10000 ATTEND
DAILY CARNIVAL
Workers Come Despite
Threatening Weather

Ten thousand New York workers
yesterday attended the International
Costume Carnival of the Daily
Worker at Pleasant Bay Park, bring
ing to successful climax an event
that the cloudy weather earlier in
the day had threatened to halt.
Throughout the day the staff of the
Daily Worker was kept busy answer
ing the calls of workers who wanted
to find out the directions to Pleasant
Bay Park.
Many features enlivened the huge
affair. Costumes of all nationalities
were exhibited, with the various
American worker and farmer cos
tunes predominant. People arrayed
in Russian peasant costumes, work
ers costumes, Chinese, German and
Balkan Rarbs made the festival a
gaudy affair.
In the midst of the festivities, the
workers gathered in one part of the
grounds in a mass meeting to hear
the speeches of Bert Miller, Richard
B. Moore and D. BENJAMIN.
After the big carnival was over
and the workers had departed for
their homes, a statement was re-
leased by the arrangement commit
tee apologizing for the lack of ade-
quate preparations in food and re-
freshments. This was due, accord
ing to the committee, to the threat
ening weather of the forenoon, which
had caused them to think that not
many workers would come to the
Carnival The statement further
went on to say that thanks was due
to the many Daily Worker agents
whose hearty cooperation had made
possible the successful carnival.

He pointed out that the errors of
the insurrection were that: it began
in Sumatra two months after it had
already begun in Java; the whole

main attack was concentrated on the
capital, where strong forces of po-
lice and soldiery were present; and
lastly, the insurrection was insult

Sikander, of India, then spoke and

WOLL IN ATTACK
ON COMMUNISTS
'Shipload Of Cold That
Alas We Didn't Get

Matthew Woll, reactionary vice
president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor and collaboration with
the big open-shop employers, yes
terday issued another statement to
the capitalist press intended to in
jure the organization of workers in
industries where the unions have
been destroyed by Woll and his as
sociates.
Woll's humor took the form of a
statement that "shiploads of money"
were being sent to the Workers
(Communist) Party of America from
the Soviet Union.
His attack further went on to say
that Communist "aeents" have been
using the money "to finance many
of the employers against whom or
ganized labor has been fighting for
many years, and who themselves
are A erican labor's worst
enemies" Woll's statement follows
in part:
"The new campaign aims at es-
tablishment of dual unions-duplicate
unions in fields occupied by unions
affiliated with the American Fede-
ration of Labor. Money apparently
has come from Russia in large guam
titles to finance this work.
Communists have found their
boring from within procedure has
led to no concrete results. The at
titude of the American Federation
of Labor in supporting every inter
national union having 'borers' within
its membership has nullified their
efforts.
while not directly conceding it,
indirectly the Communists have con-
ceded the success of the American
Federation of Labor in defeating
the boring procedure. Now, by ex-'
plicit direction of Moscow, of which
we have absolute and detailed evil
dence in abundance, Communists in
America have changed their policy,
coming completely into the open to
organize dual unions.
"Their departure into the field of
open organization covers so wide a
range as to be startling develop
ment in the Communist plan for
world revolution.
"What we are dealing with is not
the ultimate failure of the plan but
the present phases of it and the fact
that it must be stopped.
Communists efforts at dual or
ganization are found today in the
needle trades, centefing in New
York, the railway shop unions, build

Pointing out the intensification of
the class struggle that has taken
place since the murder of Sacco and
Vanzetti a year ago, the General
Executive Committee of the Work
ers (Communist) Party, in a state
ment issued last night, appeals to
all American workers to express
their class solidarity and their de-
termination to overthrow the capi-
talist system by attending en- masse
the Sacco-Vanzetti demonstration
that are being arranged thruout the
country by the International Labor
Defense.
The statement of the Central
Executive Committee follows:
A year has passed since the death
of Sacco and Vanzetti who were
murdered by capitalist justice for
the triple crime of being fighters
for the cause of labor, aliens" and
workers. The crime of the Amer
