CHARGE BRITISH
MISSION HEADED
SPYING IN USSR
Ogpu Cites Evidence of
Tory Espionage

MOSCOW, Oct. 19.-That members
of the British Mission which remained
to represent the British government
until after the ARGOS raids in Moscow,
we're engaged in wholesale espionage
is the charge made in a statement
issued by Ogpu (Soviet political po-
lice) to the Soviet press yesterday.
"From the outset of their arrival
in Moscow certain members of the
British Mission, utilizing their Dip
lomatic immunity carried on spy work
to collect information as to the Red
Army and the fleet and the aviation
industry. There fell into the hands OF
Ogpu correspondence between the
head of the mission, Robert Hodgson
and Consul Preston at Leningrad, of
which various extracts have been
read by Rykoff to the Moscow Soviet.
"The most active collaboration of the
head of the British Mission" the
statement continues, "was Secretary
E. Y. Charnock, who recruited spies
among the employees of the war de-
partment. The accused admitted
means whereby Charnock compelled
waverers to work for English military
intelligence. To one of them he said:
NO one can refuse espionage, be-
cause the British arm is long and pow
erful and can punish not only the
unwilling recruit, but his relatives"
Expect More Revelations.
Startling revelations of British es-
pionage are expected at the trial of
five White Russians before the mill
tary section of the High Court within
two or three days.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19-This city

ing to William Green, president of

C0YLE SPEAKS TO
REPORTERS, TELLS
OF USSR SUCCESS
Will Address Big Meet
at Garden" Sunday

Albert F. Coyle, secretary of the
unofficial Trade Union Delegation to
Russia, who will speak at the huge
Madison Square Garden mass meet
ing Sunday, told New York newspa-
permen yesterday the story of the
delegations journey to the U. S. S.
r.
Coyle met the newspapermen at
the Yale Club, Vanderbilt Ave. and
44th st.
"The Soviet Union is a workers
government whether you like it or
not" Coyle said.
New York labor at 2 p. m. Sunday
will hear the findings of the delega-
tion in one of hte largest mass meet
ings ever held at the Garden. The
speakers will include James Maurer,
president of the Pennsylvania State
Federation of Labor; John Brophy, of
the United Mine Workers of America;
Coyle, former editor of the Locomo-
tive Engineers Journal; Frank Pal
mer, editor of the Colorado Labor
! Advocates; Paul Douglas, expert on
industrial relations, University Of
Chicago, and Tim Healy.
Free To Criticize.
"The workers of Soviet Russia have
full freedom to criticize the officials
Of the government" Coyle continued
in his address to newspapermen. "In
fact, they do it daily. Thousands Of
worker correspondents write letters
complaining about various situations
they are not pleased with.
"The workers living in the Soviet
Union have more economic freedom
than the workers in any other coun-
try on the face of the earth.
"The workers pay no rent or very
little. Ten per cent of the profits of
all government trusts go toward the
building of new homes for the work
ers. In the oil industry, 30 per cent
of the profits are used for building
new dwellings for the workers. In
Moscow, 72,000 workers are living in
homes built recently by the coopera-
tives."
Spikes Green's Gossip.
Coyle told his hearers, William
Green, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor had been spreading
q story to the effect that the labor
delegation had received "S50,000 from
Moscow" to pay the expenses of the
delegation. "Green has a diseased
mind" Coyle said,
The secretary of the delegation said
instead many of the members of the
delegation paid their own expenses.

MASSES
BEAT REACTION,
SAYS RIVER A
Mexican Communist On
Way to Soviet Russia

Diego Rivera, Communist leader
and the most noted of all present-day
artists of Mexico, who sailed last
night from New York by special in
vitation to attend the Tenth Ami
versary celebrations of the Russian
revolution at Moscow, gave The
DAILY WORKER an interview on
the revolt of reactionaries led by
Gomez and Serrano, which he says
has been successfully defeated by the
masses of workers and peasants of
Mexico.
"The uprising was crushed so ra-
pidly and spread so little" said
Rivera, because the laboring masses
of the country workers and peasants
were unanimous in opposing the
counter-revolution In many places
they terrorized the military officials
who wanted to revolt and where up
risings occurred the peasants them
selves without aid Of federal forces
in most places cut little rebel bands
to pieces.
Would Take Away Land.
Gomez and Serrano had issued
declarations in the campaign that
even the little land which the Obre-
gon and Gales government had dis
tributed would be taken back. This
determined the imposing unanimity
with which the peasant-worker
masses opposed Serrano and Gomez
and supported the government
against the conference.-the in spite
of their deep grievance against it.
"The Communist Party under
stands that the workers and peasants
are not yet sufficiently well organized
and developed to conduct separate
electoral campaign with their own
candidates. They saw on one side
the petty bourgeoisie trying to de-
velop an economy independent Of for
eign imperialism.
"These efforts of the petty-bour-
geoisie are feeble. 1t is easily ter
rified 1t compromises, vacillates.
But still it makes some effort and
needing the support Of peasants and
workers made some concessions to
them.
"On the other side are lined up for
eign Imperialism, especially oil, and
the landowners and church. Gomez
and Serrano represented these reac-
tionary forces.
"Obregon and Gales represent the
petty-bourgeoisie with its weaknesses
and forced and sometimes too ready
concessions to American capital on

SHERIFF TRIES
TO CONFISCATE
STRIKERS FOOD
More Out in Colorado;
Eighteen Arrested

TRINIDAD, Colo, Oct. 19.-With
the entire Ignite field of Colorado
tied up by the coal miners strike,
ana with more men walking out ev-
cry hour, the business interests here
began today the arresting of l. W. w.
speakers and active strikers.
The 1. w. w. issued the call for the
strike. In retaliation, the sheriff of
Las Animas county has arrested
eighteen men who are held in jail
here without charges filed against
them. The strike committee contends
that such an arrest is highly illegal
and has retained an attorney to try
and get them out.
Starvation Tactics.
Reports that the strike committee
was importing four carloads of food
to Walsenburg, Colo, were investi-
gated by Sheriff Harry Capps, Of
Walsenburg, who has boasted to busi-
ness men interested in the strike that
he will permit no striker to eat in this
vicinity if stopping the food supply
will do it. To cover the illegal seizure
of foodstuffs evidently contemplated,
a rumor that number of rifles are
concealed in the cars is being indus
triously circulated.
Great Mass Meetings.
The strike is practically complete
in the northern fields, where only one
mine is reported working, and that
very slowly, today. Over 1000 men
are out here. In the southern fields
the men are coming out constantly,
their nlmbers being estimated at four
or fiy thousand.
A meeting was held at Lafayette
last night in which 1000 strikers as
sembled and declared their willing
ness to fight on to the end. 1t is
planned to start relief after about
two weeks time.
