Soviet Workers Hail
3Oth Anniversary of
Moscow Art Theatre

MOSCOW, Oct. 29.-"We have
done more than see the surface. We
have tried to get at the real soul
of the revolution" was the response
of Stanislavsky to the highly emo
tional celebration throng collected at
the Moscow Art Theatre on its thir-
tieth anniversary.
Artist delegates from all parts of
Europe, Moscow workers and dele
gates from other sections of the
Soviet Union collected to pay tri-
butte to Stanislavsky and Danchenko
for their great and responsive work
on the stage.
The stage was set in the form Of
classic amphitheatre, golden steps
leading down from the backdrop.
The tall, white haired Stanislavsky
and the bearded, genial Danchenko
walked down those steps amidst the
cheering and applause of the audi
ence.
Kissing Tcheckov's wife, who had
just been given the highly honored
title of Peoples Artist" while the
onlookers almost wept, Stanislavsky
said: st was Lenin who, when times
were most chaotic, declared, we
must preserve our cultural centers,
and ordered that grant be given
Tie Moscow Art Theatre, which en-
abled it to live on and grow"

He says, 'Goddammit, l got some

"A brand new automatic I says,

Vanzetti was later accused of
having been the man with the sawed
off shotgun. Silva's confession
shows that this man was Doggy
Bruno, who wore a short, cropped
mustache, while Vanzetti's was long
and flowing.
The Outlook also publishes an
affidavit by "Big Chief" Jimmie
Mede, operator of a hangout for
criminals, who originally planned
the Bridgewater holdup, but was un-
able to take part because he was in
Jail at the time. This confession
corroborates Silva's statements and
duplicates both Judge Thayer and
James Valley, Vanzetti first lawyer
in the frame-up. Fred Moore, at
torney for Sacco and Vanzetti dur
ing several years of the case, visited
Mede in Jail in order to persuade
him to tell what he knew. John
Vahey, brother of Vanzetti's first
lawyer, and Joseph Ross, who was
driving Judge Thayer around,
rushed to see Mede after Moore's
visit and threatened him if he re.
vealed anything.

Mr.. Moore" Mede states in his aft
davit. "Mr. Valley says, don't yor
do it, if you want me to represent
you to try to get you pardon. DOM
you dare say anything in regard t.
the Sacco and Vanzetti case. You
know, my brother defended Vanzetti
and you will only be putting my
brother in Dutch. l promised hin
that would not say anythin,.

Ross. Ross at that time was driving
Judge Thayer around, and he alst
said don't you dare say anything il

MCCOY REPORTS

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Oct. 29.-
All is ready for the elections" in
Nicaragua, with the American Elec-
ton Mission Of $50 marine officers
and Latin American specialists" at
their posts, reinforced by an army
OF 5000 marines and squadrons of
American bombing planes, according
to report submitted by General
Frank R. Mccoy, supervisor for
Washington.
General Mccoy assures the United
States government that "we are all
set" and that generally no disturb
ances are expected due to the large
marine guard, although he could
not voucn for certain areas" by
which he undoubtedly means those
districts under the direct control of
General SANDING, where he will not
even attempt to send his marines.
Only two candidates can be voted
for, both approved by General Nc
Coy, spokesman for American CAPT
talists, who has been granted die
tatorial powers by President Diaz.
Adolfe Bernard, the richest man in
Nicaragua, controller of extensive
sugar plantations in Granada, has
been approved as the conservative
candidate by the American general.
General Jose Maria Moncada, after
demonstrating his willingness to
submit to the American marine rule,
was also approved as the liberal
candidate.

Demand Increase in
Wages

BERLIN, Oct. 29.-Despite the
half way decision of the government
in regards to the demands of the
workers in the Rhinish textile
mills, which has already been &C
cepted by some of the trade union
officials, the mill owners are threat
ening a general lockout in the Rhine
land unless the workers accept the
present wage scale.
At present there are about $4,000
textile workers on strike and locked
out and the general sentiment pre-
vailing among the workers in the
textile districts is one which would
never accept the continuation of the
present wage scale.
Due to war PREPARATIONS and debts
and the continual import Of gold tc
maintain the currency standard the
cost of living has grown in leaps
and bounds while. wages have re.
NAMED the same, it is generally
pointed out.
A general lockout in the Rhinist
textile mills would affect over 300,-
600 workers.

France Meditates on
Extraditing Teapot
Dome Graft Witness

PARIS, Oct. % U.P).-The United
States attempt to extradite Henry
NJ. Blackmer, former Denver oil
millionaire and missing witness in
the Teapot Dome investigations, is
attracting interest here where it is
realized that the government soon
must either capitulate to the request
from Washington or reject the de-
mand for return of Blacl1mer.
The governments case is said to
have been worked out in anticipa-
ton of every possible eventuality,
but all must await the pleasure Of
either the minister of justice or the
minister Of foreign affairs. 1t was
stated on good authority that the
French government was not influ-
enced in any way by the United
States elections but that the extra
dition Of the millionaire was the
most unusual request ever placed be-
fore the government.
Aside from the interest attached
to the presidential warrant issued
at Washington, French officials are
cautious in setting a precedent for
other governments since Paris is the
refuge for hundreds of banished
princes, voluntary exiles and politi-
cal exiles. All of these who respect
the law enjoy the protection of the
French republic.

the others, having advocated in a
radio speech some time ago the sup
port of the republican ticket, as the
only guarantee that the prosperity
of the miners will continue. In spite
of the great publicity, the miners
have not payed much attention to
these rallies. Those who were there
had chance to get acquainted with
the message of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party, thanks to the leaf
lets distributed there.
A Real Rally.
The hard-coal miners will have
the opportunity to participate in a
real rally of their own this Wednes-
day, Oct. 81, at the Scranton Labor
Temple, at which William z. Foster,
presidential candidate of the Work
ers' Party, will discuss real issues,
connecting the Communist election
campaign with the fight of the hard
coal miners. 1t is felt certain that a
bigger crowd will listen to him than
to the fat guys of the u. M. w. A.
who are scabbing politically on the
miners.
The rally will be preceded by an
automobile parade, which will start
$3.50 p. m. at Lackawanna Station.

holdup were known to Governor
Fuller when he was conductin; his
so-called Investigation" of t h e
Sacco-Vanzetti case because Mede
went to see him and told him the
story. But the millionaire governor
found this exoneration of Vanzetti
so distasteful that he called in a
state police office and Mede was
compelled to run away to avoid a
beating. Mede also went to see Cap
tain Blye of the Massachusetts
state police three weeks before the
execution, but the captain refused
to listen on the ground that it would
be damned embarrassing!"
After having heard Mede's story
Governor Fuller made the brazen as
sertion in his report that "Vanzetti
had been arrested, tried and convic-
ted of an attempted holdup on Dec.
"a, 1919, at Bridgewater, Mass, and
sentenced to Is years Imprisonment"
intending thereby to give the impress
sion that Vanzetti was a convicted
criminal.
The documents published in the
Outlook thus supply additional con-
firmation of the fact known to mill
ions of workers throughout the
world who fought to save Sacco and
Vanzetti from the bloody clutches
of Massachusetts, Justice" They
help to fill in the outlines of this
brutal and cold-blooded frame-up in
which two innocent workers were
murdered by the American capitalist
class.

said that he had at that time stated
that the local would break away
from the U. T. w. and sign up with
the new organization, the National

was approved unanimously by the

Elizabeth Berlinskey, secretary of
the local, said that although the

p0INCARE GOVT
CRISIS LOOMING
Religious In ident
Stresses Split

PARIS, Oct. 29.-The reactionary
Poincare National Union cabinet is
faced with crisis due to the situa-
ton arising from the shooting to
death of royalist by a gendarme
at the unwilling of monument at
Pons yesterday. The whole matter
brings to a head the opposition of
the royalist, fascist and liberal" ele-
ments in the cabinet on the question
of the restoration of church property
and the re-establishment of religious
missionary orders in France.
The press today generally con-
demned the hasty action of police
guards in firing on demonstrators
at the ceremony, at which Edouard
Herriot, member Of the government
and former premier, unveiled mem
orial to Emile Combes, also former
premier. Conbes was in office when
church and state were separated and
his name has always been anathema
to church adherents.
A young man named Gairaud was
killed in the melee. The gendarme
Cazet, who fired the shot which
killed him, was placed under arrest
Forty-two of those who joined in
the manifestation were arrested, but
all except seven were released to-
day.
Jean Brunei, rs, a royalist, con-
fessed he was the one who ruined

message of solidarity home by point
ing at the arrest of picleets and ex-

Cops Help Bosses.
The workers of the Madison Silk
Co. at 90 George Street, came out
strike after spectacular demon
stration on Saturday night of both
the militancy Of the workers and the
role of the police. A large picket
line was formed outside the mill
which soon swelled with the addi-
ton of the workers from the Jeffreiz
Shop, which had already settled. The
workers left the shop Is minutes
earlier than usual in order to help
the pickets. When it looked as
though the picket line would be very
effective police entered the mill and
led the workers out the back way.
Another undoubted demonstration
of the growing militancy of the
workers occurred at the huge mass
meeting last Friday night, when
I1500 workers cheered until they
were hoarse and shouted for LENA,
Lena" When Lena Cherchenke
finally arose to speak she was
greeted with q tremendous ovation.
She spoke of the need for large and
ungiving picket lines and especially
stressed the need for building the
union. Following her strong appeal
for members for the Associated
Silk Workers Union, many applica-
tons were filled out.
Pauline Reston and John Anti
man, the two picket arrested or
Saturday, appeared at court today
and were released with suspended
sentences.
At the mass meeting this morning
a special membership meeting of the
Associated Silk Workers Union was
announced for Friday night at TURF

Concerning the tariff, Foster
said:
''The Workers (Communist) Party
is opposed to tariff. 1t is wea-
pom in the hands Of the imperial
lists. 1t is the means by which the
capitalists are enabled to charge ex-
cessive prices in the domestic mar
ket and to sell below cost in the
foreign market. Trust monopoly
and high tariff go together. 1t is
the chief function Of the protective
tariff to secure unlimited monopoly
to the trusts. The interests of the
working class are against high
tariff"
