FACTS.
Of Interest
About Shoreham,

Facts always make interesting
reading matter and the opening
of the new Shoreham Apartment
Hotel tomorrow affords an op-
portunity to present a few in
teresting bits Of news about this
attractive structure located at
Connecticut Avenue and Calvert
Street, overlooking Rock Greek
Park.
The announcement of plans for
this eight-story structure, costing
in the neighborhood of 81, ,000, 900,
was first made on January 26 Of
this year, by the builders, Harry
Bralove, Edward c. Ernst and
John j. McInerney.
Excavations of the basement
started at once and today, ap-
proyjmately 10 months after the
announcement Of building plans,
the formal opening of the struc.
ture is announced to the Wash
ington public.
Each of the two units, the latter
Of which will be complete soon
after the first of the year, con-
tain 704 rooms and cover a floor
space of 16 acres.
The suites range in size from
one room and bath to seven rooms
and four baths. The end suites,
de luxe in character, contain $500
square feet and are divided into
foyer, living room, sun parlor, TWO
baths, dining room, kitchen and
pantry. Living rooms are equipped
with wood-burning fireplaces and
built-in book cases.
The two units will be connected
on the main floor by an elaborate
system of lobbies, promenades,
palm courts and public spaces,
consisting of a large swimming
pool, dining room and ballroom.
Ten million bricks have been
used on the exterior Of the build
ing. which, with limestone, have
been laid over a REINFORCED con-
crete frame work, in which 1t is
said $780, 900 cubic feet Of cement
have been used.
Replacing light bulbs will be, a
duty in itself, as more than 10000
electric bulbs have been used In
lighting the complete building.
Twenty miles of electric wire had
to be placed to make such a light
ing arrangement possible.
One has to be careful not to get
lost in the eight large living rooms
and main floor to which the pub
lie has access. Two Sub-base-
ments are located below the street
level.
The heat for the building is
supplied by two 1,000-horsepower
boilers while the oil heating sys-
tenn is fueled by two storage
tanks holding $1,000 gallons Of
oil.
Twenty-eight huge fans propel
an automatic ventilating system
while the vents are six by eight

COMMUNISTS IN
PENNA. ELECTION
Ratification Meet a t
Reading July Is

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July g.
The preparations for the Pennsyl-
vania Ratification Convention of
the Communist Party, which has
been called for Sunday, July Is in
Reading, are proceeding in the
midst of sharpening class-battles IN
several sections of the state.
Five workers are facing sedition
trial in the Anthracite, after the
state cossacks raided the Com
munist Party headquarters in
Scranton, determined to drive the
Party and the National Miners
Union into illegality, in order to
help the fascist leaders OF the
UMWA and the coal-operators to
put over a enlargement for the
miners.
In Philadelphia, the police and
Polly Baker of the International
Longshoremen's Association of the
A. F. of L., united against the
Party and the Marine Workers In
dustrial Union, in breaking up
meetings and arresting organizers,
because they realize that the ground
is slipping from under them. The
unity of the struggle in the econ
omic and political field is well borne
out in Pennsylvania.
The workers are beginning to
learn more and more that the Com
munist Party is the only leader in
the struggle, despite the statement
of the social-fascist Jim Maurer,
that "he will simply ignore the Com
munist Convention in Reading"
The Communist election cam
paign will expose these agents OF
the bosses, just as it will be a mob

Bliss workers. They are now plan
ming to introduce a bonus system in
order to make the worker think he
works for his own benefit and there
by produce more. But no longer
will we work a little faster when
our wages will be still further cut.
Just one instance to show how much
the police force really care for their
workers, and are interested in their
welfare. Recently one man of the
force was injured at work. The
compensation bureau O.K'd him,
meaning that he was able to work.
But the boss is making all kinds of
manipulations to get rid of him, al
though he does his work as well as
others. They simply don't want an
injured man. A bonus system
speed-up will make injuries more
frequent. Guard against it, fellow
workers. Let us organize to fight
against speed-up, against wage
cuts, and for employment insur-

There are four labor unions for

also the Southern Pacific r. R. have
their own private union, and to me
the four unions are one zig slave

l saw one of the dirtiest tricks

present too weak, fact brought
out at the recent Seventh Conven-
ton of the Party.
True, also, it is that the Com
munist Party of the U. S. A. has,
as one of "the fundamental prob
lens, to convert the Daily Worker
into an actual militant mass news
paper which will be the builder of
the Party and an organizer of the
masses"
All these tasks, however, were
already contained in the decisions
of the Seventh Convention of the
Communist Party of the U. S. A.
held two weeks ago, and at that
time given to the capitalist press
Of New York, which did not, how
ever, wish to publish them.
Hhe reason they did not publish
the Party decisions then, but now
play up the opinions harmonious to
those decisions expressed by the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union is that the capitalist press
wants to give their distorted view
of the relations between the Com
munist Party in the United States
and It's brother Party in the Soviet
Union. They deliberately try tc
distort the fraternal relations into
the view that all decisions of the
Communists of the United States
are dictated by Moscow" and sc
on.
Obviously, this is done to lay the
basis for q campaign of the bosses
to suppress the Communist Part!
in America, an aim in which the
renegades from Communism, o.
both the Lovestone and Trotskyit'
brand, help the bosses with theil
poisonous nonsense in agreement
with the capitalist press.

To the Daily WORKER
Whereas Bliss machine shop OF
Brooklyn used to work last year
with a force of over 1000 workers,
now it employs much less than
1000. Almost all the tool maker
were laid off. Wages were actual
ly cut nearly 20 per cent. The more
skilled workers of the factory were
getting formerly as much as 60c
an hour. Now even the highest
skilled mechanics get no more than
Csc.
In the face of this general cutting
production of the factory, there is,
however, one section that is thriving
and that is the U-Pida motor de-
partment. Here are produced mo-
tors for airplanes, mostly for mill
tary purposes. 1t started recently
with only Is men and now it has
already worked up to 60 men. This,
by the way, goes to show how much
nearer we are drawing to war.

ITALY ASKS REVISION
OF VERSAILLES TREATY;
WANTS FRENCH COLONY
Franco-Italia AntagOnisms in Mediterranean
and North Africa Intensified
Demand for Revision of Versailles Treaty vii
Speedily Lead to War

Scarcely month has passed since
Mussolini declared at Florence that
the Italian bourgeoisie "came back
from Versailles with mutilated
victory" The chief of Italian fas-
cism has now openly and definitely
voiced the demand for the revision
of the Versailles treaty in an inter
view printed in de Petit Parisien"
Thursday.
"There must be serious and sim
cere revision of the existing treat
ies," demanded Mussolini, and ex-
planned that "the nations which
emerged victorious from the war are
not satisfied with what victory has
given them, and before tranquility
is restored the retouching of the
pacts, which are at the base OF
European relations, must take
place"
It is true that this is one of the
clearest expressions of the extreme
iy intensified antagonism between
Italian fascism and French imperial
ism in the Mediterranean and North
Africa postwar Europe has ever
witnessed. But this is not all

Gitlow, in reporting" on trade
union matters, took the same stand
as, and .solidarized the Lovestone
renegade program with that of the

american Federation of Labor, for

League and complete subordination

While the Lovestonites reject the

of Moscow" they swallow the, die
tation of the fascist leaders of the

without batting an eye. Any fascist,
any boss, any enemy of the work
ers, would give the same identical
advice to the American workers.
The Communist Party of the
u. S. A. rejects and fights against
the fascist bureaucracy of the A.

the American workers. And it well

perialist powers openly raise the
question of re-division of colonies.
Present status of the different
imperialist powers and their colo
MES which resulted from the last
war is embodied in the Versailles
and it's sister treaties. A demand
for the revision of these treaties
means a demand for the redivision
of the world, which can never be
achieved by peaceful means and will
speedily lead to a new imperialist
war.
France, of course, is particularly
concerned with Mussolini's state
ment because Italian fascism is
after French colonies in Africa, in
GLIDING French Tunisia, as the Paris
paper "L'Intransigeant" has frankly
admitted. Leland Stowe, the Paris
correspondent of the New York
Tribune, also has observed that "the
French appear determined to pre-,
vent revision of the treaty by the
whole force of their diplomatic
strength, inasmuch as, in theil
opinion, such revision of the Euro
pean map would open the door tt
another war;"
1t seems as if France and ltal!
will soon repeat the story of Austris
and Serbia in 1914, and light thu
flame of the coming imperialis
war.

The demonstrators Friday re-
fused to dispense, and reformed
many times after being broken up.
Secondary meetings were held at
Madison and Ashland Boulevard

crowd filled the block displaying
"work or wages" signs and de-
manding unemployment relief and
insurance. After being broken ur

the crowd to slug a worker, ant

for a worker himself. The police
man knocked Moran cold with

with its reactionary policy and its
murderous acts. He also showed how
the pseudo-resistance to fascism put
