ARISTOCWACY IN
THE SADDLE AT
PEORIA MEET
No Spokesman for Rank
and File Gets Floor
BY KARL REEVE.
(Staff Writer, Daily Worker)

ASNs+h ~ tH~Nf -~t'As
PEORIA, Ill.,, Sept. 10.-The
forty-second convention of the
Illinois Federation of Labor is
dominated by 1.-THE aristocracy
of labor" and directed by we'll
paid officials who have thrown
off the mask of representing
the working class and are OPEN
Iy indorsing capitalist political
parties and favoring class col
alteration.
While Harriet SHERMAN, of
the Teachers Union, was ap-
pealing for "a strong militant
organization of the working
class to fight occupational dis
cases." the DAILY WORKER
reporter heard members of the
Milk Wagon Drivers Union
Grossly condemning her for
taking up their time.
Run Out Of Speakers.
This delegation from Chicago is paid
$500 a day each plus railroad fare,
one of them admitted to me. Their
elevating topic Of conversation while
Miss Silberman was talking on oc-
Cupational diseases, was as to how
hate in the night each had stayed up
the preceding day.
"She hasn't spoken for two years, .
one Of these delegates said, "and
guess she wants to get it all out of
her system at once. She ought to
wait until next year, and let us go
home"
There was no afternoon session
Tuesday. The labor officials have run
out of Catholic priests and Chamber
of Commerce members, so they ad-
journed. It didn't cross their minds
TO make an exception and let real
worker have the floor.
Miss Silberman, representing the
Workers Health Bureau, declared that
thirty-fve thousand miners have been
killed while working at their industry
in the last ten years.
France Leads United States.
ut takes an overwhelming mining
disaster or big explosion to make
the legislature act" said Miss SLIDER
man. "The painters have made the
first health agreement with the en-
ployers in the history of the American
trade union movement. The use of
benzol in paints was abolished. In
France the labor unions are far ahead
Of America in this respect. In 1914
that country did away with the use
Of white lead in paints by a national
decree"
1.-THE workers are being oppressed on
all fronts in the mad scramble of the
employers for profits. Demands that
the employers pay compensation are
all right, but this form of labor relief
has been over-rated. The employers
pay as little as they have to. It is
far better to organize the working
class into strong militant organiza-
ton, and use means Of preventing &C.
cupational diseases"
Promises Delegates Drinks.
The speakers that were foisted on
the delegates here were an insult to
the rank and file workers. M. J..
Finn, who spoke as a representative
Of the Chamber of Commerce, made a
grandstand play to capture applause
by promising the delegates a drink
whenever they wanted it. He has
since been fitting about the conven-
ton, making good his boast that "The
Peoria Chamber Of Commerce at all
times co-operates with the organized
labor movement"
The delegates were entertained at
"Dreamland," a dance hall here, re-
calling Firms statement that, 81 think
I'm paying 80 per cent of the ex-
penses Of the entertainment anyway"

Bosses Call Police
Months After Big
Strike Has Passed

Months after the Ladies' Garment
Workers strike, police are again
seen in front of the Seiden Bros. shop,
at Van Buren, and Market SITS. Meyer
Pearlstein, vice-president of the Inter
national Ladies' Garment Workers
union, and leader of the recent strike,
when asked what he knew about the
matter, denied any trouble at Seiden
Bros, which is a settled shop. He
did not know that the owners had
called for police TO keep union men
on the outside from talking to the
men inside the shop.
Further inquiry among the men and
women employed in the Seiden Bros.
shop brought the information that the
owners are discriminating against the
most active members of the union for
their activities in the recent strike.
These workers, who are deprived of
chance to work, have been picketing
the Seiden shop to talk to the union
workers and tell them about the
condition that has developed as a re.
suit Of their efforts to help win the
strike. The employers getting wind
of the matter, phoned for the police

YOUR friends.

livery man, woman and child
L wants to have strength and
correct weight. 1t means the Joy
OF living. To be minus strength
and underweight often proves low
fighting-power in the body. It
often means you are minus nerve
power, minus red cells in your
blood, minus health, minus vitality.
1t is serious to be minus, but the
moment you increase the number
Of your red-blOod-cells, you begin
to become plus. That's why S.S.S.,
since 1926, has meant to thousands
OF underweight men and women
plus in their strength. Your body
fills to the point of power, your
flesh becomes firmer, the age lines
that come from thinness disappear.
You look younger, firmeT, happier,
and you feel it, too, all over your
body.

Proclamation by Governor Geo.
Hunt on National Defense Day

WHEREAS, under the provisions of
the National Defense Act of the Unit
ed States providing for an army of the
United States and it's component parts,
provision has been made in time of
necessity for calling to the colors all
of the organized and unorganized man
power of the several states qualified
for military service; and
WHEREAS, the military authorities
of the United States have designated
Friday, September IL, 1924, the an
niversary of the battle of st. Mihiel,
for peace-time test of the national
mobilization made in pursuance to
law;
NOW, THEREFORE, 1, George W.
p. Hunt, Governor of Arizona, do
hereby request and urge that each and
every citizen of the state assist and
cooperate with those who may be ap-
pointed to carry out the test mobiliza-
tion of the states military resources,
in accordance with the spirit and pur-
pose of the law providing for the nat
ional defense. City and county offic-
,ers, civic and patriotic clubs, relig-
ious and educational bodies and or
ganizations are cordially invited to
unite in this opportunity to demon

pose in time of need to defend this,
our country. Our citizens are invited
to contrast and compare this rational
system of preparedness for national
defense with the militaristic system
of many nations before the World
war in maintaining enormous armies,
and also to compare this policy with
our former policy of indifference and
neglect that cost us so dearly in lives
and waste of national resources dur
ing the late war. Only our apparent
Indifference and helplessness as rich
nation, unprepared for defense, pro-
vOked the attacks on our neutrality
that led us into war. Let us show
that Arizona in the future will be able
to maintain the record she made in
the last war when she filled or over
filled every call made upon her under
the draft, and let us make this demon
stration of preparedness for defense
against aggression such as will be a
credit to our state.
Given under my hand and the ex-
ecutive seal this 1st day of August,
1924.
GEORGE w. P. HUNT,
Governor of Arizona.
