LABOR PARTY RECOG-
NIZES SOVIET RULE
ONLY DETAILS OF PACT TO BE
ADJUSTED LATER

Lcndon.-The British Labor PARTY
cabinet, in a special communiore is
sued thru the foreign office, announ-
ces that it has decided to grant full
recognition to the Russian Soviet
government as soon as possible.
James O'Grady will be the ambassa-
dor to Russia.
This is the first official act Of the
new Labor Party government and
comedies with pledges made during
the campaign.
The decision of the Labor Party
government will make Great Britain
the first major power to recognize
the Soviet government. According
to the Russian Trade Mission, headed
by M. Rakovsky, negotiations for rec
ognition had been progressing before
the labor party came into power, but
the death of Lenin interrupted them.
They will be resumed in a few DAYS
to determine a number of minor con
dltlons bearing on recognition. Rak-
ovsky said he did not believe that
the death of Lenin would have anv
effect upon the attitude of the Labor
Party government.

COUNTY AGENT
NOTES

Several corn variety tests were
conducted throughout the county the
past year. In these tests a large
number of varieties of corn was used,
and also different strains of the same
varieties. One thing that was deter
mined was that there is a big diff
ference between strains of the same
kind of corn. In fact there is per-
haps a bigger difference between
strains than there is between varie-
ties. For this reason it is very inn
portant to know where the corn has
been raised that is used for seed. To
know that the seed used is N. w.
Dent is not enough but it should be
known where it was grown, whether
it is acclimated for this county or
not.
This year the corn variety tests
will be continued, and a large num-
Der of strains will be tried OFT.

CORONER'S JURY

OIL WHITE WASH
NO VOICE is RAISED FOR DEAD
AT PEKIN

Pekin, Ill.-Bouquets for the Corn
Products Co, and a verdict attaching
no blame for the Jan. 3 explosion
that took AZ workers lives, marked
the hearings by the coroner's jury
into the Industrial disaster.
No one ventured to push himself
forward against the powerful Stand
ard Oil subsidiary and point out that
the absence of suction fans was prob
ably the principal element in the
causes leading up to the starch fac
tory blast. No one called attention
to the fact that since the union was
broken and the open shop instituted
the union precautions against danger
had been junked and deadly compe-
tition for production records stimu-
lated by the company among its three
shifts.
Instead, one employee was induced
to testify that 'tas far as he knew the
company did everything possible to
keep the plant cleaned up" Others
said there had been safety first lee
lures by company officials and lots OF
notices to be careful. The cOroner's
jury found that the men came to their
deaths "as a result of burns and in
juries received at an explosion and
fire which occurred at the Corn Pro
duets plant at Pekin, H., on the
morning of Jan. 3, between the hours
of $3.50 and 4:30 a. M" The blame is
not fixed

MEN TO GROW Boards
IF WOMEN BOB LOCKS

Melston, Jan. 22.-Because of a
recent bobed hair epidemic among the
married women OF Milestone, the men
of this place are threatening to start
a new style themselves, and that is
to allow their boards to grow.
Several reasons are given for the
proposed move by interested parties
and one of them is that the local bar
Der shops are so filled with the fairer
sex having their locks shon that
mere man has no chance at a chair.
Then again, the men say, the recent
cold weather has offered a good ex-
cuse for beard production, as it is a
well known fact that fully developed
whiskers prove an excellent barrier
to frost and chill winds.
The women. to date, have no com
ment to make concerning the threat
ened action by the men.

WHAT CONGRESS
WANTS TO DO WITH
ALIEN WORKERS
(Bv c. E. Ruthenberg)

(This is the first Of a series of
articles which the Daily Worker
will publish on the laws which
are now pending before Congress,
directed against foreign-bOrn
workers who wish to come to this
country and those in this cOun-
try.)
A vertable avalanche of bills di-
rected against foreign-bcrn workers
who wish. to come to this country
and those who are in this country
have been introduced in Congress.
Not less than twenty-five such meas
ures are now pending before Con-
gress, having been referred to the
Committee on immigration and Nat
uraization for consideration.
These laws all seek to make it
more difficult for foreign-bom work
ers to come to the United States. par
or with a leaning toward Trade
Unionism, and endeavor to make it
difficult for the foreign-born workers
in this country to organize in unions
for the fight for better wages and
working conditions.
For many years the great employ
ers of this country seemed only too
anxious to have as many foreign-born
workers come here as they could in
duce to emigrate to the United
States. In fact, many great indus
trial organizations maintained agents
in Europe who advertised far and
wide for workers willing to come to
this country.
Now all this has been changed. The
foreign-born workers who was urged
to come here previously seems 10
longer to be welcome Those foreign
born workers who are in the United
States are to have all kinds of re-
strictions placed upon them to safe
guard the employers against danger
which they seem TO think threatens
them from these fOreign-bOn work
ers.
The reason for this change Of heart
is unquestionably to be found in the
general radiCaliSation of the workers
in Europe. The triumph of the work
ers and peasants of Russia has left
its impress on the workers of every
ether European country. The Ameri-
can employers fear the foreign-born
workers because they fear that the
ociiiC llAiuCllNC Has ellACCbCu kllCill clliO
that these workers will Join in the
struggle against the industrial sys-
tenn thru which they make their pro
fits. They cannot get along without
at least some labor from Europe. To
cut off the supply of labor entirely
would reduce the labor available foI
further development of American in
dustry which has for over half a cen
fury depended upon the foreign-born
workers for the increase in its pro-
ductive power. The employers there
fore are between the devil and the
deep blue sea so far as this problem
is concerned. They must have for
eign-bon workers, but they are
afraid of the foreign-born workers
Hence they are casting about for al
sorts of restrictive legislation thru
which they can make these foreign
born workers willing slaves of Ameri
can industry.

ARREST REVEALS
GIRLS SACRIFICE.
Struggles Bravely to Support, on
Meager Wage, Five Brothers and
Sisters.

Missoula, Jan. % The pitiful
story of how a 17-year-old girl is
bravely struggling to support five
brothers and sisters and to give them
schooling on the meager wage she is
able to earn in a local business house,
was brought to light when the oldest
boy, aged Is, was arrested because
he is alleged to have exhibited a gun
with the threat he would shoot vari-
Gus persons heads off" Then the
climax came when he threw his sis
ter's hat into the street after a quar-
rel.
Heart-Rending Tale.
1t developed that the lad, evidently
not capable of understanding the stu
ton, had grown to the point where
he thought he was too big to be
"bossed" by his sister. Under ques-
tioning, he unwound a tale-slowly,
mingled with tears-of how he had
been held back in school due to ill
ness when the family lived in Arkan-
sas, and how the family had Jared
since coming to Montana about six
years ago.
Evidently everything had been con-
genial so long as mother lived and
father had work. Then the family
moved to the Flathead. One thing led
to another and the head eff the family
was obliged to leave the land where
he had been led by the dreams of a
future that would give his loved ones
the best of advantages, and he came
to Missoula to seek work.
Mother is Dead.
That was four years ago. Two
years ago the mother died. Then,
in search of work his resources at
at end, the father was compelled to
go to the coast in search of work.
Occasionally he finds some. What
ever pittances he can send to his
children, he sends. But they are far
between, and at best far from being
sufficient
In the meantime, the 17-year-old
girl inexperienced and without a
mothers guiding hand, is attempting
to bring up her brothers and sisters
! in a manner that she believes her
mother would have done. But that
is not easy when one has to work
| from 900 O'Clock until 600 o'clock,
then go home and take care of the
house and feed hungry mouths.
When asked what he had to eat
for breakfast, the boy at the police
station answered, nothing" He said
that all they had to eat, it seemed
was potatoes. He spoke as though
his sister was to blame, but the Off
GERS knew better. They knew that a
girls salary would not stretch very
far for six months. and she has to
keep up her appearance at work.
Had it not been for the boy who
has reached the "cantankerous" age,
the plight of the children, the oldest
one not more than eff high school age,
probably would not have been known.

SENATORS WANT TO
HEAR FROM FARMERS
Progressive Senators Want Farmers
to Inform Them in Regard to Leg
isIatiOn for Their Relief-Suggest
Community Meetings.

Washington, ID. 9.
January goth, 1924.
TO THE FARMERS
OF THE NORTHWEST:
Several so-called relief measures
for farmers have been introduced IN
the present Congress. Each of these
bills undoubtedly has some merit and
some OF them have been widely adj
vertised and a vast amount of pro-
paganda has been inaugurated. Com
paratively little interest has been
shown by actual farmers themselves.
Some members Of the Committee on
Agriculture have wondered why.
There is imperative need for legis-
lation which will tend toward stabill-
cation Of prices of farm products
Farming must be put on a paying
basis. Congress has helped other in
dustries, why not agriculture
We believe the Norris-Sinclair Bill
will meet the situation, help the farm
ers and reduce the cost Of living for
everybody. We want your opinion.
Is the situation serious enough
and this question of legislation of
enough Importance to warrant the
farmers taking a day off and getting
together to talk the question over?
We believe it is. Congress wants to
know what the farmers really want.
VIII you tell them?
We urge that meetings be held by
farmers in each precinct not later
than Saturday. February 9th.
If you are interested, get together
adopt resolutions, sign petitions and
send them to Washington as soon as
| possible. Let us hear from you.

LENIN FUNERAL
VERY IMPRESSIVE
Cablegrams of Sorrow Arrive In
Moscow. Russia, From All Corners
of the Earth-Russian Stunned By
Loss of Beloved Premier.

Moscow, Jan. 24.-The body of
NikOlai Lenine lay last night in the
villa at Gorky where the great boil
shevik premier, stricken with a fatal
illness, spent most of the last year
of his life.
Early today a group of Communist
party leaders and members eff the all
Russian soviet congress passed thru
Moscow's silent and snowladen streets
to the railway station, where they
boarded a train for the little village
They were to return late this after
noon as the official escort of their
chieftain's basket, following it to the
hall of columns in the House of
Unions, where it will lie in state un-
til Saturday, the body of the man who
spent most of his life in fighting the
mobiles who once danced in the great
room that is to be his place of re-
pose during the four days of official
mourning.
Only Lenine's widow, his mother
and some of his most intimate asso-
ciates in the Communist party kept
the death watch in the GorlSv village
throughout the night. AS this little
group awaited the coming of the ese
cort, there were pouring into Moscow
a flood of cablegrams that showed
that the world mourned the dead
chieftain deeply. The messages came
from organizations of workmen in
many cities of Europe, from the Com
munists of all nations who venerated
Lenine as the high priest of their
political and economic faith and. as
formal condolences, from such Of the
governments which have recognized
the Soviet federation.
Vast Russia herself, from the far
fling villages of Siberia to the towns
of the Cnmea, is dazed by the pass
ing of her premier
Troops eff the Moscow garrison
with fixed bayonets were scattered
about at points for blocks around the
railway station and the House of
Unions this morning keeping the
streets clear of traffic in preparation
for the arrival of Lenine's body.
No one was allowed to pass except
members of the official funeral party
and its invited guests. The streets
