Melon Service

Melon Service
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Which is correct, to eat a
cantaloupe with a fork or a
spoon? L.
Either is correct. It is just
which you find more conven-
lent. If a half of the canta-
1oupe is served, usually we find
a spoon more convenient. If
a slice of melon is served, any
kind of melon, many people
find the fork, or the knife and
fork, more convenient.
In Europe the small knife
and fork, the fruit knife and
fork, are always placed with a
slice of melon, and many times
this is the service that we find
here.

We have been asked if the
stories in the rip Van Wrinkle"
contest are to be about the
writer's own little circle of
friends or the world at large.
In other words are you to
write what you think your
chums will be doing 20 years
hence OF what inventions will be
perfected, what countries will be
under new governments or
what?
Our answer is EITHER. We
think both would be interesting.
You might make a very amusing
little story about your own little
group. Especially if they are
club members and their names
familiar to readers of this
column. The other angle is one
that is always entertaining. All
of us have tried to imagine just
what the world in general will
be like in the future. And the
world is changing so rapidly
that almost any conjecture
might be the right one.
Just ask your mothers and
fathers how many changes have
taken place in the PAST 20
years. You'd be surprised. Air
planes then were something to
run out of the house and gaze
at. Radios were just being in
troduced as common household
equipment. Oh we could think
of any number of wonderful
things that have happened in
the past 20 years.
But the past 20 years isn't
the period in which we are in
terested at present. 1t is the
NEXT that has us wondering.
And we are going to be
awfully amused to read what
YOU think is going to happen.
Get busy. The show is March
10 and we want your stories by
March /.

Mr.. Ryan's Debt GroaVs

ADD three more deaths to the debt oseph
AP. Ryan, president of the International
Longshoremen's Association owes the
working class. Three longshoremen were
killed by Ryan's tactics of putting one
group of workers against another. And
add one more heroic worker to the list of
Ryan's victims, a worker victimized by Ryan's pol
icy Of betrayal and desertion
Three Negro longshoremen, members Of the "in-
dependent" company union were killed, several
wounded and c. o. Reeves an LILA member,
Is wounded and held for murder in Houston in
the latest outbreak on July Is, in the strike that
Joseph P Ryan Settled" two months ago. Another
worker was killed the day after Ryan Settled"
the strike. Ryan is responsible for these deaths,
and for the so-called "scabbing," which caused
them
The Texas ports struck May 1. Ryan immedi-
ately went to Texas and settled the strike. His
settlement abandoned three coastwise piers in ex-
change for control Of the deepwater docks. The
struggle for union control Of these docks didn't
STOP but it was weakened by the withdrawal OF all
the major forces from the fight Ryan's policy
of settling strikes piecemeal made it possible for
the shipowners to get help for these few docks.
It made it possible to intinlidate number Of
workers into joining the independent" company
unions
The three men killed were hired by scab bosses.
They we're driven to scabbery by hunger and
threats and the fact that they had been aban-
doned by Ryan in the fight. Ryan helped the
shipowners make scabs by his tactics Of business
unionisn" and narrowing down the strike.
While unions depend on mass organization, they
keep fighting When strike narrows down to just
a few men, the mass force is lost, and men lose
heart. In Houston and Galveston many lost heart,
and returned to work
The solid ranks of the Texas port longshoremen
would have strengthened the West Coast strike,
and the strikes in Mobile and New Orleans BY
narrowing down the strike struggles, splitting
the Texas ports into two groups Ryan lost these
coastwise docks. defeated the strikes in Mobile
and New Orleans, weakened the strike the
West Coast, and caused these four deaths.
The rank and file of the International Long
shoremens Association must organize its forces into
the rank and file opposition to remove power from
the hands of this business man" president, and
put 1t in the hands Of the workers on the job
to fight with all their strength against the ship
owners, on as large field as possible The greater
the struggle, the better chance labor has OF win
ming.
Make these deaths lesson in rank and file
control of unions lesson in the mass strength of
the working class lesson in unity Of Negro and
white workers against the betraying leadership!

Soviet Press Bares Anglo French Maneuuers

Germany, which openly put the
question of new redivision of
Europe and the world. This posi-
ton in definite circles of Britain
was shaped under the impression
and hopes that they would succeed
in direct aggression with Germany
and Japan against the U. S. S. r.,
and other smaller countries.
French Policy Toward U.S.S.R.
This was the predestined position
of France, whose ruling circles
timely appraised the Importance of
such a powerful factor for peace as
is the U. S. S. R. France adopted
a policy of rapprochement toward
the U.S.S.R. She supported Lit
vinoff's proposal for the conclusion
of regional security pacts, and is
making the greatest effort to realize
an Eastern European security pact.
During the past month, since the
Geneva negotiations project for Sc
curity pacts, especially the project
for an Eastern European Pact, has
assumed concrete outlines. This
was promoted by a further rap
prochement with the U. S. s. R. by
France, the restoration of diplo-
matte relations with the U. S. S. R..
of Czechoslovakia and Rumania.
The idea of security pacts met with
the support of the widest masses OF
the entire world, especially in
Britain.
More sober sections of the Brit
ish bourgeois press arrived at the
conclusion that even should anti
Soviet schemes be put to action,
they would end in the catastrophe
of those who inspired them.
But apparently, of all the recent
events, two had the greatest influ-
ence in the position of England.
This is, firstly, the firm decision of
France of non-retreat, adopted in
the course of rapprochement with
the U. S. S. R.; secondly, the events
of June 80 In Germany.

Motivated By Bloody
Events in Germany,
Soviet Strength

'The policy of the regional pacts
differs in principle and policy from
alliances. The alliance constitutes
an agreement on certain sides
against others, while the regional
pacts must secure peace in a given
section, regardless of any definite
side. The only other side there will
be is the enemy side, which breaks
the pact. Each signatory enjoys, as
we'll as other signatories, the sup
port of the other signatories in case
of aggression. Each signatory un-
dertakes the risk of being isolated,
should he resort to aggression. Such
pact is based on the equality of
all signatories. Each OF them un-
dertakes not to resort to aggression;
each of them equally undertakes the
same obligations.
ut would certainly be the great
est mistake to think that peace is
already secured. So far we have
only certain moves toward peace.
The cause for the consolidation of
peace demands a still greater strug-
gle. The tendencies for the future
war are a tremendous force, and
the slightest victory on the road to-
ward the consolidation of peace
must not minimize the vigilance of
the masses. On the contrary, it
must increase the efforts, and re-
move the dangers menacing hui
mainly.
"The assertion that the U. S. S. R.
is struggling for peace in Europe in
order to have a free hand in the
war in the East, is mere SANDER
We wish peace in the East none the
less than Europe and will struggle
for 1t none the less stubbornly."

Weekly Suppressed for
Exposing Govt
BY Burck

MONTREAL, Canada, July 49,
La Vie Ouvriere, militant working
class weekly, has been suppressed
by the government under the in
famous Article 98, which defines
"seditious libel" for having re-
vealed scandalous wage conditions
and criticizing the governments

workers.
The Canadian Labor Defense
League is organizing a tremendous
campaign against this attack on
the, workers press and suppression

the campaign to free Tim Buck
and Evan, last two Of the Kingston
Seven still hald in Kingston Pen
itentiary.
The League is appealing to Amer
lean workers and their organiza-
tons to send protests to the Can
adian government protesting the
suppression of La Vie Ouvriere, and
to the Quebec authorities protest

tatives Of American workers organ

service will not be hampered and is
urging the electrical workers and
compositors to join them.
Special highway patrols have been
set up by the various witty govern
ments to escort scab trucks into the
Frisco area, but the iron ring of
teamster pickets has kept all trucks
from moving.
Open threats have been made by
the municipal street car authorities
to put armed guards on the cars
and run them.
But the street car strike has al
ready spread beyond San Francisco.
In Oakland and Alameda the car
men have voted to strike. This
will cripple the Key Ferry system
which operates across the bay to
Oakland. Vice-chairman of the
strike committee, Deal, head of the
Ferry boatmen's union, has sabo-
tagged the move to get out the
Southern Pacific men.
1t was reported this afternoon
that an attempt on the part of the
city to get 500 additional policemen
for strike duty failed as most of the
men on the civil service list re-
fused to take the jobs.
There are also indefinite reports
that Roosevelt vii rushed to the
sen.
General Johnson, who is now in
Portland attempting break up the
general strike movement in that
city, is also due here.
At yesterdays meeting of the
strike committee Harry Bridges ex-
posed the fact that the Industrial
Association is making attempts to
move trucks with armed protection
to provoke street battles and thus
lay the basis for martial law.

Bridges announced that the long,

Leading circles in Great Britain
had an opportunity to gauge how
far they can go with their policy
and what consequences may be the
result of such a policy for the Brit
ish bourgeoisie itself in the present
situation.
"The international situation is
being shaped unfavorably for the
realization of anti-Soviet schemes,
entertained by some in London.
This also indicated the necessity of
bringing in a foreign political course
in accordance with definitely shaped
situation. Besides everything else,
British imperialism apparently re-
allies its own weaknesses better
than others. Therein lies the chief
reasons for the changes in the Brit
ish foreign policy.
Thus, one result of the London
negotiations, is definite strength
ening of the elements contributing
toward the maintenance of peace.
Another result of the London nego-
tiations is the tremendous success
of the peace policy of the U. S. S. R.
and the colossal growth of her i'm
portance in the international policy.
The third result of the London
negotiations is the great success of
the idea of non-aggression pacts

A meeting of the large strike COM
mittee, composed of five represen-
tativeS from each union, was taking
place this afternoon as this wire
was sent to the Daily Worker.
The Communist Party is laying
the chief emphasis on tn eelection
Of five representatives from each
local union to represent the strikers.
Members of the strike committee
wre heretofore appointed.
Many huge open and closed
meetings were held yesterday under
the auspices of the Communist
Party to take up the questions OF
the strike. A meeting of over 1000
at Washington Park was broken UP
and four were arrested. The entire
city is covered with Communist ap-
peals for the general strike.
A store in the Mission District
which was charging high prices was
wrecked by a crowd Of neighbors
yesterday.
Attacks against the Communist
Party, inspired by local capitalists,
are taking place throughout the
strike zone. The Party headquar-
tiers in the Hayward agricultural
district outside of Oakland was
smashed up by thugs who called
themselves vigilantes. Another gang
OF thugs smashed the window of the
Western Worker Office.
Chief of Police Quinn has issued
a blanket order that there shall be
no outdoor meetings in Frisco dur
ing the course of the strike.

that they will not grant the strikers
/, Just demands for union control Of

/ and increased wages.
j In an attempt to smash the strike
/, police fired on strike pickets in San
VI Francisco, killing two. Following
RI this armed attack on the strikers
q and the calling Of state troops the
unions took up the question of a
general strike.
All forces of reaction, including
the Presidents mediation board and
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor
worked hard to sidetrack the gem
eral strike movement. But the rank
and file won. They forced the issue
over the heads Of the corrupt lead
erS OF their unions. So, today the
general Striks is complete in Frisco
and will no doubt spread to other
points along the entire coast.
Joining in the general strike
movement were the vineyard work
ers of the Arvin Vineyards. Other
agricultural workers are expected to
strike momentarily.
Only 10 restaurants are allowed
by the strike committee to operate
in San Francisco. The strike COM
mittee is confronted with the task
OF taking over the control of the
food supply.
The only unions known to vote
against the general strike is the
con1positors and electrical workers.
Howard, head of the typo union.
came to Frisco and personally
threatened the workers with dire
consequences if thy join the gen.
eral walkout. Braigetts, reactionary
leader of the Electrical Workers
Union, pleaded with the union mem
brs not to strike, telling them that
the fire houses and hospitals would
suffer by their action.
The strike committee, however,
