The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-06-20

1t has already been demonstrated in the ST. Paul
convention that the workers and farmers gathered
there are determined to firmly establish party of
their own, class party that will draw the line
clearly and sharply against all the capitalist or
CARNATIONS and their henchmen.
This was demonstrated when in the opening
speech of temporary chairman, VIM. Mahoney, the
convention gave demonstration to the statement
that this gathering was called to lay plans for
taking the national government out of the hands
of the capitalists and putting it into the hands of
the workers. No other point aroused the emotion
of the delegates.
1t was demonstrated again when Senator Taylor
Of Montana, elected permanent chairman by an
overwhelming vote, declared that this convention
should not adjourn until it had formed a class
FarmerLabor party and named its candidates for
national Offices. The convention rose spontane-
ously in cheers to this statement.
Again the 700 delegates expressed this determin-
alton when it greeted with an ovation the speech
of Duncan Mcdonald, vice-chairman who declared
that no politician who still sat in the councils of
the Teapot Dome parties should dominate this con
vention and prevent the formation of a Farmer
Labor party eff La Toilette reproaches us that
we are reds, we reply, then you're damned vel
low" said Mcdonald amid cheers
Time after time, whenever occasion offered, the
workers and farmers declared their undying oppo-
stion to all the political institutions of capitalism
their determination to tear them down, and their
intention to break here and for all, with all
non-working-class organizations.
Hail the battling workers and farmers at ST.
Paul May they carry thru their high mission, un-
shrinkingly and with a firm hand On with the
struggle against the domination of Wall Street!
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-06-20

If the new class party of farmers and workers
isn't making a ripple in this G. O. P,-Jackassed
land it is remarkable that the leading capitalist
papers in the country watching it thru the eyes
of their star scribes. At st. Paul we find the
Associated Press and its lesser rivals represented
in the press box with score of reporters for the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES g-broadsheets
These capitalist scribes are at enormous pains
to declare-in one, two and three column articles
that the movement of workers and farmers is in
danger of being captured" by Communists. We
never knew before that they were concerned about
the workers and farmers Now they are concerned
enough to send out spurious interviews with the
temporary chairman and other prominent farmer
labor folks about this terrible danger
Taking interviews is old stuff for the brass check
papers, But it doesn't get over so we'll any more.
The workers and farmers are hep. And all the
taking that bosscontrolled papers can do about
"Reds" cannot change the facts under which the
workers have to live. The miners whom Duncan
Macdonald told about in his speech are out of
work-because of Encouragement by the capital
lists that the brass check represent
The miners know that the same papers that are
so devoutly alarmed at the danger to the farmer
labor movement recently howled for the blood of
the Herrin workers who resisted murderous com
pany gunner and scabs. The same papers
screamed for the rope for the Centralia loggers
who shot fascist raiders
The working class wants jobs under decent con-
ditions and it wants safety. Those are its mini
mum wants. More and more of the worker farm
ers want lot more. They want the full product
Of their toll The Teapot Dome capitalist parties
can satisfy none of the workers. wants-because no
party can serve two classes. So the producers of
America have decided to get the government into
their own hands.
Wall Streets sees this danger to itself That is
why it's kept press is on deck at st. Paul in the
hope of stemming the tide with newspaper dam.
1t can't be done. The class party is on its way
to power.

Ford's Philanthropy

Office employees and executives of the Ford Motor
Company in Detroit will go without their custom
airy two weeks vacation this year. Instead they
will have Saturday off for twelve weeks.
Henry is one of Americas most successful
several years ago by putting his plant on five
dollar day basis Every worker in his plant did
not get five dollars but the papers did not take
the trouble to notice that little item.
Ford made millions. He speeded up his work
ers, He introduced new efficiency systems. Fliv-
vers began to dot the landscape. Henry became so
wealthy that he thought he could stop the Eur
opean war. Failing to accomplish that purpose
he declared war on the Jews and has not yet sus-
pended hostilities but the Jews are very much
alive. That is the kind Of a war we like-a war
where nobody gets hurt.
Fords new scheme now begins to unfold. Henry
put his factory employees on five day basis
six weeks ago. His factory employees never mad a
vacation OF course they only get paid for five
days If they can produce as many fivvers in five
days as they formerly did in six, there is no good
reason, says Henry, why his Office force should
take longer than five days to supervise production
There is no union among Ford's employees.
Henry can do just he pleases with them. He
is the champion robot maker of the United States
and apparently he has entirely escaped the atten-
ton Of the highly paid organizers of the American
five day work week with less pay for the work
ers but more profits for Henry. He is a great
philanthropist!

The Missing Link

The Chicago Tribune regrets that the platform
on which the corpulent g. o. P. will stand on in
the next election campaign has missed plank
calling attention to the injunction evil Had such
plapAx been included '1abor support would have
been more definitely secured" says the organ of
Big Business.
We never expect sense Of honor from a cap
italist paper but one is justified in expecting that
an occasional flash of humor might enter the brain
of the hired hack who turns his masters ideas into
editorials.
One might as well expect prosperous bootleg
ger to join the Anti-Vostead League, or a holdup
man to favor the arming of all civilians to ex-
pect the anti-labor injunction experts who wrote
the republican platform to wallop the injunction.
No, Mr.. Tribune, the workers are easily enough
fooled and many of them will vote for the Coolidge
Dawes strikebreaking ticket, but they learning
fast, both from their experience with the two in
junction parties of capitalism democratic and re-
publican, and from the propaganda of such pa
pers as the DAILY WORKER that there is no
hope for them in either party, and the seductive
promises made to them by those parties before
election will no longer prevent them from causing
their lot with their own party, the FarmerLabor
party.
