the red hand Of Moscow" The in
fluence of the Anglo-Dutch petro-
leum magnate, Deterding, does not
stop at the American frontier. His
action in the case was dictated by
equal parts of hatred against the
Soviet Union and fear of the pow
erful American competitor. As IN
all other countries, the anti-Soviet
provocations in the United States
damage chiefly the interests Of the
country in which they took place.
Any intelligent and objective Amer
lean can see at a glance that an
action aimed at damaging the Sow
let American trade relations at the
present moment of crisis is not in
the interests of the United States,
no matter how much Deterding
would be pleased at it. A continu-
alton of the provocative activity of
Whalen, however, would damage the
existing trade relations.

Lay Off Night Shift in Midland Steel

CLEVELAND, Ohio.-Conditions
in Cleveland are getting worse every
day. The Midland Steel Co. laid
off their night-workers and are cut

newspaper: Room and board, no sal

not enough for single men, this
Cleveland system of hiring men for
two or three days and then lay them
off and send dishonest reports out
of all men going back to work here
in Cleveland. Thousands of home
owners are losing their homes, be-
cause they cannot pay interest on
their mortgages.

working a week, demanded the union
scale, they were told by the boss
that if they did not like the wage
scale they could quit their job. The
union scale is 1920 per day.
"a complaint was given over TO
the district council by these work
ers, and they were told that strike
would be called on Monday, May II.
"This strike was not called. IN
stead of that the Officials of our
union have placed other men to take
the jobs from the strikers. The
strikers were informed that they
could get their jobs back if they
agree to go back to work for the
old scale. All this is done with the
aid and approval of our officials"

jury was a militant presentation of
working class issues and a call for
the working class to unite for a
struggle against unemployment. "In
my speech on February T." Flaiani
told the court and jury, 81 stated
that America is now facing a most
acute economic crisis. When Hoover
campaigned for president he spoke
about prosperity, yet there are g.
100000 workers unemployed in the
United States"
He said that he also told the work
ers at the mass meeting that the
Unemployed Council favored the
payment of $40 a week to all unem-
ployed workers with an additional
S. weekly for. each dependent, this
money to be raised by tax on the
employers profits.
At this time Fisch objected to
Flaiani continuing on the grounds
that he was Cooking for publicity"
while actually the true version of
the speech was breaking down the
frame up that the state had attempt
ed to build against the Communist
Party organizer.
"Organize and Fight,
/ "The wage cuts must be met"
Flaiani continued, "by the organiza-
ton of the workers and by strikes
for better conditions.
81 also REFERRED" the worker con-
tinued, ITO the Gastonia strike and
the resistance the workers there met
on the pickev line, the bayonets and
tear gas bombs of the mill owners,
also how the relief store of the
strikers was destroyed and told of
the eviction of the workers from the
company owned houses. Then on
June 7 the tent colony Of the strikers
was attacked by Chief of Police
Aderholt. Aderholt was shot as
result of his own attack. I also
pointed out that worker was the
first one shot when the colony was
raided.
Flaiani also pointed out, he said,
that the Communist Party is the
only organization fighting for the
interests of the workers, leading the
struggles of the miners, textile
workers and needle trades workers.
Attorney Abraham Isserman Of
the International Labor Defense ad
dressed the jury for the defense and
pointed out that Flaiani does not
deny speaking about the chief of po-

Big Drop IN Contributions
to DAILY Emergency Fund
At This Rate Our Paper Is Not Being Saved
and Strengthened for the Fight

We will let you judge. When our
receipts mounted to $579.11 two days
ago we were sure that our support
ers were in action, that the remit
tances received each day would in
crease steadily until our financial
difficulties were solved. Yesterday
we reported contributions totalling
S556.25. This was slight drop but
we did not think it dangerous.
When our receipts, however, fell
to $500 as you will see by today's
report, then you will agree that we
are not at all on safe ground. We
must caution all our supporters not
to take the situation the Daily Work
err finds itself in, too lightly. All

l. L. d. Call to Action.

The International Labor Defense,
through its general secretary, J.
Louis Engdahl, yesterday stated:
"The South's industrial despotism
has again shown its fangs.
"The Civil War laws charging IAN
attempt to incite Instruction and
distributing insurrectionary litera-
ture' are now being used to send to
death active spokesman of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, the
International Labor Defense and
the American Negro Labor Con-
gress.
"The crime was attempting to
hold a meeting of the American Ne
gro Labor Congress.
Another Victim.
"At the same time that this vi
cious attack was being made on
workers in Georgia, the employing
class police was arresting Stephen
Graham at Portsmouth, Virginia,
for distributing a leaflet against
lynching issued by the International
Labor Defense. He is charged with
distributing literature calculated to
incite a riot. The Virginia perse-
cutors place their charge directly on
that part of the leaflet mentioning
Powers and Carr and calling for
their release.
"This attack on militant workers
organizations goes forward at the
very moment that the North Caro-
lima Supreme Court has before it the
appeal against the vicious verdict
and sentence returned against the
seven strikers and organizers of the
Textile Workers Union in the strike
at Gastonia.
"The International Labor Defense
calls on all workers and poor farm
ers to mobilize as they did in the
Sacco-Vanzetti campaign, in the
struggle for the lives of the Gas
tonia prisoners, to save the lives of
Powers and Carr, and the other six
workers who are now facing judi
cial lynching in Atlanta"

ton of the National Miners Union,
was when those officials controlled
by the Peabody Coal Co. split off
District IL, Illinois, to form the
"Reorganized U.MW.A."
The present meeting was named
by its leaders "the Rank and File
Convention of the U. M. W. A"
Now they have voted to call another
convention.
When delegates from the National
Miners Union committees of action
appeared and demanded seats, they
were rejected by the misleaders.
Freeman Thompson, Louis Joyce,
Bill Lugge, L. Rice and Roy Groves
took the floor time after time, eX-
posing the Howat gang, and the
Howat "soreheads" who called the
conference, also the Lewis agents
who were present to try and swing
it to the arch faker in Indianapolis.
They denounced the steam rolling
by which the small takers here tried
to control the convention"
A motion was passed by majority
vote to allow the N. NJ. U. repre-
sentatives to speak. Norman Rag
land, disgruntled Lewis henchman
from West Frankfort, got the chair,
and refused to hear the N. M. U.
delegates. A hot debate followed,
during which seven delegates voted
for Andy Young, of O'Fallon, vice
chairman of the convention.
Call All To Support N. M. U.
Young took the floor and de-
clared openly for the National Min
ers' Union, advising all miners who
really wanted to improve their con-
ditions to join it. James Haines of
Pana, in a half hour speech showed
how both the Lewis and Howat-
Fishwick factions of the U. M. w.
are bosses agents against the min
ers, and declared that the present
leaders of the Rank and File" Con-
vention, would sell this new move
ment to the highest bidder, either
Lewis or Howat.
Haines called on all to vote to
join the N. M. U.
The socialist labor party man, L.
Lamb of Springfield, helped the
takers by a confused statement of
the problems of the working class.
This conference finally decided to
call another convention. The meet
ing will see struggle in its second
session of all N. NJ. U. delegates to
give Thompson an hour to explain
the situation from the point of view
of the miners themselves.

Police Kill Jobless.
While the workers gather in grow
ing numbers at the shop gates seek
ing jobs, about two weeks ago at
Ford's they quit hiring and modified
police to drive workers away, so that
when workers gather at the present
time they are mercilessly beaten by
the police, who only short time ago
killed an unemployed workers by
smashing his skull with a blackjack.
Despite this, workers gather at the

Over rs per cent of the building
trades workers are out of work with
no prospects of work for this sum-
mer. As a result the bosses are
nslashing wages everywhere and tens
fof thousands of building trades
workers vainly search for work. The

takers are worrying on account of
the falling off of dues payments and
are spreading the Hoover prosper
ity" bunk, in the hope of getting
big initiation fees from the morgan
lied workers, in order to draw their
big salaries. Workers, however, see
through this "racket" more clearly
every day with the disastrous re-
suits for the plans of the takers.

though they had brass band to at
tract attention.
Carpenters and other building
trades workers affiliated with the
Building and Construction Workers
Industrial League of the T.U.U.L,
distributing leaflets at the meeting,
exposing the role of the labor takers
as tools of the bosses, carrying out
the Hoover "big business" policy, IA
voring wage-cuts and more speed-up
instead of serving the interests of
the workers. These leaflets called
for the carpenters to attend meet
ing of the League on Sunday, May
IS.
Several of the officials tried to
stop the distribution Of the literature
but did not succeed as the workers
eagerly took handfulls from the dis
tributors into the meeting and re-
sponded to the T.U.U.L meeting.

new PLAN OF
EDUCATION IS
OFFERED WORLD

CHICAGO, Nov. 20. (UPt--One OF
the youngest major universities IN
the country, headed by the nations
youngest university president, today
offered to the world plan of edu
cation that provides for radica!
changes from established procedure
that has been followed for ages.
Announcement that the Unlversl-
ty of Chicago would undertake an
experiment intended to bring about
a radically different, speedier and
yet more thorough system OF educa-
ton and teaching was made by Ro-
bert Maynard Hutchings, youthful
president.
The principal change, Hutcails
announced, will be that an under
graduate student instead Of being
required to obtain a certain number
of credits or attend a certain num-
Der of years, will be Advanced
without a degree-Whenever he de-
nonstrates by examination that he
has acquired @ general education,
Many students, the young presi-
dent predicted, will finish their un-
dergraduate work in two years IN
stead Of four, due to radically dlt-
ferent methods Of teaching. Some,
he said, will require some time. A
genius, he predicted, may finish the
work in six months and he believes
