A vigorous onward swing Of rail-

the clash Of powerful financial in
terests in a number Of the important
transportation and manufacturing en-

Reports, rumors and Official de-

CENTRAL AMERICA
RAPS U. S. POLICY
AS PEACE BREAK

WASHINGTON, (FP)-May 27.-
Central American legations in Wash
ington have been officially notified
by their governments that a resolu-
ton charging that the United States
violated the Central American stabil-
ity treaty of 1923 when it recognized
Adolfo Diaz as president Of Nicara-
qua, was adopted at a meeting of the
foreign ministers Of Salvador, Hon.
duras, Guatemala and Costa Rica, in
San Salvador on May "a. The spokes-
men for Honduras and Salvador
promised to consider steps for with
drawing the recognition given by
their governments to Diaz after
Secretary Kellogg had declared Diaz
the constitutional president Of Nicara-
qua.
Guatemala and Costa RIGA have re-
fused to recognize Diaz. They have
sympathized with the attempt Of the
elected government led by Sacasa to
restore its authority which was over
thrown by the Chamorro military
coup Of 1925. Foreign Minister
Guerra Of Salvador told the meeting
that he felt that he should bring the
matter before the League Of Nations,
since Diaz was the beneficiary Of the
Chamorro coup. The treaty Of 1923
bound the Central American countries
to refuse recognition to any regime
set up as the result of unconstitu-
tional action.
Secretary Kellogg's reply to this
Central American condemnation is a
renewal Of his claim that Diaz had
nothing to do with Chamorro's acts.
He ignores the long years Of close
political partnership between the two
men beginning when American troops
set Diaz in power in 1910.

Keymen, together with the represen-
tatives Of some other patriotic" or
CARNATIONS had joined in a conspiracy
to crush The DAILY WORKER by
getting its editors jailed and depriv-
ing the paper of its mailing privileges
has now become quite clear.
In backing their case against the
paper, the two paid stool-pigeons of
the labor-hating organizations parad-
ing under the guise of patriotic
societies had submitted as "evi-
dence" copies Of the issue containing
the poem America" the wrappers in
which they were mailed, the address
labels, etc.
Aim to Crush Paper.
The Military Order of the World
War has been taking the lead in the
attempt to throttle The DAILY
WORKER. This organization has
been engaged for the past few years
in attacking pacifists, liberals, and
humanitarians like Jane Adams,
charging that they were guilty of
"radicalism.

which has dared to pit its strength
against the billions of the "Big Four.
1t is the only paper in America which
dared to challenge the right of the in
surance looters to swindle and defraud
40 million worker-policyholders.
Letters have been coming into the
offices of the paper praising it for
its stand in this and similar matters.
But letters of praise are not enough.
Ranged against The WORKER
stands the massed strength of Wall
Street and its satellites.
Now is the time for the rooters for
The DAILY WORKER to come to its
aid.
Victims Should Aid.
] make a direct appeal to the policy
holders and agents of the "Big Four
to dig down and send us every dollar
they can spare to aid us in the de-
Tense Of our paper.
If the WORKER is downed, the
right wingers and labor baiters will
take on new lease of life. The old,
dreadful days of Palmer and Burleson
will surely return.
We know that this attack on The
WORKER will prove abortive. Dunno
and Miller may go to Jail, but in their
places thousands Of vengeful workers
will spring to the colors.
Dig down, faithful" sons of Moth
er Metropolitan and Daddy Pru and
come across for the only paper which
has ever dared to champion your
rights.
Do it now!

Church immortality Is
ThTGShed Out In Two
Separate Trial Courts

ST. JOSEPH, Mich, May 81
Ecclesiastical immorulity is on the
upgrade as evidenced from news dis
patches from all parts of the country.
Mrs. Hansel testifying as the
states star witness in its suit to dis
solve the House Of David as an im-
moral and fraudulent institution, de-
clared that "King Ben" while posing
as Jehovah Coast devils" out Of her
when she was sick.
She further testified that when she
was ID years of age she was assault
ed by the messiah" under the guise
of the rites of the covenant.
News arrives from New Haven that
leaders of the Methodist Episcopal
Church met in secret session to hear
the appeal of Guy L. Holmes of New
Bedford for reinstatement as a min
lister of the church.
Holmes was disbarred as a minister
by the New England South Confer
ence in 1926. Holmes was recently
the defendant in an action brought
by Miss Antoinette Forth, waitress,
on charges of immortality.
1t is known that in San Francisco
the Presbyterians are engaged in hot
discussion on heresy and purging the
church of modernist tendencies.
DIR. Maehen, the central figure in
the controversy, is being charged by
his opponents with failure to en-
courage young men in their prepare

This papers exposures Of the Ma
tional Civic Federation, of the Insur-
Rnce Swindle, of the Traction Grab, its
fight against the right wing reac-
tionary, hierarchy, the fight against
militarism, Imperialism, invasion Of
China and Latin America, as well as
other issues in which the workers are
concerned, has stirred up the bitter
Tancor of these profiteers.
A False Issue.
They dared not bring action in court
challenging the truth of the Workers
assertions. They knew that as long
as the pitiless searchlight of The
Workers publicity beat upon them
the danger to their position became
more and more untenable.
A pretext was seized upon. A So
called unpatriOtic poem was printed
in recent issue of the paper. This
was made the issue for garrotting the
only fighting labor daily in New York
City.
The issue must not be befogged.
The reason that Dunno and Miller
find themselves in the Tombs today
is because of the fearless, fighting at
titude which their paper has taken in
all matters which vitality affect the
American worker.
The DAILY WORKER has been
waging a fight on behalf of the de-
frauded pOlieyholders of the "Big
Four" plunderbund. It has called for
the organization of the underpaid,
overworked industrial insurance
agent.

MaCRiniSt Council
Forced to Get Into
POIiSherS' Strike

CHICAGO, May 27.-The strike of
the Metal Polishers Local No. 6
against the Flexible Shaft Co., $500
West Roosevelt Road continues with
the company refusing to deal with
the union, and still employing a score
Of plug-uglies furnished by the metal
trades association and with Thomp-
sons police force being paid by the
company to help the finks break the
strike, the support given the Mayor
by the labor leaders Notwithstanding
The Chicago Flexible Shaft Co. has
dealt with the union the last II years,
but through the pressure from the
Metal Trades Association now refuses
even to deal with the Metal Trades
Council or the Chicago Federation of
Labor when the officers of these or
CARNATIONS attempt to bring about
a settlement.
Scabs, Police Fraternize.
The scabs are sharing their meals
with the policemen and private gun
men who are always at hand when
any struggle occurs in the metal in
dustry. The men affected by the
walkout are all highly skilled
mechanics and some of them have
been there Is years or more, conse-
quently the company is having a
hard time to keep up any real pro-
duction with scabs and is only sue
ceeding in bluffing the outside by
having the machinery run.
Other Crafts Not Unionized.
Unfortunately the other crafts are
not organized; the majority of the
workers being eligible to the machin-
lists union and very little effort is
being made to have all the united
forces modified against the company.
Due to the effort of the progressive
forces in the machinists' district coun-
Gil a resolution was adopted instruct
ing the machinists' officers to i'm
mediately take steps to begin an or
ganization campaign, bringing all the
specialists, machinists and tool and
diemakers into the union. The only diff
ficulty about carrying this policy into
effect is the sabotage of these Of
ficials, who have adopted a theory
that "it is of no use trying to fight
the metal trades association"
With the pressure from the rank
and file in the machinists' union they
can be forced to carry on a united
struggle which will insure the victory
of the metal polishers' union and force
the company to deal with the union
again.
The Flexible Shaft Company manu-
features the Sunbeam electric iron
and electric toaster, also the Cooper
& Steward sheep sheers and clippers.

BISHOP Halls
COMMUNISM AS
ENDER OF WAR
Noted Hereto Discusses
Chinese Situation

"The Chinese situation is the great
est crisis in ages" said Bishop Will
liam Montgomery Brown yesterday
afternoon in an interview with news
papermen before leaving for Webster
Hall to speak at the meeting arranged
for the relief Of the cloakmakers.
"When one discusses the Chinese
question" he said, "the shadow Of an
other world war rises before you, and
that is something horrible to think
about.
"The war on China is to keep down
the price of labor in that country"
When asked by a reporter what he
thot could be done about It, Bishop
Brown replied that 1--WE Communists
want a better world, but we can never
have it while we have classes. One
class has to give away. The unneces-
sary class, the capitalists should be
put out Of business"
The bishop told how it has been
his task in the past TO promise the
workers mansions in heaven when
they die, ''Pie in the sky" was the
way he termed IT,.
IL have done nothing useful for the
last 80 years." he continued, yet the
money rolls in. All Of It comes from
workers, with no worrying on my
part"
The bishop told briefly his ideas on
n religion that is based upon nature.
"a fact is a doing of nature" he said.
There are no facts except as a re-
suit Of nature. We are a part Of ma
ture, and we should make the most
Of It."

The news of the massacre spread

thruout southern China.

workers and peasants thruout the
Yangtse Valley will commemorate the
Shanghai massacre. If workers and
peasants above the Yangtse do not
commemorate May 30th they will only
be- prevented from doing so by Chang
Tso-lin, supported by the imperialist
powers.

MEXICO CITY, May 27-Two
hundred human skulls Of persons
tortured to death during the in
QUESTION in Mexico, are on exhibit

up by workmen who were excava-
ting near Santo Domingo church
and attracted a curious crowd Of
Thousands. The Catholic party is
vainly protesting against this sud-
den and timely proof of what their
kind of government meant in the
past. Mexican workers look at the
pile Of skulls, and say, "No wonder
