Reformists Congress
Attacks Communists,
Supports Kellogg Pact

BRUSSELS, Aug. 6.-The first
session of the third congress of the
Second International, which has
just opened here, was marked by a
vicouis attack on the Communist
Party by former Premier Wander
velde of Belgium who called the
Communist traitors to the work
ing class"
Hand in hand with this denounce-
-nent of the Communists for keep
ing class lines distinct the congress
listened TO excited praise of the
League of Nations by Arthur Hen
derson, who was a member of Ram
sey MacDonalds' cabinet, and who
urged support of the League of Ma
lions as "a beacon which never thus
ia rhas been extinguished."
The English laborite also called
upon the congress and the League
OF Nations to support Kellogg's
anti-war pact.

/. LAW WILL BAN
WORKERS PRESS
Grants Immunity to
Gov. Editors Only

BUENOS AIRES, Aug. ga
move for new legislation against the
working class press was instituted
in the chamber of deputies here to-
day when press bill was introduced
which granted immunity from ar
rest for all editors who swore ale
glance to Argentina.
The bill will grant immunity from
arrest to all those editors who will
indicate their support of the pres
ent administration by an oath Of
allegiance. All editors who refuse
to take this oath will be liable to
arrest
If the bill passes the chambers, it
is generally believed that it will be
used as legal excuse to suppress
all trade union, working class and
revolutionary publications.

SERB-CROATIAN
DIVISION GROWS
IN new KILLING
Croatians Oppose Net
tuno Pact

ZAGREB, Jugoslavia, Aug. e.
The national division between Serbs
and Croatians was sharpened today
when the editor of the Belgrade
newspaper Jedinstvo was shot and
killed by Croatian railway worker
as revenge for the shooting of Paul
and Stefan Raditch in the Belgrade
parliament on June 20.
The Jedinstvo is held responsible
by leaders of the Croatian Peasant
Party for spreading hatred against
the Croatians and directly inspiring
the assassination of Paul Raditch.
A few days before the shooting in
the Belgrade parliament the Jed
instvo urged that "Raditch and Pri-
hitchevitch should be murdered for
Jugoslavia's good" After the
shooting the paper wrote, "Yet
more Croatian blood must flow" In
spite of the protests of the Croatiar
party leaders the Belgrade govern
ment did nothing to suppress the
paper.
In the meantime the two separate
parliaments continue to hold theil
sessions, one in Belgrade, which
claims to be the Jugoslav Legislative,
body, the other in Zagreb, which il
composed of the Croatian-Demo
cratic autonomists.

panies' proposals are:
"The immediate withdrawal of
the whole of the war bonus, the
cancellation of payment for night
work, Sunday duty and overtime ;
temporary suspension Of the guar
anteed cay and week in return for
guaranteed week, which would
embrace all time, whether overtime,
Sunday duty or night work"
Today these proposals are receiv-
ing attention at the hands of the
union officials. Such outrageous
conditions would never have been
suggested but for the absence OF
all militancy on the part of union
officials and their proffered assist
ance to the companies to help them
to stabilize their position. Before
this can reach you I expect some
vigorous action to be taken by the
militants, which you will learn of
by cable.

WHAT PRICE CHAMPIONS!

Fifty millions of workers would recognize the
photograph at the left.
Possibly two hundred thousand would know the
other person.
In this striking incident is revealed the backward
ness, the weakness-yes, the disgrace of the working
class.

aire gnoramus, in spite of his toued interest in the
arts fighter for his petty ends-retires to spend
his quickly learned" fortune-how?
Ben Gold leader of the heroic fur workers. much
jailed slugged poor so that at times he cannot pay his
room rent-wil retire from the fight which, in
the immediate sense, is not his battle at ALL but
that of others.
And only yesterday the combined forces of reaction
and betrayal-the labor takers, the boss battalions
the police squads, forced to acknowledge defeat
in a struggle of two years standing
The battles of Gene Tunney have no significance for
the positive developments in society except to retard
them.
The fight which Ben Gold is leading is the very
fabric of those developments.
Ben Gold by himself has little significance, he
weighs just bit than half as much as Tunney;
he is only twothrds tall he has more than
third the strength of the champion of the padded ring.
But Ben Colds work will stand long after Tunney's
very name will have been forgotten
1T ISN'T ENOUGH TO BE A CHAMPION.

E. B. Eastwood is Secretary of the

Oehler is organizer for the Workers
(Communist) Party that has its
presidential electors for Foster and
Gitlow on the Kansas ballot as In
dependent. Matthew Cushing is a
member of the Young Workers
(Communist) League. N. S. Yocum
and Sam Kassis are members of the
Party and the other three are Pack
ing House Workers, and Armour
Company fears organization, so no
Packing House Worker can listen to
these speakers.
Why this persecution of workers
whose only crime is speaking to
workers? Why should law like
this be allowed to exist, law that
is used to railroad workers to the
penitentiary for from two to ten
years? Why should law be allowed
to exist that allows the big exploiters
of labor to jail those who are organi-
zing workers? Workers and working
farmers of Kansas, you must rally
behind the International Labor De-
tense and fight back the attack of
the bosses and repeal the Criminal
Syndicalist law.
Today it is the Meat Trust that is
framing up workers. Rockefeller's
,, flunkies in Colorado came to the as
sistance of Armour and Company in
Kansas City when R. R. Maiden, for
mer state policeman in the Colorado
coal strike, came to Kansas City to
testify against Oehler for his ac-
tivity in the Colorado strike. To
morrow it will be the mine owners
who will railroad miners because
they refuse to take the thirty-three
and one-third per cent reduction Of
wages, and a day after it will BIZ
other workers who are trying to or
ganize for better living conditions
If the workers and working farmers
allow the railroading Of these eigh
workers the capitalists in ever!
state will enact similar laws. Th'
attack against these eight workers
is an attack against the whole work
ing class. This will be a prelude t.
further attacks on unions If the re

CONVENTIONAL STUFF
"These Few Ashes at Booth Theatre, Is
Typical Broadway Comedy

IN "These Few Ashes" now at the
Booth, Broadway gets back into its
strike. A Broadway show is depend
ent for its financial success on pleas |
ing a certain stratum of American
social life-a group of theatre-go-
ers, as distinct from those who at
tend Russian movies at the Cameo
on the one hand, as from those who
go to night clubs for their "art"
and view it "as in glass darkly."
The crowd that pays a ticket
scalper $3.50 plus fifty per cent is
a Menkenized, petty bourgeois and
upper professional group. And what
these want is lots about sex. 1t is
characteristic of them that they go
to a theatre to look for it.
Well, "These Few Ashes" has the
conventional hero of these days. To
win this kind of an audience, the
hero has to either preserve a for
tune he inherited, or make fortune
by some other means than working
for it. Kenneth Vail, played by Hugh
Sinclair, very neat, Oxfordish and
debonair, does both, and goes over
big.
The dialog is snappy, licentious,
clever, as BELTS literate audience.
| The plot is happy one. The hero,
while in temporary financial diff
culties has his japanese servant,
Oki Goo Chong boy is good
actor tell the world that he has
died and been cremated.
In a prologue you see Wallis last
four inamortas glazing at each
other around table on which sits
as they suppose, Mr.. Vail in the
form of handful of ashes in jug
bought from curio store.
Each one of them tells, in one act
apiece, with Oki to supply the inter
|. probation, the story of her relations
with Vail, as substantiation of hel
claim to the ashes. Lena Stengel, 3
|. glorious vamp, as Olga Bukarov, 6
damsel who has exchanged her posi-
ton in the Russian nobility to BE-
queen of the underworld in ST. Nor
) itz, tells of being literally frozen ou
, by Vail, who left her waiting fol
him in the Alpine SHOWS, when sh'
tried to take him for $4,000 francs
Swiss. She wants the ashes t.
sprinkle on the glacier he made he,
climb, so next time she won't breal
) her neck there.
