NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Thousan nds
of workers again gathered here, this
time in front of the Manhattan
Opera House, to let the Fascist de-
putty and world flyer, Antonio Loea-
telli, know what the opinion of the
Italian workers in this country Is
about the black gang with which
he is associated.
"chevalier" EmanueIe eatti, leader
of the Fascist in New York, and
LocateIli were treated to dose of
their own medicine for a change,
when the indignant workers pounded
them and other Fascist sympathiz-
ers on various parts Of their bodies.
Police interfered again, and kept
LocateIi safely in the theater; and
after waiting for some time for the
crowd to dlsperse, they finally es-
corted him to a motor car when the
anger of the workers let loose.
In the affray detective was
stabbed and an alleged member of
the |. w. w. is being held. His
name is Anthony cioffo. The po-
lice claim to have a confession, but
the experiences of radicals in such
matters should be enough to cause
disbelief in this confession" un-

Plotting to Clean Up
Farmer-Labor Party

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Sept. H.
The moves of Bob" and Burt" to
scuttle the Montana farmer labor
party are not meeting with the sue
cess they at first anticipated. The
pointblank refusal of the farmer-la-
Dor party convention at Helena to
withdraw its electors in favor of an
Independent set to be put on the bal.
lot here was something in the nature
of a bombshell in the camps of the
two would-be dictators.
Some five months ago, Wheeler sent
Dorman, former non-partisan league
manager in Montana, into the state
for the purpose Of reorganizing the
G. p, p. A., and advancing the candid.
ature OF Senator T. ]. Walsh. After
some months OF labor. Dorman was
successful in getting twelve men to-
gether who endorsed Walsh and other
reactionary candidates in the name
OF the G. p. p. A. Dorman counted
on the support of the railroad unions
for his endorsements. This was part.
ly frustrated by the widespread pub.
licity given to Dorman's maneuvers by
two well-known farmer-labor leaders,
p. J. Wallace and Senator Chas. II.
Taylor, in the liberal and radical press
Of the state. As result the railroad
brotherhoods repudiated the endorse.

pany, including many office
employees, straw bosses and

to retain their jobs in spite of
the immense Iay-offs of the past
months, William z. Foster,
Workers Party candidate for

from among the real working

The vote polled for John Wallstreet

Thousands Cast Their Ballots.
The food of workers that pours
every noon time from the gates of the

! ped them into the ballot boxes which
the party had provided. By means of
this straw ballot, a cross section of the
political opinion of the $4,000 workers
in the company was secured.
"Mother" 5loor Speaks.
AT one corner of the Western Elec-
trio plant a tremendous crowd of men
gathered about the platform from
which Ella Reeve Mother" Bloor de-
livered a ringing appeal to the work
ers to throw their votes to William z.
Foster, the only working class candi-
date in the field. She explained how
the candidates of the old parties, by
the very nature of the parties, could
never be of service to the workers.
how the party" of Robert M. LaFol-
lette was appealing to the workers
of the country with carefully phrased
and illusory misstatements. She went
on to tell of the work of Foster in or
ganizing the men in steel mills dur
ing the strike of 1919, of the record of
the Workers Party in giving aid to
all of the striking workers it has been
able to reach.
Thousands Lose Jobs.
Mother" Bloor ended by directing
her listeners, who by that time were
packed about her in solid phalanx,
to the ballot boxes to register their
choice.
The large vote cast for Foster is all
the more significant when it is re-
mebered that over 10000 workers
have been laid off at the Western
Electric Company during the past four
months, and that when the periodical
firing process begins, it is the scissor
bills who are chosen to remain. Very
seldom is any consideration shown for
worker who has shown tendency
to radical thought.
Surprising incidents occurred dur
ing the poll of the straw vote. A
well-dressed Office worker-perhaps
boss-held out his hand for ballot,
placed it on the box, and marked It
plainly and deliberately for William
2. Foster. A number of seemingly

THE American press in China is
~ calling for an aggressive Ameri-
can policy for that country. The
American policy is not wanting in
Rggressiveness, but at times polite
ness is tried and if successful our
secretary of state does not show the
mailed fist. The Chinese policy of the
Washington government is dictated by
the interests of the capitalists who
have interests in China. They will
see to it that firmness is used when
ever necessary. The American CAPT
talist agents in China are blaming
France for not signing the Washing
ton agreement thus disturbing Hughes
policy in the Orient, with the result
that Peking recognized the Soviet
government.
THE news appeared in very remote
corners of the daily papers that
The Russian embassy in Peking,
where the Cars ambassadors used to
hold out once upon time, is now in
possession of the Soviet ambassador.
Gradually the nations of the earth are
forced to come to the conclusion that
Lhey must deal with the Soviet gov
ernment. Those who still expect that
the Soviet government can be over
thrown are more optimistic than is

DEATH TOLL IN
WYOMING BLAST
NOW THIRTEEN
Horror Scenes abound
in Mining Town
Especial to The Daily Worker,

NoPectal 10 ne Daily Workerl
KEMMERER, Wyo., Sept. II.
Scenes of anguish and grief
abound in the little mining set
tlement of SubIet, seven miles
north of here today, as stricken
wives and children waited at
the mouth of Mine No. S of the
Kemnerer Coal company where
terrific blast at noon yester-
day snutfed out the lives of
what is estimated to be fifty
miners and other workers.
A check up early today by
company officials declared that
sixty-four men were in the
bowels of the earth when the
explosion took place, instead of
the eighty-one previously cal
culated.
Thirteen Dead.
Thirteen dead bodies had been re.
moved early today and it was expect.
cd that the work of bringing up the
victims of the disaster would move
more rapidly as the day wore on, the
gas and fire conditions gradually
clearing up, according to reports of
rescue workers. Yesterday the smoke
and fire were so intense that it was
some time before the frantic efforts
of hundreds of rescue workers could
gain entrance into the mine, the por-
tails of which have been shattered and
the passageways Uttered with debris
by the explosion.
Cheers rent the air when IL men
were rescued alive last night, unin.
jured, since they had been entombed
In chamber above the seventh level
when the blast occurred. But a group
Of mothers and children and kin
mournfully followed the truck that

tification in the undertaking parlors of
Fitzpatrick and into the Odd Fellows
Hall.
No Hope For Rest.
Little hope was held out early to.
day that any Of the remaining men in
the mine would be fetched out alive.
The explosion came few minutes
before noon. Luckily it was pay day,
and of the 200 men usually employed
in Mine No. 5, only few score were
working at the time. The explosion
was Immediately followed by a great
flash and fire started at once. Large
columns Of heavy black smoke poured
from both entrances of the fatal mine.
Hundreds quickly gathered around
the mine despite the heavy downpour
of rain accompanied by an electrical
storm. Volunteer workers arrived
soon from Rock Springs, Diamondville,
Cumberland, and Frontier, and they
will split into four shifts.
Many expert mining men expressed
the belief that it would be many DAYS
before a complete exploration of the
mine can be made because of the ex.
tensive damage done the interior by
the terrific blast Timbers were splin.
tered, rails twisted and great cave-ins
of rock and earth hindered the prog.

for victims of the disaster.
A Regular Occurrence.
The Kemmerer disaster is another
OF the long line of mine explosions in
which hundreds Of coal diggers have
been the victims, making profit for
the employers at the risk of their
lives. Recent disasters occurred at
Benwood, w. Va, Corby, MINI,
Shanktown, Pa, and Johnston City,

NATIONWIDE
SURVEY finds
NO Rent DROP
Either Standing Still or
Being Raised

Despite the fact that the
growing unemployment, which
is being used by the employers
of the nation to lower the wages
of the workers in industry, has
not enabled the worker in many
instances to maintain the same
standard of living he enjoyed
during the war, rents have not
been decreased in proportion.
In fact, a nationwide survey
conducted in all the principal
cities of America, from one end
of the country to the other,
shows that not only have rents
remained stationary, but that in
many instances the landlord
hogs have increased the sum
which the worker has to pay
for his two by four. The fol-
lowing are typical cities:
Baltimore Rents At StandstilI.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 17.-Rents here
have remained practically stationary
since the high mark in real estate val.
ues was reached year ago. The de.
mand for apartments has been es.
pecially heavy, often resulting in a
fiat bringing in more revenue than a
whole house. Many cases have been
cited where the lessor Of a house has
converted floor into an apartment and
derived more than enough income to
pay the rent of his home.

 Out in Oklahoma, and in many other places that felt the power of Jake Hamon during his remarkable career, they smile indulgently at the determination of the. diminutive sixteen year old, with the. golden bobbed hair and the pearly teeth.

 Jake's "baby gar' was the apple of his eye. No matter what he was in his busi- ness dealings; no matter that he had af- fairs with women; !; 4io matter whether or not he co1ispired with others to secure an exalted position of trust from his country for.his personal ggrandizement-his love for his "baby gal" was one of the beau tiful things of his. life. Big, rough, un- couth, with the voice of bull and hands that gripped like a wise, the greatest political and financial power in Oklahoma was instantaneously transformed into wo- manly gentleness at the sigh of his little golden-haired "gal" She. would run to meet him as he came to their home in Ardmore, and it would seem that he would crush the life out of her as he smothered her in his strong arms. He would nuzzle her and whisper "baby talk' to her and blush like schoolgirl if anyone heard him and roar like lion in an effort to cover up his sentimental side.
 Sometimes he fooled them, but he never fooled Olivebelle. She would beat his expansive face with her tiny fists, push her fingers into his eyes and pull his shaggy mane; and Jake would purr like a niotAeE-cat and beam with delight as he hugged her close and whispered, "GOd love you, you little angelo
 The. great test of paterial love came when Olivebelle wanted drum. That was the first evidence of her musical bent, as it were. Jake bought her half dozen drums, and when she wanted "bigger one" he bought her base. She pounded the drums all day long and drove her mother and the servants almost mad But to Jake no music of symphony orchestra was half as sweet.
 Then came the time when she dropped the bass drum for the violin. She showed

 "I don't see how they can defame a dead man as they have my father" said Olivebelle after her return to Chicago from Washington. "He, was one of the most wonderful men in the world Every one knows what he did for Clara Smith, and Jess Smith and Roxie Stinson only turned against him when they found they could not get anything more out of him.

 She was still child when the great tragedy came into her life and robbed her of her adoring father. She was at school when she was told her father was shot, and it was really not until after his death that she learned the particulars.
