SOCIALIST PARTY
SAYS No CLASS
STRUGGLE IN u. S.
Rev. N. Thomas, James
Maurer, Candidates

On the day when 100000 additional
miners and 10000 textile workers
went out on strike, and less than a
year after the murder by the. capital
ist class of Sacco and Vanzetti, the
socialist party, holding its national
convention here, decided to delete
from it's constitution formal recogni-
tion of the class struggle in the
United States.
By an amendment passed at yester-
days session of the convention, which
is being held at the Finnish Socialist
Hall, 2056 Fifth Ave, applicants for
membership in the socialist party will
no longer be required 10 give lip
service to the idea of struggle be-
tween the capitalist class and the
workingclass.
Rev. Norman Thomas was chosen
as the socialist party's candidate for
president in the 1928 elections, and
James Maurer as the candidate for
vice president.
At Sundays session Victor Berger
was elected national chairman of the
party and Morris Hillquit interna
tional secretary.

Abe Rosenkrantz, a striking fruit

In their week-old strike the fruit

Strike Spreads.
Especial to The Dailg Workerl

PITTSBURGH, April 16.-Despite
the extreme terrorism and threats of
evictions a steady stream of non
union miners continued today to pour
out from the coal pits.
Three hundred men left the Avella
mines. A similar number walked out
at the P. & w. Mine at Coverdale.
AT Midland number one mine only
fifty men have remained at work and
these will be out this evening as soon
as they bring up their tools.
Mass picketing organized by the
Save-the-Union Committee is bring
ing tremendous response. Women in
Meadowland have made a special ap-
peal to the women of the scab mines.
AS a result only rs miners appeared
at the tipple. Tear gas bombs have
been thrown by state troopers, but
picketing has increased in spite of the
terrorism by the police.
Stifle False Rumors.
False rumors that the strike In the
unorganized fields had been called off
were circulated over the radio by

When Sam Caddy, international or

Classmates Plan Appeal
for Communist Poet

MADISON, Wis, April 16.-Stu-
dents at the University of Wisconsin
here have made plans for raising
funds for an appeal for David Cor
don, member of the Young Workers
(Communist) League, now in the
New York County Reformatory for a
poem published in The DAILY
WORKER, organ of the Workers
(Communist) Party.
The Keymen of America, the Amer
lean Legion, the Daughters of the
American Revolution and similar or
ganizations took exception to criti-
cism of capitalist culture contained
in the poem and instigated the prose
cution of the young author as part of
a general attack on The DAILY

Gordon came here with Zona Gale

his studies to appear in New York
two weeks ago did not appear to
realize that he was going to prison

A total of 107 men and women were

the demonstrators. Thirty-one were
in Jail from the time of their arrest
until after the trial today. The dem

"The government, of which this

The Textile Mill Committees in

of a rank and file strike committee
to ensure the strike against be-

The committees are raising demands
for 20 per cent increase in wages,

With a response seldom rivalled fol-

textile workers here went on strike
yesterday morning against the 27 New

By Times Special

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, March 5.-Sharp
warnings against overconfldence in
AL Smiths camp have been for
warded to New York by Tammany
emissaries here, following confer
enceS with southern and western
Democrats and private inquiry into
the presidential aims Of Senator
Reed of Missouri and Senator Walsh
of Montana
The tenor of these reports is that
the South will not accept the New
York Governor without o desperate
convention fight, and that both
Reed and Walsh are serious in their
President candidates..
At first these pesSimistic reports
were scoffed at by generals of the
Smith campaign, who took 1T Tor
granted that Smith had only to be
put in nomination to win.
Reeds plan to enter the California
primary, for instance, has alarmed
the Smith people, who Thoughts he
would limit his activities TO mlddIe
western territory.
They had been assured that CAL
ifornia was safe for the New Yorker
and would send a Smith-first dele
CATION to Houston. Though a Reed
Smith primary scrap is not relished.
it may provide the counterpart for
the Willis Hoover controversy in
Ohio.
The Smith people also were
counting on a considerable support
from the mountain states and the
far West, where a sizeable organiza~
ton has been built up for the New
Yorker. But Walshs entry may in
cline some of these supposedly first
ballot Smith delegations to stay with
the Montana man so long as he
seems to have chance.
With "favorite son" candidates. as
plentiful as cotton below the Mason
and Dixon line, and Reed and Walsh
digging in for a prolonged battle,
Smith may enter the balloting with
no more votes than he had in 1924.
