PFENNTG WILL
STUMP DISTRICT
To Close Campaign With
Tour Through First
District.
HERE ON SATURDAY
viii Close Campaign on Satur-
day Evening with a
Speech Here.

plans FOR whirlwind finish for the
campaign of Charles H. Pfennig for
the Republican nomination for con-
gresham from this district, were
made public this morning by those in
charge of the Pfennig campaign.
During this last week of the campaign
Mr.. Pfennig plans to stump the dis
trict, going into several counties and
closing his campaign so far as Keno
sha county is concerned, with an
address TO be delivered here on next
Saturday evening.
This speech making tour will start
this evening with meeting at Belolt;
on Wednesday noon there will be a
meeting in the interests of the Pfen-
mig candidacy at Whitewater and at
Wednesday night meeting at Elkhorn.
Friday at Racine.
Friday evening a meeting is sched-
uled to take place at Racine and on
Saturday to Kenosha.
In addition to the speeches by Mr..
Pfennig, who will state the stand
which he has already taken in support
of the Republican national platform,
there will also be addresses by Major
Dent Atkinson, who is coming into
the first district in the support of
the Pfennig candidacy.
The series of addresses promises to
bring real thrill in the closing days
of the congressional campaign in this
district, which has become one of the
closest campaigns in any congressional
district of the state.
Kenosha Is battle-ground.
Kenosha and the entire first district
appears to have become one of the
backgrounds of the campaign on near
Nv every issue. This is emphasized in
the gubernatorial contest for the Re-
publican nomination as Gov Blaine
speaks at Library Park tonight and
Lieutenant Governor Comings, who is
opposing him for the nomination, will
deliver an address at the same park
on Wednesday evening.
A. R. Hirst, the other candidate for
the Republican nomination for COVER
nor, delivered one of the keynote
speeches of his campaign in Kenosha
a few days ago.

Chinese Police Won't
Interfere in Strike
OF Chinese Workers
10y Federated Press.l

WASHINGTON, July S1.-state de-
partment reports from Canton in
dictate that the strike Of Chinese serv-
ants, police and other employees in
the foreign quarter there is spread
ing, and is likely to develop into a
long drawn out struggle against their
white employers. While the name Of
DR.. Sun Vat Sen, liberator of China
and head of the Canton government,
is not mentioned, the statement is
made that If foreigners suffer damage
from the strike, the native govern
ment will be held responsible.
Thus far there are no reports Of
shooting down of strikers by the
whites, as was the case at the begin
ming of the previous strike. Organ
ization OF the movement appears to
have been perfected in advance, as
is shown by the refusal Of the native
police to serve in any capacity during
the contest.

is to iron out some of the diff

Officially Hughes is visiting Paris
solely as the president Of the Amer
lean bar association, but there Is
little attempt TO conceal his real
purpose. French newspapers are
frankly discussing his visit from the
Dawes plan angle and a distinctly
hostile attitude is shown towards
him as the representative Of the
bankers who seek to crowd them
away from the German trough.

Greater Job Control
Seen Necessary AS
Rebel Worker Is Fired
BY w. J. WHITE.
Especial to The Daily Worked


GIRARD, Ohio, July 31.-The other
day l sat in one of the most progress
sive organizations within the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron and Steel
workers, and witnessed one Of those
tragedies that ever hang over the
heads of the working class, at all
times and everywhere.
A member of the lodge had been
sent to the st. Paul convention and he
had not seen fit to let the owners of
his job know he was going away. He,
like many others of the working class,
labored under the delusion that he had
the right to act as he had been taught
in school, that all American workers
had the right to act, go where he
pleased and do as he pleased.
However upon his return he found
his money waiting for him. He was
discharged. l could not but think Of
this tragedy of private ownership in
the jobs of the workers as / sat and
listened to the committee that had his
case in hand. as the committee re-
ported the verdict of the owners or at
least those who acted in their stead,
that he had no right to return to work,
because he had not reported off when
he left to go to the convention.
Not a man in that lodge room but
had to say to himself as he heard the
report of the committee: "This is a
deliberate attempt to intimidate the
members Of this lodge who work in
the MILL This is a deliberate attempt
to keep in subsection the working
class" This worker was militant
fighting member of the working class
and a member of the Workers Party,
and the company had in view the
making an example of him for the ef-
feet it would have upon the balance of
the men in the mill.
! Thousands of workers are in rebel
lion against this control Of the mills,
mines and factories by the parasites of
the country. Thousands are seeing as
this worker is being forced to see, the
tragedy of the control Of their Jobs
thru this ownership, and they are not
going to rest until they wrest the
power of control from the master class
and make the worker the supreme ar
bitter over his job. Not ownership,
but, use of the job will be The test in
the future society.
However we must realize that at
present we are not in possession OF
our jobs, and one of the problems we
must work out in our labor unions is
that Of getting greater control Of the
Job. In striving for this complete con
troll, we must not lose sight Of the
task we must accomplish in our fight
for the complete ownership and con
troll of the job, and that is to see that
we place at the head ofNour labor un
ions. men and women who have this
vital view point as thier ideal: The
mastery OF the job by the workers.

, supposedly all showing that Philadel
phia is entitled to raise her fare to be
in the class with the other cities. No
mention is made of raising wages, OF
costs of service, nor is any hint OF
the company's profits estimated.
The cars are all decorated with the

STORE FOR WORK
Thousands Try to Get

BY SYLVAN A. PoLLAck
Especial to the Daily Worker.)

NEW YORK, July 31.-Hundreds of
unemployed men and women stormed
the doors Of Saks and Company in an
swer to their advertisement for help
in their new Fifth Ave. department
store.
Upon reaching the new building the
applicants found hundreds more OF
men and women, young and old, stand
ing on the street and not allowed in
the building until some of those who
were inside came out and made room
for them. Occasionally policeman
came along and made all those stand

Crowds Renewed
This process kept up for hours, so
the DAILY WORKER representative
is unable to say exactly how many ac-
tually answered the advertisement, for
when he left, the ranks Of those an
swering, were continually swelled by
new arrivals who took the place Of
those who obtained an interview.
After a long wait on the street the
applicants were taken up to the en-
ployment department in small groups,
where after again waiting in line they
at last faced the employment manager
who asked each applicant if they ever
worked in department store. If they
answered in the negative they were
told that they could not be used. II
they said they had department store
experience an application blank was

out and return in a week.
No Work For Weeks
On inquiry, it was found out that
the store will not open until Sept. Is,
or maybe later.

advertisement were bitter at the

The working class women of this city
and vicinity ought to follow the ex-
ample Of the Chicago women who
banished Happy Home" prison-made
dresses from the department stores of
that city for the time being at least.
The women pestered store buyers and
informed customers until the dresses
were taken away.
Wurzburg's here is advertising these
prison-made dresses at $11S, and of
course all the women think What a
bargain!" realizing that they could
scarcely make the dresses themselves
at that price. But the poor women
don't realize what they're getting.
The Happy Home" dresses, accord
ing to Kate Richards O'Hare, who is
organizing a national fight against
prison goods, are made in Onomoosa
penitentiary in absolutely insanitary
conditions and the lurking germs in
the Happy Home" dresses may break
up the happy homes of working class
women who are misled into buying
the dresses.
"Big Yank" shirts, sold by the Re
lance Manufacturing company, are
also prison-made goods and should be
avoided in spite of the alluring big
billboards advertising them.

FAKERS' HOPES
Many Eager Aspirants
for the Job
Especial to The Daily Worker,

WASHINGTON, July 31.--Again the
rumors Of Gompers retirement are
making the rounds of American Fed
Grafton circles. The rumors are
stronger than usual this time due
to the sickroom-ridden condition Of
the decrepit president.
Again speculation is rife as to which
chieftain will seize the scepter when
it drops from the aged mans hands.
Half dozen names are on mems
lips here, with the betting odds al
ways on the most outstanding reac-
tionaries.
Fat Boys Like Berry.
George L. Berry, strike breaking
president of the pressmen, is the fav-
orite of many of the fat boys;
Daniel Tobin, of the teamsters and
the executive council Of the A. F. of
L., is another favorite with a slight
edge over Berry, because the latter
comes from the printing trades which
already have their place in the heir
archy thru Secretary Frank Morrison.
Peter Brady, labor banker and
holder of a political sinecure under
the Hylan administration is being
quietly doomed. Brady has diplomatic
personality and has smiled his way
forward pretty well but he is not re-
garded as the most serious contender.
Those two heads of the largest
unions, John L. Lewis of the miners
and William Hutcheson of the car
penters, have powerful backing for
the job and if either of them will
waive his aspirations in favor of the
other he takes the lead over all the
other hopefuls.
Matt WolI a Poor Bet.
Matthew Vol. of the Photo-En-
gravers, is considered to be Gompers'
own choice. Vol has again and
again acted as Sans spokesman on
important occasions as at the Port
land convention where he screamed
against the Soviet government for
half an hour until his senior was
ready with his own speech. Vol is
glibber-tongued than Hutcheson or
Tobin, for instance, more apt with the
neat reactionary utterance expected
from the president Of the A. F. Of L.
by the capitalist press on all occa-
sions but there are great obstacles in
his way. He is personally unpopular
with the other labor takers and he
comes from the printing trades which
have already furnished their quota in
the person of Morrison.
There is a big question mark after
the name of any of these candidates
but Of one thing there is no doubt.
When Sam passes out there will be
a wild rush towards the throne.
