RESCUERS TRYING TO
RECOVER BODIES OF
GARY EXPLOSION VICTIMS

GARY, Ind, Aug. 5.-Reseuers
were working feverishIy late today
trying to recover bodies from
mass of twisted steel in the Gary
works of the Illinois Steel Company
plant, in which three workers are
known to have been killed and
half dozen others injured.
The explosion occurred late last
night and completely wrecked the
newly repaired number blast fur
mace.
The badly burned and horribly
mangled body of Walter r. Nystrom,
35, foreman who returned to work
last night from his vacation, was
recovered early today after the
workers had eombed the ruins thru
the night. Altho It is known that
two more bodies are lying under the
many tons Of twisted steel, fire
brick and debris, II is believed the
final toll may reach higher figure.
The accident occurred when gas
which had been turned into the fur
mace ignited. The blast was ter
rifle, hurting steel and brick for two
blocks.
The Lake county coroner is now
investigating the blast but he has
so far been able to gather little in
formation.

RUSSIA REFUSES
SURRENDER ON
DEBTS OF Gar
No British Treaty Is
Coming Just Yet

Especial to The DAILY WoRKER)
LONDON, August 5.-Soviet
Russia's refusal to surrender to
the creditors of Gar Nicholas
and Kerensky has halted the
negotiations between M. Ra-
kovsky and Ramsay Mac
Donald.
AS the result there is no inn
mediate prospect of an Anglo
Russian treaty, tho the recog-
milton of the Soviet government
still stands.
Russian representatives informed
the British diplomats that the Soviet
republic could not consider alleged
British obligations unless the British
in turn admitted their debts to Russia.
Billions of gold rubles worth Of dam
age have been caused directly and in
directly by invading armies. Britain
herself sent troops against Russia and
she gave aid and comfort to imperial
istic forces from other nations.
Premier MacDonalds staunch sup
port Of the financiers who hold the
Cars paper gives little surprise. The
Labor Party has shown more sympa-
they with Asquith liberalism than with
his own party's program since coming
into office.
Failure Of the treaty parleys at this
time is not regarded as highly critical
for Russian foreign trade. The treaty
would have facilitated trade with Bri-
tain but considerable amount OF
trade with that country is going on un.
der present conditions.

Workers Party Puts
Issue to Members

The Workers Party addresses
the following communication to
the rank and file of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers
Union urging them to repudiate
the endorsement of the Wiscon-
sin republican senator by their
General Executive Board and to
back the working class cam
paign of Foster and CitIow:
To the Locals of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers
of America:
Brothers The press dis
patches from Rochester an
nOunce that the General Ex-
ecutive Board of your organ
ziation has endorsed the can
didacy of Senator LaFollette
for the presidency and called
upon your organization to-
give your support to the La
Toilette ticket.
This action by your General Ex-
ecutive Board is a reputation of what
the members of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers have stood for in
the past and also of the action of your
last national convention.
AmaIgamated's Record.
The members of your organization
have in the past been in the forefront
of the labor movement in this coun-
try. 1t has been generally recognized
that the members of the Amalgamat-
ed were conscious of the character of
the struggle going on in industry un-
der the capitalist system. The fact
that this was a class struggle in
which the workers have definite and
distinct interests separte and apart
from any group has been recognized
in many actions of your union.
The endorsement Of Senator LaFol-
lette by your General Executive Board
nullifies the past record of the Anal
gamated. This action proposes to
lead back the members of your organ
ization to the position of those back
ward groups among the workers who
do not accept the fact of the class
struggle and who believe that the gov
eminent is an institution which
serves all the people alike and that
the workers should not attempt to Sc
cure political power for themselves.
This is the position of Senator La.
Toilette. 1t is the position he ex-
pressed in reply to the Gompers en-
dorsement, calling upon organized la
Dor and business men to unite on the
basis Of good citizenship"
LaFoIIette Not For Workers.
Senator LaFollette is not repre-
sentative of the workers. His pro-
gram is not a program in the inter-
ests of the workers. The LaFolIette
program everywhere is making COM
promises with Republicans and Dem
ocrats and will support Republicans
and Democrats in the election cam

.LENIN LIES LIFE-LIKE,
SMILING, AFTER BEING
PERFECTLY EMBALMED
By A. [. PERRY.

Especial to the DAILY WoRkER)
MOSCOW, Aug. 5.-Nicolai Lenin
rests in his tomb as tho he were
merely sleeping. The embaImers
have done perfect job of restoring
the body of the Soviet premier to
Iife-Iike state.
The body rests on a revolutionary
red velvet bier in a Theoretically
sealed glass covered coffin. Even
the smile of the Russian proIetarian
leader is preserved.
An armed Red Soldier stands at
the head and another at the foot
of the bier.
Professor Sbarski, Moscow Inst-
tute of Chemical Science, and
Professor Vorobeff of kharkov Uni
versIty, are responsible for the four
months embaIming process, using
the first purely scientific chemical
formula, based on pathological re-
search. A solution of gIycerine and
calcium replaces the water of the
body. The professors claim this is
a greater triumph than that of the
Egyptian embaImers.
They declare also that Lenin's
body should last forever If no great
change takes place in the temper
ature of the mausoIeum. The pre-
sent temperature IS SO degrees Fab
renheit or 16 degrees Reaumur. The
cost of the embaIming was $500.

THE workers and exploited farmers
of the United States face the
question Of how to organize and use
their political power in the coming
election. Before deciding this ques-
ton every industrial worker, agricul-
tural worker and exploited farmer
should give fundamental consideration
to the situation which exists in this
country.
In the Grip of the ExpIoiters.
The United States is the wealthiest
country In the world. We have nat
ural resources which supply us with
raw materials and great industrial
organization which can turn these
raw materials into the finished pro-
ducts which satisfy human needs.
With the raw materials available and
the tremendous machinery of produc-
ton we have the means OF giving a
high standard of life-good food, good

cept low standard of living in
order that the capitalists may
amass even greater fortunes for
themselves"
This private ownership of industry
and system of exploitation is main
tanned thru the capitalists grip on the
government of the United States.
THE government of the United States
is and has been a government of, by
and for the capitalists" the platform
declares.
Strlkebreaker, Morgan Lawyer.
To maintain this capitalist dictator
ship, the platform says, the capitalists
have nominated two candidates, "the
Republican strike-breaker Coolidge
and the Morgan-Rockefelle Lawyer,
Davis" Dealing with the independent
candidacy of LaFollette, the platform
states, 'LaFollette, who is running as
an Independent progressive RepubIi-
can, is equally supporter of the cap
italist system of exploitation"
The platform calls upon all workers
and farmers to support the only work
ers' candidates, Foster and Gitlow,
against these representatives. of the
capitalist system.
Rule of Workers.

ship there must be established the
rule Of the workers. The government
tai power must be used in the inter-
ests of the workers and farmers as it
is now used by the capitalist dictator
ship in the interests of the capitalist
class.
The Russian workers and peasants
have established their rule in the form
of the Soviet Government and are u.s.
ing their power against the capitalists
and for themselves-to build a Com
munist social system which will give
the workers and farmers the fruits of
their toll"
This, the platform declares, must al
so be the goal of the workers and
farmers Of the United States.

AS WE SEE 1T
BY T. J. o'FLAHERTY

Three hundred guests assembled at
the home of Edward L. Doheny in
Los Angeles, among them several at
torneys and the honorable Albert B.
Fall. They joked and laughed over
the oil indictments against Doheny
and his friends for their success in
grabbing the California naval oil re-
serves from the government. Mr..
Fall did not look the least bit like a
sick man. He was scheduled to de-
liver a speech but his activities were
astronomical, rather than oratorical.
The way he put away a big dinner
must be encouraging to his physi-
clans considering how very i'll the gen.
tleman was when the public lands
committee had the oil fields under in
to bother much over indictments.
But in the very state where these law
breakers held the banquet, Tom
Mooney and hundreds of other work
ers sat in Jail not for robbing the gov
eminent but because they tried to or
ganize the workers to get a better
standard of living. And yet we are
told there is no class rule in the
United States.
The Chicago Daily News remarks
that the socialist party was born in
one jail and died in another. When
Debs was Jailed for his activities in
the A. R. U. strike Victor Berger Wis
tied him in Jail and brot him book
on socialism. Thus the socialist party
was born. When Debs went to jail
for his anti-war Canton speech, the
socialist party died. That is a rather
naive explanation of it's birth and
death. But there is a general agree
ment that it is dead.
Another revolution has broken out
in Honduras despite the peacezagree-
ment recently negotiated thru the eff
forts Of the United States, said dis
patch to the state department. Ameri-
can experts are figuring more and
more in the internal affairs of South
America. The United States finan-
ciers are not satisfied with dominating
South America but stretch out their
hands all over the world for more
fields to conquer. This is the country
that went to war with Germany in
1917 to save the world from imperial
ism. 1t was thot that hypocrisy was
British virtue but the latter do not
seem to have monopoly on it.
