.Middletown, Conn. Oct. 24.-Wes- leyan university faculty members who took over the regulation of the conduct of students insofar as it re- lated to the use by them of liquor at the university has acted for the first time by expelling freshman from the university and indefinitely suspeHding another freshman. For two years the matter of enforcement of rules about liquor was left with the student council and was carried through on the honor plan. A month ago the faculty decided that the student council had been too lenient and that good fellowship en- tered too much into the discipline,
 The action of the faculty at this time is the aftermath of criticism of actions of some students at the fraternity dances last weekend.

Especial to the DAILY WoRKER)
DULUTH, MIMI, Aug. 22.-WilI-
lam z. Foster, presidential eandI-
date on the Workers (communist)
Party ticket arrived here today
from Minneapolis, where he ad-
dressed a large open air meeting
last night. Foster will speak to-
night in Woodman's Hall, Duluth.
"WhiIe great numbers Of work.
ers and exploited farmers are led
astray by the LaFoIIette,s small
business propaganda, there is a rap
idly developing Communist senti-
ment among the Masses" said
Comrade Foster. 1.-THE nostrums of
LaFoIIette and the congIomeration
of bankers, brokers, real estate
sharks, labor takers and renegade
socialists that support him offer no
solution for the issues that confront
the workers. Only the overthrow
of capitalism and the establishment
of Workers and Farmers govern
ment will pave the way for a real
solution of their problems"
When shown a copy Of the
DAILY WORKER containing the
story of the big Paterson silk strike
comrade Foster said: "Good. It
looks as II the workers were deveI-
oping a more militant spirit. And
have you noticed" he said to the re-
porter, that in all these important
strikes the labor bureaucracy of the
American Federation Of Labor Is as
silent as the tomb. They are too
busy hobnobbing with the capital
lists or enjoying the baImy breezes
of Atlantic City"
comrade Foster will speak tomor-
row In ST. Paul and In Milwaukee

LAFOLLETTE IS

OF Minnesota
Euen MahoneyNowSe Sees
BoBs Disruption

The Minnesota Farmer-Labor
Party which has been created at
the cost of so much work and
sacrifice by the workers and
farmers of that state is in dam
ger of disruption. Not by Com
munists, who are so often
charged with being disrupters,
but by LaFoIIette and his fol-
lowers.
The Workers Party, because
it is in earnest in its desire to
create a great mass farmer
labor party in the United
States, has refrained from MAX
ing nominations in opposition
to the farmer-labor party in
those political divisions in which
real farmer-labor parties exist,
as in Minnesota, Washington,
South Dakota and a number Of
smaller political divisions. It is
supporting the farmer-labor
parties in these places.
In contrast to this let those work
ers who are suffering from the illus
ion that the LaFollette movement will
create Farmer-Labor Party read
what is happening in the state of
Minnesota. VIM. Mahoney tells this
story in an editorial in the Mime
sofa Union Advocate:
THE LA TOILETTE COMMITTEE
AND THE FARMER-LABoR
PARTY.

reptile PRESS
ASSAILS STRIKE
AT PATERSON
Last Resort of Defeated
Silk Mill Owners
Especial to The Daily workerl

Especial to The Daily Worker)
PATERSON, N. j., Aug. %.
The necessity for a strong
working class press is being
forced upon the minds of the
ten thousand silk strikers of
this city by the vicious hostility
of the local kept press, par
ticuIarIy the Paterson Evening
News.
During the strikes of 1913,
1919 and 1920 the News pro-
fessed to be "fair" to the strik-
ers and published many of their
declarations without distortion.
But from the very beginning of the
agitation for the present strike it has
been the outspoken champion of the
manufacturers and the local Chamber
of Commerce. 1t has been a sort of
replica of the notorious Hearst pub
LEGATIONS, protesting liberalism and
friendliness for the workers in order
to get a circulation, then selling its
support to the first high bidder. Evil
IDENTIFY the News has gained sufficient
prestige to be valuable to the manu-
facturers; the manufacturers have
paid the price and the prostitute edit
ors debase themselves to order.
Enemy DemoraIized.
The success of the strike has
thrown the manufacturers into a
panic and completely demoralized
their forces, until their only means
of defense is recourse to the press.
Every day the newspapers, the Cham
Der of Commerce, certain city officials
and other prominent individuals have
constantly harped about the ranks of
the strikers breaking, only to have to
admit their predictions wrong.
At tremendous mass meeting held
every day in Turn Hall the strike
leaders keep the spirit of the strikers
at a high pitch and dispel the lies of
the enemy so effectively that the
press tried to incite the mayor OF the
city and Chief of Police Tracey to in
tervene on their behalf and suppress
the "out Of town agitators."

Miners SUFFER
IN SHUT DOWNS
OF COAL PITS
Demanding Joint Action
Nth RaiIroaders
BY KARL REEVE
staff Writer, Daily Worker)

O'FALLoN, ILL.,, August 21.-
The United Mine Workers I'm
ion here has been unable to
cope with one tenth of the
cases of restitution demanding
immediate aid. Special relief
funds of sub-districts and local
unions have been exhausted.
The miners cooperative
stores have been forced to sus-
pend, and the miners are able
to exist only on the charity of
their neighbors, their vegetable
gardens, and by going heavily
into debt.
Sent To Poorhouse.
One miner, Joe Sturts, was sent to
the County Poorhouse at Belleville,
and after being there a week was
transferred to the st. Elizabeth Hos
pital in Belleville. He is dying and
his mind has been deranged thru his
sufferings.
Even Davis, now Sc years old, the
oldest resident of O'Fallon, who had
to quit mining coal six years ago, is
completely destitute and the local
union has no funds to carry him.
The local union here took up col
lection for Davis at a recent meeting,
but the miners were so penniless that
only $3.50 was raised for the aged
veteran of the union.
O'Fauou,s its wide streets shaded
with broad spreading trees, located
in rich farm territory, is typical of
the mining towns of the Belleville
sub-district. OFallon lies between
Belleville to the south and Collins
vile to the north. All three towns
are an hours trolley ride from st.
Louis. Altho suffering is acute in
O'Fallon, Belleville is just as badly
off and Collinsville is in worse shape.
800 Out of 1000 Idle.
There are 1000 miners in O'Fallon,
and over eight hundred of them are
completely idle. The hundred and
fifty who are working work less than
three days per week.
Phillip Hosier, recording secretary
of local union No. 7O5, the OFallon
miners local, said to the DAILY
WORKER, Our local union borrowed
five hundred dollars from the sick
benefit to be used as special unem-
ployment relief fund, but it was all
quickly used up"
Our cooperative store has a rule
that one hundred dollars is the limit
of credit. We were forced to give up
the store because many Of the miners
used up this credit and some of them
we allowed to go beyond it."
Find Work Nowhere.
AS in all other mining towns visited
the miners who went to other towns
looking for work are returning un.
successful. Fred Gill, his father, Geo.
Gill, and George Greenall departed a
few weeks ago in a fiivver to seek
work in the west. George Gill has
written home to his wife that he is
on the way back, unable to ind work
after travelling all over the Western
Coast.
Ed Greed has returned from De.

looking for work for three weeks. 81
