ACW HEADS GUST
IT Allan LEADER
Had Assailed F a K e
Organization Drive

PHILADELPHIA. July 27.-For
exposing the so-called organization
drive of the officialdom of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union here as fake, Nicholas Flai-
ami, appointed as drive organizer
by the right wing before they be-
gan the campaign, was removed
from his position.
Flaiani. in an open letter to Presi-
dent Millman, had scathingly de-
nounced him and his staff of drive
leaders as desirous of organizing a
company union instead Of leading
the workers in a struggle against
the employers for union conditions
and recognition in the open-shop
market.
He was removed, it is nov seen,
for denouncing a leadership that in
vited Judge Allasandroni, a fascist
judge here, as a speaker to mass
meeting of unorganized Italian
workers. Allessandroni is a hench-
man and tool of the abor-hating
Ware machine.
Flaiani had also pointed out that
Hillman was trying to prove to the
employers here that it would be
more profitable for them to have
union rather than non-union shops.
Hillman had publicly stated this as
his position. The Amalgamated
chiefs, in coming here several weeks
ago, had also issued an edict nulli-
flying all the powers of the Phila-
delphia local and Joint Board, be-
cause they showed a desire to lead
a real struggle for unionization.

American Minister MacMurray and
T. V. Soong, of the Nationalist gov
ernment, signed today the new Chi
trade treaty of July
25, in which China is granted free
dom to assess tariffs on American

Japanese newspapers here attack

Workers Party

CWtreless to the Daily Vorker)
MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., July 27.-
The ninth session of the Communist
World Congress of the Communist
International opened here on the
twenty-fifth of July. Much of the
session was taken up with dis
cussion of the problems facing the
american Party.
Cannon Speaks.
Cannon, of the United States
stated that the right wing in the
United States constituted a grave
danger. He also declared that
majority of the Central Committee
Of the American Party fail to realize
that the progressive rehabilitation
of the workers and their opportunist
line prevents utilization of their
fighting possibilities. The same OPP
portunism presented the application
of the decision of the Red Interna-
tional of Trade Unions regarding
the organization of the unorganized
workers. The majority of the Cen
tral Committee committed serious
errors in all fields, he said. The
majority deny the right wing dan
ger and seek to mask their own op-
portunism by misrepresenting the
standpoint of the minority. He con-
cluded by declaring that the Comm
tern must correct these right wing
Errors because the majority was
ENABLE to do so.
: Bittleman, of the United States.
said that the majority of the Amer
lean Party has the wrong idea about
the growth of American. imperial
ism. He said that both the diminu-
tion of production and the market
ing difficulties being encountered
by American capitalism both at home
and abroad increase the danger of
war. He made demand that the
Communist International correct the
American Party's policy.
Weinstone's Speech.
Weinstone, of the United States.
declared that the -Bittelman
opposition was artificial and char
aeterless. He said that the minority
was equally responsible for all party
errors, as for example, the open let
ter to the social democratic leaders.
In May, he said, the minority ap-
proved the letter of the Executive
Committee of the Communist Inter-
national demanding political con-
solidation and the decision of the
Iay Plenum of the Central Commit
\ be were unanimously adopted. He
I aid that the minority has only al
tered its standpoint here. The
whole party, he said, has made mis-
takes but the Central Committee has
corrected the mistakes.
Measures have already been taken
to improve the work amongst the
Negroes. The Central Committee
thinks it impossible now to form
Labor Party on the basis of the Trade
Unions and hence the slogan is only
propagandist. The organization of
a Labor Party is only possible

WORM CATERERS
SO Boys Strike; Win 20 Psrce;.t Raise

The worm-workers, undismayed by
the company's stand, did not appeal
to the department of labor or to
the may or; they sat tight, refusing
to get any more worms for the bait
company.
The company's best efforts to Sc
cure supplies failed, and anglers
continually demanded fresh bait
from them. As a result, several
days afterward, the company was
forced to make complete surren-
der to the strikers, granting their
demands in full.

TORONTO, Can, July 27.--Local
workers in one of the most ancient
Of industries, worm-gathering, have
formed union and staged the most
successful strike in recent labor in
dustry.
When 5S boys formed probably
the first worm-gatherers' union in
history and turned on local bait
company with demand for a 20
PER cent increase in rates per 100
worms, the company refused to con-
slider It, thinking the grievance
would blow over after a few days.

To The Herald:
In these days Of These Chang

US to consider the changing of
some of the systems Of doing bus
mess for ard by some of the state
institutions?
One of the most serious problems
before the American people today
seems to be the farmers problem.
The products Of their labors COM
mand a low price, while products
they must Of necessity have, demand
a high price.
This state with its 1000 prisoners
is a direct competitor for the al
ready burdened business Of farm
ing.
Would IL not be we'll to look
about and see what a few of our
sister states are doing? Texas is
recognized as the only state in the
union TO reach the production of a
billion dollars in agriculture. This
means that Texas takes its place

ture.

ments ard binding Irvine bought an

act in the theater at New Haven.
Miss Fsrrar collapsed and withdrew
from the piece. thus necessitating the
immediate closing Of the company.
Mr.. Kent would fain have returned
TO his popular role in Rose Marie
but Charles Williams had apparently
made good with a vengeance, and
the management had no excuse for
displscing him.
Charlie finished the sttenuated

MALL RAIL SPUR
CAUSES ROW

The proposed route for temper
airy railroad spur to bring material
to the sites of the new buildings to
be erected in the Mall caused serious
objection at the meeting of the
streets and avenues committee OF
the Board of Trade which met
yesterday afternoon at the Univer-
sity Club.
G. ". Graham led the opposition
to the route, which would extend
along Ninth Street s. W., and then
west on B Street, saying that 1t
would cause a depreciation OF prop
erty values in the residential sec.
ton of southwest Washington. The
committee held that. If the right.
Of-way for the railroad should be
followed to go through the triangle
south of Pennsylvania Avenue. 1T
might remain there for possibly ~
years before its removal could be
obtained.
A subcommittee, composed Of
George C. Shinn, Mr.. Graham,
George r. Frazier and Robert l..
Iongstreet, will confer with the
District Commissioners and try to
determine route which will least
impair property values in that Sec
ton of the city.
Recommendation of the extension
OF Fourteenth St., through toe
