PAPER AFRAID TO
PUBLISH LETTER
But Printed Attacks on
Workers Daily
(By a Worker Correspondent


TRENTON, N. j., (By MaiD.- We
have here in Trenton a newspaper
combination, the Evening Times and
the State Gazette, which is playing
the role of very liberal, non-parti-
san, almost radical character.
At the head of this combine is
James Kerney, weIl-known during the
war for his loyal activities and cham
pionship of the Wilson Democracy"
Mr.. Kerney still adheres to his liberal
democratic principles"
During the recent petty-bourgeois,
socialist convention, the Times and
the Gazette did some very valuable
boosting for that organization. The
harmless program of the socialists
received the stamp of approval from
the Times and Gazette. The Times
went so far as to carry the program
of the party on two separate pages
in the same edition so that no one
would possibly overlook it.
Recently a discussion was started
in the Times correspondence section
on the unemployment situation here
in Trenton. 1t was started by young
girl who wanted to know the cause of
unemployment, and who appealed to
the rich to help the unemployed. a
answered her letter, making it
mild, knowing the attitude of the
Times from past experience. AS you
see from the clipping, the Times
printed my letter. But from then on,
dozens of letters were printed, abus-
ing and blaming the workers them
selves for the present situation.
am enclosing one of these as an ex-
ample. All sorts of ridiculous sug-
gestions were made to solve the prob
lem.
Ignored Letter.
One S. B. L. mildly took issue with
my accusing the present capitalist
system. S. B. L. claimed that labor
could not exist without capital, nor
capital without labor. I answered s
B. L. and other critics, giving a more
class-conscious character to my an
swer. The Times ignored my letter
This in spite of the fact that | COM
Piled with all requirements, giving
my name and address. / am enclos-
ing this letter.

Schwab told the Senate committee, he
has never had any labor trouble.
But contrary to the steel kings tes-
timony, George Spolski is now on
strike with $40 other miners against
the Bethlehem Mines Corp, which
dominates Slickville. They came out
April 16 at the call of the Save-the-
Union Committee and Immediately
faced the coal and iron police, Mr..
Schwab's own private Cossacks.
George "Flonrishes Arms"
George was sitting in his boarding
house eating bologna with two fell
low miners few days ago when three
of these Cossacks broke through the
door and told bin, to "come along"
When George ''flourished his arms"
as the Cossack described it before the
squire's court, the Cossack slapped
him with mace. He was then
dragged along With his comrades to
the mine companv's office. A COM
pany doctor put in few stitches.
The other miners were "sent home
| by the nine superintendent the pri-
vate Cossack testified later and
George was lodged in the company
lookup. A charge of disorderly con
duct was placed against him. Next
day he was released on bail and
brought back tc his boarding house
in an undershirt and shirt that had
been soaked in blood.

who is both a coal and iron policeman
and deputy sheriff, testified that
| he didn't know whether George was
striker or not ut wouldn't make
any difference with us officers" he
commented. He also alleged that the
sort of profanity George and his COM
rades were using was mot fit for a
/ lady to hear" Whether is was Ukra-
inian profanity the sergeant did not
say. He admitted he had entered the
house without warrant, that he had
slapped George and that the latter
had been drinking. Three of George
! friends testified that he was a sober
striker.
! The company justice Of the peace
did his duty. The presence of an In
| teinational Labor Defense lawyer
prevented him from going further
/ "A dollar and costs" George groaned
at the injustice. The private Cos
sacks were satisfied. They had taught
George a lesson. He would sit in his
boarding house and eat bologna.

TO Be FIRST OF
SERIES IN CITY
Meeting at New Star
Casino, May Is

United States Negro and white
workers, protesting against continued
marine domination of the black re-
public of Haiti, will meet in New
Harlem Casino, 90 w. 10th ST., Sun
day afternoon, May IS, at a demon
stration held under the joint auspices
of the Haitian Patriotic Union and the
All-America Anti-Imperialist League
Speakers will include Sen. William
H. King of Utah, William Pickens
field secretary of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People, Manuel Gomez, national
secretary of the All-America Anti

at the League of Nations conference
at Geneva; Irving Potash, Joint
Board of the Furriers' Union; Robert
Minor, editor of The DAILY WORK
Err, and Henry Rosemond of the
Haitian Patriotic Union.
To Protest Intervention
The meeting grows out of opposi-
ton to the whole policy of United
States intervention in Haiti and to in
PREVENTION in any form. 1t will pro
test especially against the amend
ments to the Haitian constitution re-
Gently adopted at the instigation OF
High Commissioner Russell and also
to the new land legislation in Haiti
Commenting upon arrangement
for the meeting, Rosemond OF the
Haitian Patriotic Union said yester-
dav at the office of the All-Americar
Anti-Imperialist League, 80 Union
Square.
'sThis is only the beginning of ar
agitation against United States rutf
in Haiti which will go on with in
creased intensity so long as the ma,
rines remain there.
Anti-Imperialist League Cooperates
"The meeting is held in Harlem be-
that is the section in which Negroes
predominant and because it is recog'
nized that American Negroes, suffer
ing under racial prejudices and dis
elimination, will be responsive tt
their brothers in Haiti who are op
pressed by the ruling class.
"We Haitians are glad of the CO
operation of the All-Ameriea Anti
Imperialist League, which has done
such excellent work in helping thC
cause of Nicaragua, because we know
that the case of Haiti is not an $50
lated one, and must be fought out as
part of the general fight against i'm
perialism."

Lewis MACHINE
IN new GESTURE
Ohio Henchmen Move
to Expel Locals
Especial to The Daily worker)

BELLAIRE, O., May 4.-Seventeen
local unions in Belmont county are
figuratively up in arms against Lee
Hall as a result of the attempt of
Hall, who is an agent of the coal
operators but nominally president Of
the Ohio district 6 of United Mine
Workers and a henchman of the
Lewis machine, that he had revoked
the charters of these local unions
Each of the locals had refused tc
carry out the orders of the machine
to suspend members who have beer
leaders in the progressive Save-the.
Union movement in Belmont county.
Strength of PrOgressives.
More than 5000 miners are repre-
scented in these locals whose charters
Hall is trying to revoke. If the min
ers did not treat Halls action will
contempt, one-third of the union min
ers in the district would thus have
been expelled at one stroke from the
union by the Lewis machine which is
seen to be playing the game of the
operators in an attempt to split the
ranks of the miners
Several days ago it was disclosed
that Oral Daugherty, who was ex.
PEELED by the Hall-Lewis machine
when it could no longer shield him
had agreed to supervise scab herdin9
operations for four operators who are
planning to begin open shop opera
tons. Lewis and Hall have beer
shown as supporters of DaughertJ's
treachery and expelled him only wher
forced to act by the Save-the- Union
movement.
Miners Defy Machine.
Practically the whole Ohio district
is now under the influence of the pro-
gressives and for this reason it is
certain that the Lewis-Hall- Operator
move of desperation will not succeed
Such moves against the whole rank
and file, it is believed, can mean only
that the Lewis machine is acting
towards its own expulsion.

Of war should be made party issue,
either in the campaign or in the SEN

be. 1t is an international matter of
worldwide importance. The promo
ton of world peace is an ideal COM

Winning Party Conducted Drive
Very Largely on Ma
tionaI Issues.

Portland, Me.-William T. Gardiner,
Republican, was elected governor Of
Maine by majority over Edward c.
Moran, Jr., Democrat, by very large
majority.
United States Senator Frederick
Hale, Republican, was reelected by q
similar margin over Herbert e.
Holmes, Democrat. In the second dis
trict, where the Democrats had made
their most determined stand, Con-
gresham Wallace H. White, Jr., Re-
publican, was elected over Albert Deli
veau, Democrat.
Republican candidates for congress
in three other districts held substan-
tial leads. Predictions Of an unusu-
ally heavy vote made during the cam.
paign were not borne out.
Four years ago the total vote for
governor was 253,907. Brewster, Re-
publican, defeated Pattangall, Demo
crat, by a margin Of 1865.
