RED ESSEX Gets
A BIG WEL-C0ME
Burke and Pearlman
Speak to Hundreds

Especial to the DAILY Worker
ALBANY, july 23.-One of the
outstanding lessons we have learned
from the tour of the "Red Essex"
is the righteousness and at the
same time the viciousress of the
election laws of New York State.
If tiny county Qike Greene or
Putnam County, should decide to
oppose the placing of the Workers
(Communist) Party on the ballot,
it could do so. Just as many petit
TONERS are needed for these. coun-
ties as for Albany County or New
York County.
This fact struck US most forcibly
when we spent three days going
hack and forth through the Catskill
Mountains, seeking voters who
could be classed as proletarians.
The few farmers to be found would
not sign.
One incident will illustrate their
extreme backwardness. When re-
minded of the farmer demonstra-
tion for relief az the republican con-
vention, group of them declared
that no farmers had taken part in
the demonstration. They denounced
farmers co-operatives, union for
workers and labor parties. The
solution of the labor problem was
for them just matter of individual
effort on the part of each farmer.
When we had finally obtained our
quota, we had talked with probably
about 80 per cent of all proletarians
in the county. And we certainly had
to use all of our persuasive abilities
on them.
As for the small merchants
though the summer resort business
has fallen off tremendously this
year on account of the unemploy-
ment in New York-they were still
unable to see their growing COM
munity of interest with the working
class.
Italians. Negroes, Give Support
Thus far we have found the great.
est support coming from the Ital-
ians and Negroes. Thus we are
demonstrating that the basis of q
Workers Party is among the most
exploited class of workers.
Unemployment is to be found ir
every city of the state. The plank
in the platform of the Workers
(Communist) Party demanding un-
employment relief has ben of great
help in obtaining signatures.
The extreme weakness of the
unions has also been detriment tc
us. When we mention the desire
of the Workers (Communist) Party
to organize unions, workers are Of
ten repealed. They have been dis.
illusioned by the American-Fe
tion-of-Labor kind of unionism
Many declare that they would never
join another union. Such was the
case in Troy, where an unorganizec
strike of collar workers was won il
three days. After the strike wa.
over, none of them would listen tt
proposals to form a union.

BOSSES AGENTS
OUTLAW PICKETS
AT MILL GATES
Police Head Carries S
Out Barons' Orders

Especial To the Daily Workero
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, July 23
-Obeying the signal given by John
Sullivan, mill boss official, to start
an immediate violent suppression OF
picket lines, large force OF police
under Sergeant Jacobs made a VI
cious onslaught on an orderly picket
line at the Sharp Mill, 1880 a. m
this morning, smashed the line, ar
rested six and brutally beat up Man
uel Mario for protecting a woman
striker.
Without even waiting for some
one to define a legal picket line"
as he hypocritically requested re-
Gently, Chief fo Police Mcleod is
sued an ultimatum yesterday limit
ing picket lines at all gates OF
mill to so and ordering the dispersal
of spectators.
Pinto Arrested.
At the Sharp Mill gates this
morning, the police detail there
commanded the picket line to dou-
Bile on themselves when they reach
ed the mill gate, not permitting pas
sage of the entrances. Refusal OF
the strikers to have their rights as
citizens abrogated by police was
followed by an immediate attack,
which resulted in the arrest of four
women, two men and in the severe
injury of one.
Augusta G. Pinto, the much ar
rested popular Textile Mills Com
mittees' picket leader, heard the po-
lice order to keep away from the
gates just as he was coming up on
his bicycle rounds, called to the
picket line to march on despite the
police order. He and other leaders
of the line were Immediately ar
rested, this being the sixth arrest
for Pinto.
The pickets Immediately went in
to prevent the illegal arrest of their
leaders and were met by the swing
ing clubs of the police.
Ellen Dawson, T. M. c. organizer,
then called on the workers to con-
tinue with the picketing. When a
policeman lunged forward to grab
her, Manuel Mario, a picket, put his
arm protectively on her shoulder
and protested against her arrest.
For this Sergeant Jacobs hit Mario
a smashing blow in the eye and
continued to beat him while four
police thugs held him to the ground
Police "Impartiality"
Of the four women arrested, one
was Sadie Reison, organizer for the
U. 7. w. Textile Council. When
the prisoners were arraigned in
court later, she was charged only
with parading without a permit,
while each of the others had three
or more charges stacked up against
them. They were "assaulting po-
lice" disturbing the peace" etc.
That this assault is not what the
city government heretofore termed
"an accident" but is the beginning
of an official strikebreaking terror,
is proved by the fact that the pick
cts were charged with "parading
without a permit" The filing Of
such charge is admittedly a de-
liberate step towards carrying out
the mill bosses demand to outlaw
picketing at the textile plants.
Calls For Picketing.
The New Bedford Textile Work
ers' Union, in statement issued to-
day assailing the city government
as the bosses strikebreaking tools,
calls upon the masses of strikers
to rally to huge picket demonstra-
tions at the mill gates this evening
and hereafter.

RECOGNITION or

OBJECT OF MEET
5000 Mutiny in Army
of Reaction

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The
first step of what is believed here
to be a gradual process of recog-
milton CT the Marking government,
with the purpose of strengthening
the reaction to crush the Chinese
revolution, will be taken when Sec
retary of State Kellogg issues his
call for a so-called ino-American
council for treaty revision tomor-
row. 1t is the plan of the secre-
tary of state to widen this council,
after the American diplomats have
established their control, to include
other powers.
1t is understood that the confer
ence will be called following re
ceipt of a detailed report from the
American minister in China, Mac
Murray.
Recognize Counter er-Revolutionists
While de jure recognition will
necessarily be the price of conces-
sions to the foreign powers in the
questions of extra-territoriality, tax
alton and tariff, foreign concessions
and settlements, redress to foreign
ers and damages to property, the
conference will be virtual recogni-
tion of the Marking governments,
since the powers will unite in deal
ing with it as the official govern
ment of China.
Intimations are that the United
States has program of its demands
which it will submit to the proposed
conference ahead Of the other poS
ers.

VOTE BUYING DUE. TO
BREAK ALL RECORDS

Preliminary preparation of the
public mind" for the greatest cleo
tion campaign slush funds yet to be
raised in the United States, it is
believed, is the motive for the
brazen publicity now being given by
both old political parties to their
vote-buying campaigns now getting
under way. According to announce
ments made yesterday. $10,000,000
is to be accepted sort of starting
off figure for the national campaign
committees.
Merely Beginning.
That this figure is merely a be-
ginning, it was pointed out by well
informed politicians, may be seen
in the fact that nearly seven mill
ions was expended by both major
parties in 1920 according to figures
which they themselves were willing
to make public. Harding was pushed
over by a slush fund of S5,319,729
and Cox was helped along to the
extent of $1,31S,347. There was no
great doubt of the republican
chances that year such as there may
develop this year. Everyone knows
that the figures given out are only
a portion of what is really ex-
pended The reported total, more
over, does not include the millions
spent throughout the country in the
various state fights for the election
of congressman and other officials.
S3,OOO,OOO In All.
Informed observers are willing to
wager that fully S30,000,000 will be
expended this year by both old par
ties. The contributions as in the
past will undoubtedly be made by
the same large corporations to both
old parties, their purpose being to
maintain control of both political
machines.

REACTIONARIES
ARE MASTERS IN
MEXICAN CRISIS
Probable Arrest of Ex-
Labor Minister

announced by General Zertuche,
chief of police of the federal dis
trict, that Louis W. Morones, former
minister of labor, whose resignation
was forced by the reactionary So
called "Agracsans," is in hiding and
that the police are investigating re-
ports of his whereabouts in Mexico
City.
Morones Under Arrest?
The indication that Marones may
even be arrested on charge of par
ticipation in the assassination of
General Obregon, is part of today's
developments indicating the victory
of the reactionary elements and the
Catholic clergy.
In the first days after the assas-
sination, and up to yesterday, Chief
of Police Zertuche announced that
the assassin confessed that he had
killed Obregon for religious motives
so that "Christ the King might
reign supreme" Now, the Gales
government has reversed it's policy
and today the chief of police an
nounce,d that the Catholic clergy
exposed as responsible for the kill
ing of Obregon, are cooperating
with the police in the investigation
of the assassination"
Morones Anti Clerical
1t is significant that Morones,
who has been active in the struggle
against the church, has been ac-
cused by the leaders of the agra
lians" as intellectually respon-
sible% for the killing of Obregon by
religious fanatic.
Morones has opposed the church
because of the pressure of the work
ing class of Mexico, but is in nc
sense real leader of the masses.
The fact that Mofones has been Sc
lected as the victim of the landown-
ers and clergy indicates that they
regard him merely as a shining
mark symbolizing 'labor" in the
eyes of the reactionary masses, and
that the attack upon him is a first
step in the suppression of the labor
movement in Mexico.
Gales Bows to Clergy
President Gales, in his efforts to
remain i'm power, accepts the dicta-
tion of the landowners and the cap
italist interests of the United States,
which are utilizing the chaotic situa-
tion of the present to entrench their
power more firmly than ever.
It was indicated today by Col
Topete, the wealthy leader of the
reactionary "Agrarians," that aClles
will be retained in office for two
more years as provisional presi.

CLUB ON AIR
FROM WNAL

One of the things Wednesday
evenings are doing for a few of
US who have been engaged in what
our more serious friends have
called wasting our time" with
radio broadcasting, is bringing to
washington listeners the holster
program of the Columbia Broad
casting System through WMAL.
| Most of US who have studied radio
| programs come to have regard the
| holster affairs of Columbia origin
as particularly fine examples OF
how broadcasting can be used TO
make the various sections OF the
country and it's people acquainted
with each other, in addition to pro-
viding unusually fine entertainment.
The holster managers, since
breaking away from the National
Broadcasting Company, have aban-
doned the idea that everything en-
tertaining originates on Broadway.
They know there is music and there
are dance orchestras and there are
quite a number of big men and
women Broadway doesn't know
and never heard of. They had been
assiduousIy making known such
| things for some months past. and
have not hesitated to turn their
time over to whatever institution
and organization seemed to them
to be worth while, feeling that their
advertising purposes were fully. II
not better served in the fact that
| listeners will know 1t is through
Holster auspices that they are able
to hear these fine things.

All this is Introductory to the an
nouncement that this evening the
holster Hour. at 10 o'clock tonight
! from WMAL, will be devoted to the
| University OF Illinois and it's Glee
Club. 1t may come as shock to
some of our Eastern fundamental
| lists that the University of Illinois
| is not only one of the largest In
stitutions of learning in the world,
but that it is also rated as one
of the greatest in the world. This
evening the University of Illinois
| Glee Club, it's band and its orches-
| ira will provide what We believe
will be the most important musi-
cal feature on the broadcasting
program-as well as giving lis
| teners some idea of one of the
greatest of State universities and
the Midwest.
The evening programs of WRC
include Frederick William Wile's
summing up of the political situa-
ton in Washington; the American
Magazine program: the Ipana Trou'
badours, with the famous feminine
trio Garnica Ascencio of Mexico as
| guest artists; the Palmolivers; a
Lotus dance program and slumber
music. In the WMAL schedule
there will be a music room feature
of chamber music; the Columbians
with jazzed classics; Olive Kline as
La Palma, with Joe Laurie as her
guest. and night club romance In
which the noted dancer, Drusilla,
will figure prominently and during
which some of her dance steps will
be broadcast.
The Chicago Civic Opera Company
will sing MoZart's Don Juan" this
evening and it's second act will be
broadcast as a Balkie feature
through WIZ and WBAL at 10
