No better expression Of what Amer

November to 20, 1924, formulated
by the National Education Associa-
ton. ~This program has received the
approval Of President Coolidge.
1t is safe to assume that the pro-

Rlvet Chains of Wage Slavery.
American children are to be trained
to shun and avoid that education
which holds forth the only prospect
Of the destruction of the present sys-
tenn of capitalist slavery. In 1917
the schools were used to enlist the
willing sacrifice of the youth of the
nation to the horrors of the World
War. Today they are to be used to
rivet more firmly the chains of CAPT
talism to its wage slaves.

cas- brutal capitalist masters are
filled with the fighters of the work
ing class.
At Walla Walla, Washington,
members of the Industrial Work
ers Of the World are suffering for
their activity on the part of the
American wage slaves. At Repres-
sa and San Quentin, California, there
are dozens more. In Idaho, in
Texas, the jails of capitalism hold
other warriors of the working class.
In Farrell, Pennsylvania, Commun-
list workers are being sentenced for
asserting their constitutional

lists in Michigan still stand. Else
where in this glorious land of the

danger Of being deported to certain

In Europe, thousands of work
ers are the victims of democracy"
and Fascist rule. The flower OF
the working class is being jailed and
murdered. The resistance Of the

and wilder persecution. The on

revolution is being answered with
bullets and dungeons.

CRAFT SMELL
Henry w. Anderson Is
Whiskers' Choice
(Ry Federated Press.)

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Henry w.
Anderson, leader of the republican
machine in Virginia, has been ap-
pointed by Secretary Hughes as a
member of the Mexican mixed claims
commission. This is the same Ander-
son who, as legal officer for the army
in the matter of war contract fraud
adjustments, was given notoriety by
witnesses in the Daugherty investiga-
ton. 1t was testified by government
attorneys and investigators that when
a secret report on the huge fraVls
committed by the DuPonts on the Old
Hickory powder plant deal, near
Nashville, Tenn, had been turned over
to Anderson, that report turned up in
a conference in possession of the Du-
Points lawyer.
Anderson was held responsible for
turning this confidential government
document over to the lawyers for the
thieves. It was at the Old Hickory
plant that the cost-plus system includ-
ed the corpses of workmen who died
in the flu epidemic. The undertaking
contractor got SIS each for burying
or shipping the bodies, and he turned
some of them over to the potter's
field at cost of S11 each, thus clear
ing 81 per corpse, plus his charge for
the use of a hearse.
The state department announces
that Anderson has often been given
special work by its legal bureau.

HARVESTERCO.
LAUGHS AT ALL
ANTI-TRUSTLA
Legislation a Joke to
Big Morgan Firm
FIFTH ARTICLE.

While it's costly legal staff has
continually warded off suits by
the United States and various
state governments, c harging
them with unfair competitive
practices, the international Har-
vester company, by paying low
wages and raising farm machin-
cry prices to the limit has in
creased its profit by leaps and
bounds.
In the year 1923 the Interna-
tional Harvester paid out SILL
1877 ,S76.00 in dividends, which
was the net profit of the COM
pany.
The International Harvester COM
pany makes not only binders and
tractors but it also manufactures mo-
tor vehicles, gasoline engines, hay
rakes, cream separators, wagons,
sleighs, letters, hay-loaders, mowers,
and every conceivable kind of farm
implement and farm machinery in
Guiding plows, harrows and cultiva-
tors. The international has absolute
control over the prices charged on all
farm equipment.
Three Men Rule 10000.
Farmers in many states have banded
together and sued the Morgan trust
for unfair practices, and have won
verdicts in some states such as Mis-
souri,. The evidence in these suits re-
vealed that George Perkins, then part
ner of ]. P. Morgan, selected the en-
tire board of directors Of the company
and placed the power to vote all of the
stock in the hands of there men, him.
self, Deering, and Cyrus Mccormick.
The control of freight rates, wages
to thirty thousand employees, prices
charged on farm equipment to 80 per
cent of the American farmers, are in
the hands of three men.
On February 6, 1924, the Federal
Trade Commission filed complaint
joining the International Harvester
company and four other implement
companies as defendants with all the
associated retail implement dealers
in the Atlantic States and charging
that the manufacturers have cooper
ated with the retail dealers associa-
ton in a conspiracy to maintain retail
prices and eliminate farmers cooper
Rtives with the trade.
Fix Railroad Rates.
Since its formation by the firm Of
Morgan the large and costly legal staff
Of the International has had continual
suites on it's hands. These suits
charged that the Harvester company
set the freight rates for the railroads,
forced over 40 independent compa-
MES into bankruptcy, made their retail
dealers carry their full line, or moth
ing, raised the price Of farm ma
chinery thru their monopoly, and die
tated the tariff rules on farm ma
chinery.

Forced Vacations"

WASHINGTON, July 14.--Sharp de-
preston and an increase in unemploy-
ment in many lines, with part time
work the general rule, are the condi-

work and almost no clerical Jobs. The

DEMPSEY [|0N|zED IN JACKSONVILLE Champion Received By Mayor And Crowds Give Him
 Ovation

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 4.- Jack Dempsey. worlds heavyweight champion, became the hero of Jack sonville today.
 Mayor Alsop and an official recep. tion committee and hundreds of citl- zens who had swarmed the pier since dawn to welcome the champion on his arrival in Florida waved and cneered wildly as he stepped from the liner Comanche this afternoon. The landing had been delayed by a heavy fog on the river. Dempsey listened to bids from Jacksonville and Tampa for his winter training quarters but made no promises.
 The crowds, swarming the pier, standing on box cars and in the streets as his taxicab passed by, people gave Dempsey all enthusiastic reception this after noon.
 The lateness of the arrival upset plans somewhat but an immense crowd was on hand to hear Mayor Alsop and Tampa citizens offer in- ducements for his training camp
 Ted Hayes. trainer of the cham pion, however, said that establish ment of winter training quarters was problematical as theatrical engage ments might make it impossible.
 Dempsey will have motion pie lures of himself taken at the munich cal golf course and engaged to pose for the movies at Miami. He leaves for Miami tomorrow noon.
 Jack will be back in Jacksonville January IA to witness the bout In which Young Stribling, the Macon sensation, will take part" said Hayes. "All of us are interested Tn Stribling's career and Jack has never eaar hin, in actiOn'

 The co-receivers announced that all of the big details incident to the reorEanization and recapitaiization of the company and the lifting of the recefvership had, been worked out.

The new operators of the company. whose names are withheld until all arrangements are completed, will make numerous Improvements in the service, the co-receivers asserted.
 Commissioner Harrison said the re- ceivers were highly optimistic over future plans of the company to give Birmingham vastly improved street railway service.
 "Mr. Pevear told us that the new owners would be in a position to go forward with Improvements as soon as they take hold" he added.
 During the Tidewater discussion it was brought out that the cars on this line are forced to traverse 75 crossings, some of them dangerous ones, between the Terminal station and Forty-first street.
 Some of the franchises: under which the company is operating must be brought up to date in advance of the reorganization, and these details will be worked out at later conferences, Commissioner Harrison said.
 "A number of conferences be- tween the ,company's officials and the commission probably will be nec- essary in the next sixty days" he added.
 Federal court action will be nec- essary to release the company from its receivership, but it Is understood that Judge W. I. Grubb is ready to act as soon as the details of the re- organization are completed.
