He WOULD

latter
ANEW

Merger legislation will be
The principal subject for dis
cussion tomorrow when the
House District Committee
holds its initial meeting OF
the session.
Chairman Zihlman will leave with
the members of the committee sug-
gestions as to what local legisla-
fion, il any, the committee should
attempt to have passed during the
short session.
Representative Gilbert, of Ken
lucky, has announced he will move
to reconsider the Wilson merger
plan, which the committee fayoraby
reported last spring.
TO Study Reports
Copies of the report Of the Bu-
reau of Efficiency and Of DIR. Milo
B. MaItbie, having to do with their
investigations of the proposed mer-
ger, are expected to reach members
OF the committee today. Represen-
fative Gilbert believes the commit
tee should study these reports and
reconsider their prior action favor
able to the Wilson plan.
If the House Committee with
draws its favorable report on the
Wilson merger plan, as suggested
by Representative Gilbert. it will
force the traction interests to
abandon their fight for the plan
and begin to offer concessions, it
was believed.
Before Gilbert announced his plan
to have the House Committee re-
consider its hastily granted ap-
provaF of the Wilson agreement it
appeared likely that the merger
proponents would go ahead and
try to force their plan through as
It stands, or with minor changes.
Effect of Reversal
But a reversal of its decision by
the House District COMMITTEES
would change the situation materi-
ally. IT would show that the $50.
100000 valuation is losing, rather
than gaining ground.
AS long as they have the ap-
proyal of the House Committee be-
hind them, the merger proponents
are likely to continue their fight
for the $50.000,0O0 valuation hoping
desperately to get it through the
Senate.

In submitting the estimates for
the Treasury Department appropria-
tions this year Lord submitted an
estimate for raiasing his own sal
ary from $4,000 year to $4,000.
The item was stricken out by the
House. 1t was restored yesterday,
however, by the Senate and prob
ably will be in the bill when it is
finally enacted.
The Treasury -Postoffice bill was
reported favorably by the Senate

day. 1t probably will be voted on
in the Senate tomorrow.
No changes in the items affect
ing the District were made by the
Senate committee. The bill still

continuing the purchase of the tri-

Recognition of Marking.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The
note sent yesterday by Kellogg to
the Marking government, virtually
recognizing it as the responsible
government of China, has led to the
belief here that de jure recognition
will be Forthcoming shortly.
The note was very cordial in tone
and is looked upon as clearing the
way for a separate agreement be-
tween the United States and Nam
king which is now considered capa-
BILE of taking care of American in
terests in China.
Secretary Kellogg made it clean
today that the United States wished
to negotiate with Marking, although
he intimated that their would be nc
opposition to joint negotiations
after the United States had obtained
its terms.
Copies of the note were also trans
mitted to the embassies of Belgium
Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan
the Netherlands, Portugal, Den
mark, Norway, Sweden and SPAR
because of their general interest.

POLICE FAIL TO
BREAK RED MEET

Especial to the Daily Worker
Police failed in their attempt to
break up an open-air meeting held
last night by the. Workers (Com-
munist) Party at Second Ave. and
10th St.
At first one policeman tried to
stop the meeting. AS he could not,
and according to law he should not
have tried to stop it, more police
men were sent to the scene. Three
came.
Speakers from the platform spoke
about these actions of the police.
They showed that their actions
proved that the capitalists use the
state power to prevent the working
class from awakening from its OPP
pressed position in society. The ap-
plause from the workers at the
words of the speakers was so pro
longed and enthusiastic that in the
face of it the police were helpless
The meeting then went on until its
originally intended close.

RED BANQUET IN
NEWARK PLANNED
Will Usher In Jersey
Election Campaign

To welcome the delegates to the
New Jersey State Ratification Con-
vention, a huge Red Proletarian
Newark, N. J.
The banquet will be the largest
affair of its kind ever held in New
Jersey, and besides being an occa-
sion for festivity, will serve double
purpose. The date of the Red Ban
quet is the 18th anniversary Of the
opening of the last World War, in
which millions of workers were
slaughtered in the redistribution of
capitalist markets, and the banquet
will be turned into a tremendous
demonstration against the danger of
a new world war and against the
menace of American Imperialism.
Nearing, Weisbord to Speak.
Among the speakers at the ban
quet will be Scott Nearing, noted au-
thority on American imperialism
and Communist candidate for Gov
ernor of New Jersey and Albert
Weisbord, leader of the Passaic
strike and Communist candidate for
Senator.
All delegates to the Ratification
Convention which will be held the
next day will be present at the Red
Banquet, as well as many other
workers. All workers clubs, labor
and fraternal organizations are in
vited to send delegates to the Red
Proletarian Banquet, as well as to
the Ratification Convention.
There is no perturbation on the
part of workers who will attend the
Red Banquet for fear of the day of
the banquet turning out to be hot
and sultry, for if the weather should
be torrid, the banquet will be held
on the roof garden of the Workers
Progressive Center.
All workers organizations which
have not yet elected delegates to the
banquet are urged to do so at once.

ARMED
(By a Worker Correspondent

(By a Worker Correspondent
CALGARY, Alberta, (By Maid
The warm cloudy weather of
this summer has brought bum
per crop of straw which is hell to
stock and very hard on the backs
of the workers. You will do well
to stay away from this place and
not allow yourself to be bunked
by transportation companies, as
you will be obliged to compete
with slavish conditions imposed
upon thousands and thousands of
poor middle Europe immigrants
who have been shipped here and
starving since last August.
1t is a well known fact, and will
bear repeating, that at this time
of the year English speaking
migratory workers are in big de-
mand in Western Canada pene-
tentiaries where they gather the
harvest in radius of fifty miles
of the Jail, with insufficient food
and under the nose of an armed
guard, when a few days before
Christmas they are turned loose
to shift for themselves, and gen.
orally at 40 below zero. So be
wise and stay away.

YOUTH TO MEET
SATURDAY TO AID
TEXTILE STRIKE
To Hold Tag Day for
Miners, Mill Workers !

The Youth Conference for Miners
and Textile Relief will hold one
day Tag Day Saturday The money =
collected will be sent to the striking
textile workers and the miners. s.
eve have sent over $500 for the
relief of the striking miners" the
statement of the Youth Conference
reads, "but not yet enough for the
textile workers. We are going out
big now in the drive to help the New
Bedford strikers. We are going to :
help the rank and file workers or-a,
ganized in the Textile Mill Commit
tees, and not the takers like Batty
and his socialistic crew who are
dividing and splitting up the work
ers there. We know that the textile
workers are putting up a stiff fight;
they are struggling for militant,
unionism, against the speedup sys
TEN, aainst the wage cut-and at ],
the same time against the misleaders
and betrayers of the workers, Batty
and Manning"
The statement concludes with: =
"the Young Peoples Socialist
League, which at one time was af-
filiated with the Youth Conference,
but later on sneaked out of affilia-
ton and organized dual youth
relief body with some pacifist and
liberal clubs, has tried hard to pose
as the sole supporter of the textile
workers. The Youth Conference
has already sent in as much as any
youth relief committee-and sent in
this money to the real representa-
tives of the workers.
