STATE EDITORS
VOTE APPROVAL
OF SEAWAY PLAN
61ST ANN UAL CONVENTION
CLOSES WITH ELECTION OF
OFFICERS; "VIN" WEBER is
MADE PRESIDENT.

A resolution approving the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway was
unanimously adopted by the Mime
sofa Editorial association in the final
session of the sixty-first annual con-
vention of that body in ST. Paul Sat-
urday. Other resolutions adopted
were those urging support of the
University farm editors short course,
declaring the need of greater effici-
ency in cleaning seed grain, request
lng aid for the bill now in congress to
discontinue the government printing
of envelopes at low cost, and urging
the reduction of the second class pos
tage rates.
A resolution commencing the Nc
Nary bill and requesting the President
to sign it, brought about heated dis
cussion. The resolution was passed,
but not until strenuous opposition had
been offered it. Rudolph Lee of Long

was unjustified because it did not
represent the opinion of the more than
800 other editors in the state not

Vol and Wollism Must Go

also claimed that John Sullivan.
President of the State Federation of
Labor was not in accord with it
either. AS delegates Prechtl, of the
Brewery Workers Union, Donnelly
of Pressmen's Union No. 81, and
Lefkowitz Of the Teachers Union we'll
pointed out, the infamous Woll letter
practically calls upon the police to
use their clubs more viciously against
the workers. The eyes of the honest
elements in the trade union move
ment have been opened to the full
significance of the situation by the
statement quoted from Police Com
missioner Warren, who asked how
A. F. of L. strikers could be dis
tinguished from others.
Under the cloak of fighting the
y COMMUNISTS, Woll demands that
the police be called upon to smash
the heads of striking workers. I'm
der the cloak of fighting the Reds,
he takes the lead in establishing a
precedent whereby the police may
with IMMUNITY beat up and assault
workers on the picket lines. He has
thus clearly and indisputably placed
himself in opposition to the aims
and principles of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, which has consis-
tently stood for the right to strike
and picket. There is room in the
American Federation of Labor for
differences of opinion on many ques-
tions. But there is no room in that
organization for a scoundrel, who
uses his official position, to stab the
labor movement in the back. Let us
hope that the last meeting of the
New York Central Trades and Labor
Council will mark the beginning OF
determined fight on the part of the
progressive forces in that body
against the menace of Woll and
Wollism.

Young Workers Gladly
Hail COmrade Crouch,
Released From Prison
By FRED HARRIS.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.-A
rousing welcome was given on Fri
day night by the Young Workers
League and the local branch of the
international Labor Defense to Paul
Crouch, recently released from the
U. S. Disciplinary Barracks at AL
catraz Island, San Francisco Bay.
A spontaneous crowd of some three
hundred comrades and friends, in
formally assembled, greeted Comrade
Crouch with laundering applause as
he took the speakers stand to relate
his experiences in Honolulu as a SOL
der in the American ARMY. He dealt
with the causes for his arrest, the
court martial trial and subsequent
conviction to serve a prison sentenc
of 35 years, which sentence was la
at the tremendous demand, Of
American working class, redr
two years.
His Imprisonment at Alca
land was briefly described b.
at the end of which he mad
ing appeal to all class conscio
ers to rally behind the Intern
Labor Defense and to enlist
tive fighters in the battle ag
capitalism.
Comrade Crouch appears to b
good healthy condition both n
tally and physically, is full Of
pectantcy and anticipation, and lool
forward to the victory of the worl
ing class when production for prof
will have ceased and with the work
ers in the control Of the machinery
of production, the factories and shops
will be run for the use Of the toilers
and when parasitic capitalists will
be in prison instead Of the workers.
Paul Crouch, together with Walter
Trumbull, both privates in the U. S.
Army, stationed at Honolulu were
arrested in 1925, for being members
Of the Young Workers League and
for having disseminated Communistic
literature among their fellow soldiera.s

By BERT MILLER.

THE meeting of the Central Trades
and Labor Council last night ex-
pressed a rising revolt against a
plague which is eating the very
heart out of the American Labor
movement. Delegate after delegate
denounced the tactics of Matthew
Woll, McGrady & Co. The keynote
of the session, expressing the general
sentiment of the assembled dele
gates and the New York Labor Move
ment as a whole, was struck by ex-
Senator Martin Lacey, of the Team
sters' Union, who said, "do we want
McGrady or Vol to wreck our labor
movement"
1t has long been evident that the
policy Of Matthew Vol, who has
completely disassociated hims e f
practically and ideologically from
the fundamental aims and purposes
of the labor movement, can only
bring ruin to the trade union move
ment. Woll has lost the will to fight
for even the most elementary de-
mands Of the workers. He is
thoroughly soaked through with the
spirit of the National Civic Fedora
ton and the employers, whom he
represents in the labor movement.
If this were not true, it is incon-
ceivable how he could have the down.
right brazenness to demand that
members Of the American Federation
of Labor, should trample under foot
it's time honored traditions, by calling
upon the police to attack peaceful
strikers, as he did in his circular
letter to the local unions.

THIS suicidal policy aroused the re-
sentiment OF even the most mild
and conservative elements in the
central body. The Vol letter. and
policy was repudiated by Joseph
Ryan, the president Of the body, who

What the Daily Worker
Means to the Workers
More Encouraging Contributions
to Our Emergency Fund.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, June IL.
The Workers Party forum comes
to assistance of The DAILY
WORKER.
That The DAILY WORKER is dear
to the hearts of the militant workers
had a novel verification at the Sun
day evening forum conducted by the
Workers Communist Party on June
18th.
During the discussion period follow
ing the speech of Edgar Owens on
American Policy in China, comrade
j. Bacchus stated that the only au-
thentic source Of information on the
Chinese situation was The DAILY
WORKER and that since The DAILY
WORKER was facing great financial
difficulties at this time, something
should be done about it and that he
had Five Dollars that he wished to
send in. The response from the
crowd was immediate and the spon-
taneous collection amounted to $1,000.
This followed the regular forum col
lection.
