The Daily Worker:
Commander ONeil of the American
Legion, in an article in the N. Y.
Times dated Sept. Is endeavors to
link up Communism with lawless-
ness.
The republican and democratic
parties are examples of lawfulness
itself personified. Ell? Judge Sea-
bury's findings show this. Hauling
of hootch in the city dump scows,
bribing of judges, framing, falling
and clubbing to death of unemployed
workers for daring to ask for relief,
were not of Communist suggestion,
were they?
How about Senator Gates clan
destine debaucheries at the expense
of the widows pension and unem-
ployment relief fundsP Was he a
Communist? AS I now recall it
this concupiscent pervert recently
suggested that the red movement be
smashed. We would do well, wouldn't
we, to take advice from this typical
republican racketeer, robber of
widows and starving children?
Commander O'Neil acts as pump
man and the capitalist newspaper
the pipeline for the vomiting out OF
this odorous cesspool of lies andfalse
interpretations.

ANACORTEs. WasH-The Ana
cortes Lumber and Box Co. has cut
the wages Of its employees 80 per
cent. This is the most vicious wage
attack in the lumber industry in a
number of years. The lumber bar

them mad, and the workers are the
victims.
Vote Strike
One hundred forty-four workers
Immediately walked out of the mill

strike and two to back to work. The
demands were drawn up, and de-

not fight with the workers, that If
they did not want to work for this
wage they would close down After

the role of the capitalist state as a
strikebreaker was made clear and
when the men went back to work the
ranks were solid and when Nicholas"

rushed into Higgins office and said,
"Nows' the time to cut while the

the part of the rivermen to offset this
by strike action was pretty evident
and the boatowners decided to post

Despite Deportation
Threats of Bosses

All this with one purpose to break
the union and institute a wage-cut,
but despite the terror and raids of
the immigration inspectors the ranks
are pretty solid all due to the fact
that the union has been able to ex-
pose this tactic and mobiIzing the
workers against this.
At 2 open air meetings these tactics
of the bosses were exposed.

when the miners complained, the
bosses, upon learning the names of
those complaining, fired them.
-Four miners were working in one
section of this mine where the tracks
were raised from the pressure of the
mountain. The bosses ordered the
miners to lower the track without
taking off the rails or removing the
ties. 1t was really necessary to use
dynamite, but the bosses compelled
the men to use axes instead.
The boss then bawled the men out
for making no Roadway and told
them to get their tools and go home.
The miners complained in the local
Of the UM.W.A. but the officials
sided in with the boss. Nothing was
done.
Strike Develops.
Three miners we're working on shift
lowering lumber. They were told by
the boss that they were only to work
two days a week This matter then
became the basis of a local grievance
out of which a successful strike de-
veloped. On August the miners of
the local called meeting to decide
on strike action. A struggle devel-
oped-the rank and file of the miners
against the officials. We miners de-
manded that the three miners be al
lowed to work days a week. We
demanded new lamps. The strike
started August II and lasted until the
31st of the month.
Takers Try To Smash Strike.
Several times meetings we're called
at which Brennan and other takers
tried to deceive the miners and bull
doze them into resuming work and
not pressing their demands further
The UMWA officials also condemned
the strike in their statements to the
press.
Miners Win.
The miners fought on, however.
The police were called, but there
were no arrest lade. Every meeting
that we held was stormy one with
the miners fighting against the U.
M, w. A. officials and Lewis, who
signed year contract which meant
that the miners must work for prac-
tically nothing. In face of this the
bosses were compelled to make con-
cessions to us. They gave us new
oil lamps and also employed the
three miners on full time. On the
first of September the miners re-
smned work. The miners here do not
believe Lewis. They are nh talking
about the new union, the National
Miners Union.

 NOMINATED PRESIDENT

NEW YORK, Nov, 4, (R-A series of important conferences designed to force the nomination of a dripping wet" Democrat for the presidency next year was in prospect of Cermak's arrival with a party midwest political lead- CTS.
 Mayor Cermak's group bore down upon New York Democratic chiefs with the threat of third party and the warning that Ilii- nois did not consider Gov. Frank lin Roosevelt a formidable can didate", especially without the support of Al Smith
 "A man of the Al Smith tyre has to be the nominee if the Dem ocrats hope to win', Mayor Ger mak asserted If Govern Roosevelt is wet enough to De governor of New York and to be supported by Smith, he is proba ! bly wet enough for the National needs of the party. But when I speak of a man of Al Smiths type I mean James Hamilton Lewis"
 Mayor Cermak explained he meant that Lewis. U. s. Senator from Illinois, is as wet as Smith and as popular with his home state constituents. Lewis carried Illinois by 75O,0OO over Mrs. Ruth Mccormick last election. Herbert Hoover defeated Alfred Smith in Illinois by 100000 in the >presiden- tial polling of 1928.

JAPAN WARNS MOSCOW HER TROOP MOVEMENT
 REACTS INTENTIONALLY

TOKYO, Nov. 4 (P) - Japanese Foreign Minister Baron Shidehara in dispatching a friendly" note of warning to Moscow insisted that Russian military operations along the Manchuria Siberia border be discontinued.

TOKYO Nov 4. (P-While it's troops moved farther into Man churia and encountered the Chin csc machine guns in one instance, the Japanese government began drafting a note to the League of Nations insisting that China recog- nize the validity of the treaties under which Japan operates in Chinese territory.
 The note, now being drafted, will be a reply to that of Aristide Bri- and, French statesman, wherein he set forth his views regarding the five fundamental principals to which the Tokyo government had previously asked China to subscribe as prerequisite to the withdrawal of Japanese troops from the occu- pied areas.
 The note will also say that unless China recognizes and lives up to the terms of the 1915 treaty under which Japan was given certain rights in Chinese territory that normal relations between the two nations cannot exist.

DEMOS CORRAL HOUSE
 CONTROL FIRST TIME
 F0R THIRTEEN YEARS

WASHINGTON D. C., Nov. 4. (P) The Democratic push begun last November attained still greater proportions as the results of yes terday'S elections, virtually will shove the party into control of the next House
 The Democrats reclaimed the governorship of New Jersey. A re- volt was brought about in the eighth district of Michigan where the voters abandoned Republican, ism for the first time since 1898 and gave the Democrats a House majority of one Representative and with it the best chance for control of the House, the first time they nave been in the majority for Is l .5ears.
 Tn both the eight Michigan dis tricts and in the New Jersey guber- -atorial race, the Democratic can c1idates went to the polls in search of a rebuke to the Republican ad- rainistration.
 Another strategic position was the first Ohio. district which was represented so long by the late Nicholas LongWorth, but the dis crict remained in the Republican column by a substantial vote.
 Tn New York where Governor Roosevelt and Al Smith fought over 2 reforestation issue, Roosevelt won n a sweeping victory
 Over the elections hung the ever present shadow of prohibition and 70 the opposition went the fruits i the balloting. Each of the five new Congressmen elected, three Democrats and two Republicans travel under the standard of either repealists or modificationists. In a time of three years the wet bloc n the House has grown from less than 70 Representative to about toU now.
 Unless some of these anti-pro- 1ibitionists change their views soon and before Congress meets, it is practically assured that President Hoover will have politically hostile House during the remainder of his term
 AS a result of the election, it ap- qears that Representative Garner of Texas, and LongWorth's old Friend, will be elected to fill the vacancy of speaker Garner is a Democrat. It also appears that chairmanships of many powerful House committees will go to South er nDemocratS.
