PAPCUN een to The Daily Worker) CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 10. As is the case thruout the country, thousands of young people who ought to be in school, are compelled to work in Cleveland in order to make up for the inadequacy of the wages received by the family bread-winner. The “Young Worker,” official organ of the Young Workers League (organization of Com- munist working class youth), recently published an expose of the deplorable conditions of the young workers in the National Biscuit company plant in Cleve- ! land. The article states: Young Workers Toll Hardest. “The young workers employed by the National Biscuit company do the dirtiest and hardest work on the place. Wrapping red-hot cakes that make your hands bleed, washing choc- late pans, loading trucks and convey- ore.” Children as young as fourteen years are said to toil in this sweat-shop, under pretense of being sfxteen, for nine or nine and one-half hours per day, and for wages which start as low as fourteen dollars a week and never get much higher, The Cleveland Woolen Mills, the National Mazda Lamp. works, the steel mills are other places where young workers slave and toil to turn out profits for the bosses. Educate Young Workers. The Cleveland local of the Young ‘Workers League is endeavoring to ed- ucate and organize the young workers to fight for their rights against the Bosses and to help build up the Com- munist movement in order to finally abolish the capitalist system of ex- ploitation of young and old workers. ‘The local office is Room 312, Labor Temple, 2536 Euclid Ave., and local prganizer is George Rapcun. The ‘West Side Branch meets every Tues- day at the Finnish Hall, 1303 West 58th St. The branch is studying “Shop Talks in Economics.” The Hast Side Branch meets every Friday, at Gr- dina’s Hall, 6025 St. Clair Ave. and 1s studying “A. B. C. of Communism.” The student’s branch meets every Bunday at 3:30 at the Freiheit Hall, 5811 Woodland Ave., and is also studying the “A. B. C. of Commun- ism.” Any young worker who wishes to take part in the revolutionary la- bor movement is invited to visit and join the league. Ghandi Finishes His Fast.

Socialists Agree to Anything. “Some weeks ago, the New York Trades and Labor Council indorsed LaFollette and Wheeler»with the ex- pressed understanding “that this did not by any means imply an indorse- ment of any of the local Conference for Progressive Political Action can- didates, This stand was approved by the LaFollette and socialist delegates in the council, thus leaving the door open for an indorsement of Smith by that body. “Since then both the Central Trades and Labor Council and the New York State Federation, supported strongly by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, have indorsed Smith for governor, without a word of protest or disapproval from the LaFollette or socialist delegates at these gatherings. “The increasing dissatisfaction of the LaFollette forces with its social- ist hangers-on, has been very plainly shown on a number of recent occa- sions. At a LaFollette meeting in the Town Hall, last week, Frank P. Walsh the chairman, openly praised the rec- ord of Smith, while Norman Thomas,|¢ the socialist candidate for governor, sat on the platform.

However, he praised very highly the Smith. housing program. seems to be that the socialist party has been told to ‘behave’ if it would remain in ‘respectable’ LaFollette company. sion is the fact that Thomas himself has publicly approved of many things for which Smith stands, altho he dif- fered very amiably on a few minor points. If the socialist party’ has abandoned the Thomas campaign in favor of Smith, it is throwing its ma- chinery, or what is left of it, behind a man whom it has consistently criti- SSS Main 5921 Williamson Bldg., Cleveland, O. insure. 50c : $1.00 Welcome M.

Cannon, Workers Party candidate for gov- ernor, makes the following interesting comment: “The announcement, published recently in the New York Times, that the socialist party has decided to abandon its cam- paign for Norman Thomas in favor of'Al Smith is apparently the culmination of a series of efforts made by the LaFollette forces to secure the support of the industrial cities of the state, which Gets Orders from LaFollette. ‘ “If the Times report be true, then there is no doubt that the socialist party is acting un-f cised as the candidate of Tammany Hall, and of the capitalist democratic party. Completely Compromises Principles. “The socialist party, thru its sup: port of LaFollette and now, apparent: ly, of Smith, has confirmed my prev- lous contention that it has completely compromised its principles and has therefore lost the right to call itself a party represerting the workers. In New York, which was the center of its former strength, it has been forced to join with LaFolette and now, it seems, with Smith, in a final effort to regain its lost prestige. Instead it is being driven daily to further com- promises and further retreats by the rapid desertion of its former follow- ers and by the increasing pressure of the unsympathetic, anti-socialist ele- ments with whom it has allied itself, thus leaving the field clear for the only party which has retained its working class character—the Workers Party. “J.

Always Active Fighters. The candidates for the county of- fices and the state legislature have for years been active fighters in the working class movement. Cleveland workers will see in the list many names of those long and well-known for their revolutionary spirit and de votion to the working class. The Workers Party is the only party besides the capitalist republi can and the democratic parties tc have candidates in the field in this country, Despite all the noise of the would-be progressives and have-been socialists, they have left the field en. tirely clear to the old parties except for one candidate for congress. There is only one course left for the worker who wishes to express his working class solidarity and his op- Position to the present system, and that is to vote the Workers Party (Communist) ticket... Of course the Workers Party won't’ win, but let those who are anxious to be on the winning side, answer the question, who wins when the old parties win?

Gary and Morgan are also the most influential directors of the Pullman Palace Car company and the First National Bank of New York. “Coolidge is not trying to play poli- ties,” said Gary recently in eloquent- ly praising his personally-owned can- didate. “But Coolidge is trying to pro- mote and protect business and busi- ness prosperity.” It is worthy of note that the firms which the Gary-Morgan interests are backing are the most notorious labor- smashing corporations in the coun- try. The Pullman company, of which J. P. Morgan, George F. Baker, his partner, and Harold S. Vanderbilt, are directors, in the latest strike in the Pullman car works, imported scabs from all over the United States, en- listed dozens of Chicago policemen to arrest and molest the strikers, in or- der to perpetuate a neck-breaking speed up and wage reduction system. Florence Pullman has long used her millions wrung out of the steel car yuilders, to promote the interests of er husband Frank Lowden and other sxrooked republican politicians. The International Harvester com- pany, which is now practically shut lown, throwing thousands of work- ers on the streets of Chicago, starv- ing and penniless, has also ruthlessly broken strikes and fired men who talked unionism. Thomas W. Lamont, the partner of J. P. Morgan, who is uso a director of the Crowell Pub- lishing company, which has been plac- od on the unfair list by organized la- bor, represents the Morgan interests on the board of directors of the Har- vester trust. All Typical Coolidge Backers. These men, Gary, Morgan, Lamont, Baker and their fellow Wall Street capitalists, are typical Coolidge back- ors. And while yesterday it was dis- alosed that John Davis, democratic }} candidate, had been forced to spend $5,000.00 of his own money before getting some rich “angel” to back his campaign, Coolidge has from the start of the campaign been well supplied with Wall Street money. The workers in the Gary steel mills, nthe Pullman Car shops and the Harvester trust factories are well ac- quainted with the labor hating “com- pany unions” which the heads of the steel trust have instituted. The in- ‘lustrial councils of the International Harvester company, the company un- ions in Pullman and Gary are well known by the workers to be nothing more than a net work of spies which root out union men who preach real working class organization and fire and blacklist them, It would take too long to write ——— —————— ——_= WHAT LOCAL ARE YOU INP down the numerous interests repre- sented by the directors of the United States Steel corporation. Suffice it to say that the above mentioned com- panies run numerous scab coal mines in Kentucky, exploit Negro labor in the south, and Mexican labor on the sissal fibre fields of Mexico. Thru George F. Baker, the steel trust is in- terlocked with numerous railroads and gas and electric companies. The Western Electric company, which hires the cheapest obtainable labor and crushes unionism with an iron hand, is also interlocked with the steel trust. Morgan is on the executive committee of the Chamber of Com- merce of New York State, an organ- ization which devotes its energies to cheapening the wages and crushing unionism. Gary Made Doctor of Laws. Not only does Judge Gary control the workers in the steel mills and his other trusts, but Gary goes after the ideas of the children of the workers by his meddling in the educational system. Gary’s platoon school ac- tivities are well known. Gary is also watching closely the teachings in the colleges of the United States. “We saw Judge Gary being made a learned Doctor of Laws at North- western University,” Upton Sinclair Sinclair tells us in his “Goose Step.” “But-at the university of Pittsburgh they made him a doctor of science, which, is supposed to be a real degree. If you could plumb the depths of Gary’s ignorance on every subject ex- cept making money ang killing men, you would appreciate the absurdity of this academic performance.” Sinelair tells how Judge Gary was brot to the University of Syracuse to “preach his piety to the students who have chapel every morning, and gave the newspapers his speech in advance, after feeding pious poison to the grad- uating class.” Gary, who obtained his Northwestern University degree on the strength of being a trustee and heavy contributor to that university, also controls the Carnegie Institute of Technology at Pittsburgh. Sinclair tells how an instructor was fired from Carnegie Tech for permit- ting the secretary of the Pennsylvania State Federation of Labor to speak to a group of the students. The order for the dismissal of this professor came’ from the United States Steel corporation, and the Carnegie faculty had to obey their owners and fire the instructor. Then There Is Foster. Against this record of the Wall Street backers of Coolidge—union breaking monopolists, gougers of the workers, controllers of their educa- tion, is the record of William Z. Fos- ter, as the best organizer of the steel workers known to the trade union movement. The town of Gary is just one of the steel trusts’ numerous properties, and the steel trust backs Coolidge to “keep down the reds,” and prevent the workers from organizing to better their conditions. ; When you buy COAL-— Get Heat, Comfort, and a guarantee of Satisfaction, f ; Call Main 7926 ; 308 Euclid Ave. i i Cleveland Co-operative Coal Co.
