private secretaries, to shoe the
undesirables away from the
vicinity of his private sanctum

Tower, on Michigan Boulevard.
Employs AntI-Labor Spies.
And Butler had no cause to desireto
interview anyone from the DAILY
WORKER, especially not since the
publication of the series of articles
showing Butler, Calls manager, as an
employer of spies and strikebreakers
thru the Sherman Service" polite
name for private detective agency.
1t was especially charged that Mr..
Butler made extensive use of the
Sherman Service" in placing under
cover men in his textile mills at Bed
ford, Mass.
The DAILY WORKER felt that the
series wouldn't be complete without
a statement from Mr.. Butler him.
self. But it was only after several
batallions Of office boys had been over
come that stone wall was encounter
ed in the person of James C. White,
of Boston, Mass, ultra-gallant and
suave, the custodian of the inner con-
science of Mr.. Butler, himself.
If you expect these sleek owners of
industry, by self-proclaimed divine
right, in the New England states, to
confess themselves enemies of labor,
you are doomed to bitter disappoint-
ment. Nothing of the kind
He Is a Friend of Gompers.
"Oh, Mr.. Butler is for union labor"
declared Mr.. White to the DAILY
WORKER. why, he is a personal
friend of Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor"
"Only the other day Mr.. Butler said
to me, Those men and women in the
mills have larger stake in my mills
than have. I can pull out tomorrow,
and still have my interests, but they
only have the mills, or starve. What
else is there for them to do in Bed
ford where they have their homes?
"And Mr.. Butler keeps those mills
running all the year around; and he
pays the workers good wages"
Sticks at Minimum.
'sWhat is the scale of wages in the
mills" the reporter inquired.
81 don't know that, but we have a
minimum wage in Massachusetts, you
know"
Pays Minimum Wage.
Does Mr.. Butler pay the minimum
wages?'"
HE must do that"
But he doesn't pay more"
81 don't know. Is your paper La
Toilette paper?"
mo, our paper is workers paper.
1t is Communist paper"
The polite, suave Mr.. White turned
a shade whittier in the course of the
above explanation.
"Ah, I'll see what l can do to get
you an interview with Mr.. Butelr," he
politely bowed himself out.
Reporter Waits In Vain.
The reporter waited a long time.
But Mr.. Butler did not leave Room

However, the United States in spite
of Secy. Hughes is pushing up at the
expense of the others. Russian i'm
ports in the first quarter of 1924 were
valued at 37,s73,0O0 gold rubles Ga

of more than IS per cent over the

mean Jobs for many workers.

Russia, according to the commerce
department, is more than able to pay
for these imports by the export of her
products which were valued at 1866

twice the value of the goods purchased
abroad during the three months under
consideration.

V..P.L. IS READY
 FOR PLANSMEN
Gobblers Are In Good Shape And Expect
 Victory

BLACKSBURG, Va, Oct. 1O.-(Spe- cial. 1.-The Virginia Poly football squad, 35 strong, left here today for Richmond where they will battle with the Auburn Plainsmen Saturday aft ernoon. All of the Varsity men are in excellent shape and anxious to give a good account of themselves. The game in Richmond marks the first meeting between the two institutions and the Tech Gobblers are out to get the in- itial battle.
 Coach Ben Cubbage has been driving his men hard this week and they have responded nobiy to the grind as matted out by the local mentor. Auburn is much heavier than the Techs in spots but the lack of avoirdupois is more than cOunterbalanced in speed. The Tech backs are Ill in the pink of condition and Rutherford, the GObbler Kicking ace, is expected to figure con- spicuously in the scoring by means of his educated toe. The officials selected for the Auburn game are Mogoffin, Michigan, referee; Jack Class, Lehigh, umpire and Bob Williams, Virginia, head linesman.
 The Tech will line up as follows :: Greene, left end Captain Graham, left tackle; Frey, left guard Moran, cen ter; Ray, right guard; Liehrecht, right tackle; Bailey, right end; Roberts, quarterback; Rutherford, left half back; Eseeck, right halfback; Moss, fuIlback.

Coach Harold l.. Dew has his battlers primed for the fray and will shoot the Panthers onto the field at Munger bowl Saturday afternoon at 2 2:30 o'clock ready for vengeance on the Millsaps Majors. The Millsaps eleven gave the Panthers strong opposition last year and the locals won the game by the bare margin of one point. However, the dope points to heavier victory for the Gold and Black eleven this year and the team is in good shape for the battle.
 A changed lineup will face the Ma jors in Saturdays game. At center Dave Evans, former star guard, will perform in the absence of Rip Rawls and Charlie Ashwander. At the guard will be Pritchett and Weeks while at tackles another change will be made for Cairns will start instead of Green position. At ends Whiteside will start Griffin will call signals with Williams and Black at halves. Captain Red Farr will start at fullback.
 The athletic committe at Birming- ham-Southern college announced Fri day night that it wished to impress upon the football fans of Birmingham the fact that nothing but general admission tick cts would be sold to the Millsaps-P Pan- ther game this afternoon at Munger Bowl. In other words, the tickets are sold on a first-come- -first-served basis, and after the new stadium is filled the overflow will have to sit in the tenn porary bleachers which were construct ed on the eastern side of the field for the dedication crowd E <1
 With the day for the big game on hand, more and more doesis seem that Q big crowd will turn out for this battle. The Millsaps-P Panther game has been likened unto the Howard Panther game from a standpoint of fierceness. Last season the Partners invaded MiIlsaps in their own state and after four quar- ters of as bloody football as was ever seen anywhere, the game wound up with a GO tie. Due to this fact a hotly con- tested battle is expected ali the way through in this afternoons game.

rapidly and it looks like Evans will play center.
 Panther supporters are speculatins on what will happen now that Half macks Curley Black and Bulb Williams will have q chance to strut their often. siye stuff. In the opening game against Auburn Birmingham-Southern was on the defensive until the last quarter of play. And of course against Wander bilt last Saturday the boys were on the defensive all the way, as the Vanderbilt boys piled up such heavy score.
 As the Panthers 20 against a team of their own strength, Bulb and Cur ley will have a chance to show what they can do in the way of ground-gain- ing. Apparently Coach Drew has de- cided to send Red Farr back into the line at guard and Pig Yielding and as sociates will have to look after the full back job in today's struggle.
 The dope is slightly on the Panther to win. It got that way by virtue of the fact that the Millsapinns have never been able to beat the Panthers. Take the scores and showings of the two teams and one finds that Millsaps has really made more creditable showing this year than has the Panther.
 Light Practice
 With the men in pretty bad shape from the Vanderbilt encounter, Drew has been following the practice all this week of letting up on the driving power.
 The backfieid Drew will line up on the field at the start of the game Sat irday will be in all probability Black and Williams at half, Pig Yielding at full, Greek Griffin at quarter. The two guards will be taken care of by Red Farr and Dave Evans, with Ash. wander at center. Turner Scott will look after one tackle, with Cairns at the other. Howell and Whitside will play ends.

as the personal qualities Of the two
linen at The top Of their respective

Neither is of what is generally

Although both are lawyers, Cool

Much has been said recently
about Davis employment as counsel
for Wall streett interests, including
10. p. Morgan & Co. This inevitably
will be made ore Of the points Of
deposition during the campaign.
As a balance TO this, emphasis is
placed by Davis hackers on the
fact that he ONCE was attorney, with
cut fee or retainer, for Eugene
Debs and Mother" Jones.
This was in the days when Davis,
a young lawyer without clients, had
just hung out his single at
Clarksburg, w. va.
Debs and Mother Jones came to
town to take a hand in campaign
to organize mine workers there

insist that what moved him was a
