STATE CONSTABULARY
is PRIVATE VENTURE
OF BOSSES AND KHAN

When the ordinary worker hears
Of the activities Of the Estate Con-
stabulary Of Illinois" he jumps to the
conclusion that this organization is
part Of the state machinery such
as the state constabulary Of Penn
syIvania, The DAILY WORKER
discloses that such is not the case.
The state eonstabuIary of Illinois
is private organization backed by
Chicago politicians, the Ku kIux
Khan, and those employers Of labor
who allow it to shake down the
workers because it shouts Ameri-
canism and builds up the skeleton
for a state miIitarism.
S. Glenn Young, the notorious
Southern Illinois gunman, uses the
state constabulary as his sole au-
thority for his Iawbreakine activi-
ties. Politicians use the ornaniza-
ton to push miIitaristie propaganda
and to aid them into office. The
workers pay the expenses and all
they get in return is a tin star and
and organization which will shoot
them down in times of strikes and
wars.
This issue contains the first Of a
series of articles exposing the mill
taristic, ku kIux Khan activities Of
the state eonstabulary.

Glenn Young Exposed
as CossQck Officer
BY KARL REEVE.

That the Illinois department
of constabulary, with Offices at
104 West Monroe Street, is COM
posed almost entirely of Ku KIux
Klan members, with a sprinkIing
of Chicago politicians, and that
it was organized as a basis for
a legal state constabulary in
case the employers succeed in
putting a state constabuIary
over on the people of Illinois, is
disclosed in an investigation of
the organization by the DAILY
WORKER.
Members of this private cor
poration disclose to the DAILY
WORKER that over two hun
dred klansmen in Herrin are
members of the state constabu-
larry, and that S. Glenn Young,
the southern Illinois khan raider
and law breaker, is an officer
of the state constabulary.
The state constabulary is a private
organization composed Of gangsters
and thugs, with number of honest
workers who are roped in to believ-

SPOTLIGHT IS
THROWN ON BIG
LABOR FAKER
His History Marcel of
CrOOkedneSS
BY 7. j. o'FLAHERTY
ARTICLE ~

The DAILY WORKER in the
performance of its duty to the
revolutionary movement for the
freedom of the workingcIass,
not only is obliged to fight the
capitalist system and the capt.
taIist class who are the direct
beneficiaries of that system but
also the labor Iieutenants of
capital or better known as
labor takers.
This Shiny crew of treacher-
Gus capitalist auxillaries are
very useful allies of the capital
list class in the latter's incessant
war on the workers. Indeed, it
is no exaggeration to say that
but for the aid of these hire
lings, the capitalist class in
every country would not hold
power for week.
The labor faker is not purely Am
'erican phenomenon. ffe can be found
in every country in the world. But
he can be seen in the United States
at his worst because the capitalist
class of this country can afford to
pay their agents better for service
rendered than any other collection of
capitalist robbers in the world.
There are degrees of treason even
among labor takers. 1t is not the pur-
pose of this series of articles to pick
on any particular specimen of the
species and hold him up to public
scorn in order to satisfy a desire for
vengeance against the breed, but
rather to make use of the career of
as odious political leper as ever ex.
listed in the United States in order to
enlighten the working class in gen.
eral and the miners of Illinois in par
ticular of the nature of the situation
with which they are confronted so
that they may be able to meet it,
The Horrible Example.
The specimen we have selected for
our attention is no other than Frank
harrington, president Of the Illinois
Miners Union, also known as Dis
trict IL of the United Mine Workers
of America.
The time for making the exposure
is opportune as it comedies with the
election campaign that is now being
waged inside the miners union of H.
linois. harrington and his henchmen
are seeking reelection to the Offices
which they have disgraced by their
presence, and which they have used
to serve the interests of the coal OPP
orators OF Illinois rather than the
miners who are paying their salaries.
The harrington machine having
long ago lost the confidence Of the
Illinois miners is now in desperation
resorting to the same Illegal methods
in getting rid of its opponents that

FLAYS SIGMAN
Reactionary Officials
In New Plot
tsDeeIaI to The paIIx workerl

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Thou-
sands of rank and file workers
in the cloak and dressmakine
trades assembled IN Cooper On
ion hall yesterday to protest
against the czarist tactics of the
officiaIdom of the international
Ladies' Garment Workers I'm
ion, which for two years, under
the direction of President Nor
ris Signan, in New York, and
Vice-President Meyer PerIstein
in Chicago, has depleted the
union treasury, has expelled the
fighting union members who
have attempted to put thru pro-
gressive measures, has choked
off every effort at real gain for
the workers, and has surren-
dered the rights of the union to
the arbitrary demands of bosses
and government agents who
were backing up the bosses.
A resolution calling for a
huge mass meeting in Madison
Square Garden and another re-
solution denouncing the latest
move of the officials-the foisting of
an increase of fifteen cents in dues
without even pretense at consulting
the membership-were carried by ac-
clamation. A sum of over six hundred
dollars was collected to carry on the
fight and committee of one hundred
and fifty elected to circulate the petit
tions against the action of the ma
chine.
Overflow Meeting.
Hours before the time for which
the meeting was announced, workers
were fiocking direct from the shops
to Cooper Union hail. A big over
flow meeting was held in the Stuy-
vesant Casino, and hundreds Of
workers stood outside, unable to gain
admittance.
The workers made 1t clear that it
is not so much the increase in dues
which they mind as the fact that this
increase is enforced over the heads
Of the membership and against their
will. They have lost faith in the Of
ficials and know that the funds which
are to be raised will be used, not 10
gain the demands of the workers
against the bosses, but to enforce the
decisions Of the bureaucracy and TO
build up the machine.
To Drop Dctators.
The anger of the rank and file
workers in the needle trades, which
has been aroused by the tactics which
the Sigman machine has been using
for the past two years, has now
reached a point where they are ready
to overthrow the official dictatorship.
Ever since the beginning of its term
in Office, the Sigman-Perlstein $50
clalist" officials have tried TO lead the
union along the path OF reaction.
At the national convention OF the
needle trades held in Boston, the ma
chine expelled the militant workers.

being overthrown by a revolu-
tionary mass movement of the
working class.
Calls It Hopeless MuIliean"
"The differing characteristics of the
German social-democracy, the labor
party of Great Britain the left bloc
in France, and the LaFollette move
ment," said Foster, "only serve to
emphasize their common historical
function.
''The first is party of workers
built on individual membership with a
long history, the second is fedora
ton build mainly on workers econ
omic organizations with more brief
historical background. the third is a
parliamentary combination of labor
and petty bourgeois parties and
groups, and the last, the LaFollette
movement, is a hopeless mulligan of
all class elements without any definite
form.
But above all these differences,
their common element and their COM
mon social function stand cut with
startling clearness. All are the
binders put upon the masses, the
embodiment of the democratic flu
sions, by means of which capitalism
perpetuates its rule.

the first Communist candidate for
president" said Foster, in opening his
speech. II will tell you a secret-that
do not expect to be elected" The
laughter of the crowd quickly changed
to enthusiastic cheers as Foster went
on to say: But some day a Commun-
list will head the government that
rules over America, only when that
time comes the position will not be
called PRESIDENT will be chairman
of the All-American Soviet"
Must Organize Advance Guard.
Mobilization of the advance guard
Of the workers was stressed by Foster
as a fundamental aim of the Workers
Party in its election campaign. The
strengthening and building ofthe Work
ers Party, thru the enlistment Of all
workers who realize that the only
road for their class leads to the over
throw of the capitalist system was
emphasized by Foster. He appealed to
all such workers in the hall to put
in their application for membership
in the Workers Party.
"The DAILY WORKER is the
greatest single weapon OF the Amer
lean workers in their struggle against
oppression" declared Foster. and he
called for united and energetic efforts
to extend its circulation to the mil
lions of workers who have not yet
seen II.
"Our biggest task today" said
Foster, is TO combat and destroy the
illusion. which is the
greatest obstacle to the development
