very much amused at Spolansky's
stories. you know how Jake is"
he told the DAILY WORKER, HE ex.
aggerates wildly to say the least"
The general opinion of old time
newspaper reporters around the Fed
eral Building is that the Daily News
was slipped a lemon. I'm surprised
that the News fell for him." said one
reporter, when informed that Chi.
cago's famous one hundred per cent
American is frantically trying to be-
come naturalized. 1.-THE stuff he print
ed was so ridiculous all the newspa-
per men got a good laugh out Of it.
The News probably cut the stun short
because the people got sick Of Spolan-
sky's twaddle."
Real Name shpolIansky
Spolansky was born in Odessa, Rus
STA, in 1891, and came to America in
1909, the DAILY WORKER reveals.
His real name is Jacob Shpoliansky,
but his mania for posing as an Amer.
lean patriot induced him to change it
to its present form. Spolansky, after
working as a cook in a restaurant,
and in lumber camps near Seattle, mar.
ried a professional actress and set
tied down to running an elevator in a
State st. store. Spolansky then did
some dirty work in the army and since
1919 has been known as a professional
stool pigeon.
Spolansky sold himself to the EN-.
ployers during the war, when as an
employee of the treasury department,
he drummed up trade for the interna-
tional bankers. Spolansky came to
the notice of the employers by vigor.
ously pushing the sale Of liberty
bonds.
In fact since changing his name,
Shpoliansky has adopted the psychol.
ogy of typical one hundred per cent
American. He has stooled on his tel.
low countrymen, being especially act
i've in the interests of United States
steel corporation in having good union
men deported to Russia. He has en-.
gagged in numerous side lines, making
his colleagues at the Federal Building
jealous and himself Weather by his
deals in getting Russians past the i'm.
migration officials, according to his
friends at the Federal Building. Spo-
lansky is able, they declare, to work
his liquor and other gratis more sue
cessfully because he is a citizen of
Russia, and it in touch with Russian
monarchists who are anxious to come
to this country and be just as good
one hundred per cent Americans as
Spolansky. They evidently consider
this the land of golden opportunity for
patriots Of that stripe.
Leaves Story, Gets Ha Hal
! Schlotfeldt, from whom Spolansky
is trying to get the naturalization
papers which will make him eligible
for further stool pigeon jobs, had a
good laugh over the picture Spolansky
painted of himself stalking the reds"
in Michigan. That's my home town,
you know" said Schlodfeldt. Poor
Jake had to cover himself I'D with
leaves"
The general reaction to Spolansky's
articles in the News, coming as it
did, unfortunately, at the same time
as Spolansky's difficulty in becom-
ing naturalized, has killed his chances
of being promoted to even the ranks
OF the second rate stool pigeons. Spo.
lansky is now a back number as a
labor stool pigeon, and the Daily News
will have lot of explaining to do.

In Montana, Wheeler, the LaFol-

labor candidate for U. s. senator, and
urges the election OF the democratic
party's national chairman, Walsh, the
corporation lawyer and sponsor Of
anti-labor legislation.
The Chaos Is Complies.
1t needed only the action Of the
Gompers' crowd in New York City,
in endorsing Morgan's lawyer, to
make the chaos complete.
This is only another result made
possible by the war of the socialists,
the Hillquits and the Bergers, OF the
wavering labor officials who made
some claims to militancy, Of the
stripe of Fitzpatrick, Hillman and
Mahoney, upon the conscious EFFORT
OF great numbers Of workers and
farmers, thruout the nation, to build
this year for a real farmer-labor
party. Instead Of building the party
Of the working class, these elements
turned to one Of the worst enemies
Of the farmer-labor party, to q. 8.
Senator LaFollette, and at the Clevc-
land gathering OF the conference for
progressive political action, won sup.
port with the claim that they would
organize a third party" after the
election.
That is one the succuIent phases
Of "the LaFollette illusion" that has
duped large numbers of workers and
poor farmers into supporting the
greatest treason to their own class
interests.
Large numbers Of workers in the
nation, viewing the New York de.
velopments, must retalize that It was
thru the weakening of the farmerla,
Dor party cause, thru the treason Of
the socialists and the so-calIed labor
progressives, that has now made Il
possible for Gompers and his friends
to deliver" their support in New
York to Morgan's Davis and Tam.

When the Mirage Fadss.
The whole mirage Of THE third
party" that was used to lure the
workers and farmers away from their
own farmer-labor party, will fade out
when the American Federation Of La
Dor meets in annual convention at
FL Paso, and takes its stand against
even the least effort to ALLEVIATE the
workers and farmers away from the
two old parties Of Wall Street.
The complete disillusionment VIII
come when the conference for pro
gressive political action, Tammany
Hall-controlled in New York City and
state, gathers in its after-the-election
meeting and does nothing.
Completely disillusioned the rank
and file Of the workers and farmers
must then take up the struggle anew
and blaze new paths toward class
power. Then they will be willing to
listen more than ever to what the
Communists have to say to them.

Spolansky put over such colossal
fraud in the Daily News that William
Fort, who has been writing Spolan-
sky's articles for him, finds himself
out of job Spolansky's services as
special agent Of the bureau of in
vestigation, United States department
of justice, were also cut short at about
the same time that Spolansky revealed
his Americanism to be fake, by max
ing overtures to Federal Judge Camp
BELLS court for his second citizenship
papers.
Fred Schlotfeldt, another 100 per
cent American, admitted to the DAILY
WORKER that Spolansky may not get
his citizenship papers as soon as he
would like to have them. TITS a tick
fish subject, now that Spolansky has
been writing those red Stories" said
Schlotfeldt. "Spolansky will not be
able to get his papers outside the
regular channels, and must post a
notice Of intention to file 80 days pre-
vious to court action"
OSWH III TIC MOulns
Spolansky's wire pulling has made
him very irritable, for he swore vilely
at the DAILY WORKER reporter
when asked how he was getting along
in his so far unsuccessful attempt to
become a hundred per cent American.
Spolansky's Americanism means
money to him, for he cannot very well
continue his denunciation of class con
scious foreigners and praise of one
hundred per cent American scabs
now that the DAILY WORKER has
exposed the fact that Spolansky is
still knocking to be admitted as a
one hundred per cent patriotic eiti-
zen.
A member of the editorial staff Of
the Daily News, evidently ashamed
OF Spolanskys bunk in the Daily
News, told the DAILY WORKER that
Spolansky is trying to get the paper
to print the rest Of his series which
has not yet seen the light of print
He was hard put to explain why Spoil
anskys articles were cut short after
such prodigious advertising.
News Steers Clear of Responsibility.
e. G. Dennis, managing editor of the
Daily News, refused to place the re-
sponsibility for Spolansky's lies on his
paper. "Spolansky must be respon-
sible for his own statements" Dennis
told the DAILY WORKER. Il will
be glad if you win point out any cor
rection in his stories" After the
DAILY WORKER reporter had point
ed out three lies in one sentence of
Spolansky's bunk, Dennis coughed
and sputtered and after a long pause.
replied, II thank you very much for
giving me the correction"
No one interviewed by the DAILY
WORKER had good word for Spoil
ansky. ]. Hamlin, chief of the bureau
OF investigation of the United States
department Of justice, said his depart
ment had given SpoIansky no aid in
his articles. II don't know much
about Spolansky. l didn't know any
thing about his red articles until /
saw them advertised on the bill
boards" Hamlin told the DAILY
WORKER. He even refused to say
that Spolansky was a good stool
pigeon.
"Jake" Exaggerates Wildly.
Special investigator Jamie, another
stool pigeon who worked with Spolan-
sky, told the DAILY WORKER. "Un-
less they're good investigators they
don't last long here. Spolansky wasn't
with the bureau very long. We did
not consider him an old timer. You
know what kind of stuff Spalansky has
