NEW YORK, June 22.-William G.
McAdoo, candidate for the democratic
nomination for president, is in the
same position today as was Champ
Clark just before the opening Of the
democratic convention in Baltimore
in 1912.
Clark came to the convention with
good sized block Of delegates, He
jority. Then the bosses Of democracy
jority. Then tn chooses Of democracy
recessed over Sunday. In the mean
time things were fixed so that the
delegates got kilograms from all over
the country calling for Wilson. Then
on Monday Wilson walked away with
the honors.
Indications are that McAdoo will
establish close to a majority at the
first ballot and then crawl up to over
a majority. But that won't neces-
sarily mean anything. Little old key
Two-Thirds Necessary will be on the
job.
shapeIy cuties Worry McAdoo.
There are enough determined anti
McAdoo men to cause a deadlock.
But McAdoo's strength lies in the fact
that his opponents can't agree on a
man. They are merely against him.
They are certainly not for AL Smith.
Finally nine-tenths of the McAdoo
delegates are dry as dust.
Another thing that worries McAdoo
is that the bright lights and the cute
legged girls of this gay city may dis
tract the attention of the delegates
from their duties. The drys are es-
pecially susceptible to the lure of
the siren shaped sisters of sin.
No Danger Of jail.
The boys from the sticks have been
furnished with special police passes
which means they can carry on with
out any chance Of getting in the
hoosegaw. OF course these courte.
sizes will be passed out by the back
ers Of AL Smith. A delegate would
be very ungrateful If he got drunk
and went out with a nice cutie all
thru the help OF AIS friends and then
refused to slip AL vote.
The police have been handing out a
line of bunk that they were driving
the shapely houri from the city. To
say that they are corrallng them and
that they will be used as army au-
thorities sometimes use them would
be nearer the truth.
McAdoo is rather riled at these low
down tricks OF AIS friends. Particu'
larly as there is no chance of his
using them himself.

Polish Biz Barons
Ask Government Aid
for Longer Work Day

" WARSAW, Poland, June 22-The
industrial barons of Upper Silesia are
getting "nervier" every day They
have now appealed to the government
to sanction twelve-hour day and the
reduction of wages by IS to 80 per
cent, so they can run their plants at
a greater profit.
The government is playing into the
hands of the bosses to the extent of
granting the demand for reducing
wages. That is, the government arbi-
traitor awarded such verdict, which
must be voted upon by both sides to
the controversy. The workers unani-
mously turned the award down. They
are now preparing for the hottest
strike that the heavy industries of
Upper Silesia have witnessed since
the territory became Polish.

Readers Of the DAILY WORKER

that no effort will be spared to wage
the labor battle in the history of
Pennsylvania against forces who have
millions at their command.
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn Of the
American Civil Liberties Union has
been arousing the workers to action
in behalf Of the Farrell steel work
ers and the defense committee is re-
ceiving the hearty cooperation Of this
mighty force in backing up the fight
made by these workers for their con

into hundreds of dollars each day and
the defense committee knows that
their appeal for aid will not go un.

be held and resolutions Of protest
should be passed and sent at once to

sway of the steel and coal trust, fully

PICKING, China, June 22.-The min

and the situations of other cabinet
members is uncertain. The recent
acceptance of the German bond issue
has increased the chaotic conditions
prevailing in this republic.
1t is not clear yet whether the

France and the United States, obey

NEW YORK, June 22.-Following
the refusal of the Dover, Mass. police

(speeIaI to the paIIy Worker.l

Especial TO the Odny WOrkeF.)
NEW YORK, June 22.-Andrew
Mellon, secretary Of the treasury, and
Arthur Sixsmith, MELONS, secretary,
have been subpoenaed to appear as
defense witnesses in the trial Of
CASTOR B. Means and Elmer w. Jar
necke. Mellon and Sixsmith probably
will appear Tuesday morning, Colonel
Thomas B. Fielder, defense attorney,
said.
Means and Jarnecke are being tried
in the federal court on an indictment
charging them with conspiracy to
violate the prohibition law. Hiram G.
Todd, assistant general attorney, rest
ed his case today after calling three
witnesses.
official 5ootIeeging.
A plot to make CASTOR B. Means a
dry chief in the Department of JUS
tice, so that Means could get and re-
lease from warehouses liquor he want
ed to sell, was the charge placed by
Jacob Stein at Means hearing here.
Secretary of the treasury Andrew
MELONS name repeatedly has been
brought into the history of shady
liquor deals.
Production of evidence which, ac-
cording to Thomas Fielder, Means
attorney, would have connected sec
rotary of the treasury Mellon with il
legal liquor transactions was cut
short when the court upheld the gov
ernment's objections.

Of $1,7O0,000 made by Mellon to the
Republican Party for financing the de-
feat of Henry Ford's presidential as
pirations.
Stein said that Means preached the
matter of releasing liquor from ware
houses to him. means suggested that
if 1 knew any persons who we're in
terested in getting out bonded whis'

he would arrange for the release,
said Stein. 1.-THE idea was to start the
liquor out of bonded warehouse on
the supposition that it was to be
moved to concentration warehouse
In transit it was to be diverted"

Outlining the fundamental
problem which must be met be-
fore prosperity and steady en-
ployment can be assured, the
Journal says in part:
Bosses Need Markets.
Even If the Mellon plan itself had
gone thru as desired it would not,
so many members of the community
now admit, have met the fundamental
problem that the business world has
to face. This is the question Of find
ing markets for goods and so keep
ing plants running and avoiding par
tial idleness which of course tends to
reduce profits and by keeping fac
tories running on short time cuts
wages and prevents demand from
growing.
Tariff Issue Coming.
"a sharp division of opinion has
made itself evident, one group of the
community now being convinced that
the only thing to be done is to keep
a strict and exclusive hold of the do
nestle market by getting the tariff
raised and so cutting out foreign
goods to the uttermost while the
other is inclined to the opinion that
the best thing to be done is to get rid
of some of the extreme rates Of the
tariff, undertake foreign financing on
a larger scale and thus seek to give
our business a much better footing"
Towards Imperialism.
This review shows that events are
substantiating the analysis of the in
dustrial situation from the point of
view of the worker repeatedly en-
phasized by the Federated Press dur
ing the first months of 1923 when a
brief industrial squirt tended to con-
ceal the basic problem. The F. P.
has repeatedly asserted that produc-
ton in this country had passed the
domestic demand, that the workers
were producing a greater surplus than
could be profitably consumed in the
country under the present system,
that the revival which depended upon
unusual demands from the railroad
and building industries had nearly
completed its course, that industrial
activity in the future depended upon
expansion of foreign trade in COM
petition with other nations and upon
foreign investment, in short that ex-
cess of industrial plants without cor
responding gain in the purchasing
power of farmers and workers was
driving the country toward economic
empire. 1t is upon the working out
of problems arising out of this situa-
ton that jobs, wages and the condi-
ton of the farmers in the future de-
pend.

WORKERSLURED
into OPEN SHOP
TRAP BY C. OF C.


LOS ANGELES, June %. = The
painters strike in Los Angeles, which
is now in it's thirteenth week, is the
fight against the open shop" 1t is
the immediate result of the newly
launched organization campaign con-
Quoted by the Chamber Of Commerce
and the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association to destroy the la
Dor unions. 1t is the campaign of the
builder, banker and the real estate
shark, who are the only profiteers by
cheap labor in the building industry.
Bankers Crush Contractors.
To accomplish their goal, the Cham
Der crowd are conducting their So
called organization campaign, which
is in fact campaign of coercion and
intimidation. The painter-contractor
expects his credits to be cut off, the
delivery of materials to be refused, his
contracts to be under-estimated and
his financial standing to be ruined by
the revenge of those who consider
themselves stronger than the law
itself.
This descriptive campaign was pre-
pared and is continuously supported
by misleading publicity all over the
country all year around. In all the
employment offices Of the big cities,
one will always find California help
wanted" notices posted on the walls,
calling for immediate employment In
forty different trades at good wages
and steady employment.
Suckers Answer Ads.
In response to these promising OPP
portunities 1000 people are coming to
Los Angeles every day. Deceived and
betrayed by the misleading propa-
ganda in the East, the credulous work
ers are flocking into California, only
to find their hopes vanished and their
plans ruined. They fill up the bre ID
lines and are frequently arrested or
vagrancy and confined to jail. B. ng
helpless and hopeless, these unit tu-
mates are compelled by extreme ov-
erty to work for any price and der
any conditions offered. The emf yer
