The pride of the LaFolette movement is the so
called "Nlodel Commonwealth" of Wisconsin. In
variably the LaFollette champion will point to
Wisconsin as the why and the wherefore Of the
working masses supporting the Badger state SEN
ator in the present campaign.
Fortunately there is an abundance of facts
incontrovertibe facts-that smash to smitherines
all claims laid to labors support by the LaFoette
organization. Given all the accepted standards
of measuring ones service to the working masses,
we cannot but conclude that LaFollette's greatest
achievement-the wisconsin Experiments an
unassilabIe argument against his getting the sup
port of the workers.
In LaFollette's Wisconsin the average wage of
the workers falls well below that prevalent in
more than half of the states of the country Wiscon
sin is twenty-ninth in the monthly wages paid
workers. The LaFollette machine which has been
in power for than score of years has done
nothing to attempt to improve these conditions.
Nor has LaFollette made the slightest effort to
raise the low standard of long working hours pre-
valent in the manufacturing industries of his
state. At most only one out of every three work
ers in these industries have the Shour day.
And when the workers of Wisconsin attempted
to fight against the powerful open shoppers dom
mating the biggest industries of the state by seek
ing the enactment of a law against private de-
tective agencies, it the LaFollette legislative
solons who undermined the effort.
In no small measure, therefore, are LaFollette
and his allies responsible for the weakness of
ganized labor in Wisconsin, for the failure to carry
out even the limited sanitation laws and the state
governments lending aid and comfort to the anti
union groups. One need but turn to the annual
proceedings of the Wisconsin State Federation of
Labor convention to find long list upon longer lists
of labor bills defeated by the socaled progressives
who are now seeking the votes of the workingmen.
With the socialist party having committed
suicide thru assuming the unenviable role of a
gleaf for the ugliest side of LaFollettesm, there
is only one political party in Wisconsin that can
put forward any claims to being worthy of the
support of the workers of the state. This is the
Workers Party-the Communist political organza-
ton speaking and fighting for the working class
against the bosses.

How It Works

September building permits, according to Fred
Armstrong, head of the committee to enforce the
Lands award-the euphonious title of the Chicago
open shoppers-show drop of more than % per
cent below the figures of September, 1923. A year
ago September permits reached total of $27,S47
OOO This year they total $22,OOOOOO a decrease
of approximately $6,OOO,OOO.
The Armstrong explanation of this rapid de-
crease in productive activity of great basic indus
try is typical 1t is that the high wages of building
tradesmen are responsible The truth of the mat
ter is the housing needs left untitled by the mob
ization of production for war necessities during
the great crusade for Dawes plan democracy have
almost been supplied and that the building in
dustry is facing slump that affects unfavorably
other industries from which it draws materials
Mr.. Armstrong let's go of another morsel of in
formation that throws much light on the manner
in which the lower middle class and the upper
strata of skilled workers are fattened for the
periodical slaughter which takes place during the
depression that follow boom periods like the one
that is closing Says this seer of the realtors
association:
"The building activity of today is confined prin-
cipalty to home building and the erection of two
fiat buildings by small investors. High rents Of the
last several years started the ball rolling and home
building will continue for some time"
This means that, irritated by the exactions of
landlords and inspired by the slogans of Gown
your own home' weeks and "build now" campaigns
La great number of workers with small savings and
middle-class elements with little plumber to in
vest buy property and erect buildings when prices
are at their peak. The boom BURSTS" as our Eng
lish comrades say and the process of shaking down
the small investor begins amid shouts of gIee from
the banking fraternity who assure the workers
with sanctimonious earnestness that the home
owner is the bulwark of the nation
This method of dsillusioning the elements that
have faith in the high purposes and complete
stability of American capitalism is painful one
but extremely effective. 1t operates almost auto
matically and with increasing vigor. Following
war prosperity, during the depression 192O21, the
basis laid,- thru the ruin of millions, for the
present wave of discomfort expressed by the third
party movement. In the coming period of depres
sion the number of casualties will be multiplied
tenfold. So widespread will be the establishment
and the misery Of the masses that a mass Com
munist Party will be possible.

Why They Are for Coolidge

To attempt to marshall all the reasons of the
employing class for supporting Coolidge would be
impossible To attempt to add reasons to the al
ready well-known ones would be carrying coal to
Newcastle.
But the reason for employing class support of
Coolidge, just given the other day by one of the
leading exploters of the country is of timely i'm
portance and deserves special attention. Mr. W. w.
Nichols, president of the American Export Manu-
facturers Association is the author of the declara
ton of support He has returned from Mexico
after making extensive survey of the investment
and trade possibilities for American capitalists.
Mr.. Nichols is a plain talker. He says that the
reason for his and his kind supporting Coolidge
is this:
Il intend to vote for President Coolidge, be
cause he has been notably in favor of the expan-
sion of American business. Primarily the American
people are concerned in the expansion of their
trade. !. Fortunately, they have as president a
man who is keenly alive to the value of business
expansion in foreign lands. 1t serves as an adver-
tisement of American enterprise, it fathers con-
fidence."
AT this time when the employing class of the
United States is bringing up all its reserves for
establishing American commercial and industrial
supremacy, such an attitude Of a presidential can
didate is an especially worthwhile reason for his
support by the bosses. But what of the working
masses? What of the farming masses whose sup
port Coolidge is pleading for? What does this trade
expansion mean to those who work for living?
Coolidge is a war maker. He is the candidate
Of the imperiaist clique that is preparing another
war for the United States by aiding and abetting
every effect every maneuver of the employing class
to extend its spheres of influence and investment.
The trade expansion Mr.. Nichols speaks of is only
another name for the subjugation of weaker peo-
pies 1t is only the prelude to the civilization Of
the dollar and bayonet-a civilization whose adj
vanced guards are the marines who broke up the
Haitian republic and the missionaries who cruelty
the native population on the cross of gold.

and applauded.
"The large measure of individual
credit goes to Charles G. Dawes and
his two associates for the stabiliza-
ton of Europe" said Head on the
opening day of the convention. 1T
will be observed that two of these
three men are bankers. The appoint
ment of such a commission was for
mally advocated and persistently
urged by this association at time
when such action was by no means
popular in many other quarters"
John Davis, the personal lackey of
j. P. Morgan, who has for many years
fattened off the fees thrown his way
by the bankers, also comes in for his
share of praise, for denouncing moves
to curb the power of the supreme
court. "Mr. Davis is right" said Head,
Exactly right, and president Coolidge
is right when he says the people want
a government of common sense"
1t is interesting to note that the
bankers association uses the same ar.
guments as are put forward by the
anarchists. ""Once we kicked against
taxation without representation, said
T. R. Preston to the delegates on
Wednesday. Now we have too much
of both. Decentralization of the CEN
trail government is most important.

Historical Processes at Work

The California supreme court decision, ruling
the LaFoette electors off the ballot has produced
some very interesting developments in that state of
sunshine real estate sharks, antJapanese hysteria
and prison sentences for workers.
The rumor persists that Hiram johnson is to
come out for LaFolette in protest against the
court ruling which is obviously of those tactical
errors easily made in a state notorious for it's
judicial corruption. We hope he does 1t would
be the final touch needed to align all the hypo-
critical middle-class elements behind candidates
whose slogan of "back to 1875" gives correct idea
of their economic vision and conception of realities
in an imperialistic epoch.
1t has taken good deal to arouse Hiram John
sons sense of justice-probably something in the
nature of a promise of a cabinet position. 1t is
matter of record that johnson has been one of the
bitterest enemies of Tom Mooney who lies in San
Quentin prison for a crime the world knows he did
not commit and that he has tacitly agreed to the
wholesale Imprisonment of members of the Indus
trial Workers of the World by the official tools of
the lumber and shipping interests.
Support by such individuals as johnson can be
purchased only by their sharing any power that
may be acquired altho by reason of their class
interests they belong with the LaFoIette group 1t
becomes palmer every day that when this process of
dividing power is concluded the share of the de-
luded workers and farmers in this movement will be
negligible
This is the historical process by which the mid
dleclass elements secure power. They enter into
a struggle with the big capitalists. They convince
masses of discontinued workers that their interests
are identical with the middle class but they al
low the masses no organizational guarantees. The
destruction of farmer-labor parties by the LaFo-
lette henchmen is example Of what is meant
To retain power, middleclass groups enter into
coalition with the representatives of big capital
and industrial and rural masses find themselves
worse off than before
The support of Hiram johnson, which will be
secret if not open, means that the group of CAPT
talist cliques, slightly inferior in strength and in
huence to finance and trustfed industrial CAPT
talists, have thrown their support TO the LaFol.
lette movement. In other words, the LaFoletteites
have begun the process Of compromise with power
full enemies of the masses even before they have
secured power.

TO THE YAKUTSK INDIANS
BY ANl6E.
Federated Press STAFF Writer,

/ read in Moscow paper:
'sWe have published
The FIRST political pamphlet
In the Yakutsk language.
1t tells all about
The life and works of
LENIN
And is intended
For distribution
Among the nomad tribes
OF the Far North"
And pictured
That vast untamed region
In the northeast corner of
Siberia,
Just across Behring straits from Alas
ka,
With its tossing miles of snow-peaks.
And it's wilderness of tundra,
And its few thousand
Wandering NATIVES
Living on fish and reindeer,
Just like Alaska Indians
Anu It's bCdtlSicu oCttiCuiCuSo VI Ruo-
SLAMS
Many weeks away from railroads
Like our own early
Hudson Bay posts.
And l thought Of the Romance
OF that PAMPHLET
Scattering to the far north message
ORKERS OF THE WORLD,
UNITE,
And the news
That far to the southwark was a world
That hailed them brothers
And l remembered how WE also
Sent PAMPHLETS northword
The life and works OF Jesus,
Or something else from the Bible,
To tell the Alaska Indians
That all mankind we're brothers,
And we followed it up with
WHISKY,
And few schools, and lot of gold
seekers,
Who took away their lands,
And their fish and their furs,
And gave them In exchange
OUR DISEASES.
SO think those Yakutsk folks
Won't care so much
About the PAMPHLET
AS about the FOLLOW-UP!
And that all the words OF Lenin
Won't impress them
Half so much as just the fact.
That the Russians coming north
Are helping them to organize
CO-OPERATIvES
For selling their FURS
And are making them in all things
EQUAL SHARERS.
