These are the prisoners that haye been held in the Bergen county mand Passaic county jails since the week of September 20 on evidence ,presented only by the police. No charges have been brought against the eleven men by any other persons. The hatred which the police feel ‘toward the strikers for the nation- wide publicity given to the general mlubbing tactics of officers of the law is exceedingly bitter. The strikers need ee logal help and need it badly. Highty €ases are pending on appeal. Picket line arrests mostly on imaginary charges take place continually. It is to take care of all this work that the Joint Commitiee for Passaic Defense was established by the Amer- ican Civil Liberties Union and the international Labor Defense.

Hogan, chief defense coun- sel, attacked the government attor- neys as being “unfair and cruel,” charging they were “persecuting these two patriots for political reasons.” “Is Doheny a crook?” asked Hogan, past master in giving emotional pleas in court. “Would Doheny stoop so low as to bribe a cabinet officer in or- der that he might cheat and swindle the man country tLct he loves. In the name of God, use your ideas of decency and honesty, give us as quick as the law made to that charge,” he pleaded. Tells of “Motherly” Mrs. Doheny.

LOUIS ENGDAHL. HARLES McNARY, Oregon sena- tor, new head of the agricultur- al committee, has introduced a re- vised McNary-Haugen agricultural relief bill in the senate. It will bé the basis for the most intense strug- gle in the present session of con- gress. In the old party political game of “give and take,” every effort will’ be made to log-roll this relief mea- sure, in some form, thru congress. The so-called farm bloc, the repub- lican members of which have desert- ed their insurgency ‘and accepted fa- vors from the “old guard,” must have something tangible’ to calm the discontent of the agrarian west. The Coolidge-Butler-Mellon regime fears the wrath of the “wide open spaces“ that lie to the west of Wall Street, and may agree to @ satis- fartory compromise. see Already the new McNary measure, successor of the ‘ McNary-Haugen bill, appears in congress shorn of many objectionable features. The much fought over equalization fee, that was opposed by the South- erners, remains, but it is assessed* against “each marketed unit” in- ‘stead of against all producers. Chief opposition came from the South, but a compromise was reached. This was shown at the American Farm Bureau Federation gathering in Chicago, where the Southerners agreed to the equalization fee if the Northerners would consent to the private operation of the Muscle Shoals project. The horse trade was agreed to. The “tariff yard- stick” andthe ‘fair and reasonable” price standards of the original McNary-Haugen bill have disappear- ed. The new bill contains no refer- ence to price standards or price levels. It is proposed that there be an appropriation of $250,000,000 for a revolving fund from which loans may be made to commodity stabill- , zation funds in anticipation of col- lection of equalization fees. It is urged that loans be also made di- rectly to co-operatives for handling the surplus. ee ‘The scope of support sought for the McNary bill is shown by the in- clusion of five basic commodities to be benefitted, cotton, wheat, corn, rice and swine. Cattle and butter have been eliminated and rice ap- pears for the first time. The proposed measure hag not yet been introduced in the house of representatives. Representative Hau- gen, heading the house agricultural committee, says he is looking it over. It is declared, however, that the companion bill in the house to the McNary measure in the senate will be fostered by Representative Purnell (republican) Indiana, and Representative Fulmer (democratic) South Carolina. Thus the democrat- ic south joins hands with the repub- licans north in boasted political “non-partisanship.” of. © The tendency of this legislation is to set up an agricultural monopoly or trust. The farmers’ have looked with jealous eyes on the huge pro- fits taken by industry and com- merce, with agriculture being plung- ed more and more into bankruptcy. The demand is made that agricul ture be given the same assistance as industry thru the erection of a high tariff wall that serves two purposes: » (1.) Maintaining the home ma: ket exclusively for home grow! products at high prices; (2) thus enabling American agriculture to compete more successfully with cheaper products in foreign mar kets. In this way it is hoped to dispose of the surplus crops. Jt was this plan that Andrew Mel- lon, the secretary of the treasury, who piled up his many millions in the highly protected industries of the Pittsburgh district, declared WOULD ATTEMPT |Pesue Buti U.S, BUSINESS WAYS IN EUROPE NEW YORK, Dec, 15.— American industrial management methods are to be pushed in Europe by the Inter* national Institute of Industrial Man- agement in co-operation with the In- ternational Labor Bureau of the league of nations, Harold D, Butler of the league labor office told the interna- tional session of the Taylor Societies.

President Coolidge has accepted this view and fought the original McNary- Haugen bill. Since then the farmers have been fighting Coolidge. They are. fight- ing him still. If the farm aid organizations and their supporters in congress cannot get what they want, the question of relief may hot be pushed to a deci- sion in this congress. Instead it is expected that the fight will then be carried into the 1928 elections, with farm aid: supporters striving to get the republican presidential nomina- tion for some anti-Coolidge candi- date. The choice is Frank 0. Low- den, the former governor of Illinois, who has invested some of his sur- plus cash in Illinois corn growing and Arkansas cotton raising. It is claimed that Lowden will get the support of the republican west and the democratic south. It is dif- ficult to see just how this is to be effected in a presidential campaign. It was interesting to see the South- ern democrats whooping it up, for instance, for the Illinois multi-mil- lionaire republican at the recent meeting of the American Farm Bu- feau Federation, hailing him as a “savior.” This comes at the same time that Southern democrats are promising a break with the East- ern democrats under the leadership of Governor Al Smith and Tammany Hall,, throwing in their strength with the demotrats of the West, under the tutelage of William G. Mc- Adoo. Of, course, the democratic divisions also grow out of the fact that “Al” Smith is wet and Catho- lic, whereas the South is dry and protestant. “Al” Smith, also, in the words of the late William Jennings Bryan, is charged with being “the creature of Wall Street,” the enemy of the agrarian South and West. ne farm problem, The therefore, tears at the vitals of the two old// parties. There is little said in the farm organiations, supporting the relief legislation now before con- gress, about independent political action. Here and there the threat of a third party is raised. Careful efforts are made, however, to steer shy of Farmer-Labor unity in the political struggle. eof @ It is significant, however, that in the very week that these so-called * politically “non-partisan” farmers’ organiations launched their fight for farm relief in congress,- also saw the organization of the Progres- sive Farmers of America at the first national convention held at Minne- apolis, Minn. This organization de- clares: °¢ “The producers of wealth and the great combinations of capital have no interests that are identical. The struggle between these two classes will intensify until the toiling mass- es become organized so that they také over the machinery of produc- tion, distribution and exchange to ‘the end that these agencies may be operated in the interest of the many instead of for the benefit of the few.” oe It_must be taken for granted that any Yarm relief legislation that goes thru congress, and that is favored ‘by either one of the old parties, or even by some third party split-off, must inevitably be in ‘the intetests of the well-to-do farmers, the land- lords, the bankers, the railroads and the grain speculators, with no ac- tual relief for the working farmer. ‘The seething struggle over farm aid in congress and within the old par- ties will convince increasing num- ‘bers of ‘those who actually till the soil of this fact. There is a great fleld of activity therefore awaiting the Progressive Farmers of Ameri- ca and the independent - political action that it champions. ~ —_—— WASHINGTON, Dec, 14.—A bill ex- tending the time in which the city of St. Louls may start building a bridge across the Mississippi river to Feb. 11, 1980, was introduced in the house Ps representatives by Representative or. ‘ A bill permitting the city of Quincy, Mil, to build @ bridge across the Mis- sissippi river was introduced by Rep- resentative King of Illinois, Students Show Less Faith Than Faculty NEW YORK.—Religious belief is stronger among the faculty of New York University than in the student Acvealed by @ ballot STRESEMANN IS TREATED COLDLY BY HIS CABINET No “Brass Band’ Meets Geneva Negotiator (Special to The Daily Worker) BERLIN, Dec, 15.—While the Ger- man press seemed satisfied with the results obtained at Geneva’ earlier verely criticized government. officials for their cool reception of foreign min- ister Stresemann on his return from Geneva.
