The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1920-11-06

1t all happened at Acme Hall, Cleveland
few moments before the Bob Minoi meeting last
week The Toiler's Business Manager entered the
hall carrying bundle of several hundred papers
which were to be sold to the audience He observed
the array of White Guards in plain clothes and
uniforms ranged along the back of the hall De-
cending the stairway to deliver the papers to the
Committee, he was halted by voice from above.
White Guard No. /, it was The same Palmer
Lieutenant who searched the Toiler office last
January and subsequently returned to his superior
officers empty handed with the exception of
few dollars worth of stamped envelopes which he
had stolen.
'What are you distributing here?" was his
question "T am not distributing anything" The
question was repeated "Do you see me distribut-
ing anything. whats in that bundle?" "Toilers"
open it up and we'll see, and don't get 'snotty
either. The latter admontion is an example of
White Guard culture "If my word isn't good con-
vince yourself" reply, as we decend to the land
ing and proceed to unite the bundle.
We are now joined by White Guard No. 2, in
plain clothes and White Guards Nos 8 and in
police uniform. The bundle is united and hand
him copy "That goes thru the United States
mails, assert Even White Guards can some
times see point, they are convinced that the
bundle is really Toers and confiscate only the
one copy, as evidence" presume
What White Guards are for.
White Guard No. l. becomes very patronizing
--insultingy so. IF you had answered us like q
gentleman instead of getting "snotty" it would
have been all right" "Oh, have MY opinion of
you," In am compelled to insist. "Now, don't get
'snotty' (They who live in mental gutter must
speak corresponding tongue) or we'll knock your
block off and put you in Jail besides" is his threat
Go ahead I've been there before. But he does not
knock my block off That he was standing two
steps lower than / probably accounts for his lack
of an attempt to do SO

small experience with large significance.
Rv thc business Manager

Here is where White Guard No 2. earned his
bread While tie up the bundle on my extended
knee he steps up and sends smashing blow with
his first squarely upon my mouth, splitting the
lips and bringing flow of blood into my mouth.
The police stand like sticks without word or a
movement How well they know WHOM and
WHAT they are to protect! There were no other
witnesses.
An aptitude for slugging is one of the prime
qualifications of a Palmer White Guard The art
is especially adapted for the only circumstance in
which it is used-that of assaulting unarmed
workers in dark corners where protection for the
slugger is afforded by the presence of other arm
ed sluggers.
Having proven his qualification for advanc-
ement the thug sinks into the shadow behind the
men in uniform and refuse to divulge his name
and swallows the accusation that he is courageous
only when backed by protection of others.
Education OF Workers Is Vital.
But, the purpose of this article is not to tell
you this little episode which is very small affair
indeed. A far more vital matter to the workers is
at stake. A matter which YOU can help to rectify
A blow in ones face is slight matter, even the
filthy fist of White Guard can be tolerated
The same thing has happened to thousands of
other workers, that and worse will occur to thou
sands more before we have educated them to the
point where they will organize strong enough to
break the power of the dictatorship of the bourg-
eoisie.
And that is our purpose here, EDUCATION.
We were expecting to sell almost thousand cop

the circumstances the committee decided not to

opportunity to add to their steelings. We decided

WAR RISK INSURANCE

A bulletin entitled. "New Provi-
sions for Compensation and Medical
and Surgical Care and Supplies under
the War Risk Act" and officially
listed as "LD-3O," is annaunoced by
Director r. G. Cholmeley-Jones of
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance
as ready for distribution.
The circular which is addressed to.
former service men and a copy of
which may be obtained from the Bu-
reau of War Risk Insurance, sets
forth the warning that a certificate
of injury from the Bureau, within
one year from date of discharge or
resignation, is necessary to preserve
eligibility for compensation on the
part o. anyone who received injury
or contracted disease while in the ser
vice.
To quote the bulletin: "No compen-
satiOn is payable unless the disability
or death can be traced to an injury
or disease incurred in the service.
"Many persons, however, have re-
ceived injuries or contracted disease
in the service and the i'll effects there
of do not appear until some time af-
ter their discharge or resignation. If
the disability resulting from the in
jury or disease contracted in the ser
vice does not occur before one year
after their discharge or resignation.
If the disability resulting from the
injury or disease contracted in the
service does not occur before one
year after discharge or resignation
you may be unable to obtain compen-
satiOn, for the law provides that when
such disability or death occurs as
shown by the medical evidence after
one year after your discharge, GER
tificate Of injury must have been OBJ
tanned from the Director of the Bu-
reau, within the year from the date
of your discharge in order that the
government may pay you, or your
dependents"
IF you were injured or contract
ed disease while in the service, even |
though the injury or disease was
minor character, be sure to apply for
a certificate of injury before one
year after the date of your dis
charge or resignation, in order to /
protect yourself and your depend
dents. Act now.
do not fail to get this certificate
if you sustained injury or disease in
the service which, even though it may I
not bother you now, may become ag-
gravated hereafter. Apply to the near
est District Supervisor of the Pub
lie Health Service, or write to the /

STRAW VOTES GIVES
JOHNSON BIG GAIN
Literary Digest Poll Shows MeAdOO
Still Leads Among the Demo-
Gratis, Wilson Second

The strides during the past week
of Senator johnson, Republican, with
tinge of the late Progressive hue,
toward the presidential goal, IS the
outstanding feature of the president
! ial straw vote in the current issue of
the Literary Digest.
'The week just passed" the pub
LEGATION comments, ''is calculated to
give aid and comfort to the camp of
Senator Hiram johnson. On the six
of the seven days his name has stood
at the head of the list of primariers,
credited with a greater total number
of ballots than any other contender
Since the last report appeared he has
gained some 5000 popular straw
votes upon General Leonard Weed,
the only candidate now leading him,
and more than $4,000 on Herbert
Hoover, the third in the triumvirate
of Republican leaders who seem to
have drawn so far in the lead of all
other contenders as to be almost in
class by themselves"
Among the Democrats, William G..
McAdoo continues to maintain a big
lead over President Wilson, his near
est rival, according to the straw vote.
An outstanding feature is the large
number of the Southern Democratic
votes which are being cast for Rep
ublicans, especially Hoover.
In Georgia $50 votes out of toll
of 1851 went to General Wood, 602
to Johnson and 1890 to Hover, which
was surpassed only by Attorney Gen
eral Palmer, who received 1912. Of
345,294 Democrats casting the straw
ballot, 148,124 or nearly one-half re-
corded themselves as favoring one or
another of the Republican candidates
In Virginia Hoover received 1900
votes, or 200 more than McAdoo, the
highest Democratic aspirant. McAdoo
though the leading Democratic can
didate, is still credited with 1886 less
Democratic votes than Mr.. Hoover,
now definitely aligned with the Rep
upbIicans.
The Democratic straw vote, stands
McAdoo, 63,988; President Wilson,
1889; Governor Edwards, 45,116;
| William, I Rr1you u QOO and Coyar-
nor Cox, 23,588.
The Republican straw vote: Gen
eral Wood, 2O2,O39; Senator John
son, 187,14O; Hoover, 169, 552; Gov
ernor Lowden, 94,825 and Charles E.
Hughes, 40,194.
The current issue of the Digest
brings the total number of votes re-
ceived beyond the million mark with
in the five weeks it has been conduct
ing its straw ballot.
