CAPE MAY, N. J., July 9.-Joseph
Hand, known hereabouts as Truth
full Pike" was yanked from a stone
jetty at the entrance to Cape Cod
harbor by an eighteen-pound weak
fish which took his hook.
Quite undaunted, Hand clamped
his teeth on the line and started to
swim to the jetty. He is a strong
swimmer, but so was the weaktish.
Four times the great fish pulled
Hand back into the water, just as
he was clambering out upon the
slippery rocks. and the determined
fisherman was in danger Of being
drowned when fishermen in a motor
boat saw his plight and went to his
assistance.
Afterw landing his fish, the TWEEN
ty-fourth he had caught during the
day, Hand shouldered his catch and
trudged to the market. His fish
weighed 159 pounds and he sold
them for sos.

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-The off,
cial support of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, is expected to be CIV
en- this year to Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette, running as an Independent
candidate for the presidency. Oflcial
endorsement Of the Wisconsin SEN
ator is looked for at the coming meet
ing of the executive council at At
lantic City in early August.
Samuel Gompers and his lieuten-
ants at Washington were gravely dis
appointed when the nomination of
the Coronado lawyer on a non-labor
platform made it too embarrassing
for the federation to follow it's long
established custom by endorsing the
democrats. Their grievances were
accentuated when Major George L.
Berry, pressmen's president, was
thrown overheard for Charles Bryan.
Since then the LaFollette managers
have been negotiating with Gompers
aides for the A. F. of L. endorse
ment.
Berry Lingers With Jaekass.
Berry has not yet discovered the
democratic ticket. In a statement he
says that he must follow the wishes
of the labor and service men who sup
ported his candidacy at Madison
Square Garden. This means that he
will take orders from the A. F. of
L. executive committee and the Amer
lean Legion. He added that he got
a tentative offer from the LaFollette
people for second place on the ticket
but the offer came before his hopes
were dashed in New York.
No Labor Man.
LaFollette is not now expected to
take Berry on as running mate, If
indeed he ever had such an idea. Nor
is he likely to admit any labor man
to the ticket. The vice-presidential
eligibles to the fore now are republi-
cans and democrats who are being
considered for the votes they can
pull from the ranks Of their own
parties.

Threats to Fire Readers
of Communist Paper
BY BARNEY MASS.

The officials of the National Biscuit
Company are enraged and fear the ap-
pearance Of the coming Young Worker
with the exposure Of this slave shop.
Four signs have been put up threaten
ing anyone caught purchasing the
Young Worker with discharge. Thru
organized methods of intimidation, the
company has succeeded in reducing
the young wage slaves to state of
fright that makes any effort to organ
ize them difficult.
While the league members we're
passing out the leaflets advertising the
Young Worker, the bosses looked out
of the windows, and cursed under
their breath. The matron in the Ken
nedy Biscuit Works department, first
class crank, always picking some quar-
rel or another with the girls and boys,
was particularly disgruntled.
Some watchmen (private company
dicks) of the Biscuit Compan. tried
to drive off the league mempers, who
were distributing leaflets, but the per-
sistency displayed by the young mill
tant workers, forced them to cease in
their dirty work.
Many calls have come to the nation
al Office of the Young Workers
League asking for the issue contain
ing the exposure of the National Bis
cult Company. The employees are
very much interested.
The local league is planning to hold
street meetings in front of the factory
gates as the workers come out In the
evening. The Young Workers League
is becoming popular thru the factory
campaigns. The young workers are
beginning to learn there is an organ
ization devoted to their interests. Our
answer to the bosses of the National
Biscuit Company will come thru our
establishing an efficient functioning
nucleus among its employees.

ILLINOIS LABOR
PARTY HOLDING
CONFAB SUNDAY
Many Delegates Coming
for Important Action

Many local trade unions are re-
ported to have selected delegates to
the conference called by the Labor
Party of Illinois to be held Sunday,
July 20. Following the example Of
the big local No. 80, several locals Of
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
are sending delegates. Four machin-
lists local unions are sending their
quota, painters local 275, copper
smiths 81, metal polishers local and
others, as we'll as several branches
of the Workmen's Circle and other
workers organizations.
The obstacles placed in the way of
independent political action on the
part oftthe workers by the labor poll
ticians pledged to Small or other capt.
talist candidates had about as little
effect as their attempt to stop the con-
vention at Peoria, May 18th, where
the Illinois party was formed. At that
time it will be recalled that they sent
out the general cry, "stay away, the
communists will be there" They even
went to the extent of trying to in
timidate some of the signatories to
the call for that convention.
1t is expected that at this Sunday
conference, the Labor Party of ILL
nois will follow the example of the
National Farmer-Labor Party and
withdraw it's candidates nominated for
the fall elections. The delegates from
the Workers Party will bring its can
didates nominated for state and local
offices as well as it's presidential tick
ct to the attention of the conference
and ask it to join in a militant cam
paign against all the capitalist candi-
dates, including the representative Of
the small bankers and independent
manufacturers, Senator LaFollette.
They will ask the conference to con-
tinue the struggle for the formation
of mass Labor Party.
