PRES. COOLIDGE UN-
FAVORABLE TO JUS
TICE FOR EMPLOYEES

In the public press dispatches from
the White House, President Coolidge
Is reported to have said, that although
the postal employees are underpaid, II
would at this time, be "A disturbing
element TO grant a general increase
of pay 10 the postal workers. lie
does not state Just how or why doing
Justice, and scanty justice at that,
would be a disturbing element" and
up TO date nobody has offered a salts
factory explanation Of his attitude.
However, we can convince President
Colidge, IL he will go with US into the
800 900 homes of the postal employees
Of the country, that there Is now q
very real disturbing element In each
home caused by the frantic efforts OF
an 81 800 income to cover a necessary
outgo Of s2,400 living expenses of the
average family trying to maintain
decent American standard Of living.
The railroads were allowed IN
creased compensation for transporting
| the mails, which was right. because
Of the increased volume Of business
but nobody suggested that this IN
crease might be a disturbing ele'
ment" and therefore should be with
held.
1t would be quite interesting e
know when, in the judgment Of Pred
dent Coolidge, a just and long delayed
| increase in postal salaries would ceass
to be disturbing element" As tn
/ government receipts now exceed tn
| expenses perhaps it would be whei
the expenses exceed the receipts, or a
IL is now proposed to lower the Ia
rates to avoid a surplus, perhaps
would be when theer was a deficit an
tax rates were being raised.

In barbarous Birmingham early
Sunday morning, between four and
five o'clock on 9th Avenue, a
man and a woman were seen to
come out Of a house and enter a
taxlcab. The mans back was a
mass Of bleeding wounds, where he
had been whipped, evidently a short
while before. The woman was
seemingly his wife. The newspapers
here have made no report Of this
crime. There have been no arrests.
The victim and the public are in

A pamphlet dealing with the con.

Comrade John Harvey to follow ur

MORGAN BREAKS
WORKERS RANKS.
IN MILWAUKEE,
LaFolIette is Silent
Against Big Trust
BY KARL REEVE.
Especial to the Daily Worker)

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 80.
-. P. Morgan with his Inter-
national Harvester trust which
he organized in 1918, is allowed
by LaFollette to break up the
unions here aItho LaFoIIette has
been the political ozar for as
years.
The Milwaukee works Of the
international Harvester COM
pany, covering thirty-one acres,
and having an annual capacity
for turning out $50, 900 engines,
tractors and cream separators,
has laid off thousands Of men
without making any arrange
ment for their welfare.
Organize Company Unions.
LaFollette, who brags about his ac-
complishments in this state, allows J.
P. Morgan to break up the workers
union in this plant, and institute in
stead the scab international Harves-
ter Industrial Councils" which are
controlled by the directors of the COM
pany.
Morgan, who has one Of his serv-
ants, Charles Dawes, running for vice
president on the republican ticket, and
his lawyer, John Davis, candidate for
president on the democratic platform,
owns practically all of the stock of the
Milwaukee harvester company plant.
Morgan Formed Trust.
Morgan was presented with millions
Of dollars worth of stock in the Mil
waukee factory for joining the large
agricultural machinery manufacturing
companies into one gigantic trust,
which has reduced the wages of mil
lions Of workers turnout the country
and has raised the price of farm ma
chinery to an exhorbitant degree.
LaFoIlette's State Worst.
Now thousands of workers are CO.
ing hungry in the j. P. Morgan plant
here which is part of the International
Harvester trust. The company union
Is blacklisting every worker found ia
voring a union run by the workers
Workers who favor workers control of
industry are fired Immediately.
Some workers who have been en-
ployed in the plant for many years
have been forced to send their wives
and daughters out looking for work
because practically the entire plant is
on part time, with many not working
at all. No provision has been made by
Morgan, who makes millions of dol
lars yearly out of the international
Harvester company workers, to take
care of these hungry employees. Now
that Morgan does not need them, they
are turned out on the street after
years of faithful service.
