FIGHT IS ON FOR
FARM RELIEF BILL

Washington, D. c. =. The McNary
Haugen farm relief bill, which has
been belabored in committees for the
greater part of this session of con.
gress, was thrown Saturday into the
ring along with other major meas.
ures the leaders are attempting to
dispose Of.
Already reported out by the house
agriculture committee, the measure
has been brought sharply to the front
in the senate by the announcement Of
Senator Norbeck, republican, South
Dakota, that he would offer it as an
amendment to the tax bill to see what
the senate thinks of the farmers of the
country"
Advocates of the bill decided to seek
the aid of President Coolidge in their
fight to bring about enactment of the
measure.
In the house, leaders of the farm
bloc" began the circulation of petitions
which will be transmitted to the White
House. They point out the need for
legislation along the lines of the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill; set forth that there
is an overwhelming sentiment in the
farming regions for its passage, and
urge that its enactment be facilitated.
Supporters of the measure hope to
hr~fv 10 l..
two weeks and to rush it to the senate
in time for action by the body before
adjournment.

and issued the call for the convention
consisted Of seven already existing
farmer-labor parties, including the
Federated Famer-Labor Party, to
which last the Communists of the
Workers Party are affiliated. The
class idea was the dominant idea in
the conference and the sentiment for
welding the whole movement into one
national farmer-labor party on June
18th Is stong and growing among the
participants in the arrangements for
the convention. That both these fac
tors will grow stronger there can be
no doubt. The presence in the con-
vention of the Communists, who
stand squaely and fight aggressively
for the organization of a national
patty and the domination in it of the
class idea is the best guaantee of this.
Convention Holds Oct Great
Possibilities
"This st. Paul convention holds ont
tremendousu possibilities. If we sue
coed in our aims there and crystallize
in one body the revolving elements of
the workers and tenant and mort
gagged farmers formulating a class
program and establishing an aggres
sive leadership, the political revolt of
the oppressed masses will move for
ward with giant strides. A success
full convention at st. Paul on June
18th will mean that the workers as
distinct class, in alliance with the
poor farmers, have stepped onto the
political stage in America 70 the first
time. Such an event will have a pro-
found influence, not only upon Amer
lea but upon the entire world.
"We are not alone in this appraisal
of the significance of June 18th. The
enemies of the Independent working
class political movement are alive to
the dynamic possibilities of this con-
vention in st. Paul. They have COM
menced to fire a tremendous volley
of denunciation and misrepresentation
against it.
Real Fight Assured For Glass Party"
"The capitalist press, and that part
of the labor press which serves the
capitalists, are fighting the st. Paul
convention with all their power.
Their aim is to defeat the rank and
file movement for an independent
class party, to stee the workers back
into the capitalist parties, or into a
third party dominated by the petty
bourgeoisie. There is no mystery in
the fact that they single out partici-
patton by the Communists in the June
18th convention for particular attack.
The presence of the Communists-th
driving force in the genuine labor
party movement-assures that a real
Tight will be made for the formation
If national party on a class basis.
by the workers and poor
farmers. This is what the capitalists
and their labor agents fear the most.
This is why they are making such
light against the Communists in con-
1ection with this convention"
This revolutionary organ, edited
1ominally by Earl R. Browder. but
really by Foster, puts it up to the
militant" or revolutionary workers
as the biggest issue of the hour. They
are warned to make the fight for
The June II convention the biggest
issue in the labor movement" which
IS another way of saying that bona
Tide labor issues are to be sabotaged
TO suit he plans of the disruptes and
revolutionists.

PRESIDENT VETOES
RAISE IN PENSIONS
Coolidge DisapprOVes Bursum
Bill on Grounds That In
crease Is UnWarranted.

Washington, d. C.-President Cool
idge vetoed the Bursum pension bill,
providing increases in pensions for
veterans of all wars except the World
war.
The Bursum bill contemplated an ex-
penditure Of approximately $5S,OOO,-
600. A similar measure was vetoed
two years ago by President Harding
for the same reason which moved
President Coolidge-that is, economy.
"No condition exists" Mr.. Coolidge
declared. (which justifies the imposi-
ton of this additional burden on the
taxpayers"
The bill provides for increases in
the pensions of the veterans of all
wars up to and including the Spanish
American war and of widows and de-
pendents of veterans of all wars from
1912 to 1909. Civil war veterans would
have their pensions increased from
$50 to S72 a month and their widows,
now getting $50 a month, would re-
ceive $35 and $45 a month, dependent
on age. Spanish-American war and
other wars, excepting the World war,
veterans and their widows would re-
ceive prOportionate increases and q
few MANNED World war veterans
would receive additional cOmpensa-
ton.

ter off than their fellows in private
employment.
"But these efforts are gener-
ally unsuccessful and the Gov
eminent now relies wholly upon
the extraordinary powers recent
" accorded to the secret police
and directed chiefly against in
dustrial workers with counter
revolutionary tendencies.
'Now, after desultory campaigns
against the New Economic Policy and
financial parasites the turn of the
factory workers has come. Against
them the systematic underground ter
rorist methods of the secret police
have already been set in motion.
Reds Fight for Lives
'The Bolsheviki have entered this
third phase reluctantly, but they are
faced by an irresistible spirit of OPP
position and are really fighting for
their lives. Their enlistment in the
Communist Party of 100000 'Lenin
factory recruits is intended to rein
force their paltry $4,000 factoy mem
bers and enable them to carry out the
third phase of the terror successfully
and COW the proletarians, just as they
cowed the intelligentsia and the peas
antry.
"They realize that this campaign is
an extremely desperate one, but they
rely on the reorganized and recently
'purged' Red Army and the special
punitive and other attachments of the
secret police to quell possible local
disturbances quickly by display of
ruthlessness."
Labor Revolt Impends
The prospects of successful revolt
are not so hopeless as they were.
Neither Red Army nor army of spies
and police, nor Soviet bureaucracy
can go on without being paid. The
bankrupt Soviets' last prospect of
raising money lies in the negotiations
now going on with the British Labor
party government in London. 1t is
already evident that the Communists
will get no money there. When the
negotiations break up, probably with
in few weeks, the whole machine of
violence and persecution must begin
to crumble and it will be increasingly
difficult for the dictators to suppress
the growing labor revolt, no matter
how ruthless and bloody they may be.
