
bureaucracy, that were the instru-
ments of the warning capitalist pow
ers in 1914, and who now continue in
that role, are stained equally with the
guilt of the murder of our comrade,
Voikoff. The social traitors of 1914
now rally in support of the war of
their imperialist masters against the
Soviet Union, which is also an attack
on the cause of the workers in the
capitalist homelands.
Today the International, that
mourns its martyred dead by the hun
dreds of thousands, that has seen the
most militant and courageous in its
ranks fall in every land with the
passing of the years, extends its con-
ISOLATION to the bereaved family, the
consolation that comes thru the
knowledge that Voikoff's deeds will
be inscribed on the most glorious page
of all in the history of the age-long
struggle of the downtrodden; the page
that records the last triumph against
class rule; the final conquest of pow
er and the complete liberation of the
oppressed.
Today the International glories in
the fact that from the masses of the
workers and peasants of the Soviet
Union there will spring hundreds and
thousands ready and eager to take
the place in its ranks made vacant
by the bullets of an imperialist as
sassin that struck down our comrade,
Voikoff.
AS the earth closes over the cas-
ket that contains the last remains of
our slain comrade, the Communist In
ternational raises its standards for
renewed struggles. Voikoff is dead.
But the banner under which he fought
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-07-06


TODAY the Communist International
lowers its standards over the fresh
grave of another fallen soldier of the
world revolution. For Comrade Vol
koff was a courageous fighter in the
international struggle of the workers
for victory over their oppressors. In
all lands, the many National Sec
lions of the Communist international,
their crimson standards mourning
bordered, pay tribute to the memory
of Comrade Voikoff, the first victim
OF the new war launched against the
citadel of the social revolution-the
Union of Soviet Republics.
For Comrade Voikoff belonged not
only to the workers and peasants of
the Soviet Union He was a part of
and belonged to the toiling masses Of
the whole world The brutal murder
of Comrade Voiloff has not only
brought a heavy loss to the freed
workers of the Soviet Union. His I'M
timely death is a cruel loss suffered
by all those workers still enslaved in
the lands of capitalism.
Comrade Voikoff, as the official
representative Of the First Workers
Republic, the spokesman of the Soviet
Power, stationed in Warsaw, the nest
of the Polish reaction, was an able
builder of the new social order. The
bloody assassin's deed that struck
him down was instigated by the sup
porters of the capitalist regime that
organizes in every land relentless on
slaughts against the aspirations of
those who labor. Especially, it is
very clear that behind the murderer
at Warsaw, pulling at the trigger of
the death-dealing revolver, was the
British imperialist tyranny itself, that
organizes and directs the new anti
Soviet war.
But the British reaction, that in
vaded and plundered the offices of
ARGOS in London, does not stand alone.
At its side we see also the grasping
Dollar Imperialism of America that
beholds in the rule of the Soviets an
enemy of its bitter exploitation of the
workers and farmers in its own home
land-a foe of its relentless exploit
tation of the peoples of subject and
semi-subject nations.
1t was no accident that the Amer
lean ambassador, Myron T. Herrick,
at Paris, just the other day launched
vicious attack against the govern
ment of the Workers and Peasants,
declaring it would never be recog-
nized by the capitalist government of
America. Herrck's utterances were
in perfect harmony with those of Win
ston Churchill, the British chancellor
of the exchequer, who has just visited
Mussolini in Rome, the home of the
fascist tyranny, declaring his admit
ration for the labor-crushing Italian
fascism that enters into an alliance
with British imperialism for the new
anti-Soviet attack.
The gang of imperialist rnurderers
who slaughtered the workers of Nam
king, in China, who have joined in
the raid on the Soviet embassy at
Picking, who instigate and encourage
the strangling and beheading of the
best of the Chinese proletariat, who
tighten the hangman's moose about
the necks of the people of Nicaragua
and Mexico, of Egypt and India, these
are the real murderers of our COM
rade, Voikoff, who died that the cause
of the workers might live and tri-
umph.
Before the open grave that will
soon receive the last remains of our
martyred comrade, the proletarian

The Labor Press in Poland

WARSAW, (By MaiD 1.-THE Polish
" Labor Press having revolutionary
tendencies, is forced like all the rev.
dictionary groups in the Polish Labor
movement to engage in prolonged
and obstinate struggle with the bour-
geoisie, the defensive" (Secret Po-
lice), and reformism.
The Polish Labor Movement is uni
ted since 1920. It's leading body, the
Central Commission of Trade Unions,
like almost all the Central Commit
tees of individual trade unions, is re-
formist. The revolutionary elements
organized in the Red fractions COM
pose in almost all the trade unions
small but influential minority. The
revolutionary elements at the present
moment have only been able to
keep the administration in their own
hands in a few unions-Commercial
Employers, Chemical Workers, Glass
Workers however, they hold
their own despite police and reform
list repression.
THE first central organ of the rev.
dictionary minorities was created
in 1920 by the supporters Of the
cred" trade unions: the builders,
feather workers, chemical workers
and commercial employees. This was
"Mysl Robotnicse" labor Thought),
fortnightly: In spite of persecu-
ton, arrests of editors and staff, etc,
it continued to come out under diff
ferent titles for almost two years.
The Warsaw Trades Council. at that
time the center of the revolutionary
Trade Labor Movement, publishes a
fortnightly "Prezeglad Zwiastoowy"
(Trade Union Education) afterwards
called "Wiasomiscl Zwiaszkowe"
(Trade Union News), which was
however shut down in 1928 by the po-
lice. After this the journal was once
again revived for a short time, but
this time as a monthly. In the end
of 1924 the leaders of the revolution

sPIGS" ON VIEW
AT ENGLISH'S

The Berkel1 Players will be cast
next week in John Golden comedy
entitled pigs" Golden is so well
known as producer of clean Amer
lean plays, that it is scarcely -neces-
sary to state that this comedy is
typical of his past efforts to keep
his plays upon wholesome level.
The authors, Anne Morrison and
Patterson McNutt, have taken a
representative American family,
catalogued each member in his ex-
act position, and moves them about
in their daily activities, with vivid
picture of them in both their trials
,and happy moments.
y The title is rather an unSuggestive
one, as one cannot guess what
might follow such name. How
ever, the plan does have much to do
with the porker. In fact, young
mans career finds its turning point
when a litter of pigs respond to his
newly-acquired medical knowledge
and he realizes that he is well on
the way toward the career Of a vet
Urinary surgeon, his one life's dream.
The many difficulties which have
beset his path as veterinary, while
they added for the moment drab
hue to his emotions, yet spur him on
in the accomplishment of his
dreasm, much as any true American
chap must needs labor to reach a
goal.
The pigs In question arrive in a
fine manifestation of health just in
time to save the family home from
succumbing to mortgage. This &C
quirement of the needed money by
the hitherto "baby" of the family,
lift him into the confidence and ad-
niration of his elders, and he is
given his proper place along side of
them in the home. His love affair
with comedy maiden who proves to
be real helpmeet, is especially ap-
pealing. The play also has a we'll
sustained interest and suspense.
Milton Byron. leading man with
the Berkell Players for several sea-
sons, will be seen as Junior Atkins,
the young veterinary, and Miss Jean
Oliver will play opposite him. The
play opens tomorrow night and will
be seen throughout the week with
matinees, as usual, on Wednesday,
Thursday and Saturday afternoons.

"Rain" tells of the stay on a South
Sea island of group OF persons
nnarooned together in small hotel
because their ship cannot sail at the
expected time.
There are the missionary and his
wife, whose business it is to save
souls; the doctor and his wife, whose
views are broader and more toler-
ant, and Sadie Thompson, from
America, a lady of the evening who
is fleeing a sentence in the peniten-
tiary. The minister undertakes his
program of reform on the girl and
succeeds in convincing her of the
error of her ways.
It develops, however, that quite
unintentionally on his part, he has
become more interested in saving
her person than her soul. His evan
selical work with her develops into
an emotion, and the night before
sadie is to be deported as an unde-
sirable, he tells her that he cares
for her. The following morning the
missionary kills himself, and Sadie,
aGNfirst intent on going the ROAD 10
damnation, finds solace in the love

81 Ann Davis will return to the
company at Keith's in the role OF
the sensuous, pleasure-loving, ire
sponsible Sadie Thompson. Mckay
Morris will have the leading male
role and the cast will include Mar
garet Douglass, France Bendtsen,

dentally will mark Miss Davis fare
well appearance of the summer, as
she will return to New York after
next week to commence rehearsals

George Kelly's well-known play,
"The Show-Off," will be the attrac-
ton to follow Rain at Keith's
theater. Charm" with Elizabeth
Patterson of the original cast, is
another play that the Stuart Walker
Company has scheduled for early
