HAWTHORNE CLUB
FAILS TO SUGARCOAT
SPEED-UP SYSTEM

Only 10000 of the 10000 employees
who belong to the Hawthorne club
Western EIectric's brass band,
boss-tooting organization, which
feeds man up on patriotic parades
to make him forget how hungry he
is-are allowed say in how the
club is to manage its affairs.
Every employe in the plant Joins
the Hawthorne club. But vote in
the club is dependent on years
work in the company. When the
votes in this years elections we're
counted, It was found that only 1o,-
600 had been cast.
Out of the men and women who
were hired last year at Western
Electric, only one-fourth have been
able to put up with conditions in
the plant for year. Not more
than one out Of four can survive
the speed-up, piece-work system, at
an average wage of $1s week, for
a IL months period.
The most willing slaves, those
who will stick by the bosses at any
cost, remain to control the club
elections and the club activities.

MURDERER OF
MATTEOTI HAS

Mussolinii's Right Hand

ROME, June 22.-An agent Of
the fascist party named Dumini
has broken down and made a
complete confession of the kid
naping and murder of the
Socialist deputy Matteoti, 1t has
been learned.
At first defiant, Dumini WiIted
when undeniabIe evidence was
presented against him and ex-
posed the entire plot.
The confession positively inn
plicated Caesare Rossi, former
director of publicity for the de-
partment Of the interior, Fillipo
Fillipelli, editor of the Corriere
d'Italiano, and Marinelli, adj
ministrative secretary of the
fascist party. All are fascists.

assassins. He admitted he HIM

The body has not been found.
At least that is the official report.

to the question being asked
everywhere as to what the rela-
tons Of the G. p. P. A. will be
to the great Farmer-Labor Par
ty movement sweeping the
Northwest and now invading
the East.
Political observers here are of the
opinion that this statement cuts the
last ties between the trade union Of
ficials, the LaFollette movement, and
the vague liberal sentiment surround
ing them, on the one hand, and the
class Farmer-Labor party forces on
the other. The LaFollette-Johns
group are determined that there shall
be no party, and they are going to
any lengths in their endeayor to
kill 1t.
Disruption Plans.
It Is also pointed out that an indie
pendent candidacy Of LaFolIette
would be the most effective means
of striking at the Farmer-Labor party.
Even where, as in a few states, La
Toilette might ask the Farmer-Labor
party to put him on their ticket, the
effect would be to isolate these state
parties and leave them helpless, and
then to build up dual machine of
LaFolIette committeeman, drawn
from middle-class and professional
elements, that would invade and take
over or destroy even the strong state
parties.
Why They Hate Communists.
LaFollette and the c. P. P. A. have
declared war against the Farmer-La-
Dor party. Therefore, as matter Of
course, they hinge their warfare upon
a denunciation of the Communists.
AS at st. Paul, SO in every union and
in every city and state, the Commu-
nists are the one force fighting for
the preservation and building up of
the Farmer-Labor party. This is the
explanation of the extreme bitterness
shown by VIM. H. Johnston in his
statement against the Communists
and against the st. Paul convention
in which they were included.

Treat 'ern Rough" is
New Slogan of Open
Diplomacy Advocate

LONDON, Eng, June 22.-"Treat
'em rough and tell 'em nothing" in
stead of open diplomacy" is the new
slogan Of Ramsay Macdonald. To try
and get any news Of the conference
between Premier Herriot Of France
and Macdonald, which is being held
at Chequers today, is as easy as open
ing an oyster with boxing gloves.
Ramsay is not only keeping his own
mouth shut; he is sealing the lips of
Herriot. The French newspapermen
who usually follow Herriot have been
chased back to Paris at the sugges-
tion of the exponent Of "open diplo-
macy"
The defense of this attitude which
Ramsay uses is that he told newspa-
permen things which he labeled mot
for publication" which they used.
Frank Simonds. correspondent of a
New York paper, is one of the men
charged with violating MacDonald's
confidence. He is now leading the
yelps against Ramsay.
The Chequers conference between
Macdonald and Herriot today will be
about putting the Dawes plan into OPP
Grafton.

HOAN
DIFFER ABOUT
WAYS TO Die
S.P.COnUention Between
the Devil and Deep Sea

Especial to THE DAILY WoRkER.)
MILWAUKEE, June 22.-
Hesitating between the devil Of
LaFoIIette and the deep sea Of
the Communists, the state con-
vention of the Socialist Party of
Wisconsin is torn between con-
fIicting ideas of how to avoid
destruction in the political
storms now raging.
Victor Berger, representing
the policies of the S. p. nation
ally, says that the convention
must vote to go along with La
Toilette under any circum-
stances, making provisions to
guard the Socialist Party from
injury. But he has made no pro-
posals as to how this is to be
done.
Daniel w. Hoan, Socialist mayor
of Milwaukee, has introduced reso-
luton, now in committee, which de-
clares that the workers and farmers
of Wisconsin must fight against any
candidate or organization that does
not indorse a labor party
Opinion prevailing here is to the
effect that even if the Socialists at
Cleveland, July 4, should indorse La
Toilette and go along with him ma
tionally, as Berger and Hillquit adj
wise, that the Socialist party in Wis
consin would be under the necessity
OF fighting against him on pain of de-
struction. AS Wisconsin is the only
remaining spot where the S. P. has
any organization left, this forecasts
the complete disappearance of this
derelict hulk of what was once po-
litical party before the November
elections are over.
Unions In Bad Shape.
Leo Krzycki executive board mem
Der of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers. addressed the convention
today He reviewed the situation of
the labor movement, and prophesied
tremendous defeats for the workers
unless they Immediately reorganize
the entire structure and methods Of
the unions.
Krzycki pointed out that the build
ing trades and railroad trades were
the only ones able to act today in de-
Tense of their working conditions, and
the latter is powerful only to the ex-
tent they are still able to influence
railroad legislation. The clothing
workers and miners, hitherto power
full organizations, are in a precarious
situation owing to the terrible unem-
ployment. In all other industries
large scale assault against wages and
hours is imminent.
All members Of the Socialist party
are instructed to join labor unions
and become active therein, according
to q resolution adopted this morning.
