forts"
Even this little curtain raiser for
Bergers position got its broadside as
the delegates denounced LaFollette
as a "cowardly cur" who "crawled off
into his corner" Immediately he was
attacked in the early days of the war,
and who never made any real fight
during the war for representative gov
eminent or the preservation of con-
stitutional liberties.
Berger Anticipates the Storm.
But these were only slight skirm-
ishes. Berger had brought in his
state platform, and it was adopted
unanimously. Berger had graciously
permitted slight amendment in his

And then the real war broke on the
resolution introduced by the Socialist
mayor, Hoan. that declared:
BE it resolved, by the Socialist
party Of Wisconsin, in convention as

Berger started out by telling the

as he was of the New York traction
interests some years ago.
Dark horses are prancing about the
circus rings, hoping against hope, and
praying for the maintenance of the
two-thirds rule for nominations. Raj
ston, Davis, Glass and a host of darker
hue, are holding caueuses, issuing
statements, lining up in combinations
and dissolving them again, and en-
Ijoying themselves generally in the
good old-fashioned way.
Bryan TickIed Sick
Bryan is ticlled sick with the won
derful possibilities of this convention.
Gee, if he were only twenty years
younger, he seems to say, he would
stir this old pot to its bottom. But
today he is rather pathetic figure,
helplessly hitching himself onto one
or another of the groups that can make
use of his tradition for the moment.
Efforts of leaders of the Democratic
machine to center attention upon the
issue of "clean government" as against
the corrupt government" of the Re
publican Party make no impression
upon the gathering delegates. Who
wants to talk about fighting against
graft when they expect themselves tc
be in power next no matter what
issues or candidates are put up?
And so the delegates, and the news.
papers, and the party leaders, are
putting up an internal cackling noise
about issues that are so shallow, and
lie so close to the surface that 1t
is utterly impossible to have an idea
as to where anyone stands upon them
until he speaks up, and then few are
surprised when sudden switches are
made from hour to hour.
Much Noise Promised
Much noise is promised for the next
few days in Madison Square Garden.
Much heat will probably be generated
in the struggle for jobs and patronage.
But there is no light and there will
be no light There are no issues and
there will be none.
The great problem before the Demo
cratic Convention is, how to dis
tribute the plums in such a manner as
to keep the machine going until after
election. On the issues that touch
capitalist exploitation of the workers
and farmers-why talk of them? They
are all settled long ago. The Demo
cratic Party will do like the Republic
an Party has already done-obey the
orders from Wall Street.

FRONT
FORMED TO AID
JEWISH BAKERS
Workers Party in Drive
Against Scab Bread

More than 100 delegates gathered
at the Workmen's Circle Lyceum
Sunday morning, at the call of the
United Hebrew Trades, to consider
ways and means of assisting Jewish
Bakers local union No. 237 in its
struggle against the baking bosses.
This was the second conference of
this kind.
Delegates were present from the
Workers party, Workmen's Circle
branches, the Socialist party, local
unions and progressive societies.
Bosses Seek Sc Cut.
The committee of five, selected last
week to negotiate with the bosses,
reported that negotiations wi. the
bosses has been broken off by de-
mand for Sc wage cut, instead of the
increase provided by the agreement
the union is seeking to enforce.
"The bosses not only are trying to
cut our wages" said Organizer Lip
kin, "but more important than that,
they are trying to break our union.
If they succeed with the Chicago
bakers it will be but the beginning of
a nationwide drive against the jew
ish unions"
The bakers association Of the EN-
ployers is not permitting those shops
that have signed up with the union
to deliver bread to the customers Of
the shops still on strike. They also
attempted to rent all the unusnd bake
shops in the city, in order to prevent
anyone else from serving their Gus
toners. But the union has opened
two shops and is supplying those who
want union bread.
Don't Touch Seab Bread.
The conference yesterday elected q
large committee that will call upon
all the customers Of the struck bak-
cries and urge upon them not to ham
die scab bread. 1t is quite well I'M
derstood now that the Jewish popu-
lation is getting behind the bakers
union, and if the bosses do not soon
settle they will find their business
destroyed by the illwill of their Gus
toners who demand a settlement.

Is Dever Envious
Of Klan's Record
Against Negroes?

South Side Negroes are giving an
ironical reception to the news from
New York City that Mayor Dever is
calling for democratic denunciation
Of the Ku Klux Khan.
1t is pointed out by Chicago Ne
groes that Mayor Dever's police are
very handy at the rough stuff which
is so condemned in the Khan. The
policemen's clubs and revolvers have
been freely used against innocent Ne
groes.
'If Mayor Dever is really against
the Khan and the things it stands for,
why doesn't he enforce equal rights
for Negro citizens Of Chicago?" said
a Negro unionist to the DAILY
WORKER last night. "The Klan's
worst crimes are those against our
race. But the worst crimes Of the
Chicago police are also those against
our race"
The DAILY WORKERS expose of
goldfish" tortures to suspects is be-
ing eagerly followed on the South
Side. The issue in which the ex-
police reporter tells of brutalities TO
Negro prisoners made a sensation.

LESSONS OF THE SAN PEDRO RAID

At the station the men approached
the officer at the desk. Officer Neu-
trail winked and said:

gob."

one Of the raiding party on the truck"
"Get Warrant"

There was silence. Then Officer
Neutral winked to the sailor and said {:
Come on, buddy; let's drive out of
here and go back to where we came
from"
After they had left, Sergeant Web

spotted Sullivan and said, in the pres.
ence Of Jack Walsh and Police Cap
tain Hagenbaugh:
The next party is going to be a
hanging party, and I'll see that you
are on it, too"
In this connection it is interesting
to note statement which appeared
in the Los Angeles Times that same
day:
"Reds Did It."
Captain Hagenbough of the San
Pedro police lays the blame for eco
nomic unrest and unemployment on
the radicals, charging them with caus-
ing want and crime by importing reds
to break down orderly processes of
law and flooding the harbor with sur
plus labor"
The care with which the scene was
laid, the deliberateness with which
certain people were picked out Give
children who had been active in per-
forming for entertainments were ter

leader of the raid was recognized as
the leader of the Ku Klux Khan raid,
March II, give the lie to reports de-
liberately circulated stating that the
raid was conducted by sailors who
had been outraged by the threats of
the wobblies in relation to the Mis-
sissippi disaster.

One Of the children burned was An

Hits Self-Seekinu Politicians
State Senator Quick, reporter for the
committee on platform and resolutions,
then got the floor and denounced the
heads of the Conference for Progress
sive Political Action as a bunch Of
"self-seeking politicians" He urged
against the socialist party hanging
onto the tail of other groups.
"We don't need to build our party
with the flotsam and the jetsam that
comes to that kind of conference"
State Secretary William Coleman,
former socialist alderman, and an or
ganizer of the Machinists' Union, then
declared it was mistake, two years
ago, to have left vacant the opposition
candidacy to La Toilette.
Predicts no Party at Cleveland
my rs years experience in the labor
movement tells me that no party will
be organized by the c. P. P. A. at
Cleveland" he said.
He was inclined to the belief that
the c. P. P. A. would go along with
"McAdoo, son-in-law of the worst pre-
sident the United States has ever had"
The best they could possibly do at
Cleveland, he felt, was to endorse La
Toilette.
Coleman told of the experience Of the
Wisconsin socialists with the Wiscon-
sin c. P. P. A. He charged that the
delegates had been colIared to secure
an endorsement for the La Toilette
governor, Blaine, republican. But when

He went into an extended lament,

Communists had practically destroyed

enormously.
But now Berger denounces the Com
munists, claiming that if it had not

been one of the greatest in the world.

days after the raid Two sailors came
and looked in the window. The boys
recognized them as raiders. One of
them, Tom Sullivan, recognized as one
of the kidnappers on the tar and

spoke to the officers.

Then an officer in the back seat
said: That's what we're up here for.
Let's go get him."
By this time the sailor had made
considerable distance between himself
and the car. But the officers soon
caught up with him.
What did you try to run away for?"
