RETURNS SHOW
COMMUNIST VOTE
BEAT SOCIALISTS
Explains How S. P. Cut
Own Throat
BY Charles Schwartz.
Especial TO The Daily Worker)

REVERE, Mass, Nov. 3O.-In this
little town of Massachusetts, the state
of rock-ribbed conservatism, a most
significant indication of what the
own legs against the progressive"
sweep, an indication which, in view
Of the lingering memories of Paul
Revere, makes rather amusing the slo-
gan Of the socialist party in the cleo
tion--"Back to 1776i"
In this instance, where apparently
at least part of the Communist
votes were counted, is the proof that
the socialist party got it in the neck
as it richly deserved.
Comparative Auitationa Strength.
1t is instructive as we'll as interest
ing to know that in this city the "For-
wards" of Abe Cahan, has 500 read
ers, while the "Freiheit" has only go
and the DAILY WORKER only 20. In
the light Of this comparative strength.
the following returns of this one town
should be reckoned:
For president, Coolidge, 1882;
DAVIS, 1874; LaFollette, l,75S; Eos
ter, 81.
For governor, Curley, democrat, A.
1926; Fuller, republican, 1862; John
Ballam, Workers Party, go; Hutchins,
socialist, 81.
For lieutenant-governor, the repub-
lican got 1868; democrat, 1926; E. r.
Stevens of the Workers Party, 12S;
the socialist, 80.
For secretary of state, republican,
S,760; democrat, 1887; W. A. Dwyer,
of the Workers Party, 800; socialist,
$50.
For senator, the democrat, 1864;
the republican, 1851, while Antoinette
F. Konikow Of the Workers Party, got
1872 votes.

WORKING RULES
CHANGED OFFSET
WAGE INCREASE
$4,000 Engineers and
Firemen Affected

Seventy-five thousand en-
gineers, firemen and hostIeFs
employed on as western rail-
roads have received wage in
creases Of approximately five
per cent, in a decision of the
United States railroad labor
board.
The wage increase is some
what nullifed, it is declared,
however, because of changes in
the working rules in favor OF
the railroad carriers.
Won't Affect Strike Ballot
The strike ballot now being taken
on the Southern Pacific railroad by
the brotherhoods OF locomotive engi-
neers and firemen and locomotive fire.
men and enginemen will not be af-
fected by the labor boards decision.
The decision will probably be ignored
by the two brotherhoods, as the off,
cials have denied the right Of the rail-
road labor board to assume jurisdic-
ton of the dispute between the car
riers and the brotherhoods.
The brotherhoods refused to accent
the authority Of the railroad labor
board last June, walking out Of the
conference room, and stating their In
tention Of dealing direct with the in
dividual carriers. Charges were made
at that time by the brotherhood ON
cials that the railroad labor board was
prejudiced in favor Of the railroad
owners. The board then ordered nine
ty officials of the brotherhoods to testi-
fly before it, but they refused.
Demand Union Officials Testify.
In the test case Of D. B. Robertson.
president of the firemen, and ]. NJ
MCGUIRE, of the engineers organiza,
tion, who refused to obey the boards
summons. the federal courts decided
that the railroad union officials must
testify. The brotherhood officials an.
nounced that the case will be taken to
the United States supreme court.
1t is not known whether the officials
Of the brotherhoods will accept the
decision of the railroad labor board.
The Southern Pacific employees lose by
the decision, as the former rule of
100 miles to days work as the basis
Of pay has been abolished, thus doing
away with most Of the overtime pay.
Three rules which are still before
the board will be decided by the test
case before the supreme court. Mean
while individual negotiations between
the brotherhoods and the carriers are
still going on.

Management Starts Open Shop Drive
The management discharged the
scab, but began to victimize the union
men who had brot the complaint, and
gave about forty of the oldest union
men employed at the shops five day
notice Of discharge. To cover up thi'
discrimination against the union men
the company pretends that it is
merely enforcing an agreement o,
1921, which provides that all EN-
ployes of so years or more who en-.
tered service since agreement was
made, may be discharged at the dis.
cretion of the company.

The company also sets up the ex-
cuse that because the union had no

er, who was an old man. the company
is justified in firing all old union men,
regardless Of either their welfare or
the union rules.
The particular injustice of their ac
tion lies in the fact that conditions ir
the shops are so rotten and the wage
standard gives such poor sustenance
that many OF these employees who
have worked at the shop for many
years, techanically have entered EN-.
ployment since 1921, because Ill
health caused by bad shop conditions
have compelled them to lay off and
lose seniority rights, coming back as
new employees"
Shop Solidarity Must Rule.
AS bad as conditions are. the work
ers know that things will become
worse IL the management is success
full in this discrimination against the
union men, which is looked upon as
an opening attack on the shop crafts.
II this attack is not checked by the
vigilance and solidarity Of the entire
body OF workers in the shops, 1t is
certain that further attacks will be
made upon the shopmen all over the
country and an attempt made to wipe
out the unions completely.
The various union committees in the
shops have met and expressed the In
dignation OF the men at this brutal at
tack on the unions, and the chairman
Of the shop craft federation is expect

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3o.-FioreIIo
LaGuardia, representative from the
goth district Of New York, is de-
manding Of the house that he be
listed as a progressive, and not as
a socialist, aItho he was elected to
office by running on the socialist
ticket.
LaGuardia has changed party
"afflIIatlons" more than once during
the course Of the election campaign.
In the primaries, he was a candl-
date on the republican ticket. De-
feated there, he had himself certified
as a member Of the socialist party.
The secretary Of state Of New York
did the certifying, and in this way
LaGuardia became a member Of the
socialist party thru endorsement of
democratic officials. His expense
accounts for the campaign we're
listed under socialist accounts. At
least one expense account had the
word progressive" crossed out and
the word Socialist" written in.

Grass Votes
For High School


The progressive citizens Of
Sweet Grass voted on Wednesday
of this week to decide whether
or not they should have a high
school. We are not sure how it
was decided, but without a doubt,
it carried, and this would be RICH.
What is the matter with Kelvin
having a high school? All we
need to do is to go after it. If
the good and progressive citiz-
ems Of Kelvin would turn their
heads and minds to something Of
this nature Kelvin would soon
become a town-a town that
would be worth something to the
whole community. There is no
need Of the children who have
just passed the eighth grade ex-
aminations having to go away to
school, causing much extra ex-
pense to parents. If we will get
out and get busy and bring a
high school to Keyin, it will be a
move that is worth while.

"Of wild cat structures being

more than four have a chance of
becoming fields of major impor-
lance. There is proven territory
where the production can be in

increase is not likely to approach
the slump in one such field as
Signal Hill or Powell, Texas.
Nearly every big company is
taking tests of wild cat area and
some of them are appropriating
large portions of their reserve
funds for exploration work.
More money will be expended in
the exploration of wild cat terri

previous years. Montana will
