the state of Massachusetts and also
to be an open and implacabale enemy
of the eight-hour day in all Of his
plants.
Miller, another hacker of Coolidge,
was shown to be like Butler, mil
lionaire and like Butler was shown
to be union batter and advocate OF
the open shop and strongly opposed
to the eight-hour day. Butler is the
campaign manager of Calvin Cool
idge, and if Coolidge is elected labor
can rest assured that he will be found
on the ride Of big business at all
times, as he was in the strike of the
Railroad Shopmen in Their last strike.
In other strikes the capitalists
went into court and asked for injunc-
tions but in this strike we have the
spectacle of the government going
into court thru its Attorney General,
Harry Daugherty, and asking and get
ting one of the most drastic injunc-
tions, and, you see all the powers OF
government marshslled on the side of
big business.
In the light of this record, stated
Gitlow, can labor think for one min
ute,' that he will not be on the side of
the millionaires as against their class,
the working class?

that in the struggle of the workers

politics played it's part in emphasize
ing the class struggle of the work

that every form of activity would
have to be resorted to in their strug-
gle for power.
International activity was enlarged
upon by Gitlow and the necessity of
the workers being united with the
Third International and that in this
way only could the workers of this
country act in unison with the work
ers of India, Russia, China and Eu-
rope in stopping the great war that
was pending and threatening to once

One of the most effective speeches
ever delivered in the heart Of the
steel and iron territory was that made
by Benjamin GltIow, VIce-presidenta
candidate on the Workers Party
ticket, in the Hlppodrome, oirard,
Ohio short time ago.

aFollette, and he proceeded to dis
cuss these in one of the most power
full speeches 1t has been the good for
tune Of the writer to have heard in
a long time.
The first candidate to feel the
wrath Of Gitlow was Silent Calvin
Coolidge, and in opening his guns
upon him the question was raised
whether he was working man and IL
he was a member Of labor union,
with a negative answer in each case.
The record of Coolidge was raked
with grape shot for the part he had
played in the Boston Police strike,
and the part he took in breaking that
strike, against the inhuman conditions
which the police had tried to rem
edy by going out on strike.

RICH YOUNG KILLERS
NOW SAFELY SETTLED
IN THE JOLIET PEN

Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard
Loeb today occupy their cells in
Joliet PenitentIary. The two rich
young murderers of Robert Franks,
against whom it is now charged that
their money saved them from the
death moose, are sentenced to serve
in prison for the rest Of their nat
uraI life and go years more. How
they will serve the other 80 years
after they have kicked the bucket is
not explained.
It is beginning to be rumored, on
good grounds, that they will not
serve more than five years of their
term. Clarence barrow, chief de-
Tense lawyer, is already making
statements to the press that in a
short time both Of the sIsyers will
be obiously insane. Insane people
are removed to insane asyIums.
From the insane asylum to the pri-
vate sanltarium is only short dis
lance and from thence to real free
dom, still shorter, especially If there
is such an obIIsng governor like
Len Small in power by that time.
In the meantime the two super
men will be obliged to eat their
daily apology for a meal together
with ordinary crooks, second story
men, confessed and professed kill
ers, con men, crooked labor leaders,
and abseondins bank cashiers.

.1O6 POLITICAL
PRISONERS ARE
STILL IN JAIL
Gitlow Case Expected to
Come Up in October
tey Ia Eederated Pressl

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE total Of
political prisoners in America is being
percepitibly reduced, according to fig
ures compiled by the American Civil
Liberties Union. Eighteen politicals
have been released in five states this
summer This leaves a total Of LOG
men serving penitentiary sentences
under criminal syndicalism laws or
peace-time sedition laws in six states
as compared in 121 three months ago
in eight states. Three new politicals
have heen added, however, under an
anti-boycott law in Maine.
All the 106 politicals are members
of the l. w. w. All but IL are in Cal
ifornia penitentiaries. The Golden
State is the only one still prosecuting
under criminal syndicalism laws. Ill
inois, Pennsylvania and Arkansas
have released all their political cap
tives. The states still incarcerating
men for their opinions or for mere
membership in the l. w. w. are listed
as follows: California, with "a, Wash
ington, 5; Idaho, 1; Oklahoma, 2:
Kansas, l.; and Maine, 8. Seven more
convicted men out on bail include six
members of the Workers Party.
Appeals are before the courts in
Kansas and Oklahoma, and the Union
is hopeful that all the IL men held
outside of Chicago will soon be par
doned.
GItlow Case This Fall.
THE fate of the criminal syndical-
list and sedition laws hangs upon the
decision of the U. s. Supreme Court
in the case of Benjamin Gitlow of New
York, expected this October" says a
statement issued by the Union. THAT
decision will determine whether or not
the states have the right to penalize
mere expressions of opinion. In the
Charlotte Anita Whitney case from
California, which will be argued be-
fore the U. S. Supreme Court this fall,
the court will be called upon to de-
eide whether mere membership in a
radical organization can be penalized.
Whatever the decision of the court
in these cases, it seems likely that as
practical matter, these laws are at
present headed for discard"

during April the coke began to
move to the Urals and now
shipments are a matter Of
daily routine.
Coal sells slowly at present and we
have large quantities stored against
the winter market. We are shipping
barge loads down to Tomsk by the
river. In the chemical plant we have
developed coal tar which is richer
than tar produced in any other ooun-
try. We have also raw benzol, heavy
oils, light oils, clear benzol, naptha
and pitch. The latter is also of ex-
ceptional quality. The ammonia is at
present going to waste, excepting such
as we use for fire extinguishing ap-
paratus in the plant.
Orders Coming In.
All the by-products are stored in
large containers where they are ready
for immediate shipment. We now
have orders from Moscow for Sub

BABSON BEMOANS
WAGE DEMANDS OF
STREET CAR men
These Common Workers
Are Simply Awful
10y The Federated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept, 14-Roger
Babson, in a current confidential cir
cular, protests that street railway en-
ployes are showing "a deplorable
tendency" to demand 70 cents or even
so cents an hour, when they "are, for
the most part, only one step removed
from common labor" Babson argues
that a man can be taken from the
ditch and in a few weeks be trained
to run a street car, and, by virtue of
his new position and contact with the
passengers, develop into a higher
type Of man than he would have be-
come If he had remained in the ditch.
1t should not be forgotten, however,
that the source of supply is the ditch
and the unemployed from other trades
who will be looking for work with the
advent Of cold weather, no matter
what business is" Babson says he
does not oppose reasonable wage in
creases, but in this case the demands
ARE unreasonable" and should be
stoutly opposed in the interest Of "the
entire community" and the real estate
values.
Boston Common has lots OF free
dodgers, these nights, Babson finds,
and this indicates that fresh timber"
for car crews is easy to get.

District Judge Dickinson of the Hen

ion here today declaring the "one-day-
rest-in-seven" law, passed by the 1923
Minnesota state legislature, unconsti-
tutional.
This law provided that employees
must have one day of rest for each
six working days, save in listed ex-
empted occupations.
This bill was introduced by the
Minnesota State Federation of Labor,
and was looked upon as a distinct
victory for the working class in this
state.
Labor's Ire Aroused.
The reactionary officialdom used the
passage Of this bill as a Justification
of their old-guard political policy.
The action of the District Judge has
caused considerable adverse comment
among the labor officials in this state.
R. ID. Cramer, editor of the Minneapo-
lis Labor Review, when informed of
the courts decision said This decis-
ion proves what many of us have be-
