UNITED HEBREW
TRADES TAKERS
SPLIT old UNION
Militants Will Begin
Organization Drive

A large section of the membership
Of the Jewish Butcher Workers I'm
ion, which is affiliated with the re-
dictionary United Hebrew Trades
revolted against the union wrecking
tactics of their socialist officialdom
and called upon the six progressives
expelled from the old union several
days ago, to form a new and genu-
inely democratic organization which
will conduct an honest fight for the
betterment of working standards.
This was formally accomplished yes
terday when the establishment of the
Progressive Butchers Union was an
nounced.
When the campaign of disruption
carried on for the past few months
by the right wing leaders of the old
union reached its climax by the ex-
pulsion of the six progressive work
ers at a membership meeting early
this week, a large section of the
membership decided to call halt to
the reactionary policies of the right
wing leaders.
But when the expulsion of the six
workers was followed up by attempts
at removing them from their jobs,
by threatening violence to the mill
tants involved, two reactions took
place. One was the driving away of
the right wing official who came to
order the dismissal of the militant
from his place of work, at ID Rut-
gers place and the other was the
rystallized decision to cut away
from the nest of grafters that COM
pose the decayed United Hebrew
Trades Union.
With the beginning of the new
week the leaders of the new union
movement declare thy expect to have
enrolled more than half of the pres
ent membership of the old union. In
few days, the progressive leaders
announced, the new union will choose
permanent officers for the prosecu-
ton of the contemplated organiza-
eution drive. The ousted workers were
because they were chosen
as committee to investigate the
finance accounts kept by the socialist
bureaucrats.
In taking this step the butcher
workers become the second organiza-
ton to launch an open struggle
against the United Hebrew Trades.
The first was the Retail Fruit, Groc-
cry and Dairy Clerks Union, whose
bitter struggle with the U. H. T.
thugs ended in their gaining COM
plete control of the industry.

FRAME FASCIST FOES
Zamboni Is Sentenced to Thirty Years

ROME, Sept. 7.-Mammolo Fam
boni and his sister-in-law. Virginia
Tabarroni, both on trial" before a
special fascist tribunal in connec-
ton with an attempt on the life of
Mussolini in October, 1925, were to-
day sentenced to 80 years each.
Ludovico Zamboni, son Of Mammolo,
was acquitted.
The sentence ended a long story
of personal persecution on the part
of the fascist premier, dating from
one of series of attempts" on his
life in Bologna in October, 1926.
Anteo Zamboni, young son of Nam
molo, was lynched by mob of
blackshirts Immediately after the
attempt, altho his guilt" had never
been proved. The Zambonis were
enemies of the fascist regime.
Considerable doubt has been ex-

there could be no appeal. Saturday
William Abrams, member of the
staff of the Communist Yiddish
daily, "The Freiheit," was the field
marshal in the drive His ingenious
mind and enthusiastic spirit domi-
mated the entire campaign. ~.
Nucleus Active.
Primarily responsible Tor the sue
cess of the Daily Worker Week was
the active nucleus of the Workers
Community Party at Unity. Bass
the unit organizer, was here, there,
and everywhere during the entire
seven days Of the campaign. Sam
Daicksel, the sprightly social direc-
tor, helped not only with his effec-
tive and eloquent announcements at
dinner-time, but with concrete sug-
gestions for adding to the "fines
and punishments" of the campers.
Comrade Siegel, secretary of the
cooperative which conducts Unity,
made himself into popular hero by
his ingenuity in gathering funds for
the. Daily. Not only did the Com
munists at the camp throw all their
energies into the campaign, but the
non-Party members, many of them
working at the camp, brought much
enthusiasm into the drive.
Nathaniel Buchwald, dramatic
critic of the Freiheit, brought his
famous pipe along with him, and his
fruitful and witty mind aided the
campaign enormously. M. Sultan,
Harry Fox, promotion manager of
the Daily Worker, Dave Lyons of
the W. I. R. camp, Sam Dassa, Celia
Samorodin, Sophie Kniznick, Com
rades Feldman and Berkowitz-all
these threw themselves might and
main into the campaign.
A Soviet.
Camp Unity has a Workers Coun-
Gil. 1t meets each week and takes
up not only the relations Of the
camp employees with the manage
ment, but also recommendation for
the improvement of the camp. The
Workers Council was in the fore
front of the campaign.
Nearly $4,000 was expended in
improving the camp this year, &C
cording to manager Rifkin. A large
number of workers, many Of them
from the native community, helped
in the construction.
"In spite of the low wages gener-
ally paid in this section" said Riv-
kin, "these workers received the
union scale. We hired no contrac-
tors, whatever. Interesting, isn't it,
but many of these workers from the
communities joined the Party and
are now active.
No Special Privileges.
No attempt is made to create a
utopia for the camp workers, the
manager said. 1T is unsound for
an employee to expect to get special
privileges here just because we are
a workingclass camp. On the con-
trary, because we are a workingclass
camp, he should be even more con-
scientious-he must show the true
proletarian spirit"
Two thousand workers cooperate
in the management of Camp Unity
and in addition to the camp there
is also a residence for working wo-

pressed as to the authenticity of the
series of attempts" on Mussolini's
life, and prominent labor leaders
have charged that the affairs have
been pre-arranged so as to offer an
excuse for the fascist terror
No injury has resulted in any of
the attempts, but Immediately after
each severe repressions have fol-
lowed, in which thousands Of Ital-
ian workers were killed, injured and
jailed
The trial of the elder Zamboni
and his sister-in-law was farce, in
which many witnesses were over
awed who testified as to the alb
sence of the accused from Bologna
on the day of the alleged attempt.
A few witnesses against the accused,
all fascists, were sufficient to frame
the Zambonis.

and were distributed free to them.
This became one of the features of
the strike meetings. Almost in no
time the bundles would disappear.
The Daily Worker became the strik-
ers' paper, and because of the fact
that no strike bulletin could be is
sued in the field, became the strike
bulletin of the textile strikers in
the field. Already hundreds have
given their names for permanent
subscription. Because they have
seen that only the Communist press,
only the Daily Worker could be re-
lied on day in and day out to give
the correct news. and to rally all
forces for the defense of the strike.
Suppose there had been no Daily
Worker? I can safely say that the
loss of the Daily Worker to the
strikers would have been deep
and telling blow which might have
had the most serious effects upon
the strike as whole.
All the comrades working in the
field have felt the great support the
Daily gives them in mobilizing the
masses and wiping out the poison
that their enemies daily try to
spread in the ranks of the workers.
The Party and left wing is NOV
ing along in mass work. It's effects
are being felt more and more. Now
more than ever we need the Daily
Worker. 1t is up to the workers
textile and others in the various
centers in the U. S. to get behind

Asked about work among the Ne

speakers are being sent into the
backward southern states, and an
energetic campaign conducted.

cially concerned about the Commu-

"Our Party is a party of the

viciously exploited of the American
workers, we, of course, put special
emphasis on our campaign among
them"
The interview ended, the Daily
Worker representative happened to
descend the stairs of. the National
Office with a bland young man from
the New York Times.

from Times Square, "but he's sure

party, unemployment, the Negro,
prohibition, the present plight of the
impoverished farmers, the new
miners union, the New Bedford
strike.
The Communist candidates are
now on the ballot in 10 states, in
Guiding several backward southern
states, Foster said In response to a
question from one of the reporters
as to whether or not he expected to
win any of the states, Foster re-
piled:
"Our program is based on a larger
perspective than just that. We have
no illusions about our ability to win
states just at this time. We will
nevertheless carry on an energetic
campaign of propaganda and organi-
cation among the masses of the
workers and farmers thruout the
United States"
Kellogg Pact.
Discussing the Kellogg "peace"
pact, Foster told the reporters that
it was a fake gesture, forced by the
proposal made by the Soviet Union
at Geneva for complete scrapping of
ornaments. Unmasked by the COM
prehensive proposal of the u. S. S.
R. Foster said, the world imperialists
are now backing the Kellogg scheme
in an effort to hide their prepare
tons for new bloody war
Primarily, Foster said, the KEEL
logg pact is intended as a move
against the Soviet Union. 1.-THE
utter insincerity of the scheme" he
said, twas conclusively revealed in
the statement which accompanied
Soviet Russia's adherance to the
pact"
Its Greatest Support.
The candidates and platform Of
the Workers (Communist) Party
will get their greatest support in
the coming election, Foster said, in
those sections where the Party has
taken an active, and often leading
role in the industrial struggles. Fos-
ter cited the activity of militants in
the mine, needle trades and textile
struggles.
Thousands of farmers" the Com
munist candidate said,. bankrupt
and impoverished, and convinced of
the futility of expecting genuine aid
from the capitalist government, will
rally to the banner of our Party"
Declaring that most of the So
called leaders of the disconnected
farmers have been repeatedly bribed
in one form or another, Foster cited
the case of the McNary- Haugen
bill. Curious, isn't it," Foster said,
that McNary, the co-author of the
bill, Immediately after President
Coolidge vetoed the bill, suddenly
announced his support of Coolidge"
In response to another question,
Foster said that no issues existed
between the republican and demo-
cratic parties. "They are both par
ties of business" he said Foster
cited the fact that many powerful
corporations are investing in the
campaign funds of both parties.
"Insull of Illinois, who made hand
some contributions to both parties,
is only one of the gang" he said.
Work Among Negroes.
Foster told of the campaign tours
being arranged by the Workers
Party throughout the United States.

By ALBERT WEIsBORD.

The Daily Worker has proved to
be of really inestimable aid to the
textile strikers in New Bedford and
Fall River. In Fall River the capt.
talist press simply rotted with ven
emous poison against the workers.
In the very first day of the strike
there appeared special editorial to
the citizens of Fall River, telling
them to be steady, that the red flag
of Communism would never fly in
Fall River and the strikers would
soon be crushed. This open filth
was peddled daily and appeared in
every news line concerning the
strike.
In New Bedford the papers play
ed more clever role. In many
subtle ways by boosting the labor
bureaucrats, by innuendoes against
the T. M. C. organizers, by playing
up the strikebreaking role of the
socialist party and such persons as
Powers Hapgood and Mary Dono-
van, the New Bedford press has
done it's bit all too we'll to break
the resistance of the workers.
In this situation the only paper
the workers could turn to was the
Daily Worker. The Daily Worker
