Election Drive
Red Mayor Is Guest at
Star Casino Banquet
Tonight

NEW YORK. Emile Nygard, first
Communist Mayor in the United
States, arrived here yesterday after
noon from Crosby, MINI, and plunged
at once into the Communist Party
election campaign in New York.
Stepping from the transcontinental
bus in which he had been riding for
so hours. Nygard responded to the
enthusiastic reception Of several hun
dred workers who had waited for him
over an hour at the terminal on Saith
ST., with a brief talk.
Candidates Greet Mayor.
Williana Burroughs, James W.
Ford, Henry Sheppard, and numer-
GUS other Communist candidates in
the present election were among those
who welcomed the Communist Mayor.
AS each bus arrived around the
time that Nygard was due, the crowd
s,rged forward expectantly. Finally
the bus carrying Nygard rolled in,
a few seconds elapsed before the
pounds, six-foot red-haired metal
miner from Cayuna iron range OF
Minnesota was recognized, and a
cheer rose.
Nygard spoke briefly about the
achievements and difficulties which
he has encountered as a Communist
official.
Later Nygard expressed pleasure
when informed that more than 1000
workers had already secured places
for the Election Campaign Banquet
at New Star Casino, 107th st. and
Park Ave, tonight, at which he will
be the guest of honor. Other
speakers will be Robert Minor, Com
munist candidate for Mayor in
New York, and Mother Bloor, IL

The spectacle of Mckee declaring
that he is not controlled by any boss
Is one of his old tricks dragged out
his political bag. Years ago Mckee
peddled the same lie to the voters.
This trick swept him into office. To-
day, as the tool of Boss Edward j.
Flynn, he hopes to fool the voters
once more.
In the summer OF 1925 when he
was campaigning for office with
James j. Walker the charge was
made that the two we're puppets of
the robber Tammany machine. Nc
Kee then vowed that he and Walker
had no bosses. Here are his words

Burlak, Drives Out
Lovestoneite
BY MARTIN RUSSAK

PATTERSON, N. j., Oct. 17.-Over
1000 A. F. of L. and unorganized
dye and silk strikers assembling to
hear reports ON the achievement of
unity in the strike, jarnmed Turn
Hall and milled out in the streets
outside in solid mass that could not
be moved by the police.
Earlier in the day the and-picked
A. F. Of L. Shop Delegates Body,
dominated by the Lovestonite organ
izer of the dyers local of the A. F. of
L., Jack Rubinstein and other U. T.
W. officials had refused to meet with
the N. T. w. U. committee to con-
slider the proposals of the A. F. of L.
workers and N. T. w. U. for organic
ing the actual mass unity already
won in the strike. This action was
taken in face of the overwhelming
demand for unity and mass revolt
against the U. T. w. officials by the
rank and file. The splitting officials,
Rubirstein and Yannerelli did not
even permit vote of the shop
delegates.
The Turn Hall A. F. of L. mass
meeting became furious repudia-
ton of Rubinstein and the other
A. F. of L. leaders trying to block
unity and Vigortio, president of the
A. F. of L. Dyers Local and others,
spoke for unity. Ann Burlak's APP
perance on the platform was greeted
with wild applause. A. r. of L.
workers, surrounding her in solid
body, had prevented the efforts of
Rubinstejn's henchmen to keep her

we're betrayed and the treasury was
pilfered by the political servants Of
Wall Street.
When the first rumblings of re-
sentiment against the odious Walker
administration made themselves
heard in the capitalist press back in
1926, Mckee showed his loyalty TO
the Tammany gang of grafters. He
came out publicly to praise Tamma-
ny spokesman in office. On July 2,
1926, he went so far as to write a
personal letter to Mayor Walker eu-
logizing him for his accomplish
ments. But the rumblings of protest
grew steadily louder. Again Mckee
did his little stunt for Tammauy. On
Aug 1, 1927, Mckee sent another
personal letter to Walker praising
him for his good work.
When, in 1929, the storm began
to break all about Walker and the
other Tammanyites, Mckee burst

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-THE Nazi prose-
cution in the Reichstag arson trial
prepared today to call four Nazi
chiefs as witnesses in an attempt to
answer the smashing exposures Of
Nazi bestiality and terror contained
in the Brown Book of the Hitler

The Nazi leaders, who arc supposed
to be summoned as witnesses, are
Wilhelm Goering, premier Of Prus-
STA and police head, whose monstrous
orders to his men to shoot down

published in the Brown Book; DR..

Following the announcement ~
the Nazi prosecutor that these four
would be called, George Dimitroff,
Bulgarian Communist leader, arose
from his seat and demanded he be

Very possibly Mckee did not think
at that time that these words would
be hurled back at him to indct him
in his new political venture. For, as
events proved, McKee's election and
that of Walker did mean exactly the

Davis Admits That
Powers Seek New
War. AlignmentS
u. S. Delegate Exerts
Pressure on French
and British Rivals

GENEVA Oct. 17.-Norman H.
Davis, chairman of the American
delegation to the disarmament"
conference yesterday admitted that
the adjournment of the conference
for ten days was effected to allow
the imperialist powers to seek new
alignnents in the rapidly developing
war crisis in Europe. Adjournment
of the conference was upon the in
sistence of the American delegation.
With the Wall Street Government
piling up ornaments in frantic
drive for war, Davis declared that
the American delegation was in Gen.
eva solely for disarmament pur-
poses" He stated that the Washing
ton government was not interested
in the political elements or any
purely European aspect of the pic
ture, but covered up the existence
of huge U. S. investments in the
European countries, and the role of
these investments in debating U. S.
policy
Davis profession of U. S. alcofness
and isolation was interpreted in rival
imperialist circles as a threat by the
American government to wash it's
hands off the disarmament" con-
ference and withdraw from the
anti German front unless its rival
ilnperialists submitted to the U. S.
program for the reduction of the
ornaments of its rivals. Davis pro-
fession of U. S. isolation merely
serves to emphasize the aggressive
policies of the Wall Street Govern
nent against its inperialist rivals.

last Friday. The call for this con-
ference was endorsed by the Fayette
County miners and Martin Ryan, in
surgent leader.
Because the District Conference
was held in Fayette County at the
same time the conference of the left
wing forces was held, representa-
tives from this most important field
could not attend the Brownsville
Conference.
They therefore held Q ceparG
conference last Saturday, at which
Martin Ryan, insurgent strike leader
of the Fayette County miners, was
present, besides other important 10
cal leaders.
Ryan explained the strategy OF his
position in the conference held last
Friday, TO which Lewis issued his
famous warning against the rank
and file ousting Feeney and elect
ing their own officials. Ryan de-
clared his strategy as being in the
best interest of the whole struggle
against the Lewis leadership and the
coal companies.

He urged endorsement of the con
ference being called for the coming

He said that to continue sending

mean that the miners would have to
arm themselves for battle, and,
therefore, could only be sent out
where there is call for help, and
then only in the daytime.
He explained that there is no
money in his local, with other locals
being many thousands of dollars In
debt for gas sf4d-oil.
The conference unanimously voted
to mobilize for Fridays conference.

shortcomings in the strike, and
