tween this speech and that of Cook,
which Immediately followed it. De-
spite statements such as. "absolving
the general council from any dishon-
est motives" ETC., Cooks speech was
a clear line of opposition to all that
Mondism means.
His speech and that of the Com
munist, Tomkins, were the only two
working class speeches made in OPP
position to the policy of class col
laboration.
After this discussion came the de-
bate on international trade union
unity. To understand this discus
sion it is necessary to point out that
the resolution represents COM
promise between three unions, all
three having a resolution on the
agenda dealing with some aspect of
international trade union unity. The
resolution finally submitted to the
congress was as follows:
Resolution on Unity.
"That congress, recognizing
that the intensification of COM
petition, the present wage strug-
giles which have characterized the
workers growing revolt, particu-
larly in Europe and countries like
India, the growth of national an
tagonisms, and the possibility of
war, render more than ever neces-
sary the need for international
tradss union unity, believes that
the existence of two separate
trade union internationals and
number Of trade union centers I'M
affiliated to either is a source of
weakness to the trade union
movement, and prevents that
movement from fully utilizing it's
power either to break the capital
list offensive against wages or to
prevent a new war.
"This congress, therefore, calls
upon the general council to sum-
mon a world conference of unions
affiliated to both Internal 'onals
along with the trade unions not

workers were arrested today from
among the crowd that jeered and
booed as republican soldiers marched
thru the streets in celebration of the
tenth anniversary of the formation
of the republic.
The only sign of rejoicing came
from the government when they or
dered the march of the militia, and
the jeering was general along the
line of march.
Another group Of workers were
attacked by the police when the
workers held demonstration

/Conf;o3t1Il

The congress has endorsed Mond-
ism, the test for those inside the gen.
eral council will come Immediately
and I am confident that the only
one to stick to his guns will be Cook
the others will simply not risk plac-
ing themselves under the ban that
kGee ral council will impose under
Resolution.
A Split Policy.
The sum total of it's effect will be
to do the very thing it claims to
avoid. 1t will cause disruption, splits
exclusion, and the destruction of
democratic rights inside the unions.
1t will lead to increased non-union-
ism, because those at present out
side the unions will refuse to join
when they see the real role of the
general council.
The resolution, it should be noted,
was adopted before the endorsement
of Mondism. This was no accident:
it was the deliberate design of those

the reyolutionaries must be attacked
if the leaders are to deliver the goods
to Mond and his allies.
It was strongly opposed by the
minority, who exposed the real dis
rupters and splitters, those who
stand for Mondism and the surren-
der of the trade union fight; those
who refuse to give up their jobs
after the workers have sacked them
in four successive ballot votes as in
the case Of the Scottish miners Of
ficials; those who perpetuate craft
and sectional unionism in face of a
centralized capitalist enemy; but it
had no effect on the voting--the re-
suit had been decided by the bloc
long before the delegates came to
Swansea, and the full responsibility
for all the subsequent effects Of this
pernicious resolution will fall upon

ing it had rescued SO passengers
ard 80 of the crew, later listed SO
passengers. 1t gave no crew list,
leaving doubt whether this differ
ence of five passengers should be
added to the total of 1913 saved, or
subtracted from the crew total of 90.
Persons still unaccounted for at
2:50 p. m. included Major Yashio
Inouye, Japanese consul to Buenos
Aires. whose wife was believed to
have been picked up by the Wyom-
ing; and Michael J. O'Loughlin, the
radio operator who flashed the
rs. o. S." which brought the ships
to the Vestris' rescue.
Search Continues.
Meantime the search continued
near where the Vestris went down.
At least three coast guard cutters
planned to remain at the scene. The
U. S. navy's dirigible, Los Angeles,
expected to leave its hangar. at
Lakehurst, N. j., around nightfall
and cruise over the spot in an eff
fort to sight RATS or debris to which
men, women or children might be
cling.ng.
1t was believed the Los Angeles
would drop flares as it went, en-
abling the coast guard vessels to
pick out survivors by Silhouette
and dash to the rescue.
Such activity would be a final
climax to a horrible drama that be-
gan when the water-logged Vestris
started sinking yesterday afternoon.
1t has been a drama of men, women
and children bobbing in the icy
waters of choppy sea waiting for
succor which seemed tremendously
slow.

stink in the nostrils of the workers
they employ, because of their brutal
methods of exploitation" had fallen
in line with the wage cutting policy
shown in the defeat through their
treachery of the general strike, the
break with the Russian unions, and
the Trades Union Act.
At Parting of the Ways.
The statement goes on to say:
"Our movement stands at the
parting of the ways. We call
upon the workers in the factories
and unions to repudiate the Swan
sea decisions and to fight under
the banner of the minority move
ment for united assistance, TO
further wage safeguards for all
workers now forced to work
premium bonus and piece-work
systems whilst fighting for their
complete abolition, for strong fac
tory committees, one union for
each industry, extension of the
powers of the trades councils, one
united trade union international,
the repudiation of industrial peace
and class collaboration, and above
all for the reputation of the ex-
listing leadership and the election
of new leaders pledged to fight
capitalism and it's allies now in
control of the trade union move
ment."
On the basis of Tire above policy
the minority movement is organ
ising rank and file conferences all
over the country to explain to the
masses the Significance Of the Swan
sea congress and contrast it with
the Shoreditch conference Of the
minority movement.

BRITAIN QUITS
TALKING ABOUT
LIMIT ON NAVY
Coolidge War Threat
Arouses France

LONDON, Nov. 13.-While the
British press is furtively hostile to
Coolidge's blunt announcement that
America is going to prepare for
war, Premier Baldwin clearly takes
up the challenge of Coolidge for a
race to prepare for war in the
House of Commons, where he an
nounced today that the negotiations
for armament limitations must
begin all over again" and that the
Anglo-French naval agreement had
been strapped.
This clearly indicates that in an
swer to Americas declaration that
it is going to prepare for war, Bri-
fish imperialism will cease all pre-
tensions of limiting ornaments and
intensity its naval preparations to
meet the United States in battle at
the earliest moment.

SOCIALISTS SEEK
new DEAL WITH
RUHR EMPLOYERS
Communists Urge Mass
Activity

BERLIN, Nov. 13.-With the So
cial-democrats entirely put out by
the decision of the labor court at
Duisburg which defied the govern
ment, the debate is now continuing
on the question of relief doles to
the locked-out workers.
While the, Socialists" argue for
government relief, they are still de-
cided to push the matter in the
courts, in face of the complete win
ming over the legal machinery by
the employers. A vote will be taken
on the dole to the locked out work
ers tomorrow.
(Wireless to the Daily Worker
BERLIN, Nov. 13-The lockout
in the Ruhr-has taken a turn most
embarrassing to the socialists. The
Duisburg Lafo or Court has rendered
verdict on she question of the
employers position in refusing to
accept the award of the arbitration
court.
The award was declared binding
by the arbitration court on October
rs, but the Labor Court decides now
that it is not binding on the en-
ployers, thus fully legalizing the en-
ployers' position.
The Bubble Bursts.
The social democrats had assured
the workers that the law was on
their side and set all hopes on the
Labor Court verdict.
The socialist organ "Vorwaerts"
ignores the verdict in it's evening
edition today, feeling too embar-
raised to say anything at all on the
subject. The democratic papers
console the workers by saying that
they can appeal to still higher
courts!
Ready to Betray.
The socialist trade union leaders
are now fastening to conclude COM
promises with the employers. They
are preparing to abandon the eight
hour day especially, in order to lure
the workers to accept this abandon
ment in return for a compromise
on wages. 1t is probable that the
employers will try to open the works
under the old conditions.
The central committee of the revo-
lutionary trade union opposition has
issued a call to the workers to pre-
vent this scheme being put, over on
them by picket lines and mass meet
ings of the workers.
Fight In Reichstag.
Today in the Reichstag debate on
the lockout, the Communist fraction
by Interpolation exposed the anti
labor socialist government tactics
and demanded the eight-hour day.
The fraction also demanded the abo-
lition of arbitration and grant of
unemployment relief to the locked
out workers.
Wissel, the social democrat labor
minister, in speaking, avoided the
workers problems. He stated that
the employers were "obliging" and
there would probably be "peace-
full" settlement. He made no critic
ism against the lockout and said
that the Communist demand for un-
employment relief to the locked out
workers was nonsense" Arbitra-
ton, he declared, was an excellent
thing desired by the employers and
the trade unions.
Florian, of the Communist Party,
replied exposing Wissel's pro-em-
ployer attitude and showing how the
government was helping the en-
ployers.

(Speciat to the Duilu Worker)


MUSHROOM, Mich, Nov. 49,
Walter johnson, Communist candi-
date for member of the city COM
mission, polled nearly LOO votes
on Nov. 6, according to the Mus
kegon Chronical," the only daily
newspaper in the city. The first re-
port gave him 1881 votes and the
final report registered 1897.
Muskegon is an auto and furni-
ture town of $4,000 population
Johnson, who is furniture worker,
was attacked by the capitalist press
before the election as being openly
Communist and the city secretary
of the local Workers (Communist)
Party.
Workers Militant.
"The large vote cast for me as a
Communist" johnson said, sis a
clear indication that my fellow
workers are becoming rebellious
against the wage-cuts, speed-up and
unemployment from which they suf-
fer, and that they recognize in the
Workers Party the only force which
can lead them in the struggle
against the brutal system Of cap
italist exploitation"
The republicans received 14,422
votes and the democrats ,466 in the
presidential race. This brings out
the striking fact that Johnson in his
race for commissioner polled only
200 votes less than Smith got for
president in Muskegon.

Socialist Debacle.


MILWAUKEE, Nov. 13.-The de-
feat of Victor Berger, socialist can
didate for congress, and the>low poll
received by Norman Thomas, candi-
date of that party for president, is
seen here as the strongest confir-
nation that this party has been
given it's death blow nationally.
Milwaukee, which gave Debs
10000 votes in 1920, gave Thomas
about 10000 in the recent election,
a loss of nearly three-fourths of the
party's following in this former
stronghold of the movement.
Election statistics show that the
of former so-called social
lists voted a straight democratic
ticket. Another way to view the
socialist defeat is to note that in the
next state legislature it will have 5
representatives as against 10 in the
past one.

Eicciuto's body was recovered near the top of the huge pile which resulted from the slide.
 Both men were employed by the Connecticut Quarries company and were working on the floor of the quarry not more than 50 feet from the base of the cliff when low rumblng and the shouts of fellow workers reached their ears.
 They looked up, saw the avalanche of rocks descending on them, and took to their heels. Ricciuto was overtaken by the sliding rocks and buried in full view Of the other workmen while Rumella, apparent ly becoming confused. ran directly towards the shower of earth and stones and in another second he too disappeared.
 Some of the rocks which top Ru- mella's body weigh as much as ten tons and will have to be blasted away before his body can be reached.
