DETROIT BOSSES
. TO Rustic SCABS
FOR CAR STRIKE
But Organized Labor Is
Ready For Fight
BY SHERMAN BOWMAN
Federated Press Staff Corresponds

Federated Press Staff Correspondent.
DETROIT, May 1.-THE Employers
Association Of Detroit, an organiza-
ton of 70 firms employing two-thirds
of the Detroit factory force, has offer
ed to recruit strikebreakers for the
street railway commission in the event
the $500 platform employees of the
municipally-owned lines here strike.
Chester M. Culver, manager of the
association, said his organization
would canvass member factories for
volunteers to man the cars, explaining
that about 5000 former conductors
nd motormen are working in factories
here.
Lineup of Forces.
This offer from the industrial capt.
talists' local union" throws new light
on the lineup of forces growing out
of the platform-men's demands for
IA per cent wage increase, a readiust-
ment of working schedules to elimin-
ate split runs and recognition of the
union.
The efforts of the acting mayor and
the street railway commission to
wreck the local Amalgamated Assn. of
Street and Electric Railway employees
have been greater than before.
The men were successful in their
previous attempt with respect to
wages and working conditions and
Inominally successful with respect to
union recognition by the city hall. 1t
was agreed at that time, by resolu-
ton spread on the commission rec
ords, that the commission would not
officially recognize the union but
would use the union machinery in ar
bitrations. Local executives of the
union also were kept on the street
railway payroll
Fired Union Officials.
Now the commission has taken the
union executives off the city payroll
because they failed to report for work
on the cars, as ordered by the gen.
eral manager of the lines. And instead
of agreeing to arbitrate thru the union
officials the commission has posted
notices that it will arbitrate only if
the employees choose representatives
at a special election this month, the
commission debating the electoral
methods. This is in spite of a petit
ton by 95 per cent of the platform
men delegating the union officers to
act for them.
The Detroit Federation of Labor is
prepared to throw it's resources into
the balance if break is inevitable.

Turnout the country, the industrial
workers and farmers are uniting their
forces into State and Local Farmer
Labor parties. The political DONNA
ton of the employers, bankers and
open shoppers" is being challenged.
Success has marked these first steps,
in several instances, notably in the
State of Minnesota, from which two
United States Senators were elected
on Farmer-Labor ticket.
To link these local and state parties
together and unite the political organ
izations of farmers and industrial
workers for the 1924 Presidential
Campaign, a National Farmer-Labor
Convention has been called to con-
vene at st. Paul, Mimi, June 18th,
1924.
This call has been issued by the
Committee of Arrangements in the
name of the following organizations:
Washington Farmer-Labor Party,
North Dakota Farmer-Labor Party,
Montana Farmer-Labor Party, Nebras-
ka Progressive Party, Federated
Farmer-Labor Party, Minnesota Farm
er-Labor Party and the Buffalo Labor
Party. Invitations to participate are
based on endorsement of the follow
ing tentative program:
A.-PubIic Ownership. B.-Gov-
ernmental Banking. c.-Publie Con-
troll of all Natural Resources. D.
Restoration Of all Civil Liberties
guaranteed by the Constitution. E.
Abolition of the Use of Injunctions
in Labor Disputes.
The forces of farmer and labor in
the State of Massachusetts are at pres
ent without any political expression
of their own. They must be united to
be represented effectively at the June
+, 18th Convention. This is the only hope
for success in the November elections.
For this purpose, the undersigned
organizations and trade unionists here
by issue call for a State Farmer-La-
Dor Convention to be held at Franklin
Union hall, Al Berkeley street, Bos.
ton, Mass, on June LIST, 1924, at 1000
a. m.
Invited to send delegates to this
convention are: Local labor unions
and central labor councils, workers
political parties. workers cooperative
associations and fraternal organiza.
tions, and farmers organizations
which indorse the principles set forth.
The basis of representation shall be
one delegate for membership of less
than 200, and two delegates for a
membership of two hundred or over.
The purpose of the June LIST Con-
vention is to create an organization
in the State of Massachusetts which
will be represented at the June 18th
Convention at st. Paul, Mimi, to
adopt a State platform, and to NOM
mate full ticket for the State cleo
tions in November, 1924.

Several months past, or from the time
the great national political parties held
their respective national conventions,
the Republicans and the followers of
Senator la Toilette holding their con-
ventions in Cleveland, Ohio, and the
Democrats held forth in New York
City, the great daily newspapers
throughout the country set up the
hue and cry that everything bore out
their predictions that the fight between
Hon. Calvin Coolidge, Hon. John W..
Davis and Senator La Toilette would
be SO close that neither one Of them
would receive majority vote in the
electoral college, and that the presi-
Dental election would be thrown into
the House Of Representatives; that
Hon. Charles w. Bryan Of Nebraska
would be selected President of the
United States.
Millions of short-sighted people re-
siding in all parts. Of this broad land
honestly felt that the great daily news
papers were engaged in dealing out
the right kind Of dope or hog wash,
but the daily newspapers were ten
million miles away from arriving any
where near the true situation and they
we're absolutely at sea when it came
down to feeling the pulse Of the Amer
ican people, for on Tuesday, Novem-
Der 4, the great electorate in the most
silent manner, with their mouths
closed tight, marched to the polls in
their respective communities and with
out making any noise they cast their
votes BY the millions for Coolidge and
Dawes for President and for Vice
President of the United States. The
great tidal wave Of true Republicanism
swelled and rolled all over this fair
land from coast to coast and from the
extreme northern region to the sunny
cline of the far south. The ponder
Gus wheels Of the great Republican
tidal wave rolled onward crushing
down all Democratic opposition, tram
ping millions and millions Of Demo-
Gratis under its huge feet, and after the
thick smoke of the memorable pr6si-
Dental battle Of 1924 had cleared away
it was very hard to locate the spot
where the great host Of Democracy
disappeared below the political hor-
izon never to rise again in this life
The story Of the presidential cam
paign is SO far reaching and so inter-
esting that it is far beyond our ability
to even attempt to write true story
Of it at this time.
1t will be noted that President Cool
idge has SO far received s74 electoral
votes as against l5o for Hon. John M.
Davis, and as against Is for Senator
La Toilette. President Coolidge even
running away with West Virginia, the
home state Of Hon. John w Davis.
The following is the electoral vote
received BY the three contenders for

Another statement issued by the
Department of Justice contained a
copy of a letter regarding fight film
prosecutions from Assistant Attorney
General Earl j. Davis to Senator
Wheeler. the investigation prosecutor.
1t was dated February 10, and an
accompanying statement by the de-
partment said:
Mr. Wheeler has had this letter
and report accompanying it. 1t
would seem that a story attempting
to implicate the Attorney General
with a plan to profit by the use and
shipment of films would fall and fail

The letter follows:

because Of the methods adopted
by those who were interested in the
interstate movement of this film,
speaking generally, there was no oc-
casion for the United States attor-
neys , to communicate with the de-
partment with respect thereto. For
this reason 1t is deemed not improba-
BILE that there are other cases in
which fines have been imposed of
which the department has no record.
The method Of these people was for
some one to approach, the United
States attorney and make known to
him that he had such film, and ask
about exhibiting it. When told that
there had been a violation OF law In
taking the film from one state to an
other, either the individual calling
upon the United States attorney or
some other person would offer to
plead guilty. AS a general rule the
department did not hear Of the cases
