(By Mail).—With the state primaries over, the parties of tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee, the republicans and democrats, haye now buckled down to action with “clear the decks” as their battle cry. But if they actually mean to clear their decks they have an awful dirty job, for both Mr. David I. Walsh, president of one bank and vice-president of an- other and corporation lawyer for the B. & M, Railroad, who is the demo- | cratic candidate for senator, and Mr. William M. Butler, millionaire public utilities and textile mill owner and Calvin Coolidge’s wire puller, the re- pubican candidate for the same office, have pretty shady records, even if one were to allow for the single fact that they are both candidates of finance and ifdustrial capitalism, Because the fate of Calvin Coolidge lies in the outcome of Massachusetts choice for United States senator, the campaign in behalf of Butler and the whole republican state ticket is pro- ceeding in a most vigorous and ex- pensive manner. A tremendous cam- paign is being waged by the republi- cans, even to the extent of attempts at sacrificing such yankee republican office seekers as Alexander Lincoln and Arthur K. Reading in favor of one of foreign descent, Elijah Adlow, who, the Boston Transcript says, “would make certain on Beacon Hill the sort of co-operation among the executive, legislative and judicial branches that is part and parcel of good govern- ment.” Adlow was republican candi- date for attorney-general in the three- cornered republican primary fight, but lost out in the race. ie Hunt Foreign Vote, The republican state committee has, in an open official statement to the press, implored ite adherents to vote tor Adlow, as against Lincoln and Reading, all three being republicans, not because the machine was opposed to either of the three candidates in the primaries, but because Adlow was a concession to the foreign voting ele- ment which is steadily increasing in this state and which the democrats usually capture, The democrats realize the impor- tance of electing Walsh, who opposes Butler. They realize that with Butler eliminated Coolidge may be elimi- nated as a presidential candidate, which, in turn, will enhance the chances of a national democratic ad- ministration being elected. The con- test in this state has been “pepped” up somewhat with the appearance of a book of “facts” issued as a cam- paign book by the national committee of the democratic party and bears the signatures of Senator Peter Goelet Gerry of Rhode Islanfl and William A. Oldfield of Arkansas, chairmen, re- spectively, of the senate and house congressional campaign committees. This book is intended to furnish am- munition for the speakers of the dem- ocratic party during the next few weeks, Cal Bankrupt, Say Democrats, The book pays its respects to Coo- lidge and his administration by saying that alike in its foreign and domestic Policies, the republican administra- tion, more especially since Coolidge went into the White House, has been morally and intellectually bankrupt. It also takes a crack at the adminis- tration’s subserviency to big business, saying: “The record reveals the administra- tion of government by that party dur- ing the last six years as one which has been consistently subservient to big business, even to the point of packing the trade commission in its interest, which has continually in- creased expenditures on normal gov- ernmental activities, which has failed utterly to deal with such a problem of vital national import as that of farm relief, which has depressed agricul- ture, the textile industry, the small banker and the small merchant, and which has robbed the United States of that world-wide respect we enjoyed during the last democratic administra- tion.” We will send sample coples of The DAILY WORKER to your friende— nd us name and addri The New Issue of the YOUNG WORKER Is Just Off the Press You and your young friends will enjoy it—it’s just full of good stuff—as is every issue!

The lord pointed out that in England exploita- tiom of children from 14-18 years of age is not protected by any laws. A series of investigations showed that little girls work 68 hours a week, and boys 10 hours a day. After dis- cussion on this question, as the paper reports, the proposal brought in by Lord Astor was*taken off the agenda because the majority of the house was against it. This incident is very characteristic not only. for England but also for all other capitalist countries of the old and new continents, It is clear that it is not in the interests of the bour- geolsie to limit the exploitation of child labor which is a very - good source of profits because of the low price by nick is purchased. With the growth of industry child labor is utilized to a much greater extent. And the government of ‘any country would not dare to issue any such law that protects child labor in any way, because this will hurt the interests of the bourgeoisie. In United States of America, for instance, in spite of the insistent demands of various labor organization about pass- ing a law for limitation of child Jabor the government prefers not to bind the capitalists with any’ obligations of such kind. In Germany the law permite chil- dren to work with approval of their parents from seven years on, The German parliament cotld not think of anything more repulsive than such a remark.
