CHILEAN REVOLT

But the greatest interest
was reserved for the lessons
of the naval revolt of Chile
and the mutiny of the British
home feet at Invergordon,
both OF which had taken place
during September. 1881.
George Mink reported on the
events in Chile. while Cole,
a delegate from Liverpool,
spoke on The Spirit of In
vergordon."
The mutiny of the British
feet at Invergordon was a
political event of the first
magnitude. It had rocked
not only the British Empire,
but also the faith of millions
of non-Britishers in the inn
munity of Albion's battleships
to the bacillus of rebellion.
The mutiny began on the
night of September II, after
Sir Austen Chamberlain had
announced in the House Of
Commons that a reduction in
pay had been decided upon
for all lower ratings in the
navy. That night the sailors
gathered thickly in the shore
side canteens-and the agita-
tors went to work.
Able Seaman Bond, OF
II. M. S. Rodney - which
ranked among the most
powerful units Of the Home
Fleet-jumped atop a table
and called on the sailors to
answer the governments de-
cision with a strike. The
next speaker was Len Vim
colt, the organizer among the
ringleaders.
Ship delegates were elected
to carry the strike call to all
the vessels of the fleet. A
day later ship committees
were elected. On Monday.
September Ia, a meeting of
crews delegates fixed the be-
ginning of the strike for 6
o'clock Tuesday morning.
A glass was thrown at
naval officer who attempted
to dissolve the meeting. The
sailors returned to their ships,
some singing the Red Flag"
a Com munist battlesong.

UNCOvERs CORRUPTION

The discrepancy between
the alegedly rising circula-
ton of the paper and the
dismal stagnation Of OF her
party activities had given rise
10 suspicion in the heads of
responsible Comintern func-
tionaries. After a most bitter
investigation, this is what l
found:
The circulation Of the Daily
Worker was not 20O, 900, but a
bare 10000. The editorial bust
ness personnel had not been
increased. Where did the
Comintern money go? A small
part of il had been used TO
buy advertisements! Business
men were paid by. the Daily
Worker 10 use its space with
the design of demonstrating
the papers growing influence
to Moscow.
The rest of the money went
in the form of salaries and
expenses" TO a small clique
of central committee men,
bers. Expenses" included
fairly luxurious apartments,
vacation trips to the South
Shore, and fur coats and auto
mobiles for the wives Of
prominent British Stalinists.
The British comrades tried
hard TO explain the facts away
by talking for hours about the
vicissitudes TO which the Daily
Worker had been subjected
by the British authorities. The
Daily Worker had been banned
from the official newspaper
trains.
In 1881, the chief. printer
had been sent to Jail for nine
months. Frank Paterson, one
Of the ostensible owners Of the
paper, had been condemned 10
two years of hard labor. One
Of the editors, Comrade ALI
son, had gone 10 prison for
three years. Another. Com
rade Shepherd, had been SEN
fenced TO 20 months of hard
labor in connection with the
Invergordon mutiny Of the
British fleet. And so on.

After 10 years of existence. it

what II the reason for this
stagnati0n?" I asked myself.
The chief reason was per-
haps the mental attitude of
the British worker. Another
reason was to be found in the
ineptitude and arrogance of
the party leadership. and its
corrupt point of view that
revolution was a good bust
ness, provided revolution did
not come. And the third fac
tor was the proficiency OF
British trade union leaders
and of Scotland Yard in the
art of sterilizing in the gentlest
manner any Communist at
tempt at an offensive.
GOES TO WORK
I decided 10 attend to the
o London Daily Worker first.
The editorial and business
offices of this central party
organ were under Scotland
Yard supervision from 8
o'clock each morning to
punctually 6 at night. Two
detectives were always on
duty.

other side of the street, loung-
ing in doorways. pretending

actually sizing up every per-
son that entered or left the
building. Our checkup had to
be done at night, without a
forewarning to those con-
cerned.
Joe keenan, and Pat Murphy
rounded up the staff in their
homes. Our session lasted I'M
Ill 7 next morning. This was
repeated twice more in the
course Of a week. The bevy of
well-groomed Britishers-not
a worker among them-was
furious about my "GPU
methods of investigation and
cross-examination.
But they exercised prudent
restraint, fearful for their
jobs. Our conferences were
stormy, nerve-wracking af-
fairs. But that Is the JOY OF
overhauling an organization
financed fully by Moscow;
the man from Moscow" can
slash away at will, become
sarcastic, go berserk, and in
suit the Moscow-paid pawns
10 their hearts content-and
not one of them will stand up
for fear of being mentioned
in a confidential report"
The Daily Worker had been
launched in 1890 with an
initial subsidy of S45. 900, sup
piled by the Soviet govern
ment via the Comintern with
the understanding that each
issue should comprise a mini
mum of 100000 copies. In adj
dition TO the initial subsidy,
$500 had been sent each
month by the western sec
retariat TO pay for the wages
of the Daily Worker staff.
In April. 1881, the British
Central Committee had re-
ported TO Berlin and Moscow
that the circulation of the
Daily Worker had been raised
to over 100000, and had re-
quested a monthly budget OF
$4,000 to pay for the greatly
increased number of comrades
employed by the party press
department.

Eighth New House Started Wednesday
May Be Forerunner OF Building Boom

With excavation started Wednes-
day morning for another new house,
making a total of eight new houses
this building season, and with sew
eral others anticipating starting con-

residential building boom appeared
favorable this week
Mrs. Moses Steiner, of South Jack

a new brick veneer structure, to be
located on one of her lots on kibler
street between the William Reagan
and I. G. Schultz residences.
This is the first house to be start
ed during the month of September
and runs to eight the total number
of residences in various stages of
construction. The following houses
have been completed: Rev. Eli Stein

Jackson and South Main streets; r.
A. Dunifon on Garau street.
Interior work has been started on
the Ulysses Reichenbach house on
Cherry street and the Orden Smuck

house of Miss Ocie Anderson OF
South Main street. Lester Hahn has
completed foundation work for his
house on Elm street.
New lots have been purchased by
DR.. B. w. Travis on Kibler street

WOMEN WORKING
In FIELDS THRU
CORN HARVESTING
Drive Tractors from Morning
Until Night, When Farm
Hands Leave
Schools Here Excuse Farm
Boys from Classes to Help at
Home in Harvest

With extra farm help impossible
to obtain, farmers wives and child
rem are being successfully modified
this week in the harvesting of one
of the largest corn crops ever grown
here.
Pinch of the farm labor shortage
apparent since early summer now
being felt in an increasing degree,
farm women are manning tractor
powered corn pickers and binders
from early morning until dusk. Some
outfits are equipped with lights to
continue work at night.
Cooperating to alleviate the labor
shortage, farm youths attending
Bluffton high school are being ex-
cused from classes to help in the
fields on the request of their par
ents, it was stated by the office of
Supt. A. j. B. Longsdorf, Tuesday,
The practice of excusing pupils to
assist in the corn harvest will con-
tinue for duration of the harvest
season, it was indicated.
College Students Aid
Bluffton college students with
farm experience are finding ready
market for their talents in corn
fields of the district, where a mum.
Der have been employed for the past
week.
Because of the shortage of mar
power due to demands of the army
and defense industries, every piece
of corn harvesting machinery is be-
ing pressed into service and those
doing custom work report long wait
ing lists.
Dearth of extra harvest hands
usually available, has found farm
machinery dealers beseiged this fal
with orders for corn harvesting ma
chinery which they are unable tt
fill. As a result of defense demand
for material, local dealers statet
several weeks ago that when presen
stocks on their floors are exhausted
no more will be available.
