wealthy god-builders. We find: w. T.
Rawleigh, the millionaire manufac-
turer, as chairman; Dante M. Pierce,
the rich publisher of Pierce's Farm
Weeklies, vice-chairman;. julius Kes-
pohl, a well-to-do merchant; James H.
McGill, an Indiana manufacturer; and
R. F. Koenig, treasurer, director of
port, Illinois, whose principal corre-
spondents are, The First National
Bank of New York, a Morgan concern,
and The FIRST National Bank of Chi
cago. Add to this list, two lawyers
and one author, and you will have the
first statesmen who dedicated them
selves to the cause of selling LaFol-
lette to the working and farming
masses.
In Montana, James H. Baldwin, an
attorney for several Independent oil
corporations, and law partner of
Wheeler, is to be the manager of the
LaFollette campaign.
Rudolph Spreckles the sugar king,
and California banker, is another La
Toilette "angel."
Finally, Herman L. Ekern, who is
now Wisconsin attorney-general, by
the grace of Battling Bob" will direct
the money-raising and financial affairs
of the entire LaFollette campaign.
This is the same Mr.. Ekern who was
for many years an insurance lobbyist.
Still Tied to Old Parties.
Not only does LaFollette have his
multi-millionaire "angels" as the demo-
cratic and republican parties have, but
he and his movement are still tied up
with the same old parties. Senator
LaFollette has one foot-and it is
a very firm foot at that-in the two
biggest capitalist parties.
Thanking Gompers for his endorse
ment of the progressive" ticket, La
Toilette rejoiced that "after deliberate
Judgment the American Federation OF
Labor has adhered to it's traditional
non partisan policy" and vigorously
applauded this non partisan "creed of
citizenship"
When Wheeler was contemplating
his acceptance of the vice presidential
The daily worker., 1924-08-15
Where Are tl1e Federation Officials?

Yet these leaders of labor utter not
one word of protest.
The miners local in Orient, Ill, has
passed a resolution demanding that
the officers of the Illinois State Fed
eration Of Labor and the district min
ers' officials Immediately start an ag-
gressive campaign against the K. X.
KS. They are asking the unions in
Franklin county to join with them in
holding mass meetings and staging
demonstrations against the murder
GUS union-smashing organization.
In Dowell ILL.,, comes the same
story in resolution form. All over
southern Illinois the miners feel the
iron hand of this cowardly gang Of
night assassins. Yet not one whisper
comes from these labor leaders,"
Len Small has the Endorsement of the
X. K. ks, and also has the silent
support of Frank harrington, presi-
dent of the Illinois miners, who went
out of his way in the miners conven-
tion in Peoria to plead with the dele
gates not to discuss the khan.
While Walker, Olander and Nell
son are busy condemning the Com
munists and the T. U. E. L., and be-
traying the labor movement by turn
ing it into an auxiliary for the en-
ployers, the Workers Party and the
T. U. E. L. stand alone amidst this
confusion of class collaboration,
pointing the way of the class strug-
gle, strengthening the ranks of the
strikers in Hegewisch, organizing
the miners for the fight against the
Ku Klux Klan, preparing the workers
for the final struggle against capital
ism.
The daily worker., 1924-08-15

the platoon system in the public
schools Of Chicago, both written and
verbal, is masterpiece of evasive-
ness The platoon system is of such
class nature, it is so obvious an
attempt to turn out the working class
children as future slaves, that 1t
seemed impossible to avoid mention
ing the class interests involved.
Olander, however, appeased his class
collaboration conscience by eliminat-
ing the working class" and inject
ing the word "caste," and objecting
vociferously to the importation of the
Indian caste system into American
life. The recommendation in the re-
port carefully avoided the strength
ening of the teachers councils, be-
cause this would mean the indorse-
ment Of workers control.
While these petty bourgeois labor
leaders are busy trading with the
enemies of organized labor, preparing
their machine so as to cinch their
control over the Illinois labor move
ment, the workers are deserted in
their every day struggles. The Pull
man and the Hegewisch strike mean
nothing to these politicians The
thousands of miners families that
are destitute in the state of Illinois,
are unpleasant reminders of the class
struggle and must not receive pub
licity.
In southern Illinois the Ku Klux
Klan rules by terroristic means.
Only two weeks ago a young miner
was murdered in court by Ku Klux-
er in the uniform of policeman.
Gradually the poisonous influence is
spreading over the state of Illinois.

gN I llll / i u III Il

In the ku KIux KIan pamphlet the
origin of the terrorist group is
sketched, the origin of the first Klan
and of it's modern successor. The
likeness to the hierarchy of the Cath
olic church is shown and to the Span
ish lnquisition. Quotations from
prominent churchmen of many faiths
are given to show how they justified
slaughter of workers in spite of their
Christianity. Robert Minors power

Twelve O'Clock Lunch is a dissert-
alton on the filthy and unhealthy
conditions which prevail in the ma
jority of the restaurants, even those
with fancy prices. 1t calls for the
food workers TO organize in an in
dustrial union TO win power from
the bosses.
These are elemental pamphlets and
written in popular vein so that they
will be easily read by workers whose
class education is just beginning. The
little books do breathe out the spirit
OF the revolution but the engineering
LESSONS must follow so that the
aroused workers will know what to
do when the proper moment to strike
comes.
Revolutionary engineering lessons
are given in the Workers Party pub
lications, the DAILY WORKER and
Labor Herald particularly.

they decide to travel depends upon
which way the political wind is blow
ing. After they have decided to
travel with a certain political group,
then their program and arguments
are shaped accordingly.
Governor Small four years ago was
political crook; he represented ev-
erything that labor should fight
That was the story told to the work
ers by these political adventurers
when Walker aspired to be governor
of Illinois. Now labor is led to be-
lieve that the picture was wrong, or
maybe Small has turned over a new
leaf. They are discreetly silent on
their word pictures of four years ago,
but just as loud in their praise Of
Small as they were in their condem-
nation of him short time ago.
The political wind in Illinois has
settled in given direction, at least
sufficient for this troupe to commit or
ganized labor openly to one of the pre-
sidential candidates From the fact that
they have opened headquarters with
LaFollette, it can be taken for grant
ed that LaFollette has arrived at
some arrangement with Len Small
Being political opportunist, his pro-
gressiyeness will lead him to support
Len Smalrs corrupt republican ma
chine. His announcement Of being
neutral is to appease the supporters
of Newton Jenkins, and to save his
face if by chance Small would be con-
victed on the charge of stealing state
funds.
These loud speakers carefully
avoid even mention that there is. a
class struggle. Olander's report on

1T WOULD take mental acrobat to
follow the recent antics of the
leaders of the Chicago. Federation
and the Illinois State Federation of
Labor in the election campaign, state
and national. Since the elimination
of John Fitzpatrick as leading fac
tor, the Chicago Federation has come
under the complete domination of
Oscar Nelson, the democratic politi-
clan, and Victor Olander, secretary
treasurer of the Illinois State Fedora
tion of Labor, both ardent advocates of
class collaboration, and avowed enc
mics Of Independent working class po-
litical action. Their duty seems to be
to keep the, Chicago Federation good,
in the Gompersian sense, while John
ny Walker, with the aid of such reac-
tionaries as Frank harrington, is sup
posed to perform the same duties in
the state labor movement. Their
present maneuvers are all with an
eye to the approaching State FEEDER
alton convention, on Sept. 8, at Pc
oria.
Nelson, Olander and Walker make
good team. Trained in the school
of corrupt politics, having no inter-
est in the workers as class, they
naturally use the movement for their
own advancement Whichever road

nomination, he made his case very
plain by stating: Il have not quit the
democratic party" More than that,
Mr.. Wheeler went ahead to commit
himself to support the entire demo-
cratic ticket in Montana with the ex-
ception of John W. Davis, the Junior
Senator from Montana declared:
Il will spend most of the summer
campaigning in Montana for Senator
Walsh and the democratic state ticket.
But / will not support the democratic
national ticket" Mr.. Wheeler will
also wage lively campaign to secure
the reelection of United States Sena-
tor David l. Walsh of Massachusetts,
another democrat.
Nationally, the LaFollette move
ment is flirting with William Thomp-
son, former mayor of Chicago and the
Tammany Hall mayor, Hylan of New
York. Mr.. LaFollette is likewise CO.
quoting with Governor Smalps Doodle
outfit in Illinois and scores of other
regular republicans and democrats
thruout the country. Incidentally, it
might be well to note that this is the
same William Hale Thompson who, as
a delegate to the last republican con-
vention, voted to nominate the mil
lionaire chewing-gum manufacturer,
William Wrigley, Junior, as the repub-
lican standard-bearer. In Wheeler's
own state of Montana, the LaFollette
movement is so confused that the
mushroom progressives are even at
tempting to put the democratic vice
presidential candidate, Governo
Bryan, on the Wisconsin Senator's
ticket.
Perhaps the best proof that LaFol-
lette has not yet cut his umbiblical
cord of the Wall Street-owned demo-
cratic and republican parties is to be
found in the fact that he is planning
to endorse in wholesale democratic
and republican congressional and SEN
atorial candidates. One hundred and
sixty-two congressional seats are to be
filled in twelve states. LaFollette
forces have announced that they will
run their own candidates in at most
only sixty-eight constituencies now
The daily worker., 1924-08-15

represented by republican and demo-
cratic party Office holders. In other
words, in the majority of these con-
gressional districts, LaFollette will
call on the workers and farmers to
continue voting for republicans and
democrats.
Little Regard for Labor.
In his endorsing and supporting of
political candidates LaFollette has sci.
dom paid much attention to the opin-
ion of the workers.
In Berger's Milwaukee Leader of
October 22nd, 1920, we find letter by
H. G. Hannahn, Socialist Party candi-
date for Congress in the ninth Wis
consin district. This letter tells how
LaFollette put up Thompson to run
for the United States Senate in oppo-
sition to Frank ]. Weber, Labor
leader. 1t goes on to say: "And here
comes Bob LaFollette and his would
be progressives and would-be union
men and puts up Mr.. Thompson.
That's dirty politics on the part of the
progressives, who, by the way, are
composed of town politicians and fake
labor leaders who are looking to La
Toilette to pick them UP and give
them a better Office, not for the best
interests of the people. but to further
their own ends and keep the progress
sive forces divided"
Today, LaFollette and Wheeler are
.whole-hearted supporters of United
States Senator Thomas ]. Walsh who
has just been denounced by the annual
convention of the Montana State Fed
Grafton of Labor for his anti-labor
record.
OF the eleven chosen to serve as his
joint executive campaign committee,
only two spokesmen of the labor
movement, at best, official labor lead
'ers, William H. Johnstone, of the In
ternational Association of Machinists,
and d. B. Robertson, of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen, have been picked by LaFol-
lette. This is the maximum extent to
which the Wisconsin Senator is ready
to recognize the workers whose mil
lions of votes he is now seeking.

Juneau Man Robbed
 of Seasons Savings

G. w. Branner, who is residing in Juneau, Alaska and who had been oc- cupying a room with Jacob Laukus a proprietor of shoe repair shop of that city, was writing letter to his mother whose home is il Astoria, Oregon, about II o'clock of Christmas Eve. Laukus was at the dance at the Moose Hall and Branner, who is a fisherman, was alone in the room The room is in the rear of the shoe shop and while Branner was writing he heard the front door open but sup posed his roommate had returned and did not look up until he heard some one in the room where he was. Then he looked up and into the muzzle Of a revolver.
 There were two men in the invad- ing party and Branner was instructed to queen. up" which he did, rising from his seat at the table and standing against the wall. His visitors lost no time in shaking down the room, look ing everywhere that there was like. lihood of money or valuables being concealed. In suitcase was $500 which was taken.
 They left by the back door after they obtained what they were after.
