that the average wage per month in
Wisconsin is $91, while that Of the
country as whole is sos.
Plenty of Pathos.
He spoke with pathos Of the poor,
poor children who were taken out of
the factories and placed into schools
but forgot to mention that there were
still in the factories in his home state
twice as many children as in the fac
tories Of the state of New York, altho
that state has twice as many chill
dren.
He pointed with pride" at the num-
her of milch cows Wisconsin has and
at the great percentage Of dairy prod
ucts produced but forgot to mention
how this great number of cows is dis
tributed among the farmers of that
state.
He forgot to mention the fact that
his Legislature during the 1923 session
rejected bills providing for the eight
hour day on public works and state
printing, for one day rest in seven,
for unemployment compensation, for
old age pension and for the abolition
of the private detective agencies. He
forgot to mention that the courts Of
Wisconsin and the state militia are
being used against labor just as in
the cossack ridden state of Pennsyl-
vania.
Every important issue in which the
American workers are vitality inter-
ested were conspicuous by their alb
sence from his talk. Instead he re-
peated the same old twaddle about the
government being perfectly good and
our institutions admirable. The only
defect he could find was that an I'M
scrupulous bunch of politicians have
taken control ow the White House and
that they, the self-appointed saviors,
are going to drive the money changers
out of the temple and bring the gov
eminent back to the people Blaine
finds only one objection to both old
parties: 1.-THE trouble with them is
that they recognize the existence Of
certain evils, but they are too coward
ly to correct these evils" 1t is GER
tainly to be regretted that there were
not more workers present at the meet
ing to be thoroly disillusioned with
the "progressivism" of these politi-
clans.
Communism Danger to Republic.
Dudley Field Malone Of New York,
one of the other speakers, made a
few pointed remarks from which we
CLEAN the most interesting. Speaking
on the necessity of supporting La
Toilette, he said: "If we fail in this
election two things will happen. There
will be a Strengthening of reaction on
one side and spread of Communism
on the other side. Both are a dan
ger to the republic"
Malone, unlike Blaine, expressed
his assurance that there will be or
ganized a labor or third party, but
not party that will bring red revo-
luton to our shores, but rather q
party that aims at class collaboration.
One More Capitalist Party.
1--WE want" he proceeded, "a party
of intelligence not of hatred. A party
to bring good will among the classes"
If there was any doubt in the mind
Of any worker present Mr.. Malone

SPILLED the beans" by stating in so
many words that, if new party is
organized, it will be just one more
capitalist party.
Malone concluded his talk by a
strong bid for the feminine vote. He
announced to all present that he will
vote for every woman running for con-
gress, immaterial whether she runs
on the republican or democratic tick
ct and after praislng a few women
candid ties who are running on a "give
us a chance platform" he gracefully
retreated.
The chairman here took occasion to
warn the audience that the literature
being distributed at the entrance was
not the official LaFollette literature.
He was referring to the Special Phila-
delphia Campaign Edition of the
DAILY WORKER, copy Of which
even found its way into the hands of
Governor Blaine himself
Les Miserable.
1t would be an inexusable offence
not to mention our friends of the So
cialist party. They have been pushed
into the background to such an extent
that they will surely welcome little
publicity There is the manager Of
the Forward, the agent of abe" Ca
han, who is doing his level best to "de-
bunk" the Jewish workers from any
such silly idea as class consciousness.
Leo Harkins. members of the national
executive committee Of tn socialist
party and secretary of local Philadel-
phia is also in the audience.
One would have expected these in
dividuals to look happy, but even a
casual glance will prove otherwise.
They feel positively miserable and
what's more they show it. The men
ton Of the red flag by Blaine is met
with jeers and scornful laughter.
Blaine speaks about the black flag and
a few anarchists in the back of the
hall make boisterous objections; but
the S. P.-ites do not object to the slur
against the red flag. No; they are
partners in this affair. Not single
speaker from the socialist party takes
the stand. They have been RELOCATED
to back seat in spite of the supreme
sacrifice" of giving up the ghost of a
once powerful organization.
The Masses.
Every effort had been made to bring
out the masses. The Forward was
positively hysterical in it's attempt to
bring its readers and yet the workers
of Philadelphia refused to be stamped
ed. The gallery remained unopened.
The balcony was but sparsely coloniz-
ed and huge gaps were to be seen on
the main floor. The poor attendance
was so apparent that Malone went out
Of his way to tell an anecdote in
which Abraham Lincoln was said to
have had much smaller attendance
ut one of his meetings. The character
Of the assembly can we'll be judged
by the long rows of machines parked
along Arch street. The owners OF
these machines applauded vigorously
when Blaine spoke of the thousands
Of miles Of good roads in Wisconsin.
One red faced individual became so
enthusiastic that he attracted the at
tention Of the whole audience by his
almost inhuman shrieks of approval,
such as any Mohawk chief would have
been proud to place in his favorite
collection Of war whoops.
In spite Of the very eloquent appeal
for funds the chairman announced a
little over 500 collected. This is sig
nificant especially since there was no
admission charge.

tries is not complied so that computa-
ton of weekly income is impossible.
The earnings shown include bonuses
for wife and two children.
Goldsmith shows the low .purchas-
ing power of these wages compared
with prewar By comparing the weekly
income of a skilled worker in the
MEAL trades with the cost of mini
mum budget. The present income of
1856 gold marks compares with bud
get cost of 9S gold marks, while in
1914 the weekly income of the same
worker amounted to 29.70 gold marks
and the cost of the minimum budget
to $3.50 gold marks. She says:
These figures indicate that before the
war the income of a skilled metal
worker. somewhat exceeded the neces-
sary outlay whereas at the present
time wages represent only about 80
per cent of the necessary living costs. "
Radical increases in wages, she
concludes from discussions with Ger
mans workers and labor leaders are
improbable. Wage stability was so
welcome that a number of unions &C
cepted wage reductions at the time
of sterilization. The treasures of the
majority of local and national unions
are depleted. The lengthening of the
working day produces, at least tenn
porarily, a sufficient labor surplus to
keep wages down.
