BIG DRIVE ON TO
BOOST DAILY WORKER
CIRCULATION IN GARY

A drive to increase the circulation
of the DAILY WORKER in Gary, In
diana, is well under way, with good
results already Undertaking.. The
DAILY WORKER will be sold this
week in front Of the gates to the steel
mills of the United States Steel cor.
poration. The DAILY WORKER can
also probably be bought on all the
newsstands of Gary within the next
few days
Comrade Heinrichson, circulation
manager of the DAILY WORKER for
Chicago and vicinity, is spending some
time in Gary organizing subscription
drive and taking subscriptions from
house to house. Several local comrades
will spend much of their time during
the drive taking subscriptions to the
DAILY WORKER.
In connection with this drive, Karl
Reeve, reporter for the DAILY WORK
Err, is writing a series of articles on
conditions among the workers in Gary,
exposing the platoon school system in
stituted by Ebert Gary, and revealing
the domination of the town of Gary
by the United States Steel corporation,
where 80 per cent of Gary's workers
are employed.

pushed over on the remnants of

William II. Johnston, president

POLICE CLOSE
STRIKE HALL
IN PATERSON
Notorious Tracy Tries
to Break Labor Ranks

PATERSON, N. j., Sept. %.
Armed guards are blocking
the entrance to every labor hall
in the city which might be used
as a meeting place by the
striking siIk-Workers.
John M. Tracy, chief of po-
lice, has closed Turn Hall, a
building located in the Latin
quarter" of Paterson, into
which thousands of strikers
crowd every morning to hear
their leaders tell of the con-
tinued success of the workers.
Stop Open Air Meeting.
Harry M. Wicks, member of the
Workers Party, who has been one of
THE most militant figures of the strike,
was the object of a furious denuncia-
ton on the part of Tracy, who has de-
nounced his intention of preventing
Wicks from speaking anywhere in the
city.
A detachment Of police yesterday
barred meeting of strikers in va
cant lot. The police ignored the plea
of workers that the lot was owned by
one of the strikers.
An attempt literally to starve the
workers into submission is being en-
gineered by police who are preventing
strikers from getting benefit cards,
thus depriving them of the food which
the strike committee provides.
In spite of the fact that many mill
owners are now negotiating with the
workers preparatory to granting the
demands of the strikers, no further
settlement will be made until police
terrorism ceases, the strike committee
declares.
This is a direct blow at Tracy, who
had boosted to city officials and to
members of the bosses association
that he himself was going to break
the strike.
Strikers Keep Up Fight.
That the actions of Tracy can do
nothing except to prolong the time
which is to pass before every silk
worker in Paterson is back at work
under the new conditions demanded
by the strikers is the sentiment ex-
pressed by members of the commit
tee. The strikers are meeting Tracy's
latest move with plans for immense
mass meetings on Monday, to be held
in vacant lots outside the city limits.
The fight will continue until Wicks
is allowed to speak, members of the
committee assure the strikers.

NORRIS ROSEN
LEADS FIGHT
ON HUTCHINSON
Progressive Delegate
Runs for President
Especial to The Daily wOrker)


INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 26.-
The manner in which General
President William L. Hutchen-
son is running the carpenters
convention would make a Mon
goIian dictator turn green with
envy.
The reactionary leaders of the
American Federation of Labor
are careful not to allow the
rank and file the privilege of
participating in the affairs of
their unions beyond paying
dues, unless the pressure from
below cannot be resisted, but
most of them make some pre-
tense of allowing delegates to
conventions go thru the forms
of passing on questions brot up
for discussion.
In the eyes Of Hutchinson all issues
not approved by him are dangerous
to the organization, which translated
into the language of the labor faker,
means dangerous to his job.
Thus a resolution from Local 1S1
Of Chicago calling for the amaIgama-
ton of all craft unions into industrial
unions until the aim of one union for
each industry was achieved, was de-
clared out of order by Mahatma
Hutcheson.
Against Sans Policy,
A similar fate was melted out to
resolution introduced by some LaFol
lette agent, which called for the en-
dorsement of the new political policy
of the American Federation of Labor
This meant the endorsement of LaFol
lette. Hutchinson, more loyal to the
political policy of the A. F. of L. than
Gompers declared this partisan poll
tics and did not give the delegates
chance to decide whether they should
agree with Gompers or Hutchinson.
1t should be noted here that Frank
Duffy, the general secretary of the
Carpenters Union is a vice-president
of the A. F. of L. and was one of the
five on the executive council who
voted against the endorsement of
Robert NJ. LaFollette.
The most interesting feature of the
convention will be the vote on the
election of general officers. The fol.
lowing were nominated for the Office
Of general president: William L.
Hutchinson, present incumbent; Willis
X. Brown. of Peoria, president of the
Illinois State Council of Carpenters,
and Morris Rosen, rank and file dele
gate from New York.
Progressive Candidate.
OF the three candidates the qualifi-
cations of Delegate Rosen stand out
strongly as eminently fitting him for
the Office of general president.
OF Hutchinson it can be said that he
is first and foremost among the re.
dictionaries in the most reactionary
leadership in the world labor move
ment, that Of the American Fedora.
ton Of Labor. So backward is this
leadership that it withdrew from the
Amsterdam International because that
body, while supporting capitalism as
vigorously as Gompers himself, was
compelled by the pressure from below
to give lip service to the social rev.
olution and to the movement against
war.

policy of the A. F. of l.. dangerously

GARY, Ind, September a.
Founded by the company of
which Ebert H. Gary is chair
man and built by one of the
biggest trusts in the world,
which thru the firm of J. P.
Morgan, fiscal agents for the
corporation, is connected with
all the other large American
trusts, the town of Gary is a
prison house for the steel trust

The steel workers of Gary,
forming over 80 per cent of the
population, are held in the vice
of the most complete and vici-
Gus paternalism and of the low
est of low standard non-union
living conditions, to be found
anywhere in America.
The United States Steel corpora
ton owns the city of Gary, in all its
branches. "In 1906, the United States
Steel corporation decided to build a
big steel plant in the middle-west and
selected the sand waste on the shore
of Lake Michigan-and thus was the
city of Gary born" says Arundel Cot.

"Lift" Etiquette Most
 Puzzlin9 to Stranger

Apparently 1t was the strangers first trip in an office building elevator and he was unaccustomed to the more or less rigid rules of lift" etiquette.
 He stood facing the door as the ele- vator started down. At the next floor young woman entered and took a stand behind him. Two floors below man boarded the car and, looking straight past the stranger, noticed the woman and gallantly removed his hat. AS he did so the stranger tipped his hat and then replaced 1t on his head. At the next floor another man entered and looking sharply at the stranger re- moved his hat. The stranger respond ed by tipping his hat and replacing 1t again.
 This was repeated every time a man entered the elevator, the puzzled look on the mans face increasing with each stop. Arriving at the ground floor he paused until his fellow passengers had passed out of earshot and then asked the elevator operator:

Every carbon atom has four others spaced round 1t. The symmetry of the structure is such that the atoms are most difficult to dis place, for which reason a diamond can be used as a tool to cut any oth- CT substance, because the atoms of the other substance give way before the rigidly set atoms of the diamond. In the diamond can be found the rings of benzene, the fundamental structural unit of all the substances included in one great section of organic chem istry."
