u¥ Wednerday, April 2, 1924 THE DAILY WORKER LABOR LEADER DENOUNGED FOR BIG BETRAYAL Small Branded a Scab Governor The Workers Party of District 8 (IMlinois) has issued the following statement, declaring that. the time is “rotten rips for the formation of a real Farmer-Labor Party,” and de- nouncing John Fitzpatrick and John Nockels, nembers of the executive board of the Farmer-Labor Party of the United States, for endorsing the anti-union, crooked and. disreputable old party politician Len small. The statement follows: That the Executive Board of the Illinois State Federation of Labor. in a resolution adopted, endorsed the candidacy of Governor Small for an- other term as Governor of the State of Illinois, and called upon the work- rs to vote for Governor Small in the primaries election April 8th, is no surprise to anyone. Most of the members of that executive board frankly endorse the political policy of Samuel Gompers. John H. Walker, President of the Illinois State Fed- eration, has made himself conspic- uous by his renegade folicy from the socialist party to the Farmer- Labor Party, and from the Farmer- Labor Party to the tail end of the capitalist politicians. To some, how- ever, it. may appear rather shocking that John Fitzpatrick and Edward Nockels who, in the past, have posed @s progressives, sponsoring a policy of independent political action of the workers; with other prominent labor men, take the same vosition as the State Federation of¢Lakor, that is, to urge the workers to vote for Small in the April 8th primaries, John Endorses Scab. In this manner John Fitzpatrick has completed the swing to the capi- talist parties Which he began at the July 8rd Convention, at which the Federated Farmer-Labor Party was formed, and which further was strengthened by his action as a member of the Chicago Labor Com- mittee on Injunctions, in endorsing the judicial candidates of the capi- talists. “Small for Governor, aside from the fact that he, while being a public official, was put on the unfair list by the Trades Council of his home -town, Kankakee, Ill., and also aside from the fact that he, in his much praised road builiing program, awarded contracts of construction to non-union builders and thus helped to reduce the wages of the workers, constitutes a .cortnlete betrayal of the principles of independent politi- eal action by the workers. Embraces Disreputable Higa To, the workers of the State. minis should now have become clear that there can be no hope for real leadership from such labor offi- cials, despite their progressive phrases, John Fitzpatrick has many times, in the past, within the Chi- cago Federation of Labor and as the svokesman for the Farmer-Labor Party stated that the workers can hope for no relief from the injustice, and encroachments of capitalism be- fore they realize the necessity of, thru their own instrument, placing their own men in public positions. Now he himself deliberately betrays this principle, severs his connections with the working masses in their struggles, not only to find a way toward their emancipation but even to gain their immediate needs. He has become entangled with the dis- reputable capitalist state officials and sponsored the maintenance of such a regime. , Real Labor Party Needed. The majority of the members of the Executive Committee of the Farmer-Labor Party disagree with Fitzpatrick in that. action, which only substantiates the contention repeatedly made by the Workers Party, that the workers must organ- ize their own political party, that is, their own political instrument, and place its own candidates in the field “und control the action of such can- a real class Farmer-Labor Party in the State of Illinois, which can be- |- come an integral part of the farmer- labor forces which will gather at St. Paul on June 17th for the for- Boycott Fitzpatrick and Small.

' Fink Agency Offers Its Stool Pigeons To Big Employers (By The Federated Press) MILWAUKEE, April 1.—Indus- trial espionage is sold to Milwaukee employers in the following sales let- ter sent out by the Howard W.

" “Every executive I’ve ever met would like to do this very thing but, as you can appreciate, it is out of the question and it wouldn’t pay you to do this any more than to typewrite your own letters or do your own bookkeeping. How then can it be lone?—you ask, Russell Service is the answer. “Our trained representatives, with their diversified experience will fur- nish you with unbiased information, suggestions and criticisms such as no one else in your organization can or will give you. They will serve as your eyes and ears out in the shop, around town—or wherever they may be—gathering any and all informa- tion of possible value to you, en- abling you to best protect your inter- ests. Unless yours is an exceptional situation, you can use Russell Serv- ice profitably. ‘i “We will be glad to have one of our field managers call to discuss your particular situation with you and explain our service if you just draw a circle around this word ‘YES’ and return this letter.

Weeks Indifferent to War Frauds, Weeks has been as indifferent as Daugherty to the prosecution of war frauds, and Wallace has ignored the plain letter of the law with reference to stockyards and meat packer con- trol. A house committee is now in- vestigating Wallace’s acts, Senator McKellar of Tennessee has renewed the fight begun by the late Senator Watson of Georgia to remove Mel- lon from office on the ground that as a business magnate he is constitution- ally barred from being secretary of the treasury. McLean’s Washington Post, which bashfully refrained from — editorial comment on the downfall of Daugh- erty,-has proposed that Senator Ster- ling of South, Dakota be appointed in his stead. Sterling would be an ideal spokesman of the anti-labor and anti- progressive program of the adminis- tration. Cee, ee ae Senator Borah’s latest resolution calling for an international confer- ence for the economic restoration of a@ war-impoverished world, shows all of the limitations placed upon any appeal to the Coolidge administra- fion. Not only does the resolution leave the program to the president but it also leaves to the discretion of Coolidge the essential matter of in- vitations, Recognize Russia. Borah says that while he leaves to the president the option of inviting or excluding any country, it is obvi- ous that such a conference can achieve, no important success unless Russia and Germany take part. To accomplish anything, it must be a world conference, yet just because he knows that Seoretary Hughes and the president are hostile to Russia he can go no further than suggest the mat- ter in a speech. *. * @& Secretary Hughes is busy with the Latin-American diplomats just now, assuring them that his recent send- ‘ing of a company of marines 100 miles inland to occupy the capital of Honduras is in no sense an innova- tion in the political affairs of that republic. Senator Shipstead, however, is of the opinion that Hughes would have gone much further in his mili- tary campaign on behalf of the Unit- ed Fruit Co.’s dictatorship in Hon- duras had the progressives in con- gress not voiced a vigorous protest. U. S. Sticks In Nose, President Coolidge seeks to calm the fears of the people of Latin- America by announcing that he fav- ors the election of the governor of Porto Rico by the people of Porto Rico—a measure demanded by a com- mission representing all of the poli- tical parties of the island and for- mally indorsed by the house committee on insular affairs, Secretary of War Weeks recently sent a telegram to Porto Rico declaring that he opposed this plan of popular election of the governor because the Socialists might soon became strong enough to win the election.

Dalrymple, representative of John L. Lewis in the District. Barrett, as a result of his sub- servience to Lewis, and his assis- tance to Besco in keeping down the wages of the miners, was over- whelmingly defeated in the last District elections, but the miners could not get rid of him, for he was kept upon the payroll by Lewis, al- tho his presence in the mining area was exceedingly obnoxious to the workers. ‘ His resignation is welcomed by the miners, as their patience with him and his fellow Lewis appoin- tees was almost exhausted. The overwhelming vote of the miners rejecting the last Barrett- Lewis iniquity, the Montreal con- tract, was the immediate cause of the resignation. G. 0. P. National Committee Favors Lynching, Says Report (By The Federated Press) NEW YOFK, April 1.—The Repub- ‘Sean nationak committee is ‘‘condon- ang lynehing and mob violence,” says the American Civil Liberties union here in replying to the committee’s attack on Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana who is investigating the ousted attorney general, Harry M. Datgherty. ; The Republican committee issued a statement attacking Wheeler on the rand that “treason ran riot in ontana while he was U. S. district attorney,” and that “finally the de- cent patriotic Americans of Butte took the matter in hand, hanged one of the leaders, and ran the others out of Butte.” The reference is to the hanging of Frank Little, July 31, 1917. The Liberties union reminds the Repub- licans that this was one of “many outrages committed -by representa- tives of the Anaconda Copper Co. against their employes, and was due solely to Little’s activities as a strike leader. No charges of sedition or treason were made against him or any of the strikers. “The state of Montana, politically and industrially, has been long domi- nated by the Anaconda Copper Co., controlled from New York. The com- pany’s record is one of lawlessness, | bloodshed, bribery and corruption. +++ Mr Wheeler should be com- mended for his activities in behalf of American rights of free speech, freedom of the press and freedom of assemblage for the people of his ‘state."? ‘ Penn Operators Will Attempt to Force Wage Cut on Miners (By The Federated Press) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 1—A wage reduction will be demanded by the operators in the negotiations which have begun here between the mine owners and miners of the cen- tral Pennsylvania bituminous field, |, according to B.

(Staff Correspondent of ‘The Federated Press) WASHINGTON, April 1.—Presi- dent Coolidge, with evident reluc- tance, kicks Attorney General Daugh- erty. overboard, to follow Secretary Denby, and once more the old guard is divided between those who rejoice in Coolidge’s “courageous perfor- mance of duty,” and those who privately denounce him for “caving in” when his friends come under too hot a fire. Denby’s assistant, young Roosevelt, is still in office, and the capitol waits to see whether Detec- tive Burns will not likewise be re- tained in favor and power. It was on the morning of Daugh- erty’s dismissal that Senator Wheel- er’s committee investigating crooked- néss in the department of justice heard the testimony of Allen J, Pick- ering, former auditor in the aircraft war fraud cases, that all attempts to prosecute Mitsui & Co. in the Stan- dard Aircraft case, and other graft- ers, were stopped by the department itself, The Wright-Martin case, the Lincoln Motadrs case and other big eases involving almost $20,000,000 which should have been recovered by Daugaerty for the government, were covered in his testimony. Free Pork. How Harry Sinclair, J, Ogden Ar- mour, Will Hays, Thos. B. Felder and W. J. Burns, among others, frequent- ed the Daugherty-Smith apartment, and how Daugherty played cards with Fall, Sinclair, Zevely and\Jess Smith, while “plenty of whisky” was supplied from the wall safe at the McLean house on Hi st., occupied by Daugh- erty and Smith, was told by Daugh- erty’s colored valet, Walter Miller. He said that Armour’s local agent supplied the house with hams and other meats, and sent no bills. ( The packers’ “consent decree” was at that time being studied by Daugherty on behalf of the American public.) A choice bit in this testimony was the statement that Richard Wash- burn Child, rabid anti-labor publicity man, called on Daugherty and Smith at this house of mystery and convi- viality before getting his appointment as ambassador to Italy. Child served in Italy,. and told Mussolini that America liked his methods. The third witness on this memora- ble day was former Congressman Ol- cott of New York, who said he was |approached, when he became a can- didate for appointment to the federal bench, by one Wayne Wilson, who told him “the boys” would require $10,000 when he was appointed and $25,000 when he was confirmed. The old guard look upon Coolidge’s sur- render to public indignation against Denby and Daugherty as showing that he will continue to use them in fair weather and let them shift for them- selves when the winds begin to blow, Some ‘of them may decide to turn state’s evidence—unless Coolidge ap- points one of their crowd in Daugh- erty’s place.

The former may be a progressive or reform party, rebelling against the corruption of the two old reactionary parties of Capitalism, but it can only be a capitalist party, not a labor party. By a labor party is meant a party that is not only op- posed to the Republican and Demo- cratic parties but stands openly, squarely and finally for labor. A third party, as it is popularly under- stood today, is not expected to do that. It is only expected to make capitalist party politics cleaner and return -some of the early virtues of capitalism, such as freedom of speech, of the press, etc, Labor welcomes everything that makes for a cleaner and freer socjal and political life. But labor’s grievances are not, primarily, against capitalist corruption. They are against the economic and other evils inherent in our industrial sys- tem. To cope with those evils the workers must have their own labor party. No other party could or would do it.” TOM MYERSCOUGH DARES LEWIS TO DEBATE ISSUES Progressive Gives Lie to U. M. W. of A.

Lewis, Merchants Bank Bldg., Indianapolis, Ind. Dear Sir—I have been informed that a meeting was recently held in the Pittsburgh district at which an effort was made to arrange a debate between a representative of. yj the International or District Union and myself. The effort was launched, so as to enable the miners of District No. 5 to deter- mine whether or not I am guilty, as charged by you and other offi- cials of the Miners Union. attempting to bring aboat a redue, tion in wages in 1921, I have also been informed thes sabotage was practised to prevent the calling of such a meeting, be- causé you do not want the miners to hear the truth. Now, however, inasmuch as Philip Murray, P. T. Fagan and yourself are collaborat-. ing in the spreading of the lie that I did make such an attempt, I hereby challenge you, Murray or Fagan to a debate on the fgl- lowing subject, yourseif preferred: Resolved, That John L. Lewis lied when he charged that I tried to bring about a reduction in wages, to the 1917 schedule, in the year 1921 at Monongahela, City, Pa. I will take the affirmative and you, or the one you choose, the negative. The date und place of such a meeting to be agreed to by allowing you to select three dates in the second half of April or the first half ot May. Also three principal towns in District No. 5, from which I will make the final selection. If you think you can make your lies stick in this district, this is your chance.

The money for the increase is to be found by reducing the educational apparatus of the country. Seven years of school are required for every Dutch child.

While at present children are required to en- ter school at. 6, they would here- after enter at 7, and quit at 11 years, while formerly, they were obliged to go until their 13th year, education, in Holland, spread the same slander about Mac- Lachlan.
