P. water power bill through the assembly. Thru Senate. The bill, which provides for a com- mission of five to “investigate” water power development and report back in 1928, passed the senate last night by a vote of 26 to 21, Republican leaders rejected the governor’s suggestion that power development be submitted to voters this fall under a referendum. The governor favors state develop- ment of water power and the distribu- tion of power by a politically friendly private corporation, while the G. O. P. leaders wish to hand over New York's rich power resources themselves to the Andrew D. Mellon interests. Democrats Defiant. When the G. O. P. power bill came up for final action in the senate, Sen-| ator Downing, democratic leader, said: “This bill was introduced for just one purpose—to delay. a solution of this problem and settlement of a state policy relating to power development until a governor more agreeable than the present occupant of that office shall: sit in the governor’s chair.” Governor Smith has declared that he would veto the G. O. P. bill if it should be passed by the legislature. | State power will be exploited by large power interests whether the republi- cans or the democrats come out vic- torious in the present battle. Governor Smith wishes to hand fat contracts for power distribution to the General Electric Company, whose vice president, Owen D. Young, has boosted Smith for president, while the republicans wish to hgnd state powe: resources to the Mellon interests. With the legislature starting to- night on the final week of the session, during which hundreds of bills will be hurriedly passed, it became known that Goy. Smith to date had signed a total of 211 bills already approved by the lawmakers.

There is good reason for thte, There ta good reason why this “labor licu- tenant of the capitalist clause,” who openly appeala to the po- Hee and tho capitaltet government for help against the rank and file, ia furtous in hia attacks upon The DAILY WORKER. Ha realizes that while he and hia ilk have the ear of the cap- tiqliat clase, the co-operation of the capttalist press and the | police, the loft wing commands the support of the rank and file, through ite truated organ, The DAILY WORKER. It t# eaaential that more workers throughout the country be informed as to the inatde etory of the despicable attempts of Green, Woll and Co. to split the labor movement and de- prive it of ite most active and militant elomente. It is essen- tial they know how great is the treachery of theee men and | how completely they have eold themselves to the employers. It ta important most of all that the English-speaking work- | ere know the facte.

The de- nunciation of The DAILY WORKER, by Green, McGrady and the rest will not help these gentlemen a bit. On the con- trary it will stimulate the workers to renewed efforts to build up on a bigger and broader scale the workers’ national organ, America’s labor daily, The DAILY WORKER. —BERT MILLER.
