Omaha Branch of the
Party Gaining Among
The Workers of City
IspeeIaI to the paIIy Worker.l

OMAHA, Neb., August lettings
are picking up" with the Workers
Party membership in Omaha. At the
last meeting Of the English branch
three applications were received, and
the Jewish branch is also showing
promising signs for growth.
Street meetings will be held every
night from Aug. is to 80. at these
meetings LaFollette's pretension to
the leadership of the workers and
farmers will be exposed and the pro-
gram Of the Communist Party present
ed as the only hope of the toiling
masses in this country. STANLEY J..
Clark of st. Louis will do the heavy
oratory, with David Coutts assisting
as chairman.
The last street meetings, at which
District Organizer ]. E. Snyder was
chief speaker, were highly successful,
and if the supply of street voices"
can be kept up the meetings will be
held as often as possible right up UNI
til cold weather Snyder is now busy
lining up the Foster-Gitlow campaign
in Iowa, while Clark is winding up a
busy week in Sioux City.
There is but little hope of getting
the names of Foster and Gitlow on
the ballot as Workers Party candi-
dates in this Organized state, but the
district promises to make up for it in
organization work.
All together for Foster and Gitlow
and a mass Communist Party in
America, and don't forget that viii.

De VALERA OPENS
FIGHT ON FREE.
STATE CABINET
Republican Killed at Big
Mass Meeting
tspeeIaI to rhe Daily WorLsrl

N0P0Otdt TO ! ne LAZY WOTR9ES
DUBLIN, Aug. 19.-One Irish repub-
ican was killed by Free State troops
following meeting at Ennis, County
Glare, at which Eamonn De Valera,
leader of the republicans, delivered .
speech.
De Valera did not offer any pro-
gram on which the fight for independ-
ence would be based. He appealed
to the patriotism Of his audience, pro-
tested against the partition of Ireland,
admitted that temporarily they may
be forced to submit to certain things,
but would never willingly stand for a
king.
Sim Feln Not Republican.
The late Arthur Griffith, who was
the organizer of the Sim Fein party
and the brains of that organization
UP until the time of his death shortly
after the signing of the treaty in 1921,
did not believe in a republican form
of government for Ireland, and even
De Valera was quite willing that the
Irish question should be settled on the
basis Of dominion home rule. His
Cuban interview" winch started the
war between himself and Judge Co
halan in America, showed his frame
of mind.
Since then De Valera has changed
his mind and now he is leader of the
bourgeois republicans, who in their
as 1eactionary as the Free Staters.
The leaders of the republicans are
now protesting that James Connolly,
the Communist, who really was re-
sponsible for the Easter week rebel
lion, was not one of them. The OBJ
ject Of this propaganda is to convince
the business elements that the repub-
lican party is perfectly safe and can
be trusted.

FRENCH CHAMBER
is EXPECTED TO
: SUPPORT HERRIOT
Teeth of PoincareW Wrath
Pulled by FLUTES
Especial to the Daily worker.)

PARIS, Aug. 19-Premier Herriot
is not expected to have very hard sled
ding with his Dawes plan agreement
when the chamber of deputies opens
next Thursday. AS already reported>in
the DAILY WORKER, the Poincare
opposition, according to well-authenti-
Gated information, is not liable to
prove vigorous.
The Dawes plan is well thought
out scheme to restore capitalism In
Europe to stability. OF course this is
an impossible task. But drowning
men are known to grasp at straw,
and there is no doubt but capitalism
as an economic system is on its last
legs.
What the Dawes plan may do if it
gets going is to postpone the inevita-
Bile for time.
The German capitalists have the as
surance of getting a S2OO,OOO,OOO loan
and the satisfaction of being again &C
cepted into the international family
of robbers. But Germany must pay
under the Dawes plan $2O0,O00,000 in
reparations the first year and $780,
100000 later on. Not such pleasant
prospect for the German workers, who
must foot the bills.
Premier Herriot did a good stroke of
business for his masters. How proud
the socialists who supported the French
LaFollette must feel when they learn
that the French capitalists receive
900,00O000 francs in reparations the
first year, besides guarantee of coal
and coke deliveries for the next thirty
years, far beyond what she could ex-
pect thru her occupation of the Ruhr.
And more important still from the
point Of view of calming French fear
of a German war of revenge, is the
knowledge that this guarantee is
backed by the bayonets of Britain
and the United States.

In addition to the comparable occu-
pations listed, the British vessels car
ry carpenter at $50, boatswin at
$46, donkeyman at $46 and fourth
engineer at $50; the Japanese a doc
tor at S81, purser at $44, four quar-
termasters at 500 each, a carpenter
at $37, boatswain at $44, a fourth
engineer at sol and number of ca
diets and apprentices. The stewards
department with five men on the Brit
ish boats costs 1882 a month, with
nine on Japanese crew of 81 costs
$1,S66 and the American $426.
U. S. Sailors Best Paid.
Taking the full quota for manning
an S,800-ton lightweight coal-burning
steamship, the British crew Of 80
costs $1,7S3 a month in wages. the
Japanese crew of 81 costs $1,S66 and
the American crew of Al $3,466.
Crews of a similar ship registered
under other maritime countries are:
Norway, AZ men, cost $1,10O month;
Netherlands, SS, $1,623; Sweden, 40,
1881; France, As, s1,319.
Aside from the extremely low wage
paid japanese seamen, the outstand-
ing fact in the table is the low rate
at which foreign countries obtain
their responsible officers. This illus
trates the tendency in older countries
for the pay of skilled employees to
come down until they are economic
ally on the plane Of the laborer
Boss Propaganda for Decrease.
One fact which takes most of the
kick out of the governments employ
ers' propaganda against seamen's
wages is that these wages represent
less than one-sixth of the cost of op-
Grating such ships.

Says Majority of A. F.
of L. Executives Won't
Vote for LaFollette

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-John ].
Keegan, former organizer for the In
ternational Association of Machinists,
and now a member of the United
States Employees Compensation Com
mission, today made public letter to
Samuel Gompers, declaring that six
of the eleven mebers of the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor which recently endorsed the
LaFollette- Wheeler presidential ticket
at Atlantic City, would not vote for
these men in the election.
Keegan said he heard "six men,
bers of the executive committee
plainly and emphatically state that
they were not going to vote for Robert
M. LaFollette." .

A meeting Of all the members Of
the Workers Party will be held Mon
day, August rs, 1924, in the House Of
the Masses, at 8 D. m, where the fol-
lowing questions are to be taken up
for discussion.

questions will come up for discussion.

new PLANS MADE
TO help Y, W, |,
GO over The TOP
Gle ero Party Branch
Has Novel Idea

At the last membership meeting
of the party in Cicero, it was decided
to tax each member of the party with
either one dollar, the money to go for
the Young Workers League organiza-
ton fund, or with a new member for
the league. This campaign is to last
until August %. At the expiration Of
that time a membership meeting will
be held at the Lithuanian Liberty
Hall at w. 14th St. and 5Oth CT, at
which every member Of the party will
be called upon to either come across
with the dollar or to register the new
member. A prize was also offered
to the member that procures the most
members to either the Young Workers
League or to the Junior Section. This
prize is valuable book.
AS far as unofficial reports are con-
cerned, it is said some comrades are
bringing in as many as a half dozen
new members to either the League or
to the Junior Section. From all the
indications it seems that the Young
Workers League out in Cicero, the
town Of the Western Electric Com
pany, is going to become real factor.
The publicity they have been getting
from having their speakers arrested
will surely aid in the growth Of fhe.
League. AS is always the case wher-
ever the League is strong the Party
will also grow On with the uorlr

president general, in which Mrs. Cook
denounces the youth movement as
being aimed at the heart of "our most

declaring that schools, teachers and

by dangerous pacifist propaganda. In

wide circulation in Commerce
Reports, the weekly publication
of the bureau Of foreign and
domestic commerce.
"That American shipping is handi-
capped" says this article, "can be
seen from the fact that wage scales
range from 4s.S per cent to 215 per
cent higher than the wages paid on
foreign ships. That cheaper operat-

employment in representative plants
in Pennsylvania and New Jersey con-

In New Jersey declines were no
ticed in boot and shoe factories and

Congratulations For Kellogg.

LONDON, Aug. 19.-The most con-
graduated man in England today is
Ambassador Kellogg, who took lead
ing part in the discussions that led
up to the agreement to put the Dawes
plan into operation, and particularly
the agreement between France and
Germany on the evacuation of the
Ruhr.
While kellogg was not officially rep
|resenting the United States govern
ment, his words carried great weight
because the European politicians
knew that he spoke for his govern
ment which in turn, carried out the
desires of the big American bankers
without whose cooperation settle
ment would be impossible.
That Ambassador Kellogg is play
ing for the German vote in the Unit
ed States can be judged from his sug-
gestion that Germany be allowed to
choose the bankers who are to float
the loan.
There is some dissatisfaction in IL
beral circles due to the ability Of
France to block the operations of the
transfer committee which is to handle
the German PREPARATIONS funds. When
the sum in the hands Of this commit
tee reaches 5,O00,0OO0 900 marks, above
what can be distributed in repara-
tions, this excess will go to the Ger
man budget unless one of the com
mittee should appeal. This one is
certain to be France.
Germany is certainly in the hands
of receivers, but the German capital
lists are willing to swap their dignity
for an opportunity to make profits.
Italy did not figure very much in
the conference. Mussolini did not
dare come to London, fearing labor
demonstrations because of his muir
der Of Matteotti.

There never was any thing in this figure: the only thing the upsets me is that it's hardly any use handing you over to the police since you haven't got any stolen goods but of course you've got the fgure; that's probably stolen goods. l think I'll gaol you for this"
 Don't do that, guv'nor." implored the little man. "1 think I know 'ow this 'appened. I'm a bigger fool than anybody'd think and I'll tell you for why. I put the stun in with my own 'ands. Would I tell you a story like that if it weren't true?"
 Indeed l don't know"

'ad to take the canvas off the bot tom first, but l put it on again after. There was about a dozen Of them figures there, waiting to ave air on. What I thinks 'appened Is that I picked mp one Of them lay figures that was empty And mine, what's got the stun in it, is in Charlie Vilrs back shop now. Oh my! this is a go!''
 'I shouldn't wonder" I remarked. 'It seems very likely. suppose you were in rather a hurry"

 It was very tempting to arrest the man forthwith no doubt, by this means, all the property would be re- covered, since the other man could be found. But I felt curious, after all, knew many ladies who had their hair done by Charleville; some were hard up; one of them had re- gently received from me a few valu- able little presents which it would be amusing to identify. So I said: NO, I'm not going to buy a pig in poke. I don't mind doing a little business with you: if you think the stuff's worth it, I'll give you a hundred pounds; I can't get caught, so don't mind" He twnkled, recog- nizing a fellow crook, dragged at the canvas that was roughly nailed to the bottom Of the figure. pulled it off, thrust his hand in. A look of perplexity came over his face. He fumbled in the recess. took up the figure, shook it; then, his mouth fallen open, he turned to me and said: There ain't nothing in it."
