“Saturday, January 17, 1925 FARM CRISIS FORCES ACTION ON MANY STATES No Real Relief Is Yet in Sight (Special to the Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.— The financial distress of the farming population of the coun- try has been forced to the at- tention of most of the state legislatures as well as upon the United States congress. Coolidge has ignored the cry of the farmers for relief and is bitterly opposing farm relief legislation in congress. At the same time that Coolidge spoke against farm relief he author ised secretary of the treasury, Andrew Mellon to approve the program for spending $150,000,000 for public build. ings in Washington, D. C. and other parts of the country. “I am authorized to state,” said Melion,' “That the bill is not inconsis- tent with the financial program of the president.” In his inaugural address John Ham- mill, governor of Iowa, dwelt at length on the extreme poverty of the Iowa farmers. Hammill advocated a plan of co-operative marketing under state control to alleviate the present condi- tion. Nothing good for the farmers will come from such a state law, how- ever, it is said in Des Moines. The agricultural crisis also poked its head in the Indiana legislature now meeting in Indianapolis, when the ag- ricultural committee of the senate met to consider a bill providing for farm. ers’ co-operative marketing. The committee faced the~ opposition of grain dealers and grain elevator men. A similar bill was passed by the last assembly, but was vetoed by Governor McCray. Senator Roland Hill, a grain and coal dealer, is trying to sidetrack the co-operative marketing bill by in- troducing a valueless substitute. The message of Governor Nellie Ross, of Wyoming, first woman gov- ernor in the United States, delivered before the Wyoming state legislature at Cheyenne, stressed the need of fi- nancial relief for the farmers. Mrs. Ross also recommended ratification of the federal child labor law and “equal tights for women.” “Secretary of agricultute, Gore, who {s following out Coolidge’s policy of throwing colfi water on the co-operat- fve marketing organizations, has is- sued a letter to the American farmers, urging that they “give careful consid- eration to the economic need for co- operative organizations before they start marketing ventures on that ba- sis.” , Gotare He ashy Henle fs 2s is whose memory we meet. that Lenin advocated.

There are running nine candidates endorsed At the meeting of the elections committee on Tuesday night, Jan. 14, much progress was reported. All the necessary signatures to place the Com- munist candidates on the ballot will be obtained by Jan. 25, , Getting Candidates on Ballot. The third ward where our colored comrade, L, L. Doty, is candidate and Gordon Owens is captain, is swinging into line. The Eleventh Ward, Victor Zo- kaitis, candidate, has over half of the signatures needed. i The Twenty-Second Ward, Louis Cejka candidate, A. Overgaard, cap tain, reports the same, The Twenty-Fourth Ward, Hyman Epstein, candidate, W. Kruse, captain, will probably get sufficient signatures on the big drive next Sunday. Twenty-Hights Ward, Nick Dozen- berg candidate, August Ozol captain. has done very well, over 400 signa- tures being secured to date. A propa ganda committee of seven is on the job to make the campaign a success and the comrades there are working very hard. In the Thirty-Second Ward, Com: rade Peter Lucas candidate, M. Stolar captain, states that all the comrades are on the job. Thirty-Fourth Ward, Harry Brooker candidate, I. L. Davidson captain, the DAILY WORKER sub campaign is going along very successfully, while also securing petitions, they have set as their aim 200 new subscribers for the DAILY WORKER in this ward. In the Thirty-Fifth, J. Louis Bng- dahl candidate, N. J. Christensen cap- tain, next Sunday should see the ward over the top, and the same goes for the 44th ward where Jack Johnstone is the candidate and Walt Carmon captain. DAILY WORKER Distributed and Subs Gotten. Comrades are all taking bundles of the DAILY WORKER and sub-cards when going out and report some suc- cesses. Bundles are being mailed to the ward headquarters so that com- rades will be certain to take them along in getting signatures. There are two Sundays left to make final drives for signatures. Sunday night, Jan. 25, every signature ob- tained must be in the hands of the ward captain or city organization. The election campaign is also speed- ing up in other directions. Meetings are being scheduled by the captains of the wards, and in addition, arrange- ments are being made to cover -elec- tion meetings and open forum meet- ings of other organizations so that propaganda to the fullest extent may be put forth. Will Cover Many Meetings. An organization called the Chicago public affairs association has arranged for the discussion of a number of mu- nicipal problems in Chicago, chiefly of a middle class character. The meet- ings will be held in public schools, These schools aré available for these Patronize our advertisers. ae sanesennsennscnnnesnsesanesenesennss by the Workers Party. ward captains feel confident that the meetings on first and third Mondays of each month. ) Our comrades everywhere are urged to attend these meetings in order to extend the scope and broaden the agenda and get our message and pro- gram before the meetings. , There is no doubt that despite the petty bourgeois middle class charac: ter of these meetings, working met and women in the neighborhood will be attracted during the campaign to these meetings, and our comrades must therefore reach them with our literature, spoken word and every other way possible. To these so-call- ed open forums, aldermanic candi- dates are to be invited. Meetings under the direction of the Workers (Communist) Party are also being arranged by ward captains. In other columns are listed the schools, location and the wards of the so-called “open forum” meetings scheduled. Further publicity telling what these “open forums” really are will be dealt with in further issues of the DAILY WORKER, To Distribute 50,000 Copies of Communist Program. The municipal program put forward by the Workers (Communist) Party and which the candidates it endorses are supporting, has been summarized in leaflet form. It is expected that 50,000 copies of this leaflet will be dis- tributed in the shops, factories, from house to house and at all other meet- ings possible. This leaflet, dealing especially and plainly with the main issues before the workers, will have the effect of bringing the Communist program be- fore tens of thousands of workers and getting them closer to the Workers (Communist) Party. Every party and Y. W.-L. branch should immediately order these leat- lets thru their branch or ward cap tain and make arrangements for syste- matic distribution. The municipal election campaign being conducted by the © Workers (Communist) Party, Local Chicago, and the aldermanic candidates it en- dorses, links up all phases of the na- tional campaign and issues being con- ducted under the direction of the cen- tral executive committee of the Workers (Communist) Party. ree Campaign to Reach Unions. Efforts are being made to reach the trade unions and other working class organizations on the question of child labor, Sacco-Vanzetti, defense of Ruthenberg and Minor, race discrim. ination, unemployment and many other burning issues. Extended Beyond Parliamentary Activity. Our campaign is not being con- ducted on purely parliamentary lines, but every other avenue of activity is being utilized. The Communist mu- nicipal program is a program which touches the requirements of- every working man and woman of Chicago. But, as our program points out, the only final solution of labor’s prob- lems is to do away with capitalism; to take over political power into their own hands and then take the neces- sary measures to insure control of in- dustry, and work to put the Commun- ist program into effect. Letters are being sent to trade un- ion and other working class organiza tions to enlist them in the support of the candidates endorsed by thc Workers (Communist) Party on the basis of the program set forth. In subsequent issues of the DAILY WORKER there will appear articles dealing with each phase of the pro gram and the progress of the cam- paign. — Res. 1632 8.

The opponents of the child labor amendment are actively carrying out a@ concerted campaign designed to de- feat it in the various state legislatures, While the complicated machinery of the American capitalist government is grinding, the little children are also being ground into profits by the Amer- ican capitalists. The big sum of $50,000 was spent in the state of Massachusetts alone, on a campaign of misrepresentation dur- ing the recent elections. One of the favorite arguments of the money ba- rons against the amendment is that it is fostered by the Communists. That this accusation should be levelled against the Communists proves that the capitalist class realize that the Communists are their only redoubt- able foes. In Russia, the only country in the world where the Com- munist Party is the governing party, there is no child labor. The capitalists know this, therefore they try to frighten liberal elements. who are sentimentally opposed to child labor by raising the cry of “Bolshevism.” Al Smith's Treachery. How little the workers can trust to their alleged friends in the capitalist parties was demonstrated by the ac- tion of Al Smith, governor of New York, who had the support of the A. F. of L. machine in the last election. His opposition on the question of child labor was so reactionary that it even drew a rebuke from the labor leaders, Smith is a catholic and the Roman church is bitterly opposed to any laws that would prohibit the exploitation of little children. So much for organized religion! Even such a notorious reactionary as Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, speaking recently in the senate, de- clared that the moral arguments raised against the amendment by big business was insincere and was only concerned with getting cheap labor, The appearance of James Emery, counsel for the National Association of Manufacturers, as foe of the amend- ment recalls the, Mulhall-Emery. scan- dal of 1913, Rights of Individual!

The notorious reactionary did not express very much consideration for the rights of the in- dividual when a Communist conven- tion was raided in the year 1922 by the stoolpigeons of the department of justice and he is not so very con- cerned over the action of the Michigan supreme court in confirming the con- viction of C. B. Ruthenberg, secretary of the Workers Party, who is sen- tened to from 3 to 10 years in the Penitentiary for merely assembling with his comrades at a convention. Their Own Government The wails of the capitalists and their paid hirelings against interfer- ennce with the rights of the individual comes with poor grace from a class which owns the selfsame government and uses it against the workers every day in the year, There can be no effective stop put to child labor so long as the present robber system exists, It can no more help exploiting children than a fiea- bitten dog can help scratching himself.
