House of Lords Stews
Over 500 Year Claim;
Royal RObber Rallies

LONDON, Dec. Something a
bit slower to come to an end than
the king of British Imperialism, was
revealed here today when a 500-year
old claim to peerage came before
the privileges" committee of the
House of Lords. The king is sup
posed to have rallied, but nobody
knows except the doctors.
One parasite, going by the moni-
ker of "Sir Bruce Gordon Seton, is
claiming the barony of Gordon in
the Scottish peerage, but another
noble exploiter. the Marquis of
Huntley, alias Baron Gordon, con-
tests the claim. As remarked, the
row is 500 years old, but recently a
papal bull was found in the vatican
at. Rome, which proves that the
Marquis of Huntley, alias Gordon,
is an offspring of a bastard, so Sir
Bruce is using this bull in attacking
the legitimacy of Huntley's success
sion.
AS much mystery as ever prevails
about the king, however. Mean
while, the papers tell all the mon
archist worshippers how "impor-
tant" it is that the Prince of Wales
did not smile today, and how he is
hurrying home to work hard at
expressing 465,ooo,ooo subjects.

5TH ANNIVERSARY
DRIVE SPEEDS UP
Foreign Press Readers
Get $4,000 Letters

Forty-five thousand readers of
the foreign language Communist
press have received special letters
from the business office Of the
Daily Worker, in connection with
the fifth anniversary drive of the
Daily. The letters tell briefly
what the Daily has done for the
movement during the past five
years, what its situation is today,
and wind up with a request for
greetings for the fifth birthday edi-
tion.
The comrades and sympathizers
in the foreign language clubs are
appealed to to help the Daily in its
present crisis. On more than one
occasion the paper has been almost
unable to come out, due to inability
to meet expenses for paper, print
ing, etc. Due to special emergency
aid and to the sacrifices of the COM
rades connected with the paper, it
has been able to keep going.
1t is expected that there will be
a mass response to this appeal, for
the foreign-language readers have
now reached the stage where they
realize the necessity of reading an
English paper, besides their own
language organ.
One of the specific ways in which
they are asked to help is by sending
in greetings for the fifth anniver-
sary edition, which will be pub
lished on Jan. 5, in 100000 copies,
and to get their friends and shop
mates to do the same, at 81 name,
or as much more as they are able
to pay.
All names sent in as greetings
will not only be printed in the spe-
cial anniversary edition of the Daily
Worker, but will also be sent to the
International Workers Press Exhi-
bition at Moscow.

C|TLOW SPEAKS
At FORUM TODAY
Talks on Amalgamated
Union Misleaders

Workers in the mems clothing
manufacturing industry are called
upon to come to an open forum
where Ben Gitlow, Communist Party
leader will speak on "The Present
Policy of the Amalgamated Mis-
leaders" The forum is called by
the General League of the A. C. W.,
the left wing organization, and will
be held at the Workers Center, %
Union Square today, beginning at
12 noon.
The workers in the industry are
at present being viciously exploited
by the bosses, who have been granted
permission to make wage cuts and
install speed-up systems by the re-
dictionary officialdom of the union.
Despite the bitterest opposition,
expressed by the membership of the
union against the sweat4shop system
Of piece-work, the Hillman admins
tration went about Systematically
ramming this measure down the
throats of the workers. Although
innumerable meetings of the work
ers, from small local meeting to
national conventions, have gone on
rocnrd cordemning this system, the
officialdom have legalized it.
Protests against this as well as
other dictatorial and traitorous
measures were met with the most
vicious suppression by small armies
of thugs in the pay of the union
chiefs.
Gitlow, himself a member of the
Amalgamated, though expelled by
the officialdom, will lead the dis
cussion, where all those attending
will have the opportunity to take
the floor in discussion.
