Five thousand workers gathered
yesterday in Pleasant Bay Park on
Long Island Sound to participate in
the huge Red Campaign picnic ar
ranged by the Workers (Communist)
Party to inaugurate its election drive.
The picnic, according to reports from
those in charge of the affair, was
big success. The rain, which had
lasted through the morning and part
of the afternoon, failed to- keep the
workers away from this, the most
significant affair held here this sum
mer.
Communist sailors from the Ger
man ship Tirpitz came to the picnic,
carrying the red banner Of the sea
mems communist fraction aboard the
vessel Workers from all the trades
were represented. Workers (Com-
munist) Party members, Young Work
ers (Communist) League members,
Young Pioneers, delegates from scores
of labor organizations attended.
The workers gathered in the spaci-
Gus grounds of the park were adj
dressed by Robert Minor, editor of
The DAILY WORKER, and Workers
(Communist) Party candidate for U.
senator from New York State, and
by the spokesman of the German COM
mumst sailors.
The picnic came to an end with q
dance in which all those who were
present participated, and the initia-
ton of the statewide election cam

BEAL SENTENCED
FOR PICKETING;
TO "TRY" 5 MORE
Led Picket Demonstration in New Bedford in
Spite of Police Edict
Plan Larger Demonstrations Than Ever; Judges
Refuse Delay to Murdoch. Beal

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June "a
Fred E. Beal, organizer Of the Textile
Mills Committee, and one Of the lead
crs of the textile strike here, was
yesterday sentenced to serve 30 days
in Jail for leading picketing demon
stration at the gates of the Nonquit
Mills. Five other strikers were ar
rested while pickering this mill, in
defiance Of police order, and are to
go to trial in few days.
The attorneys for the scores of
strikers under heavy jail sentences
and fines have succeeded in getting
combinations Of their cases till No
vember. but the Massachusetts, judges
are refusing to grant delays to the
two leaders of the strike, Murdoch
and Beal The strike leaders attor-
neys are now attempting to appeal
to higher courts for reversals and de-
lays.
This tactic Of the mill owners of
falling the strike heads is proving
fruitless as the rank and file picket
leaders, developed during the strug-
gle, are leading larger and larger
demonstrations to the mill gates
every day.
Exceptionally large demonstrations
are planned for this morning, as the
strike enters the 18th week. These
demonstrations have hitherto pre-
vented the mill owners from attempt
ing to open the plants. The strikers
are already beginning to mobilize all
their forcess for an offensive against
the bosses, who do not deny that they
will try to open the mill gates July
70. Although the strong determine
ton exhibited by the wide masses of
the $4,000 on strike shows that there
will be no assertions from the ranks,
the workers are prepared to prevent
the importation of scabs.

ARREST SIX IN
COAST RED RAIDS
nti-Imperialist League
Leaders Seized

LOS ANGELES, Calf, June a.
The beginning of nationwide perse-
cution of Japanese and other Oriental
workers is seen in the arrest of three
Japanese, and the same number of
Americans, workers in Los Angeles
yesterday, 1t is expected that de-
portations will follow in the case of
the three Japanese.
Following the police seizure of N.
Nishimura, Y. Yamgehi and NJ.
Hawai-, three Japanese, accused of
Communist activities here, members
of the bomb squad also entered the
headquarters of the All-America Anti
Imperialist League at 122 West
Third street. and arrested George
Maurer, well-known labor leader,
Edith Berkman, the local secretary of
the All-American Anti-Imperialist
League and Paul G. Reiss, agent for
The DAILY WORKER in the Los An
geles district.
Maurer and his companies were
rushed to police headquarters where
after severe questioning, which
lasted for nearly an hour, they were
finally released.
The arrests are the result of the
activities of the California police in
running down alleged Communists and
members of the All-American Anti
Imperialist League, It was in seares,
Of the latter. the police claim that
they arrested the three Japanese
workers.
Immediately after their raid, the
police communicated with the Japan
ese consul, Midzusawa, who declared
that his government is prepared to
take extraordinary measures to as
sist the United States in suppressing
Communism among Japanese i'm
migrants in this country. None of
the men arrested is said to be an
American citizen.
Steps have already been taken to
deport the three japanese workers
and it is blieved that a wholesale
persecution of Japanese and other
Oriental workers on the west coast
is preparing.

MOBILE RESCUED
WITH 5 OF CREW
Rescuers Now Looking
for Amundsen Plane

LONDON, June 24.-With Com
mander Umberto Mobile, leader of the
Italia expedition, brought to safety by
a Swedish plane, and no fears felt for
his five companions on an ice floe off
North East land, the efforts Of the
rescuers were concentrated today on
the hunt for Amundsen and his five
companions, and the ten members of
the Italia crew who are still un-
accounted for.
With Amundsen in the French
hydroplane were Lief Dietrichsen, a
Norwegian; Rene Bilbaud, pilot Of the
plane, and three other Frenchmen.
They are believed to have come down
in the vicinity of Spitzbergen, theory
which receives credence from the fact
that their radio had only limited
sending range.
LONDON, June 24.-Another SOS
call came out Of the Arctic today as
plans were rushed to go to the aid Of
Roald Amundsen and his five COM
panions lost since>last Monday when
they flew from Tromsoe, Norway in a
French plane to search for missing
members of the crew of the dirigible
Italia.

DEMOCRATIC MEET
OPENS TOMORROW
Stage Is All Set for the
Choosing of Smith

HOUSTON, Tex, June 24.-With
the complete collapse of even the fake
opposition of Senator James A. Reed,
of Missouri, the stage is all set here
for the several hundred mannikins
who on Tuesday will begin going thru
the motions of choosing Gov. Smith as
the democratic candidate for presi-
dent. Reed has declared he would
support the ticket, no matter who
runs.
Set against the background of the
Negro lynching which occurred here
several days ago and which all the
delegates have been finding it con-
venient to forget, the convention of
the party that flavors its complete
subservience to Big Business with
remnants of southern feudalism will
probably see even less Opposition" to
the picked candidate than did the re-
publican party convention at Kansas
City.
Moody Rallies Opposition"
At present this so-called opposition
seems to be. grouping itself around
Gov. Dan Moody of Texas. Moody is
supposedly rallying the "dry" forces,
but his supporters include number
of SWEETS" as we'll. He is also being
groomed as possible running mate
for Smith.
The great tissue" of the convention
ostensibly centers around the prohibi-
zion plank. It is thought likely that
Gov. Smith will be persuaded to
modify his uncompromising wetness
sufficiently to please both sides and
.ather in the votes of "drys" as we'll

FRAMED MINER is
FOUND GUILTY IN
DYNAMITINC CASE
Jury Packed With Mine
Officials

Especial to The DAILY WORKER
WHEELING, w. Va, June 81 (By
MaiD .-Convicted in a framed-up
dynamiting conspiracy in a trial in
which the jury and the chief wit
nesses were mine officials and scabs,
Frank Brbot, striking miner of Tria-
delphia, faces the extreme penalty
unless the mass protests of the work
ing class can force his release.
Appeal to Prejudice
"And I ask every member of this
jury as an American citizen. to bring
in a verdict of guilty" With this
appeal to anti-foreign prejudice, A.
c. Schiller, prosecuting attorney of
Wheeling County, closed the states
case against Brbot, who was con-
victed Wednesday, June 20, Of taking
part in the dynaniting of a scab's
house.
Argument on motion for new
trial was opened Friday by Attorney
Charles Roger Ahrens before Judge
Ritz in intermediate court. Though
Brbot was an active picket and
worked energetically for the further
ance of the strike, and though the
majority of the states witnesses were
mine officials and scab employees, the
defense was not permitted at any
time during the two-day trial to in
troduce the strike as an issue directly
involved in the case. One of the chief
witnesses against the striker was o,
8 Pryor, superintendent Of the Tria-
delphia No. 2 mine of the Elm Grove
Mining Company, where Brbot had
been employed.
The prosecutions case was based
on confession wrurg from Brbot
by beating him into state of semi
consciousness on the lonely hillside
road where he was arrested.

HOOVER Will NOT
WITHDRAW TROOPS
To Follow Coolid g e
Policies Exactly

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Amer-
lean marines will not be withdrawn
from China, Nicaragua or Hayti
while President Coolidge remains in
the White House. Authoritative as
surances to this effect have already
been given in those countries.
If Secretary Hoover is elected pres
ident next November, American ma
.rines will not be withdrawn from
China until a government appears
there that win protect American
property without the assistance of
the armed forces of the United States.
They will not be withdrawn from
Nicaragua until the new president
whom the Nicaraguan people elect
November and his administration are
firmly established. They will not be
withdrawn from Hayti until the
pending treaty between the United
States and Hayti expires, or is abb
rogated by the American Congress.
Secretary Hoover has told leaders
that he is just as strongly and sin
cerely in sympathy with the program
of President Coolidge in the field of
foreign relations as in the field of
domestic affairs. This all impor
tant fact will be pTle plain in the
address of acceptance which the Re-
publican nominee for president will
deliver from his home at Leland
Stanford University late in July or
early in August.

DAILY WORKER TO
FACE HARD TIMES
Workers Must Keep Up
Aid Over Summer

With all of the $4,000 raised by
the militant workers of this country
to save The DAILY WORKER al
ready turned over to creditors to meet
immediate obligations, the possibility
immediate obligations, the Importance
of securing The DAILY WORKER
for the summer months now becomes
more apparent than ever. The DAILY"
is in the position of a cCnvalescent
person, who, though he has success
fully fought through his illness, is so
weakened that he is not out of danger.
future.
1t is up to the militant workers of
this country to tide the Daily" over
the summer, the most difficult peri
cd of the year. The sharp falling off
Of contributions during the last few
days points to a danger. The DAILY
WORKER must not again face such a
situation as it was confronted with
only short time ago, when its life
was saved only by the generous re-
spouse of workers throughout the
country. The existence of the Daily
must be secured by a continuation of
this response.
Camp Aids
That class conscious workers are
realizing this and are preparing to
assure the Daiiy's existence is evi-
denced by decision of the directors
Of Camp Trombenick, workers
camp at Glenham, N. Y. This camp,
which is ordinarily open only to mem
bers, will take in about 100 visitors
over July 4 and turn over all the
profits to The DAILY WORKER and
the striking miners. The camp has
also contributed $3.50 to the Daily"
and will send more.
Another organization that is help
ing to keep The DAILY WORKER
going is the Workers Club of Chica-
go, which has sent in SIS. Workers
and workingclass clubs of various
kinds must follow the example +
these two organizations if The

fighting in the interests OIL the Amer

Personally, this writer is a Re-
publican, and has always been a Re-
publican, with the exception of the
time he followed Theodore Roosevelt
off into the Bull Moose forest. And
we make no apology for that.
Roosevelt was our ideal of what
an American should be. Time has
not changed our opinion Of him. This
year, if it interests you at all, we
are certainly going to vote for Her
bert Hoover. The Democratic candi-
date, AL Smith, is undoubtedly a
good man. Amy man who receives
the nomination for president at the
hands of great political party must
be good man and capable. Make
no mistakes about that. But we be-
lieve Hoover is the most capable man
that any party has nominated for
the presidency in many long year.
We believe Hoover to be man Of
exceptional ability along construc-
tive as well as administrative lines.
Perhaps he hasn't the personal popu-
larity of his worthy opponent, but
when we elected president we sure
ly look beyond a good greeter,
mixer and handshaker. Be that as
it may, however, Hoover gets our
little old one vote. Cast yours for
the man Of your own choice. It is
your privilege to do SO"

Railroads Win LIST,
Inning Of Hearing

st. Paul, Oct. 4.-(R-Railroads
won the first inning in their battle
opposing the establishment Of joint
rates by truck lines today when the
railroad and warehouse commission
ruled that a hearing must be held
considering the merits of the joint
rate proposal before they can be es-
tablished.
The commission set Friday, Oct.
II, as the date for hearing the pro-
posal. At bearing Sept. q. at
torneys for the railroads argued
that the trun!. lines did not have the
right to snploy the joint rates until
after a public hearing. Attorneys
for the truck operators proposing
the joint rates, who are members of
the St. Paul and Minneapolis Term
inal association, asserted that it was
within the scope of the powers of
trucks granted under their certifi-
Gates Of public convenience and ne
cessity to establish the new rates.
In the meantime the commission
has suspended the joint rates in
part, making exceptions of four
operators, Raymond Brothers, St.
Cloud; the Otter Tail Truck lines,
Fergus Falls; and Robert Schmidt
and Robert Chase, Alexandria.
