railroads, the threat of wage cuts in
the steel industry-these and many
other facts have made it clear to large
sections of the workers that it is nee
essary to launch a real fight for the
existence of the labor movement"
Answer To Reaction.
''The obstacle to progress today
lies primarily in the reactionary of
ficialdom of the A. F. of L., who are
more openly than ever serving as
agents of the employers within the
ranks of labor. The recent A. F. of
L, convention in Los Angeles marked
the high point of reaction; it will be
the task of the T. U. E. L. Third Ma
-tsiiss-ss Confsrenee to give the answer
to reaction, to place before the work
ers of this country a real program of
struggle for progress, for the
strengthening of the unions, for ANAL
gamation, for the organization of the
unorganized, for fight against i'm
perialism, for democracy in the
unions, for a Labor Party, for fight
against class collaboration, for strug-
gle against the war danger, and for
world unity of the trade union move
ment." ''-.
1.-THE T. U.TE. L. unites all honest
progressive aid revolutionary work
ers who are rGady to fight for the re-
juvenation of the trade unions. We
have no political tests for member
ship, and our ranks include workers
of all shades of political thought as
well as those who are non-political.
In the T. U. E. L. we are work.
ing out a common organ of struggle
for all the forces of progress. The
splendid attendance promised for our
conference on Saturday shows that
the 7. U. F. L. has already estab-
lished itself as the center for the ris-
ing militant working class movement
in the United States"

American Indians Tell
Mayor Thompson of Few
Real Lies in Histories

CHICAGO, H., Dec. "A delega-
ton of American Indians called upon
Mayor Thompson of Chicago yester-
day and notified him that there was
some things in American school his
tory books much more important to
a person really seeking the truth
about past events than the alleged
prof. ritishisms he attacks.
The delegation stated that there
were no wars between Indians and
whites until the invading colonists
took over more and more of Indian
lands, that scalping was not practised
until the colonists began offering
prizes to mercenaries for the heads
of their foes, that the Black Hawk
war was the result of the settlers
attacking Black Hawk, and the Battle
of the Little Big Horn, called 1.-THE
massacre of Custer" was the result of
the violation by the frontiersmen Of
treaties made with the Indians.
Mayor Thompson had the Indians
perform vaudeville stunts, but prom
ised nothing.

ton with the flogging of two Holly
Springs youths four years ago.
Persons named in the indictments
H. G. Cuerard, former king

The indicted persons were charged
with secret assault and conspiracy.
LUVERNE, Ala, Dec. 1.-The At

K. X. juries for his first two trials
of Klansnen on charges of flogging
Negroes in Crenshaw county, and
corresponding acquittals, has asked
the court to throw out the rest of
the 102 indictments. There has been
for several days a noticeable cooling
down of the prosecutors heat against
his former associates in the K. K. X,
and political pressure is believed to
play a part in the change of plans.
The K. K. X. dominates Alabama
politics. Both the governor and the
attorney general were elected by the
khan, but the latter quarreled with

p CHICAGO, Dec. 2. - The political
pot was boiling here today following
a vitriolic speech delivered by Sena-
tor James A. Reed of Missouri be-
fore the Cook County Real Estate
Board. The high light of the address
was Senator Reeds denunciation of
Samuel insult for his alleged aid in
electing Frank L. Smith as senator
from Illirois.
Avoiding the mention of insult by
name the Missourar referred to him
as "the head of the public service cor
porations."
Also Assails Mellon.
Turning his guns upon Secretary
Mellon, Senator Reed declared that
Mellon put up $4,000 to the election
fund Of Senator George Wharton
Pepper.
Discussing the Teapot Dome case
and the nomination and election of
President Harding, Reed said he was
Convinced that not one-half the story
of the loot of the oil lands had been
told"

Social Problem Faces
Canada, United States

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. g.
While workers living in Canada who
have been earning their living in the
United States are angry at their ex-
clusion from their jobs in this coun-
try, the Canadian Legation and the
White House are in conflic..
1t isn't the border issue that is set
ting them agog, however, but-what
shall be done with Governor General
and Viscountess Wilmington, of Can
ada during the two hears of the An
nual White House Reception to the
Diplomatic Corps, Thursday EVENING"
Since Canada only rates as a lega-
ton, it stands at the bottom of the
list, and social arbiters of the White
House say that it is impossible to
place these great people at the end
of the line at the reception, behind
ministers of small republics
The Canadian visitors will be feted
practically every minute of the time
they will be in Washington, from II
a. m. Thursday until 10 a. m. Friday
but the State Department and the
Canadian Legation whose duty it is
to iron out these difficulties, find the
two hour interval a shocking snarl
in the red tape of social usage.

Fight War Danger.
Conscious of the war danger con-

will do its utmost to combat the eff
forts of American Imperialism to join
forces with Britain for joint attack
upon the socialist fatherland of the
working class. We are fully conf
dent of the ability of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union and its
feminist Central Committee to mobi-
lie and inspire the masses for de-
Tense of the Soviet Union.
Unity in the Communist Party of
the Soviet Union and unity in the
Communist international are basic
conditions for the defense and the
socialist growth of the Soviet Union
and for the growth of the world
Communist movement. Therefore
our Party urges the Fifteenth Con-
gress to stop finally the splitting
activities of the Trotzky-Zinoviev OPP
position and expel from the Party
forthwith all those who persist in the
opposition's reverting to Menshevism.

In games won the Cubs tied the Pi-
rates with mark of 80 by beating the
Giants yesterday, 4 to 3. The last 10
of those victories have been consecu-

have played two more games than the
Pirates and lost two more they are
still a few points behind them.

field at present to have his job
wrested from him by any one.
Murray, who was to leave today for
the Southern Association club, Is no
great loss For time after he joined
the Nationals last year the pitcher,
who had had previous trials with the
Yankees and Red SoX, promised to be
quite worth while after coming up to
the big show for the third time. But
he revealed little in a slabbing line

He started game last on April %.
but was yanked after pitching two in
nings against the Yankees at New
York and has been in only four games
in a relief role thereafter. Murray
goes to the Pelicans without any
strings attached.
Covey Still Ailing.
The sale of Murray reduces to 10
the hurting staff of the Nationals,
but two of the pitchers really are not
available for duty in championship
contests. Smelling needs much polish
ing before he may be accounted a
first-rate boxman, while the veteran
Stanley Cove.eskie still has to get his
salary wing into condition. Either
those in charge of the Nationals do
not know or refuse to say just what
is wrong with the spitballer's arm,
but Covey can get nothing out of it..
Every once in while he says it is
rounding into form. then he pulls up
with some new ailment.
The Nationals are sorely in need of
another fairly dependable pitcher, pre-
ferably a southpaw, and President
Griffith has not given up hope of
landing one. He has had Scout Joe
Engel and Jimmy Callahan combing
the minors for a likely looking hill
man and even has done bit of scout
ing himself. So far. however Griff
has heard Of no reasonably good hurl-
er who could be acquired Immediately.
