Due to the cloture law which Is

Due to the policy in tho House of

JACKSONVILLE
PACT SCUTTLES
Miners UNION
Unemployment COun-
ellis Should Be Formed

The widespread unempIoy-
ment, which has impoverished
at least 100000 working class
families in Southern Illinois
bituminous coal fields, makes it
imperative that Unemployment
Councils be Immediately formed
among the miners, and that the
Illinois Miners Union demand
the payment of unemployment
funds by the coal operators.
Frank Harrington, president of dis
trict IL of the Miners Union, put his
stamp of approval on the selling out
of the membership when he refused to
take definite stand for the payment
Of unemployment funds by the coal
operators and by the government.
Harrington admitted his failure to aid
the miners on May 10, in his report
to the convention of the mine workers
of Illinois in Peoria. zone hundred and
fifty Illinois mines were completely
closed on the first day of May" Far
rington admitted "And there is no
immediate prospect Of resuming oper-
ations. There is every indication that
as time advances more mines will
suspend. Fully 10000 of our men are
now idle. Very few of the mines that
are now open are working more than
half time and the great majority of
them are not working that much"
Instead of advocating unemployment
benefits Harrington wanted the miners
to speed up their work and aid the
operators by cheapening benefits. John
L. Lewis and the officials of the mine
workers union sold out the miners by
signing the Jacksonville agreement, on
Tuesday, February 10, 1923.
The capitalist papers Immediately
ocmplimented the mine officials for
being sensible" by aiding the coal
operators to bring on unemployment.
"The Jacksonville agreement was a
move to deflate the mine industry"
said the New York World. 1.-THE result
will be the closing down of the mines,
the officials of the United Mine Work
ers admit, and the releasing for other
industries Of perhaps 100000 men,"

RUHR DEADLOCK
ENDANGERS THE
DAWES REPORT
Ambassador Kellogg
on French Side
Especial to The Daily Worker)

Especial to The Daily Worker)
BERLIN, Aug. 15--It was learned
from excellent authority that the
German delegation at London Is al
most certain to sign the French
terms for Ruhr evacuation, unless
there Is an eleventh hour hitch.
President Ebert, It was learned,
told the Ministerial Council that
Germany's rejection Of the London
terms would mean the overthrow
of Premier Herriot, which would be
disastrous for Germany.
Especial to the DAILY WoRkER)
+ LONDON, August 15.-The
German delegation met this
afternoon at 2:3o to consider
an important communication
just received from Berlin.
Copies of Germany's reply to
Frances Ruhr evacuation pro-
posaIs were handed to the
French and BeIgians at 8
o'clock this afternoon.
The Germans did not finally
accept the French proposals on
evacuation of the Ruhr yester-
day evening as reported. In
stead they got in touch with
Berlin and while President
Ebert was comforting with lead
'ers of the various political par
ties, except the Communist
Party of course, Chancellor
Marx, was attending services at
the Church of the Immaculate
Conception and praying for
divine guidance while Herriot
was soothing his atheistic soul
by taking a walk in the park.
Premier Macdonald conferred with
the Roumanians regarding the claim
to German indemnity. The small ma
lions of Europe who were on the side
of the allies in the war are lowering
around the London conference, wait
ing for whatever scraps the big fell
lows may throw at them.
Due to the deadlock in the allied
conference, President Cal
vim Coolidge's speech received scant
attention in the London press today.
While the message received by
Chancellor Marx from Berlin has not
yet been made public, it is rumored
that Germany will make further con.
cessions on the issue of Ruhr evacu-
alton, meanwhile reaching a tacit un-
derstanding with Herriot that the ac-
tual evacuation shall begin sooner
than the formal protocol calls for.

STRIKE THREAT
GROWS LOUDER
IN SOUTH BEND
Studebaker Men Rebel
Against Wage Cut

Especial to the DAILY WoRKER)
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Aug. is.
Possibility that a strike of
the men employed at the Stude-
baker automobile plant here
would take place was seen to-
day by the groups of workers
that gathered grumbling about
the new situation that has
developed in the factory.
Huge numbers of men are
unemployed in South Bend,
having been laid off from the
big factories like the Stude-
baker, the Singer Sewing Ma
chine Co., and the Oliver Chill
led PlOw concern.
Wages Are Cut.
To make matters worse, new ma
chinery has been installed in the
Studebaker plant, which has displaced
still more men. And the condition has
been considerably aggravated by the
fact that not only have men been
driven out of jobs, but even those who
were taken back have been put on a
piece work allotment basis and have
had their wages cut.
The workers are angry because the
employers have taken advantage of
the prevalent unemployment to cut
wages. Many of them are talking
about striking, and the only difficulty
in the way is their total lack of any
organization.
Communists to Take Action.
The City Central Committee of the
Workers Party, which meets tonight,
will take up the entire situation and
consider ways and means of directing
the discomfort of the workers into
profitable channels. The activity Of
the Workers Party and the Young
Workers League in the strikes at
Pullman and Hegewisch has set the
mark for the Communist units In all
other parts of the country, and not
only have they learned the value Of
such tactics, but they are ready to
take advantage of the experience
gained in participating in the strug-
giles Of the workers.

Steel Workers Rally to
Our Party Standards

Especial to the DAILY WoRkRRo
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Aug.
15.-With the rousing battle
cry of Communism against
Capitalism, William z. Foster
opens the campaign of the
Workers Party of America In
the very heart of capitalisn's
stronghold, Mahoning Valley,
on August II.
Foster, the candidate of the
Communists for the presidency,
will rally to the red standards
the thousands of steel workers
whom he led against the octo-
pus of the Steel Trust in 1919.
VIII Expose Labor Takers.
The complete collapse of the So
called organization drive of the steel
workers with the money left over from
the 1919 strike, which showed so
clearly the bankruptcy and betrayal of
the workers by the labor takers who
are now trying to drag the workers,
bound hand and foot, into the camp of
LaFolIetteism, will receive their due
at the hands of Foster.
LaFollette Discredlted.
The steel workers, who still remem-
Der LaFollette as the man who kept
his mouth carefully shut while they
were being terrorized for striking
against Gary, will attend the two Fos-
ter meetings by the thousands, it is
announced. Arrangements have been
made to accommodate both the night
and day shifts. Foster will speak Aug.
IL at Avon Park, Girard, Ohio, p. m,
and again in the evening al Ukrainian
Hall, 5251s West Rayen Ave, Youngs-
town, Ohio, D. m.
Fear to Debate Foster.
Wallace T. Metcalfe, leading the
party drive in this district, has chal-
lenged, on behalf of Foster, the fake
labor leaders here who have Endorsed
LaFollette, to debate with the Com
munist candidate the issues of the
campaign, but not one of them has
dared to take up the challenge. The
LaFollette forces here are the curious
mixture Of labor takers, pseudo-so-
cialists, business men and the reac-
tionary Scripps paper.
Foster will appeal for support solely
to the workers on the basis of the
platform of the Workers Party Of
America.

WASHINGTON, Aug. is. - Sc

Hughes, secretary of state, on the
good work he has done for his master
]. P. Morgan, in putting across the
Dawes plan at the London conference
that he actually unbended his beard
ed austerity long enough to lead in a
cheer for the sphinx of the White
House, Silent Cal" Coolidge, at the
notification ceremony here today.
Rail- Rail- Rail-
The two thousand morons who were
present to hear Coolidge being in
formed that he was selected to run
the race for the presidency on the
back of the elephant, were almost
knocked out of their clothes when the
dignified secretary suddenly rose from
his seat and yelled out like college
boy on rampage: Three cheers for
President Coolidgel"
No sooner were they given than he
stepped back into his she'll, where he
will probably remain until the heat
strikes him again.

ion meetings, house to house
in working class sections and
everywhere the workers can be
reached.
Every party branch must help
distribute these leaflets. We must in
crease the number of leaflets from the
quarter of a million we have been
distributing to at least a million. We
must mobilize the whole membership
for this work, so that we can reach
the workers with our message"
The leaflets, which contain Robert
Minors powerful cartoon on present
day American institutions, will be
sold to the branches at $175 per
thousand in lots of 10000 and $1.50
per thousand in larger qualities.
Remittance must be made with the
orders so that the printing can be
financed. In those cities where there
are City Central Committees, the dis
tribution should be organized thru the
City Central Committees and branches
should place their orders with the
City Central Committee.
1t is expected that every single
member of the Workers Party will
get into this campaign for literature
distribution with all energy and help
across at least the quota set by the
party, a million leaflets. II is pointed
out that 1t is relatively easy to dis

AS WE SEE 1T
81 Z. ]. o'FLAHERTY

GEORGE L. BERRY, president of
" the Pressmen's Union, was given
raw deal at the democratic con-
vention, according to Chester M.
Wright. chief publicity man for Sam
uel Gompers and former editor of the
New York Call. 1t is unlikely that the
A. F. of L. would see any more virtue
in LaFollette than in Davis had the
latter decided on Berry as his running
mate rather than Charles w. Bryan,
governor of Nebraska. John w.
Davis was as reactionary when Berry
was voted on for vice-president as he
was when the A. f. of L. endorsed La
Toilette, yet it is evident that had
Berry been given the nomination
Gompers would now be praising
Davis and denouncing LaFollette for
his war record.
THERE is no trouble in Spain, says
King Alfonso, at luncheon given
to an American newspaper CORE
spondent, in the presence of Alexan-
der B. Moore, American ambassador.
The King said the alleged crisis was
manufactured by the newspapers that
wish to see the old regime back again
because the government subsidies to
the press were cut off by the present
dictatorship. Primo de Rivera, the
King said, had cleanup job on his
hands and would stay until the job
was finished. There was no truth in
the stories that Alfonso would leave
the throne.
LIS MAJESTY expressed the great
i est regard for the American am
basasdor Mr.. Moore. 1t apears that
Moore and Alfonso are very chummy.
The former calls the King "chief" and
addresses the Duke of Abba, Jimmy"
The Duke is heir to the throne, and is
planning to attend the international
polo contest in Long Island, which will
also be honored by the presence of the
Prince of Wales and the Prince of
Norway. In spite of Alfonso's pro-
testations, there is trouble in his
kingdom, and it would not surprise us
to learn that he has decided to be-
