Irish Meeting Supports
Republican Paper Fund;
Religious Note Cited

De Valera sympathizers to the num-
Der of about 800 who gathered Sun
day night in New York city to formu-
late plans for raising 100000, this
city's quota of the 100000 to be
raised for the establishment of a
Republican newspaper in Ireland.
Friends of the Republican cause
whose presence was requested and
who failed to put in an appearance
at the meeting are, it is said, nettled
by the means taken by De Valera in
bringing the question of his manner
of taking the oath of fealty to the
British crown before the Irish people.
Majority Predicted.
They feel that De Valera owed his
explanation to the Irish people in Ire
land at the time he placed his sigma
ture on the parliamentary roll-that
in making his explanation to a Jesuit
in New York for publication in a
Catholic weekly newspaper he was
failing in his duty to his people, and
placing religion first in his political
alliances.
Funds Unquestioned.
The meeting, which was presided
over by Thomas Rock, chairman of
the New York State executive COM
mittee of the American Association
for the Recognition of the Irish Re-
public, did not discuss lack of har-

And out of this militant conviction
and in the midst of their dire need in
che bitter winter, they have never
failed to respond eagerly to the APP
peals their press has peen forced to
make to them. The pennies of the
starving miners and of all other

American bosses have directed
against The DAILY WORKER.
Workers Save Press.
The question of the life or death Of
the paper has been up to the workers
to decide and they have made their
militant decision. From mines and
factories, ships and farms, from one
coast of the United States to the
other, the American working class
has said, "Hands off" to the CAPT
talist attempt against the life of the
workers press.
The attempt has been checked. But
new forces of reaction are being pre-
pared to crush the life out of The
DAILY WORKER. The arrest of it's
editors, Dunno, Miller and Bittelman
was the first blow. The murder and
failing of the progressives in the
Pennsylvania coal fields was the next
tho not the last.
The starving Pennsylvania miners
have raised a hand to intercept that
blow. There must be 10000 other
hands to join with theirs. Every
militant worker in this country must
send every possible cent to the de-
tense of the paper. Rush your con-
tribution to The DAILY WORKER,

Louis F. Budenz, editor of the "La-

local situation for the American Fed
Grafton of Full Fashioned Hosiery
Workers, is being severely criticized
by the workers here for his state
ments to the strikers and to the press.
He had declared that he had given
orders to the strikers to respect" the
order of the court, pending long
drawn out legal battle concerning the
injunction issue.
The strikers, who insist on conduct
ing picket demonstrations, point to
the fact that Budenz had previously
publicly stated and written articles in
which he acknowledges that the only
way to fight the vicious injunction
evil is by open violation of it's orders.

MIDWAY, Pa, March 12.-When
Anthony P. Minerich, progressive
strike leader of the "Save the Union
Committee" mentioned the Labor
Party in a speech before a meeting
of the Midway local of the United
Mine Workers of America, Sergeant
Jones and fourteen other state troop
ers broke up the meeting. Minerich
had talked about the internal union
situation for about half an hour, but
as soon as he mentioned the Laho,
Party issue, an officer declared, "He
was trying to fool me, but | knew
what he was leading up to!" and the
speaker was ordered from the plat
form and the hall cleared.
Adam Getto, striking miner OF
Bentleyville, Pa, and congressional
candidate from Washington county on
the Labor Party ticket, Rebecca
Grecht, Labor Party organizer, who
was similarly barred in Burgettstown
last Monday, and Charles Fulp, Ne
gro miner, were not permitted to
speak at all.

Sergeant Jones attempted to keer
the meeting from opening, but when
the Rev. S. A. Hite, recording secre-

Of the meeting, pointed out that the

TO speak at their meeting and insisted
that no permit was required. The po-

on condition that the Labor Party or

thusiasm of the highest degree ac-
companied resolution by the local
miners calling upon all miners of Illi-
nois to come out on strike April /.
The meeting called by the enlarged
Save-the- Union Committee urged the
miners to fight against the wage cuts
now being permitted by the Lewis
machine; for a national settlement
and for renewed efforts to save the
union. Thunderous applause greeted
the unanimous adoption of the reso-
luton.
Six delegates came from Indiana
coal fields. They assured the Save
the Union Committee that a strong
movement had been organized there
which will join with the Illinois min
ers in a finish fight.

was attacked by these officials while
the police prevented any assistance
from his friends.
Sub-district President Fox, Lew

to address the meeting of miners. The
workers as one man thereupon arose
and walked out from the hall, leav-
ing Fox speaking to empty chairs.
The Save the Union Committee
adjourned the meeting and made ar
engagements to resume the conference
at the City Public Park. Every mine
worker went to the second meeting
place.
TOOhey Speaks.
Pat Toohey, one of the members of
the Save-the- Union Committee who,
together with John Brophy, well
known mine leader, was recently
beaten up by the police at Renton, Pa.
spoke at the new meeting place.
Toohey laid special emphasis on the
need of mass attendance at the
Pittsburgh national Save-the- Union
Conference on April /.
A telegram was received from
Alexander Howat, militant Kansas
miner who wired: "Sorry l am I'M
able to be with you at your confer
ence. l am fully with you in your
fight for a clean union and wish your
conference success"
Toohey's speech was twice inter
rupted by fights staged by the repre-
sentatives of the Lewis-F ishwick ma
chine. Finally these officials again
called in their police accomplices and
for second time under a display of
guns, together with threats to kill the
leaders of the meeting, broke the con-
ference.
The meeting, however, accomplished
it's purpose in creating widespread
interest in the coming Pittsburgh
conference and crystallizing the SEN
timent against the Lewis machine.

The Mexican rulers were beginning to
realize that sooner or later they must
have outside financial help to keep the
Mexican ship of state afleat, That help
must come from the United States.
They we're therefore predisposed to
listen to Morrow, the financial genius,
when they might have turned deaf
ear to another envoy.
But this advantage was incidental.
The President had picked Morrow be-
cause of his long acquaintance with
him and his complete confidence in his
ability, not because of his connection
with great banking house. He knew
the man and trusted him to find way
out of a baff1ing situation. Thus far
he has had not the slightest reason to

Morrow has already captured the imagi-

Secrets Of Success.
I think Morrow's hold on men is due
to two things. First. his remarkable
intellect. He has the ability to see
through the most difficult and compll-
Gated problems in manner which leads
him almost instinctively to their solu-
ton This remarkable gift OF penetra-
ton he has by no means connned 10
economics and finance. 1t has carried
him into many other fields OF human
knowledge and particularly into history,
of which he is passionately fond. There
he has found abundant light on the
motives which prompt the actions OF
men. Thus equipped he enters upon
the study of new problem with vigor
and persistence which soon leaves his
collaborators and assistants gasping for
breath.
Morrow's position with the Morgan
firm and his general standing in the
community are ample evidence that
others beside President Coolidge hold
him in high regard. Another incident
NAV serve to emphasize this. The d.
vision of an estate involving many mil
lions of dollars had thrown the heirs
into a many cornered fight. which at
one time threatened to run into a life
time of litigation. With unusual good
sense, the heirs agreed to leave the en-
tire matter to an arbitrator and to &C

TT is seldom that newly appointed
American Ambassador has faced a
more formidable task than that
which was before Dwight Morrow
when he left the quiet precincts of
Wall Street for the troubled atmos-
phere of Mexico City in october Of last
year
Mexico had been through 10 years of
revolution during which American
troops had twice entered Mexican ter
ritorv. During the following seven
years the Obregon- Gales regime had
attempted to give effect to announced
principles of the revolution with results
which had brought 1t into sharp con-
fiict with the United States. Relations
between the two countries we're any
thing but pleasant. and Mr.. Morrows
predecessor had left the country after
troubled period of opposition to
Mexican plans, during which negotia-
tons over pending issues had come to
an impasSe.
They we're thorny problems-those
which Dwight Morrow went to Mexico
to tackle. American oil operators con-
tended that the Mexican Government
was attempting to confiscate their
properties. American land owners de-
clared that their lands were being
seized without compensation. Thou
sands OF American claims against
Mexico we're hopelessly entangled in
official red tape. The Mexican rulers,
while apparently able to maintain
themselves In office, were in discourage
ing financial straits. In fact, the years
of civil war and the effort tn install
a new social regime had so disrupted
the economic life of the country that
a serious breakdown threatened.
