For Working People

The best of workers get out
of sorts when the liver fails to
act. They feel languid, half
sick, "blue" and discouraged
and think they are getting
lazy. Neglect of these symp-
toms might result in a sick
spell, therefore the sensible
course is to take a dose or two
of Herbine. It is just the
medicine needed to purify the
system ard restore the vim
and ambition of health. Price

many requests have come to
the University of Arkansas

course in cotton chasing that
1t has been decided to give such
a course at the University Sum-
mer School this year, begin
ming with the opening of the
school, June 16.
The course will run three
weeks. No credits or eXamina-
tions are necessary for admis-
sion and there will be no
charge for tuition. With the
exception of railroad fare and
living expenses, necessary
costs probably will not total
$l5, according to Martin Mel
son, vice-dean of the Universi-
ty of Arkansas College of Ag-
riculture, who has charge of
the course. "An endeavor will
be made to give work of as
good quality as is given any
where" he says, "such as will
give a real foundation for prac-
tical work in cotton classing."
Questions concerning the
course will be answered
promptly if addressed to Vice
Dean Martin Nelson, College of
Agriculture, University of Ark
ansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Bread Should Sell At Five Cents Per Loaf
DAILY WORKER ALONE
SEES BIG STORY IN The
ALL-RACE CONGRESS

IF you depended for your news
on the capitalist dailies Of Chicago
you would not know that the most
important congress in the history
of an important American Race
was being held in Chicago this
week.
Yet the great Negro All-Race
Assembly, or Sanhedrin, is news
BIG NEWS. No newspaperman
can see the representatives Of 81
national organizations coming to-
gether for the first time for the
purpose of uniting twelve million
people without knowing that a vital
news happening is at hand.
All this is true but the capitalist
dailies are maintaining conspiracy
of silence against this splendid eff
fort of the Negro Race broken only
by the most meager mention. Only
the DAILY WORKER is reporting
this convention,-giving two col
ums day to the news.
The capitalist press maintains a
conspiracy of silence against all
constructive efforts Of the Negro
Race, which their big advertisers
want to see kept as a disunited
voteless lot of men whom they can
exploit the more effectively on the
industrial field.
How different are these same
vicious papers when a Negro is UNI
fortunate enough to get into the
tolls of the law-whether innocent
or guilty. Then the pages flare
with lurid headlines. 1t is a
standing rule in capitalist dailies
to give no space to a Negro story
unless it is a crime story. 1t is an
unwritten rule but one that is fol-
rowed rigidly. The exception OF
the old New York Evening Post,
before Oswald Garrison Willard sold
it, was an exception that merely
proved the rule.
On the other hand the pubIica.
tions Of the Ivance guard of the
working class rejoice at every ef-
fort of their cOlored comrades to
unite against the oppressor-even
tho this unity is not on as prole-
tartan basis as they would wish.
And so for the DAILY WORKER
the All-Race Congress is a big
story.

HERRIN, ILL.,, Feb. 14.-S.
Glenn Young, the gun-toting
leader of the Ku KIux Khan,
who has terrorized Williamson
County for weeks, is now under
indictment, charged with mall
icious injury to property.
Young cut quite a figure here
until the arrival of the militia
from Chicago, when he was
stripped of his artillery and
told bluntly to "take off his
guns and keep them off,"
The situation in Herrin, is calm on
the surface but there is volcano
of hate slumbering underneath.
The coroner's jury investigating
the death of Constable eagle re-
turned a verdict duplicating three
men, but made no recommendation
that they be arrested. All those ar
rested in connection with the death
of the Klansman eagle have been re
leased including; Sheriff George
Galligan, C. E. Anderson, mayor Of

Try TO Rouse Prejudice.
Rumors of men being seen tearing

"culprits" Of course are anti-Klan.
On information supplied by Klans-
man Young the United States gov
eminent had a party of injunction
experts working secretly in Chicago
for week, preparing a campaign
against the anti-Klan element in Her
rim. That Young Yields tremendous
influence in the Washington govern
ment is now generally admitted tho
he has not yet explained his exact
status. The presence Of criminals
in high government posts in Wash
ington, as revealed in the Veterans
Bureau exposure tends to arouse
suspicion that Young may be an I'M
derworld character who has appealed
to the narrow puritanical New Eng
land conscience of Calvin Coolidge
and thus secured unlimited powers to

And, unfortunately, labor, which:

issue before the Sanhedrin, has not
had full halliday allotted to it, as
have other less important subjects.
While the speeches were going en-
the important work Of the Sanhedrin
was being done in committees, or

appointed by the chairman, altho the
chairman later allowed certain addi-

III. S. FLOUR

ACT. BREAD
Charge MlIIOTS and Bakers
Making Huge Profits
Especial to The Daily Worker,

WAoEINO lON, Feb. a.
A colossal BREAD Trust" is
robbing American homes of
$1,000,OO0 a day, Basil Manly,
well known economist and
statistician, declared, in a de-
mand for a congressional ac-
ton against the combine"
Bread should be selling at
five cents for a pound loaf, in
stead of for nine cents, Manly
said, basing his statement on
the present price of wheat.
Manly's report was based on an in
resignation made at the request of
congressman who desired to know
why bread prices remained virtually
1t the war level while wheat went
back below prewar prices.
Bread made from American flour
s today being sold in England at
four cents a pound, Manly reported.
He charged that millers, bakers and
retailers are making enormous pro-
Its on flour and bread.
Manly cited the General Baking
Company, which he declared in 1922
made 1T per cent on each share of
stock, before the declaration of two
stock dividends of 100 and 800 per
rent in the same year. Profits for
1923 were even greater, he asserted.
Bread Trust Profits
As result of these alleged profits
and stock dividends, one dollar in
vested in General Baking company
stocks in 1916 is now worth 5000,
Manly said
Bread prices in American cities
were declared by Manly to be "arbi-
trary and artificial" and violating all
economic laws Bread costs two
cents less a pound in New Orleans
and Houston, far away from the
wheat and -four milling states, than
In Chicago, Omaha, Butte and st.
Paul, all in the heart of the wheat
belt, he said.
Wheat Belt Cities Suffer
Boston, Bridgeport, New Haven
and other New England cities pay
less for bread than any city in the
grain belt, except Kansas City, Manly
reported.
These artificial and excessive
prices" are fixed and maintained by
retailers supported by the large
wholesale bakers either voluntarily
Or under threat of boycott, the report
charged.

Washington is rumor mad and

Men who had more damag-

head Of the National City

S1,000,OO0 Slush Fund.
Reports of a 100000 "slush
fund" raised by oil interests pro-
vided the senate oil scandal inves-
tigation with another startling lead"
today, as they prepared to run down
gossip which has dragged the name
of the late President Harding into
the affair.
Frank A. Vanderlip faced stern
examination by the committee this
morning on his statement that sale
Of the Marion Star by the late Presi-
dent Harding should be investigated
The committee will call on Wander
lip to tell whether this statement
was based on information indicating
some connection between sale of the
Star and the oil leasing scandal,
or merely upon rumor and gossip.
Vanderlip in speech at Ossining,
N. Y, not only drew Mr.. Harding's
name into the inquiry, but assailed
Attorney General Daugherty, Sem
ator Reed of Missouri, and others,
and said there should be a wholesale
house cleaning in Washington.
While Vanderlip was schedC Fed to
be the days "star" in the scandal
inquiry, other developments were i'm
pending that threatened to carry the
investigation into new fields and to
smirch other names in addition to

The 81 100000 "slush fund" ac-

to the Harding administration, tho
not officially connected with it, was
reported to the committee TO have
