Kaiser S Suicide Threat
Kept Won BueIow From
Quitting, Book Reveals

BERLIN, Nov. 1S.-By the AS
ISOLATED Press.)-A story of how
former Emperor William once
threatened to commit suicide is re-
vealed in a book written by Theodor
Wolff, editor of the Tageblatt, deal
ing with Germany's policy during
the chancellorship of Won BueloW.
Emperor William had, in 1905, in
duced Emperor Nicholas, of Russia,
to sign a treaty of alliance which
pledged Germany to aid Russia in
Europe, but not in Asia. Won Bue-
low disapproVed of the treaty and
orally rendered his resignation.
Thereupon William wrote Won Bue,
low pathetic letter in which he
said the chancellor's resignation
gave him such a shock that he mad
collapsed and he feared he would
have a serious nervous illness.
In the letter, the kaiser reminded
Won Buelow that to please him he
had ridden in Tan2ier on strange
morse, Notwithstanding his crippled
left arm, and that the horse had
nearly killed him.
II rode among the Spanish ala
archists," said the letter, because
you wanted me to and beca use your
policy would benefit by it, and now
after I have done all this you wish
to leave me. If you now disavow
your policy should be made to look
ridiculous, which 1 cannot survive
Then comes a postscript saying
"the morning after the receipt of
your resignation you will not find
your kaiser alive. Think of my poor
U-ifn and obi16rpp -
Won Buelow, according to Wolff,
finally withdrew his resignation ana
the writer declares his reward came
three years later, when the kaiser
dismissed him with the remark: Il
have chased the scoundrel away"

Is What
Counts, Chewing Gum Mil
Iionaire SayS-Just Plug
ging Called Poor Living

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-William
Wrigley, Jr.s, millions have not
made him any happier.
Merely piling up bank account
has not given me a thrill, declares
the chewing gum magnate, who, last
year alone, paid an income tax of
more than $1,000, 900.
81 was just as happy before 1
made my first million as I was after
1 made it, I never have worked for
money. [ always have worked for
the doing of the thing.
"Just plugging along for dimes
and dollars does not mean much.
Accomplishment is what counts.
Life is battle. When you quit
fighting the kick is gone"
Wrigley has been broke many
times.
Ran Away at IL
Today he has put the worlds jaws
to work. From this he has piled up
q great fortune.
Born in Philadelphia, the eldest of
nine children, Wrigley grew up as
the average boy, but with more than
the average boys energy.
He was expelled from school so
often that by the time he was II
his folks finally quit trying to
mollify his teachers.
That year he ran away to New
York There he sold papers, ran err
rands and did odd jobs.
Homesickness drove him back to
Philadelphia. Another year in school
nd 1on in n c
father put him to work in his fac
tory, stirring soap, at $1.50 a week.
He went out on the road as sales
man for his father. The going was
none too easy. Tough breaks came
oftener than good ones.
In 1891 Wrigley came to Chicago.
Business was dull, so to stimulate
his soap sales, he began offering pre-
miums with each order.
Owns Ball Team
More than once he ran in debt.
But each time he succeeded in pull
ing out.
While giving away chewing gum
with his soap, he hit upon the idea
of selling gum alone. Then he de-
cided to begin making his own.
From the start, he was a firm be-
lever in advertising In 1902 he
dumped his accumulated profits of
$500, 600 into an advertising cam
paign in New York-and lost every
cent.
Next time he called on Gotham he
threw out $250,000. Profits com
menced rolling in right away.
Since then he has spent close to
So0,00O,00O advertising his gum in a
score Of languages throughout the
world
And chewing gum is not his sole
business interest.
He owns a baseball team-the Chi
cago Cubs. He owns Catalina
Island, an amusement resort, off
southern California. He is director
OF banks, corporations and railroads
galore.
Yet the money these connections
bring him is secondary in his estima-
ton.
One year his factories turned out
eight billion sticks of gum. Next
year he expects to produce at least
III billion sticks.
Employees Off SATURDAYS
He always keeps a box of gum on
his desk. He chews it continually.
Wrigley is 63. but looks no more
than 40. He plays as hard as he
works.
Each day finds him down with the
shadows in his office atop the Wrig-
ley Tower building. He is one Of the
last to leave
His employees get Saturdays off
The high-priced executive usually
cleans off his desk by Friday and
prepares for weekend vacation"
he says. Let the girls and men in
my offices do the same. Let them so
window shopping and have a good
time.

cess or failure of the movement WILL
to very great extent, depend upon
our activities. Therefore, we must
spare no energy or time in the cam
paign for the June 18th Convention, to
make it a success.
MO comrade can remain Indifferent
IN to this campaign of our party
and continue to call himself a Com
munist. The success of tne Farmer
Labor Party movement means so
much to the Communist movement
and to the labor movement Of the
United States in general that no class
conscious worker can say that. he is
sincerely working for the emancipa-
ton Of the working class if he, in one
form or another, does not actively
participate in the present campaign
of the Workers Party. Those COM
rades who are members Of the trade
unions or other workers organiza-
tons, should theoretically work there
in order to get them behind the June
convention. Even il we do not sue
coed in obtaining their formal APPROX
al of the Farmer-Labor movement,
still we will have done our duty be-
ca1se we have raised the question at
their meetings and defended the idea
of a Farmer-Labor Party. Today we
failed, tomorrow we will succeed The
conditions are working for our final
success. They are pushing forward
the working class.
Only a few weeks are left till June
18th. It will be historical day for
the labor movement of this country.
The enemies of the working class are
working day and night to make it
failure, we Communists and all class
conscious workers and exploited farm
ers must work with still greater en-
thusiasm for its success.

of this movement are very strong and
numerous. The employing class is di-
rectly and openly fighting it, 1t is
natural and we cannot expect any
thing else from them. But this move
ment is also opposed by the trade
union bureaucracy. Mr.. Gompers and
his gang manage to keep away the
industrial workers from independent
political action much more effectively
than the master class itself. They
hold the organized workers in their
clutches and are keeping them there
very tightly. None Of the great in
ternational unions Of the American
Federation Of Labor are as yet ready
to get rid of Mr.. Gompers' political
policy and put their faith with the
Farmer-Labor management for indie
pendent political action on the part
of the working masses. The Railroad
Brotherhoods are being kept in the
tail of the capitalist parties thru the
