jy em Wednesday, December 17, 1924 SE: ISTMAS REMEMBRIINCE ~ FOR SLASS WAR PIRISONERS URGED BY DAILY WORKER There are 128 political prisoners in, the United States whose names are registered with the DAILY WORKER. We know that| 4, there are hundreds of readers who will be anxious to join in a| 1698 little Christmas remembrance to those, men who are in prison for the cause of the proletariat. The DAILY WORKER wants to co-operate with its readers in sending: such a remembrance to each prisoner. If you have ever been in prison ycar will know that the great | hunger of those inside is for contact with the world, for news, and for reading matter that will fit them to better carry on the struggle when they come out again. Every prisoner that is on raterateronetenteinetteemenentinr our list will appreciate heartily receiving the DAILY WORKER and the WORKERS MONTHLY. Most of them have been getting the DAILY WORKER by co-operation of our readers and the paper, but these subscriptions are now most of them expiring. They must be renewed for the coming year and subseriptions to the Workers’ Monthly added. One year’s subscyiption for both publications amounts to $8.00. The DAILY WORKER agrees to contri- bute one-fourth of this amount on each subscription for the political pris- oners if our readers will among them- selves assume the three-fourths. That is, for each $6.00 donated to Christmas fund for political prisoners, the DAILY WORKER will send $8.00 worth of subscriptions. Here is the list of politics] prison- ers. You can help, either by picking out some particular name aind send- ing in $6.00 for one year’s subscrip- tion, or $3.00 for six months. Or you can send in the money, and we will assign it for you to a prisoner who has not yet been caned for, ard notify you who receives your ‘Christmas Presents, Or you aan send amy gsmall- er amount and it will be combined with other small contributions to com- plete the list. We must see that every prisoner receives the DAILY WORK- ER and the Workers’ Monthly for the year 1925. Send im your contri- bution and mark upon the envelope “FOR THE POLITICAL PRISONERS’ CHRISTMAS FUND.” List of Political and Class War Prisoners. .

NEW BILL FOR POSTAL CLERKS BEFORE SENATE Newspaper Antagonism Banked on to Kill It (Special to The. Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. '116,—An attempt will again be made to kill the postoffice work- ers’ salary increase bill in the senate tomorrow, when Senator Sterling, chairman of the post. office committee, at the wish of President Coolidge, combines the bill with Coolidge’s intended postal rate raise, The bill, according to Sterl- ing, will be introduced as a joint measure in the senate Tuesday, Bill Affects Newspapers Mainly. Postmaster General New has recom: mended the raise in the rates of sec- ond, third and fourth class mail sorv- ice, to total $68,000,000, This is an- other step of Coolidge in the attempt to prevent the postal bill from pass- ing the senate over his veto of the bill, The proposed raise in postal rates, announced by Coolidge as necessary to meet the pay increase of postal employes, affects mainly the mailing charges on Lewspapers. It is plan- otherwise stated all the steamer “Orient” of the Orient | ™¢tnss are at 8 p. m.) Steamship Co. The port of destina- tion is Novorossisk. An additional shipment of 150 tractors destined for Novorossisk will leave New York ear- ly in January next. This is the second large purchase of tractors for Russia in this country concluded thru the Amtorg Trading Corp. As the first shipment of 1,000 tractors which was made on August 27, the new purchase is a part of the agricultural reconstruction program which is being carried out by the Sov- iet authorities on a large scale. In- formation from Russia shows that the demand for tractors’ among the pea- sant population is eonstantly increas- ing. Hardy, Jack Lucelle, Winfred Parent, Bob Pease, Neils Randquist.

Prosperity? NEW YORK, Dee, 16.—Two sailors belonging to the marine transport workers came into the office one day reporting jobs scarce along the water- front. Two more come in the next day with a similar report. Ships are going in and out of the harbor to various points on the globe but not enough ships seem to be leaving to take all the sailors who want to go Unemployment is hitting the marine industry as well as others, —_—— ROGERS. POKES FUN AT BOSSES FOR A LIVING But Even Kings Had Their Court Jesters By ESTHER LOWELL. (Federated Press Review,) Cal Coolidge never gets in bad, says the irrepressible Will Rogers, because “if a man will just stay hushed he is hard to find out.” The cowboy humor- ist of stage, screen and presgssayes the Scandals of 1924, including the famous oil lease investigation of the senate, from the complete oblivion in which contemporary historians have shrouded them. His book, the Illit crate Digest, is @ pungent, piercing griticism of politics, government ané life, with the sting softened by laughter, Most politicians are cal loused enough—or dull-witted enough ~to enjoy Rogers’ cracks even when he hits them roundly, because they accept their crooked business as regu lar and consider the cowboy only e jester anyway. Like court-jesters of old his wit is double-edged. Now to Get Soup, Will says “you got to admit that each party is worse than the other.” He would have Henry Ford run the government along with his factory “and instead of seeds every spring mail out those Things of his.” In tak- ing one of New York’s critics to task on soup-eating he reminds him, “ ‘Pers that the question of the world today is, not how to eat soup, but how to get soup to eat,” “One Oil Lawyer Per Barrel” speaks for itself as a title, Doheny’s reported remark that he would “make 100 million out of the Elk Hills leage” Rogers claims “will go down in history as the highest priced gag ever pulled,” Children in future years will ask their parents how much they got in the great year of 1924, Rogers says. Read him if you want some fun. N. Y. Young Workers League Membership Meeting _on Dec. 18 NEW YORK, Dec. 16,—-The Young Workers’ League of District No. 2, will ‘old a membership meeting on Thurs- lay, December 18, at Stuyvesant Ca- sino, 142 Second Ave., near 9th St. The meeting will in addition to taking up the problems of the Y. W. , particularly those dealing with the sresent compaign that the league is vonducting, (membership drive, shop nucleus organization drive and fund for Weekly Young Worker drive) also take up the problem now being dis- cussed in the Workers Party, the farmer-labor party slogan and our at titude toward this movement, Every member of the Y. W. L. of District No, 2 must attend. Out ot town branches should be represented at this meeting. Workers Party members are wel- come, -_ $8.50 Weekly Textile Minimum. LONDON.—-Minimum wages of 37 shillings ($8.50) a week for adult women workers in the London textile district and of 63 shillings ($1449) » week for adult men were ratified the organized workers enrolled in the London Wholesale Textile branch of the Shop Assistants’ Union. The new Wago rates, minimum and maximum, give increases of 17c to $1.15 a week ned by the Coolidge administration to introduce the bills jointly, and thus swing the newspapers of the country both against the postal rate raise and also against the raise in postal employes wages. This backing of the kept press will swing the wav- ering senators into line, according to Coolidge, and defeat a raise in wages for the postal workers. Cut Wages to Buy Gunes, It is noticeable that Coolidge's eco nomy program keeps governmental wages at their present low level, and drastically reduces the appropriations for ex-soldiers’ hospitals and pension funds, while it calls for exhorbitant expenditures on the army and navy. Senator Edge of New Jersey, who was in charge of the measure, made a previous attempt to betray the post- al employes when he proposed that unanimous consent be given to take up the passage of the bill on Feb ruary 2, a delay which would have been fatal to chances of acting on the bill. Edge’s plan was frustrated when Couzens of Michigan objected to giv- ing unanimous consent. Coolidge and- Butler have been working on Edge ever since election They finally induced him to take the decisive step of seeking to delay ac tion until Coolidge should swing enough patronage controlled votes in congress to insure its defeat.
