The matter of the foreclosure on
the hall was taken up and discuss

it was thought best by all that they
be ignored, and no protest made at
the hearing next Saturday. Some
of the school directors being pres
enc, they were asked regarding
the school district building an adj

Efforts have already been starteu
in a number of cities to prevent
George Pershing, cousin of the no
torious lingo, General John Per-
shing, from speaking on the tour
which he is conducting under the
auspices of the All-America Anti
Imperialist League.
The young militant. who was for
merly soldier in Hawaii and who
is now devoting himself entirely to
the working class, is exposing on
his tour the Hoover imperialist
junket to Central and South Amer
lea and is also talking on American
imperialism in the colleges.
In Saginaw, Mich, where he is
scheduled to speak soon, the au-
thorities have already indicated that
they would refuse to allow him to
speak. Pershing is, however, de-
termined to go through with his
scheduled talk.
His itinerary will also include
Grand Rapids, Mich; Toledo, Ohio;
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Whining
ton, Del; Baltimore, Washington,
D. c., and New York City. The
dates will be announced later.

II Nuovo Monde is the same
newspaper which has always

Great Farm Losses

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 21.-Rivers
of the southwest were receding rap
idly today and forecasts of contin-
ued fair weather and rising tenn
perature indicated relief from dis
astrous floods of last week.
Only in sections of Missouri,
where the Missouri River still was
belching the overflow waters of its
tributaries, did conditions remain
above normal. The situation there,
however, was not considered grave.
Butler, Mo, isolated for almost
five days, had restored railroad SER
vice today and the first mail since
Friday was brought to that town.
Crippled train service was being
restored rapidly in Kansas and Mis-
souri, and train officials declared the
crisis of the worst tie-up in history
in this section has been reached.

manned at thirty.

Wobblies ought to know but don't.
Halls were closed and the strike was
off. But the men rebelled and seized
the New York office, thinking they
had the national headquarters. But
Andy had false lease and it turned
out that he had the national office
still in Boston.
"The men were so sore about the
II. S. U. that the l. w. w. came in
and with militant talk and sup

something phoney about the l. w.

1923 the Marine Transport Workers
of the |. w. w. called strike for
the three-watch system, the release
of political prisoners, 500 month
and other demands the men didn't
fully understand or thought were
utopian.
"Even at this, a few companies
offered to sign agreements, but the
I w. w. has holy horror of agree
ments 'on principle and the men
couldn't see what they were fighting
for. So the strike lust collapsed ard
the seamen left the I. W. w. dis
gusted. Since then the men are I'M
organized and drifting at the mercy
of the ship owners. No union, no
struggle; no struggle, no good con-
ditions.
Thousands "On the Beach"
We learned from the lips of sea
men themselves that naturalization.
the method of eliminating men with
machinery is just as far advanced
on the sea as it is in the Detroit
auto factories. At the Seamen's club
% South St., they tell you the story
of thousands of seamen 'on the
beach without a job, of ships that
once carried So men cut to 40, and

America have forced the two-watch
system on the men.
"Now the Marine Workers Prog
ressive League" said its secretary,
'is out with a program of organiza-
ton and men who have learned from
the mistakes of both the /. S. U. and
the I. w. w. are laying the basis
for new seamen's union which will
not be divided into nine different
crafts like the l. S. U. and the I. L.
A., but will take in all men in the
industry and fight naturalization
with organization"
What naturalization is, and what
it is doing on the sea and to the
seamen will be told in the articles
appearing tomorrow.

Brokers Shiver When
Selling Wave Hits the
Stock Market Prices

The stock exchange got a bit
jumpy yesterday when some of the
big boys, apparently, decided that
it was good time to skim the cream
eff the Hoover boom that has sent
the market wild since Hoover was
elected.
The wave of selling caused
shiver to go down the spines of
spectators, some of them at least,
and prices broke in a selling mar
ket. General Electric fell points,
but finally closed only 70 below the
start. Montgomery Ward, Case
Threshing and international Har-
vester broke IL and 13 points from
the start.
There is fear on the exchange
that this may mean crash, If not
now, then later. The market is
worried over a big increase in
brokers' loans. But, hopeful, as
usual, they say perhaps yesterday
means only a lull in an upward
market.

During the period of the miners

of such committees were organized,

During the entire period of the

Rout in Verbal Tilt

Harold Williams, a Negro worker,

tered Russian czarist in the flesh.
At 533 Lenox Ave, as a combined

that he would not carry the Negro
Champion on his stand because it
was Communist organ. He re-
ferred to the last issue previous to
election day, which had as head
line, "Vote Communist" He stated
that he had come to this country
from Russia and that all Bolshe-
visits were thieves, because they, at
the time of the revolution Che being
fairly rich), had confiscated all his
property and wealth. eff l had my

make such a statement as the Daily
Worker made in reference to the
Vestris disaster that the Negro
crew was perfectly right in the fact
that they saved themselves instead
of saving the white parasites p"
Williams replied: you're on your
last legs now, here in Harlem, and
you should be ashamed of yourself,
after living from the earnings of
the oppressed Negroes, to refuse
our publication because it encour-
ages the Negroes to organize AS
soon as the Negro is sufficiently or
