Steam Whistle Kills Five
Hundred Embryo Chicks
387 Pop Out When the Disturber's
Vibrations Cease

Here's a real egg story from La
mar, Mo. Maybe the town folks
haven't been noticing that the whistles
at the light plant hasn't been blowing
for some time. Well, there's a reason.
Some time ago Judge Arthur Mel
son, who lives just across the road
from the light plant, set $40 fancy
purebred eggs that cost him 8 cents
apiece. The eggs were placed in the
brooder, which sat in the basement at
the judges house. Only eighteen Of
this more than half a thousand eggs
Matched. An examination of the dead
eggs showed that the embryo chicks
all persisted at a certain stage.
Judge Nelson finally figured it out
that the chicks were killed by the vi
brations of the loud steam whistle at
the plant He asked the boys at the
plant not to blow the whistle when
he set his next batch of eggs. They
didn't blow the whistle during this
brooding period, and out of sos eggs
there came forth at the end OF three
week 387 chicks.

FOSTER TO DEBs

Fosters reply to Debs follows:
July 80, 1924.
Mr.. Eugene v. Debs,
Elmhurst, Ill.
Dear Comrade Debs: In your let
ter of July 23rd to me you evade
the main issue. You fail to tell the
reason why Debs, the revolution
airy" Socialist, endorses La Toilette,
the anti-Socialist. l can appreciate
your difficulty in this matter. You
content yourself simply with max
ing a series of attacks against the
Workers Party, as though that were
to blame. These l cannot permit
to pass unchallenged.
You speak of the "sorry and dis
crediting" figure which the Workers
Party will cut in the coming cleo
ton campaign, as compared with
the role of the Socialist Party. Let
us see. Faced by the great petty
bourgeois movement headed by La
Toilette, which is engulfing whole
sections of the labor movement, the
Workers Party has dared to stand
true to its revolutionary mission
and to denounce this false leader
and his class collaboration program.
It ventures to defend the slogans Of
the class struggle and to make the
election fight upon revolutionary
basis. AS against this uncompromis-
ing attitude, the Socialist Party has
abandoned even the last remnants
of its lip-service to revolutionary
principles and is unreservedly sup
porting the ridiculous and reaction
airy trust-busting program of La
Toilette; it has betrayed the farmer
labor movement and, adopting the
G. P. P. A. plan, it will either ac-
cept openly or wink at the endorse
ment Of friends" of labor on the
two old party tickets in the ap-
proved Gompers manner. You may
blind yourself to the significance of
this pitiful surrender to LaFollette
and Gompers, but the revolutionary
elements in the working class will
not. Without difficulty they will dis
Germ that in the present situation it
is not the w. p. but the S. P. which
is cutting sorry and discrediting"
figure. The recent letter of Land
fersiek, former National Secretary
of the s. p, condemning La Toilette
and endorsing the Workers Party
candidates, voices the true senti-
ments of the few proletarian ele-
ments still remaining in the S. P.
In one respect your letter is cor
rect-I have an exceedingly poor
opinion of the Socialist Party. 1
have learned something Of the
treachery of its sister parties in
Europe, of how they have betrayed
the revolution time and again.
abundant experience shows that
the American Socialist Party is cut
from the same cloth. The Hill
quits and Bergers are only Scheide-
MAINS and Noskes lacking opportu-
nifty. Consequently, /, for one, ex-
pected little else from the Socialist
Party in Cleveland than the COM

cording to a press dispatch, that he
had been "double-crossed" by the
Communists and that the net result
of their duplicity and treachery
would be a split in the ranks, if
not the disruption Of the Farmer
Labor party Of Minnesota.
You may be right in your criti-
cism of my position and l may be

NEED BAIL FOR
z imp RISONED
FARRELL men
Fight on Steel Trust Re-
quires Funds

YOUNGSTOWN, O., July 3O.-Five
members of the Workers Party and
two other workers of Farrell, Pa, are
being held under the Criminal Syndi-
calism law of the state of Pennsylva-
MIA on account Of membership in the
Workers Party Cases against two Of
these workers, Tony and Andy Kova-
covich, have been tried and both have
been found guilty, but the cases are
pending in the courts during the APP
peal for a new trial.
Bond in these cases has been fixed
at $4,000 cash or $4,000 property. Five
Of the indicted men are out on bail,
but two of them, John Radias and
Andy Dugan, are being held in the
Mercer County prison.
Both these workers had been re-
leased on bond, but pressure was
brought upon their bondsmen by the
officials in Mercer County and these
bondsmen surrendered them to the
authorities, compelling them to go
back to prison.
The prosecutions at Farrell, Pa, are
part of the efforts Of the Steel Trust
to destroy the Workers Party organ
ization in the steel district. While
everywhere else Workers Party mem.
bers are conducting their work un-
molested, in Western Pennsylvania an
effort is being made to make it a crime
to belong to the Workers Party. Be-
fore this can be done, however, these
cases will be brought to the highest
courts of the state.
Meanwhile it is important that John
Radias and Andy Dugan be freed from
prison during the time the cases are
pending. individuals and labor organ
izations which are ready to assist in
this case, particularly in securing bail
for these men, are urged to loan liberty
bonds or cash thru the Labor Defense
and Free Speech Council of Western
Ohio, P. o. Box SS3, Youngstown, Ohio.
This organization is conducting the
fight for freedom Of the seven men in
dicted at Farrell.
