BIG CAP, MILLINER
MEETING MONDAY
Dis ibutes Circular;
Loses Job

Desperate efforts are being made
by the reactionary officialdom of
the Cloth Hat Cap and Millinery
Workers Union to prevent the mas
ses of workers in the industry from
attending the big mass anti-injunc-
ton protest meeting being called for
Monday evening in Webster Hall,
IL st. and Third Ave. by the Cap
and Millinery section of the Trade
Union Educational League
Sam Beerum, Wiley known left
winger, was taken off the job yes
terday and told by the right wing
organizer Herschwitz to appear be-
fore the executive board to face
charges of assisting in an illegal"
meeting.
In spite of Beerum's protests that
as a member he is guaranteed the
constitutional rights of being noti-
fled by letter of charges and not
stopped from work in the middle of
the day, was unavailing. Hersch-
kowitz and the employer sent him
out of the factory despite his fur
Their statement that he is ready to
appear before the board at any time
after legal notification. He is to
appear Monday.
The meeting is called to protest
against the policy of the socialist
officialdom in applying to capital
ist courts for injunctions against the
legally elected officers of Boston
Local 7. President Zaritsky is doing
this in order to smash the militant
Capmakers union there.
The circular distributed by Beer
UNI, for which he lost his job, de-
clares in part:
COME TO PROTEST against
the application for an injunction to
the Massachusetts, courts-the muir
derers of Sacco and Vanzetti-
against the militant workers who re-
fuse to recognize Zaritsky's COM
pany-union in Boston.
COME TO PROTEST against
the understanding policy of the
General Executive Board, by which
Sigman, Shiplakoff and McGrady
smashed the unions of cloakmakers,
dressmakers and furriers.
"Down with the injunctions!
Down with the union-smashing ac-
tivities of the neutrality-suspicious.
Zaritsky! Down with Zaritsky's
betrayal of the Chicago strike
against piece-work!"

Wibaut of Holland then reported
on behalf of the economic commits
sion concerning the postwar econo-
mic situation and working-cla
policy. The only speaker in discus
sion was Brailsford of Great Britain
who demanded control of banks and
currency by workers through the
League of Nations. Wibaut agreed
and the resolution was adopted.
In the afternoon session Paul
Faure demanded in the name of the
French delegation the evacuation of
the Rhine section. Discussion took
place on point 4 of the agenda. Kuy-
pers of Holland demanded a fight
for the eight-hour day. Mortens of
Belgium proposed cooperation of
the Second and Amsterdam Interna-
tionals with the same end in view.
Lord Oliver then presented a re-
solution on point three of the agen-
da. The resolution is little different
from the infamous draft of the
Colonial Commission of June and
3. substitutes "self determination"
for "sef- government" and speaks
of Indian peoples" instead of "the
Indian people,. determination
is also demanded for the Philip
pines, Corea and Anam.
The debate took place under the
craftsmanship of Seitz, the Austrian.
"+""hari Of Madagascar thanked the
international for work on behalf of
the colonial people.
Cramer of Holland said the Com
munists were right in the idea that
capitalism could be dealt its fatal
blow nthe colonies. The Second
International, he said, must there
fore appoint a permanent colonial
commission and call a colonial con-
ference in order to compete with the
League Against Imperialism.
The resolution was adopted in the
absence Of the entire British deleg-
alton.
At the close of the session
Chinese, Indians and Indonesians in
the public gallery demonstrated
theoretically against imperialism
and against the decisions of the con-
gress on the colonial question.

REFORMIST init.
URGES WAR PACT

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Aug. TO-
The congress of the second (reform-
ist) international today endorsed a
manifesto approving of the Kellogg
"peace treaties" as a measure for
the absolute remuneration of war"
The manifesto calls for the sup
port of Kellogg and the Kellogg
treaties.
To Strengthen European Bloc.
PARIS, August 10.-The placing
of the Kellogg anti-war treaty be-
fore the League of Nations which
will guarantee it's discussion in the
September meeting, has led to the
general belief here that no basic
changes will be made in the League
treaties by the introduction of the
Kellogg pact.
The capitalist newspapers in
general look cynically upon the pact
as far as it's power to outlaw war
goes. They are very doubtful as to
its practical value, they think that
morally" it is "a good thing"

over s1,500,000 has been lost
through graft and waste during the
last year in this department alone.

estimate of the huge amounts that
have been squandered through Of

CHARGES POLICE
COMPLETELY IN
LEGION RIOTING
Cops Arrest Speaker;
Hoodlunns Free

"Tammany Hall, through its con
troll of the city administration, is
directly responsible for the brutal
assault on the speakers of the
Workers Communist Party last
Thursday at Steinway and Jamaica
2 AYES, Astoria, and the breakup of
the meeting bv rowdy elements in
open connivance with the local po-
lice" it is charged in statement
issued by the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party.
an spite of the fact that ample
notice Of the meeting had been pre-
viously given to the police" the
statement continues, "and in spite
of the fact that disturbances at pre-
vious meetings from the same sour
ces forecasted trouble at the meet
ing on Thursday evening, not a po-
liceman was in sight. 1t was evil
dent from the outset that the entire
attack was carefully planned, down
ITO the last detail, including precau-
tions against police interference.
Instead of preserving order at the
meeting, instead of arresting the
disturbers, the police officer arrest
ed the speaker who had legal right
to speak, thus giving clear evidence
of his collision with the rowdies OF
Tammany Hall.
- "The workers of New York will
not be fooled by the liable, Veterans
of Foreign Wars which these ele-
ments have assumed. The thousands
of unemployed and wounded veter-
ans, those who are in the shops and
mills receiving as the fruit of the
last war to make the world safe
for democracy wago cuts, speed-up
and increased exploitation, know
that this organization does not
speak in their name. On the con
trary, we have grounds to believe
that the entire attack was planned
and premeditated by the democratic
organization of Astoria.
"In this particular instance. the
American Legion has assumed the
role of the Fascist blackshirts of
Italy, seeking by the use of terror
ism to prevent the exposure of the
graft and corruption of Tammany
Hall in Queens. The workers will
be intimidated as little by such
methods in New York as they were
by the terrorism of legionaires in
Centralia. Our meetings will con-
tinue with the full support of the
workers of Astoria.
"The entire incident is no sur
prise. 1t is in complete accord with
the policy Of Tammany Hall in the
last strikes of the teamsters, trac-
ton workers and furriers. Police
brutality, interference with work
ers' meetings, these are no strangers
to the sidewalks of New York and
the workers will understand from
the entire occurrence that Tammany
Hall holds in prospect for the work
ers the same rule of terror which the
republican rule in Pennsylvania and
New Bedford holds out to the miners
and textile workers"

motions for $24 and $23. Broach's
henchmen were scattered through
out the hall and had carefully pre-
pared speeches which they tried
vainly to put across IN an attempt
TO raise the dues to S24.
For the first time since Breach
has been in New York he met with
decided defeat.
The Little Censar was furious.
He jumped from his seat like a
wildcat and threatened the member

needs. He would send his business

ened, and force each man to part

to pay will lose his job.

Breach continued his attacks on
the Communists in order to camou
flage the real issues. Jacob Solo
mon, one of the machine henchmen.
also tried to attack the Commu-
nists, but was met with kissing and
booing. Disorder was evident
throughout the whole meeting.
Solomon appealed to the older mem
bers and gave pathetic account of
the sufferings, strikes and hard
ships in the past. He said nothing
about the suffering, unemployment
and need at present. Everybody
grinned when he referred to his own
great honesty.
Sixty per cent of the members
left the meeting in disgust after
the dues deal was put over. This
was a mistake; they should have
stayed and fought against the ma
chine, Empty meetings is Just what
the labor takers want.
One of Broach's henchmen sent
him note to reconsider the dues
question, but Breach did not dare
try again for the $24 amount be-
cause he knew that the membership

Steam Roller.
Election of business manager for
three years, meetings to be held
twice a month, elimination of the
financial report, fines for the men,
bership, all were railroaded through
to the disgust of the workers.
But Breach received a taste of
workers mass power. 1t is true
that we did not handle ourselves
properly in the meeting. We should
have got up openly and fought
against the machine. Four thousand
rank and file members are stronger
than few paid henchmen. Maybe
it is because we have not yet learned
how to deal with such takers as
