The time is in the dark of the
western sun slowly sinking behind the cactus
covered hills has tinted the skies crimson with
faring banners of light which fringe the low
trailing clouds with silver and gold. The
tains of night drawing together fast are Danish
ing day from the scene. The darkening puppies
only remain thru which the millions of stars
begin to CLEAN. Near and far the night calls
and answers of the mystic land of Arizona
be heard.
Presently waiting thousands of the worlds
citizens will hear the SOFT clear notes of the
flute signaling the opening of scenes of age
long past, but not forgotten. spell of

who watching time has turned back and
they are witnessing, did the people when this
part of the world was young the ceremonies of
the ancients.
Down thru the centuries have come the
wierd, fantastic dances. Supple bodies in actu-
al portrayal of homage to the sun, moon, stars
gods of thunder, rain and storms, spirits of good
and evil, to the refrain of c ants of the medi-
cine men, and throbs of the drums, perform as
did their ancestors thru generation after gener-
alton. The Seris, from Tiburon Island, in the
Gulf of California, the she'll bearers an almost
extinct tribe once the cannbal of North Amer

over by the converging of the Gia and Colora-

messed by the whites, the Yumas, Maricopas
Apaches, Hopis, Huallapais, Pimas and
representatives of many other tribes of western
America, are before us, or about us.

ANOTHER STAR APPEARS
IN FIRMAMENT

In this weeks exchange The

booster sheet of six pages gotten
out during the recent Coolidge

a California booster paper look like
a flop.

is deserving of a lot of credit for
his pioneering spirit in establish
ife the weekly Coolidge Examiner,

AS the meeting came to close,
and the speakers were about to
answer questions, one of the Lewis
takers, sticking his head through
the door, shouted: whats the
matter with the Lewis union?" At
the same time another Lewis hood
lum threw stick of dynamite into
the hall. Someone cried A bomb!
A panic followed. Everyone in the
hall ran for the doors. Had the
hall been packed somebody might
have been killed in the rush. The
dynamite did mot explode so we
went back into the hall, picked it
up, and put out the fuse. Naturally

HEAR REPORT ON USSR;;
DONATE TRACTOR TO IT

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 22.-In spite
of the hottest day this summer in
Chicago 600 in the shade) the
workers packed the Peoples Audi
forum on Thursday, July 10, to
listen to the report of the Workers
Delegation to the Soviet Union.

and the May Day celebration in

dreds of thousands of armed work
ers marching by we knew that there
is no power on earth that can crush
the Soviet Union" he said. Here
the rulers are afraid to trust the
workers to carry even little re-
volver, while there the workers are
carrying big guns, and yet. the
bosses press has the nerve to say
that the Bolshevik Government
keeps itself by bayonets. Now, who
is afraid of the workers, those that
give them. big guns, or those that
are afraid to trust them with even
a little revolver" he asked, amidst
the roar and applause of the audi
ence.
Many joined the Friends of the
Soviet Union. under whose auspices
the meeting was held. A collection
was taken up for a combine to be
sent to the farm, "The Land of the
Soviets," where 10 tractors sent by
the F. S.. U. are now on the job.

PAY Less FREQUENT

Chicago, Ill.
To the Daily WORKER

Chlcag0, LII.
To the Daily WORKER
Many of the big factories are
publishing regular shop papers in
order to keep the minds of their
workers enslaved, especially the
open-shop bosses, who are afraid
their slaves may join the unions,
are doing it. The Western Electric,
the Chicago Bell Telephone Co. and
many others have their so-called
"house organs" But many of the
smaller slave-driving joints, who
cannot afford to publish their own
poison sheets, are making use of
the special shop papers published by
the Y. NJ. c. A. One Of such sheets
is printed by the Ravenswood
branch of the Y. M. G. A. and is
called Ravenswood Industrial Oil
Can. Attempting to be funny, it
states that it is ISSUED not too
often, like pay checks" The truth
of the matter is that pay checks
in the Ravenswood district are not
issued very often these days, the
factories working five days with
about half of the forces or less.
Real revolutionary shop papers,
published by the workers them
selves, are needed in this district to
counterfeit the poison of the bosses
and their lackeys of the Y. NJ. C. A.

something else again from the Am
torg.
At the beginning an hour was
taken up trying to make Bogdanoff
take the oath. He wanted to af-
firm, and he did affirm.
Amtorg is still on the stand to-
day, and the evidence against the
Whalen forgeries is still not on the
committee records.
Aside from Djamgaroff, the 60
between for Easley and Whalen and
the Fish committee and the Russian
monarchists in U. S., there were IN
the COMMITTEES room yesterday the
portly publisher Of Novoe Russky
Slovo, the Russian monarchist paper
in New York, and an individual who
called himself Gregory Pernadsky,
and styled himself president of the
Research Publishing Corporation.
This fellow acted as interpreter for

Daily Worker:
Dear Comrades Here is some
information of what is going on in
the mining section of Southern Hi
nois. In Saline County, No. 1
O'Gara has spread its strike to No.
12 and to No. 10, under the leader
ship of the frank and file" move
ment, which, we comrades know, is
an undercover movement for Lewis,
as Lewis can't bother Illinois on
account Of the injunction. This
frank and file" movement don't let
any Of the "progressives" have a
voice in its meetings. Anyone can
see that this is the iron rule of the
indianapolis chief.
Hold Open Air Meets.
We have had three N. M. U. open
air meetings, two of them well at
tended by sympathizers. Last night
we had a N. M. U. local meeting
and we took in a small number of
members who elected delegates to
the youth conference to be held in
Ziegler on July 20. Also, all of the
members challenged each other to
see who can have the most men to
join the N. NJ, U. for which they
are working among the masses.
No. 1 O'Gara has been on strike
for a few days on account of the
miners aiming to have another mass
meeting. This is the game the OPP
orators try to put over on the min
ers. The U. M. W. A. has just about
proved to the miners that it has no
power, as the miners have not very
much faith in the rotten thing.
But the conditions the miners are
in is going to force them to act
soon. For hundreds are hungry
now. Some can't even get one loaf
Of bread at the company store.
Times are horrible in the Saline
County section. This would be a
good place for the big poodle dog
lovers to dump their food instead
of dumping carloads in the river, as
has been done in New York. And
If the captain Of the poodles don't
dump something here soon the
workers will get wise. For their
brain box (stomach) is just about
empty.
Miners, Join the N. NJ. U.
We are having another meeting
tonight in Harrisburg. Freeman
Thompson, Nels Kjar, Arthur Her
chey and some local comrades will
speak. The seeds of the N. M. U.
have been sown too deep in Saline
County for the other takers to fool
the miners. We are spreading our
forces over the district, organizing
for the Second National Convention
to be held in Pittsburgh, Pa, on
July 26.

TO OK PLATFORM
OF CP IN CHICAGO
State Ratification Con-
vention July 9th

CHICAGO.-On Sunday, July 27,
at 10 a. M, at Peoples Auditorium.
2457 w, Chicago Ave-, Chicago, the
Illinois State Ratification Conven-
ton of the Communist Party will
be held, to which will come dele
gates from working-class organiza-
tons of all types in every part of
the state.
Every important shop in the in
dustrial area of Chicago and its en-
virons, every important mine in the
coal fields of Southern Illinois, every
mass trade union, every workers
fraternal society, has been invited
to send delegates to ratify the slate
of the Communist Party to be pre-
scented to the workers of Illinois in
the November elections.
The last year has witnessed great
strides in the development of the
influence of the Communist Party
upon workers in every branch of in
dustry. The Party has proven itself
the champion not only of the in
terests of workers engaged in indus
try, but has for the whole year stood
out as the one working-class organ
ization which has carried out a con-
sistent and militant fight against
the capitalist disease of unemploy-
ment.
A Political Fight.
Especially today, in the face of
the critical position in which the
American working class stands,
with increasing unemployment,
speed-up and wage-cuts menacing
the life of every worker, in the
face of the new wave Of strikes
sweeping the coal fields Of Southern
Illinois, it becomes necessary for the
working class to recognize that their
fight against the conditions under
which they suffer is a political fight
against the capitalist form of gov
eminent and that there is only one
party which can give them mill
tant leadership in the conduct Of
their struggle-the Communist
Party.
The Communist Party asks the
working class as whole to send
delegates to the State Ratification
Convention, SO that the whole Amer
lean working class can give express
sion to its support of the candidates
of the only workers party-the
Communist Party of the U. S. A.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE Halls
RENEGADE LOVEST0NE

Chicago, III.
To the Daily Worker:
The Chicago Tribune the lingo
paper of big business, printed last
week an attack against the Commu-
mist Party of the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics by the renegade,
Lovestone, made at a conference of
the Lovestoneites in New York
The special correspondence from
New York was displayed prom
inently with big headlines quoting
speech by Lovestone himself!
On Friday, July IS, the same
lingo newspaper came out with an
editorial based on the activities of
Mr.. Lovestone, also attacking the
Soviet Union and defending the
"soundness" of the renegade. Says
the yellow sheet about the yellow
renegade:
'Mr. Lovestone adds that the
popularity of the Communist
Party in the United States is not
to be estimated by the occasional
success of the comrades in bring
ing the police down on them.
Mr.. Lovestone knows that the
police can be irritated into the
use of banana stalks or their
clubs and nothing except irrita-
ton is revealed thereby. -"
Congratulations, Mr.. Lovestone!
At last his true value is being rec
ognized by the capitalist class whom
he serves so well. If there are any
rank and file Lovestoneites who
doubt it, let them read the editorial
in the Chicago Tribune, the worlds
greatest capitalist mouthpiece.

the unemployment organization.
The outstanding shortcomings in
the preparations for the convention,
he said, were the passivity in the
districts, and the failure to do any
thing until about a week or ten
days before the convention.
Comrade- Dunno reported on the
situation in the mining industry.
He said the situation was one of
small strikes broadening out into
larger struggles. The main task of
the union is to unite these strikes
into general struggle. The min
ing industry is one of the first to
feel the severe effects of ration
alization. Struggles in the Anthra-
cite are still in the hands of the
elements hostile to our program.
The. situation in Southern Illinois,
where we have almost a complete
following of the workers, must be
relentless fight against the United
Mine Workers of America. Activi-
ties in the miners union must be
drawn to the attention of all T. U.
u. L. members.
The National Miners Union con-
vention which is called for July &c
has the task to Immediately de-
velop a counter-offensive and to
prepare through intense organiza-
ton for the development of gen.
eral struggle in the mining indus
try. Organize and strike against
the increased system of wage cuts
and speed-up, as we'll as to struggle
against unemployment is the task
of the second convention of the N.
M. IT," said Comrade Dunno.
Soviet Union.
The defense of the Soviet Union
was made special point in the re-
ports and discussions. Comrade
Schmies and others pointed out the
rapid fulfillment of the five-year
plan and the building up of social
ism, which means for the workers
in the Soviet Union better living
conditions, increased wages and
shorter hours; while, on the other
hand, in the capitalist countries the
workers are suffering the brunt Of
the economic crisis, with its mass
unemployment and drastic wage
cuts. These facts must be brought
out to all workers.
The Fifth Congress of the r. l.
L. U. was taken up in detail. Es-
pecialiy in line with the policy of
the R.1.L.U. it was brought out the
necessity of struggling on two
fronts within the revolutionary
unions: against right wing tenden-
cies, and cleft" sectarianism, which
is nothing else but an attempt to
cover up the struggle against the
main danger, the right danger.

test by mass demonstrations Au-
gust 1, nine days from now.
Amtorg officials and their attor-
neys, who were in court with them,
Louis Connick of Simon Thatcher E.
Connick, and John Marshall, had
provided full documentary informa-
ton on Amtorg, which is a New
York stcte corporation, with its
capital stock of 100000 owned
by the Soviet Bank of Foreign
Trade in Moscow. Full details Of
its S100,000,00O trade last year, and
$S7,000,000 trade up to June this
year, had been provided. It's per-
sonnet was listed, together with ar
rival and departures Of $50 mem
bers Of Soviet Union trading com
missions last year, and 4s4 more up
to June 10 this year.
Everything any investigating
committee could want to know was
prepared in advance, by heads of de-
partments in the huge Amtorg
establishment.
Amtorg officials reason for ap-
pearing was to criticize, as they had
been promised they had the privi-
lege Of doing, the clumsy forgeries
that Whalen and the white guard
agencies in New York had launched
against them.
Evade the Facts.
But Fish and his committee
neither wanted the facts, nor did
they wish to expedite in any way
an examination of the Whalen for
geries.
They calmly waved aside the de-
tailed information offered them
about Amtorg, and insisted upon
dragging out as much of this al
peady freely provided material as
they could from the two officials
before them. With expressions Of
triumph, with insults directed at
the memory and veracity of the
witnesses, they got here a frag-
heht and there a fragment of the
facts already written out for them.
