TREATY
VICTORY Anglers.
LLOYD GEORGE
Cries Russia Won't
Have to Pay

Especial to The DAILY WoRKER)
LONDON, August 7.-Soviet
Russia's success in the treaty
negotiations with the British
government has aroused the
wrath of David Lloyd George.
The late premier of Great Brit
ain, who sent invading armies
into Russia in the early days of
the BoIshevik regime, made an
attack in the House of Com
mons on Arthur Ponsonby,
British negotiator, for surren-
dering to the Soviet diplomats
on the issue of Czarist debts.
He emphasized the fact that
Russia is not obligated to pay
any specific sum in return for
the advantages which the
treaty will secure her.
Further details Of the proposed
treaty on which M. Rakovsky for Rus
STA and Arthur Pononsby for Great
Britain have agreed, show that the
8ritishN claims against Russia are to
% examined by commission on which
Russia shall be represented. Russian
claims against Britain are also to be
scrutinized and after accord has been
reached the British government is to
guarantee substantial loan to the
Russian government.
Britain comedies the Soviet admin
istration the right to monopolize for
eign trade and will not press for the
return Of industries, nationalized dur
ing the revolution, to former British
private owners. The Bolshevik rep
resentatives were adamant on this
point The fruits of the revolution
could not be sacrificed for foreign
loans.
Before the treaty goes into effect
it must be ratified by the British Par
Lament and by the Moscow author
tiles. Further amendments are ex-
pected.

Hegewisch Strikers In
Stronger Position
By BARNEY MASS.

Work in promoting a local
in Hegewisch of the Inter-
national Brotherhood of Rail-
way Carmen is progressing
rapidly and we intend to do the
same in every factory in this
territory" said Organizer E. K.
Hogan yesterday after a sue
cessfuI meeting with the West
ern Steel Car Foundry COM
pany employees.
The position Of the striking
car men, has strengthened con-
siderably and the prospects of
the workers look brighter.
Hogan opened the daily strike meet
ing and explained to the men that the
steel interests are planning big de-
velopments of the industry in the Cal
umet region, owing to the inducement
of low wages and no organization.
The only way the open shop interests
can be beaten, said Hogan, will be
thru organization offering higher pay
for the car makers, and controlling
the speed up system.
Hogan reprimanded the men who
were accepting work in other shops
for scale and showed them the in
consistency Of their acts. The strik-
ers applauded Hogan enthusiastically.
Mccarthy, Mass Speak.
Jack Mccarthy of the Trade Union
Educational League followed and
stressed the Importance of the men
in combining all their discussion on
the strike to the meetings. Mccarthy
said, nothing should be mentioned on
the streets as many company stool
pigeons are sneaking around looking
for all information to be had. He al
so showed the role which the T. U. E.
L. is playing in the strike.
The writer speaking for the Young
Workers League pointed out the ne
cessity or getting the women folk in
to the fight as the miners have done
in all their struggles.

The Cyclone Abb.

But he has an alibi He claimed the
bank was operated in a grain shed
and that cyclone hit the building
and blew away the traces of the fin
ancial institution. Leave it to Len.
1t is not necessary to remind the read
ers Of the DAILY WORKER that
Small is being PANIED for the collec-
ton OF interest illegally held from the
state while he acted as treasurer. II
is charged that he loaned several mil
lions of dollars to the packers at 8
per cent, turned two per cent into the
treasury and turned the balance into
his own bank in Kankakee credited to
the account Of Len Small. That's
what the story says. Small throws
big Mt over this charge.
Is Small Normal?
II the governor could not show any
proof besides an elusive cyclone, that
Grant Park was not "phantasy''
such as "Dickie" Loeb might nurture,
he had witnesses who testified that
senator Edward G. Curtis, who is al
legged to have managed the bank exist
ed in the flesh. They said he was a
banker but had no sign on his door.
II might have been junk shop or a
crap-shooting den for all the unlocked
might know from looking at It,.
The quizzing OF Small continues
but nothing tangible results. An al.
ienist might be more successful than
the states attorney.

Mrs. Anna Lourie of Houston, Tex,

of the Franks boy. Mrs. Lourie ad-

that perhaps race prejudice might in

Mrs. Loeb, who is said to be a
Christian Scientist, has planted many
Christian Science practitioners in the
courtroom to "hold the right thot,"
in an effort to free her son, according
to reporters. Now comes a woman
from the COW country trying to call in
a squad of Jewish Rabbis to save the
boys from the gallows.
Meanwhile, Loeb and Leopold, con-
tinue to wink at the newspaper men,
talk philosophy, enjoy the extensive
publicity they are reaping. and scorn
the workers. Leopold says he cares
nothing for the dirty Hebrews. The

notoriety to bother with economies.

FARMER-LABOR
SECRETARY TRIED
TO HALT SAM
(speoIaI to The DAILY woRKERl

Especial to The DAILY WoRKER)
ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. THE en-
treaties of William B. Wilson, former
Secretary of Labor, were not success
full in inducing the executive council
Of the American Federation of Labor
to continue its allegiance to the
Democratic Party, and throw its in
fiuence to John w. Davis in the COM
ing election.
To Wait For Davis Speech.
Mr.. Wilson wrote to Mr.. Gompers
asking him not to make his decision
until Davis had delivered his accept
ance speech but the organized work
ers are so disguised with the Demo.
cratic and Republican parties that
had Gompers taken this advice a cy-
clone would have hit him.
The present attitude of the Demo-
cratic Party toward labor is no diff
ferent to what it was in the past and
Sam always swallowed the ticket.
What made Gompers switch his po-
sition now, is not because Morgan
placed his attorney at the head of the
Democratic ticket, but because the
&c. p. P. A. stole a march on the fed
Grafton by stealing its non-partisan
political policy, making it's own Of
it and hanging out its shingle with
as much as to say: "All those in the
market for labor votes are cordially
invited to come inside. The rival
4irm of Gompers and Co., has lost
contact with its victims. We have
adopted the most up-to-date methods
Of selling the workers, painlessIy
This method is a proven success on
the continent of Europe. All offers
no matter how insignificant, will be
courteously accepted.
"(Signed) William II. Johnston"
Feared Loss Of Business.
The fear that the profitable bust
ness Of peddling the labor vote would
go to the rival house, compelled
Gompers TO drop his allegiance TO the
Democratic Party, at least for the
time being. In every statement is
sued from his sick bed since LaFol-
lette was endorsed, can be seen the
challenge and the warning to John
ston and Company to keep off the re-
servation. The A. +. OF L. will in
sist on leading the workers into the
LaFollette party as IL led them into
the Democratic Party and into the
World War.
There was q report that the execu-
tive council was divided over the
question Of endorsing LaFollette.

SMALL'S GRANT
PARK BANK JOINS
BIG MYSTERIES

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, August T.
Banks are usually pretentious build
ings and rarely invisible. Sometimes
the depositors find that this rule does
not apply to their money, which
mysteriously makes itself scarce leav-
ing them holding their pass books.
There are exceptions to every rule
and now the prosecuting attorney OF
Illinois and Governor Small are con-
Quoting an interesting debate on
whether or not Grant Park bank,
where state funds were deposited
while Small was treasurer, was a re-
atty or merely Pigment Of the Small
imagination.
Mystery Deepens.
SO far the testimony has not brought
out any facts to prove the bank ever
existed. Small was on the witness
stand before Master in Chancery
Briggles, but not alone did the gov.
ernor fail to produce cancelled
checks, check book stubs or even
cigar butts TO show that he ever had
any business dealings with the alleged
bank but he could not show a post
card picture Of the building where the
mystery was supposed to be housed
Some people dodge giving their
correct age by saying they were born
In San Francisco and that the records
of their birth were destroyed during
the great fire, but they can at least
point TO pictures of the wreckage
Small cannot even show a cinder.

To the superintendent OF the United

scribe the position which that acad-

To the great majority of the Amer

training school wherein the embryo
tricacies peculiar to the science of
naval warfare. Actually, as Lieut..
Commander Tisdale will explain in
detail. the academy at Annapolis

True Mission.
The true mission of the Naval
Academy is not to train scientific
lighters. to develop John Paul
Joneses. but is. in the words OF Rear
Admiral Henry B. Wilson, U. s n,
present superintendent of the acad-
emy, ito mold the material received

and truth, with practical rather than

DEFEAT OF RADIO
TAX SEEN BY Dill

The proposed 10 per cent tax on
radio apparatus will not be adopted
by Congress while radio is in its un-
developed state. Senator Dill of Wash
ington predicted in an address broad
cast last night by station wRC. Sena-
tor Dill also declared that the copy
right law is ambiguous and was never
intended to apply to radio broadcast
ing.
Those who placed the provision in
the tax bill for tax on radio ap-
paratus. Senator Dill explained placed
this new medium of communication
and entertainment in the same brack-
ct with nah -jong. which indicates
that they looked upon radio and NAH
jong as being in the same class of
entertainment and luxuries."
Tho greatest service that can be
done for radio by Congress is to help
keep radio free from any kind of
monopolistic control. I believe we
should keep all taxes Oft receiving
sets and wherever possible lift un-
necessary burdens from tho broad
casting stations. 1t is significant
that those who desire to make
charge for permission to use their
music frankly said before the COM
mittee considering the copyright bill
that they believe the owners of re-
ceiving sets should be required to pay
a license fee. to be used ~ support of
broadcasting stations" Senator Dill
declared.
