SEES AMERICA
 AGAIN DRAWN
 INTO WARFARE
Dubious Outlook Arises If China and Japan
 Clash

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, Aug. 15.-Should the China-Japan crisis in Manchuria reach a stage of armed hostility, America will be subject to pressure by propaganda to bring the nation into conflict on China's side, said George Bron- son Req, long a resident of Chi na in an address before the In- stitute of Politech.
 For over three decades" said Req, 'the American people have been systematically misled by fore ign propaganda. No sooner had the Versailles treaty been signed, than another whirlwind propagan- da had America ready to wipe Japan off the map in mistaken sympathy for China. In event of another struggle over Japan's rights in Manchuria, Americans will again be told it is our war, that we are in honor bound to al- ly ourselves with China"

Murdey of Mine Leaders
Symbol OF Union Fight

part of the struggle throughout the
United Mine Workers and the coal
mining industry. 1t is the biggest
fight in the United States today and
the Save the Union Committee faces
the combined might of the Lewis ma
chine, the coal barons and their gov
eminent.
1t is struggle to build union
that will be an unbeatable weapon
of the 100000 miners Of this CONT
nent.
In the structure of such a union the
bodies of Alex Campbell, Pete Reilly
and Thomas Lillis are keystones.
Their blood cements the battlements
which will resist the attacks of our
class enemies. Their very names are
battle-cries.
Their memories already are craven
deep in the hearts of thousands.
The manner of their deaths will be
recalled to steel the struggle against
their murderers.
Workingclass Justice.
The Lewis-Cappelini machine will
be brought before the workers tri-
bunal and working class justice meted
out. The coal barons and their agents
in the United Mine Workers will be
faced by 100000 prosecutors. The
challenge Alex Campbell made to coal
barons, contractors and their union
agents will be taken up by militant
army of his fellow-workers.
The cowardly volleys which took the
lives of Campbell and Reilly did not
kill the movement they symbolized.
They laid down their lives for their
class and their class will carry on the
fight. They were honest union men
but they did not see very far beyond
the union itself. The manner and the
cause of their death itself raises the
whole struggle to a higher level.
This is the meaning of the mass an
ger aroused in the anthracite by the
brutal murder of Alex Campbell and
Peter Reilly, two brave and honest
rank and file leaders.

PROGRESSIvES IN
TYPO union NO. 6
TO CAUCUS sun.
Will Nominate Slate for
Charleston
By ERMA L. LEE.

The Progressive Party" of Typo
graphical Union No. 6 will hold a
caucus this Sunday at Shields Hall
Smith and Schermerhorn Streets,
Brooklyn, to nominate four delegates
for the prog" slate TO the Interna-
tional Typographical Union conven-
tion to be held in Charleston, S. G.
Two delegates will be from the job
printing shops and two from the
newspaper composing rooms.
Considerable interest is manifested
in the meeting because of a decision
scheduled to be given by National
Chairman Chas. Babb of Chicago on
The question of democracy in the
ranks of the ''progressives." The
decision will determine whether ma
tional committeeman are to be elected
by the membership of the prog"
party or appointed by the national
chairman, as has been the custom in
the past.
Opposition Developing.
At the last prog party meeting a
month ago dispute arose when the
George F. Beech and Jack Mahar
group of the N. Y. World asked for
the election Of national committee
man. President Medcalf of the To-
cal "prog" machine, who was in the
chair, ruled Beech out of order, stat
ing that appointments of national
committeeman only were legal, at
least by precedent, and that local
progressive" clubs must be governed
by the rules of the progressive"
party caucus held at national con-
ventions Of the union. A compromise
finally was reached when Medcalf
agreed to get decision from Babb
Of Chicago, and report at the COM
ing caucus meeting.

CARED yesterday. Wolfe will be one
of the speakers at the Ruthenberg
memorial meeting to be held at the
Central Opera House, 9th st. and
Third Ave-, March II.
Ruthenberg was the first nationally
prominent socialist to be jailed in the
United States for opposing the World
War. Eugene V. Debs was jailed for
protesting the Imprisonment of Ruth
enberg by making a speech in Canton,
Ohio, where Ruthenberg was behind
the bars.
Forced National Convention.
The first step of Ruthenberg in OPP
posing the imperialist war was to
force the socialist party national
emergency convention in 1917 at St.
Louis to adopt an anti-war manifesto
proposed by the left wing and drafted
mainly by himself. This convention
was held in March, several weeks be-
fore the United States had entered
the World War.
Socialist misleaders like John Spar
go, WlLlam English Russell and John
Walling openly became the champions
of American Imperialism and demand
ed that the socialist party do what
the socialist parties of other countries
had already done-betray the work.
ing class and support the capitalist
government in the prosecution of the
war. The right wing leaders like
Morris Hillquit and Victor L. Berger
refused to take definite stand on the
question until they could see which
way the wind was blowing.
Ruthenberg was member of the
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-03-01

committee on war and militarism that
drew up the famous est. Louis Anti
War Manifesto" He took an uncom-
promising stand and declared that the
war was an imperialist war on all
sides and demanded that the Amer
lean workers not only not support the
war, but use all the means in their
power to fight against it.
The left wing under his leadership
swept the st. Louis convention and
compelled the vacillating elements to
limp along. Spargo, Russell and
Walling packed their grips and joined
the official trade union leadership to
become statesmen of war bonds. The
Hillquits and Bergers swan with the
stream at the convention, but later
betrayed the working class covertly
at first, and later openly.
In this anti-war work, Ruthenberg
was in touch with the International
Socialist Propaganda League of which
N. Bukharin, now editor of the Prav-
da, was the leading spirit.
After war was declared in April,
many spokesman of the socialist par
ty faltered, under growing govern
mental prosecution. But Ruthenberg
developed his attack on war in har-
mony with the proclamation that had
been issued.

to make it easier to railroad him to
