ILLINOIS COAL
DIG GERS HEAD
FOR LAFOLLETTE
Already Committed to
Small for Governor

SPRINGFIELD, Aug. 12.-Immedia-
tely after the decision of the Illinois
La Toilette campaign committee to
support governor Len Small in the
state elections, Frank Harrington, pres
ident of the Illionis Miners Union who
had already made deal to support
the governor willy nilly, announced
that he would support La Toilette for
president and do his level best to con-
vince the miners to give the Wisconsin
senator their votes.
Harrington took a slam at the social
lists, practically excusing himself for
being found in the same political cor
raj with them. This seems to be the
favorite sport of labor takers these
days. But the poor socialists display
an admirable Christian meekness by
maintaining a discreet if not dignified
silence in the face of the insults hurled
at them by their allies.
The decision of La Toilette to back
Small may be the means of putting
former mayor Thompson off the re-
III nio sdiiAiCty " punish
Fred Lundin, Mr.. Thompson was will
ing to back an independent candidate
for governor against Small. AS the ST
tuation stands now, Thompson is all
dressed up politically and has no place
to go.
Newton Jenkins, who ran for senator
as La Toilette Independent in the IL
linois primaries is waiting for the call
to do it again, but "Bobs" strategists
are telling him to lay off as there are
some more deals in the offering.
1t is reported that Hearsts is laying
off on the La Toilette crowd. At first
he was inclined to jump on the band
wagon, but La Toilette is a jealous god
and wanted no other god before the
American people particularly a deity
with several daily papers.

LAFOLLETTE'S
RECORD SHOWS

BY That Record
BY JAY LoVESTONE.
Second ArticIe.)

"LaFolIette talks ten times as
radical as he actually votes.
How many truly radical meas
ures has he ever introduced or
even supported on the floor of
the Senate? In fact, LaFoI-
lette"s radicaIism has been evil
dent more in opposition than in
support. i. Unless you class
the Railroad Valuation Act
one of the best legislative things
that has ever happened to the
railroads-or the Seaman's Act
is radical, his name is identified
nationally with scarcely a single
law that truly goes to extreme.
"And most of the legislation he
promoted in Wisconsin is no longer
classed as radical"
LaFoIIette Safety Valve.
This is the way LaFollette was
sized up several months ago to Aaron
Hardy Ulm, the correspondent of the
reactionary Barron's Financial Weekly
by one who has been working init
mately with the Wisconsin Senator in
many Of his advocates.
The above estimate of LaFollette
is, in the main, accepted not only by
the rankest conservatives but also by
some of Battling Bob's" supporters
We are told by the well-known Rich
ard Barry in Hearst's international OF
August, 1922, that the reactionary
Senator Moses of New Hampshire
now high in the councils of Coolidge
said to him of. LaFolIette:
Il disagree with his later policies

grave error for Wisconsin herself to
defeat LaFollette. :"

At the same time, however, It was
stated that President Coolidge is de-
sirous of establishing closer political
bonds with Russia and is hopeful that
the time is near at hand when nego-
tlations may be possible.
"Loan" Business Rehashed.
The chief stumbling block is said
to be the refusal of Russia to recog-
nize her international obligations,
which include, according to the wise
acres of the State Department, the
$233, 100000 debt of the Russian Ker-
ensky republic, which was squandered
by it's ambassador" Boris Bahkmet-
Jeff.
There is also the hitch in the way
Of establishing political relations $50
long as the Soviet maintains it's ac-
tive spirit of enmity to our institu-
tions."
This is the Russian policy formu-
lated by Hughes under the Harding
regime and continued under Coolidge.
Leave Loophole for Action.
A loophole for backing down is be-
ing left by the U. S. in the statement
that it has been watching develop
ments and considers that they are
encouraging" altho they still need
considerable improvement
The negotiation of the Anglo-Rus-
sian treaty has whet the appetites
of the American capitalists and there
is a good possibility that they will
soon cause their Washington states
men to act in accord with their
wishes.

man RUN OUT
OF HEGEWISCH
Bosses Admit Strike Is
More Effective

After an interview With the
employment manager of the
Western Steel Car and Foundry
Co., P. H. ConIan, and the SEQ
rotary to the plant manager,
Rudolph Johnson, in which
they made unguarded state
ments concerning the strike of
the car builders In the Hege-
wisch shop, Karl Reeve, re-
porter for the DAILY WORK
Err, was trailed by four police
men, and finally run out Of the
town.
The cops took him to the suburban
depot where they demanded HIS name
and address and asked what his bust
ness was in Hegewisch. When he
showed them his reporters card, they
took him back to the plant and con-
fronted him with the two petty bosses
whom he had interviewed. The result
Of this meeting was a warning to
Reeve to get the hell out Of this
town as quick as possible and don't
show your face here again"
Both Conlan and Johnson seemed
chagrined at having admitted to
Reeve that the strike was very sue
cessful from the workers point of
view. During the interview they tried
to arrange with Reeve to get the men
to go back to work, altho Conlan adj
mitted that the men would stay out
until they won 'in spite Of what the
leaders tell them to do"
Stool Pigeon on job
johnson, secretary to Mr.. Buckley,
the manager of the plant, told Reeve
that he had been approached by vari-
Gus employment agencies which Of
fered to get the men to go back to
work for a consideration from the
company. He also confessed that he
was seriously considering the hiring
of strikebreakers and that he was in
close touch with the strike thru an
under-cover man, that is a stool
pigeon.
OLFike Is EUectlNes
From an inside investigation of
both the struck plants, the Western
Steel Car and Foundry Co., and the
Ryan Steel Car Co. plant which adj
joins the former, it is evident that
the strike is practically 100 percent
effective. Production is nil and the
bosses are losing thousands Of dol
lars on untitled orders.
Numerous pickets were on the
firing line this morning in an attempt
to pull out the few remaining men
and to prevent any scabs from going
in. Edmond Hogan, organizer for
the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen,
Barney Mass of the Young Workers
League and Jack Mccarthy Of the

PUSH DRIVES
FOR SUBS And
new members
w. P. Merit Stamps in
Great Demand

Re-enactment of the exciting
days of last January when the
DAILY WORKER was adding
two and three hundred new
subscribers to its lists every
day, seems likely as Workers
Party members everywhere are
beginning to respond to the
Communist Merit Campaign
being waged for new members
for the party and new SUBJ
scribers for the DAILY WORK.
FIR. Comrades from east and
west are sending in their sub
scriptions in fulfillment of their
obligation 10 secure each, a
new subscriber and a new
member. The efforts CT the in
dividuals are uniting to build
into the whole a party Of virili-
ty and action. a daily paper of
strength and influence.
While it is too soon to estimate the
results of the campaign with regards
new members, the subscription drive
for THE DAILY WORKER is already
showing marked success. Mainly by
reason of the increased subscriptions
due to the drive, the income of THE
DAILY WORKER which has suffered
greatly during the summer months, is
now again on the upgrade giving
promise of a healthier financial con-
dition as well as a healthier circula-
ton.
Three features Of the present drive
are receiving special attention. At no
previous time since THE DAILY
WORKER was founded has it received
so great an organized effort from the
Party. While hundreds of communists
have devoted their time and energy
to THE DAILY WORKER, still their
efforts have in the main been the eff
forts of individuals. For the first time
the entire party, every member, is
drawn into the campaign for DAILY
WORKER subs. 1t is the organized
feature of this campaign which paints
the future of THE DAILY WORKER
in such glowing colors.
Stamps in Great Demand
Unique in the methods of our party
are the special Communist Merit
Stamps which the Party gives in re-
cognition Of Communist work well
done. For the first time Party issues
stamps which cannot be purchased,
which can only be earned. What Com
munist will rest content until the two
little stamps, one for new Party
member, one for new DAILY WORK
Err subscriber have been earned? "My
dues book is up-to-date" will have a
new significance from now on. For no
member of the Workers Party will be
entitled to such a claim until the
Communist Merit Stamps are there.
Is it any wonder that the Communist
Merit Stamps are in such great de-
mand?

MOSCOW, July 1s (By MaiI.)
There is serious drought in
Russia. There is no use in
blinking the fact. The latest
figures admit that the general
harvest will be noticeabIy below
last years very average har-
vest, in spite of the fact that
very much more land was
planted.
The dry winds of the south,
coming up from the Caucasus
have again caused a total crop
failure in six provinces and
part of four more along the
lower Volga and the northern
Caucasian regions.
l have just returned from a trip
down thru Saratov. The wheat, which
should now be almost ready for har-
vest, is shrivelled at six inches high.
The head of the government Grain
Trust Of this region told me that in
the German Volga Republic, of 600, 900
households only 10000 could feed
themselves. Somewhere about $50, 900
would have to be fed free of charge,
and the rest would be fed by govern
ment loans thru the German Repub-
lies own cooperative bank, secured
by chattel mortgages on cattle.
Drought Like 1921.
He reported that thru all this south
|ern region, the drought was as bad as
1921, the year of the great famine.
However, the sown area was very
much larger, and even this poor six
inch grain is good for making a kind
of bread, half grain, half straw. But,
on the dark side of the ledger, the
population is poorer to start with, as
they sold all they had in the last fam
inc, and are only now struggling to
their feet. So, for the districts af-
fected, all the officials l met said con-
ditions were worse than in the year of
the great hunger, and that means for
many millions of people.
But there will be, everyone says, no
appeal for foreign help. For Russia
herself, turnout the length and breadth
of her land, is in infinitely better con-,
dition. The drought, bad as it is,
has not affected her entire crop, but
only one large and important region
