Cricket in Samoa

APIA. Samoa, May 15--The Amer
lean governor of Samoa has issued
arbitrary orders to the native popu-
lation to curtail its attendance at
cricket games. II is alleged by the
government that the work in the
fields is hindered by the Samoans de-
sire to occasionally take week off
and attend inter country matches.
Cricket was introduced to the island
ers thirty years ago, and is well
liked. But the new American rulers
are efficient business man and want
production.

BROPHY BURNS UP
LEWIS IN REPORT
TO DISTRICT TWO
Shows Effect of Rule
and Ruin in Union

DUBOIS, Pa, May 15.-In one Of
the ablest analyses of the miners
situation yet published, John Brophy,
former President of District 2, has re-
leased his text of his report to the
membership Of his union.
Delivered before the district con-
vention in session here, the report
struck panic into the Lewis-Murray-
Marks crowd. President Marks ap-
pealed TO Indianapolis for the big
chief himself to rush to Dubois TO
steam the tide of pro-Brophy senti-
ment created by his great defense of
his activities as district president.
Lewis dispatched Vice President
Phil Murray from Pittsburgh, who
easily branded Brophy's report as
''lie" in heated two-hour speech.
AS soon as Murray had concluded,
progressives were on their feet seek
ing recognition, but Marks adjourned
the meeting amid indignant cries of
"steamroller"

DYNAMITE HOAX
FOES WORK IN
VANzETTI CASE
Defense Comm. Brands
Fake Story

BOSTON, May 15.-The dynamite
hoax blew up with loud bank today,
embarrassing its perpetrators, but not
multiplying the horrendous scareheads
in local newspapers.
The dynamite" was iuclosed in a
package directed to Governor Fuller,
who is considering a review of the
Sacco-Vaneztti case. Although no one
was ever able to identify the alleged
sender, he was described in local
newspapers and in press dispatches as
a "sympathizer" with the two work
ers condemned to death on July 10.
But the Sacco-Vanzetti Defense
Committee, in a statement made pub
lie today points out that the "dyna-
mite" has been destroyed, that there
is no evidence at all now that it ever
existed and asks whether the whole
incident is not an attempt to inflsme
public opinion.
Suspicious Fellow.
Chief Inspector Colvin, who an
nounced the dynamite find" with
great flourish, sent an open letter to
Governor Fuller last month in which
with great solicitude, he advised Full
Ter to take precautions against the
"reds" in case he decided against
Sacco and Vanzetti.
The defense committees statement
reads:
"The Sacco-Vanzetti defense COM
mittee views the act of placing dyna-
mite in Gov. Fuller's mail with pro-
found suspicion. We ask the public
to scrutinize this and similar acts

ANTI-STRIKE BILL
CLOAK TO ATTACK
U.S.S.R. TOMSKY


MOSCOW, May 9 (Delayed). u
The British anti-strike bill is a de-
vice of the die-hards to crush the
workingclass Of England and free its
hands for its anti-Soviet and anti
Chinese policy, declared NJ. Tomsky,
chairman of the All Union Central
Council Of Trade Unions in an inter
view today
The bill practically means the aboli-
ton of strikes, boycotts and picket
ing and is an abrupt departure from
the fundamental traditions Of British
labor and transition toward fascism.
Scores Right Wingers.
The general council and the leaders
of the Labor Party, Tomsky said,
made a big mistake when they re-
jected the proposition of a general
strike, limiting their struggle entirely
to parliamentary methods. This, he
said, is a tantamount remuneration of
the struggle. Instead of rallying all
forces of the workingclass to fight
the bill, the general council, as be-
fore, is batting the Communist and
minority movements.
The general council and the Labor
Party fails to take into consideration,
Tomsky continued, that the passage
Of the bill will weaken their party
and cause their defeat in the pending
elections.
The British labor movement must
start a struggle against the bill if
it is going to survive, Tomsky said.

Or April 18th The DAILY WORK
Err started the publication of this
series of articles calling attention to
the fraudulent practices INDUCED in
by the Metropolitan, Prudential, John
Hancock and the Colonial Life Insur-
ance Companies.
Among the charges made in the
series was that the 100000 policy
holders who are insured in these COM
panies are hopelessly overcharged,
that the direction of these corpora
tions was in the hands of a gang Of
Wall Street brigands, that the De-
partment Of Insurance, which is sup
posed TO guard the interests of the
policyholders, actually works in such
a manner to aid and abet this fraud.

Another member of the Military
Order of the World War, Lieutenant
Colonel George F. Ames, commander
of the Buffalo chapter, according to
a story in the Buffalo Evening News
of May 20, 1924, "called the Women's
International League for Peace and
Freedom aligned with radicals"
In his letter to The DAILY WORK
er, Captain Darte also objects to an
advertisement in the paper which
states that he and Mr.. Seitz, the "re-
search worker" of the Keymen of
America "are paid agents of business
interests" who twill collect many
thousands of dollars from employers
throughout the country"
Hate Publicity on Funds.
Why Captain Darte should raise
such an objection when he flaunts the
letterhead he does, is hard to explain
except that "radical-hunters" hate
publicity, except about their prospec-
tive victims. According to the sta
tionery of the Military Order of the
World War, it lists among it's officers
and general staff men who represent
traction interests, railroads, electric
light and power companies, the Mel
Ion interests, coal, iron, insurance, as
well as the powerful political inter-
ests of the country. Certainly he is
expecting to get, and does get, money
from all these sources.
The list of officers displays an
amazing number of colonies, major
generals, majors, brigadier generals
and what-nots. A large proportion of
them are men over sixty, some of
whom are died-in-the- army men;
some of whom never got nearer the
army than swivel chair in Wash
ington during the war. "Major"

to be in revolt.
Although the cause of the upris-

attributed to general dissatisfac-

Rumors circulated in Manila
describe the rebels as followers of
Flor Intrencherado, the Filipino,
who has proclaimed himself as

There is widespread dissatis-
faction here as result of the an

British Bayonet Worker.


HANKOW, May 10 (delayed) In
spite of the provocation of yesterday
incident in which a Chinese laborer
on the wharf of the British concession
was bayoneted by British sailor, La
Dor circles here are taking every
measure to preserve calm and to pre-
vent any trouble arising between Ia
borers and British marine forces along
the Bund (waterfront).
In Nationalist circles here it is
stated that this is an example of the
type of provocation which has been
repeatedly occurring in China during
the past hundred years. Until the re-
cent development of the Nationalist
movement, with the growing deter
mination on the part Of the Chinese
people to wrest justice and fair treat
ment to the Chinese as individuals
from the personal representatives of
the powers in China, this type of pro-
vocation had been frequently allowed
to pass unchallanged. AS a result
this long history of never effective
ly challenged insult by the powers to
China, with the arrogance of foreign
ers in China, has been yearly aug
mented until recently it has been felt
by many foreigners in China that any
kind of abuse of or attack upon China
or the Chinese was permissible, and
any manifestation of resentment, re-
sistance, or retaliation on the part of
the Chinese has merely called for fur
Their aggressions and insult on the
part of foreigners.
Constant PrOvocatiOn.
Nationalist circles here are con-
WINGED that the present incident will
be handled satisfactorily by negotia-
tions with the British authorities in
Hankow, but they point out that it is
this type of incident which is daily
adding to the constant provocation of
the presence of armed foreign forces
in China and rendering the preserva-
tion of peace in China daily more diff
ficult.

$17,OOO,OOO WORTH OF
NASH STOCK Is OWNED
BY NASH EMPLOYEES

Seventeen million dollars worth
employees of the company! This
was revealed yesterday and it was
pointed out that none of this stock
includes that owned by the direct
ing heads of the company. Prac-
tically every foreman in the Nash
plants and hundreds of men who
work on the BENCH" including
many salaried employees, those en-
ployed on a time basis and those
employed on the basis of piece
work, are included among the COM
pany's stockholders.
These members of the great
Nash Motors organization, most Of
whom work on the actual produc-
ton of the car itself, have a pri-
mary interest in the success of the
company and in the quality of the
product they are building.
1t is pointed out that while at no
time has an employee of the Nash
Motors Company been urged to buy
stock, the officers and other direct
ing heads of the organization have
been pleased with the habits of
sound living and thrift which have
made possible the purchase of most
of the $17,0OO,O0 worth of stock
on the part of employees. Ever
since the Nash Motors Company
was organized, over ten years ago,
c. w. Nash and his associates, have
encouraged the purchase of homes
and habits of thrift.
The employees have a club at
each of the company's plants for
social athletic activities. Member
ship to these clubs is popular, the
clubs comprising about 80 per cent
