meeting election campaign con-
Quoted by the Workers (Communist)
Party Saturday night at which A.
Markoff, candidate for the assembly
from the 18th District, was the
principal speaker. A comic feature
to the evening was provided by
Robert J. O'Brien, exposed stool
pigeon, red batter, Rotary Club
Statesman" of the National Security
League who was given the platform
for ten minutes to expound the
Rabbit brand of Americanism.
Early in the meeting O'Brien had
appeared on the scene disguised as
an old man with smoked glasses and
long hair. Disguise is said to be
one of O'Brien's chief vaudeville de-
vices. A little later he discarded
the makeup and challenged the
speaker. For ten minutes he was
permitted much to the amusement
of the workers to warn those pres
ent against the dangers of violent
overthrow of the bosses power.
Exposes Boss Tool.
Markoff in replying showed that
the American workers should re-
member their revolutionary history
with pride. The American nation
was born in revolution, he showed
and other such events this time in
the interest of the workers will fol
low in the future. Markoff also
showed the relations of O'Brien with
the DeLaval Manufacturing Com
pany for Special work in protect
ing the firm against agitators.
About 100 Daily Workers were
distributed at the meeting. One
hundred fifty Ruthenberg pamphlets
were sold.

Prepare for Bloody Air
Battle

LONDON, Aug. 13.-In order to
perfect its defense and offensive
machinery the British war depart
ment will stage mock air battle
over London which will last for a
week, in which $50 army planes
will participate.
The planes will fly from one
point, designated as an eastern
power" and they will be met by a
victorious defense force. They will
be directed by perfected tele-
graphic system that will seriously
test the efficiency of the British air
force. The maneuvers will be close
" watched by army officers who
will watch for any defects that will
handicap the British army in an
actual air battle with the deadly
poison gas fleet of the eastern
power"
LONDON, Aug. 13.-The British
press is demanding that the govern

Franco British naval pact in order

Ousted Men Supported
By Workers. Unity

ROSARIO, Argentina, Aug. 49,
The tramwey workers of Rosario,
the second largest city of Argentina,
returned to work after several
weeks of most bitter solidarity
strike for the workers who were dis
missed by the Belgian-owned COM
pany for political reasons" that is
for belonging to syndicalist and
Communist labor organizations. All
the dismissed workers were rein
stated when the city authorities an
nounced that the concession of the
company will be cancelled immedi-
ately if it did not resume the serv-
ice.
General Strike.
When the tramway workers
struck, several trade unions, the
taxicab drivers, slaughterhouse
workers, shoemakers, telephone OPP
orators, saw mill workers, and sugar
refinery workers Joined the strike
out of solidarity for the dismissed
men. The governor of the province
proposed to the company immedi-
ately after the beginning of the
strike to reinstate the men and thus
remove the reason of the strike, but
the company refused. All street
car communication stopped and the
city was without transport facilities
for several weeks. In the meantime
other classes of workers, who joined
the strike out of solidarity, put up
their own demands, particularly the
telephone operators, who are still
striking.
The employers offered an in
crease wages, but insisted on the
exclusion of the active militant
workers, which the strikers, how
ever, refused.
Port Tied Up.
The strike became general when
the stevedores and port workers
Joined the strike and thus struck for
the second time within a few
months, tying up the second largest
maritime port of Argentina.
Though Rosario is in the interior
of Argentina, it is an important
maritime port, because seagoing
vessels can go so far up on the Rio
de la Plata.
The port workers struck again
because the shipping companies did
not keep their agreements, reached
after the last general strike of the
port workers of Rosario, which took
place there a few months ago. The
port workers strike tied up 100000
tons of grain, which are waiting
on the warves for loading.
