HUNDREDS STARVE
AS FOOD SCARS
Babies Dying of Hunger and Girls
Are Forced Into Lives
of Shame

NEW YORK.-Increases in the cost
of food are causing tragedies far
worse than death on the East Side
This statement was made by Harry
Schladt, superintendent of the East
Side Protective Association, in his an
nual report to the board of directors.
Babies are dying of starvation" he
said. Hundreds of school children
are going hungry and not sufficient
ly nourished to carry on their work,
while the high cost of food is driving
many innocent girls into lives of
shame"
Schladt cited specific cases, and said
there are now on the lists of his or
ganization the names of 200 persons
in actual danger of starvation.

cialists off the board, as nine times
out of ten the Socialists are the most
efficient members Of the board.
AS the matter now stands, we find
that there are election boards COM
posed of people who are so inefficient
that there is bound to be several bun
giles. The primary election was bun
gled enough, but the general will be
worse.
Socialists everywhere should rem
der service to the cause by acting as
watchers during the counting of the
ballots. If you are not already or
gained for this job, then get busy
and hunt up one or two Socialists to
help take turns in watching the count.
Get your forces ready now. Keep
your eyes skinned for dirty work and
jump on the fellow that does it.
Every Socialist muse be awake on
election day. You have a perfect
right to act as watcher in the booth
on that day. 1t may put you to lit
tie trouble but THIS IS AN IMPOR-
TANT MATTER and must be taken
care of. Line up your forces. Have
someone on the job ALL the time.
Watch the person who is calling off
and watch the person who is making
the tally.

MACHINE GUNS USED
IN BAYONNE STRIKE

Information that seeped from in
side the Tidewater plant, at the Dor
der of the Hook" revealed that 1900
company guards, armed with Win
chesters, were on duty behind the
stockade, and that over fifteen ma
chine guns were planted in conceal
ment at all approaches.
In addition to these precautions, at
the entrance streets several hoses
coupled to supplies of live steam were
in place, threatening hideous death
to any storming party.
Big Cameras as Spies
The police and oil companies de-
vised an original expedient for get
ting strikers by the hundred under
charges of crime. Great cameras, with
tremendously strong lenses, effect
this purpose. The instruments were
operated from the top of the Tidewa-
ter stockade, and their lenses record
ed faces 200 yards distant.
Pictured Men Arrested
At police headquarters scores of
pictures taken by these cameras are
on hand, and strikers are being picked
up to face the mysterious charges the
pictures represent. About ten sus-
poets, gathered from their homes or
blocks from the strike zone, were ar
raigned before Recorder William
Cain. Wholly unaware of why they
were arrested and conscious of abso-
lutte innocence, these men one by one
heard to their amazement they were
charged with sniping.
Though the pictures were not re-
vealed, it was learned they visualized
the strikers standing on roof tops.
Standing on roof top, in the mind
of the police, makes a sniper of a
man.

PRODUCING MINER
RUINED BY TRUST
Smelter Corporation DiscOur-
ages Enterprise of Individual
Mining Man

The boosters in Colorado are ask
ing why the hills and mountains of
the state are no longer filled with
prospectors searching ffor precious
metals and various suggestions have
been made by superficial business
men to induce return of the activi-
ties of former days.
Talking to an old prospector in Sa-
Ida he made it clear as to the cause
of the dearth of prospectors and the
paralysis of recent years, in two
words it is the Smelter trust.
This old-timer told of hole he has
in the Sangre de Cristo range near
Salida Of which the first samples of
the ore assayed SCI. But when he
put on teams and began to haul it in
to the smelter it brought only $18 and
the mill charges were So, netting him
only $40.
Trust smelters allow just what they
please until men abandon their claims
or sell out to them.
Some years ago, according to the
same prospector, an independent
smelter was erected in Salida, where
the workers were to work three shifts
of eight hours each.
1t operated in this manner for a few
months when the notice was sudden
ly posted that from the next day on
there would be only two shifts of II
hours each.
When the employees gathered to
protest to the superintendent he said
he was only too willing to continue
the old system but he had his orders
and to satisfy the men, exhibited a
letter from the trust telling the own
ers at that time that if they did not
adopt the two shifts of IL hours each,
the same as was in operation in Pu-
eblo, they could not get any more
coal, there was no other alternative
but to comply with the trusts orders.
The producing miner of today is
just as helplessly in the tolls of the
Smelter trust as the farmers of the
Northwest are in the tolls of the ele-
vator and the mill trust, and the only
way out is to establish and operate
publicly owned smelters, and when
this is done, Colorado will again ex-
cite the world by bringing forth its
marvellous wealth lying still undevel-
oped.

EUGENE Y. DEBS
EVOKES HIGHEST
ENTHUSIASM
Thousands in Indiana
Cheer Telling Blows
At Capitalism
By Maynard Shipley
associate Campaign Manager, Fifth
District, Indiana.)

DlSCrlct, lnd1ana.)
On September 16 Comrade Debs be-
gan his congressional campaign tour
under the most happy auspices. Four
towns were made the first day, two
the second, six on the third, and three
on the fourth, which will give an
average of four or five speeches a
day to start out with, until my throat
gets toughened up" said Debs, half
alphabetically. At all places the en-
thusiasm of his auditors ran high.
Perhaps it will be interesting to
Comrades everywhere to hear more in
detail of one or two places.
On Sunday morning the Debs party
was met, about four miles out from
Universal, by brass band, composed
of union miners, riding in automobiles
draped with "Debs for Congress" ban
ners. AS they approached the little
mining town, fifteen hundred people
greeted our candidate with hearty and
prolonged cheers. 1t was a great
meeting in every respect. Comrade
Debs was at his best, and was inter-
upted frequently by hand-clapping
and cheers. An immense amount of
literature was sold, and over thous-
and leaflets distributed.
At three o'clock our veteran fighter
in the Cause was introduced by Com
rade W, H. Henry, State Secretary of
the Indiana Organization, and was
greeted by round after round of APP
plause from the threats of five thous-
and wage-workers. 1t was a grand
and inspiring meeting, full of prom
Use for November 7th.
Before election day, Comrade Debs
will have spoken in every village
town, city, and in some cases even
crossroads, of the Fifth District.

IBLACKMAH IS
CHARGED IN BOMB
TRIAL AT FRISCO
Claim the District Attorneys
Threat of Arrest Caused
Man to Retract Affidavit

SAN FRANCISCO.-That threats
of arrest and imprisonment were used
by the district attorneys office to Sc
cure the retraction of affidavits fav-
orable to Warren K. Billings was the
charge in sworn statement present
ed to Superior Judge Frank Dunno by
Attorney Maxwell McNutt, Billings
lawyer.
The new affidavit, unfolding his
original testimony, was signed by
Dan D. Donaldson, whose testimony
was depended on to build an alibi for
Billings at retrial, so far as his
presence at 721 Market street on the
day of the bomb explosion was con-
cerned.
In the new affidavit Donaldson
stated that shortly after his original
affidavit was read in court Detective
Hand of the police department came
to Vallejo ond insisted on his coming
to the hall of justice in this city to
discuss his affidavit.
Pressure Is Used
At the hall of justice, he said,
Brennan joined the party who ques-
toned him about his first affidavit,
and told him he was liable to be lock-
ed up, with no chance of bail, if he
did not change his affidavit. He re-
fused to make the change demanded,
saying his affidavit was true to the
best of his knowledge.
Early this week, Donaldson says
five men called on the Mare Island
commandant and said that unless the
affidavit was Strengthened out the
judge would issue a warrant for my
arrest on charge of perjury"
After repeated threats, Donaldson
asserts, the five, among whom was
Cunha, took him to the office of Ma
yor Rooney in Vallejo and made him
sign a new affidavit, repudiating the
one he had given to McNutt.
New Trial Refused
"Cunha and Officer Hand stated
that unless | repudiated my affidavit
| would be arrested and held on such
bail that | couldn't get out, and Nc
Mutt would not be man enough to APP
pear and bail me out" read Donald
sons affidavit. 81 never slept for two
nights worrying over the darn thing
he added. "Cunha insisted that tell
him about the money end-how much
you had promised me or how much
got from you. told him that | had
never been offered any money or re-
ceived any money for my affidavit
The original affidavit was correct tc
the best of my knowledge"
Other affidavits favorable to Bill
ings were presented but Judge Dunno
refused to credit them, refused a new
trial and sentenced Billings to life
Imprisonment.
The convicted mans appeal that he
be sent to San Quentin was denied by
the judge. He was granted stay OF
execution to allow his attorneys time
to file an appeal for a new trial with
the appellate court.

LANDSLIDE FOR
SOCIALIST TICKET
in OKLAHOMA
H. M. Sinclair Declares Four
congressman and from 60 to
80 State Legislators

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.-A So
cialist landslide in Oklahoma which
will give the electoral vote of this
to Benson and Kirkpatrick, is pre-
dicted by H. M. Sinclair, state sec
rotary of the Socialist party.
81 firmly believe we will carry the
Benson and Kirkpatrick presidential
electors, elect congressman from the
Third, Fourth, Sixth and Seventh
districts, from so to IS members of
the lower house in the state legisla-
ture and from 10 to Is in the senate,
unless something unforeseen happens
between now and election day."
writes Sinclair.
Two Amendments are Issue
'The two constitutional amend
ments initiated by the Socialist party
are the issues in this state. The DEM
ocrats are making their fight on these
laws and are on the losing end. They
will go down to defeat in many places
on this account. The people know
that machine rule and corruption in
elections exist in this state, and all
their pleas of fairness in the past are
falling on deaf ears.
"The general reports reaching this
office are to the effect that there is
a landslide taking place. Committee
men at work in their precincts reports
the changing of dozens of old party
voters in the last few weeks. They
name them in most cases.
Speakers come to my office who
have been directly in touch with the
situation. They report the same
things. They claim at least so many
for certain county. l take their
figures and white them down 20 per
cent and can not figure less than 95,-
900 votes in the state.
Now Reap Harvest.
"The Socialists have made a con-
tinuous fight against both old parties
and are now reaping the harvest. In
the northern part of the state which
is nominally Republican, the inroads
are strongest against them while in
the southern part of the state it is
against the Democrats.
"The Democrats undertook to start
their campaign with big rally in
Oklahoma City during the state fair
when thousands of people were here.
They advertised for a month, had
special trains, gave prizes for the
largest delegation, used every effort
possible to create an enthusiasm and
made a flat failure. There were only
387 persons including the band men.
many of whom were Socialists and
Republicans, in their would-be parade.
The audience that faced their national
speakers was not as large as Com
rade Kirkpatrick had in the same hall
few weeks before.

at is a fight to finish and the So
cialists are in the fight. We will give
the world some good news unless the
stampede is checked and something
uncomfortable at this time should
happen"

THE NORTHEAST PASSAGE.
Only Two Expeditions Succeeded In
Getting Through II.


Most attempts of European countries
to find a comparatively short passage
from the Atlantic to oriental countries
were by way of the northwest passage,
north Of America, because, having first
tried the northeast passage. north OF
Europe and Asia, and In every instance
having met with dire failure, they CON
centrated attention Upon the northwest
passage as probably more feasible.
Practically all the arctic expeditions
from Sir John Ross to Sir John Frank
lin were fitted out most of all to find
the northwest passage. The passage
was found during the search for the
lost party Of Sir John Franklin, but

TO keep the bowels regular the best
laxative is outdoor exercise. Drink a
full glass of water half an hour before
breakfast and eat an abundance of
fruit and vegetables, also establish a
regular habit and be sure that your
bowels move once each day. When a
medicine is needed take Chamber

take and mild and gentle in effect.
Obtainable everywhere.
