ULING CLASSES EVERYWHERE USE REIGN OF TERROR orkers Must Come to Aid of Victims The world war has left most of the juropean countries bankrupt. It has undermined the political power of the lruling class. Ever present hunger and misery have created a never ending source of incentive for the working masses to struggle against the rule of the bankrupts. White Terror Reigns. But the ruling classes hold onto |Power by the point of their teeth. Instruments of government are used |by them more than ever as instru- ments of suppression and oppression. Everywhere capitalists have created a united front against danger of rebel- lion of the suffering masses, Under the guise of justice, white, terror is arming itself, trying to arrest the on ward march of the proletariat. Mon- archists and socialists appear arm in arm as defenders of capitalism in » most of the European states. This campaign is designed to wear out the enemies of capitalism. It wants to rob the hosts of the prole- tarians of their most aggressive fight- ers and leaders. It wants to rob the advance guard of the workers of its spirit. It desires to strike terror into the hearts of the dependents of such fighters, so they may prevail on their breadwinners to submit. Demand Release of Political Prisoners. There is only one way to counter- act that campaign. Actions of inter- national solidarity of the workers of the world must assure the victims in the fortresses and penitenflaries of capitalist white terror that they have not suffered in vain. It must assure these victims that their loved ones at home are adopted by the workers of the world. It must prove to them that their suffering finds an echo in the hearts of millions of exploited. This echo must thunder back into the ears of reactionary capitalism every- where the demand: R se political prisoners! The Committee for International Red Aid was created for the purpose of organizing this international action of solidarity. The International Red Aid appeals to the workers of the world for support in this work. Send Aid to Victims of White Terror. Red Aid awaits a generous response. It is sure of political action of the masses to meet the onslaught of the enemy. It expects many contribu- tions to relieve the sufferings of all the victims of white terror, as far ae possible.

Candy Workers’ Union NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—Union candy workers in Astoria, a section of New York, were holding an enthusiastic or- ganization meeting when suddenly the lights went out and five young men were seen rushing up on the stage and stealing the union's books. Union members suspect the foreman of large candy company which is bitter- ly fighting the union's efforts to or- ganize its workers of leading the raid and have asked police to investigate, The workers continued their union meeting with more determination than ever to fight for decent conditions, Gary Talke of Big Army Plans.

Votes Were Stolen. If Farrington had to depend on an honest election in Illinois he would never be elected. The very first time he was declared elected the vote was stolen and the same situation has ob- tained ever since. This time in order to confuse the issue as much as pos- |sible he has resorted to an old poli- tical trick by getting out a number of | “dummies” whose names will appear on the ballot with the idea of confus- ing the voters and pulling votes away from John Hindmarch, the opposition candidate. It is generally conceded that Far- rington cannot carry the Springfield district or central Illinois so in order to muddy the water, the machine has placed on the ballot the name of Tom Londrigatr whose son is on the payroll as attorney for the miners. Tom is an old timer at this game, having been used as a Stalking horse on other oc- casions. Two years ago he ran claim- ing to hail from Staunton, but on in- vestigation it was found that he had not been certified from Staunton and was of the ballot illegally. Some of the members thinking they were vot- ing against Farrington, voted for Lon- drigan only to find he was placed there as a blind. Stools On Ballot. In the present election they have sone one farther by placing the names of two other dummies on the ballot. Matt Hutchinson of Kincaid, and Lance Walker of Springfield. This, it is supposed will confuse the issue and split the strength of Hindmarch and no doubt, it will have that effect with those uninformed on the situatio~ It is noticeable that all of these candi- dates are from the central part of the state where Farrington gets the most of his opposition.

FARRINGTON PLANS ELECTION STEAL that “after awhile you fellows will} get to like me and when I come here | as your district president, eight or | ten years from now you will have a/ good crowd to hear me” or words to that effect. Farrington, Mine Owner. This is an admission, that so long as/| he can control the election machinery he will still be the president. The job} is well-worth going after now as it pays almost five hundred dollars per month and then Farrington knocks down enough in padded expense ac- counts to make the job pay him around a thousand dollars a month. Farrington was never heard of in| the miners’ union like some others un- til it paid a good salary and the pick- {ngs on the side were good. He is also said to have gotten fifty thousand dol- lars’ worth of stock in a certain coal company as it pays them to keep con- trol of the official family in the min- érs’ unfon. In addition to donating the stock the coal companies usually direct their agents to work for the re- election of Farrington and use their influence with the workers in their mines in his behalf. New England Textiles Promises to Start Up With Wage Reduction CLINTON, Mass., Nov. 25.—Follow- ing the precent of other large New England textile mills set upon the election of Coolidge and Dawes, the Lancaster Mills informed their work ers that a 10 per cent wage cut must be accepted.

Good time assured to everybody. numbers no candidate opposes Far- rington as it is considered they can get enough crooked election tellers to con- trol the situation. The rather significant feature of the contest is the fact that one can comb Illinois with a fine tooth comb and not find a member who will admit he ever voted for Farrington, but he is always declared elected. Farrington openly boasts that if no one votes for him he will be the next president anyway. In his campaign four years ago, two years ago and again now makes the bold declaration that “I don’t give a God damn whether you fellows vote for me or not. I'll be your next president anyway.” He fur- ther stated recently in Christopher Res. 1632 S. Trumbull Ave, Phone Rockwell 5060 MORDECAI SHULMAN ATTORNEY-AT-LAW 701 Association Building 19 S.
