Demand Embargo

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. "a
Another slanderous attack on the
Soviet Union coupled with demand
for embargo on Soviet products was
made here today by Matthew Vol.
Vol is vice president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and acting
president of the National Civic Fed
Grafton, strike breaking organiza-
ton composed of heads of big open
shop corporations and A. F. L. bu-
reaucrats.
VOLS argument was the old one
developed in articles now running
in most American newspapers, that
the Soviet government is starving
the workers and peasants, in order
to dump products abroad. He CAV
no proof, and avoided details, for
all facts are against the theory
Even the newspaper articles he relies
on tell of enormous building of So
cialized industry in the Soviet Union
and all late news tells of increase
in food supplies, even though the
Russian workers and peasants vol
unfairly shipped quantities of food
abroad to pay for the machinery
they are buying.

NEW YORK.-The combined
American socialist party and Russian

bring imperialist war against the
First Workers State yesterday, and
also defended the murder by the
British labor party government Of
thousands of Indian workers and
peasants.
After TRADES against the Soviet

ex-Judge Jacob Penken, both prom

under arrest.
1t voted down by an overwhelming
majority resolution to include the
murderous Macdonald regime in In
dia in the condemnation. This latter
resolution was offered by that young
socialist group which sees that the
official socialist movement has be-
come SO reactionary that it is losing
all the confidence of the workers and
wants to use subtler methods to mis-
lead them

Sabotagers In War Plot On

Professors, Cadets, Socialist Revolutionaries
Kulaks Old Capitalists and Foreign
Imperialists Organized Together

This is the first of a series of
articles explaining the phase of
the War Plot against the Soviet
Union and the counter revolution
airy movement which came to light
with the arrest of the sabotagers
and their confession. Within a
few days these sabotagers will have
a public trial, reported to the Daily
Worker. These articles appearing
before the trial will show what is
on trial, what the forces the ar
rested men represent, and how
they were trying to accomplish the
destruction of the first Workers
State.)
MOSCOW, U. S. S. r., Nov. 3d.
The arrest of two groups of sabotag-
ers here recently and their confess
sion that they were taking money
and orders from the government Of
ficials and chiefs of staff in Eng
land, France, Poland, Rumania and
other countries created a sensation.
The organization was discovered and
broken up.
Some of the facts already plain
are the following:
There we're two groups, which made
a bloc on the basis of the platform
of Professor Kondratiev, the "ideolo-
gist." Kondratiev has formed a
whole political party which was
called 1.-THE Working Peasants
Party with a central committee and
all. Kondratiev was chairman of
the central committee of this counter
revolutionary party.

Canadian Boss, Defending and
Standard Oil for War on USSR
2 Big Oil Trusts Make
Plans for Attack
on Soviet Oil

NEW YORK, Nov. "a - From Lon
don comes the report, cabled to the
Hearst newspapers recently by T. c.
Watson, their special correspondent,
that Deterding, vicious enemy of the
Soviet Union and head of the Dutch
Shell Oil Co., has concluded an agree
ment with the Standard Oil Co. of
the U. S. to wage war against the
Soviet Oil industry.
Included in the so-called agree
ment are the Standard Oil, the Shell
and the Anglo Persian group. Though
these oil robbers fight among them
selves for dividing up the worlds oil
resources they find common cause in
attacking the workers republic at pre-
cisely the time when from all sides
the war preparations increase visib-
ly.
strategic move of the oil robbers
against the Soviet Union is the Gre
alton of a monopoly of all available
oil tankers on which the Soviet pc
troleum organization relies" to trans
port its gasolene to Great Britain
and other places.
They hope by this move to choke
off Soviet oil exports, control the
markets, divide it between them
selves and handle prices to their mu-
tual advantage rendering a blow to
the workers republic.
The Standard Oil and the Dutch
Shell have a large fleet of tankers
which they control Their plan is

VIOLATE The
INJUNCTION
zELCREEN
Largest Demonstration
Yet Shows Workers
Will Smash It
5000 Mass Picketing
Carry on for 21a Hours
19 Arrested; 6 Injured

NEW YORK. - About three thou
sand workers and jobless came out
in mass violation of the injunction at
zelgreen cafeteria yesterday, and us
ing new tactics effectively picketed
the place for two hours and a half,
driving the police frantic by keeping
their placards up for over an hour,
singing, and shouting down with the
lnjunction!" Down with police brut-
ality!" They came at the call of the
Smash the Injunction Committee of
the Trade Union Unity Council.
Extra heavy forces of police were
there early, with two patrol wagons
and two emergency wagons. There
we're swarms of plain clothes men.
The police made pretense of using
their fists rather than clubs, but held
pieces of iron concealed in their
gloves. Half dozen of those arrest
ed were so badly beaten, they had to
be sewed up and bandaged at New
York Hospital before being brought
to court, which they entered with dis
colored eyes and swollen faces. 9th
ers had lesser injuries.
All Determined,
The crowd fought the police large
ly as individuals, it gave way before
the charging mounted police without
attempting to drag the cossacks from
their mounts, as could have been done
in many cases, if small groups had
co-operated.
But the workers we're determined
and not terrorized. Police charged in
groups of two or three into the mass
of picketers seeking as usual to tear
down the placards which carried the
slogans: Smash the Injunction:
End the 12-Eour Day; etc. This
time they failed. Occasionally the
uniformed thugs got a placard, but
the pickets showed skill in handing
them along, in concealing them for a
minute while the cops we're right on
top of them, and displaying them a
minute later. Once the placards went
up there was no moment at which

Just One More War
to Clean Up Moscow"
Urges Cockshutt

WINDSOR, Canada, Nov. 24.-The
Border Chamber of Commerce at its
latest meeting heard Colonel Harry
Cockshutt, leading capitalist and
politician, plainly demand war with
the Soviet Union.
CockShutt Is director of the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad, director of the
Bank of Montreal, president of the
Cockshutt Plow Co., eX-lieutenant-
governor of Ontario and representa-
tive of the king.
Cockshutt interrupted a discussion
of the industrial crisis in the United
States and Canada, which he ad-
mitS will get worse this winter, to
point out that much could be done
toward solving it by a war against
the Soviet Union This is the plan
all imperialist governments are
working on, and was strongly limited
in a speech by the Macdonald cab
met minister, Thomas, several days
ago.
But Cockshutt became almost hys-
terical in his speech when he started
to work up war sentiment. war
should be non-existent," he said
but before that l would have one
war-to clean up Moscow" Other
jems of his expression are: Eek
istence in Soviet Russia is worse than
death" and he remarked he could
not see how any other government
in the world allowed those conditions
to exist, or why these parasites filled
with the filth of Moscow are permit
ted to send their literature out to
other countries.

$500 AT J0BIESS
COUNCIL MEETING

NEW YORK.-Over $500 unem-
ployed workers gathered at meeting
of the Unemployed Council of Greater
New York, held in front of the fake
Tammany city employment agency.
They had stood around for days,
hoping for jobs which never came.
Most of them we're hungry and many
homeless
Milton Stone, one of the unem-
ployed committee, who was beaten up
in City Hall on Oct. Is by orders OF
Mayor Walker, spoke. He pointed
out that the struggle of the unem-
ployed at City Hall forced the boss
government to promise million dol
lars for relief. This was obtained
by fighting. 1t is not enough. But
only by mass mobilization of the I'M
employed can we force adequate re-

ployed came down to the headquar-
tiers of the Jobless Council

Comrade Doherty, the main
speaker, pointed out the fact that
unemployment was growing and that
only by fighting for immediate relief,
to be paid by the city government,
and for unemployment insurance
could the jobless keep off starvation.
The workers greeted the speeches
with enthusiasm. A good discussion
followed, the workers supporting the
unemployment insurance bill.

The platform of the w. P. p. of
Kondratiev in its political and econ
omic sections amounts to the fol-
lowing:
ID The overturning of the dicta-
torship of the proletariat and its re-
placement by 'republican-d demo-
cratic system" "a bourgeois parlia-

of capitalist commodity production.
