Workers to Rally in
Union So. Saturday

At the same time that Secretary
Kellogg's "anti-war" pact is being
paraded around Europe and Amer
lea to blind the eyes of workers the
world over to the feverish prepara-
ton for new and bloodier blood
bath, news comes from England of
the construction of a fleet of war
cruisers calculated to outshoot and
outdistance the battleships of a
similar class Of any other imperial
ist power. British imperialists
point with pride to these latest ad-
ditions to the forces of British i'm
perialisn1, saying that all the guns
in these ships can not only fire at
an increased rate, but have ranges
Of 16 miles.
Thousands of New York workers,
rot taken in by the so-called anti
war pact promulgated by govern
ment whose marines are numbering
workers and farmers in Nicaragua
and whose gunboats are in China,
will gather in Union Square on Sat-

the growing war danger and against
the plots of the imperialist powers

T. MOTORMAN FRAMED
ON HOMICIDE CHARGE

Arraigned on charge of man
slaughter in one of the most aston
ishingly brazen frame-ups yet at
tempted, Stanley Zellig, motorman
of the Sixth Ave. Interborough
train involved in the Sunday night
wreck, yesterday was held under
$4,000 bail following the death of
John Garlic, one of the passengers
injured in the collision.
The full meaning of the vicious
frame-up of the innocent motorman
became apparent Immediately after
the court proceedings yesterday
through an announcement from the
hypocritical illegal" department of
the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company that it had washed it's
hands of the case of the worker
whom company representative at
first appeared to defend"
ZelIig Still Dazed.
Zellig, with his head swathed in
bandages, hardly able to stand or
to speak coherently, appeared in
court to answer the charge and was
then shunted off to a cell to await
the bond. One of the most gro
tesque> farces yet staged by the
traction gang which controls the dis
pensation of justice in New York
City just as it controls the admin
istration of practically every other
so-called public commodity, was the
appearance of one of it's legal staff,
Lee M. ,Hutchins, on behalf of the
innocent motorman.
In what was obviously a prear-
ranged plan between the district at
torney's office and the Interborough
legal department, headed by Rough
Stuff" Quackenbush, to divert at
tention from the company's guilt
and to fasten the blame upon the
worker, acting district attorney Pc
cora argued that the "motorman
should be held to a greater degree
of accountability for passengers in
his charge" The Interborough at
torney, forced to admit that Zellig
had never had an accident in his fif-
teen years with the scab traction

RED ARMY
MAKES BIG ADVANCE

HONGKONG, July 81. = The
Chinese Red army of 10000 workers
and peasants today was within 40
miles southeast of Changsha, with
the capture of the city of Ii Long.
The worker peasant army has been
steadily advancing for the past
twenty-four hours. Risings of far
mers and workers against the war
lords have invariably occurred in
advance Of the arrival of the Red
troops.
Stirred by the steady success of
the Red troops the workers of Can
ton are said to be on the verge of
a revolt against the Kuomintang war
lords. Additional reinforcements
have been rushed against the work
ers by the Kuomintang war lords
to no avail.
Fear of the Red troops has re-
suited in continuation of the execu-
tions of workers on a large scale by
the Cantonese authorities.

Chamberlain to Meet
Kellogg

PARIS, July 81 (UP).-
Secret negotiations, w h c h
have been conducted for the
past two months, have resulted
in a naval agreement between
France and Great Britain, the
foreign office announced today.
LONDON, July 81. - Austen
Chamberlain accepted today the in
vitation extended to him by the
French government to meet Kel-
logg and representatives of the
other powers to sign the kellogg"
pact in Paris on August 27, at the
same time sending the text of the
Franco British naval pact to Kel-
logg.
Lloyd George, commenting on the
Kellogg plan, said that unless it
were followed by disarmament on
the part of the powers the people
would understand that they had been
tricked and that the whole thing
was "hum-bug".
In the meanwhile the naval pact
entered into by England and France
is still being kept secret until "the
naval authorities determine how
much of it they want known"
Chamberlain explained In the
house of commons that the naval
pact was not an agreement as to
definite reductions but essentially
formula of principles"

10000 CALCUTTA
WORKERS STRIKE
(Cable to the Daily Worker)

CALCUTTA, India, July ST.
Twenty thousand workers employed
at the jute spinning mills in Bouri
went on strike today in protest
against the brutality of the police in
wounding 23 of their fellow-workers.
When workers in the Bouri jute-
spinning mills held meeting among
themselves near the factory recently,
the owners of the plant called the
police to break it up. Coming i'm
mediately after the call was received,
the police began to shoot at the
workers. In the general fight that
followed, after the workers resent
ment of the police tactics forced
them to defend themselves, % work
ers, 13 policemen and one officer
were wounded.

Workers Victims of
Many Lay-offs
(By Worker Correspondent


We workers in the National Bis
cult Company are very glad that
J meetings are being held every Fri
day in front of the company gates
on the platform of the Workers
(Communist) Party l notice that
not many workers stand around to
listen. Most of them stay seated
around the buildings and don't come
over. But that's not because they
don't want to, but because they're
afraid to listen, since many spies are
around who will report them to the
foremen. You bet the bosses don't
want US to learn about the Workers
Party because then we would learn
how to organize and fight the bosses
against low wages and many lay
offs and the speed-up system.
l wish the speakers would change
to another corner, as they said they
would last week. l know that the
company brings out its locomotive on
purpose so that the speakers can't be
heard. | think that 9th Avenue and
18th Street would be better.
Many Lay-Offs.

conditions are very bad. If they are

FACTION NALISM IN
U. S, is WITHOUT
POLITICAL BASIS
Bukharin Stresses Wa
Trade Union Work

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., July
31.-Nicolai Bukharin, Chair
man of Executive Committee
of the Communist Interna-
tional, was greeted with pro-
tracted applause when he arose
in the fifteenth session to be-
gin his closing speech of the
discussion of his theses at the
World Congress Of the Com
munist international, now in
progress here.
Bukharin declared that the dis
cussion had been rather positive and
had produced criticism and self
criticism. He remarked that almost
all of the Communist parties in the
International had participated in the
discussion. The basis of the discus
sion, he said, had been very broad,
with representatives of the Com
munist parties from all over the
world. The discussion had produced
many correct and critical remarks
concerning the peasant, unemploy-
ment, colonial and Negro questions,
etc. " "
The negative side of the discus
sion, however, lay in the fact that
the speakers had limited themselves
to their own lands instead of deal
ing with international questions.
Change Estimation.
MANY comrades opposed the divi-
sion of the postwar period into
three parts in my speech" the speak
er said, "and particularly denied the
necessity of differentiation between
the gradual, partial stabilization
period of 1915 and the following
period of rapid technical progress
and reorganization together with the
strong development of world econ
omic difficulties. For capitalism to
overstep the pre-war level must
mean a change in the estimation of
capitalist stabilization. The differ
entiation of periods must find ex-,
preston in the theses because the
situation is really different.
World War Danger.
"The chief factor in the world
situation is the war danger. My re-
marks concerning the war danger
hit home, as is proved by the i'm
perialist and social-democratic fury
at these parts of my speech.
eve do not say that war must
come within a few months" he con-
tinued, "but that the whole world
situation proves that war must
come. The imperialist and the social
democrats are trying to hide this
fact, we must proclaim it.
"Any attempt to balance internal
contradictions of the capitalist
states with their external contradic-
tions means an underestimation of
the war danger which would be op-
portunist.
Most revolutions are connected
with wars, but it would be stupid
for Communists to base their revo-
lutionary perspective on war alone.
The revolutionary situation may
come from internal contradictions,
but must come from war.
Industrial peace, the growth of
the social democracy with the bour-
geois state, etc. are inexplicable ex-

W0MEN'S CLUB
PRESIDENCY IS
BATTLECENTER
Retirement Of Valley City
Woman to Be Cue for
Chair Fight

Glendale, N. D., July 27.-(Ap)-
A lively fight for the presidency Of
the North Dakota Federation of
Women's clubs is forecast when the
sixth district Of the organization will
be host to the 32nd convention here
September 25 to %.
Mrs. John Emerson Fcathcrstonc,
Valley City, has served the two
terms permissible under the bylaws
Of the organization and will not bc
eligible for reelection.
The two candidates endorsed for
the presidency arc Mrs. E. o. Dick.
inson, Minot, and Mrs. A. E. Jones,
Lisbon, former vice president Of the
state organization.
Club women throughout the state
who are forecasting a bitter fight
Tor the highest office in this state
base their prediction on the fact that
the fourth district, which Mrs. Jones
represents, has already been repre-
scented by four state presidents, and
many of the members are insistent
that the office be taken by a mem
Der from another section of the
state.
Only once in the 81 years of the
organizations existence has the ter
rltory in the western part of the
state been repre- scented in the
presidents office, Mrs. Dickinson's
hackers maintain. This was during
the period when Mrs. L. N. Carrie.
Mandan, served in that capacity.
On the other hand, Mrs. Jones. as
a former vice president and leader
IN various promotions of the club
women's work, has proven herself
worthy Of the office and q desirable
head of the organization.
Mrs. Dickinson, a former prcsi-
dent of the third district for four
years, is a desirable president due
to her varied experience as a club
leader, a business woman and a
home maker, her friends maintain.
Mrs. Dickinson received the plaudits
Of many state officials for her bril-
liant work in the American Red
Cross during the World war. For
four years she was city auditor of
Minot.
