Start Gush-C Campaign to
Free Mrs. Knapp

ALBANY, N. Y, May %. - Mob
ilization of sentiment for Mrs. Flor
ence E. S. Knapp, former secretary of
state, who on Saturday night was
found guilty of stealing census funds,
has been begun with the announce
ment that Mrs. Knapp is confined to
her hotel in state of nervous col
lapse.
AS the first step in the move to
keep the wealthy woman who stole
thousands of dollars from being
placed behind the bars, Supreme Court
Justice Callaghan postponed sentence
until Sept. 4. Friends of Mrs. Knapp
confidently predicted today that she
would never serve Jail term. They
feel certain that if Justice Callaghan
fails to release the aristocratic felon,
Gov. Smith can be relied on to pardon
her.

SOVIET FILM To
OPEN WEDNESDAY
Threat to Sue Compels
Grant of Permit

Fear that the legal action threat
ened by Arthur Hammerstein would
expose in open court the politics in
censorship, the New York State Board
of Film Censors has finally granted
permit for the opening of "The
End of st. Petersburg" Soviet film,
after compelling the Hammerstein
Theater, Broadway and 53rd St., to
delay the premiere till tomorrow even
ing. The opening showing was to have
taken place last night.
After reviewing the film, which
tells story of the November revolu-
ton of 1917 in Soviet Russia, the
State Board of Censors told Hammer
stein that no permit would be forth
coming till sanction was obtained
from the State Department in Wash
ington Immediate inquiries made by
the impresario in Washington, elici-
ted the information that the matter
was entirely up to the local censor.
Hamnierstein's threat to sue for the
release of the film, which has been
hailed by foreign critics as a master
piece, finally resulted in permit
granted yesterday, according to in
formation obtained from the Ham
merstein offices. 1t is generally con-
ceded that the authorities realized the
embarrassing predicament they would
have been in If they Lad attempted
to explain tie reasons for refusing
permit in a public court.

Fascist Delegation of Kossuh Pilgrims Is Further EXPOSED

NOT many weeks ago a large dele
Az cation of Hungarian fascists
appointed by Horthy, the white
terrorist regent of Hungary, toured
the United States in the guise of
"Kossuth pilgrims"
Their purpose was to use the un-
yelling here of a monument to Louis
Kossuth, Hungarian patriot, as a
pretext for spreading propaganda
for huge loan from Wall Street
to Hungary to bolster the totter-
ing fascist regime of Horthy, which
has tortured, killed, exiled and i'm

farmers.
The Workers (Communist) Party,
the international Labor Defense,
the Anti-Horthy League and other
working class organizations of this
country exposed the purposes of the
fascist delegation in New York,
Washington, Pittsburgh, Cleveland
and other cities visited by the dele
cation. The heads of the delega-
ton denied that they were here for
any other reason than to honor Kos
suth, although they called either
formally or informally not only on
bankers but on President Coolidge
and the mayors of cities, whose ia
vor is always sought in floating a

Cab0ne, Gang
Leader, Has a
Partner NOW

CHICAGO, May 2S.-The ushering
in of new era in strikebreak-
ing and intimidation of workers is
seen in the announcement that AL
phonse Capone, gang boss and poll
tician known as "Scarface AL" has
become partner in the Sanitary
Cleaning Shops, Inc, owned by
Morris Becker.
Of course, the aim of the new
partnership is entirely altruistic. In
fact, it will be Capone's job to act
as protecting shepherd to the
workers Of the Sanitary Cleaning
Shops, according to Becker, who
protests that the sole purpose of
this new alliance is to protect his
place of business and his employees
from the gunner hired by unscru-
pulous competitors. The cleaning
and dyeing business, it seems, has
been split up by an internal war,
with gunner playing the leading
roles in the fray.
Workers in the cleaning and dye
ing trade are, however, said to be
skeptical of the purity of this holy
alliance and look upon a gangster
on the premises as a step towards
greater efficiency in mobilizing
scabs and smuggling workers in case
of strikes.

v cause a jury flipped coin to
decide a $4,000 damage suit is no

ruled yesterday in unfolding the
award of that sum to Mrs. Mary

The verdict was protested on the
ground that it was determined by

FALL RIVER, Mass, May 2S.--
Alarmed at the rapid progress being
made by the Textile Mills Committee
in arousing strike sentiment among
the tens of thousands of workers in
Fall River, who were prevented from
going on strike by the union officials
despite 10 per cent wage cut, the
mill-owned city authorities are trying
to prevent the T. M C. from holding
another mass meeting here.
An announcement to this effect
was made yesterday by the chief of
police following the arrest Saturday
of the leaders of the New Bedford
Mills Committee. The first mass
meeting of textile workers held here
last week, which had as the main
speaker Albert Weisbord, the Passaic
strike leader, has already resulted in
the enrolment of hundreds of work.
ers here into membership in the Tex
tile Mills Committee, with large num-
bers increasing the enrolment daily.
Despite the fact that the chief of
police has notified the hall owners
here not to rent any meeting places
to the National Textile Mills Com
mittee, Peter Hegalias, speaking for
the Fall River organization, declared
that meeting will be held regardless
of whether they have hall or not.
Not only are the mill barons fearful
of the speedily developing strike SEN
timent, but the officialdom of the
American Federation of Textile OPP
eratives, at the head of which is a
tabor leader" who is also one of the
city's police commissioners, are US
ing all the resources at their COM
mand to stem the tide of feeling for
strike action.
Even among the Textile Council
membership an increasingly strong
movement is afoot to take another
strike vote, over the heads of the adj
ministration if necessary. The coun-
Gil officials, at the first vote, taken
when the wage cut was put into effect
several months ago, announced that
the strike vote was lost by several
ballots short of two-thirds majority.
At that time the union membership
openly charged faxed vote counting.
The announcement of Peter Hegel-
las for the 7. M. c., also states that
the second Fall River meeting will be
held next week.

GEORGE NEWCOMB
SEES SPREAD OF
RED INFLUENCE
Other Delegates Give
Views

George Newcomb, candidate for
governor of Delaware on the Com
munist ticket and delegate to the
nominating convention of the Work
srs' Party just closed, yesterday ex-
pressed his confidence on the pros,
poets of the Party in his state. New
comb is a veteran of the class
struggle not only of the United
States, but also of England and of
Europe. A score of years ago, it
was learned, Newcomb was an organ
izer in the British labor movement
under Tom Mann.
Predicts Great Fight.
Many forces are being unified to
make the great American working
class; Newcomb declared, "this will
be one of the important campaigns
in labor history. Our Party will make
a record in Delaware"
The slogan which perhaps made
the greatest impression on the con-
vention and which is destined to be-
come a classic in the future of the
Party is the one issued by James
Reed, delegate from Rhode Island.
Our purpose is not to Americanize
Communism; our task is to Com
munize the American working class"
Harry ]. Lawrence, veteran fighter
from Houston, Texas, created con-
siderable interest by his parable Of
the Boll-weevil and the Banker: 1.-THE
boll-weevil bites the cotton crop when
it's young; the banker takes in the
cotton crop when it's grown; which is
the greater insect?" he asked.
Knew Lenin.
Martin Henderson, one of the oldest
veterans of the class struggle in
American and Europe who knew and
worked with Lenin, summed up in a
word the central lesson of his expert
ence: "Once a revolutionist, always
a revolutionist! Those who have de-
serted the struggle, those who sold
out" he declared, "were never really
revolutionists in their heart; that is
what my fifty years of experience
in the class struggle have taught me-"
William J. White, member of the
Central Executive Committee and a
delegate from Pittsburgh, told of the
conditions in the steel mills, the great
tasks ahead for the Party and called
for energy and determination to car
ry on the political campaign.

PITTSBURGH, May %. - More
than two hundred delegates are as
sembled here for the special conven-
ton of District of the United Mine
Workers of America called by the
Emergency Committee of 100 repre-
senting as many local unions to take
action on the crisis in the union and
the treacherous conduct of the Lewis
Pagan machine.
The larger percentage of the Gre
dentials to the convention are formal
ly signed by local officers and sealed.
The remainder, bearing the signatures
of presidents and secretaries, were
accompanied by the explanation that
their seals had been confiscated when
they refused to sign pledges of al
legiance to the present policies of the
John L. Lewis administration,
Rank and File Acts.
When requests for approximately
100 local unions for special district
convention failed to evoke any re-
Spouse from the district union office,
the locals took matters into their own
hands and issued a call for the spe-
cial convention signed by miners from
100 different locals. The district con-
vention provides that special conven-
tons shall be called when fifty locals
apply.
According to the Emergency Com
mittee, all district offices will be de-
clared vacant and a new set of Off
GERS, in agreement with progressive
policies, will be elected to replace
them.
Warning that locals participating
in the convention will be expelled
which were issued from Patrick Fa-
gan's office, have failed to stem the
flow of credentials coming to the COM
mittee's headquarters, Carboni said.
Coal diggers who recently joined
the strike and organized themselves
into the Westmoreland County Min
ers' Union, will send fraternal dele
gates from each local.
