Consumer Must Pay Thrice What Farmer Gets; Coolidge Told By LELAND OLDS, (Federated Press Industrial Editor) Exploitation of farmers at the hands of modern commercialism again comes to light in the attempt of Railroad Financier B, F. Yoakum to educate President Coolidge to an understanding of the farm problem. Yoakum pointed out to the presi- dent that the consumers are today paying $22,500,000,000 a year for food products for which the farmer gets only $7,500,000,000 out of which to pay all the expenses of produc- ing the foods, This leaves nearly $15,000,000,000 for the distributers or approximately twice the amount paid the farmer. Yoakum expressed his conviction that national prosperity will be restored only when the figures are reversed, the farmer Les the $15,000,000,- 000 and the middleman getting the $7,500,000,000. But he is not reported to have call- ed the president’s attention to the fact that the problem can be solved only when distribution is under the joint control of the wage earner con- sumers and the farmer producers, Banker, Grateful to Policeman: Will See That He Is Buried LOS ANGELES, Feb. 24—Glen Bond, slain police officer, will not be buried in’ a pauper’s grave.

Because of the increasing cost of rent, the serious con- gestion and the do-nothing policy of the government in the acute housing crisis that prevails in New York and other indjs- trial centers of the country, the masses, particularly the women of the working class, have begun to organize themselves to put an end to the present dangerous state of affairs. , Tenants’ Associations No sooner had the United States entered the World War than the landlords launched an organized campaign to raise rents. Soon the rentals became so oppressive that the tenants could no longer bear them. : Many rent strikes were organized by the women of the working class in order to stop the landlords from continuing their exorbitant rentals. This discontent took on any organized form in various asso- ciations of tenants in the differ- ent sections of New York. Simi- lar demonstrations were occa- sioned by the rent situation in other cities of the country. Typical of such tenant organiza- tions existing in the big cities are the following societies of Greater New York. The Audubon Com- munity Council, the West Harlem Tenants’ Association, The Washington Heights Tenants’ Association, the Manhattanville Community Council, The Federation of Tenants’ Associa- tion of Greater New York, the Mount Morris Community Council and Civie Organization, The Tremont Tenants’ Civic League, the various Consum- ers’ Leagues, the different Mothers’ Leagues, and the United Council of Working Class Women, Except for the United Council of Working Class Women these organi- zations are in the main controlled by small business men or local assembly district politicians of the Democratic and Republican parties or their agents. It was prior to the ap- ointment of the New York State ‘ousing Committee by the Governor in 1920, that the height of tenants’ organizations was achieved by the working class in New York. Since then the organization amongst the most hard pressed, the poorest ten- ants, has been dwindling to insigni- ficance. The reason for the failure on the part of these tenant organizations to achieve strength is obvious. As soon as the various tenants’ leagucs stopped their vigorous fight against the landlords and against the govern- ment officials who were helping the landlords continue their policy of irule and ruin, the organizations sim- ply died of doing, nothing. They atrophied. Their program was based fundamentally on the continuation ‘of the present system of landlord |domination of the housing facilities of the country, | The United Council of Working Class Women | Recently there was an attempt made by women in the sections of the city occupied by working class ten- ants to revive the tenants’ organiza- tion movement. It was natural for | Leagu the women to assume the initiative in this field since they are the first to suffer the effects of high rents, poor housing and unsanitary living conditions. On October 28th, 1923, at the call of the Consumers’ League of the Bronx, there was held a conference in the Forward Hall. At this con- ference there thered represcnta- tives of the orkmen’s - Tenents’ Leagues, the United: Hebrew Trades, the Socialist Consumers’ League, the Socialist Party, and the “Woman's Committee of the Local Workers Party. This conference constituted itself for further action and arranged to call a larger gathering on Dee. 28, 1923. The December convention was at- tended by 78 delegates. Amongst the delegations represented were the following: Seven local trade unions, the Joint Board of the Socialist Con- sumers’ League, the Workmen’s’ Ten- ants’ Consumers’ League, the Work- ers Party, the Lithuanian Women’s Progressive Alliance, the committee of action of the Mother’s League, the African Blood Brotherhood, and branches of the Socialist Consumers’ ie, The conference elected an execu- tive committee consisting of Kate Gitlow, Rose Barron, Mrs. Bourgin, Mrs. Yeshkevitz, Nevin, Citrin, Mintz, Pastor, Sonia Diamond and Mrs. Touroff. Mrs. Kate Gitlow is the secretary-treasurer, and the |headquarters of the United Council iof Working Class Women—for the ‘protection of working class interests —has its office at 127 University \Place. To date 46 working class bodies have endorsed the rent con- ference and elected a central com- mittee with one representative from such body attending the conference. Preparation are afoot to have an- other conference at an early date. Plans are also being developed to organize a big demonstration of working class women against the present unspeakable housing condi- tions from which the poor. are now suffering in New Yor! Already four successful meetings have been ‘held under the auspices of the Com- mittee of Action. First Real Mass Movement The Committee of Action in charge of the work of this body has been given full power to take effective steps to bring together all working class organizations and especially the women of ‘the working class regard- less of what political or other organi- zation they are members. A united fight against high rents and houses unfit for habitation is the objective of the organization. The full significance of the United Council of Working Class Women lies in the fact that this is, practically speaking, the first and the most con- scious effort on the part of the mass of tenants to approach the housing problem in a realistic manner. organization properly views the hous- ing question not as an isolated pro- blem, the solution of which is pos- sible by some peculiar brand of legislation or thru the good favor of some capitalist politician. This ization considers the housing cxkis' af one of the evils inherent in the whole system of present class oe ES hy capitalist property relationships. We |quote in part from the official pro- gram of this League to show its practical character and the redeem- ing feature distinguishing it from most of its predecessors: “Tho we know that at present the rent !rest any suspicions rankling in the problem is the burning question of the day for the workers and while we carry on the fight for lower rents and better conidtions now, we know that the workers in the future also have to face problems froin time to time that vitally concern them. There fare even more problems to combst at present, especially for the women, such as, better and more schools and This |Playgrounds for the children, the open shop which is of great concern to the working class, and unemploy- ment which is threatening the work- ers from time to time.” “Therefore in order to carry on an effective struggle at present and to take care of future problems con- cerning the workers, a united work- ing class is needed.” | This Organization Will Grow (nn: eterno ech shee The outlook for the future of this organization is good. With such virile constituent bodies as the Con- sumers’ League of the Bronx, the the Consumers’ League of Harlem, the Lithuanian Progressive Women’s Alliance which alone has a member- ship of more than 2,000, the Socialist Consumers’ League, and the Wom- en’s Circle, there is every reason to believe that this organization wil. grow. Some of the immediate slogans «f the United Council of Working Class Women have already met with a The {splendid response from the workors in New York. Among the practical proposals put ‘forward by the Coun- cil we find a demand for an increase in taxes on céstly private homes and apartments and that the state administrations build and ront apartments to them at cost in order to relieve the present unbearable housing conditions. The housing crisis is not limited to New York. city and indus- trial community in country, faces hous- ‘is in adequate city and | bei country except only for some varia- tion in form, What is necessary is a nation-wide organization of strong tenants’ leagues of the working class on the basis of a practical program to end the present acute distress.

C., Feb, 24.— Vaudeville houses are practically empty these days. Their. patrons attend evéry session of the Senate and find that august chamber more exciting and interesting. The efforts of pompous senators to explain actions that look sus poy like good business, as be- ng motivated by the highest consid- erations of patriotism, bring forth Peals of laughter that would make Al Jolson turn pale with envy. A few days ago a very interesting altercation took place between Sena- tors Phipps and Ashurst, republican and democrat, respectively, of Colo- vado, The House committee appro- priated the sum of $250,000 for an electric _ Plant in which Senator Phipps is stockholder. The Senate committee voted to lop off the quar- ter million. Senator Phipps was the only member of the committee to non-concur, This was meat for his democrat opponent, Let the gentlemen talk. This is what they say to each other: ‘Here comes the Southern Sierra High Power Company and one of its stockholders sits on the commit- tee. I want to ask him how he voted on this item.” “I voted to cut this replied Senator Phipps. “Voted Money in Pocket.” “That is what I thought, and thereby you put mipoay into your own pocket,” Ashurst replied in a loud voice, “But” interrupted Mr. Phipps. “There is no ‘but’ about it,” re- plied the Arizona senator. “When you voted to cut it out you voted to put money in your own pocket, and to deprive the farmers of the valley there of the right to have a high power plant. You should have said, ‘I refuse to vote.’” “T warn the senator not to impute motives,” Mr. Phipps exclaimed. “T care nothing about your warn- ings,” was Mr. Ashurst’s retort. . Phipps Promises Statement. “I will in my own time,” Senator Phipps interrupted, “make a full and complete statement.” “The senator had better make it a confession,” Mr. Ashurst replied. “It will be a statement I shall be proud to make on the floor of the Senate.” Mr. Phipps declared. “There is,” Ashurst replied, “such a thing as being above pride and be- low pride,” Senator Phipps got the floor. He deeply moved. ’ “J came to the senate,” he said, “without one pledge or promise out- standing. I have held my place here, I believe, devoting my time to the service of my country. I have never been approached by any individual or company or the representative of a company, improperly, nor have I been asked at any time how I should vote.” oe These noble words should set at item out,” bosom of any but a case-hardened democrat. The Senate is known as the millionaire’s club. The lower house is composed of senate candi- dates on probation. A worker is as scarce in either house as a snake in Treland. When thieves fall out hon- est men do not always get their due but they get a lot of useful infor- mation. The democrats and republi- cans are now so anxious to gobble up all the graft to be had in the government that they are recklessly spilling the beans on each other.

Gompers Foisting Kolchak Socialist. on Detroit Labor By CYRIL LAMBKIN (Special to The Daily Worker) DETROIT, Feb. 24.—Delegates to the Detroit Federation of Labor and visitors who are familiar with the major events of the Russian Revo- lution regarded each other with amazement at the meeting of the Federation last night, when a letter was from Samuel Gompers calling attention to a lecture to be delivered in Detroit on March 9, by Mr. Vladimir Zenzinoff. Gompers also urged, if possible to arrange to have the same gentleman speak before a labor audience, and stated that the Central Labor Coun- cil of Washington, D. C., had heard Mr, Zenzinoff and was gratified with his message. Viadimir Zenzinoff, they recalled instantly, was a Socialist-Revolu- tionary, who with other leaders of his party formed ‘the Directo: which put Kolchak into power, Kol- chak, as soon as he felt sure of his , arrested the members of his Directory and had them shot, A few, among them Zenzinoff, es- cay Supreme Rulér Kolchak, it bered, was so liked by his people. that he was bayon- etted to death by his own goldiers, The lecture tour is under the aus- pices of Mrs. Simeon Lyre a sister-in-law of the wife of William half frozen and exhausted at the tenement where the trag- edy occurred. Police and fire inspectors before the door of the building refused to let any one pass. So, they decided to visit the people who lived in the houses to each side of the burned building. Living In Wretchedness. At 899 Madison St. they went up one flight of dark stairs, wooden and rotted with age, and knocked at a door. Here, the door opened upon a kitchen where the sick and well were huddled together in wretchedness. A woman, moaning with sciatica, sat on a chair beside a couch where a sick man lay asleep covered with the few poor rags that were not sufficient to keep him warm. A daughter, the only one able to do anything in the house, moved about the room. The father, out of work, came in from another room that looked like a cupboard: They paid $22 a month rent for these wretched rooms. There were no bathing facilities and the out- house was downstairs under the stairs adjacent to a junkshop. They confessed” it was mental agony to them to use the place. But they seemed eager to stay there. They wouldn't kick to the landlord be- cause they said “If we ask for any- thing, the landlord will ask us to move and where will we go? They will get more for these rooms than we pay and we will have to pay more wherever we go. Some places they won’t take us at all, because they are afraid to let in sick people who may not always have the rent.” The girl talked. There were no tears. Her eyes were dry. But in her voice there was heartbreak. “Don’t say anything to the land- lord,” she pleaded, “we cant move, sick as we are,” When the little family was told that working class women were go- ing to go out in a great demonstra- tion to force the administration to start the building of homes for the workers that will be rented at co¥t, they were eager and offered to march, “Living In Firetraps.” The house at 395 Madison St. was five stories and basement, The fire inspectors, after the horrible trag- edy next door, came in to inspect this building. ‘They told the tenants that they were living in a fire-trap.

Tragedy is mingled with love of neighbor and with heroic -every day deeds among the poor! Mrs. Flynn, too, “sure, only when we stand together can we do things for ourselves. I'll join ye when ye’re ready to march.” The fire traps must go. We must get de- cent homes to live in. We don’t want to be forced to move where we must pay still higher rents, but where the city can give us houses without profits to the landlords, Not only the fire next door and the lives that were lost—the whole families that were wiped out—but also the rents and the housing con- ditions and the terrible struggle to live, keeps them awake nights. And among them all, there are some that are timid, some whom life under capitalism has cowed and beaten, and some who are ready to join their sisters in a united effort to get something better than the misery that is theirs today. The United Council of Working Class Women is holding a protest meeting in the neighborhood of the fire on Sunday of this week. MacDonald May Send Tory Diplomat to Russ, Instead of O'Grady (Special to The Daily Worker) LONDON, Feb. 24.—James O’Gra- dy may not be the British ambassa- dor to Moscow. It is-reported that sure is being brought to bear on lacDonald by the business interests who have claims against the Soviet government to appoint a man whose sympathies are not so strong for the workers of Russia as those of James O’Grady are known to be. O’Grady awing to his long connection to Soviet officials in conversations look- ing toward a resumption of diplo- matic relations was considered the most available man for the position when the British Labor Party formed a government. Since then and it is even rumored that the capitalist parties have prom- ised him a reasonably long term of office with only slight opposition pro- vided he does the right thing—as you say in the States—by the capitalist class.
