Mcdonald Embarrassed
By Labor Leaders Aid
To Pilsudsky's Victims

LONDON, Feb. 13.-Ramsay Mac
Donald, leader of the independent la
Dor party, has suffered great embar-
rassment over the activity of a dele
cation of four members of the labor
party who recently visited Poland, os-
tensibly to make an impartial in
vestigation, but were accused upon
their return of having carried on Com
munistic work while in Poland.
Two members of the delegation, A.
Shepherd and J. Beckett, both Labor
M. P.'s, applied through Macdonald
to the Polish minister in London for
facilities to study conditions in Po-
land, which were readily given to them
on MacDonald's recommendation.
They are alleged to have lent aid and
relief to workers in Pilsudsky's pris-
ems.
Macdonald is said to be Infatuated
about this alleged breach of conf
cience, and will try to have the two
men expelled from the labor party.

nesday, Feb. Is, 8 p. M, at Old Ma
sonic Cathedral.
Communist lecturers will find the
ground partially prepared by a de-
bate which District Organizer /.
Ampter held here with Major B. f.
Dukewell a few weeks ago, on the
question: as the Communist Program
a Necessity for Human Progress ?"
Shows Contradictions.
Ampter told Of the inherent con-
tradictions in capitalism, described
the League of Nations function in the
modern world as a predatory but in
effective weapon for capitalism, and
pointed out the use the capitalist lead
ers make Of such anti-social activities
as war, the Ford speed-up system, and
deliberate unemployment TO keep
themselves in power.
Nothing New.
The major provided the usual, and
ancient, arguments that capitalism is
fine, and only needs a little reform
ing, that Communism is likely to keep
people from working rs hard as they
should, and that Russia is a horrible
place, which last point he blostered
up with quotations from white guard
and renegade socialist books.

PEONAGE RESULTS
IN FIVE men BEING
JAILED IN TEXAS
Local Officials Helped

Especial to The Daily Worker.)

NSpecial 10 Inc Dauy WOTkeTJ
CORPUS CRISTI, Texas, Feb. Is
Five local officials were convicted
by a jury in the federal court here
on the charge Of peonage resulting
from the hiring Of young men to
cotton farmers thru arrest for vag-
rancy.
The case grew out Of the exper
fence of Leonard Swanson, 10, a
Washington D. c. college student
who was roped in by the local police
authorities in collaboration with the
cotton farmers and forced to work TO
pay "debts" that he did not owe.
II came down from Washington
last summer to visit chum Allen Nj
chols, at Galveston" Swanson testi-
fled. Later we went to Houston.
Zone day we got an opportunity
from labor agent on the street to
go down to the Rio Grande Valley
to pick cotton and we decided to ac-
cept. There were 50 Of us in the car
that night. We got off the next
morning at Lyford and went out to
farm owned by a man named Mr..
johnson.
Left First Farm.
eve discovered that instead of
getting $125 per hundred and room
and board, that we would have to
pay board and room extra. We had
no place to sleep except in a shack,
SO that afternoon about o'clock we
decided to leave. There were five
of u.s."
about two miles beyond Lyford a
car drove up and Deputy Hargrove
stopped US and said we were going
for a ride"
''Did he tell you why you were ar
rested?"
HE said we owed Mr.. Johnson
$7S5, and we told him we did not
owe him anything because conditions
were not as represented in the
agents talk to US"
Must Work For Debt.
The boy then recounted how he
was placed in Jail that night, with
out food, and that the next morning,
after black coffee and cornbread,
they were taken downstairs to JUS
tice Dodd's office in the court house
at Raymondville.
'Who was there ?"
County Attorney Robinson and
several deputies"
''What was done?"
"The justice said if we worked
that $3.50 off everything would be
all right, but if we did not we would
be fined $13.7O apiece for vagrancy."
Swanson and others were then sent
to work for a certain Mr.. Burnett.

Lawrence Mill Owners
And Mayors Committee
Confer Without Result
By SAMUEL RRAMHAIL.

LAWRENCE, Mass, Feb. 1.-THE
conference of mill-men and the Lawr-
ence special industrial commission
took place here with the unsatisfac-
tory results that We're foretold in this
paper about week ago. The public
was allowed at the meeting, but given
no chance to take part in the proceed
ings. Edwin Farnum Greene. treas
urer of the Pacific Mills was the only
one that spoke at great length. while
the representatives Of the American
Wooden Company and other miner
concerns spoke very briefly.
Issue Lost Sight OF.
The strange part Of the whole pro-
ceedings was that the manufacturers
entirely ignored the purpose Of the
meeting, for they neither complained
Of their tax burden, the hours of la
Dor, nor did they even admit that
there was any depressions so far as
they were concerned.
Mayor Expectant.
Mayor Rochefort and his commits
sion were all primed up to listen to
these giants Of industry divulge some
great plan for improving business and
filling up the thousands of idle tene-
ments and empty stores that exist
here. Instead, they were told to try
and run the city's affairs more eco
nomically and to hire an efficiency
expert, if deemed advisable.
After two hours of hemming and
having, some person out Of the audi
ence attempted to address them, but
he was choked off by the mayor and
the meeting adjourned with nothing
more coming out Of it than has just
been stated The mountain laborel
and brought forth a mouse.
