* Saturday, September 6, 1924 GITLOW TO FLA OPPONENTS AT | NEW YORK MEET Campaign Will Open in Central Opera House (Special to the DAILY WORKER) NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—Ad- vance notice has been received here indicating that Ben Gitlow, vice-presidential candidate on the Workers Party ticket, is going to take the mask from the many avowed “friends of labor,” who have so widely ad- vertised themselves, on Labor Day. It is expected that he will paint in rousing colors the real picture of his vice-presidential opponents. The meeting which will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 9; at the Central Opera House, 67th Street and 3rd Avenue, is bound to be a stirring one. Takes Shot at Dawes. The following statement was issued by Gitlow’s campaign committee in an- nouncing the meeting: It seems that “Hell and Maria” Dawes, head of the American Fascisti, the Minute Men of the Constitution, and defender of the Ku Klux Klan, or- ganizations which do not hesitate to ride roughshod over the so-called guarantees of liberty, free speech, etc., is preparing in his next speech to de- fend the constitution. Mr. Dawes gives a good illustration of his method of defending the consti- tution when he refers to the last great railroad strike, when the strikers had completely tied up the trdnsportation system of the country, and says: “The citizens stood it so long. Then they ran 300 strikers out gf town and hanged one to a telegraph pole.” Bryan’s Brother Talks. Governor Charles W. Bryan, before an audience of farmers at Elk Point, 8. D., declared that the “democratic party is a friend of labor,” in spite of the fact that his party refused to give even Sam Gompers any consideration in formulating its platform and then proceeded to nominate John W. Davis, Morgan’s lawyer and defender of nu- merous open shop _ corporations. A SPECIAL EDITION _ > ——————_—————————————— LaFOLLETTE’S FRIENDS, CLAIMING KINSHIP TO MacDONALD, DISCOVER LABOR PREMIER IS AID OF DAWES All was commotion yesterday at the LaFollette. Campaign Headquarters in the Morrison Hotel. It had suddenly been dis- covered that not only the MacDonald government in England, but also the Herriot government in France and the social-demo- cracy, supporting capitalist rule the Dawes plan. in Germany, are all in favor of State Campaign Manager Charles J. McGowan was the first to make the startling discovery, + shortly before a reporter for the DAILY WORKER dropped in at the headquarters. Didn’t Know It Before MacGowan confessed’ that when making recent speeches attacking the Dawes Plan he was ignorant that the socialist and labor politicians in Great Britain, France and Germany were in favor of it. MacGowan denounced the Dawes plan at the state conference of the La Follette forces, at the Auditorium Hotel several weeks ago, and last Sun- day, at the socialist picnic at River- view. He called it a “Morgan plan.” La Follette had said something to the same effect, But at the same time MacGowan and all other “Back to 76” campaign- ers had been comparing La Follette to MacDonald and Herriot. What they will do now is a mystery. Perhaps a special conference will have to be called with La Follette, at‘ Washing- ton, to iron out this new wrinkle on the Wisconsin senator’s political horizon. MacGowan Has an Explanation “I can only conclude,” declared Mac- Gowan, recovering from his first panic, “that those countries are so desperate that they are ready to sign anything. I can see no other reason for these men taking such a position on the Dawes plan. However, I cannot speak for them. I can only speak for our position. Mr. La Follette has express- ed himself against the Dawes plan.” It would no doubt be taxing the com- prehension of Mr. MacGowan too Jj much to ask him to understand that what the ruling governments of Great Britain, France and Germany are des- perate about, is the increasing accept- ance by the workers of the leader- ship of the Communist Parties in these countries. i MacGowan would not understand that the same fear that confronts Mac- Donald, Herriot and Marx, is the fear that La Follette showed when he issued his attack against the Com- munists, just. prior to the St. Panl Farmer-Labor’ Convention on June 17. It is the fear that prompts La Follette to attack the Farmer-Labor Party organizations where his camp- aign comes in contact with them. It is a desperate fear. Nelson Completely Ignorant Congressman John M. Nelson, La Follette’s national campaign manager, with offices adjoining those of State Campaign Manager MacGowan, re- fused to commit himself on the Dawes Plan. : It looks as if the La Follette camp- figners would have to keep mum about the MacDonald government, the ally of “Fascisti” Dawes, Chicago’s open shop banker, in trying to stop the workers of Western Europe in their drive toward Communism. Join the Work Party! Bryan has the “nerve” to refer to Da vis as “that able lawyér and states- man” in calling upon labor for its sup- port. Wheeler Inflammable. And then comes Senator Wheeler, who calls himself a “friend of labor,” too. Altho he assails Coolidge for his “venal and corrupt” administration, and altho he attacks Dawes for his “gallant service in war on organized labor,” this “friend of labor,” who in- dorsed the candidacy of the reaction- ary Senator Walsh of Montana, did not mention his own connection with the oil kings of Montana or his failure to expose the anti-labor record of Burns and Daugherty. Ruthenberg Arrives. In striking contrast with these men, Ben Gitlow, who will be heard at the Central Opera House on Tuesday night, stands forth as the only vice presidential candidate whose record and life as a whole attest his valuable services to the workers of this coun. try. The meeting, which is to be the opening rally of the campaign, prom- ises to be one of the largest meetings run by the Workers Party locally. C. E. Ruthenberg, national secretary of the Workers Party, has come from Chicago for the purpose of officially opening the campaign here. = FOR YOUR CITY! THE DAILY WORKER TOOK HOLIDAY ON LABOR DAY; THEY LOSE JOBS (Special to The DAILY WORKER.) GIRARD, Ohio, Sept. 5.—The work- ers in the McDonald plant of the Unit- ed States Steel company labored un- der the impression that Labor Day, being a legal holiday, they could take a day off and enjoy themselves. How- ever, they learned quite the contrary ‘was the custom ™jn this company. And their lesson cost them their jobs. A few days later 100 men found their checks taken from the board and a notice awaiting them to call at the pay office for their money. McDonald’s is a hard place to keep men and the company made sure that their places could be filled before tak- ing this step. They found the army of unemployed plentiful here and so the doctors are busy vaccinating and finger-printing the new slaves. Left Wing Branches of Workmen’s Circle Aid Communist Fight Rubin Yoocelson, representing the left wing branches of the Workmen’s Circle, of Chicago, at the Campaign Conference called by the Chicago City Central Committee, of the Jewish branches of the Workers Party held Sunday, August 31, at 3322 Douglass Blvd., said: “My organization will send out letters appealing to all the Workmen's Circle branches in the middle western states to support Wil- Mam Z. Foster and Ben Gitlow in the coming presidential campaign, as they are the only candidates who stand for the emancipation of the working class, and whereas the prin- ciples of the Workmen's Circle is that the members must vote only for can- didates that stand for the emancipa- tion of the working class, it 1s there- fore the duty of every member of that organization to vote for the Workers Party candidates.” There is developing a sentiment among the Jewish workers in Chicago for the Workers Party candidates in the coming elections, it was pointed out by the delegates. Due to this senti- ment it is expected that the next con- ference, which will be held on Sun- day, Sept. 13, at 3322 Douglass Blvd., will prove even more successful. The delegates have promised financial and other support that might be needed in the campaign. \ . AS WE ) Page Three SEE IT By T. J. O'FLAHERTY.

Dispatches came simultaneously from London, Geneva, Constantinople and Warsaw, all carrying the same tale. A pan- handler, styling himself delegate from Georgia, appeared at the League of Nations in Geneva and entered the lists against Baron Munchausen, Ac- cording to this wandering liar, half of Georgia was in possession of the revo- lutionists, and the rest was sure to be theirs before long.
