Lines Up With Gompers
For Small and "BOb"

In spite of an heroic struggle
on the part of its Communist
delegates, the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor, at its meeting
Sunday, deserted the class
struggle in the political field and
went over to the LaFoIIette-Len
Small camp by a vote of 1872
to 10.
It was by this vote that the
federation adopted the recon-
mendation of the resolutions
committee that the organization
endorse the stand of the execu-
tive board of the Illinois State
Federation of Labor, taken last
week, in support of the LaFol-
lette-W heeler-Small ticket.
Three Wise Men.
The members of the resolutions
committee are Anton, Johannsen, John
C. Flora, a Socialist, and Charles f.
Wills, circulation manager Of 1.-THE
Federation News" formerly the New
Majority.
In order to get the issue squarely
before the federation meeting, Dele
gate Jack tombstone, Of the Painters
Union, demanded that the whole de-
claration be read. This was done.
Delegate tombstone then got the
floor and pointed out that several
years ago. when the National Farm
er-Labor Party was organized, that
President John Fitzpatrick had de-
clared that the two old parties were
rotten to the core.
"In approving this declaration, -
said tombstone, you are going right
down into that rotten core"

tombstone then attacked LaFol-
lette's labor record and his attitude
towards the Farmer-Labor Party. He
also pointed out how he had lodged
the Negro question, showing how a
Negro delegate had come to the Cleve-
land conference but had been refused
an opportunity to be heard.

had not attended any of the confer
ences that had endorsed him, that his

INDICTMENT OF
GARvEY BRINGS
negro PROTEST
BY ROBERT MINOR.
(Staff Writer, Daily Worker.)

NEW YORK, Aug. IAN
enormous crowd of Negro
people gathered in Liberty Hall
here this week as an ex-
preston of protest against the
second effort of the federal au-
thorities to send Marcus Carney,
president of the Universal Negro
Improvement Association, to
prison.
An Indictment on a two-year-
old income tax report, sprung
on Garvey in the midst of the
second annual convention of
the large Negro organization,
seems to have been intended to
throw a wet blanket on the con-
vention.
1t is known that the main business
of the convention is the formation of
an international Negro Political
Union" of Negroes of the United
States, the West Indies, other black
populated islands and the African col

avoid political agitation among the

In the course of the campaign
the LaFoIIette forces will do
much yelling about purity in
government. The Wisconsin
Senator will rail against the
tyranny of political machines.
Another one of those perennial
"finaI" efforts will be made to
elect only good, honest, pro-
gressive citizens to office.
1t is on such a program and
under precisely such slogans
that LaFoIIette has captured
Wisconsin.
Yet, the facts show conclu-
sively that the Badger state SEN

boss only thru the organization
of a powerful machine, of ma
chine as effective as those
against which he is now Tuning.
More than that. LaFollette's
machine in Wisconsin is not and
has not been as free from graft

have the world believe. Bribery,

FAVOR FOSTER
AmaIgamated Members
in Opposition to G. E. B.
BY MAX sHAcHTMAN.


Reports are beginning to-
come in which show that while
the General Executive Board Of
the AmaIgamated Clothing
Workers of America has COM
mitted the organization to the
broom and flag of TO which is
being logged around the coun-
try by LaFoIIette, the rank and
file is taking an entirely diff
ferent stand.
Accustomed to working class
independent action on all fields,
the membership of the organi-
cation is repudiating the tin
Jesus from Wisconsin and is
aligning it's forces with the can
didates of the Workers Party
of America, William q. Foster
for president and Benjamin
Gitlow for vice-president.
Already a number of locals which
have had the opportunity to discuss
and take action upon the call of the
Workers Party to the rank and file
to repudiate the position of the gen.
eral executive board, have followed
the Communist lead, and done their
share towards erasing the stain of
LaFolletteism from the escutcheon Of
a working class organization which
has fighting record behind it.
Rank and File for Foster.
In Chicago, Local 269, a unit of
1900 members, went on record
against LaFollette and Endorsed the
candidacy of Foster and Gitlow with
but one dissenting vote. In New
York city, the executive committee of
the Italian Pants Makers Local SO.
with membership of 1000. at it's last
meeting voted unconditional support
to the Workers Party Candidates, re-
iecting the stand of the national ex-
ecutfve body.
In Rochester, the Parmer-Labor
party of the city. which includes in its
affiliated bodies the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers, went on record in
support of Foster and Gitlow. In
Chicago, at a conference of the Illi-
nois Labor party, the Communist
candidates were Endorsed by all the
delegates present, among whom were
representatives of Local 269 (which,
as stated above. later ratified this ac-
tom. and Local 80, one of the largest
unions in the organization. This lat
ter local has not yet taken up the
question of Endorsement of candidates,
but the militants stand an excellent
chance of reaffirming the principle Of
the class struggle by rejecting the
fighting faker" from Wisconsin and
points east.
SehIossberg Kicking, Too.
1t should not be thought that this
wave of dissent is entirely confined
to the rank and file, altho it receives
it's backbone and spirit therefrom.
The latest news is that Joseph
Schlossberg, general secretary-treas-
urer OF the Amalgamated, has de-
clined to be part to this betrayal of
the idea OF the class struggle upon
which the union has always stood.

Issues in Court Fight
Beginning TOMORROW

Issues between the contend

the various documents being
issued on either side.
The DAILY WORKER is in
receipt of copies of a circular
issued by the splitting group,
the one that took the quarrel
into the capitalist courts, in
which the administration is de-
nounced as leaning toward re-
volutionary affiliations, and the
injunction is defended as
necessary to avoid the charges
of the capitalist press that the
Industrial Workers of the
World is revolutionary.

The charges of use of gunner and

BY 7. J. o'FLAHERTY

THE only way to restore the coal
/ mining industry in the central
competitive. field to its former vigor,
is to cut wages, declares the Chicago
Journal of Commerce in a lengthy
editorial A Journal reporter, after
making a study of the "black dia-
mond" industry, very likely in the
Offices of the coal operators, shows
that coal operators are deserving the
unionized sections in favor of those
fields where the United Mine Work
ers of America have not been able
to make any inroads. This results in
the closing down of mines in the or
ganized regions, with the inevitable
consequence of unemployment or part
time work and increasing production
in those sections where the workers
have not the protection of a union.
THE solution of the problem is not
:, what the Journal of Commerce
suggests. Granting that the Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and Western Pennsyl-
vania mines were silly enuf to accept
the advice of the coal-operators, to
take a wage cut bringing their pay
ito the level of the non-union miners in
lKentucky and West Virginia, what is
there to prevent the scab-operators of
Ithe non-union regions from handing
their employees another cut, which
would give the so-called union oper-
Iators another excuse for demanding
THAT their employees stand for another
Eslash in wages? This is a vicious
circle which the miners cannot afford
to travel in.
IRON the point of view of the op-
u orators the suggestion Of the
Chicago Journal Of Commerce is full
of wisdom. Cut wages, cut wages!
That is their cry. But from the work
.ers' viewpoint there is another and a
better way to meet the problem, and
O serious problem it certainly is. 1t
takes no genius to realize that the
best way to solve the problem is to
organize the unorganized fields, and
establish the six-hour day turnout the
entire industry. But John L. Lewis
and the reactionary officials Of the
miners union are working hand in
hand with tho coal operators, and in
stead of devoting their attention to
fighting the enemy, the coal barons,
they are spending thousands Of dol

miners who have long since
given up the hopeless search
for work.
Out of eleven thousand min

twenty mile radius of this town,
fifty-five hundred are complete

ers are able to work only one
or two days a week.
Production Speeded Up.
The mine owners in this district
have taken the advice of Frank Far
rington that the miners must speed
up production, very seriously, and the
few miners working are constantly
threatened with discharge If they do
not keep production above the non

The miners in these camps have

mines at present, with no prospect OF
the mines opening in the near future,
The stores in these towns, dependent
for their existence on the trade of the
miners, are fast going to the wall and
closing up.
They have extended credit to the
miners out of necessity for the past
eight months, and now, unable to
meet their bills longer, are going
bankrupt by the dozen. The miners
therefore, are finding it increasingly
difficult to buy food on credit, and
their restitution is critical.
