SOCIALISTS IN
DEAL WITH COP,
Communist arty Bares
Betrayal

Following Immediately upon the
exposure that socialist" leaders in
the right wing needle trades unions
here received 100000, half of
which was provided by Colonel Her.
bert H. Lehman, banker and Tam
many candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, another revelation has
been made of the close relations of
the socialists and the capitalist polit-
ical machines. A statement issued
yesterday by District 2 of the
Workers (Communist) Party dis
closures an agreement" by the So
cialist party to support the can
didaey of Feorio La Guardia, demo-
gogue and candidate for Congress
on the republican ticket.
The fund of 100000, which was
subscribed to by Lehman for Tam
many Hall, the yellow Jewish For
ward and the fake radical leaders of
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union, as was disclosed in the Daily
Worker expose of Saturday, was de-
livered to Benjamin Schlesinger,
right wing leader of the discredited
International Ladies Garment Work
ers' Union, for the purpose of fight
ing the left wing.
The statement of the New York
District Executive Committee of the
Workers (Communist) Party fol-
lows:
The Tammany deal of the So
cialists is not the first of it's kind in
the election campaign We find an
other deal between socialists and the
republicans that has just been con-
summated in the endorsement of the
candidacy of Louis P Goldberg in
the 23rd assembly district, Browns
vile, running on the socialist ticket,
for which, in exchange, the socialists
will give their secret or open sup
port to the candidacy of Feorio La
Guardia in the goth congressional
district of New York.
Tammany Hall and Boss Allies.
The exposure by the Daily Worker
of the 100000 fund raised by the
socialist bureaucrats to maintain a
company union in the needle trades
and to fight against the establish
ment of a real militant rank and
file union proves what the Workers
(Communist) Party has been sta
ting all the time, that the socialists,
the New York Forwards, have been
in an alliance with Tammany Hall

Rumanian-Po Pact
Revealed

BERLIN, Oct. 2S.-An aggressive
military bloc against the Soviet
Union, formed by the British and
French governments along the west
ern and southern frontiers of the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics,
has been revealed here in many of
its details.
One account reports in full detail
the activities of French and British
militarist statesmen in the forma-
tion of the Polish-Rumanian military
pact of aggression, with the inclu-
sion of Czechoslovakia as a muni-
tion supplying center, and the pos
sible adherence of the other buffer
states of eastern Europe.
The bloc along the southern from
tier of the Soviet Union is COM
posed of the military alliance of
Persia, Afghanistan and Turkey,

British and French Arm.
Both accounts appeared in the
German press this morning and even
such reactionary papers as the
"Germania," official organ of the
German Centrist Party, and the Ost-
Express, Berlin news agency in
the East, claiming authoritative
sources, speak of both pacts as be-
ing directly aimed at the Soviet
Union, step taken by the British
and the French in their combined
policy of military aggression.
Due to unrest both in Afghanis-
tan and in India among the peasant
and working class population, it is
a known fact that the British have
been maneuvering with the Afghan
istan, Persian and Egyptian native
governments to create an effectual
alliance directed against the Soviet
Union and against revolutionary up
risings in the countries themselves.
That finally such an alliance has
been completed is no surprise to stu
dents of the situation. Persia has
always served Britain as an eastern

Union So. Meet Hits
Anti -USSR Bloc

Another mass demonstration was
added to the record of working class
activity in New York when from
three to four thousand workers
gathered at the north end of Union
Square on Saturday afternoon to
protest the war preparations of the
Wall Street government on the oc-
casion of a nationally proclaimed
Navy Day. The demonstration was
held under the auspices of District
2, Workers (Communist) Party.

"Vote Communist" posters, speak

the same time exposing the role of
the three capitalist parties, republi-
can, democratic and socialist, as
part and parcel of the imperialist
war machine.
1t was difficult to estimate the
exact number of workers at the
meeting, due to the large number of
workers coming and going, some
estimates running as high as five
thousand. The workers responded
with great interest to the speeches,

party, and cheers for the Soviet

THUGS ATTACK

Wicks Is Slugged at
Union Session

The regular meeting of the Pro-
gressive Party of Typographical
Union No. of New York was vio-
lently broken up by gangsters and
policemen at Stuyvesant High School
auditorium yesterday afternoon,
when the real progressive forces
tried to force w. D. Medcalf, presi-
dent of that organization, to recog-
nize an appeal from his arbitrary
and dishonest rulings.
The meeting eliminated in a vi
cious assault by thugs upon H. M.
Wicks, prominent member Of the
Typographical Union, one time edi-
tor Of the official organ of the Pro-
gressive Party, and now of the edi-
torial staff of the Daily Worker,
when Wicks demanded that Medcalf
relinquish the chair after John
Simons, chairman of the composing
room of the New York Times, had
appealed from a ruling to refuse a
vote on an important matter.
When the appeal was made, Med
calf. recognized one of his hench-
men instead of leaving the chair.
At that point Wicks walked up to
the platform and demanded that
Medcalf leave the chair and permit
the appeal to be made. One of the
reactionaries, Fred Mccain, a lack
ey Of Leon H. Rouse, president of
big Six," arose and challenged the
membership of Wicks.
Wicks retorted that only coward
ly rats, afraid to debate issues would
raise such question and that his
membership was as good as Nc

membership demanding that the
chairman get out and permit the
to be conducted properly,
the reactionaries were in a tight

than 800 workers, most of them steel
workers and Negroes, cheered Will

for president, when he spoke here at
Eagle Hall at a Workers (Commu-

Foster emphasized the widespread
unemployment in the country and
presented the Communist unemploy-

the danger of new imperialist war

that only the abolition of the CAPT
talist system can abolish wars and
such evils as unemployment and the
speed-up. The Red nominee also
attacked the labor takers who are
urging the workers to vote for the
capitalist parties.
Many Negro workers greeted Fos-

and expressed their enthusiasm for
the Communist program.
L. Sisselman, special agent for the
Daily Worker, also spoke, urging
the workers to subscribe to the only
working class daily in the English

SILK STRIKERS
FOR MILITANCY

Especial to the Daily Workerj

(SpectGt to the DdtIy WOrker)
PATERSON, N. j., Oct. 28.-
Sentiment among the striking silk
workers here for more militant
conduct of the strike crystallized to-
day when II members of the strike
committee of so presented in written
form a sharp criticism of the COM
promise tactics of their union lead
ers. The letter proposed that steps
be taken Immediately for a fighting
policy against the bosses in order to
win the strike of the silk workers.
After a lengthy discussion at the
strike committee meeting today, the
officialdom succeeded in defeating
adoption of the suggested policies
by vote of % to %.
Confirm Criticism.
Although the leaders after the
most strenuous efforts succeeded in
mastering enough votes to defeat the
statement, they showed by the "ar-
guments" they presented to the rank
and file advocates of the statement
that all their charges were true. 1t
was also felt that if decision had
been left to the general membership,
it would have resulted in an adop-
ton.
The officials, however, were un-
able to sidestep the demands of the
militant strike committee members
that a. general membership meeting
be called. After acquiescing to the
motion for a membership meeting,
the leadership announced that call
for the ribbon workers will be in
cluded. These workers are not on
strike and the leaders hope to find

700 Children Cheer
Communist Demands

Workers Children have no bread,
Working parents must vote Red"
This ran as a combined refrain
and slogan thru the meeting of 700
workers children at Webster Hall
yesterday afternoon, called by the
Young Pioneers of America to ac-
quaint them with the issues in the
election campaign.
The meeting was full of enthu-
siasm from the very beginning when
triumphant cohorts of children,
representing the Pioneers, some nom
partisan schools and other workers
children organizations marched into
the hall, bearing signs and singing
songs.
When Jack Rubinstein arose to
describe the struggle of the workers
in New Bedford, he was greeted
with. storm of cheers that would
not be put down. Other speakers
were Herbert Zam, of the Young
Workers (Communist) Lesgue, Jesse
Taft, of the Pioneers, who outlined
the demands of the working class
children, and Bert Miller, who repre-
sented the Workers (Communist)
Party. Charles Wilson, Pioneer,
was chairman.
After series of tableaux, staged
by the children, songs and cheers,
the meeting unanimously decided
that all working parents must vote
Communist.

RED TICKET

Communists Forced to
Secure Separate
Petitions
Is Thirty-FOurth State
Predict New Bans on
Red Campaign
Is Thirty-F State

Special Cable to The Daily Worker
PROVIDENCE, R. l., Oct. 49,
The thirty-fourth state in which
there will be a Communist ticket on
the ballot in this years election
was conquered when Rhode Island
was put in the Red column. The
total number of states in which the
oppressed workers and farmers will
be able to vote for Communist can
didates is now nearly two and a
half times as great as in the last
presidential elections of 1924.
Overcome Obstacles.
Despite tremendous difficulties in
the open-shop state of Rhode Island,
where the industrial barons meet
with little opposition due to the un-
organized condition of the workers,
the Party comrades were able to
collect 500 certified signatures to
put the Party ticket on the ballot.
The Party organization is still quite
weak in that state, and it meant
hard and constant work on the part
of the state election campaign COM
mittee to put the ticket across.
Separate petitions had to be used
for each office and elector, a pro-
cedure intended to make the job of
getting working class ticket on
the ballot more difficult.
Funds Needed.
Putting Rhode Island on the bal
lot was delayed because of lack of
funds. For time there was a real
danger that this state would not go
on, and it is still possible that some
of the "a states already on the bal
lot may be contested at the last min
ute by the reactionaries. The only
way to insure successful fight
against such procedure is an inn
mediate and generous response to
the $1,000 Election Drive-Anti-
Terror Emergency Fund, which the
National Election campaign Com
nittee has announced. Send all
money collected directly to the head
quarters of the committee at 43
Fast 125th St., New York City, and
deal your blow at the open-shoppers
and terrorists.

FULLER KNEW
BOTH INNOCENT
Evidence
of Witnesses

BOSTON, Oct. 28.-The part that
Governor Alvan T. Fuller of Massa-
chusetts played in the frame-up and
railroading to the electric chair of
Sacco and Vanzetti is being revealed
here as result of new confessions
made by the hold-up men who en-
gineered the famous Bridgewater
robbery for which Vanzetti was con-
victed and which paved the way for
the legal murder of the two labor
martyrs.
Fuller Knew.
Frank Silva, a professional hold
up man has confessed his part in
the first robbery. In addition "Big
Chief" Jim Mede, operator of a
criminal hang-out, has made out an
affidavit that he went in person to
Governor Fuller at the time the lat
ter was Investigating" the case and
reported the innocence of Saeco and
Vanzetti to the millionaire open shop
governor.
The confession states that the gov
ernor called state police officer
and Mede was forced to flee from
his office.
In the new data secured by the
Outlook, a semi-liberal publication,
there is given further evidence that
Fuller was furnished with an Amer
ican Express Company receipt show
ing that on Saturday, Dec. 20, 1919,
the day of the robbery, a forty
pound barrel of live eels had been
shipped by the firm of Corso and
Cannizzo to Vanzetti at Plymouth.
This evidence Fuller likewise sup
pressed.
Judge Thayer Also Knew.
Practically the same information,
it is revealed, was known by Judge
Webster Thayer, who likewise con-
tinued with the frame-up against
the two innocent workers despite the
evidence of their innocence and the
clamor of millions of workers thru
out the world.
The Outlook comments editorially
on the evidence which reveals the
part played by Fuller as follows:
"As for Governor Fuller, we have
seen that he had knowledge of two
vital developments after the men
were sentenced to death and before
they were executed. One was big
chief Mede's confessed knowledge
that others than Sacco and Van
zetti had perpetrated the Bridge
water crime; the other was docu-
mentary evidence that Vanzetti did
have eels to sell the day before
Christmas. Why did he make no
mention of either of them"
