WOLL REPORTS
ANTI-LABOR PLAN
Open Shop Federation
Active

Another step in the class collab-
Grafton policies Of the American
Federation Of Labor leaders was
taken with the publication yeeter-
day Of report by, the National
Civic Federation Committee on Plan
and Scope, actively sponsored by
Matthew Woll, which recently was
organized to find the basic prin-
ciples on which labor and capital
can cooperate in securing industrial
peace.
The committee, whose composition
was recently announced by Vol,
now the acting president of the
open-shop federation, has on it's
roster some of the most bitter union
haters in the country. in the pre-
liminary report made public yester-
day it was announced that steps to-
ward the repeal of antitrust legis-
lation have been taken: activities
looking to the regulation of injunc-
tons are likewise under way, it is
stated. In charge of this branch
of the open-shoppers' activities is
James w. Gerard, former U. S. Am
bassador to Germany, member of
the State Industrial Commission and
one of the most active enemies of
the workers. Gerard is at the pres
ent time staunch supporter of AL
Smith.
Another committee working on
Forms of Employees Organizations,
understood to be an attempt to work
out form of company union, like

10000 AT HUGE
CONEY CONCERT
Great Throng Applauds
Theremin

Twenty thousand worker
damned Coney Island Stadium Sat
urday night and for more than three
hours listened to one Of the great
est proletarian concerts ever held in
this country.
The concert, arranged jointly by
the Daily Worker and the Freiheit,
was characterized by high spirits
Until the very end of the evening.
In addition to the musical program,
the affair took the form of rous-
ing political demonstration, with
Ben Gitlow, acting secretary of the
Workers (Communist) Party and
candidate for vice president as the
speaker of the evening.
Lauds Soviet Rescuers.
Gitlow, who was introduced by
Alexander Trachtenberg, treasurer
OF the National Election Campaign
Committee of the Workers Com
munist) Party, riddled the political
pretensions of Herbert Hoover and
pointed out his role as faithful
servant of Wall St. When Gitlow
mentioned the achievements of the
Soviet ice-breaker Krassin and the
1-yer Chukhnovsky, the huge stadium
rocked with applause. "The heroic
rescue achieved by these citizens of
the first workers and peasants re-
public" he said, "is refutation of
the ISLANDERS of the capitalist press
concerning the Soviet Union. In
the future they will be compelled to
hesitate before they write their lies
about 'Bolshevik barbarism.'"
Gitlow received a great ovation
both before and after his speech.
The musical program proved to
be all that had been expected. Prof.
Leon Theremin, whom Trachtenberg
referred to as representative of
the new Soviet culture, astounded
the vast audience with his new
ether-music which he drew out of
the air by the movements of his
hands. Theremin played solos with
piano accompaniment and also with
accompaniment by Volpe's SYM
phony orchestra.
Undaunted by Pain.
Theremin was originally scheduled
to appear last on the platform, but
when it began to rain during the
concert by Arnold Volpe and his
orchestra, who were first on the
program, was shifted to second.
The rain proved to be only drizzle
and hardly person left the sta
dunn.
The playing of Volpe and his or
chestra was likewise received with
great favor as was the dancing of
the Roxy Ballet, under the direction
of A. nellie, former partner of Paw
Iowa. The orchestra accompanied
both Prof. Theremin and the ballet
and also played several encores
after the ballet had concluded its
program, thus giving the great
crowd more than full measure.
An appeal for funds, made by
Alexander Trachtenberg, resulted
in generous response.

Thugs" Is Call

In order to "launch the campaign
of the rank and file against the
sweat-shop system and to build a
cloakmakers union of the workers
under the leadership of National
Organization Committee" the latter
organization is calling all workers
in the ladies garment manufactur-
ing industry to a gigantic mass
meeting in Bronx Stadium, accord
ing to a statement issued recently
by the latter organization over the
signature of Louis Hyman, chair
man.
Appeals To Workers.
The statement also appeals to the
workers to fight against any at
tempt of Sigman and his cohorts to
compel them to pay dues to his COM
pany union under the guise of the
fake organization campaign they
are conducting. The statement de-
clares in part:
"The International clique is now
making new effort to extort money
from you thru their guerilla COM
mittees, under the pretext of
brand new organization campaign.
It is not campaign to get better
conditions for you in the shops. 1t
is not campaign to organize the
industry. The company union,"
which is on the verge of collapse, is
making a last effrot to extort
money from you before it is COM
pletely wiped out.
Defend Yourself.
"You must not permit yourself to
be terrorized by their guerilla COM
mittees. The gangsters Of the I'M
derworld, hired by the company
union" are insignificant as COM
pared with the will and determine
ton of your united strength. All
that you need is united action when
the committees appear in your
shops. Do not stop when the guer-
lila committees come to your shops.
Do not give them q cent. Give them
proper resistance. Defend yourself
against them and wherever possible
attack them, drive them out.
workers! The end of the clique's
domination is in sight. Now is the
time for united action to put into
effect the plans worked out for
building our union. The first

GOOD ROADS DESTROY

on the trip gave me specific exam

and business firms result

of roads in that state, and pointed
out beautiful new rural schools.

That came from the realization that

RESULTS OF BETTER HOMES
MOVEMENT

Last year, as the result of the
Better Homes movement carried on
the last week in April, committees
for carrying out these ideas were
appointed in nearly 1000 communi-
ties. Some days ago returns had
been received indicating that 44O0
such communities have been ap-
pointed, and a good many more no
doubt will be heard from. So this
movement seems likely to amount
to something very substantial.
Committees in some places have
selected designs for homes costing
from $4,000 to $4,000, and will erect
model dwellings and furnish them
as an object lesson to their people.
They will thus demonstrate that a
home can be pleasant and attractive
and artistic, without costing a lot
of money.
1t is to be hoped that the people
of Delaware will realize that this
movement is accomplishing some
very decided results, and that a rap
id improvement is being made in
the appearance and comfort of the
homes of the nation. A community |
where there is lack of interest in
such movements is likely to suffer
by comparison with those that are
more progressive.
Living in a nice home has tonic
effect on peoples morale. They. feel
more self-respect. more confidence,
hey are given incentives to work
or, and production will be more
uccessful and business more pros ]
erous in such a community.
1t is difficult to get the best re-
ults in town where a large part
f the people live in unattractive {
nd unpleasant homes. It seems to
etract from their power of achieve t
lent and create depressing influ- I
nee. In many places business in @
'rests have taken hold to provide +
.tractive homes for their work L
eople, or for the wage-earning j
)pulation, and they would gener- tt
ly testify that such use of capital

THE CONTROL OF AUTOMOBILES

1t is particularly aggravating
when people do things which are
disapproved of by the public, and
yet which the public seems unable
to control. The people claim the
right, and should have the right, to
decide how automobiles shall be op-
Grated in the public streets.
But here we see the spectacle of
a great number of people who use
those streets in a way that the pub
lie heartily disapproves of, and in
manner to create a great number
of accidents, many of them very
tragic in their effects, taking human
life, and subjecting people to heavy
expense. The community is thor
oughly angry at these results, and
yet these deplorable things keep
happening. The reckless element
tear up and down the highways of
Delaware, and elsewhere, and it is
often very difficult to tell who they
are or prove anything against them.
And yet the people have a greater
degree of control over that situa-
tion than they realize. There are
several ways to exert that control.
The first is to impose more severe
penalties for improper operation.
Such use of cars on the roads own
ed by the public is not to be re-
garded as a light or trivial offense.
1t is something of a. serious char
acter which should be treated in
4 way that people will remember.
The second way is to provide a
very considerable force of state or
traffic officers, who shall
pend their entire time operating
'ars or motorcycles up and down
he roads and city streets, and
whose duty it shall be to spot those
rivers who make the trouble. :
Then it should be the policy of
ne state to revoke or suspend the
-censes of such persons. People {
hould not be permitted to use the
ighways for this purpose, unless I
ley act in way to justify the '
ossession of this license. h
So@ q,
MANY of the people who com
lain that there is nothing doing in h
leir home town, are not themselves S
ping anything of any interest. a
