Especial to The DAILY woRKER)

Especial to The DAILY WoRkER.)
PEORIA, Ill, Sept r. The left
wing Of the miners union struck a
fierce blow at the LaFollette and Len
Small hackers today when Walker
and olander in long speeches, tried to
get the convention to buy bonds for
the LaFollette campaign.
Olander splashed tears all over the
convention in his plea to the dele
gates to buy bonds because LaFol-
lette had such a lovable personality
Tom Parry, militant miner. spoke
after Olander. He said he is oppos-
ed to the convention buying bonds
for the LaFollette campaign because
LaFollette represented the small
capitalists and this was a conven-
ton representing workers.
LaFoIIette for Capitalist System.
"LaFoIlette is in favor Of continu.
ing the capitalist system which en-
slaves the workers." he said.
1T is strange that our labor lead

of LaFollette always go backward.
Olander points out the dark and dis
NAL days of long ago, of the Sea-
mems union. But to the workers 1t
is question of what LaFollette is
doing today and what he will do in
the future"
He said the miners average IS a
day when they worked. In his mine
700 men draw $500 day in wages.
Every day they work they produce
$4,000 of wealth. How can they be
expected to buy back what they pro-
duce?
System for Exploitation.
Parry said he was against the CAPT
talist system because as long as it
continued, exploitation of the work
ers would continue and he was
against LaFollette because he stood
for the perpetuation of that system.

prison-made goods in competition with
the products OF free labor, was dis.
cussed and generally condemned. Reso.
buttons urging the prohibition OF pub

recommending its use exclusively in

However we are not concerned with
the cock-eyed conception Of militarism

~ on the part of one of H. G. Wells
Marian visitors, but it would be
straining credulity to believe that a

Willard was equally hopeful, when the
