was elected chairman, and Ralph
Harmon, secretary-treasurer.
1t was decided to publish a weekly
paper devoted to the interest Of the
farmer-labor movement as soon as
arrangements can be made.
The state committee elected by the
Federation consists of two members
from each congressional district. The
last session was a long and trying
one and marked by constant efforts
Of the obstructionists to destroy the
unity effected by the fusion of the
farmers of the league with the Fed
Grafton.
Women on Committee.
David Evans was made permanent
chairman and Ralph Harmon, per-
manent secretary. Both elections
were unanimous.
The resolutions committee was Sc
lected in the same manner as the
credentials committee, with the addi-
ton of three women, among them
Mrs. /. G.. Scott, wife of Minneapolis
labor alderman.
The desperate condition of the
Minnesota Daily Star was brought to
the attention Of the convention by a
report of the Minneapolis Trades and
Labor Assembly which showed that
something like $250,000 was needed
Immediately to save the paper.
The convention refused to assume
responsibility for financing the Star
after delegate had asked, as the
policy of the Star the same now as
when it started?"
lnsistent demand for some sort of
a financial report from Chairman
Pike brought him back to the plat
form where he spent an embarrass-
ing half hour disclaiming any knowl-
edge of the financial condition of
the organization.
The resolutions committee has not
reported yet and the convention is
simply killing time. There are
enough contentious matters, includ-
ing the endorsement of the June 18th
convention and the matter of a plat
form, to keep the convention in ses-
sion until the early morning hours,
if the expected attempt to prevent
endorsement Of these measures is
made. oe
At press time a report was re-
ceived from st. Cloud that the
Farmer-Labor Convention had
unanimously endorsed the call for
the June 18th Convention.

The Committee of Fifteen"
Had It's Picture Taken

with view to placing the entire
strength of the organized workers
in this city behind the striking
dressmakers.
ga strike fund should be open
ed by the COMMITTEE of Fifteen"
to finance the striking dressmakers
during the strike and to help or
ganize the dress industry one humid
led per cent.
"A demand backed by the Chi
cago Federation of Labor should
be made on Mayor Dever to appoint
special law preserving officers in
the strike zone recruited from the
Chicago labor unions, on the re-
commentator Of the Committee Of
Fifteen.
Here are enough suggestions to
keep the Committee of Fifteen busy
for awhile. Every one of these
suggestions is practical and within
the power of the Chicago labor
movement to carry out. The
workers of this city are reading
the story Of this strike thru the
columns Of the DAILY WORKER.
This paper has given real service
to the striking dressmakers even
tho it has bitterly condemned the
policy Of the international officials
of the union prior to the strike in
expelling many of its most militant
members.
Smash Bosses Unity.
But since this strike was dec
Jared it had only one object, and
that is to help beat the bosses and
win the strike for the workers. The
suggestions we make to the "Com-
mittee of Fifteen" have the same
end in view. The DAILY WORKER
has given the lie to its detractors,
that it and the Workers Party, of
which it is the official organ were
disruptive forces. The DAILY
WORKER has been the biggest
constructive force during this strike
and while leaders of the Chicago
Federation of Labor were sending
their best brains to st. Paul and
Minneapolis to disrupt the Farmer
Labor conference, the DAILY
WORKER was on the firing line
aiding the dressmakers where real
labor leaders should be.
1t is not yet too late to do some
thing. The workers of this city
are watching this strike and they
are also watching the labor leaders
from whom they expect leadership.
So far their expectations have not
been realized. Let US have action.

In this respect the Commune is Of
great significance. It was from the
Commune that Marx drew the lesson
that the workers cannot take hold of
the machinery of the capitalist gov
eminent and use it to abolish the
capitalist system but must first abol-
ish the capitalist state and set ups
machinery of its own.

Proof that Mayor William E.

lowing eight strikers in S. Clark
street court yesterday afternoon;
Ben Silver, May Rodner, Sophie
Altsehuler, Florence Corn, Eleanor

The police who arrested them
admitted their lack of evidence by
failing to appear. The girls were
arrested on the az" station at
Canal street, where they gathered
before going on the picket line.
Judge Trude showed his disgust at
the police for making the arrests.
Another set of striker prisoners
were taken by the police, just as
unwsrrantedly, as these were be-
ing discharged. They are Fanny
Kramer, Emma Rykick, Mamie
Butkewitz, Kate Skirt, Pauline

FISH HATCHERY
 PROVES POPULAR
 OUTING RESORT

Sewardites who visit the fish hatchery at Grouse Lake since traf- fife has opened find it a profitable place to spend an afternoon, Carl Dregor, the sperintendent, doing all in his power to make the visit pleasant one explaining the scheme for propagation to visitors.
 During the recent visit of Ed ward Wentworth, superintendent of territorial hatcheries he named J. c. Bush a member of the Grouse Lake staff. MT. Bush is an expert enced hatchery man, and with Mr. Dregor will greatly augment the ef- fciency of the hatchery. MT. Bush was formerly engaged at Afognak, with the Bureau of Fisheries, and was also at Karlik overseeing fish propagation.
 The local hatchery has yet to re- ceive considerable equipment, but will be in readiness for work by the time the spawnisg season opens. MT. H. E. Ellsworth, local member of the Fisheries Board, has promised the Gateway photo of the new nat chery from which a cut will be made for our special edition.
 Mr. Wentworth was very much pleased with the location and build ings of the new hatchery.
