Fight to Still Demand

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. - The
unprecedented raids on the Soviet en-
bassy compound in Peking, instigated
by Great Britain early this year, were
brought up with the receipt by the
State Department of series of five
pamphlets under the heading of
"Soviet Plot in China" purporting to
contain photostatic copies of "docu-
ments" alleged to have been seized
in the raids.

British Propaganda.
The five pamphlets received here
are regarded as part of the vast in
ternational propaganda campaign
that is being conducted against the
Soviet Union by the British tory gov
ernment.
The growing demand for The rec
ognition of the Soviet Union in this
country has led the British to intens-
ify their propaganda campaign. The
distribution of the pamphlets, which
are issued in English, is regarded as
the work of British propagandists.

100 FIRMS BRE AK
TRUCK CO. 'FRONT.';
Yield TO UNION
100 More Independents,
Also Grant Demands

Two hundred more firms have sur
rendered to the demands of the strik-
ing truckmen and signed agreements
with them yesterday. One-half of this
number are independent concerns and
the rest are members of the Mer-
chants Trucking Association. In set
ting with the union the latter have
therefore violated the policy outlined
by the bosses at the beginning of the
strike.
At the same time serious efforts
were made yesterday morning to re-
cruit strikebreakers in an attempt to
move the enormous amount of freight
which has piled up since the 1000
truckmen walked out early Wednesday
morning. These attempts met with
little success, however, the bosses as
sociation admitting that the situation
was still acute.
Workers Win Demands.
AS a result Of union victories thus
far, nearly 1900 workers have re-
turned to their jobs under new con-
tracts which call for an average wage
increase of S. week, $1.20 an hour
for overtime, and an eight-hour day.
The strike now threatens to spread
to New Jersey. This became clear
when the United States Trucking
Company which employs nearly 500
men in handling the freight in the
Erie Railroad yards in Jersey City, in
the strike move, began
bringing in strikebreakers to sleep in
"dormitories" arranged for them in
the yards. 4

headquarters, in the Woolworth Build
ing, the bosses association announced
that they had hired jim Waddell,

begin recruiting scabs at once.

DiSillusiOned Veteran
Finds L'Humanite Reds
Beardless and Decent"

PARIS, Sept. Q. - A lonesome
Ohio Legionnaire who rejoices in
the name of Ovid Daily, has in
vented a system all his own with
which he proposes to overcome the
boycott of contempt, the Gordon
sanitaiFe, that the F~eael workers
have thrown around the upholders
of the murder of Sacco and Van
zetti. Whenever Ovid, who is Off
cially reported to be oftenest found
in the tough districts of Paris,
meets man who won't speak to
him, he takes him into a cafe and
buys I'm couple of drinks. But
some cf them are very hard to con-
vince" says Daily ruefully.
Daily paid visit to the offices
of L'Humanite recently in order to
explain to the few editors whom
the French government has not yet
thrown into Jail just where Marx
went wrong. Daily was a militant
revisionist when he entered the Of
flee but the firm courtesy of the
editors calmed him and. as the
phrases Of his broken French es-
capped between hiccups, he sank
back into his chair and everything
seemed rosy in the light of those
two suns which he distinctly saw
floating over Paris.
Asked how he was received by
the terrible reds, Ovid Daily de-
MED they had long boards, "They
are decshent fellowsh," he is re-
ported to have said, II wash look
ing for trouble but l found them
willing to lishten to me. They did
not shee my way but l am going
back tomorrow"
Daily has been making daily vis-
it's to the office of L'Humanite in
his efforts to find some one in
Paris who will talk to him.

government OF the United States has
in recent times become increasingly
V9en and aggressive in it's attacks
upon the Chinese revolution, upon
Nicaragua, Mexico and the oppressed
peoples of other parts of the world.
The convention faced also the
problem of terminating long period
of inner struggle which had weak
ened the Party's effectiveness for
coping with it's tasks.
The Central Executive Committee
is able to report that meeting under
these circumstances, the Fifth Con-
vention of the Workers (Communist)
Party proved to be of such character
as adequately to meet the difficulties
and tasks that the situation and the
needs of the party set for it. The de-
bates were on a high political level,
of a constructive character and of
great concreteness in analyzing and
solving the problems of the Party.
Altho there were some few moments
when old differences tended to sharp
en- the debate, at no time did the dis
cussion assume sharply factional
character, and the general progress
towards unity and the atmosphere of
the convention was such as to over
come these difficulties in construc-
tive way.

Unification of the Party.
In the matter of the consolidation
of the Party and the unification of
its ranks, the Fifth Convention marks
an epoch in the development of Party
inner life. 1t is the elimination and
end of long period of gradually les
sening factional controversy. With
the CT decision, the agreement, the
pre-convention and convention discus
sions and decisions, the basis for
unified party has been completed,
political differences reduced to a
minimum such as is normal to any
party, the organizational forms of
factionalism abolished by unanimous
agreement, and the Party stands now
before the task of eliminating the
last vestiges of factional spirit which
no longer find justification in the
Party situation, To this end the 1ol-
