WOLL ATTACKS
U. S. S. R. TOUR
Denounces Comintern,
Workers Party

WASHINGTON, July I'm ac-
cordance with their policy of bitter
orpos'tiea d he Uriqn. Of Eocialist
Soviet Republics. Mathew Vol,
speaking for the bureaucracy of the
American Federation of Labor, has
condemned the tour of Soviet Russia
by American educators as ga propa-
ganda device" This was disclosed
tonight in a correspondence made
public by Vol, acting president of
the National Civic alton and
vice-president of the A. F. of L.
The Tennessee Federation, which
supported the tour, asked Wvll, as
president of the International Labor
!. Press Of America, to give publicity
: to reports on the tour. Woll's attack
on the plan was directed as re-
buke at the Tennessee Federation.
There are two hundred trade union
publications comprising the Labor
Press.
Secretary w, c. Birthright, of the
Tennessee Federation, described to
Woll in a letter to J. B. Matthew,
one of the members of the tour, as
a very learned professor and
teacher on the bible in Scarritt Col
lege.' Matthew's plan is to send
back reports on the tour as the par
ty progresses through Russia.
Replying to Birthright, Woll said:
please be advised that the Amer
ican Federation of Labor had defin-
itely eposed the present Russian ye-
girne and has condemned it inf no
uncertain terms. The Russian gov
ernment as expressed through the
Communist International has sought
for many years the overthrow Of the
American government and as a con-
dition precedent to this, the over
throw Of the American Federation
Of Labor.
"There is no distinction between
the Communists (Workers) Party.
the Third International and the So
Wet regime. They are one and the
same. Again, it has been the expert
ence of the American labor move
ment that no real insight can be OBJ
tanned of the workings of the Soviets
and conditions existing there, because
Of the manner in which such delega-
tions and Investigators are received
and surrounded. They are shown
what is deemed best to show them
and are refused access to many
places where conditions would not
warrant the shedding of light"

senting every trade and every nation
ality will gather there to witness the
greatest proletarian sporting spec
tacle ever held in this country.
But the sports carnival of the Joint

New York's militant workers with
their needle trades comrades who
have been framed up by the union
smashing right wing bureaucracy in
collaboration with the bosses.

Ninety-six per cent of the American

corrupt officialdom of the Interna-

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, July L.
Twenty-nine strikers We're arrested,
many men and women were dubbed
by police and trampled, banners and
even flags were torn from the hands
of carriers when the heavily aug
mented New Bedford police force
broke up the parade of over six thou
sand textile strikers marching under
the leadership of the Textile Mills
Committee, in defiance of police re-
fusal of permit.
The divisions of marchers coming
up from the North End had gone
about five blocks, and that from the
South End had marched about two
blocks, when large truckloads of
police, their numbers heavily in
creased by prohibition agents and
others, jumped out and began the
clubbings and arrests.
Charge Picket Lines.
Many more thousands Of strikers
and sympathizers were den s e y
crowding the sidewalks, waiting to
get into line when the police assault
on the strikers began.
The two lines of the parade, start
ing from the two far ends of the city,
began promptly on schedule time, 2
o'clock and were to meet and jointly
go to the final destination. Several
policemen walked before the two
marching lines and kept the space in
front open for the parade, giving the
impression to the numerous thou
sands on the sidewalks that a permit
had been granted.
The thunder of cheers that greeted
the passing parade was transformed
into boots and jeefs when the police
leaped from the many big Mack
trucks and began to charge the lines
of the men, women and children
marchers, after the order to halt had
been defied by Eli Keller and Jack

In MEXICO POLL
Communist Party Calls

XICO CITY, July 1 (UP).-
The Mexican national elections, al
which General Alvaro Obregon, for
mer president, and friend of presi-
dent Gales, was the sole presidential
candidate, passed quietly throughout
the country today with fairly heavy
vote, according to reports received at
the capital this evening.
Obregon will assume office Decem-
Der /.
MEXICO CITY, July 1. The
hollow formality of the Mexican
presidential election was gone thru
today with General Alvaro Obregon
as the sole candidate. Fearing cleo
tion disturbances, the entire Mexican
army was ordered on active duty,
and all the courts kept open.
Obregon had the support Of the
American interests with investments
in Mexico, as well as the middle
classes and part of the upper class.
His attitude towards the lauded
Church interests has steadily bended
to become more conciliatory.
In reference to the Obregon candi-
dacy, the Mexican Communist Party
issued the following statement: sob
regonism at one time represented the
united front against clericalism. land
lordism and Imperialism, but the re-
cent split reveals that for Obregon
the united front only exists in his
own person. He has called on the
peasants, the middle classes and part
of the upper classes to aid him. The
Obregon group has no sincere desire
to destroy the false labor lead
ership of the GROIN and strengthen
the labor movement, but to destroy
q strong rival political clique which
interfeyes only with their own ambi-
tions. Many Of the Obregonistas
even wish to destroy the labor rnove-
ment, reduce salaries and abolish the
social gains of the revolution.
A break is developing between the
Obregon group and the Mexican La
Dor Party. The Communist Party
Of Mexico has as a result taken
position of opposition to the Mexican
labor nnisleadership, lead by Moroncs.
The Party has termed the conflict be-
tween Oregon and the GROIN "sor-
did struggle between two political
factions called Obregonism and La
borism."
