DEFEAT TR0TSKY
TRAITOR At MEET
Workers Refuse Floor
to SWabeck

CHICAGO, III. (By MaiD.-When
the Trotskyist, Arne Swabeck, at
tempted to exploit for anti-Commu-
mist activity personal friendship
among non-Communist Party men,
bers at recent meeting of the
Karl Marx Scandinavian Workers
Club, militant members of the club,
among whom were 200 Party men,
bers, turned the meeting into an
anti-Trotskyist demonstration and
refused Cwabeck the floor.
Swabeck had succeeded in getting
the executive committee of the club
to pass a motion inviting him either
to address the club membership on
"Trotskyism" or debate the subject
with a member of the Communist
Party. Rejecting the subsequent in
vitation, the Communist Party point
ed out the counter-revolutionary
maneuvering of Swabeck, and urged
the club to reconsider the motion and
listen instead to defenders of, rather
than renegades from, the Commit
mist International. By a narrow
margin the club executive voted
against calling off the meeting.
When it refused to print leaflets
advertising the meeting, however,
Swabeck issued leaflets on his own
initiative.
Following the breakup of the
meeting, the Trotskyists withdrew.
Public educational meetings, to COM
plete the ideol~ gical and organiza-
tional defeat of the Trotsky-C Cannon
Swabeck group, which incidentally
was never strong enough to stage
a public meeting here, are now be-
ing arranged by sections of the Com
munist Party.

FIGHT AT JOCOTE
Is Near Town Bombed
Last Year

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, March
pa battle between the United
States marines and a patrol of the
Nicaraguan army of independence
took place yesterday near Jocote,
Neuva Segovia, a report from the
northern district states.
One marine is known to have
been killed. No casualties are re-
ported on the Nicaraguan side.
Jocote is at the northern end of
the pass, where a tributary of the
Nueva Segovia river cuts through
the Teluca Mountains, an east-west
range that has long acted as a ma
tural defense against the depreda-
tons Of the marines.
The town is only a short distance
from the village of Ocotal, scene of
the famous battle where marines
bombed and killed defenseless
women and children more than
year ago.

POLICE FIGHT
SILK STRIKERS
Wilkes-Barre Workers
Hold Lines Firm

(WireleSs to the Daily Worker
WILKES-BARRE, Pa, March 81.
The elaborate strikebreaking ma
chinery placed at the disposal of all
employers throughout Pennsylvania
is also serving we'll the owners of
the Wilkes-Barre Weaving Co.,
whose workers are on strike for rec
ignition of their union and wage
raises.
Not a striker is permitted any
where within 500 feet of the plant
tied up by the strike, and organizers
of the National Textile Workers
Union are allowed nowhere near the
place.
Strike Ranks Grow.
Despite this and even worse acts
of terror, the strike ranks have been
augmented. The night shift is still
out 100 per cent and the day shift
is rapidly being won over to the
strike.
Police on horses and on motor
cycles flood the street where the
plant is located, flinging around vile
oaths, threatening to ride over the
strikers if they come near the plant.
Graft
AS the bosses and superintendent
pass the police the latter are handed
cigars. They are said to be receiv-
ing S. a day each from the bosses.
Clarina Nicholson, the strike and
union leader, on whom the capital
list press here vents its spleen by
calling her "the Nicholson woman"
and whose case is being appealed,
was told by the manly captain of
police, "the next time I arrest you,
you will get good SOCK"
''Pll Break Strike"
More brutal than this is the frank
declaration of Police Chief Russell
Taylor, who told a committee headed
by Clarina Nicholson, 81 am going
to break the strike. Also I am going
to have arrests made before and not
after they are necessary"
Nothing, however, can compel the
striking workers to go back to work
before their demands are met, they
declare. At a meeting last night, the,
first regular meeting of the new

! strength, struck Utyovkin in the
temple with the stone.
The Box of Matches.
THAT day Sashok rode into the
outlying district on his fathers
business, and appeared late in the
Naslovs' orchard. He was still hot
with the sun Of the fields, tanned
and hghthearted. His pockets were
filled with bean pods and peas
stolen on the way.
Nadya was alone in the orchard
on the pillows under the apple tree.
Tired by the suffocating heat and
the irritations Of the day, she slept
with her palm under her cheek, all
dewy and disarrayed. 1t was thus
that Sashok found her-very nice
little piece OF candy. He stole
near, lifted a tress of hair from
her face. and kissed her on the lips.
At first Nadya did not understand
anything, she lust opened her eyes
and grcaned. But where was COM
mon sense now? She felt so Ian
guild that she could not bend an
arm. Sashok smelled of road dust,
wheat, fresh peas. He lay down at
her side and began to whisper sweet
things in her ear. Nadya shook her
hand, that was the extent of her re-
sistance. And why not? Anyway
she was dishonored in the town.
And Sashka whispered some
thing about Hamburg, and fashion
able clothes. He murmured of
silk stockings into her ear, the ac-
cursed one. His hand was al
ready on Nadya's side.
1t was just then that Utyovkin
said under the locust:
"Ah, tra-ta-ra-ra!"
Nadya shrieked and began to run.
Sashok overlook her, and swore that
he would marry her. She trcmbled
like mouse. They did not hear the
short words between Utyovkin and
Huzheninov, nor the blow, nor the
cry, nor the struggle that followed.
Nadya repeatedly said;
LET me go, let me go, I must go
home"
Sashok answered insinuatingly:
Home? All right" And he let
go of her sweating hands. Nadya
went away, not through the alleys
as usual, but by a roundabout way
through the pasture, where the sha-
dows Of little mounds blackened I'M
der the moon in a long deserted
graveyard. Sashok followed her at
distance.

PHILADELPHIA. March 81
Members of the Upholsterers Union

Goldberg Brothers also demand
''the right to reorganize the shop

Nadezhda (Nadya) Ivanovna, his

WASHINGTON, D. c., March q
(LRA) The U. S. federal govern
ment is advised to do nothing about
unemployment insurance, in the re-
port on Causes of Unemployment
by the senate committee on educa-
ton and labor. Couzens of Michigan
is chairman of the committee which
acted on LaFollette's resolution for
an investigation.
'If any public insurance scheme is
considered, it should be left to the
state Legislatures to study that
problem" recommended the commit
tee. There is no necessity and no
place for federal interference in such
efforts at this time"
Passing the buck to private en-
ployers, the committee concludes
Neither the time nor the condition
has arrived in this country where

this government. Private employers
should adopt a system of unemploy-
ment insurance and should be per-
mitted and encouraged to adopt the
system which is best suited to the
particular industry" This is an en-
dorsement of company GROUP in
surance" plans used by hundreds of
corporations to tie workers to jobs.
Interested in protecting the pro-
fits of employers, but not in help
ing jobless workers, the committee
condemns what it calls the social
istic" schemes adopted in foreign
countries, because the employer
who stabilizes his employment does
not escape the burden of paying for
unemployment in other industries. :"

Judge Robert Moss in circuit

service around the left turn at

Attorneys for the railroad said
that the traffic ordinance was
passed in 1924. and was not
applicable to trains, but only to
automobiles and horse drawn
vehicles. They claim further
that the city officials had no
right to stop train service, that
only the Interstate Commerce
Commission controls such traffic.
The controversy between the
railroad and the city is Of long
standing. The mayor notified
the road last September that the
tracks would have to be removed,
