Nobody but a Fascist, whose brain

Italia fiasco seem liking an epoch

such an absurdity is the Italian

The picture was too much even
for the French capitalist papers.

film shows; "Too many Italians

lost their lives in trying to rescue
them from a voyage undertaken
by a presumptuous government,
idiotic propaganda and fool

GALES REBU|LDS
REFORMIST BLOCK

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 15.-The
restoration of Luis Leon to the cab
met of President allies as minister
OF agriculture is considered to be
slap in the faces of Manrique and
Soto y Cana, leaders of the ex-
IRENE reactionary wing of the Ma
tional Agrarian party. Leon had
previously baen dismissed from the
Gales cabinet on the excuse of an
alleged Scandal with the Spanish
actress Padilla.
The newly appointed minister of
agriculture is a close friend of Luis
N. Morones, who was ousted i'm
mediately after the assassination of
Oregon on the threatening demand
of the Obregonists agrarians. The
proposed general reorganization of
the cabinet is taken to indicate o
check on the concessions which have
been demanded and usually received
by the extreme ractionary wing Of
the Obregonistas since the murder

Struggles Looming
(By a WORKER Correspondent

by a Worker CORRESPONDENT
KANSAS CITY (By Mai).-The
Party and League organizations in
Kansas City successfully emerging
from the first stages of the election
campaign that is putting the Party
on the ballot is with equal success
entering the next stage of the cleo
ton campaign, the spreading of
Communist propaganda among the
exploited workers.
Despite the fact that we lack ex-
perienced speakers, open air meet
ings are being held throughout the
city. Not less than two meetings
a week. In two working class sec
tons the Party and League will
hold regular meetings every week.
One in Armourdale, at Shawnee
Park and Pyle St., every Wednes-
day, 8 o'clock in the evening. The
other in the Negro section of the
city, at the corners of N. 18th st.
and Troupe. Bethany Park will be
the third place where meetings will
be held. The meeting among the
Negro workers VIII be held every
Friday at 8 p. m.
The results of these meetings
prove that the worker here has
been slowly realizing his position.
The audiences, when the Commu-
mist speakers explain to them the
issues and problems of the workers,
enthusiastically agree with them.
Besides new contacts are established
and new Party and League members
recruited. We can confidentally
look forward and expect that be-
fore few short months are over a
Party and League organization of
a respectable size will be built up
in Kansas City.
The Party program is meeting
with particular success among the
Negro workers. They are realizing
that only the Communists are the
real champions of the workers and
that only through the realization of
the Communist program will the
Negro workers be emancipated as
workers and as a race. At the same
time the Party is actively engaged
in the election campaign better con-
tact is established as result of this
work with the workers in the local
industries. We can safely predict,
Judging from the conditions in the
factories and the sentiments of the
workers, that big industrial strug-
giles are looming on the horizon.
Particularly is this true in the
packing houses.

In the short period of its exist
ence, the Labor Sports Union has
achieved some remarkable successes
IN the field of sports. First, in con-
nection with the organization of the
Labor Sports Union in Detroit, Jan.
10, 1927, a national indoor athletic
and gymnastic meet was held. 1t
was the first labor sports meet of
it's kind and was a big success. In
this meet we had 100 athletes par
ticipating with 1000 spectators.
This laid firm basis for the
growth and activities of the Labor
Sports Union.
Just little over a year ago, the
Labor Sports Union held its first
track and field meet in Waukegan,
Ill. This outdoor meet surpassed
all our expectations. Over 800
athletes, coming from all parts of
the country, took part,
Give Lie to Enemies.
The enemies of the labor move
ment predicted that the meet would
be flop. In fact of all their wall
ings and lamentations the meet was
run off in as order a manner as
ever a meet run by the Amateur
Athletic Union, the official CAPT
talist sport organization. More so,
as the spectators and the athletes,
along with the officials, showed a
spirit of cooperation that cannot

Election for all officers of the

"The Old Familiar Faces"
Those elected were William
Doran, president; John Walsh, vice.
president; William Flood, recording
secretary; Matten Moran general
secretary; Timothy Hopkins secre-
tary -treasurer; Thomas McGirr,
Patrick Drew, David Holboon and
George Meaney for business agents;
John Hasset for compensation agent.
All these gentlemen served the
previous term. There was no oppo-
sition to them. The progressives of
local 463 failed this year to put up
slate of their own.
They are all typical A. F. of l..
takers. William Doran sat in jail
with Gear" Brindell for conspiracy.
Union conditions are not strictly
enforced on the jobs by these Off
Gals. The plumbers helpers are
neglected altogether.
Betray Helpers.
A new agreement with the masters
association will be signed soon. AL
ready Doran and his clique are Civ
ing hints that they will attempt to
betray the helpers is the new agree
ment. Everything, however does not
depend on them. The American
Association of Plumbers Helpers
will not allow these takers to be-
tray them. We will fight to the last
ditch.
According to reports of the elmer
circle" of Local 463 there is dis
agreement between Doran and
Leonard, the state organizer of the
United Association of Plumbers,
Steamfitters, and Gasfitters of North
America. No principles of any sort
are involved. 1t is simply a ques-
ton who should get more of the
gravy.

In Local No. /, of Brooklyn, there
were also general elections held for
all officers. The same men were
reelected. Oates is president; Ed

man only was defeated. He is

elected in his place. The official of
Local No. 1 sold out the plumbers
during the 1927 strike. For the last

Brooklyn are working without an
agreement.

Last year, outside of these two

Successful Indoor Meet.
An indoor athletic and gymnastic
meet was held in Detroit last Janu-
airy that compared favorably, both
in regards to the participants and
the spectators, with any meet ever
held in Detroit by any organization.
Over 200 athletes took part. The
events were held over a period of
two days, with nearly every indoor
sport, including boxing and wrest-
ling, on the program. Over 5000
workers attended the meet.
For some time past preparations
have been going on for the second
annual olympics of the L. S. u,
to be held Aug. 1926 in New York
at Wingate Field. To date over 300
entries have been received from all
parts of the country and more are
coming daily. Worker athletes and
their friends from the distant parts
of the country are organizing par
ties to come to the meet in Fords,
trucks and buses. Some will come
by trains at reduced rates secured
by the L. S. U.

FRANCE BUILDS
Il WAR VESSELS
Follows Franco Brit
ish Naval Pact

PARIS, Aug. 15.-Attempting to
appease the critics of the Franco
British naval pact who claim that
the pact is virtually an alliance be-
tween the two powers and provides
for pooling of the two navies in
time of war, government officials
today declared that the pact in no
way hindered the development of
the French navy, which is now con-
structing 81 modern worships.
1t was explained that Frances
position is peculiar" since she lost
nearly as many vessels as British
during the world war and has to
scrap many obsolete ships. A build
ing program therefore is necessary,
with a budget covering construction
until 1882.
Twenty-six modern ships will be
needed to replace obsolete vessels
before January, it was said, and 27
keels already have been laid down in
French shipyards.

PROGRESSIvES

Plan Free Speech Fight

(Bu a Worker Correspondentl

(BB WORKER Correspondent
LYNN, Mass, (By MaiD.-A
mass meeting of shoe workers in
this city was stopped recently by
the police and the speaker was or
dered to leave town Immediately.
The meeting was called under the
auspices of the Progressive Shoe
Workers, Lynn branch. William j
Ryan and Chester w. Bixby, of
averhill, were to be the principle
| speakers.
When Bixby arrived at Saster's
Hall on Andrew Street, he found
a score of police and detectives con-
gregated in front of the building
and he was told that the police had
notified the Saster's Aid Associa-
ton, who own the building, that
the hall could not be opened or the
meeting held in Lynn.
Bixby was taken aside by the in
spector in charge and told to leave
town Immediately or he would be
arrested.
There was a conference between
the committee and the speakers at
which it was decided that they
would postpone the meeting to a
date in the near future at which
they will be prepared for free
speech fight.
By eight thirty the street was
thronged with workers who had
come to attend the meeting. These
were notified of the action taken
by the committee and that there
would be meeting held in the city
of Lynn at an early date, possibly
next week The people showed their
resentment to the action of the po-
lice in very vehement manner.
Many of them suggested that tsar-
ism having been abolished in Russia
had been transferred to Lynn and
the United States.
The Progressive Shoe Workers
are now making arrangements to
pick up the challenge thrown down
to them by the bosses thru their po-
lice department. They are going
to enter a fight to determine
whether all free speech has been
suppressed in this city.
Altho the threat to arrest was
not carried out, Bixby was logged
by police detectives every step that
he took right IN to the time he took
the train about $50 p. m.
William J. Ryan is a member of
the Shoe Workers Protective
Union, Local 9, in Haverhill. He
was the general secretary-treasurer
of that organization for about five
years. Last January when an at
tempt was made to put over a wage
cut in Haverhill by the way of an
arbitration decision, it was Ryan
who led the revolt of the workers
and, after 16 day strike, reached
settlement with the manufactur-
ers for return to the prices of
1927 and 1928.
Bixby is also a member of the
same union, local 7, of Haverhill
and was one of the original organ
izers of his local He has held the
office of president of District l as
well as president of his local sever

with nearly nine hundred voting.
