PLUTOCRATIC PERSECUTION
by The Federated Pressl

Rockford. III.-Resolutions strongly
denouncing the Illinois Chamber of
Commerce for its part in financing the
prosecution of the union miners indict-
ed in connection yith Herrin mine wat
of June Fl and y were adopted at the
state convention of the Farmer-Lahor
party held here Oct. AIS.
The commerce chamber. with its ally,
the Illinois Manufacturers Assn, is
charged with usurping the powers Of
the state by subsidising Atty-Gen. Brun-
dage in his prosecution of the Herrin
miners who had been driven, in the
words of the resolution. to defend their
homes, wives and children from the
reign Of terror of company gunner
which eliminated in the murder Of
three union miners the day before the
battle.
The deaths, woundings and misery
resulting from the battle are declared
to be not even hundred in extent Of
those caused to miners by the oppo-
sition Of the big business interests to
safety legislation. The .anti-labor ma
ture Of the Herrin prosecution is prov
ed. the resolution shows. by the fact
| that while scores Of union miners were
indicted. no effort was made to indict
the murderers who killed the three UNI
ion miners before the battle began.
The Farmer-Labor party formally pied
ged Its support TO the indicted men.

LAND AND LIBERTY
(By The Federated Pressl

Mexico City. OF the 33l regular
fraternal delegates to the fourth an
nual convention Of the Mexican Fed
Grafton of Labor a large proportion re-
presented groups Of organized agricul-
tural workers.
Until recently in Mexico there have
been few small farm owners; Of farms
Of moderate size employing a few men.
Therefore there has been neither the
conservative farm hand Of the Uni
ted States nor the migratory wobbly.
There have been only campesinos
(peons) who lived, worked, and died
on the large estates on which they were
born. Sometimes these people worked
on shares, renting small plots of land,
sometimes they were day laborers. But
they lived in communities. Many of
these communities have now received
land from the government "a return
usually Of tribal lands originally theirs)
and their inhabitants have formed I'M
ions or cooperative societies to pro-
tect their interests; in others there has
been no division of land and the work
ers have organized unions or syndicates
of resistance to agressions by the land
owners.
In their white cotton tunics and trou-
sers, with bare or sandalled feet and
their huge-brimmed straw hats, these
campesinos from the haciendas Of Mex
leo contrast oddly with the neatly at
tired city leaders; contrast also by the
simplicity of their words and the d.
rectness Of their thought.

COOPERATION WINS IN AUSTRIA
CBy The Federated Press)

&
New York. Austrian industrial
plants being operated along semi-so-
cial;st lines by the state, provinces or
municipalities in partnership with en-
ployes and consumers, moi only have
increased the total production Of the
nation, but have turned in substantial
profits, improved working conditions
and cut the cost of their products. says
an article by William Ellenbogen, an
Austrian Socialist deputy, and sum-
married. in the bulletin issued by the
International Federation of Trade
Unions,
The biggest of these cooperative en-
terprises is the Austrian Works, form
ely the greatest arms and munitions
plant in the country. Transformed into
a peace institution through the invest
ment Of 450,000,000 crowns by the
state, this establishment, employing al
most 1900 workers, manufactures. ma
chinery, hunting weapons, rolling stock
furniture, etc, and has turned in net
profit of 55,000,000 crowns. Although
at present one American dollar will
purchase more than 5000 Austrian
crowns, they were not 50 cheap when
the capital, investment and profits en-
umerated were made.
The Settlement and Building Mate
rial Assn, founded by the state, the
city of Vienna and the Central Union
for Housing and Settlement, has done
much good work in promoting the
building of dwellings through supplying
the state and municipal building societ-
les with material at greatly reduced
rates AMI thus releasing hundreds Of
millions Of crowns for the building Of
more houses.
Then there is the United Shoe and
Leather factories, which was organic
ed by the state, Cooperative Whole
sale society, and the Agricultural Pro-
duce Distributing center, which turns
out more than 1000 pairs Of shoes daily
at prices in some cases so per cent low
er than those of private manufactur.
The Clothing and Furnishings society
which was founded by the state. the
Cooperative Wholesale society and the
Agricultural Produce Distributing CEN
ter, has become the leading concern in
the Austrian textile industry. 1t has
acquired its own cotton mills and now
supplies the state. and number of
cities including Vienna, with cloth for
uniforms. and is filling orders to labor
unions at rates of 20 per cent below
the market price.
Other successful cooperative enter
prises include the Pharmacy center in
Vienna, the Syrian Vehicle Works in
Gratz, the zinc and copper smelters. a
chemical factory at SolIenau, and the
building guild. which with its member
shin Of 100000, keeps down the cost
! of building and is slowly solving the big
housing problem.
