COOLIDGE GIVES BANKS FIRST AID; FARMER NOTHING Wheat Belt Banks Fail- ing Right and Left (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON. — The Coolidge administration is speeding up _ its belt. The plans are being acceler- ated because of the faflure of the big Guaranty Trust company of Kan- sas City which has just been taken over by the state finance commis- sioner because of a shortage of work- ing capital resulting from a surplus of farm loans. As a first step a syndicate of me- tropolitan bankers of the middle west will be formed by the government to underwrite loans in order to re- lieve the credit situation. Nothing for Farmers.

He probably does not know either the pain, the phys- ical injury, the nervous shock, the mental effects, nor the effects upon the other children in the family.” Injury to the heart is sometimes permanent from the brutal punish- veont= whieh narents inflict, contin- ues the leaflet, Worst of all is wov@sness engendered in the child, who takes it out on his fellows or the household pets.

The St. Paul conference was con- demned by the handful of right wing delegates present because the Fed- erated Farmer-Labor Party had been invited. At the regular session the resolu- tion was defeated and tabled after a fight by William Mahoney, editor of the Minnesota Union Advocate, of St, Paul, and J. A. H. Hopkins, chairman of the Committee of 48. The Washington Unity Conference turned out to be a small and unrep- resentative affair, Delegates from Workmen’s Circle, No, 506, Wash- ington, were barred as “communis- tic” tho the Workmen’s Circle branch of Baltimore was represented thru’ a Socialist delegate. A clergyman from Annapolis helped to swell the attendance to the sum total of eight. Exclusion of the Washington Workmen’s Circle was purely arbi- trary and no report was made to the convention by the credentials committee. The right wing of the meet was Charles Mahoney of Washington, D. C., a decided contrast to his more progressive namesake of St. Paul.
