Watt'sHenchman Tries
Diplomacy" With the
DailyWOrker But Fails

The Daily Worker has received a
letter from the National Miners
Union organizer in southern Illi-
nois, who attended the recent Staun-
ton sub-district conference, and who
makes a considerable number of
corrections to the Corrections" de-
manded in a letter previously sent
the Daily by one Morgan, a member
of John Watts following.
The Morgan letter stated that the
Stanton conference voted to ask
the Daily to make some "correc-
tions" in articles printed on the min
ing situation. The Morgan letter
said the Staunton conference wanted
the Daily to repudiate statements
that Watt was building a machine
at Staunton, that he was not sent
there by the N. M. IT,, that he was
leading union splitting campaign,
that he was violating the policies of
the N. NJ. u, etc.
The N. NJ, U, organizers letter
states that the Staunton conference
voted on one correction only, name
ly, that the Daily had said that the
Livingston local barred Watt from
coming into one of its meetings.
The fact was, according to the N.
NJ. U. organizer, that the Living
ston local adopted the Belleville con-
vention resolutions, the spirit of
which would have kept Watt out of
it's meetings, but it was not true
that Watt actually appeared, and
was kept out. The Staunton sub
district conference voted that Nor
gan might send a correction on this
point to the Daily Worker. The
Daily had already discovered this
misstatement of fact and published
voluntarily a correction in the is
sue of Nov. 16. The conference did
not discuss any correction" of the
other statements in the Daily
Worker about Watt, because they
were all absolutely true. Morgan,
writing apparently in the interests
of the discredited national president
of the N. M. u, Watt, tried to take
advantage of this vote to wheedle
the Daily into a general reputation
of the attack against Watt, and tried
without success.

caucasian Love" First Film
OF Georgian National Lite

The Film Guild Cinema will pre-
sent the first Soviet film dealing
with the colorful life of the Cauca-
sian people on Saturday. The film
is titled Caucasian Love-" and
originally was called "Elisso.'
The cinematograph industry in
Georgia dates back to 1922, with the
formation of a Georgian Cinemato-
graph Section to the Peoples Com
missariat for Education IN the U. S.
S, r.
The first steps of the Georgian
cinematograph industry were slow
and hesitating, It's artists, while
still laboring under the heavy bur-
den of national cultural traditions,
fell under the spell of the new art
in all its modernity. AS a result,
the first films produced were mix
ture Of new and old technique in the
American and Caucasian styles, and
open to the reproach of crudity. The
critics at that time were continual
ly attacking the new Georgian cine
matograph fer its absurd use of
human and other material, its IN
effective attempts to make Euro
pean Tor rather Americana meth
DDS to suit European themes, The
endeavors to express class contra
dictions and national drama in the
idiom of Hollywood was, of course,
doomed to failure.
The young industry began grad
ually to realize its mistake and to
take the right path-abandoning
the banalities of kino-romance and
turning towards the rich material
offered by the national traditions
and picturesque customs OF the
country. Ethnography and geog-
raphy are pressed into the service
of the film. We see before our eyes
on the screen the slow transition to
the new economy, the development
of agriculture and the parallel de-
velopment of the people involved
in it.
Caucasian Love" describes the
tragedy OF the Christian (Russian)
victory over the Mohammedans
(Cheahenzi), the tragedy of the
small nation Swallowed up" by inn
perialism, of the peasant masses
fighting czarism. This picture was
hailed as a victory for national cine
photography, as well as a veritable
document of high artistic value.

Detroit JObLESS
ARE MODELLING
FOR STRUGGLE.
Hold Second Big Meet,
Led by Communists

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 26.-The
rapidly rising militaney of the I'M
employed workers in Detroit and
vicinity, most of whom are auto
workers, was again displayed at a
second unemployed mass meeting,
called here yesterday by the Com
munist Party, the Young Commu-
mist League, and the Trade Union
Unity League. The meeting was
held in the afternoon at Communist
Party headquarters, 1867 Grand
River Ave, West, near Cass.
Demonstrating that they were not
fooled by the tricks of Henry Ford
in announcing "wage increase" in
order to disguise increased ration
alization, young and adult workers,
women as well as men and Negro
as we'll as white workers made this
second meeting even more success
full than the one held by the Com
munist Party last Friday, Nov. %.
The rapidly growing influence of
the Communist Party among the un-
employed workers has scared the
bosses, the employment sharks and
the police.
They have resorted to terroriza-
ton to stifle the unemployed work
ers' militancy. Leo Thompson, dis
trict organizer of the Y. C, L. was
arrested by the police on the advice
of the employment sharks and the
state ''free" employment bureau.
Another attempt to combat the
influence of the Communist Party
among the unemployed, was the cir
culation of slanderous statements
among the workers. stating that the
Communists are operating private
employment office of their own, and
that they thus want to fleece the
workers, b
At the mass meeting yesterday,
Philip A. Raymond, secretary of the
Auto Workers Union; Al Goetz, pres
ident, and Leo Thompson spoke OF
plans to mobilize the unemployed
workers for a real fight for work
or state maintenance at union rates
Louis Morrison, of the Trade
Union Unity League, stressed the
necessity of mobilizing the unem-
ployed women and girls. Charles
Marion, leader of the T.U.U.L. in
Toronto, told of the organization
of unemployed councils in Canada,
and brought workingclass interna-
tional greetings from the unem-
ployed workers of Canada. The key
note Of the meeting was Work OF
Rel"
Another big unemployed workers
meeting will be held Wednesday
Nov. 27, at the same address.

Make Orleans
WRIT Permanent
Car Union Misleaders
Fail to Fight 1t

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov, 2 -
The temporary injunction granted
bondholders of the New Orleans
Public Service Corp. against the
striking street car workers has been
made permanent under a default de-
cree entered by Federal Judge
Borah.
The officials of Local 1914 of the
Street Carmens Union failed to APP
pear to contest the injunction in
court, thus marking a further step
in their betrayal of the strike of
the New Orleans street carmen,
whose militancy rose to great
heights in their strike, lasting over
five months.
While the Local 1914 misleaders,
and President Mahon of the Street
Carmens' Union were urging arbit-
ration, and finally submitted to
company unionizing the local under
Mitten management, the strikers
were battling police and thugs in
the streets.

NAVAL. PARITY
STALLS C0NFAB
BEFORE START
Italy and France Can
Find No Solution

PARIS, Nov. 26.-The so-called
'five-power naval conference" seems
to have we'll broken down before it
begins, as a result of disagreements
in preliminary discussions between
France and Italy. Italy insists on
naval parity" with France, and in
Sists that such be agreed to before
considering questions about "reduc-
tions" Of Submarines and cruisers.
France, in the words of its minis
ter of marine, George Leagues, Twill
not accept parity with Italy. and
second, she will not change her at
titude toward submarines" Frances
determination on this point mirrors
its purpose to hold close grip on
colonial peoples. as Frances answer
to Italy is said to be based on the
League of Nations Covenant which
says that Sin reduction of arma-
ments the geographical situation
and special conditions of each coun-
try must be considered" France cit
ing this in a statement that ii needs
q larger navy than Italy to PRO
tect" its colonies.
What Italy may reply no one does
know, hut it undoubtedly would like
to get half of Frances colonies and
thus sanctify its claim for parity"
with the same league clause that
was written to insure imperialist
powers exploitation and oppression,
but not protection" of their colo

Legge Wall st. Tool
Continued from Page Onej

fC0nttnned from Rage Onel
warned that only economic parity"
between industry and agriculture
would "halt the increasing wave of
radicalism" among the farmer
THE public can rest assured" he
said, that the American farmer viii
never be le-eced to peagantry, but
unless he gets help, and gets it
quickly, drastic results may be ex-
pected," and further, g. Mass
production on the huge farm is re-
pugnant to the men who wants his
own homes cad, We are trying to
leave him a producer on a small
scale. Six million cotton grow
ers get less than $500 year cash.
That sort of thing must pass"
Legge is out to "halt" radiealiza-
tior among the poor farmers, In
stead of being able to prevent the
rehabilitation of TIE farmers he can
only greatly increase it because his
activities mean further penetration
j. % agriculture by finance capital,
with consequent increased exploita-
ton and worse conditions for the
aerarian masses, Legge's plan of
linking up the fa--lers' cooperatiYes,
so-called, with big business, can
only result in tens of thousands of
poo farmers becoming Disguised
with these organizations and this
will lead to the organization of a
militant farm movement in this
country which will know how to
f hit successfully him and his kind.
Poverty among the farmers will
never be eradicated by the Legges
and their Farm Board. "That sort
of thing" will never pass under cap
italism. The cotton growers, as
well as the grain growers and the
workers on the land, generally will
continue to get less and less cash
each year. This is inevitable.
Legge and capitalism stand for the
independence" of the individual,
small producer. The small farmer
wants his household, Legge thinks,
This is the philosophy of capitalism.
The trouble is that capitalism and
Mr.. Legge cannot give this home
stead to the individual farmer. In
stead, they are taking it away from
him at an increasing pace, and the
organization of the Farm Board will
not be able to prevent this process
of appropriation.
The Soviet Union is not following
the Legge method of solving the
farm problem. Here the farmers
and the workers are establishing
giant farms, thoroughly socialized,
and by this Ii ans production is in
creased, the hours of labor de-
creased and the standard of living
of the peasantry is going upward.
But such good things cannot be ac-
complished in the United States I'M
der the capitalist system. Only a
workers. and farmers" government
can solve the farm problem in this
country. Every poor farmer and
agricultural worker must be inter
ested in the specialization of agri-
culture in America. The wav to

TRENTON TOILERS
BATTLE BOSSES
and BEAT THEM
Fight Back Attacks by
Wire Bosses

TRENTON, N. j., Nov. 90
Three months of terror against
members of tie Communist Party
who have been distributing the fight
ing shop paper, the Crescent Live
Wire" to the thousands of workers
who slave in the Crescent Wire and
Gable Company reached culmina-
ton last Satu ~ at m. when
workers fought h~~' the attempts of
the bosses and their flunkies who
three times tried to smash the Com
munist workers ranks and were
driven back each time, The Cres-
cent bosses had to ultimately sur
render the ground, and the Commu-
nists completed their distribution.
Scores of Crescent workers, who
have read two issues of the Live
Wire" and liked it, not only were
deaf to the pleas of the bosses to
aid the attack on the Communists,
but these workers even unanswered
it 80 that the bosses found them
selves facing a wall of their own
employees,
The growing hostility of the hum
dreds of Crescent workers was the
main reason for the final retreat of
the bosses, The struggle has dis
tinctly raised the prestige of the
Communist Party in the minds of the
Crescent workers.
The resistance of the workers on
Saturday was an incident in the at
tempt to terrorize, made by the
bosses, which has marked each dis
tribution of the Crescent Live Wire.
Johnny Brown, a young worker of
IS, was beaten in the office of Muir
ray, the principal owner of the Cres-
cent Company, while distributing the
October issue.
Other workers who have faced the
bosses violence are H. Gold, Johnny
Viscar, Daniel Davis, and Anna

Two Subway Workers
Killed, y Hurt When
Trapped Through Fire

Two workers were killed and
twenty-five others injured in a rush
to escape being burned alive in a
shack used as quarters for subway
construction workers at Vernon Ave
nue. and Newtown Greek, Long Is
land City. More than two hundred
workers were trapped by the flames,
most of them on the second floor
from which the only escape was two
narrow winding stairways, SO low
that the men had to stoop to get
thru.
Hundreds of subway construction
workers, who are digging a tunnel
under Newtown Creek to connect the
Eighth Avenue subway line with
Brooklyn by way of Fifty-third ST.,
were housed in the shack, which was
a two-story building, one hundred by
fifty feet in size. The lower floor,
however, was used entirely for stor-
ing material and for the power
house, and the workers We're packed
into the upper story.
The fire, which occurred just be-
fore midnight Monday, began in the
power room and instantly spread
turnout the lower floor, sending a
cloud of black smoke thru the mar
row stairways into the room above.
1t was only by coming down thru
the dense smoke and risking death
from the flames on the first floor
were TIE workers able to escape be-
ing burnt to death. One of those
killed had just been employed and
had not yet started work. The COM
Ipany which employed him did not
even know his name, and his body
has not yet been identified.
