THE VOICE OF ALASKA

Why is it that the people on the out side, seem to be so afraid of helping Alaska? Alaska, incl dentally being one of the richest territories that the United States possesses, besides being one of the scenic wonders of the universe
 It is also one of the future stand byes of oil auctions, having the largest oil deposit that is yet known to the civilized world.
 1t harbOrs practically, every mineral of commercil value. Then why are the people so very shy to invest some of the capital in this territory, when it is being wasted on less important projects else where. Why iS it ? When Alaska, is the key to a huge trea sure house, dni therefore the very best possible investment that can be found anywhere :?

BOSS PUT BEHIND
BARS FOR TAKING
SLAM AT STRIKER
Shoe Workers Standing
Firm for Demands

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-The strik.
ers Of the Comfort Sandal Mfg. Co., of
Long Island City, N. Y, are. making
a grand fight to win their strike
which they have been waging for the
last five weeks, thru the efforts of
the Shoe Workers Protective Union.
These men mostly foreign born are
determined to win in spite of the fact
that the bosses are hiring strike
breakers and have the assistance, Of
the police. Many times the police
have used methods of intimidation
hoping to destroy the spirit of these
workers.
The sandal shoe industry until re
Gently has been passing thru a slack
period and now the boss is getting
desperate, orders are piling up and
scabs are limited 1t becomes neces-
sary for the boss to use personal
violence since the strikers refuse to
be starved into submission.
Arrest Pickets.
Last Thursday morning the police
made new drive upon the pickets
who have kept constant vigil on the
picket line but the strikers have be-
come accustomed to the methods of
the ruling class. Two arrests were
made.
On Friday morning Morris Bern
stein, one of the strikers, reinforced
the picketers and succeeded in per-
suading few scabs to remain off the
job. This infuriated the boss to such
an extent that he assaulted Bernstein
and one of the pickets. The boss
thinking everything serene had Bern
stein placed under arrest: immedi-
ately Bernstein demanded the arrest
of the boss who is Joseph Fischel,
Supt. of the Comfort Sandal Mfg. Co.,
S7.93 Sunswick St., Long Island City.
The policeman refused at first but
upon second thot took both Fischel
and Bernstein to the police station
Upon their arrival it was amusing to
watch the antics of the boss who at
tempted to impress the police authori
ties with his Importance as a superin
tendent. The captain, however, was
not impressed and pushed him to one
side. After charges were preferred
Mr.. Fischel was hustled with other
prisoners into the cage while score
of interested and curious strikers
watched the boss behind the bars
nervously waiting the case to be
called.
A very able lawyer defended the
strikers, Mr. Brodsky, while the boss
was so taken by surprise that he had
no time to retain an attorney. After
the magistrate had listened for a
short time to the interrupted remarks
of the strikers attorney the boss
asked for an adjournment which was
granted until later date.

BEN GITLOW GETS
BIG OVATION AT
BOSTON MEETING
LaFollette, Like Cal and
Davis, for Bosses Rule
(speoIaI to rhe Daily woRkER.l

| Especial to The DAILY WORkER.)
BOSTON, Mass, Sept 1.-THE
largest Workers Party mass meeting
ever held here gave Benjamin Gitlow,
Communist candidate for vice-presi-
dent, a great ovation in the Scenic
Auditorium, when he denounced La
Toilette as an upholder of the capital
list system equally with the two old
parties of Wall Street. Several hun
bred dollars was contributed to the
campaign fund by an enthusiastic au-
dience.
"LaFollette himself stated on Labor
Day, that he represents legitimate
business and legitimate profits" Git
low declared. "That is why Frank
vanderlip, the millionaire banker and
Rudolph Spreckles, the millionaire
sugar king, support LaFollette. They
know that LaFollette stands for the
profit system.
"If LaFollette is elected he will
do what the so-called progressive
Ramsey Macdonald is doing now in
England and the renegade progressive
Herriot is doing in France. Like
these two betrayers of the working
class, he will support the capitalist
system against the interests of the
workers"
LaFoIIette Tool of Bosses.
Gitlow told how the historic role of
Macdonald has been to come to the
aid of the capitalists and large EN-
ployers when they most need it. He
declared that in times of crisis, the
middle class progressives, such as
Macdonald and LaFollette are the
best tool of the capitalist, for under
the cloak of such terms as progress
sive," and democratic" they fool the
workers a little longer and prolong
the dictatorship of the capitalist class.
Gitlow's attack on Imperialism and
capitalist war was loudly applauded.
Fosters running mate denounced the
recent Mobilization Day as an at
tempt of American capital to militar-
ize the country, establish the goose
step in America, and prepare the
workers of this ountry to soon sacri-
flee their lives in another foreign war,
which the capitalists are trying to
bring on to capture foreign markets
and retard the growing influence of
the Communists.
Workers Party for Rule Of Workers.
"The Workers Party is part of
the Communist International" Gitlow
declared. 1.-THE Communist Interna-
tional will turn the next world war in
to revolution which will forever
abolish the rule Of capitalism all over
the world, and establish the workers
in power as they are in Russia today.
"A big crisis is fast approaching"
Gitlow continued Capitalism in the
United States is leading the workers
into an Industrial depression with an
army OF seven or eight million unem-
ployed workers and into destructive
and terrible slaughter to protect the
interests of the Morgans and Rookie
fellers. The only solution to the prob
lens Of the workers is the overthrow
of the capitalist system which is run
for the profit of the few, and the sub.
stitution by the organized workers Of
their own rule, which shall run indus
tries for use and service and not for
profit"
The meeting ended with the sing.
ing of the International and cheers
for Communism. Many outsiders
were present. Harry Canter was
chairman of the meeting.
