bullet had pierced the right rear fender,
another aid gone through the back OF

elaborate smoke-screen device and all

moved to make room for the cargo.
Several containers had been shattered
by bullet, a circumstance which prob
ablv saved the rum-runner from injury.
The car bore District tags and an
extra set of Maryland plates, and efforts
are being made to trace ownership
through them. The officers said the
car probably was coming in from Balti-
more by roundabout way to avoid the
more heavily guarded route through the
Northeast section.

Dramatic Group

Tine Workers Theatre announces
that this year its work is organized
for the purpose of spreading work
ers' culture as widely as possible,
To carry out this aim, the group as
a whole will meet only once week,
on Fridays at 8 p. m. The meeting
place at present is Astoria Hall, 81
E. 4th st. (near 3rd Ave.).
The work is of a mass character
so that all can take part without
having any particular ability. 1t is
also chance for those who do not
speak good English to learn it thru
singing of workers songs and mass
recitations.
Groups from unions who take part
in the work will thus acquire the
means for supplying entertainment
at their own union affairs, and the
class conscious character of the
work will help in solidifying the
union spirit, and bring new members
into the union.

The Rev. John Haynes Holmes,

Federation of Labor, showed his
support to the enemies of the work
ers by bailing out of jail Dora

was charging unemployed workers

Over $50 jobless stormed the Of
flee of the Reliable Employment
Agency with demands for the return
Of their money. The agency was not
able to supply any jobs.
Police were called to protect the
proprietors of the agency. The
agency bosses were finally arrested
because of the obvious fraud charges
perpetrated against the workers.
John Haynes Holmes rushes to the
aid of these lowest type of criminals
who steal money from unemployed
workers.
Hundreds of revolutionary workers
have languished in Jail in this city
for lack of bail, but John Haynes

unconcerned. Why the great interest

Like Social-Fascists

ALBANY, Jan. l.. Governor
Roosevelt's message shows the results
of his collaboration with the social
fascist agents in the ranks of the
American Federation of Labor. He
asks for Improvement of the strike
breaking state police.
In order to give a liberal tinge to
his message, and to outwit his rivals
in the third capitalist party, parad-
ing under the alias of Socialist par
ty," Rooseveltgives half-hearted sup
port to a fake eight-hour day law.
He asks for regulation by the capt.
talist state of private employment
agencies. The Communist Party in
its unemployment program calls for
the abolition of all private employ
ment agencies, and the establishment
of free employment agencies by the
government under the supervision of
the workers.
Roosevelt swallows the A. F. of l..
confused and false doctrine that Ga
Dor of human beings is not a CON-
modify or an article of commerce"
Roosevelt wants by law to wipe out
the scientific MARKHAM fact that hui
man labor power under capitalism
is commodity. He can no more
do it than by passing a law declar-
ing that though electric power can
be bought and sold it is no longer a
commodity.

While this injunction applies only
to one of the shoe companies which,

MOONEY CREETS
LABOR Defense
IN CONFERENCE
Glass w ar Prisoners
Say Intensity Fight

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. 2. =
From the capitalist dungeons of this
country handshake of solidarity
was extended to the workers of this
country and to the workers interna-
tionally, at the Fourth National
Conference of the International La
Dor Defense.
Greetings from Tom Mooney,
framed-up labor leader who has al
ready spent thirteen years in San
Quentin, were brought to the Con-
vention by the California delegation,
whose members lad visited him in
Jail. Mooney greeted the confer
ence of the international Labor De-
tense, calling for a greater mass
organization of workers to fight for
the release of all class-war prison
ers, and for the greater unity of
the working class in the fight
against capitalist persecution and
terror.
Leo Stark, who had spent eleven
years in Jail in California, convicted
under the criminal syndicalism law,
brought personal revolutionary
greetinLs to the convention as a
member Of the Baltimore delega-
ton. Stark spent -four and one-half
years in one cell with Billings. In
his speech at the Sunday morning
session of the Conference he told of
his struggles as a member of the
Industrial Workers of the World
in years gone by when he partici-
pated in the free speech fights of
that organization, his participation
in the Cripple Greek strike, and
other struggles CT the workers OF
the Northwest. He is at present
an organizer for the Marine Work
ers' League and represents 600 sea-
men of the Baltimore local at the
conference.
Ella Reeve (Mother) Bloor, vet
eran of the class struggle, brought
greetings from the Centralia pris-
oners. whom she had visited on her
way to the Conference from Seat
tie, Wash, where she is acting as
the District Organizer of the l. L..
D. The Centralia prisoners sent
through Mother Bloor, their mill
tant greetings to the Conference,
calling upon mass movement of the
workers to set them free, as well
as all other class-war prisoners. The
central point of their message was
to intensity the fight to free the
Gastonia defendants into the widest
mass movement possible.
M. L. Maxim, needle trades work
err serving a two-and- one-half year
term in Comstock on the Mineola
charge, sends his greetings to the
convention from behind prison walls.
1.-THE working class of the United
States, after years of suffering"
writes Maxim, "has at last realized
the necessity of an organization that
will always be ready to protect the
vanguard of our class from the
hands of the ruling class. AS one
of the helpers in building the /. L. D.
since its formation in this country,
| am sure that the conference will
result in inspiring the delegates to
greater struggle.

B, Shearer, propaganda of the

Admiral Bradley E. FisSe, in a
statement issued to the capitalist
press.
Fiske said:
81 believe in Shearer," he said to
The World. 81 admire him very much
and Think he has been not only
misunderstood, but very much ma
ligned. I have looked int ohis al
legged activities at Geneva and 1
find he was only doing what the
Government was trying to do. The
only people he was opposing were
the British.

BOSS SCANDAL
Capitalist Sports Graft
Ridden

Some of the graft behind the
scenes of capitalist sports are being
made public as a result of Francis
X. McQuade's suit to compel the
National Exhibition Company, own
er of the "New York Giants" to re-
instate him as treasurer. Financial
intrigues on each side are exposed
to the other. Judge Lands, official
be eball dictator, is involved.
Professional sports are manipu-
lated by cliques and stock in the
controlling companies is sold at
high prices. The capital;-t sports
are being promoted to keep the
workers attention away from the
class struggle.

workers. The TUUL actively orga-
nizes the unorganized metal work
ers, marine transport, laundry, tex
tile, building trades, subway and con-
struction workers, etc. In all strug-
giles the TUUL pays special atten-
ton to the Negro workers, who are
most exploited and Disseminated
against, both by the bosses and the
reactionary A. F. of L. officials and
socialists. The tens of thousands
of young workers and women work
ers are almost totally unorganized
and are ruthlessly exploited. These
sections of the working class play
tremendous role in every struggle
against the bosses.
At the TUUL convention of great
err New York and New Jersey, work
ers from new unions, shop commit
tees of organized and unorganized
workers, and class conscious work
ers in A. F. of L. unions will con-
slider the building of solid class
front under the new revolutionary
Trade Union center.
Campaign for Social Insurance.
A very important problem before
the convention will be the organiza-
ton of broad campaign for social
insurance. In America, the richest
country in the world, where the
workers suffer most from unemploy-
ment, from disability resulting from
the speed-up and accidents, from
early physical exhaustion and retire
ment, there is no social insurance
whatsoever. This problem is of the
most vital Importance to all work
ers.
