WORKERS SMASH
CANNON MEETING
Police Fail to Protect
Trotskyists

Hundreds of militant workers
smashed an attempted meeting of
the Cannon-Trotsky renegades at
Labor Temple last night in spite of
the protection of heavily armed
guard of hired gangsters and the
industrial squads. The meeting was
under the protection of at least 20
plain clothes men, 80 uniformed po-
lice, and or S patrol wagons.
The trouble started when the
Trotskyites barred admission to an
unemployed worker and struck him
in the face. This aroused the anger
Of the workers at the door who
braved the black jacks and police
clubs of the Trotskyites and de-
manded admission.
Abern Heckled.
As soon as the renegade Abern
opened the meeting he was heckled
from every side by the indignant
workers in the audience. This con-
tinred fer a long time with Abern
unable 70 make himself heard. From
time to time the workers present
sang the International, with Cannon
seated in the chair. Cheers for the
Soviet Union and the Communis,
Party and the Third Internationa
re,lt the air.
the resistance of the workers te
the Trotskyist propaganda became
SC fanspeS.rtble fof the renegades that
Cannon after & conference with his
lieutenants phoned for the police
WHO arrived with a number of pa.
troll wagons. But this formidable
array of force could not break down
the resistance of the workers in the
audience to the message of the Can
nonites, who were attempting to
SANDER the Soviet Union. With q
loud cheer they rose singing the In
ternalional and left the hall in a
body, and Abern was compelled to
declare the meeting off.
Among those injured by the hired
gangsters of the Trotskyites were
two Negro workers, and a young
girl worker who had just come from
the needle trades picket line.

Indictment for criminal libel secured
by Hillquit from the capitalist
courts.-The Editor.
Is Morris Hillquit swindler?
That Hillquit doesn't dislike mon
ey is well known. 1t is known that
he used to take thousands of dol
lars in fees from the Cloakmakers
Union and that for merely represent
ing the union before the governors
commission he charged the Joint
Board, Cloak and Dressmakers
Union $4,000.
1t is also well known that Hill
quit speculates on Wall Street and
that he is a shareholder in the open
shop Burns Coal Company. AS a
result of these various businesses
Hillquit has acquired considerable
wealth, enabling the leader of the
American socialist party and mem
ber of the executive of the Second
International to live in fine apart
ment on Riverside Drive, where he
leads the life of bourgeois.
All these are well known facts.
But swindler?

Hillquit with swindle and in these

The overwhelming success of the
strike in the dressmaking trade, of
which the hemstitching, pleating

gave added impetus to the strike and

HOOVER PEDDLES
CABINET POSTS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-It is
strongly rumored here that. at least
for time, Hoover will allow Will
liam j. Mitchell, democrat, to act
as attorney general. Mitchell is at
present solicitor general for the de-
partment of justice, and giving him
some time in office as head of the
department it is considered will be
a graceful recognition of the CAPT
talist Importance of Raskob and the
General Motors management of the
democratic party.
WASHINGTON, Feb. o6.--With
President Hoover reported
peddling about the portfolios of at
torney general and secretary of Wa.
20 various persons, politicians Cos
sip here settles on Senator Borah
or William J. Donovan for one or
the other. The story leaking out
from the guarded portals OF the
nilitarist Quaker is that he offered
the job of attorney general to Bo-
rah, as a reward for the latter's
good cooperation on the impcrialist
Kellogg racts.
No Bargain?
II is thought that Borah and
Hoover did not come to terms on the
offer, and that Donovan, who is
said to prefer this to the other open
ing, may get it yet. However, if
Borah does not take the job made
famous by Palmer and Daugherty,
Donovan may be made secretary of
war. He is just now engaged as a
member of the Rio Grande and
Boulder Dam commissions in pre-
venting Mexico from using much
water from those rivers, and this
preliminary practice in hostilities
may be good enough clue to the
identity of at least one of the vic
tins Of the next secretary Of war.
