PUT ON INCOME _TAX PUBLICITY Exposure of Profiteers Is Too Dangerous (Special to The Dallw Worker) WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.— he big. bow-wows of the cap- ltalist system are much wrought up over the pubiication of hames of income-tax payers to- gether with the amounts paid. The leading figure of the cap- list government, little Silent Cal, called his cabinet into folemn session yesterday to pegs ways and means of iow to stop the exposure of the fustomary profiteering com- fMitted by profit-taking from Wage labor. Following the method of trying to buppress the scandalous graft of the Yeapot Dome governmental crooks the administration of Coolidge is now Qndeavoring to hush up publicity Showing how much each capitalist is tetting out of the hides of the work- ng class, not in any special illegal but in the legalized, customary ay capitalists have of getting rich y paying wage labor barely enough lo keep alive and taking all the sur- plus values produced for themselves. Desperately Search for Law. Attorney General Stone, successor fo the malodorous Daugherty, is doing @ll he can to find a law to use as an excuse to force the newspapers to top publishing the names and details. niuckily the espionage act is repeal- ed, or the government could say it was interfering with the war on the kai- ber. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon one of the biggest capitalist exploiters nd bankers of the country, said to- flay that he knows that even if there fs no law to prevent publication of capitalist profits, there is certainly no law compelling such exposure, and he thinks that capitalist newspepers ought to have more sense than to ex- pose other capitalists to the working class. The capitalist department of justice says that it is going to issue a statement about it at once. From various points reports state that the workers are in high glee at this exposure, brought about by the competition between and rivalry with ‘one capitalist towards another, and efforts of the petty bourgeoisie to Night the big capitalists. Some work- ers are clamoring to know even what fnoome and its sources supply LaFol- lette and his immediate family with luxurious and special cars to tour the Yountry. (Special to The PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 30.—A challenge to debate election issues was sent the LaFollette campaign committee by the dis- trict committee of the Workers here addressed by C. E. Ruthen- berg, executive secretary of the Workers Party who exposed the LaFollette illusion before an audience of 600, many of them LaFollette followers. Speaks at Carnegie Hall. Ruthenberg’s meeting was held in the north side Carnegie Hall, and many questions put t6 the speaker by LaFollette followers were answered in a way that brought home the anti- labor and capitalist nature of the fake progressive. Some workers, indeed, demonstra- tively tore off the LaFollette button, then were wearing and demanded Foster-Gitlow buttons to show their conversion to Communist principles. The Cahallenge to LaFollette. As A. J. McNamara, head of the Pittsburgh LaFollette forces, had been challenging the republicans to debate, the Workers Party in the following letter asked them to join issues with the Communists: “LaFollette-Wheeler Campaign Com- mittee of Allegheny County. “Gentlemen:—The present presi- dential election is of more than or- dinary importanée to the ‘working class of the United States. The masses of the workers @re discon- tented and are politically on the move. “They have learned from repeated bitter experiences that they cannot expect to gain anything from the rule of the parties of Wall Street, the two old parties dominated by the small group of financiers and industrial mag- nates who own and control the bulk of the wealth of this country. “The rights of workers violated, strikes crushed by the use of injunc- tions, of the army and of the police forces, growing imperialism and in- creasing armaments, widespread un- employment—these are the blessings bestowed on the American working class by the U. S. government oper- ated alternately by the republican and democratic parties, The Only Vital Issue. “The workers are at last breaking away from their traditional political affiliations and are seeking new po- litical leadership. They are giving serious consideration to the claims of the two groups contending for their support. You are trying to corral the discontent of the workers in support of the LaFollette-Wheeler ticket. We, the Workers (Communist) Party, contend that ours is the only party truly representing the interests of the working class.

We contend that for the working class the only vital issue is the question of private, capitalistic ownership of the means of production and distribution versus social ownership and the operation of industries under workers’ control and for the benefit of the producers. State the Issue. “On behalf of the Pittsburgh dis- trict organization of the Workers (Communist) Party, I challenge your committee to select a spokesman for your side to debate with a representa- tive of the Workers Party the issues of the election on the basis of the fol- lowing resolution: “ ‘Resolved that the LaFollette plat- | form and the LaFollette-Wheeler | ticket do not represent the interests of the working class.’ “The issues raised by this challenge are of great interest to every work- ingman and woman, and I trust that you will not follow the example of Mr. Gardner of the republican party, who ignored the challenge of your chairman. You will find me ready at any time to meet with a representa- tive of your committee to settle the technical details.

Washington Bivd., Chicago, Ill. 15th U. S. INFANTRY ORDERED TO TAKE FIELD FOR MORGAN IN CHINA —_— (Special to The Daily Worker) TIEN TSIN, China, Oct. 30.—The armed forces of American imperialism are ordered into action to assist America’s tool, Wu Pei Fu, to regain Peking from the turn-coat instrument of Japan, the “Christian” General, Feng Yu- hsiang. The 15th U. S. infantry regiment was ordered yesterday to take the field in order to open the railway line between Tien Tsin and Peking. Charge @’Affairs Ferdinand L. Mayer has¢———————____. been in communication with Secre- tary Hughes, with this result. While this is done ostensibly to “protect the railway line” between the two cities under authorization from the “diplomatic corps” acting under the humiliating protocol thrust down China’s throat in 1901, the purpose is plain that American and British in- terests stand to gain by opening the way for Wu Pei Fu’s troops to take Peking. News from Japan shows tremend- ous activity in supplying war materials to Chang Tso-Lin, and thru him to General Feng. It is admitted that tens of millions of dollars are being given to Chang in money as well as unlimited munitions, At Peking, Tsao Kun, imprisoned in his palace after being forced to re- sign, is calling for American assist- ance. His bodyguard is disarmed by Feng’s soldiers and, fearing assassin- ation he has asked that American troops -be allotted from the embassy to protect his life.
