open SHOP CITY
Milwaukee e to Hear
Communist Message
tspeeIaI to The paIIy workerl


Continuing his mid-Western
trip in which he is carrying the
message Of Communism to tens
of thousands of workers, Will
liam z. Foster, candidate of the
Workers Party for president,
will invade the stronghold of
Robert M. LaFoIIette and his
aid, Victor Berger, when he
speaks in Milwaukee, Sunday
afternoon, August "a, at Tippe-
canoe Park.
To Quiz Socialists.
Foster will have some very
pointed remarks to direct at
these two representatives Of the
small manufacturers and pro-
fessional men. IGe will show
how Berger fills the same place
in American political life as that
of Scheidemann and Noske in
Germany, how by his pink paint
of socialist labels and phrases
he delivers the masses of work.
Ters who are really against capt.
talism, over to the forces of the
exploiters.
Foster will point out that Berger
is now supporting the same LaFollette
whom for years he has been denounc-
ing, while LaFollette has not changed
one inch in his bitter opposition to
everything that smacks of socialism.
He will ask the workers of Milwaukee
If they really want to support the
man who thinks that nothing is wrong
with America except a few crooks in
office, and who stands for private
property in the basic industries Of the
country as the foundation Of Ameri-
can government.
Why Is Milwaukee "open shop7"
Foster will ask the Milwaukee
workers why it is, if Berger and La
Toilette are such good friends" of
labor as they pretend, that Milwaukee
is such classic "open shop" town.
Why is it that the unions are less or
ganized in Milwaukee than in any
other city of like size in the country?
Why is it that SIS per cent of the build
ing trades are non-union? Why is it
that the National Eerectors' Associa-
tion the notorious unioa-snashing or.
ganization of the Steel Trust, with
Walter Drew as its head, has one of
it's offices in Milwaukee? Why is it
that the labor movement of Wiscon-
sin finds it more difficult to get con-
sideration of it's problems from the
LaFollette state government than it
would from reactionary machine?
These will be some special ques-
tions for Milwaukee, which will &C.
company Fosters exposition Of the
Workers Party platform, and the goal
of the workers and farmers govern
ment which it sets forth for the Am
erican workers. Fosters other dates
