STRIKE INGS ALLIANCE GAINST JOBBERS Foster Tells Strikers to Keep on Picketing NEW YORK CITY, July 29.—Ten more independent manufacturers have @apitulated to terms of the striking cloukmakers and made peace with the Cloa ing a 40-hour week, a minimum of 36 weeks work per year, a ten per cent increase in wages and limitation of contractors. At the same time, the 40,000 strikers gained support from an unusual source, the American Cloak and Suit Manufacturers’ Association, representing the contractors, who join- ed forces with them against manufac- turers and jobbers who refuse to maintain union standards. Contractors Now Allies of Union At a meeting yesterday of a confer- ence committee of contractors and strikers, the contractors voluntarily submitted information to the unionists regarding the few shops still operating in the face of the strike. They are as determined as the workers to make the strike 100 per cent effective, real- izing, they declare, that unless the workers are assured decent conditions in the industry, they themselves can- not survive. Today the contractors are considered as so many foremen working for jobbers who play them against each other in order to reduce wages and costs, At the conference were H. Uvillier, general manager; Samuel O, Beskind, president; and Charles M. Sussman, former president of the American Cloak and Suit Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation; and Louis Hyman, chairman of the Workers’ General Strike Com- mittee; Morris Sigman, president of the I. L. G, W. U., J. Boruchowitz and Charles S. Zimmerman, representing the workers. Foster Speaks To Strikers. William Z. Foster, leader of the fam- ous steel strike of 1919, was the prin- cipal speaker at a series of strike mass meetings addressing enthusiastic au- diences at Hennington Hall, 214 East 2nd Street, and Lenox Assembly Hall, 256 East 2nd Street. He declared: “You will get out of the employers just what you are able to take. There is a new spirit among the strikers, a new militancy. After the lethargy following the war, it is amazing to see unorganized textile workers hold out 26 weeks in Passaic, furriers go thru a long strike and achieve the 40-hour week and now to see the striking cloakmakers determined once and for all to wipe out the deadly menace of the jobber irresponsibility.” Foster called the jobbers the “slip- pery eels” of the industry. The only way to handle an eel, he added amid a good deal of laughter, is to rub sand on one’s hand. Sand means grit, he added, and with the exercise of grit by the workers, they could not fail to handle the jobbers satisfactorily. He admonished the strikers that the strike can be won only on the picket line and urged them to continue to show their strength as they have till the present. Chicago Garment Workers’ Joint Board Answers an Attack (Continued from page v Labor, the Women’s Trade Union League, representatives of the clergy and liberals appeared before Gov- ernor Small more than 45 days ago appealing to him to pardon our mem- bers from the prison where they were serving sentences imposed on them by Judge Dennis EH.

The secretary of the State Federation of Labor, Vic- tor Olander, proved conclusively that the governor, according to the sta tutes of the state constitution, has the full power to pardon in all court proceedings. “‘Up to date we have not heard a world trom Governor Small. The gov- ernor before the last election posed as a friend of labor and surely this was the best opportunity for him to prove his friendship.

Senator Reed will generate considerable indignation over the pollution of the ballot and Insull may think it better to support George E, Brennan for senator than Smith, since George is much more dis- creet and furthermore was law part- ner of the late Roger Sullivan, Insull’s predecessor on the traction and public utilities throne. see ners who owe a lot of money should Zot losé courage and say “Oh, what's the use? I shall never be able to pay it back.” Also those for- tunate people who have money com- ing to them should not feel worried lest thelr debtors should die without remembering them in their last will and testament.

Now this person has shed lustre on his profession by returning with a new fortune of, well over one million, ment of the workers but of the gen- eral freedom loving public could have been aroused. As it was there was not even a newspaper represented at this hearing and no line of news given out by those who had control of the situation. I am of the opinion that Governor Small did not even in- tend to give a pardon to our mem- bers before he agreed to give us an audience for @ hearing. This is the reason that he objected to publicity. Capitalist Politicians. “If after the attack made on me and our joint board, some of our dele- gates did express opposition to back door politics—they had a perfect right to do so—taking into consideration the above mentioned facts. We are not interested to whitewash or boost any politician, It seems to me that the attempt made by some of the delegates and officers of the federa- tion to clear Small and put the blame on Carlstrom is a sign of another po- litical alliance. My contention is that Small and Carlstrom, Sullivan and Fall, Ryner and everyone else of their same calibre are to blame far the violation of the constitutional laws of our country or free speech, free thought and free press, “I therefore have no reason toclean one and strip another one. They all represent the capitalist class and have nothing to do with labor, In the at- tempt to clear Small in the statement which appeared in the July 24 issue of the Federation News, an attempt is made to make us appear as tho we were not a bonafide organization af- fAliated with them, “Let me say this. The officers of the Chicago Federation of Labor know me for quite a number of years and they pretend to have just recently learned that I have some political af- filiations. They have known me as one of the active workers in the trade union movement. In fact I served on the Chicago Federation of Labor or- ganization committee for one full year and neither John Fitzpatrick or any- one else found fault with my trade union activity, Difference of Opinion, “Even at the time when the differ. ences of opinion occurred in our un- fon when eloven of us were expelled from the organization, some of the ue workers, Not only the senti- high officers of the Chicago Federa- a Jout of which he paid his creditors.

Nothing in his Philosophy appeals to demagogical and destructive reds.” That should be enough for Shaw. Bedacht Speaks on Russian Youth.

This internal quarrel in our organiza- tion has been settled. The expulsion policy is defeated. “We are a bonafide organization of the Chicago Federation of Labor. It is true we are not one of the largest. I propose to further organize the un- organized workers in our industry— which we are now doing extensively. We have differences of opinion polit- ically. We have a right to have our differences of opinion, Expulsion Policy, “I am ready to challenge anyone of the Chicago Federation of Labor to Drove to me that I have at any time since I began to attend the meetings of the federation made any request other than a trade union request or one that has to do with furthering the interest of the trade union movement, I refuse to be used as a means to clear a capitalist politician such as Governor Small and his like. I am sure that our membership will stand by their delegation to the Chicago Federation of Labor in their conten- tion that they have a right to their opinions, Propaganda for expulsion and ex- termination of delegates and members who have refused to accept the dic- tates of capitalist politicians has proven to date detrimental to organ- ized labor. We say this because wo speak from experience in our own organization, Statements of the sort that appear in the press,—especially in the official organ of the Chicago Federation of Labor—are detrimental to organization, r “This can be proven by the follow- ing fact: In conference with the em- ployers on July 22, the employers called our attention to this attack and tried to make it appear that we are an expelled body from the official labor movement, “We are, therefore, asking the of- ficers of the Federation to stop the uncalled for attacks on our organiza tion and help us in unionizing the un- organized, in freeing our workers who are still in jail, and defeat the in- junction menace which is § as much @ menace to the rest of the la- bor movement as it is to us,» oe heated SAMUEL INSULL PRISONER IN HIS OWN SANCTUM Traction Magnate Vic- tim of Wasting Disease : (Continued from page 1) 4 next five years. Now, don’t be bashful, Get your share of the kale.” When I entered Sam's: office the genial soul was chuckling to himself. He offered me a seat and a cigar. I accepted both, not wishing to be mean. Not A Fish Fan, “You are from the Fish Fan’s Club are you not?” he asked kindly, not a bit like the harsh way the philanthro- pist was treated by the acid-tongued Senator Reed. “No, I am from The DAILY WORK- ER” I replied, and followed up quickly with “and one of the strongest anti- world courters in Chicago.” Sam jumped to his feet and cheered, “We'll defeat the betrayers of our country yet,” he shouted. “We will carve Washington’s famous admoni- tion: ‘No Entangling Alliances’ over the entrance to the White House, Or better still” he mused, “It will be an electric sign or perhaps, instead of an empty stein the Statue of Liberty should be holding a great illuminated evoss in her hand with that patriotic inscription on it.” Sam Was Acting Funny. I began to fear that the noble man was thinking about the interests of the widows and orphans whose invest- ments he is taking care off. But he reassured me almost immediately. He was back into politics again. “Did you ever run for office’ he asked. “Yes’’ I replied, “but the Irish would rather hang each other separately than stick together, I made the mis- take of selecting Hell’s Kitchen to get defeated from rather than Second Avenue.” “It makes no difference” said Sam, “he that knows enough to run away will live to run some other day, Are you running for anything now?” Ran Into A Collection. “I ran for one of your street cars this morning, but just like my luck, as soon as I caught it, a fuse blew out and the conductor had to take up a collection from the passengers to buy a new one. He said the company was too poor to stand the wear and tear caused by the slush’ tind investiga- tion.” : “To hell with street cars and gas houses,” swore Sam, “money is all gome people think,abént, Do you know what?” He whispered in my ear. “When my stockholders discovered that I spent $150,000 of their money trying to save Ameri¢a from the in- trigues and plots of England, they put a guard over me, and would have sent me to a psycOpathic hospital only they were afraid the news. might leak out and the bottom would fall out of the gas business. But I fooled them. I sent a policeman, that I give a thous- and to now and then, over to the coun- ty jail for a quart of whiskey and the guards are dead drunk in there now. Ha, Ha.” My admiration for the great man increased, “This is the happiest:day of my life” he chuckled. “Did you see those two fellows that just went out with the sacks?” “Yes, who are they?” 1 Faced A Crisis. “I never saw them before, but they are against the world court and can throw the Niles Center vote any where they want, I gave them half a million. Say old pal,” putting his hand affec- tionately on my shoulder, “if you run for president against Sheriff Hoffman, I'll put a cool million behind you. In the meantime you might be able to use $60,000.” Before I had time to holler, there was a terrible commotion outside the door. Angry shouts could be heard. Then the door flew open and two furious men entered. They were the two I had met going out with the money bags. They threw their sacks at Insull’s head and grabbed him, The Worms Returned, “You deceived us you double-cross- ing corruptionist,” one of them shout- ed. As I was about to come to the tric- tion magnate’s defense a side door opened and two giants in uniform ap- peared, They awed the disturbers by a display of arms, They seized Sam gently by the arms and sat him down in a chair, “Take it easy, lad,” they crooned, tickling him under the chin, “Sure it'll be alright.

Senate’s Probe of Ballot Box ROTECT those “higher up,” is the first principle of self-pres- ervation that the forces of capital ism bring into play whenever graft scandals get out of bound. The in- vestigation of primary slush funds by the senate committee now hold- ing sessions in Chicago is no excep- tion. The editorial crooks on the capi- talist newspapers do their best to protect their masters, the industrial and political crooks who spend mil- lions during election campaigns to see that their government functions properly for them, oo. © Thus the Chicago Tribune and Hearst’s Herald and Examiner argue along different lines, but they reach the same goal. Editorials appearing simultaneously in their issues of July 28 reach these conclusions: The Tribune—Colonel Frank L. Smith, who won the republican sen- atorial nomination by spending sev- eral hundred thousand dollars, is declared unfit for the senatorship and his resignation from the office (chairman of the Illinois commerce commission) which he now holds is demanded. No word is uttered de- manding that Samuel Insull, who gave Smith $125,000, should be stripped of his offices, Insull, the bribe giver, the man higher up, must not be touched, Hearst’s Herald-Examiner—It com- pares the facts as brought out by the senate committee with the hear- ings before a Chicago grand jury into local ballot scandals. It de- clares the two investigations are “vitally different in importance.” It says the senate probe concerns “‘po- litical philosophy; the grand jury is investigating political crime.” It gets philosophical about the doings of the higher-ups, at the same time demanding prison terms for the small fry, The game is an old one. The won- der is that workers and farmers are continually taken in by it. 126) The Pennsylvania findings of the senate committee showed that the Mellon interests, seeking to hold po- litical power in the state for the coal, steel and railroad tyranny, were the greatest corruptionists. The facts already brought out in Chicago show that the power, gas and electric railroad interests, head- ed by Samuel Insull, greased the po- litical ambitions of its various politi- cal tools in Illinois. Insull gave money alike to Smith, the republi- can, and Brennan, the democrat, and even contributed to the Deneen re- publican machine that was support- ing McKinley, a third senatorial can- didate, altho perhaps the power magnate didn’t intend it to aid the election of his business rival, Smith got $125,000 from Insull, is the hysterical] note sounded by the Tribune, therefore Smith must go. The Tribune, however, infers that it will support Brennan, the demo- erat, who also got a slice of the Insull riches. The Tribune does not suggest to the rich stockholders, who have placed Insull in power, that Insull be deposed. Evidently the stockholders are satisfied with Insull’s judicious expenditure of cor- Corruption By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL. poration funds in the political game to insure or increase their profits. The Tribune owners no doubt hold some of this stock and feel that George Brennan, like Roger Sulli- van before him, is safer as he has proved cheaper than Smith. The Tribune wishes to protect Insull, the capitalist. That is all the more reason why labor should realize that it must strike at the higher-ups, at the Insulls, and at the capitalist social system that breeds them, Ce ie Then the Hearst sheet. It glories in Insull’s efforts to fairly answer all of Senator Reed’s questions in comparison with the evasive an- swers of the little political fish who are in bad as a result of a grand jury probe of vote stealing locally. The Herald-Examiner laments that Morris Bller, the boss of the 20th ward, should claim that he collected no funds, kept no books and knew nothing of vote-stealing. The Hearst sheet draws this fine distinction: “In the senatorial campaign inves- tigation the facts sought are of con- tributions. In the local primaries the facts sought are of manipula- tion. One concerns a matter of judgment; the other concerns a question of crime. One is a matter, when all is said and done, princi- pally of curiosity; the other is a matter of disfranchisement of thou- sands.” a J Es Morris Eller is a sanitary district trustee and belongs to the Crowe- Barrett faction of the republican party. This faction supported Smith for the senatorship, It was Morris Eller and others like him that helped spend Smith's quarter million dollar slush fund. The Hearst editorial morons seem to think that the precinct captains and the ward bosses spent their own money. Thousands of voters no doubt were disfranchised. But while the actual dirty work was done by the Ellers and the Hoch- steins, it was bought and paid for by the Insulls in Illinois, and the Mellons in Pennsylvania, contribut- ing to the campaign funds of the Brennans, the Smiths and the Vares. “** Even in the light of capitalist law the Hllers are criminals. But so are the Insulls. They join in de- bauching the electorate. Senator Reed, of Missouri, who is conducting the investigation, is not interested in pushing this big fact into the limelight. He is only inter- ested in magnifying the differences within the republican party for the benefit of equally crooked demo- cratic candidates. Workers and farmers must dis- cover that the whole putrid mess gives forth a foul smell that arises alike from the democratic and re- publican folds, The exposures are therefore only useful in that they reveal the man- ner in which the great capitalists conduct their political maneuvers to control their government that func- tions exclusively for their capitalist interests. This government must be completely abolished by labor act- ing as a class struggling on behalf of its own class interests. « opholous from Walgreen’s drug store, instead of hootch.

He dealtiat all times strictly in cash.” “Is there any danger in your let- ting your right hand know what your left is doing?” Reed inquired. “No, but I never let it know,” Cun ningham retorted, Looking For Cunningham. The senate committee sleuths have been prowling for Cunningham for a month, but could not locate him. He refused to say where he spent his vacation, with whom, or whether he left Philadelphia for his vacation in an automobile, in an airplane, on foot or on a mule. It was nobody‘s busi- ness! A Sentimental Soul! The reason he supported Vare for senator and Beidelman for governor is because both were boyhood friends, “Eddie Beidelman and Bill Va were like brothers to me,” he said, What looked like a tear seemed to glisten from his eye for a moment. But the soft-hearted Pennsylvania “Insull” conquered his emotion and resumed his normally hard-boiled at- titude, A mild sensation was caused when Senator Reed called Brookhart to the stand. The Iowan happened to be in the courtroom as a spectator, tho the wily Reed may have met him on the previous evening at a pinochle party and suggested that he might drop around. They Were Surprised. Brookhart told the startled Cook county politicians who occupied the spectators’ seats that he won a nom- ination in Iowa for $6,000. “You don't need money,” he said, “when you stand fgr something.” That was all. When Treasurer Barrett of the Crowe republican faction got off the witness stand the sum of $175,000 was added to the already tabulated slush fund. ‘This makes a complete tally to date of $965,532. Where Did He Get It? Reed persisted in his effort to learn from Cunningham where he got the money he contributed to the Vare war chest. “Anything wrong or crooked about the way this money was secured?” asked the senator, Objection. “If I asked you if the way in which you secured this money would sub- ject you to criminal prosecution, or public obloquy, would you answer?” More objections from Cunningham's attorney. as Threatened Attorney. Finally Reed told the attorney that unless he conducted himself different- ly, he would be asked to leave his seat at the table. He did not leave. He stuck to his retainer. Before Cunningham took the stand Charles V. Barrett of the Crowe-Bar- rett faction gave a list of contribu- tions to his county treasury. In the list was a $10,000 donation from Samuel Insull, which brought the total of that gentleman’s contributions to all candidates to $193,735.19. Had Good Technique. State’s Attorney Robert EB. Crowe had an easy time on the stand, Small in stature and rather weak voiced, this canny politician demonstrated that there are two ways of conducting oneself on the witness stand. One is to answer all unimportant questions willingly and to talk volubly. The other is not to answer any questions with good grace, thereby getting the inquisitor’s temper up. Being a prose- cutor and former judge, Crowe chose his favorite method. It is also im- portant to note that Reed did not ap- pear to press Crowe for information that might reflect on the political honor of the Crowe-Barrett faction. The Aragon Killers, Crowe is as much opposed to the world court as Samuel Insull. He would not butt into the senatorial race at all but for McKinley's action in voting for the world court, Then Wil- Ham Hale Thompson and Crowe got busy and went out to slay the dragon. This operation required funds, and Thompson gave Crowe $25,000, which “Big Bill” received from Allen Moore, the Smith treasurer. Attorney Genes al Carlstrom contributed $10,000 te ward the expense of Joseph P. Say- she nomination campaign for county Explaining why he went to the trouble of raising $15,000 for Savage's campaign fund, Crowe said: The Reason Why. “Savage was a young man and had no funds, I liked him and helped to get some campaign funds,” The Crowe organization in the 29th ward raised between $6,000 and $7,000, Crowe testified. Crowe's parting shot on the witness stand was; “Personalities did not en- ter into my decision in the senatorial campaign, I thought the world court question was so important an issue that I would have supported the candi- date opposed to it if he didn’t con tribute a dime and I wouldn't have supported @ court candidate if he paid for the whole campaign.” “It's refreshing to find a man with such sentiments,” Reed smilingly re- marked, It is to ws H “ay
