AID FOR CHINESE
WORKERS URGED

MOSCOW (By Mail).-The agi-
tation and propaganda department
OF the Red International of Labor
Unions sent out today to all sections
and adherents of the organization
the following letter:
Dear Comrades:-
In accordance with the decision
OF the Congress Of the Hilu, an in
ternational fortnight of help for the
Chinese labor movement is to be
held.
Fight Terror.
This fortnight of help is to be a
worthy reply of the international
proletariat to the unrestrained
white terror which continues to
rage over the territory of China, to
the lnterventionist carousals of all
the imperialist powers and espe-
cially of Japan; to the unintermit-
tent bloody repressions against the
militant labor movement and the
Chinese revolution in general. The
Rilu and all its affiliated organiza-
tons must respond to the appeal
for help made by our Chinese
brothers by organizing a broad
mass campaign of help for the Chi
nese proletariat. This campaign
should consist of acquainting the
wide masses of the toilers with the
Chinese events, of organizing moral
and material help for the Chinese
workers, especially by money COL
lections, for the labor movement in
China.
In its telegram of June IS last,
the executive bureau of the Rilu
called upon all it's affiliated organ
izations to comence energetic prep
arations for this campaign immedi-
ately. How are these preparations
to be carried out?
Plan Campaign.
In the first place commission
for the preparation and the execu-
ton of the fortnight should be i'm
mediately organized, to which should
be attracted for joint work repre-
sentatives of the following organ
izations: The Party, the |. G. w.

ialist League, the Hands off China

class paper alive. There are so en-
ployes at the camp, all of them
unionized, all of them working an
eight-hour day and six-day week.
The Workers (Communist) Party
members among them have voted to
contribute an entire weeks wages
to the Daily Worker. And the non
Party employees will certainly not
lag behind.
The Nitgedaiget Unit of the
Workers (Communist) Party has
taken charge of Daily Worker
Week and has outlined program
of activity. Various games have
been arranged and other play de-
vices are being used to raise
funds. Tomorrow will be Prohibi-
ton Day: certain activities and
luxuries will be prohibited to the
campers, and all those indulping
will have to pay a tax to the Daily
Worker. Judges have been elected
from whose decisions there can be
no appeal. Saturday will be literature
day at the camp and a literature
bazaar will be held under the direc-
ton of M. BALM, agitprop director
of the Nitgedaiget Unit.
And the Nitgedaiget dining-room
is respondent with signs. "This is
Daily Worker Week, Camp Nitge-
daiget Must Go Over the Top"

Union, Support the Daily Worker"

class struggle to the workers and exploited
formers turnout the United States-the men
who will be called on to hurl the Du Pont ex-
plosives at the workers and farmers of other
countries in the next imperialist war, and who
will be the targets for the high explosives of
the Du Points of other imperialist governments.
The workers and poor farmers of the United
States should work and vote for the Commun-
1st ticket, join the Workers (Communist)
Party, and mobilize for the fight that will end
imperialism, war, unemployment, and poverty
forever
This must be the answer of the American
working masses to Pierre Du Points $4,000

These and other slogans are keep
ing the vacationers from forgetting
that this is Daily Worker Week and
that they have a duty to perform.
Thus Camp Nitgedaiget plays its
part in the struggles of the Amer
lean workers. 1t is only on rare
occasions such as the present that
public collections are made. But
thru other devices funds are con-
stantly being raised for working
class causes. And during the pres
ent summer the camp has contribu-
ted hundreds of dollars to miners
relief and the Joint Defense.
Which is as it should be. There is
no forgetting here where the work
ers rule, where we can sense that
power that some day shall be ours.
No exrloiters, no bosses, no police
doing the dirty work of their mas
tiers. In this workers republic.
where the camp manager, B. Cohen,
IS chief commissar, the strength of
our class is everywhere palpable,
giving strength to the great struggle
that goes on around it on picket
lines, in trade unions, in the political
field.

UOOVER'S acceptance beech
"a places him definitely with the
most consciously reactionary wing
of the republican party. He has
digested Harding, Jess Smith, A. B.
Fall, Harry Daugherty, CASTOR B.
Means and William Burns, the
"prophesying stool-pigeon." Hoover
boasts of the successes of the G. o.
P. administration since it took over
the task of running this country for
the capitalists from the monumental
hypocrite Woodrow Wilson. The
administration reduced taxes. For
whom? What else did the admins
tration accomplish?

pERHAPS the brain of the en-
cheering genius was so busily
engaged planning big things that
Hoover did not have time to follow
the track of Teapot Dome. Let us
refresh the good militarist quaker's
memory. The Harding administra-
ton turned the department of JUS
tice into cut-rate drug store where
the best bootleggers were always
welcome and where federal protec-
ton could be purchased wholesale at
a considerable discount. Business
was so brisk that Attorney General
Daugherty who was up to his neck
in strikebreaking activities could not
handle all the graft problems that
came to him for solution. So he in
stalled an assistant in the depart
ment of justice as head of the
Bureau of Graft, Concessions and
Protection.

UNFORTUNATELY Smith, was
y not seasoned enough for the job !
tho he had many years experience 1
as a free lance swindler and the !
poor fellow blew his brains out when
die felt that the country was being
sold out to the highest bidders~and
that this was going to fear. Jess
would not object to peddling the
navy or the oil reserves, but when
it was rumored that Daugherty, was
about to ask for bids on the white
house and treasury building, Smith
got scared and bumped himself of.
At least the papers had it that he
did, but there are others who claim
that the dirty work was taken off
his hands.

Told You So

HERBERT HOOVER has accented
the G. 0. P. nomination for the
presidency and the country cat
breathe easier. It would be a ter
rlble situation if he had turned i.
down and put the public thru tho
ordeal of enduring another repuh-
l1can convention. Herbert trotted
out the old dinner pail which exhaled
delightful odor of garlic and
onions in addition to tbs pork and
beans of former G. o. P. presi-
dental campaigns. It is true thar
Hoover scorned the "fulI dinner
pail" slogan as inadequate. So he
threw in the flavoring by sugges-
ton.
HOOVER talked money and no
a. doubt he expects that money will
talk back in the elections. Billions
for public works are dangled before
the eyes of the workingclass voters.
The old delusion that victory for
the republican party meant more
corn on the workingmans cob and
more fat on his ribs is expected to
ring the bell again for the G. o. n,
And when the worker learned from
hungry experience that this was the
hokum he decided to switch his vote
to the democrats only to find that
he was only jumping from a cess
pool into a sewer.

THESE are accomplishments that
Hoover conveniently ignores
when paying his tribute to the most
corrupt administration in the his
tory of American politics. He halls
Coolidge as "great president, "a
canny small-bore politician, who
might qualify for a position as as
sistant editor of the Ladies' Home
Journal but outside the United
States, there is no other country in
the world-not even Albania-where
he could rise to position in public
life equal in prestige to that of vii
lage pope in Bulgaria.

Vermont, took his seat. Warren G.

played poker and frequently wrapped
himself around potent beverage

cronies, Harry Daugherty, A. B.

TEAPOT DOME squirted all over
I the white house. Things looked
so ominous that optimistic radicals
smelled a revolution thru the
stencil. Calvin Coolidge shulked in
the recesses of the white house and
his lips were as tight as the fists of
dead miser. The looters of the
naval oil reserves and other graft
mongers were forced out of the
cabinet, but to. this date only one
scapegoat--a fellow to sold the
crutches that were intended for
crippled war-veterans-wa sent to
the penitentiary. The others went
scott free with their graft. And
neither Hoover nor Coolidge nor any
other member of the cabinet raised
voice against the thieves.

"Red Shoes for Luck"
 Is Mayfair's Gift Hobby

London, April R-Mayfair so- ciety has reverted 10 folk lore as the basis for novelties. Red shoes and slippers are the thing just now.
 For birthdays, anniversaries of various kinds and other occasions where gifts are desired. old time su- perstitions have been dug out of the moldy past and given a nice color- ful touch of modernism.
 Red shooes for luck" is the May fair slogan.
 In the days Of old the present of a fair of shoes of any color. or some trinket in the form of shoes. was universally considered to imply the wish for a happy and prosperous journey along life's pathway.
 It was common practice for a pair of charm" shoes wrought in wood, brass and sometimes even in gold. to be hung up near the fire place to ensure happiness of the home.
 These trinkets have reappeared in the novelty shops, and are the vogue. being as popular here as was the Teddy Bear in America when Theodore Roosevelt was in the White House.

Peasant Women Active
 In Soviet Politics

Moscow, April. 5. R-Russian peasant women are taking an in- creasingly large share in political activities. says Tass,. the Russian official news agency, in summing up data on their participation in soviet elections.
 During 1927. six and ne-half millions of women voted in the various elections of the rural soviets and 146,251 were elected members Of the soviets. or 11.3 per cent of the total. In the urban soviets more than 21.o00 women. or 21.5 per cent serve.
 Twelve per cent of the members of the communist party are wo- men.
 There is noticeable growth al- so in the number of women in in- dustrial work and a reduction in the number of illiterate women, more than 622,000 having been taught to read and write since 1922.

Rensselaer,, \. Y., April 5. (P- Rest oration of Fort Crailo where Yankee Doodle was written is be- ing sought by an organization in which women have a prominent part.
 The movement was fostered by Miss Mildred Van Vic Patterson. founder of the Dutch Settlers of Albany. Among its spo-sors are Mrs. Charles White Ncsh, formol New York State regent, Daughter of the American Revolution, and Dr. Alexander c. Flick, New York state historian. The organization formed is known as the Fort Crailo association.
 The tradition connecting Fort Crailo with the origin of Yankee Doodle" ranked by o. G. sonneck, chief Of the music division of the Library Of Congress, as one of the four great American songs. goes back to 175S. At that time Genera James Abercrombie and his staff stopped at the fort on their way to attack Fort Ticonderoga.
 Dr. Richard Shuckburgh, Brit ish surgeon. is said to have been so amused by the motley costumes of the American recruits struggling in from the surrounding country that he sat down by a well at the rear of the fort and composed the now famous song.
 The building was privately own- ed until 1924 when it Was given to New York state. No appropriation has been made for it's upkeep. al- though it is 'preserved as a memorial of events preceding and during the revolution"
 A bronze tablet on the building states that it is supposed to be the oldest building in the United States and 10 have been erected in 164o as 9 manor house and place of defense.'
