OHIO WORKERS
And FARMERS IN
FL. P. RALLY
Expect Big Meeting in
Columbus, June 9TH
BY J. A. HAMILTON.
Especial to The Daily Workerl

LIMA, Ohio, June IA large ana
enthusiastic convention at Columbus,
June z and 8, to organize an Ohio
Farmer-Labor party, is indicated by
the responses received by Scott VIII
kins, provisional secretary, from such
organizations as the Guernsey Coun-
ty Central Labor Union Cambridge,
Carpenters District Board of Dayton,
and other organizations in Canton,
GAINESVILLE, Cleveland, Girard, Column
bus and other cities.
Lima Gets Busy.
May %, on call of the central body
Of Lima, a conference was held here
at which was formed the Allen county
Farmer-Labor party, which elected
seven delegates to Columbus and two
to st. Paul MAX Lerner and Scott
Wilkins). A nominating COMMITTEES
was also selected to report to a con-
ference to convene after the Colum-
bus convention on candidates for Al
len county Offices in the coming cleo
ton.
On May 20 a branch Of the FEEDER
ated Farmer-Labor party was organ
lied in Cincinnati, following a meet
ing addressed by Max Lerner. A dele
gate was elected to the Columbus con-
vention and plans were laid for an az
flliation campaign among the workers
organizations of Cincinnati.
Painters and MachlnIsts Elect.
The Cleveland painters and the ma
chinists of Cincinnati have elected
delegates to St. Paul, the delegate
from the latter being A. J. Feldhaus.
Similar action has been taken by the
Columbiana County Protective league,
composed mainly Of farmers. Enthu-
siasts in different sections, including
Lima, Cincinnati, Columbiana, are
planning auto trips to st. Paul, which
thus seems to be the center of attrac-
ton for the awakening farmers and
workers of Ohio as of the other states.
Reports from Cleveland indicate
that the action of the Cleveland fed
Grafton machine in steam rolling to
death the conference recently held on
political action by labor has met with
severe criticism as the various dele
gates have reported to their local
unions.
ReactionarIes Arouse Criticism.
Max Hayes, in the Cleveland Citi-
zen, reports that at the federation
meeting of May Fl the sentiment was
strong for reconvening of the con-
ference, either by the federation, or
il not by it, by such local unions as
are favorable, OF which there seems
to be quite number

NEARING SAYS
SOVIET IN U. S.
is newt ABLE
Bertrand Russell Agrees
Old System Dying
(ey Lac Federated Pres,l

NEW YORK, June IA Soviet
form Of government in the United
States will follow the wars and col.
lapse of capitalist society which is
coming, according to Scott Nearing,
who debated the question in New
York with Bertrand Russell, British
Socialist and scientist. Russell agreed
that the capitalist system is rapidly
disentegrating, but thought 1t would
be followed-at least in Western
Europe-by return to mi-barbar-
ism in which the countryside dominat-
ed the towns and industrial life.
Recognition Of Soviet Russia by the
United States was advocated by
Samuel Untermyer, who presided, and
by Nearing and Russell.
Soviets Not Invented.
Tho it might not come for ten or
twenty years, Nearing said that revo-
luton was inevitable as result of
wars, economic depression and inten-
sified class struggle. He said the
Soviet form of government was not
invented but created by economic
forces as transitional form between
capitalism and complete communism.
He showed how feudalism and previ-
Gus political forms were created by
economic conditions and argued that
economic and social chaos, now TAX
ing place necessitated the Soviet form.
He defined the Soviet system as
representation along economic lines in
contrast to geographical representa-
ton under the present system. Near
ing agreed with Russell in wishing
that the change from capitalism would
come without struggle and dictator
ship, but on the basis of history and
present facts he thought the change
would come thru dictatorship.

BETHLEHEM, Pa, June 1.-The
Steel Trusts municipal government
has begun a campaign OF terror
against the striking women and girls
Of the Cigarmakers' Union, who have

The officers have started .arresting
the active pickets, realizing at last
that the strike is serious. The union
is finding considerable difficulty in
securing lawyer to defend the pick

trolls practically every attorney in the

CRIPPLED WAR
VETS GETTING
DOUBLE CROSS
Arizona Bureau is Now
Under Fire
By DAISY LEE.

(staff Correspondent Of the Fed. Pressl
PHOENIX, Ari, June Charges
OF inefticiency, indifference to duty
and lack of sympathy for the disabled
men on the part of Major Louis T.
Grant, 18th district, U. S. veterans
bureau, and his associates, were made
by witnesses testifying before a com
mittee investigating the bureau in
Arizona.
Many instances were cited where
great suffering has been occasioned
thru red tape of the department.
James Jordan, veteran invaded
home from France, has to try to sun
port himself and family on $40 per
month despite incurable epilepsy and
inability to work. Altho Jordan made
a trip to San Francisco to obtain a
Just rating, he was refused aid by the
bureau. Since his discharge from the
army he has incurred debts of $4,000
and he has been virtually an object
of charity.
G. r. Whitcomb presented afidavits
he had been trying for the past two
years to collect $140O due him for
time and money spent in the hospi-
tai before the government allowed
his compensation. He said he had
been rendered $1S in settlement.
Strong objections were also made to
the manner in which the bureau ad-
ministers vocational training. Charg-
es were made that men were put in
vacations to which they were not
adapted and applications for transfer
into other lines were ignored.

Baltimore Building
Laborers Winning
Strike For Wages
BY ADRIAN JAKIRA.
Especial to The Daily WOrker)

NORSStAt
BALTIMORE, Md, June 1.-About
five hundred men Of the Information.
al Hold Carriers, Building and Com.
mon Laborers' Union, Local NO. 756,
have been out on strike since May 4.
The workers, mainly Italians and me-
groes, were compelled to strike after
the contractors refused to Sign an
agreement calling for a wage scale
of 65 and 20 cents an hour and an
eight-hour working day.
According to the old agreement, the
laborers were supposed to receive As
and so cents an hour, The contrac-
tors, however, were generous"
enough to pay 65 instead OF As cents
an hour as the agreement called for,
The reason for this generosity Of the
contractors was plain. They meant
that by doing this they would break
the union and then dictate to the
workers any conditions they would
see fit. They failed, however, to
achieve their purpose.
The spirit of the strikers is excel
lent, despite the fact that they have
against them both the police and the
kept press. Up to the present mo-
ment, four contractors have accepted
the terms Of the union and signed up
a new agreement.
The strikers are confident that the
other contractors will have to follow
and accept the terms of the union.

Shoemaker, Farmer-Labor candidate

money? The United States has lent
huge sums to Peru, Chile, Brazil, Ar

is that the United States is waiting
and provoking an unbearable eco

ready it will step in and exact usur-

RUSSIA USING
CO-OPS TO AID
POOR PEASANTS
Sale of Cheap Flows
Defeats Loan Sharks
RY ANIsE.

(Staff Correspondent Of the Fed. Press)
MOSCOW, June LIN the villages
the kulak, or rich peasant, has been
increasing in wealth, lending food and
horse and pillow to poorer peasants and
exacting terms which enslave the lat
ter for months to come. In one case
where the government declared these
contracts in violation of law, the poor
er peasants themselves petitioned to
have them restored, "as otherwise we
would starve."
Conditions like these can only be
met by cheap goods to the peasant,
plows and use Of horses, and other
supplies sent out thru the co-opera-
tive channels. But these are dificult
to secure in the prevailing lack Of
capital. They are what make credits
passionately desired. In the uncer-
tainty of help from abroad, this ques-
ton of a trade crisis is matter Of
central thought at the conference Of
the Russian Communist party now in
session in Moscow.
Dlnculties 6roWing Less.
While the problem is taken serious
ly by the Russian administration, it's
Importance from the point of external
politics need not be estimated very
high. Each year the dificulties have
grown less and the emergencies have
become more and more questions Of
good organization and less of force.
If it should come to test of
strength between kulaks and govern
ment, there is absolutely no question
but that the kulaks would be COM
pletely overpowered. Russia at pres
ent is not interested in such tests by
force, but in success on the economic
field and beating out the individualist
kulaks by cooperation and education.
This is a more delicate process which
takes planning and long term Of
years.
