By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS. November 28.-A sweep
ing majority of delegates to the an
nual Mississippi Valley Association
convention late yesterday rejected
plea of the national administration
for ratification of the st. Lawrence
waterway treaty.
The action of the organization,
composed largely of middle western
shippers, followed by few hours a
plea by Secretary Of War Dern for
support of the treaty, which failed OF
ratification in the last Senate.
President Roosevelt has announced
intention of resubmitting the treaty
to the next Congress.
Text of Resolution.
The convention resolution read:
I'VE oppose and will continue to op-
pose the ratification Of the st. Law
renee treaty. which was rejected by
the Senate at the last session of Con-
gress, until its inequalities shall have
been corrected; until the rights OF the
United States shall have been pro-
tected; until the markets for United
have been safeguarded; until COM
mercially useful lakes to the gulf
waterway shall have been made Sc
cure; until provisions be made where
by United States money goes to United
States labor and the United States
sovereignty over Lake Michigan is
preserved"
Complete harmony did not prevail

ton, called on Secretary Dern Ito

1888 report of the Inland Waterways
Corp. with regard to the private oper-
alton of inland waterway craft" The
1888 policy, Lachlan MacLeay, execu
tive vice president of the association,
explained, subordinated the develop
ment of private carriers to Federal
barge lines.
Other resolutions declared for:
Unobstructed transportation facili-
ties, and an unobstructed opportunity
for each to develop all of the econ
on1ies of which it is capable.
Ample steamship lines, including a
goodly number of the United States
lines, plying between the Gulf and

In November, 1892, someone shot
into Tim Bucks cell from the out
side of the building in an effort to
kill him.
There followed a wave of mass
indignation which is still growing,
and the Canadian Labor Defense
League took the lead in mass
effort to compel the Dominion gov
eminent to force an investigation.
For two years the Canadian govern
ment has evaded its moral respon-
sibility and has refused to act
despite the fact that more than
100000 Canadian workers have
signed petitions demanding such an
investigation.
On January 10, of the current
year, the Progressive Arts Club of
Toronto presented a play entitled
Eight Men Speak" which drama
tized the attempted murder of Tim
Buck. A. E, Smith, secretary of the
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-03-28
By PHILIP STERLING

Take it from Leo Gallagher, a
lawyer who has no illusions about
legalism that the Reichstag frame
up trial, the Scottsboro case, the
Imprisonment of the Rueggs, and
the frame-up planned against
Ernst Thaelmann have many fea-
lures in common.
It's no news that capitalist JUS
tice is the same the world over
when it's directed at militant lead
ers and organizers of the working
class, but when you've seen it twice
in one year the way Leo Gallagher
has, you don't forget it.
Gallagher, who was expelled from
Germany, where he came to aid
in the defense of Torgler, Dimi-
troff, Popoff and Taneff, was more
recently involved in defending a
working-c lass leader against SINH
lar frame-up much closer to home.
Upon Gallagher rested largely the
political responsibility for the court
room defense of A. E. Smith, general
secretary of the Canadian Labor De-
Tense League against a charge OF
sedition under the infamous Section
SO of the Canadian code. Section SO
is in every respect like the criminal
syndicalism laws in various states on
this side of the border, only far more
vicious.
Smiths arrest and acquittal, marks
victory in the two-year struggle
of Canadian working class organi-
cations to compel an official inves-
tigation into the attempted murder
of Tim Buck, Canadian Communist
in his prison cell at Kingston; but
Gallagher tempers his enthusiasm
over the victory he helped win by
serious, emphatic comments on the
need for mass pressure every time a
class war prisoner enters court
room anywhere in the world.
The background of A. E. Smiths
arrest is found in the suppression of
the Communist Party of Canada by
the Canadian Government several
years ago.
Following this Fascist measure,
Tim Buck and seven other Commu-
nists we're sentenced to long Jail
terms and they are now incarcerated
in the prison at Kingston, Canada.

A Lawyer With No Illusions About Legalism

Canadian Labor Defense League
spoke at the performance. The
play was Immediately suppressed
and Smith was arrested under Sec
ton SO.
The trial of Smith, which lasted
from March to March 8, was, &C
cording to Gallagher, as obvious and
as vicious frame-up as anything
that ever happened to the four Com
munists at Leipzig to the Rueggs at
Marking, or to the Scottsboro boys
at Decatur, even though the Toronto
trial was on much more polite and
genteel level.
The entire case of the prosecution
against Smith consisted of three
police officers two Of whom said
that they had taken down Smiths
speech verbatim, each working
without knowledge of the others
presence in the hall. On cross
examination these two admitted,
however, that they had compared
notes Immediately after the meet
ing. Both agreed that Smiths
speech lasted half an hour. In court
an exact transcript of this speech,
$50 words, was read in some three
minutes.
The police testified that Smith
had said he knew that Governor
General Bennett had personally
given orders for Tim Bucks assas-
sination. Smith said no such thing,
it was proved in court. He had
merely made the statement that
"the fear of the Government to
investigate the shooting placed a
moral responsibility for the crime
on the Government"
The defense, with the aid of Gal
lagher, who acted as advisor to
former Solicitor General MacNfur-
ray and Attorney Brown, called
Tim Buck to the stand, but the
court permitted Buck to make only
the following testimony:
IT was shot at" Anything else
Buck might have had to say in the
matter was ruled as being of no
Importance to the case.
The victory of Smiths acuuittal
wasn't an easy one, according to
Gallagher. 1t involved exactly the
same kind Of mass organization and
pressure as was employed in the

W illness Premiere of
Revolutionary Drama
Translated by Leon Dennen.

NEW YORK. 49, Fifteen hundred
people packed the Fifth Ave. The
atre last Saturday night to witness
the premiere Of revolutionary
drama presented by the Workers
Laboratory Theatre. When the
chairman, Michael Gold, announced
at intermission time that delega-
ton of striking taxi drivers headed
by Joseph Gilbert, organizer of the
militant Taxi Drivers Union, would
come upon the stage, an ovation be-
gan which did not cease for several
minutes. Gilbert made a plea for
support in the strike of the drivers,
which was answered by a substan-
tial collection.
Due to the lack of cooperation of
the management of the Fifth Ave.
Theatre with the technical staff of
the WILT, the show was late In
starting, and when at midnight, the
management attempted to extort an
overtime fee. it was announced
from the stage that "Newsboy.o the
final number, would not be put on.
The crowd stood up and shouted.
I'VE want Newsboy'l We want
Newsboy'l" until the management,
realizing its mistake in alternating
the large crowd, executed an about
face and withdrew its demand for
an overtime fee. This occurrence is
only one of many instances of at
tempted extortion and sabotage by
bourgeois theatre owners all over
the country, as the files of the
League of Workers Theatres will
prove, and should be combatted by
mass audience protest wherever
such conditions are found.

Rejects New Masses Ad
on Auto Workers Fight

NEW YORK-Advertising COPY

Press, published in the heart Of the
American automobile industry.
That was the terse announcement
with which the management of the

by the New Masses to announce
publication in the current issue of
the story: 'NR.A.: The Crooked
Referee; Round by Round Story Of

by Maurice Sugar and based on
stenographic records.
The Free Press took no chance Of
having the workers learn through
its columns that the MIRA. through
the Detroit Compliance Board. the
Washington administration and
other bodies, gave the run-sround to
the workers who went on strike in
Detroit, Flint and Pontiac late last
year, as set forth in the New Masses
story.
The Statler Hotel management in
Detroit likewise decided to do what
it could to prevent the story from
being read in the automobile city.
It banned the New Masses from sale
on its news stand
However, the New Masses made
special arrangements to circulate

two-year campaign to force an
investigation of the Buck shooting.
The case, Gallagher thinks, holds
important lessons for workers all
over the world as we'll as for those
in Canada.
To begin with, the Canadian
immigration authorities employed
every pretext they could find to
keep Gallagher from Toronto.
When they finally permitted him
to enter, it was on condition that
he wouldn't take part in the case.
Since there was no provision in
this order against his sitting in the
courtroom and conversing with the
defense attorneys, he was able to
act as advisor.
The denial of foreign counsel to
Smith reminded Gallagher of the
Nazi governments tactics in the
Reichstag trial. Smith thinks that
with Ernst Thaelmann facing a
new frame-up in the Nazi courts,
workers must begin to realize the
importance of fighting for the right
of any political prisoner anywhere
in the world to choose his own
counsel.
When Gallagher was admitted to
Canada, the government made
three conditions: No compensation
no meetings, and agreement not to
advocate forcible overthrow of the
Canadian Government.
AS a result, Gallagher had to
leave Canada and re-enter in order
to speak at two mass meetings
celebrating Smiths acquittal. In
Toronto he spoke to $500 workers
in Massey Hall and to an overflow
meeting of 1000. In Montreal,
where the Dominion Government
repressive hand weighs down with
particular heaviness, there was a
large mass meeting for the first
time in several years, attended by
1000.
Gallagher's comments on the
need for international mass pres
sure in defense of Thaelmann and
the new victims OF Austrian fas-
cism are not mere armchair obser-
vaUions. He is touring the country
now un6er the auspices of the In
ternational Labor Defense.

brought out by events. 1t is possible
to wonder, when he leaves for the
farm strike, what purpose he could
serve in it. He leaves the stage as
he enters it, a Bohemian. However.
the fault is not entirely his. The
writing and the authors concept of
the part indicate need for closer
study of workers and, particularly
of working class leaders.
