Says Recall Is SILLY"
Commenting on the Smith re-
call petition being circulated by
the League for Law and Order,
C0mstOck terms it silly business
and said he felt the mayor was
doing nothing that merited any
ones disapprOval."
The petition on seven specific
points charges Smith with en-
couraging armed violence by po-
lice and private gunner against
waterfront strikers, has removed
police protection from suburbs
for waterfront strikebreaking
purpose, leaving the suburbs
unprotected and under patrol of
privately hired gunner, has
broken his promise of non-inter-
ference with either side of the
strike, and has made certain
corrupt promises to obtain
his election as mayor"

Bone, Zioncheck,
lingo for Bosses
By Mary Jordan

SEATTLE, Aug. 3-Amid a jim,
gOistic American Legion exhibi,
ton, the cOntradicting attitudes
of Senator Homer Il. Bone and
Congressman Marion Zioncheck
toward war and profits was clear
ly shown at meeting of veterans
in the Eagles Auditorium, July
"a.
Il hate the capitalists and big
shots who are running this gov
eminent of ours, the way the I'M
employed are treated, but | even
hate the unemployed worse for
standing for the treatment they
get" ZiOncheck said. Later he
said, Il know of no hope for the
people and their children if this
democracy should fall-stay close
to your leaders" Zioncheck pro-
fesSes to be leader of the work
ing class, but he clearly showed
his loyalty to the capitalist lead
ers" and his failure to support
workers interests by viciOusly
voting to put weapons into the
hands of the American Legion
shortly before Congress adjourn
ed.
Bone said he wanted to remove
profits from war and decried pro-
fits made in the last war. Then
he told of a bill that would pro-
vide for cOnscripting all property,
factories and railroads in the ev-
ent of another war to keep the
county safe from bankers.
Under our present setup of
government of the capitalists, by
the capitalists and for the CAPT
talists, when war comes it will
again be the working class who
pays and suffers Such a measure
as Bone is pushing would outlaw
strikes and force starvation, pa
triOtic" wages on workers. The
huge profits from the sale of arm
aments to foreign countries
would find their way back to the
same bosses and leave the work
ers on the same starvation dole.
The slavery of workers and lives
of millions of men would be for
the purpose of increasing imper-
ialist power.
Bone also strongly emphasized
leaving the cOuntry's destiny in
the hands of it's law making ma
chinery. He is simply capitalizing
on the war profit subject for sell
fish political motives to prOlong
his position and the position of
the capitalists.

A local attorney, J. o. Davies,
has been retained to work with
Lawrence Settler, LID attorney
from Seattle.
Huff, LebarrOn, Niedfelt and
SetOski were arrested last week
at the time of the vigilante raids
on workers halls and offices all
along the Pacific coast. The
night before their arrest, XXX
hoOdlums placed crudely made
fiery crosses in front of the
homes of three of them, showing
clearly the relation between this
fascist crew and the sherffs of

Foreclosures
They are chareg dwith riot for
their participation in the meet
ing at the courthouse in protest
of the sale of the Aust farm,
when 1000 workers and farmers
gathered to demand that the
sale be stopped. The sale by
public bid was prevented, but
the sheriff threw even capitalist
law aside and accepted a private
bid from the attorney of the
mortgage holder. There was no
violence or disorder, nothing to
base a riot charge on, but the
XXX hOOdlums need some eX-
cuse for their attacks upon the
working class, and had these
four workers arrested.

clear that any Mayor elected to

The District Committee an

explaining that no gains will be
made by the recall, unless the
workers force a new city election

broken by the ALL the seamen
find themselves facing the same
old conditions, the same wages
that they struck against. Sea-
men Tuesday voted on what Or

When workers voted the old
blacklist system became evident.
The name and record of each
seaman was attached to his bal
lot.
Vote Held Up for Months
The vote is to include all scabs
now working the ships. This
means that seamen not in port,
cannot vote for months. Conse-
quently striking seamen who re-
turn to work will be scattered
all over the globe before the
vote is complete.
When seamen from the MWIU
went to the International Sea-
mems Union hall to apply for
work they found that they were
doing only a little of the hiring.
The old halls were doing most
of it in the same old manner. The
ISL then picketed the halls, at
tempting to prevent seamen
from hiring out there.

Board, today was suspended with
out pay until such time as the
board can investigate his case.
This was announced today by
DR.. Gustav Peck, member of the
board who IVES accused by DR..
Silverman of rewriting a report
on the cotton garment code ito
mislead labor"
Gag Rule Cited
The grounds for the suspension
were the recent rulings that no
person but the head of the board
may make a statement to the
press.
Belief that the case might turn
into another row between the NRA
and the union was dispelled when
union officials declared that DR..
Silverman was not O member Of
their organization and that they
know nothing of the facts of the
case.
Code Violation Charged
DR.. Silverman said:
"Our study showed that en-
plOyerS were not complying with
existing code labor provisions
for the cotton garment industry.

port OF the Judiciary Committee on
whether some petitions were priW-

legged for publication, said yesterday
1t had been authorized by the full

These petitions were filed with the
Vice President at the last session and
their receivability were challenged by
Senator Long. A number Of subse-

by the Louisiana Senator.
The petitions, signed by hundreds
