Saturday, October 18, 1924 PLANNING MANY MASS MEETINGS IN POLL DRIVE Chicago Congressional Campaigns Get Up Pep ie indoor mass meetings are to be conducted thruout the entire city of Chicago, in the Workers Party congressional campaign as soon as the open air mass meetings discontinue because of chilly weather, Mar- tin Abern announced yesterday. Gordon Owens, Negro candi- date for congress on the South Side, whose campaign has drawn hundreds of Negro work- ers into the Communist fold, will speak at a monster mass meeting Oct. 30, in the Com- munity Center Hall, 3201 §s. Wabash Ave. Jack Johnstone, Workers Party candidate for congress from the 9th district, will speak at this mass meeting. Congressional Fights Warm Up. The Communist campaign waxes hot also in the 8th, 9th, 4th and 7th con- gressional districts, among others. In- door meetings are being held regularly once a week in the 7th district, at which Samuel Hammersmark, the Communist standard bearer in that district, is the principle speaker These meetings are held at 1902 W. Division street. J. W. Johnstone, Workers Party candidate for congress in the 9th dis- trict, will be the main speaker at Imperial Hall, in a mass meeting, Sun- day, Oct. 26. The Workers Party in the 9th district with George Maurer as the Communist candidate, and the 4th district where Joseph Podkulski is the Communist candidate, is also conduct- ing a whirlwind campaign. »More than 25,000 special Chicago editions of the DAILY WORKER were distributed by the Chicago Commun- ists to advertise the Foster-Gitlow meeting held in the Ashland Auditor- jum last Sunday, Many new members THE WORLD’S GREATEST TONIC ~ iE DAILY WORKER Farrington In Big Land Deal With Mine Owners (Continued from Page 1.) trade’ union movement of this country is a long record of service rendered to the working class. Dunne is running dn the Communist ticket. He is the candidate of the Workers Party and as such is out- side the pale of Farrington and the other labor fakers. The Workers Party is the’ party of the workers and exploited farmers. It is not pur- chasing votes or endorsements and furthermore, it is a terrible chal- lenge to the system on which sewer rats who are in the business of selling the workers, thrive on. Will Repudiate Grafter, Farrington sells his influence to Small in 1924°as he sold it to Smith in 1916. But the rank and file of the Iiiinois miners are not going to fol- low Small into the thieves’ den of capitalist politics. They will repudiate Farrington and his alliance with the open shop brigade as they did his deal with Smith in 1916. Another violation of the constitu- tion that Farrington was guilty of was his giving to Frank L. Smith, the dem- ocratic candidate for governor, a com- plete list of the secretaries of the Il- linois miners’ union and also a list of the members who had attended con- ventions. For this he was well paid. The: Broken Article. Section six, article XX, of the inter- national constitution reads as follows: “Any member of the United Mine Workers of America who furnishes a complete or partial list of our mem- bership to any person or persons, ex- raiapepenicniiatt cept to those whose official business requires them to have such a list, shall be subject to a fine of ten dollars and be debarred from holding office in the organization for a period of one year.” This little thing did. not bother Far- rington’s conscience in the least. It was a part of his business and his business as head of the miners’ union is to make money. The coal diggers of Illinois who pay Farrington’s salary consider them- selves fortunate if they have enough space around their shacks to grow a few vegetables on. It is safe to say. that none of them have orange groves in Alabama, Some progress since the days Frank Farrington worked at the mine in Streator! The Orange Groves. A document issued from Indianapo- lis, tells the story of Farrington’s holdings in Alabama. It reads as fol- lows: “Frank Farrington, president of the Illinois Mine Workers, is the owner of the following described land purchas- ed from the Horticultural Develop- ment company, a corporation organiz- ed under the laws of the state of Ala- bama and holding lands suitable for the growing of pecans and oranges in Mobile county, Alabama: “7-81-16, Recorded 8-4-16, Deed Book 170, page 183, to Frank Farrington, Springfield, Ill.

Another special Chicago edition of the DAILY WORKER, to celebrate the seventh anniversary of the founding of the Russian Soviet government, will be distributed by the Chicago Work- ers Party members in time to reach the workers before election day. All voters who signed the petitions to place the Communist candidates on the ballots are being sent literatura advising them of the activities of the party and of the DAILY WORKER, and asking them to join the Commun- ist ranks.

Proof that money was used to se- eure the exoneration of Farrington at the special convention, is in the testimony of one Peter Smith of Pan- ama, The following is part of that testimony: Purchased Support. “They told me that Farrington’s honesty had been questioned and that Farrington was to be tried in a spe- cial convention. They told me that there was money to be distributed to clear Farrington. They asked me if I was willing to make friends with Farrington. I’said if a man wanted to shake hands with me I was will- ing to meet him half way. Then they presented a ten dollar bill to me and told me that was Farrington’s money. I told them 1 didn’t want to accept no such stuff as that but they said unless I would take it that 1 could not prove where [ would be a friend ot Farrington. “The conversation had dropped for half an hour or more.

Auto a Handicap. Ramsay MacDonald is finding his “endowed automobile” anything but an asset to him in this campaign. ‘While his health may be conserved thru its use rather than the use of the subways, the workers are leary about accepting the excuses of the social- democrats and pink radicals, that because it is a common thing in Eng- land to, accept the benevoléfice of a wealthy “angel” Ramsay's conduct should not be used against him by the Communists.
