COOLIDGE FOR
$350,000,000
. PROPERTY GRAD
Thinks It All Right to
Take German Belongings
WASHINGTON, Feb. IB.—For eight
traglo years the allied and associated
military powers hare sought to crush,
Bolshevism and to overthrow the Sov
iet government of Russia on the
ground that the sanctity of private
property was the very foundation of
civilisation.
Confiscation by the Soviet regime
of private foreign investments in Rus
sia was a crime that justified, in .the
opinion of the governments in Wash
ington, London, Paris, Brussels and
Rome, any measures which might be
devised to punish the offense.
War, blockade. Intrigue, withhold
ing of recognition—all were tried In
turn. In the hope that the world might
be made safe for private capital re
gardless of national boundaries.
Against this background of capital
ist ethics there was flashed, on Feb.
10, the authoritative announcement
from the White House that President
Coolldge does not believe that the
$860,000,000 worth of private proper
ty of German citizens, seised during
the war and now held by the lien
property custodian, can be returned
to Its owners until some distant date
when Germany shall have paid Amer
ican private claims amounting to
$800,000,000.
True, these American private
claims are covered by the recent
Paris agreement; they are to be paid
from the reparations fund, over a long
period of years, to the federal treas
ury. But the other creditors of Ger
many have not restored private Ger
man property which they seized, and
they object to the United States hold
ing to Its pledge to keep sacred the
right of private property. They sug
gest that American must forget her,
Idea of property rights for the indi
vidual. and consider the advantage of
holding what she has grabbed.
Secretary Mellon is known to be
backing Coolldge, in refusing to agree
to return the seized property until
Germany has paid. The supreme
court has held that depriving an in
dividual of the use or benefit of his
property is confiscation. That is the
status of this alien property. The ad
ministration confiscates It while
bldndly announcing that it Is forcing
Germany to maintain the sanctity of
private property by repaying these
citizens.
Independent Barbers
In New York Rejoin the
A. F. of L. International
NBW YORK, Feb. 15—Fifteen hun
dred new members join the Journey
men Barbers’ International Union as
the Independent Journeymen Barbers’
Union of Brooklyn and Long Island
merges with the A. F. of L. move
ment. The new members will belong
to a newly chartered local, No. 913.
The independent union grew out of
the big barbers’ strikes of 1913 and
1916, which broke the back of the
day and night working schedules of
former years. Last summer another
strike was won and agreement signed
but the independent union found its
treasury spent and applied for admis
sion to the A. F. of L. to gain the sup
port of the united movement.
On the Manhattan side the imme
diate issue is the winning of the
beauty parlor workers. It is estim
ated that there are now about 2,000
of these specialists in feminine charm,
few of them members of any organ
ization, and nearly all working long
hours for low wages that barely give,
them strength for their daily task of
dolling up the women of the leisure
class. The joint board of New York,
following the lifting of the ban on
women barbers by the last convention
of the union, has authorized an organ
ization campaign that will take the
form of a series of mass meetings to
show the beauty parlor workers the
advantage of union conditions. The
situation that created an Independent
beauty parlor workers' union several
months ago, has been changed by the
convention's decision, said Merltno,
and he declared that the international
union could give a backing t othe
campaign in this field that the prev
ious movement did not have.
At Albany the barbers’ union is
fighting a bill sponsored by the na
tional hair dresser's association, a
bosses' organization, that would pre
vent regular barber shops from doing
beauty parlor work.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE LIKES JOB
OUTLOOK FOR CLEVELAND LABOR
CLEVELAND, Feb. IS.—ls you are writing publicity for the Cleveland
chamber of commerce In this city, you will be distinctly optimistic concern
ing the employment outlook. On the other hand, if you are stationed In the
offices of the city-state employment bureau, your report will be quite to the
contrary.
While the chamber was declaring in its monthly review that jobs were
Increasing steadily and that there would be "a return to normalcy by sum
mer," the city’s employment bureau reported the highest figures of jobless
in four years. There were 18,000 applicants for 6.000 jobs. Average hours
as reported by employers were 48.9 a week, with averag wage for unskilled
labor of 44 cents an hour. Steel and automobiles show a slight increase in
the number employed.

of the workers and at last labor won
control only to have their hopes
crushed to earth. Not one of those
elected knew anything at all about
administering the affairs of a city;
only the mayor appeared to have even
a semblance of an idea of the duties
of office.
There was much wrangling and de
bate over minor matters while import
ant questions, such as franchises,
were summarily dealt with and liter
ally given away.
jjanding out of appointments, the
division of the spoils of office, result
ed in some who were practically il
literate being placed in responsible
positions. At least one was placed in
a lunatic asylum soon after appoint
ment.
At the following election the labor
candidates were snowed under with
the exception of the mayor. His at
tempt to run for a third term found
even his friends opposed to him hav
ing the job permanently.
Clinton’s first experiment with a
union labor city administration ended
in a debauch that made the workers
blush for shame and lose faith in la
bor candidates.
The only thing credited to the labor
administration is that they paved
more streets, and employed more la
bor in times of depression, than any
former administration.
Manufacturers Wanted Munlolpal
Ownership.
The question of municipal owner
ship of the water works has been
twice up before the voters in Clinton.
The last time the manufacturers and
bankers put up a big campaign but
it was defeated 5 to 1.
With control of the city adminis
tration the factory owners could get
their water supply at nominal cost
and shift the burden of maintenance
onto the city, thereby spreading their
large volume of consumption over the
entire population. Under private own
ership of the water plant they have
to pay for what is delivered. The
voters seemed to understand this and
voted accordingly.
Building Crafts Have Loat Heavily.
During the past two years there has
been almost a steady decline in mem
bership of the building crafts in Clin
ton. It is estimated that they have
lost forty per cent and there are no
indications of a revival, rather the re
verse.
There is no semblance of co-op
eration between the building crafts
and as far as modern building con
struction is concerned, they still act
like the guilds of old, every craft do
ing its job and attending to its own
little affairs as tho the contractor, the
profit system, social labor and the
class struggle did not exist.
There is also a Boot and Shoe
Workers’ Uniofi which is bought by
the factory owner, on the 100 per cent
plan, from the international union.
The badge of their serfdom, known by
the euphenomius title of the "union
label’’ is sold along with the workers
just as the serf went along with the
land when sold under feudalism.
These boot and shoe workers have
conditions just a little less irksome
than the non-union factory. This is
done to pad their collar of serfdom
and fool them into the belief that they
are the chosen of the masses.

on the railroads. Locally they had
very able leaders who succeeded In
salvaging something from the wreck.

tribute to their health, vegetarians,
notwithstanding. But perhaps they
should not have eaten bread, fish or
potatoes either. The air was good, 1
will admit, but the inhabitants never
learned to live exclusively on it.
• * *
IRELAND is divided into parishes
by the catholic church, which is
the strongest government in the coun
try. The parish in which I was born
had a population of three thousand
“souls.” Every year, during Easter,
the archbishop of the archdiocese
sent a pastoral letter to be read at
all masses at the beginning of the
"holy season of Lent.” This was the
time of the year during which the
sinners were supposed to do pen
ance for their sins. And a more sea
soned set of sinners it was hard to
find. They were hardboiled, and pas
toral letters had no more effect on
their consciences than a plea for mer
cy has on a professional highwayman.
Their sins were few because sinning
was rather hazardous and difficult be
cause of lack of opportunity. So
when the priest read the bishop’s
letter suggesting fasting and extra
praying, they immediately began
thinking of plans to circumvent the
spiritual proscription, while at the
same time remaining technically with
in the law.
* * *
THE bishop was not accustomed to
the native menu, so when his local
agent read, "fish and flesh not allow
ed at the same meal” a titter went
thru the little chapel. "We are darned
lucky to get either one or the other”
was the comment, in fluent Gaelic,
that did not hesitate to invoke the
name of satan, the saints or the meek
and lowly Nazarene inside the sacred
precincts of the church. The priest
was their political leader except when
he made a false move. Then he was
likely to be given the same treatment
meted out to the landlords. Just so
long as the church played the role
of a benevolent Tammany Hall, every
thing went smoothly. The peasants
did not concern themselves with reli
gion as such. The use of Jesus ex
cept as a peg to hang an oath on was
considered an indication of spiritual
debasement. Only protestants talked
of Jesus outside of the church.
» * *
THE people managed to exist on
potatoes, bread, fish and tea when
ever excessive rain did not destroy
the potato crop or inclement weather
make it impossible to catch fish. This
year the excessive rain fall destroyed
the potato crop and the British steam
trawlers ruined the fishing industry
on the west coast. Meanwhile the
Free State government Is preparing
to glut the gallows with the broken
necks of those who are opposed to its
exactions. And it is a catholic gov
ernment!
come apathetic or cynical towards
the union and the efforts of the local
leaders to protect conditions won at
great sacrifice.
At the present time there is strong
talk of putting the infamous B. & O.
plan into effect on the Northwestern
railroad. Those who are in a posi
tion to know, predict that it will be
adopted within a short time. The
shop crafts at Clinton are still fairly
well organized numerically but the
old spirit has apparently died.
Muddlers and Mlddlers.
In all the small towns thruout lowa,
little sects from time to time qssume
importance. Here in Clinton we have
the bible students who have grown
from a baker's dozen to a few hun
dred during the past few years. This
hodge-podge of a little history and
science liberally diluted with the su
perstition of religion, has apparent
ly appealed to the workers in their
search for something to fill their emp
ty lives.
The kluxers were also strong in
Clinton,.but now the novelty has worn
off and they are no longer a factor.
Then there is another sect of bible
students who teach from Karl Marx
known as the S. L. P. There are about
a dozen of them, but their side show
simply amuses the workers.
Into this confusion the Workers
Party sends the messuge of the
world’s proletariat when J. E. Sny
der, district organizer, and Comrade
David Coutts speak on the vitul prob
lems before the workers today.
The meeting will be held at Labor
Temple, 613 Second street, Clinton,
lowa, on Wednesday, Feb. 18. The
DAILY WORKER will be sold for the
first time In Clinton and an effort
made to organize a local unit of the
party.
THE DAILY WORKER
ABRAMOVITCH IS
FLAYED AT BIG
BOSTON MEETING
Role of International Spy
Exposed
By LYDIA GIBSON.
(Special to The Daily Worker)
BOSTON, Feb. 15.---Seven hundred
workers met at Lorimer Hall in Bos
ton, on February 11, under the auspic
es of the Workers (gojnmunist) Par
ty, to hear Robert and Mois
saye J. Olgin tell the tr,uth about Ra
fael Abramovitch, counter-revolu
tionary “socialist” recently imported
from abroad for an. ’anti-Bolshevik
propaganda tour. 4
Simultaneously Abramovitch was
speaking further do\ta the street to
an audience which ka mrade Minor
characterized in his ( speech as con
sisting of "fifty polic&mfen, some czar
,st refugees, the wif£ of a wage-cut
ting mill owner, and 1 one baby who
had gone to sleep.” 1 '
When John J. Bali a hi. district or
ganizer of district i, tis chairman,
opened the meeting and introduced
the first speaker, thebe l was wild ap
plause, which was repeated • many
times thruout one of the most en
thusiastic meetings ever held In Bos
ton. ~ i
Shows Capitalist Development.
Minor pointed out the replacement
of the old "simple” form or capitalism
by modern finance capitalist imperial
ism, and with it the driving or the
class war into the international
arena. The class struggle was now
consciously on a world scale. He
showed that Abramovitch and the
yellow socialists are scabs on the
greatest strike in history, the Russian
revolution which, as the beginning
of the world revolution, has been un
sucessfullv attacked by the imperial
ist armies of the world.
Quests of U. S. A.
Minor pointed out that the United
States government which welcomes
grand dukes and duchesses, ex-baron
esses and princes, arid which perse
cutes revolutionists, also “laid down
the doormat” and welcomed “Com
rade” Abramovitch; "comrade of Abe
Cahan, comrade of Hfllquit, comrade
of Ebert and Noske, cdmrade of Berg
er.”
“And now I may srit-prise you by
saying that Abramovitch is also a po
litical comrade of Mr. Alexander
Berkman and of Miss Emma Gold
man. and a comrade of the late Mr.
Gompers,” said Minor,*
“For in a historical sense, in every
thing but a sense, ail of
these antt-Bolsheviks are blood-broth
ers in the Second International.”
With powerful ironjt, Minor built
up his denunciation of the whole in
ternational gang of social democrats,
who are forces of couhter revolution
in the imperialist phase of capitalism.
He quoted Lenin: "The Second Inter
ntaional is dead. But,” he said, “in
nature there is no destruction of mat
ter. The Second International is dead
as one form, but full of life of another
form. It is a huge corpse alive with
loathesome worms. One of these
worms is named Abramovitch!” So
scathing was his satirq.,that it pro
voked a great burst qt laughter and
applause. r»
Why Abramovitch?
Minor said Abramovitch had been
chosen for his counter-revolutionary
mission because he was a Jew, and
the imperialist governments knew
and dreaded the heroic role of the
Jewish workers in the working class
revolutionary movement. They want
ed to confuse the Jewish workers and
make them indifferent to the new
drive against Soviet Russia for which
grand duchesses, baronesses, and a
whole crew of refugees have been
seeking help in America. After ex
plaining the class nature of parties,
and, the function of the great working
class Communist PartJl, Comrade Mi
nor closed with a challenge for a Sov
iet republic of America,
Olgin Arouses Enthusiasm.
Comrade Moissaye J-,. Olgin arrived
during Minor’s speech, and was warm
ly welcomed with applause. Olgin
spoke first in Yiddish, and then in
Russian, languages whjch the writer
unfortunately does not understand.
He spoke with much, fire, and his
great gift for satire delighted the au
dience, and brought Aiim much ap
plause. He pointed that Abram
ovitch and company arq doing the dir
tiest work for the very forces that
used to oppress them,,)
Comrade Olgin followed by
Comrade Alice Biels pf the Young
Workers’ League, whp gave a brief
report of tho Abramoyitch meeting,
from which she had Just come. Abram
ovitch’s speech appeared to have
been mude up of tho usual contused
and lying polemics, Invented express
ly to confuse and disunite the work
ers. May they turn a deaf ear to
him!
Fight on Radio Pirates
LONDON, Feb. 15.- -Radio “pirates”
who have dodged payment of the gov
ernment license fee for listening in
will be hQrd hit If the bill proposed
by the Baldwin government is enacted.
It would give the police power to
search homes for those who are “steal
ing” entertainment and would provide
a year’s Imprisonment or SSOO fine.
FIGHT OR SURRENDER?
"Fellow workers! Comrades! Men and women and youth! Shall we sur
render, like sheep to the butcher? Shall we permit the capitalists, the In
satiable multi-millionaires, further to rob and exploit us? To steal the bread
from our tables, the clothes from our back and to imprison our trusted
and fearless leaders? *
"Never! We have power in our numbers Let us unite then! Let us give
blow for blow! Let us strike! And strike! And strike again! Let us strike
against the men of millions with the united power of millions of men!
“Beware of those who talk defeatl *Who wish you to surrender without
a fight! Trust no.leader who divides the ranks, who takes only one craft
from a shop (or one shop from an industry) and leads one after another to
defeat! Follow those only whose actions and slogans mean UNITY and
STRUGGLE.
"Do not think yourselves helpless! Trust your own strength! Rally your
forces! In your shop, perhaps beside you, are other workers as willing and as
ready as yourself to fight the bosses. To resist the wage cutsl Take the
lead, then. Lead the struggle!
“Resist the wage cuts. In the shop, at the factory gates, on the street
or in mass meetings, call out to your fellows workers for unity and struggle.
“Organize yourselves. Don’t wait for others, or somebody else from some
where else. Organize yourselves. Meet together in your workroom, at the
mill gates, anywhere, and from each craft or department elect your mosti
militant fellow worker to a shop committee."
The above is from the leaflet, “Strike Against Wage Cuts.’’ So far only
a few branches of the party have realized the importance of this leaflet and
have failed to place orders. In the next issue of the DAILY WORKER will
be published the names of secretaries having sent in their orders. See
whether your branch is in the list. Particular attention is solicited from
branches, C. C. C.’s and D. O.’s in the eastern section of the country, where
the situation is more acute. The workers must be told the truth about the
matter. They want .you to tell them. Send all order to the National Office,

nance as a gigantic steal, and call
ing on the workers of Chicago to sup
port the Communist aldermanic can
didates, who have the only true So
lution to the traction problem.
“The Communist candidates for the
coming aldermanic elections who are
endorsed by the Workers Party, pro
pose confiscation of the whole trac
tion system with direct workers’ man
agement,” Swabeck declared. “The
control of the operation to be in the
hands of the workers, of hand and
brain, to be exercised by control com
mittees elected thru the city trans
portation unions. Such control would
easily make possible a reduction in
fares and better service. It would
be operation for service, not profit.”
Sell Out to Bankers.
Swabeck then analyzed the Dever
ordinance, showing that it is in real
ity a plan to turn the traction lines
over to the bankers for a long period
of years, the city paying the expenses.
Swabeck’s statement continues:
“The traction plan recommended to
the city council by the committee on
local transportation is but another
scheme to extend the present fran
chise held by the city bankers and
refinance the present companies also
made up of the bankers. In addition
the bankers will have complete con
trol of the management.
Not Public Ownership.
“It has nothing to do with public
ownership. The whole difference from
the present system is that the hills
become shifted directly to the masses
while the bankers continue to clip the
coupons. Ultimately the workers will
bear the burden in increased car
fares and low wages on the traction
system to provide the dividends on
the bondft.
“The city traction fund of approxi
mately $40,000,000 which is now de
posited in various Chicago banks at
2 per cent interest, will supposedly be
invested to help provide dividends for
the present and future bondholders.
The bankers holding these deposits
have formerly, moved by their great
philanthropic urge, offered to again
loan the amount to the city, but at
a rate of interest of six per cent per
annum.”
Mayor Dever is trying to force a
favorable vote on his ordinance in
the city council on Feb. 26, when it
will be before the council. Oppon
ents of the measure are endeavoring
to secure a postponement of the vote:

(3) The Party in the Trade Unions;
(4) Stretegy and Tactics of the Party^
(5) The First and Second Internation

As will be seen, these remaining six
lectures are of first importance and
should excite the interest of every
party member. To gain a thoro un
derstanding of the role of the party
today and in the revolution is the duty
of every comrade. Local secretaries
should make an especial attempt to

Warren was president of the Michi
gan Sugar company until January 24,
1925, after Coolidge had picked him as
attorney general. This company, while
Warren was president, was found
guilty of “participation in an unlawful
conspiracy restrain trade and com

from further conspiracy" by the
United States circuit court in its deci
sion of May 9, 1922.
Warren acted as head of the Michi

Havemeyer interests, and the Amer

sugar trust has long been known as.
one of the worst exploiter of child

Dan Ivasovich Is
Expelled from the
Workers Party
$
Since January, 1922, Dan Ivasovich
of Colinsville, 111., has been a mem
ber of the Workers Party. For some
time, however, he has been making
the mistake of submitting contribu
tions to the South Slavic paper, the
Novy Svijet, a paper which is being
published by a group in opposition to
the Workers Party and which attacks
the South Slavic Federation of the
Workers Party and thereby attacks
the party itself, its policies and its
program.
The district committee called the
attention of Comrade Ivasovich to
this mistake informing him that the
party had definitely decided that no
members could be permitted to give
any support whatever to the paper,
Novy Svijet, or to the group which
publishes this paper.
Comrade Dan Ivasovich was asked
to discontinue this support and to ac
cept »and faithfully carry out party
decisions and party policies. How
ever, Comrade Ivasovich replied that
he did not agree with the presenta
tion made by the D. E. C. and that
he would continue his support of
Novy Svijet because it corresponded
with his views, the D. E. C. therefore
decided that DRn Ivasovich stands ex
pelled from the Workers Party. Arne
