LAFOLLETTE IN
NEAR COLLAPSE
DURING SPEECH
Physician Induces Him
to Retire

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Doubt that
LaFoflette will be able to conduct a
strenuous campaign for the presidency
on an independent ticket was in
creased, after the Wisconsin senator,
while delivering a speech in the SEN
ate on his motion to take the Fish
resolution making $10,00O,0O0 avail
able for German relief, from the for
eign relations committee, was induced
to retire from the chamber by Doctor
Copeland. Of New York, before he had
time to finish his harangue.
The Wisconsin senator worked him.
self up into a frenzy as he spoke and
fears were expressed that he would
collapse. In spite Of reports to the
contrary, it is we'll known in Wash
ington that his health will not permit
him to stand the strain Of a strenuous
campaign and if the political situation
does not look good to him, his physi-
cal condition may provide an excuse
for withdrawal from the race.
1t is well known that the nominal
ton of William Gibbs McAdoo on the
Democratic ticket would so divide the
ranks of the potential supporters of
LaFollette that race with any possi-
bility Of success would be out of the
question. Many of the labor leaders
are strong for Wilson's son-in-law
while others swear by LaFollette.
Again, Gompers looks with ill-con-
cealed hostility on any policy except
answering allegiance to the Demo
cratic party which has jobbed SO many
of his friends.
One Of the last acts OF the session
was to have committee of five APP
pointed to watch expenditures in the
next presidential campaign. The
members Of the committee are Borah,
Iowa, chairman; Jones, Washington;
Shipstead, Minnesota; Caraway and
Bayard.

G. 0. P. Regulars Spend
Much Dough in War
On Senator Brookhart
(By Federated Pressy

WASHINGTON, June 9.-After look
ing over the evidences of wholesale
use OF money by the administration
forces, to defeat Senator 5rookhart
in the Iowa Republican primary OF
June 2. Senator Norris offered to pro.
pose an investigation into this scan
dial. The state law OF Iowa forbids
the use OF more than $22,50O in the
nomination and election Of a man to
the Senate. The four-page newspaper
issued by the Sweet committee and
sent to $4,000 voters. and the circu.
lars distributed lavishly in the same
effort to discredit Brookhart, must
have cost many times that sum. The
fight was made on the charge that
Senator Brookhart was a communist
revolutionary, who would favor aboli-
ton Of the family and the home, and
would promote conditions of degrade
ton OF children and women. A letter
to this effect was sent to every clergy
man in the state, IN the hope OF de-
stroying the faith OF the farmers IN
Brookhart. He won decisively, be-
cause the farmers were tired OF tho
anti-red propaganda stories.

that when, after persistent dunning
the foreman for a raise, they have
their hourly rate slightly increased,
only to receive a like reduction on the
piece work end, or vice versa.
At present the efficiency staff of the
Western Electric is busy eliminating
employees wherever possible, discharg.
ing those in departments marked for
wage reduction, and then rehiring
the same men or others at the re.
duced scale.
The efficiency department is also
connected with the spying and inform
ing work. 1t is a general complaint
of all workers interviewed by the
DAILY WORKER that in no other
plant in the country are there as
many inspectors, spies and informers
as there are in the Western Electric
company. These men overrun the
plant, guarding the supplies Of the
company, making sure that the men
do not loaf a minute during the whole
day, and spying out and firing rebels
or men who have been agitating fo>
the organization of the union. The
DAILY WORKER came across one
