SMOOT R0ARS
COP. LOYALTY
Is Hurt at Democratic
Claims

WASHINGTON (FP). = Apostle
Reed Smoot of the Mormon Church
and the republican national commit
tee, sole survivor of the senate ring
that backed Taft in the convention
of 1912, has rushed out of his cave
with a menacing roar. He says it is
outrageous that Al Smith Raskob
and Robinson should dare to claim
that they are the friends of big
business in this country, when God
knows the G. 0. P. has alone kept
faith with organized private greed
in every campaign since Smoot be-
came an apostle and a pal of Jim
Watson. OF course he does not use
the word greed; he speaks of
business" but as chairman of the
senate finance committee he knows
the value Of soft words in the hard
trade of rulership.
Smoot is angry because Smith and
Robinson are siding around to the
high protective tariff attitude.
Their nerve in trying to make the
business men believe that the demo-
cratic party is friendly to business
even big business-after all these
long years of their denunciation of
predatory wealth and the high tar
iff barons, almost breaks his heart.
He reviews their record Of low
tariff agitations and warns the
business men who may be about to
write checks for campaign funds to
be on guard and stand by their true
friends.

dren, many of whose parents are
now in jail, predominated. Among
the pickets were mothers, brothers
and sisters of the fifteen Juveniles
whose cases were still pending in
the New Bedford district court late
yesterday.
Leaders of the New Bedford Tex
tile Workers Union yesterday heard
with amusement in their cells of the
latest attempt of William Batty,
president of the Textile Council, to
collaborate with the bosses through
vote to submit the question of ar
Ditration to its various unions, TAX
en- by the council without recon-
mendation.
The action is admittedly a ges-
ture to satisfy criticism that the
rank and file of the Textile Council
unions are being influenced by the
leadership for its own personal
ends.
Shrouding its decisions in secrecy
the New Bedford Cotton Manufac-
turers Association yesterday met to
consider the State Boards recon-
mendation for arbitration. A state
ment given out on behalf of John
Sullivan, president of the associa-
ton, stated that Mr.. Sullivan did
not feel at liberty to make any
statement whatever until he had
communicated with the State Board.

MINERS FAIR
WILL Be HELD
This SUNDAY
Many Organizations to
Participate

While John L. Lewis is complet-
ing his betrayal of the striking coal
miners, this time in the Illinois
fields, where he is dickering with
the operators for an agreement far
below the Jacksonville scale which
will undoubtedly exclude completely
the thousands of militants who have
earned his hatred, the National
Miners Relief Committee, 100
Broadway, continues to speed its
work of furnishing all possible re-
lief to thousands of miners and
their families.
Miners Solidarity Fair.
All the energies of the organiza-
ton are now concentrating on the
great Miners Solidarity Fair, to be
held in Pleasant Bay Park, Sunday,
which is expected to furnish funds
that will be converted into food,
shelter and clothing for many thou
sands of men, women and children
in the coal fields who are on the
verge of starvation.
The Solidarity Fair is being ar
ranged on a huge scale and large
number of working class organiza-
tons, representing various nation
alities, will participate. The pro-
gram will include music by the Rus
sian Balaleika Orchestra and two
Lithuanian choruses, the Aida
Chorus and the Liras Chorus; Polish
children dancers, tableaux by the
Workers Relief Scouts, athletics
and sports Of all sorts, with the
Freiheit Soccer Club playing a
prominent part; refreshments and
dancing to the music of a jazz
band.
Strike Film.
The two chief numbers will be
the miners strike film, which will
be shown for the first time, and the
taking of moving pictures of the
big Solidarity parade, in which
many well-known workers organ
izations will take part.
Many workers organizations are
preparing to attend the fair in a
body and thousands of other work
ers will be present. Tickets are
selling fast and should be bought at
once. They are on sale at 35 cents

GROCERY CLERKS
FIGHT FRAME-UP
Police Stop Picketing;
Assault Workers

Charges that grocery bosses of
Bathgate Ave, the Bronx, have
conspired with police officials Of
the precinct to frame up several of
the leading members Of the organ
ization were made yesterday by Of
ficers Of the Retail Grocery and
Dairy Clerks Union. Three union
members, including the organizer of
the body, have been lodged in Jail.
Bail was set by police officers de-
liberately at such exorbitant fig
ures, it was charged, that the union
was unable to provide it.
Police Stop Picketing.
Following Immediately upon the
original move to put over the frame
mp, the first steps of which were
made last week, police sergeants of
the Bathgate and fremont st. sta
ton yesterday prevented all pick
citing by the union from before
struck shops in the section and
viciously attacked one of the pick
cts who asserted his rights to en-
tinue.
Union officers declared yesterday
that they would expose the whole
frame-up and would proceed against
the police sergeant who had as
saulted the worker.
The three workers who are held
in the frame-up case are Irving
Friedman, Jack Nestle and David
Wecker, organizer of the union.
Bail was yesterday reduced from
$500 each for Friedman and Nestle
to $4,000 and from $4,000 to $4,000
for Wecker.
Scab Bosses.
The frame-up case arose out of
felonious assault charges by Adolph
Gingold, operator of a scab shop at
1916 Bathgate Ave, against the
workers who were peaceably pick
citing the place when attacked by
thugs, said to have been employed by
the bosses. In the attack Friedman
was badly injured with a Ratchet
swung by one of the thugs.
The Retail Grocery and Dairy
Clerks Union is fighting against the
92-hour week and against a wage
scale which does not average above
S25. In many shops which already
have been forced 10 settle with the
union the hours have been reduced
by twenty and twenty-five per week
and wages have been raised to $40
per week. There has been a strong
increase in the union membership.

PEASANT LIMOGES
PASS OWN LAWS
Rival Congress Meets
In Rumania

VIENNA, Aug. 1.-The separate
parliament put up by the Peasant
Party of Rumania, at session in
which many rich landlords, profess
SIGNALS and politicians participated,
has been passing its own legislation
and has virtually set up an indie
pendent government, according to
reports from Bucharest.
Although it is impossible to get
detailed information, due to the
strict censorship at Bucharest, it
has been learned that it has warned
the banks not to lend money to the
rival Bratianu government, which it
claims is no longer responsible.

The leaflets were issued by the
Y ung Workers (Communist)
League in connection with the re-
cent shirt strike here of the young
girl workers of the Jaco Co. The
leaflet pointed out that the strike
was betrayed and sold out by the
officials of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers. It stated that the
girls had gone out on strike because
Of the intended wage-cut and that
now that they had returned with
out a definite agreement with the
boss as to wages, there Is the great
likelihood of a new actual cut in
the wages.
The girls were urged, in the leaf
let, to organize themselves into fac
tory committees in order to have
an effective means with which to
improve their conditions as against
the desire of the boss to lower their
standards of living.
Members of the league distributed
leaflets also at all the other shirt
factories in the city.
