An International Case.
The Greco-Carillo case is rapidly

yesterday from the Greco-Carillo De-
Tense League and the International
Labor Defense.
Inquiries coming by mail to our
office at Is East 18th St., from Eng

the case indicate that it is acquiring
the significance of the Sacco-Van-

the defendant Greco and secretary of
the league, said.
/ Can Prove Frame-up.
While it appears that we have a
perfect case showing that the arrest
was frame-up planned by the Fas-
cist League of North America, it is
not good policy to be optimistic when
fighting the limitless resources of
the Italian fascist government, which
we have reason to believe are being
employed"

In Crowd Of 800 at
H0rthy Ceremony 80
Are New York Cops

Scenes at the laying of the corner
stone for the Louis Kossuth monu-
ment on Riverside Drive at 112th St
last Saturday showed a wide and deep
antipathy among New York workers
of Hungarian descent to the Horthy
fascist government of Hungary and
it's sprouts in this country, Hugo Gel
lert said in an interview yesterday.
Gellert, New York artist and asso-
ciate editor of the New Masses, who
recently returned from Europe, was
a speaker at meeting of the Anti
Horthy League of New York at York
Vile Casino later last Saturday after
loon.
Strong Police Guard.
"The sponsors of the ceremony at
the Kossuth statue expected fully
100000 sympathizers to turn out to
hear their speakers" Gellert said.
Between 40 and so police officers
were present. But the crowd did not
number more than $50, whereas be-
tween 400 and 500 assembled at the
later meeting of the Authority
League, though it was very hastily
planned.
THE resentment of the workers
against the Horthy white terror in
Hungary was greatly increased by the
action of the police at the Kossuth
statue in striking and strong-arming
peaceful sympathizers of the Anti
Horthy League who were passing out
pamphlets advertising their meeting.
Peasants Shot Down.
Everywhere in Europe outside of
Hungary I heard stories of the vi
cious way in which the Horthy gov
eminent is driving progressive work
ers, peasants and professional men
out OF the country. A typical story
was one in which Horthy's police shot
two peasants on his large estate who
mad the effrontery to ask for more
wages"
Inc Anti-Horthy League includes
members of the republican and demo-
cratic parties as well as the Workers
(Communist) Party because of its de-
sire to act in the broadcast possible
manner In enlightening progressives
In the United States as to the policy
OF the present Hungarian govern
ment, Lajos Kovess, secretary of the
League, said.

the city's transportation lines, the
right of the traction workers and of
all classifications Of labor to partici-
pate in subway management and for
the building of more subways.
The other amendments are rela-
lively unimportant and the workers
can vote yes on them. The same is
true OF the proposition regarding the
laws Of New York City. But mo-
should be the answer of all workers
to Amendments 4, and 6. In addi-
ton, all class-conscious workers
should vote against the candidates of
the democratic, republican and social
lst parties and for the candidates of
the Workers (Communist) Party"

Confessing that he identified as a
murderer a man he had never seen

tenant-governor, comptroller, state
attorney and state senators from 2
to years, and the terms of state as
semblymen from 1 to years, will
lessen what little Influence and pres
sure the workers can exert on their
state executive and legislative Off
GERS at present. Instead of governor
and state senators accounting to the
people every two years for their ac-
tions, this amendment will permit the
workers to vote but once in years
for these officers. The republicans
and democrats want more power for
government officials, longer terms of
office, less responsibility to the
masses of workers and farmers,
greater removal from the little pres
sure of the masses that exists at pres
ent.
Socialist Worship.
"Mr. Thomas of the S. P. justifies
his being in favor of the amendment
by stating that it will give the gov
eminent officials more time to get
acquainted with their work, will
therefore bring efficiency to the gov
eminent, that with the use of the re
call, abuse of power will be pre-
vented. 1t is needless to mention that
power of recall under capitalism is
useless, for the capitalist class with
its economic power, its control of
press, radio, ETC., can control public
opinion in manner beneficial to it
self. And the worship of the S. P.
for efficiency of government, for
short ballots, long terms, ETC., means
but greater attacks upon the workers
by the efficiency capitalist govern
ment, more injunctions, more police
brutality in strikes.
Would Defeat 4, and 6.
Amendments 4, and 6 should be,
defeated. Workers must oppose all
attempts of the capitalist class to
strengthen their political power
whether it be in the form of longer
terms for government agents of the
capitalist class, higher salaries for
state officials or direct centraliza-
ton.
"The only other amendment of
great Importance is No. 2, regarding
permission being given to New York
City to borrow $30O,0O0,0OO for the
construction or equipment of new
rapid transit railroads, such debts to
be excluded in computing its borrow
ing power. Though the Workers Par
ty knows that much of this $780,
100000 will be but a source of graft,
juicy contracts, etc., though the ques-
ton of union labor is disregarded in
the building or equipment of subways,
etc, though $3.50, 100000 of city mon
ey has been sunk into the private sub
way company which has never been
returned to the people of the city,
though fat salaries still go into the
pockets of the traction officials and
regular interest payments into the
vaults of the banks and bondholders,
yet in order to take away any pos
sible excuse from Tammany for the
hating of subway construction, all
workers should vote for the End
amendment.
For the Scent Fare.
This of course will not solve the
traction problem of New York City.
The workers of New York City must
fight for the right of the traction
workers to organize, for the main
tenance of the scent as against the
proposed 7-cent fare (the latter being
backed by the bankers, traction in

Labor Union Notes and News
"A Review of Local Trade Union Activities)
BY JOHN THOMPSON

AS l write this article the news
comes in over the wire that Bob
Wagner, Tammany United States
senator, will not act in the injunction
fight. His office stated that Senator
Wagner would only be able to attend
one case for the Federation and that
some other counsel would have 10 he
engaged "as his political work IN
Washington will demand most of his
time" This is in line with the silence
Of Al Smith, the evasiveness Of JIM
my Walker and an indication that the
democratic leaders are all set to put
skids under the Amalgamated and
throw them to the mercy Of the trac-
ton trust.
The case of the striking coal min
ers is to be given special attention
at a conference of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor in Pittsburgh or
Washington soon. As the coal situa-
ton directly affects President Green
since it is his own union, the u NJ
w. of A. is involved. I am hoping
that he will put ginger and pep into
the conference and get something
done to stop the outrages committed
daily by the thugs and gunner en-
ployed by the coal trust. The situa-
ton in Pennsylvania and Illinois is
bad. They are suffering from too
much coal and from too little demand
for it. Like the Welsh and English
golfers American miners are being
hit by progress, by the application OF
oil and electricity to industry and
shipping.
The craft character and the inher-
ent selfishness that is a part of all
craft unions shows itself in the with
drawal of the Bricklayer' Union from
the Building Trade Department as a
result of sectional quarrel with the
plasterers. There is only one way to
settle ali craft rows and end jurisdic-
tional quarrels in the building trades
and that is to combine them in indus
trial unions permitting the crafts to
retail teihr autonomy in routine and
inconsequential matters while fnnda-
mentals and matters of trade author
ity would be reserved for the local
industrial union. In this way all con-
tracts would expire on the same day
and conditions would tend toward uni
formity and sterilization Many un-
necessary craft unions could be
gradually eliminated by fusing them
together.
The international Longshoremen's
Association has lost its first strike
since pre-war days. Last week the
lighter captains employed in the
freight barges of the Harbor of the
Port of New York lost its demand for
$3.50 a week increase in pay This
group works under conditions that
can be scarcely called civilized, some
thing on a par with those obtaining
in the peonage camps Of the south
President Joseph P. Ryan, of the 1.
L. A. told the strikers that he would
back them up with the longshoremen
to the limit. He did not make good
his pledge, no doubt due to the fact
that his men on the docks were tied
up by contract recently signed.

1t is the duty of the entire labor
movement to bear in mind these three
things: to collect articles for the ba-
