Local trade unionists are becoming so disgusted with the antics of their faker leadership that they are losing all interest in their organizations. The Labor Temple has become as quiet as an undertaking parlor, since the “reds” were cast from it into the| darkness. | William Z. Foster, Communist can- @idate, will present to these workers the Communist plan for reorganization of the unions upon an industrial basis the only way out for the craft unionists from the difficulties which confront them as the result of the con- tinuance of their outworn form of} eraft organization. Foster to Mess Up Bob. Foster will also have a message of interest for the LaFolleete supporters who are rapidly drifting away from the Wisconsin Messiah as the result of the high-handed tactics used by his crowd in jamming the LaFollette-Bry- an swindle down the throats of his} worshipers. Foster will speak at Sioux City and} Des Moines (lowa) before coming to Omaha, at Sioux City on the 29th and Des Moines on the 30th. © Foster’s meetings are arousing unusual inter- est among the workers and farmers in Brookhart’s domain.

Get the Signature. The big thing to put over is to get signatures. The next job is to leave |some literature. That is all that can be covered by the comrades on this job. Undertaking to engage in a dis- cussion or debate will do more harm n good to the immediate task in hand Bear in mind that you cannot break down in one minute the wall of preju- built up for years by wrong edu- tion and capitalist propaganda. You ave no time to hammer away at this wall while getting signatures. And the door that has opened to you will quickly shut in your face unless you di | observe a few rules. Housewife Answers Knock. You knock at the door and usually a woman greets you. “Are there any voters in your family?” is a good question to approach her with. She answers in the affirmative and you proceed to enter. You address those present. “Will you give us your signature to help put our candidate on the ballot in this district? A number of citizens in this district want to vote for him, but be- fore they can do so, his name must appear on the ballot. We cannot get his name on the ballot without signa- tures from the citizens in this district. “Signing this petition places you under no obligation to vote for this man. You, no doubt, understand this. | Being a voter, you have been called upon to do this before.” This will secure the confidence of the person addressed and the signa- jture without a minute’s hesitation. Then assuring yourself as to the per- son’s qualifications as a citizen, you give him a pencil and he signs. Hand Out Party Literature. When you leave exchange a few pleasant remarks while handing out party literature. But let the other fellow express opinions. Get an idea of what the man is thinking about, but don’t push your views. The most you can do and should do is to raise a@ question in his mind about the things he is so sure about and let your literature do the convincing. Instead of setting out with the in- tention to teach, go out to learn, And you will learn what you are up against to get your story to the work- ers, Their minds have been doped with capitalist propaganda. They have been fed on the philosophy of hate and prejudice against your idea by the calling of names, Mention of those very names shuts them up tight in fear of contamination, Recognize “DAILY WORKER.” Here are a few interesting experi- ences; One man approached on the curb in front of his house, shouted to his friend: “Don’t you see the girls are carrying copies of the DAILY WORKER What are you asking $$ $ FOR YOU AT CHICAGO'S ONLY LABOR BANK WH THE WORK Amalgamated ERE ER BANKS Trust and Savings Bank 371 WEST JACKSON BLVD.

From with- in we heard a phonograph. We knock- ed. The phonograph was stopped and a man opened the door. Apologizing for hands that were colored from hard labor, and not from being soiled, he grabbed the pencil in his big first and signed for all he was worth. “There!” he said, as if striking a wallop at something he hated. “I’m thru with the old parties. I've voted democrat and I’ve voted republican and now I'm thru. From now on I'll do a little voting for myself Jack Johnstone, candidate for congress in the ninth district, is my man. Tell him he’ll get my vote.” We piled him up with literature, shook hands with him and told him ‘we hoped to hear from him. We met a union man who signed be- cause Johnstone is a union men, Up- on learning that this union man would vote for LaFollette, I asked him whether LeFollette was a union man. He didn’t know. So I said I knew that all our candidates were and I asked him to read our literature, which he promised to do after he signed the petitfon. New York Women. Meet.

MOVIE THEATRE MUSICIANS MAY STRIKE SEPT, 1 Union Demand 46 Week Contract for Men No agreement has been reached be- tween the representatives of the Musi- cians’ Union and movie theater man- agers who met to discuss the music- jans’ new contract. The musicians are demanding a 46 week contract. The managers are holding out for the old system, of indefinite term employ- *}ment. Managers in the moving picture houses (this excludes the two-a-day picture houses) have been in the habit of employing a number of musi- cians one week and reducing the number to about half the next week. This has kept’a standing line of un- employed musicians. “There is no reason why a picture house should net estimate the number of men necessary at the beginning of the year and to guarantee each musi- cian 46 weeks in a year,” James Pet- rilla told the DAILY WORKER. Subscribe for “Your Daily,” the DAILY WORKER. AS WE By T. J. O'FLAHERTY. (Continued from Page 1.) that one of the most dangerous dis- eases this country is suffering from is laziness. Business men devote more time to golf than to business and the workers loaf on the job. This sap- head holds that if the workers worked longer hours and with great- er intensity that everybody would be better off. At the present time there are 2,000,000 workers unemployed in the United States. * . * F those who are employed produced more wealth than they are turning out at the present time, it would sim- ply increase the army of labor so much faster. So long as wealth is produced for profit and not for the use of the producers, so long will in- telligent workers refuse to speed up and produce more. In Russia where every increase in the mass of, produc- tion adds to the standard of living of the producer there is no necessity for urging the workers to produce more. They know that greater pro- duction brings them more of the good things of life. oe ee E are told it requires brains to make money. Perhaps it may be said that Harry K. Thaw is the ex- ception that proves the rule. - But there are others, almost as crazy as Women Jobless Too. WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—More women in Connecticut are looking for work now than at any time since January, according to a report made to the women’s bureau of the U. S. department of labor by Miss Char- lotte M. Holloway, an industrial in- spector in the field. This unemploy- ment is due to the closing of mills and factories. Work in the tobacco fields will absorb much of this labor for a few weeks. Join the Workers Party! Banker Embezzles Dough. MADISON, Wis., August 29.—Henry E, Rohlf, former president of the Hay- ward (Wis.) National Bank, was un- der sentence of eight years in Leaven- worth prison today, following a plea of guilty in federal court yesterday on an embezzlement charge. Thaw, tho it would take an alienist to give the exact location of the parti- cular gland which is responsible for the mental deviation. Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormick, believes that she was at one time the devoted wife of Tut-ank-Hamen anl later on, one of the concubines of Henry VIII of glorious and neurotic memory. ee OW comes the Vanderbilt family. Two years ago Mrs. Ogden Mills, one of the Vanderbilts, married Sir Paul Dukes, a member of the “Oom” colony and British stool pigeon in Russia. The latest member of the Vanderbilt family to fall under the in- fluence of this strange cult is Mrs. Barbara C. Rutherford Hatch. She married a disciple of “Oom, the Om- nipotent,” known in real life as Pierre A. Bernard. The business-like cultist was once a barber and no doubt, will trim the bride off of some of her mil- lions before he turns her over to the next faker. But brains! They belong to the barber.

Wheeler, Democrat, who is running for the vice-presidency of the United States on the LaFollette ticket. Walsh is supporting John W. Davis, the at- torney for the House of Morgan. Davis says that Morgan, the Standard Oil Company, the Equitable Trust and other big corporations and financial institutions that he is working for, are alright.

In supporting La Follette for president, Wheeler is fighting Davis and therefore, fighting Morgan. What is it, anyhow? A phantasy or an election campaign? ee ene IGHTEEN persons including Col. Forbes, are indicted for conspir- acy to defraud the government in the Veterans’ Bureau. They are now awaiting trial. What a cesspool of cor- ruption this capitalist government of the United States is? “Take away the incentive to accumulate wealth, and civilization would fall,” say the apolo- gists for the capitalist system. But it appears that capitalism is coming down thru the action of economic forces, assisted by capitalism’s agents who are so anxious to accumulate wealth and “make good” that they rob the institutions they are sworn to pro- tect. No more shameful piece of bur- glary was ‘ever committed than the robbery of the Veterans’ Bureau. And this was done by good 100 per cent patriotic Americans. eae ce a C. WALTON, former governor of * Oklahoma, and Democratic nomi- nee for senator fromm. Oklahoma, prom- ises to treat the Ku Klux Klan rough when he gets into the millionaires’ club in Washington. Walton was elect- ed governor of Oklahoma with the support of the workers, but when he got in, he soon turned his coat. He even joined the Klan, but thieves have a habit of falling out so he was ex- pelled from the hooded order. Mr. Wal- ton will fight for nothing but his own interests. He is one of the most no- torious fakers in the United States. He is supporting John W. Davis, the Morgan attorney for president.
