"The South-SIavic Federation

I'VE have already brot the presses of

In spite of the fact that large pro
portion of the comrades in the South

whom have been unemployed for
months, these comrades are expected
to set to work with the determination

COMMUNISTS IN
ELECTION fight
FOR RE|CHSTAG
Results to Affect the

BY ARTHUR ROSENBERG.
Especial to The Daily Worker)

BERLIN, Dec. 4.-The Com
munist party is preparing for
the elections of next Sunday,
Dec. 7, the penitentiary cleo
tons, as the popular saying
rightly expresses it, under the
most difficult conditions.
The situation recalls the
Duma elections under czarism,
or the elections which have
taken place in recent times in
the domain of the Polish
democracy" in Finland, Jugo-
slavia, or Mussolini's Italy.
Fear Communist Strength.
The fact that there were 62 Com
munist members of the Reichstag in
Germany and that on the 4th Of May,
100000 votes we're cast for the
Communist Party, did not at all fit in
to the system of the Dawes plan.
In the experts plan the German
government has been explicitly
charged with the task Of creating, in
mutual agreement with the creditor
countries, such conditions as would
make Germany appear a trustworthy
debtor in the eyes Of other countries.
Four million Communists in Ger.
many constitute, however, a factor
which most seriously Injuries the Gre
dit of the German bourgeoisie. Every
million less of Communist votes i'm
plies a cheapening by 2 per cent OF
the credit for the German state and
private loans abroad. The weakening
Of Communism is a vital part Of the
policy Of fulfilment Of the German
bourgeoisie and German social-demo-
cracy.
Revolutions Not Made in Parliament.

are exceedingly stupid. A revolution

IL is quite significant that Mexican
capitalist in the so-called socialist
government, gives out an interview
saying that the invasion of Mexico
by Gompers has killed socialism in
Mexico. He added that, Radical lead
ers who have created trouble have
been either discredited or have been

Pittsburgh MilitGnts in.
Hot Election
Especial to The Daily Worker,


PITTSBURGH, Dec. 4.-On
the eve of the elections in Dis
trict S, Of the United Mine
Workers of America, the pro-
gressives in the miners union
of that section have issued a
statement setting forth the prin-
cipIes for which they stand and
charging the reactionary Off,
ciaIdom with serious Grimes
against the interests of the.
union membership.
The administration of Pat
Pagan, president of District 5,
has surpassed in brazen disre-
gard of the interests of the rank
and file that Of any previous
incumbent, declares the state
ment. The $3,0O0,0OO of the
district defense fund is spent,
without an accounting ever be-
ing made.
Large sums we're paid to stool
pigeon by the name of w. d. Reese,
for services which were not specified.
while the officers of the district draw
fat salaries and high expense ac-
counts.
The signing of the Cleveland agree
ment by Lewis resulted in $4,000 min
ers in the coke region being left out
in the cold without any substantial
relief, with 175.OOO children to provide
for.
Again the Jacksonville agreement
which Lewis claimed would stabilize
the coal industry threw hundreds Of
thousands of miners out Of work and
allowed the open shop operators to
make heavy inroads on hitherto or
ganized territory
Contract Violations.
The operators are violating the
sacred contract" with impunity.
Most fragrant" states the manifesto,
lis the violation of the provision that
a loader shall have two rooms, work
ing in one until it is cleaned UP, so
as not to interfere with the cutters.
In this district in practically every
mine, there are two men to every
room, and their earnings are far to
low to secure a comfortable living
for a family"
The progressive miners charge the
officers of the Pittsburgh district with
trying to defend the stoolpigeon Ro-
bert w. Beattie, former secretary of
the Pittsburgh Central Labor Union,
and to save him from expulsion in
face of unquestionable evidence that
he was an industrial spy.
These takers also deserted the
miners convicted for participation in
the Cliftonville riots. Thirty eight of
these men are rotting in Moundsville
prison, and are completely ignored by
the officers of the district.
DisquaIifying Candidates
Fearing the growing power of the
progressive opposition the last des.
perate act of this shaky oficialdom
was to disqualify candidates for Office
and frame charge against candidates
Harminson, Toohey and Wekich.

the platform of the progress miners
and declare their intention Of fighting
for the following demands:

Before Removing Fender
Put Kerosene on Bolts

The automobile repalrer bases his
charges for Installing new fender
mainly on the time he spends trying to
remove the old one. And the car
owner will discover that the frozen"
nuts and bolts which hold the fender
In place will prevent most Of the diff
nculty encountered In this sort OF
work. The rule Is to squirt kerosene
over the fender bolts Just before try
Ing to loosen them with the screw
driver. Butsthe rule Is not always the
logical way to do things. A great deal
of time will be saved by giving the
fender bolts a kerosene bath the night
previous to the day the work Is to be
done. In the morning much of the
rust will have been removed and the
bolts will turn much easier, for the
kerosene will have had ample time to
do It's share OF the work.

over considerable band of wave
lengths. The secondary is tuned en-
tirely by the variable condenser.
When the tuning has been accom-
plished the proper amount Of regen-
Grafton may be obtained by moving
the ticker coll in and out.
The circuit has now three separate
divisions and the oscillations are
more easily controlled and kept within
the limits Of the set. However, all
ordinary regenerative sets radiate to
a certain extent, and therefore tuning
adjustments should be made as quick
ly as possible, keeping this in mind.
The previous little set / described does
not radiate any more than any other
set after station has been tuned In,
and there being only one adjustment
the tuning can be accomplished so
rapidly that during this tuning work
very little can get out into the ether
to cause interference. But people
have personal preferences, and for
those who prefer three-circuit tuner

suggested.-New York Sun.

Mari Furnishes Calcium
Essential for All Hogs

That mari can be used in place OF
air-slacked lime or ground limestone In
a mineral mixture for hogs is indicated
In an experiment recently completed
ut Minnesota University farm. The
mari used in the trial came from near
Backus and contained SO per cent cal
ciuhi carbonate, the remainder of the
analysis showing mostly fine sand and
clay.
"a mineral mixture composed of 80
per cent mari and 20 per cent salt was
fully as satisfactory for growing fat
tening pigs as standard mixture of
40 per cent slaked lime. 40 per cent
honemeal and 20 per cent salt" says
B. F. Ferrin, professor of animal hus
bandry. For feeding month after
month to breeding stock the mari and
salt might not be as satisfactory as
mixture containing bonemeal which
supplies phosphorus. 1t is reasonably
certain even with the limited data at
hand that mari will supply calcium
just as well or possibly better than
limestone or slaked lime. The small
amount of earthly material In the mari
is no particular disadvantage. SO little
is eaten that no harm can come from
this source

Points for Motorist to
Watch on Slippery Days

To prevent skidding, number of
points should be observed in both ope-
ration and care of car. Before ven
turing out in slippery streets with a
car the engine should be in smooth
running order, the clutch should dis
engage easily and freely and engage
without suddenly grabbing. The brakes
should be adjusted so that they take
hold sufficiently to stop the car, but
will not lock the wheels except when
additional pressure Is exerted. They
should also take hold evenly at both
wheels, because If they do not a sure
swerve of the machine to the side of
the tightest brake will result. A car
which does not have both front and
rear wheels In line will not efficiently
hold the road in wet weather, especial
ly when brakes are applied. This lat
ter trouble may be due to sprung axles.

TREAT YOUR CAR
WITH AFFECTION
Fact That 1t Is Inanimate
Thing Is Lost Sight of
by Considerable Owner.

| (By ERWIN GREER, President Greer Col
lege of Automotive Engineering Chicago.)
Mans tendency to ascribe a person
atty to his automobile is In no way
surprising. 1t Is just a natural out
growth of his innate love of pets.
Where he used to have a horse as
companion for his play hours he
now bestows the affection of master
upon his mOtorcar. Even his dog must
share the petting with the sleek, speed
eating, gasoline quadruped.
So man has come to give his favor
lite car soul and name. The fact
that 1t is an inanimate thing in the
way of being homeless and deaf is lost
sight of. When business or home
troubles arise the man turns to the
companionship Of his automobile and,
like Rip Van Wrinkle with his dog,
goes into the hills. If tired a romp
in the country with his mechanical
pet rests him. He confides his yearn-
ings to his car and It responds by In
terpreting his every mood.

the considerable master has the most
companionable motor pet. He who
quarrels with his machine gets a re-
Spouse that matches. Mistreated, the
car behaves as abominably as a
whipped horse Or starved dog.
Caressed with proper care and regu-
Iarly fed with water, oil, gasoline, 1t
obeys-with all the feeling Of loved
one.
Even more than all this. man
chooses his pets from the most eff
Client breeds. SO, In picking an auto
mobile, his selection falls to the one
that will most readily respond to his
demands for comfort, power mileage,
and, at the same time,
be economically kept.
And comfort means success with
motor touring as well as In anything
else. Comfort is the reason for the
modern highway. 1t Is not merely
the smooth road but also the way the
road Is posted. There are lots of
signs and arrows pointing the way you
should go without even having to
slacken speed to read them. OF
course you can take maps-but Of
what use are these other than to tell
you the statistics of the town through
which you are passing? Even Mr.

future comfort-that the country Is
